Hoping for a BFP in July

So thought I'd start a new thread for anyone who's hoping for a July BFP. My AF showed up today a week early after getting loads of pregnancy symptoms 🥲 think my body is still out of sync after my miscarriage in April.

So let's stay positive for a July BFP 🥰

Hi all
CD 2 here so just waiting for AF to bugger off so we can go again for the next cycle! Fingers crossed for a July positive for us all

Angie2018 · 17/06/2022 22:02

@My2boysaremyworld absolutely!! It's a fab sign I'm glad for you x

My2boysaremyworld · 17/06/2022 22:04

@Summerbreeze111 sorry to hear your news. I hope ur doing ok? I had a miscarriage in April and wouldn't wish it on anyone. We was the same as you and got straight into TTC after 2 weeks. Be kind to yourself xx

@Summerbreeze111 sorry to hear you are having a miscarriage, be gentle with yourself and lots of self care xx

Hi guys, can I jump on. Iv been on a few threads before, but Iv had a three month break from TTC as it was really affecting my mental health. I had a miscarriage end of November and what would have been my due date is creeping up on me.

This cycle we started trying again, AF was two days late and I was feeling nauseous so I was getting my hopes up, yesterday I started spotting and this morning AF has reared her ugly head.
How do you ladies not let it affect your mental health to much? I just feel so flat and feel it's not going to happen.

Also anyone heard any success stories with acupuncture and fertility? I'm considering trying it.
Xxx

Angie2018 · 18/06/2022 10:16

@Shiny88 hey! Sorry to hear about your miscarriage that must have been awful for you. I can't totally get why you would want to take a break! It's a really hard journey isn't it, my partner and I have just started our 6th cycle TTC with a chemical in our 5th cycle and Covid from cycle 2-3 which was awful. I was super down for months about all of this until last cycle where I had a chemical & I saw it as a good thing tbh. I now know I can get pregnant and the right egg will come along. Although it's hard, try to see everything as a positive and mentally that will help you and put you in a better mindset for conceiving! You got this 💪🏻 xxx

Angie2018 · 18/06/2022 10:18

@Shiny88 oh and yes I have acupuncture to egg build every month as she has so many success stories!! I also notice that I have more EWCM & ovulation symptoms the months I see her. Defo give it a try! They can balance hormones and relieve stress which all helps xxx

Shiny88 · 18/06/2022 10:38

@Angie2018 thank you and I'm also sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy.
I will definitely try to look at the positive side of things as you have said.
Fingers crossed this cycle will both be our cycles for BFP! I'm going into cycle 10 now 😅. Seems like such a long time but when you think about it there's only 1 day of each month where an egg is released.

Regarding the acupuncture is there any particular time of your cycle you should have the acupuncture? And how many sessions do you have in a month?

Thanks 😊 xxx

Angie2018 · 18/06/2022 10:47

@Shiny88 ah thank you! It's tough, but in my mind I just keep telling myself my body rejected it for a reason and that it had something wrong and so I am grateful my body did what it needed to do and also proved to me the sperm met the egg! It's very easy to get down though and being positive is hard so don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day or two that's normal. I am now cycle 6, but I am also seeing that as cycle 1 as we did get pregnant last cycle even though it didn't stick. I find it's helping me not to obsess over the time it's taking! I have acupuncture once every month, I have it before I ovulate and she helps to egg build which assists my body to build more eggs and assists with ovulation and so far it's defo helped! I am due to ovulate in 5 days and I had my first bit of EWCM this morning and at 33 to have 5 days of it is a really good thing, I swear acupuncture has boosted this! I also got super down and sad and fed up cycle 4, so I made a list of why each month would be special to find out I am pregnant and why each due date would be special and that's helped me move onto the next month each time with something to look forward too!!xxx

Angie2018 · 18/06/2022 10:49

@Shiny88 and exactly, it's actually not that easy to fall pregnant and it be successful, even for super healthy couples with no known fertility issues. If you've had a miscarriage already it's proof your body can get pregnant and so the right egg will come along. Have you tried the SMEP!? I am trying it this month and it basically ensures there will be sperm there when you ovulate and women swear by it as to how they got pregnant. Maybe give that a try? Are you tracking BBT or using ovulation sticks? Xxx

My2boysaremyworld · 18/06/2022 11:03

@Shiny88 sorry to hear your struggling. Be kind to yourself. I follow a girl on TikTok that was struggling to get pregnant and stay pregnant. She had acupuncture not long ago and is now 7 weeks pregnant and it's the furthest she's ever got so far. So I guess there is benefits to it xx

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 18/06/2022 15:18

Hope everyone doing good. CD10 now. I wanted to do SMEP again this month but with shifts patterns at work I'm barely seeing dh. Wasn't expecting him home today until after I left for work but he turned up home early so I jumped on him 😅Going to start ovulation tests today too so see if I get CD14 peak like last month.

