Hoping for BFP August/September

[BellaTheDarkOverlord]

Follow on for those still hoping for baby dust and luck for those BFPs in Aug and Sept🍀Goodluck all x

@My2boysaremyworld gosh, what a limbo you’re in! I hope you get an answer one way or the other.

When I was irregular, I would have cycles that were as long as 60 days! That meant it was difficult to TTC blindly.
With my last baby, I ovulated on day 27 and had a positive test on day 37ish. I wouldn’t have known how to focus DTD if I wasn’t testing.
Ive been regular since my implant came out this time round.

Hi, can I join? TTC number 2, 5th cycle, currently 3dpo! I will be testing next weekend 🤞

@Missgemini thanks will just have to wait and see what my body decides to do xx

@LuckyMoonstone welcome! I’m 1dpo, so should be testing around the same time.

@Albieroo This thread is great for advice as everyone has had different experiences x I'm new to OPKs these last few months. I had never used them previously.

@lozobGoodluck! A faint line is still a positive! Hope it gets darker for you.

@My2boysaremyworld What about booking a gp appointment? Would they test your hcg levels?

Evening all just catching up from today. Wednesdays are my day off with my DD so not been on here much today.

Hi @BirdIsland and welcome. I'm
Also waiting for AF to arrive. Current toy 13dpo. Fingers crossed this cycle for you.

@My2boysaremyworld sorry to hear you got a bfn. Good idea to text again in a couple days.

@cillacilla welcome. Sorry I've only really used clear blue digital ones.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord so sorry to hear AF arrived for. I think I'll be joining you for ne t cycle in next day or so. Keeping positive thoughts for this cycle. Definitely good idea too up the water intake.

@Shiny88 that's good you're feeling more relaxed

@lozob welcome. I'm sorry I'm not sure what might be going on? Maybe post Covid your body is trying to re-regulate?

@LuckyMoonstone welcome too and hope tww goes quickly god you.

Thanks guys 🤞🏻but not getting my hopes up! Just have to try to be patient!

@BellaTheDarkOverlord would I need to be more than a week late? Xx

Another thread already 🙈
I think I ovulated yesterday, had some cramping on the right side, very weird dream and woke up with very sweaty legs (I'm in Australia so it's winter here).
So I think today is 1DPO

Ohhh I’m the same, period finished on Sunday there so I did an ovulation test this evening. Same faint line as you and flo app is telling me that best chances to conceive start from tomorrow. Going to keep taking the tests this week and pinpoint peak ovulation (on top of DTD!)
My AF should due on 25 August, when is yours due?

@EdinburghGirl1 For good reasons I hope you don't join me this cycle and you get your BFP X

@My2boysaremyworld No clue tbh. I've never seen GP for anything like that. I suppose it depends on your gp really. Have you been this late before with AF? Do you think your tooth treatment has interfered with it at all?

Hey everyone 👋

Currently cd13 of cycle 2 and in the fertile window 🥰 mirena was removed in June so not sure if cycles have regulated, apps put me in fertile window next week but opks came up positive yesterday. Af due around 22nd

@BellaTheDarkOverlord I'm never this late. I use to be before I had my eldest cuz of how bad my PCOS and endometriosis was but that settled down after having him xx

Hi ladies,

Was active on the last thread last month but this month been taking it easy. We haven't been actively trying this month but I'm going to the fair today for my nephews birthday so thought I'd test cause I know I'm around 8/9dpo so wanted to check before I went on any rides!

Had something very very faint come up in the timeframe. Don't know if it's worth avoiding it today based on this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Morning all!

Im 1DPO today according to apps, i had my peak ovulation tests on Tuesday so predicated ovulation day was yesterday.
I get zero signs of ovulation though so rely on the apps and ovulation tests!

Already have a feeling this is going to be the longest two week wait!

Good luck everybody x

@mamazac good to see you! I suspect the line is easier to see in real life. The camera hasn’t quite captured it. Fingers crossed for you!

@Missgemini yeah it really is very faint. If I wasn't going to the fair today I would probably have just disregarded it but overthinking because I don't want to do any harm going on rides!

@LauraA31 I’m 2dpo, so on the same boy as you!
we’ve got this!

Cycle day 3 of Cycle #3
We’ve been ttc since January with a loss in April

Can anyone help me with OPK please? I know some use them twice a day and some use them once? Would it be OK if I used them once - what time of day? Do you need to hold wee for a while before taking them?
Also when do you start taking them, the day after your AF finishes? Then do you stop taking them the day after you peak? Or until AF is due or arrives

Sorry for all the questions!

Baby dust to us all

@mamazac I wouldn’t have thought going on fair rides could affect things, but I’m no expert.
I went on a really physically active hen do when I was a few dpo with my last baby. Thankfully didn’t drink on that trip, so was very happy when I had a positive test a couple days later.

@Essexgalttc the ‘perfect’ way to test is from day 8 of cycle and every day until peak. I’ve read that we should avoid first morning urine and test during the day. Doesn’t really matter too much how much time you’ve held urine for, because that peak test result will be dark no matter what. The LH surge has a much higher hormone level than during the rest of the month. I test once a day around the same time, but I know people who test twice a day.
I’ve never missed the peak by testing once a day.

@Essexgalttc I have been using ovulation tests for the last two months so I am super new to them too but can tell you what i do.
I use the easy@home tests alongside the premom app, the app recommended me to start testing once a day from the day after my period. When the tests started to get darker i used the tests twice per day (the app told me to haha).
I test mid/late afternoon and try test at the same time each day, i read in the instructions that LH levels are at their best between 12pm-6pm, don’t know how right that is. I do my tests around 4pm and when i test twice a day i do 12pm and 4pm.

I also use the clearblue ovulation tests which predict your four most fertile days, i use these once the line on my easy@home tests start to get a little darker and only use these once a day alongside my easy@home ones. I got my solid smiling face on clearblue at the same time as my super dark line on easy@home so assume they work well ha!
Good luck! X

@Missgemini Yay we are so close! We can get through the next two weeks, nice to have somebody so close to me DPO wise! 🙂

@Missgemini thank you so much!

@LauraA31 thank you that is helpful too! Hopefully we all start seeing our BFP’s this month!

@My2boysaremyworld just caught up on your posts, it must be so frustrating for you not knowing what is going on! So strange.

AF turned up for me this morning at 9DPO, so 5 days early. Covid has really messed with my cycles. And stupidly I let myself symptom spot yesterday ☹️
