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

@BellaTheDarkOverlord yes thanks, broke now. Kids drove me mad!! There away with their dad from Monday so I know I will miss them lol. Yeah the pains were strange 🤷🏻‍♀️xx

Has anyone tested on ovulation tests after ovulation? Iv just done one at 6DPO and got a reading of 0.14 and my last reading day after my peak was 0.22. Can this mean anything? Xx

Finally got my peak 🥰 time to BD! Flashing smiley this morning but solid this afternoon 😁

@My2boysaremyworld I know how you feel. I was broke too after holiday. DD moaned loads as it was so hot but I struggled too tbf. I've never checked with ovulation sticks but I'm sure someone on last thread did and proved they didn't make a difference I think.

@NatalieSF Have fun! 😁Get BDing!

I'm slightly getting hopeful. Tmi but I usually have spotting after going to toilet following constipation. I've "been" but no spotting. Dare I get hopeful 😆Still only early at 10DPO.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord fingers crossed for you. I'm sure there's nothing in the tests either just wondered. Iv never tested after this late. Never got to do a second test after my peak as went away that day xx

@My2boysaremyworld There could be some truth in it. Not sure.

I think I had a little bit of pink on toilet roll this afternoon. Very slight. But then since had nothing. I'm hoping spotting doesn't start. Would mean AF definitely on her way. No symptoms today. After midnight and 11DPO now.

@BirdIsland so you now ovulate around CD15 and have around 9 day luteal phase? Yes that is quite short. I've heard vitamin B6 can help to lengthen it

@My2boysaremyworld that sounds promising. Fingers crossed for you.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord I'm hoping these are good signs for you.

Hi girls, so after all my confusion with the OPK they are finally getting darker. Possibly could have peak today or tomorrow but have come down with tonsillitis and feel awful! So looks like this month won't be our month

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish @Jade57 . It's so annoying when illness affects planning. We both had covid and had a very hit and miss month earlier in the year!

Following my bfn I'm quite confused what my cramping was on 2/3 DPO. I'm wondering if maybe I've got my ovulation wrong and I had a second peak. I think I'm going to keep LH testing post ovulation next month..

I can’t tell if this is a BFP or an evap? I tested at 11pm last night and this morning it’s slightly lighter. I’m 8DPO

@TTCourfirst how quickly did the line come up? I've had similar evaps on those tests, but they all appeared way out of the set timeframe you're meant to check. Although even if it's an evap, 8DPO is super early. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

@EdinburghGirl1 Yes I hope spotting doesnt start as that's my main symptom for pregnancy x

@TTCourfirst It is still early. Some people get darker lines in afternoon ice heard. Perhaps test in a few days again and see Goodluck!

@jalu47 Yes maybe next month if you don't catch this month, test a few more days after peak to see if it changes.

@Jade57 Sorry you're ill x always comes at the worst time doesn't it. Hope you feel better x

11DPO. No spotting yet. I was considering test today but it would mean getting a test this afternoon and testing at work. I might pick a test up tomorrow when I go in town then test after AF. Still expecting spotting to come.

Thank you! Straight away, within a minute. I am going to buy a FRER and take that tomorrow!

@TTCourfirst that looks positive to me! I hope they start to get darker :)

CD16 today and finally had my static face on clear blue.. however easy@home tests has logged the same sample as 0.56, does anyone know if clear blue is more sensitive?

also just flapping abit (lol) we DTD yesterday, but today with peak we won’t actually see eachother due to work schedules till I finish work at 1am this morning do you think this will matter? I’m panicking trying to follow smep but it’s so hard to stick to something when you have other commitments xx

Still no af 4 days late and another BFN yesterday evening 😭 had some blood when I wiped last night so put a pad on and then nothing since...so fed up...

Thank you! Just took some more expensive tests!

I lost twins in April so I’m excited but so nervous for another loss

Congratulations @TTCourfirst!!

Congratulations @TTCourfirst . Sorry about your loss, we had a loss in April too. Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months xx

Hi ladies. I had been quiet since the previous thread because I had a CP and needed a break. I wanted to ask though.. are any of you taking folic acid while ttc or you wait until bfp?

@Salpforyou yes I take folic acid. I now take pregnacare which has it in it. It's recommended to take folic acid when ttc before you are pregnant

@Salpforyou I'm so sorry about your CP

@Salpforyou so sorry for your loss. Yes I take folic acid, I made sure I was taking it from before we started trying. You want to have some in your system for when you first concieve. It helps with the development of the nueral tube and brain, which all develop in early pregnancy x

Hi all I’m new to this thread (but on the TTC June baby one). I’m 41 and thought TTC would never be possible for health reasons (long story) but now it is and I’m hoping it’s not too late for us.

@Salpforyou I was already taking folic acid and vitamin D due to a deficiency I had years ago. I mentioned TTC to my GP who has prescribed higher dose folic acid. Pregnacare also contains it so you could take that.

@TTCourfirst Congrats!

@Salpforyou Sorry for your loss x I take folic acid.

@anotherpotoftea I don't think it's too late. I know a few people had children in their 40s. Goodluck!

I had the slightest bit of spotting last night at 11DPO. Felt so down as that means AF on way. Due 31st. It's hard as last month spotting started 7DPO and this month took all the way to evening of 11DPO to start. I was really hoping I'd gotten away with it this month 😔Just waiting for AF now.