LucyLoopyLu · 19/06/2022 15:40

Hi all 👋 just marking my place.
I'm on CD4, apps are predicting ovulation on 2st July and AF on 16th July

I will probably start OPKs next weekend. I don't want to get too hung up on OPKs but I did find it interesting last cycle (going into cycle 3 now).

Hoping we get lucky soon 🤞

LucyLoopyLu · 19/06/2022 15:41

**1st July 🙃

Wish there was an edit button

My2boysaremyworld · 19/06/2022 19:29

Ooh getting very excited. My ovulation tests are getting stronger showing high and got lots of CM 😍 looks like my body has got back to normal. DTD early hours this morning after a girls night out and planning on doing it tonight too and the next couple of days as doing the SMEP.
Was at the dentist yesterday and today . Started a deep root canal treatment today 😩 so not feeling great but will try to push through ( no pun intended 🤣)

OP posts:
Angie2018 · 19/06/2022 19:41

@My2boysaremyworld ah how was your night out?! That's good you still managed to DTD!! It's so satisfying when the opks start to get stronger 🤣 I've done two today and got excited as the last one was stronger! I have a flashing smiley today showing high fertility so we DTD yesterday as started to get lots of EWCM, then tomo we will DTD, and I suspect I will get my peak Tuesday so will do three days in a row. When are you due to ovulate?? I am 22nd. So we can hang out in the TWW together 🤣 glad you are getting tooth sorted!!

Angie2018 · 19/06/2022 19:42

@My2boysaremyworld we are also doing SMEP!

Let's hope this is what gets us our BFPs!!!

My2boysaremyworld · 19/06/2022 19:45

@Angie2018 my Femometer app says the 22nd and my premom app has gone off course cuz I had a false test result which gave a false peak lol. So will just keep testing. Does high mean I'm ovulating or do I need to see the peak word?

My night was good thanks. Woke up feeling sick cuz I thought I was getting my tooth extracted this morning. So when I went in and saw a different dentist she said it wasn't that tooth and I could have treatment. Felt like a right twat with my tooth this weekend, been so anxious with it .

Yes would be nice to do the TTW with you xx

My2boysaremyworld · 19/06/2022 19:50

@Angie2018 these are my test results

Hoping for a BFP in July

allgoodthings84 · 19/06/2022 19:57

@My2boysaremyworld it will change to peak once you get a result that’s lower as the app doesn’t know what your peak is until the tests start to go back down. When you test tomorrow morning or afternoon that latest high will likely change to peak if you see what I mean

My2boysaremyworld · 19/06/2022 19:58

@allgoodthings84 oh ok I get it. So is there a number you need to reach or is it different for every woman?

OP posts:
allgoodthings84 · 19/06/2022 19:58

@My2boysaremyworld then ovulation is usually 24-36 hours after the first peak

allgoodthings84 · 19/06/2022 19:59

@My2boysaremyworld different for every woman and different for each cycle too. If it’s over 1 then the highest result will be peak. If it’s over 80 it will be high if it’s not your peak

My2boysaremyworld · 19/06/2022 20:00

@allgoodthings84 thank you 😘

Angie2018 · 19/06/2022 20:01

@My2boysaremyworld gif you had a good night! So sorry to hear about your tooth though, atleast you can get it sorted and hopefully you will start to feel better soon!

Ah I don't use premom anymore, I found it difficult for some reason and was predicting a later ovulation. I use period tracker which has always been bang on and also use natural cycles too. I find that easy. I know I get the one sided pain, shit loads of EWCM & a spot of ovulation blood in my EWCM on day 12 so I think that's ovulation day for me which is 22nd too.

Last month I DTD on day 12 & 13 and had a chemical so atleast I know without tracking I knew my peak.

I use a digital one and so it tells me, but I think the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line. And I have seen someone else post a picture like yours and theirs said peak when it was peak. If you are due to ovulate on 22nd like I am I suspect you aren't at peak yet.

I think it's going to be late Monday / Tuesday for me just judging by how my symptoms are every month but we are all different.

If you have EWCM just DTD anyway. We will be tomo for sure. And did yesterday.

I look forward to doing the TWW with you too. Will you test early?? Xx
