apologies if some of you have had their BFP/ still waiting for it - missed people (I know there’s a few) - I took this from the June thread 💖

I've also been invited for my Covid booster (not sure why, I don't think I'm particularly at risk) but think I might give it a miss for now - I've heard it can disrupt your cycle, so I'm not sure I want to risk it!

We decided to start trying month early (were planning to from November onwards). Let's see the outcome around 20th of this month 🤔

Hi all 🖐 I was on the May thread (sadly didn't get the luck) but I skipped the June thread.

I'm still in the running for a late June baby but not feeling confident at all. Don't think I will test, just wait for AF which is due on Friday.

Already planning for next cycle - if no joy next time (cycle 7) going to pay for some tests privately. My husband is keen too but from my POV it's a lot easier for men 🤣 I'm a bit worried as I hate doctors / hospitals and also have a needle phobia. I was hoping when the time came for medical appointments I could at least distract myself from needle phobia etc by thinking about my BFP and getting excited. But I am psyching myself up to get it done now.

@NSx My sister gave me the monitor so I only had to buy the sticks but think they were £40, I don’t think I would bother buying the monitor myself I can’t see it does any different than just the normal smiley sticks xx

@FieldView Im CD7 also, I’ve got preseed and the ferti-lily this cycle!xxx

CD8 and AF is still here, doesn’t seem to want to go away this cycle

@ChloeN ah ok I won’t bother then 😂😂 spent enough on the CB advanced OPKs as it is 😩 …
I also have been using the fertilily ..I think this is my second cycle with it 😂 also use preseed but going for the CB lube this time 🤞✨
@FieldView don’t do the covid booster it delays AF definitely it happened to me 😩😩 cycle 11 I’m sending lots of baby dust your way ❤️ hopefully this is a lucky month for us x

@FieldView if I was you I would take the booster if you're offered.
There is evidence that it can impact the timing of your cycle but the changes seem to be temporary and there is no evidence that the vaccine impacts fertility. Read this article later today which shows a new study and you might find it interesting:

On the other hand, being pregnant increases your risk of serious disease if you do catch covid. If you are in later on in pregnancy when you catch it, covid in pregnancy also increases your risk of low birth weight and still birth. Every booster minimises your chances of catching covid and if you do catch covid it can drastically decrease the chance of serious disease.

If you're looking at the evidence and weighing up the risk, getting the booster is what the NHS would recommend.

@NSx no honestly I wouldn’t, it takes bloody ages to read the tests as well🤣🤣 do you use them with the syringes? I was thinking of just using the preseed as normal lube🤣🤣

I'm 4 dpo, got my peak on cd11! Was so not expecting it that early lol. Didn't get that many chances to dtd since it was so early. Although we did manage ovulation day and the day after which we've not managed before so 🤞🤞

@babydust99 sounds like you're got it covered 🤞 fingers crossed for you

@LucyLoopyLu we dtd 3 days before aswell 🙏

@ChloeN i think I’ll just stick with what I’m doing and hope for the best 😂😂😂😂 🤞

Hey can I join!? TTC baby no 1, cycle 4, really struggled when AF came a few days ago. My heart goes out to anyone trying for a long time because I’m fully aware it is early days for me still but it’s bloody hard. Seen about 6/7 pregnancy announcements this week too which wasn’t great, but starting to feel a little more positive again. Anybody doing anything new this cycle. I’m trying to cut down on sugar/carbs and get in the gym to lose a little weight and drink more water. I could do with losing a stone or 2 so I figured that might help my chances. I’m looking into supplements but the information is overwhelming so think I might stick to folic acid for now. Let me know if you have any advice/tips.

Hi everyone. Ready to jump on again :) I can’t believe I started these threads back in December last year 😭

In my TWW and would be mid/end of June is positive.

We’ve done it every 2 days so far just continuously. How are people able to BD so much? It’s so hard!

@Roxybabe so many pregnancy announcements at the moment, so hard isn’t it! Im taking folic acid and vitamin D at the moment, I don’t want to take too much and mess up my cycles! Are you tracking ovulation at the moment? Xx

Fingers crossed 😊

@ChloeN I do, I OPK and BBT but thinking to not BBT this month, I find it consuming and a reminder of TTC every morning and when the temp drops back down during TWW and you know you are out is the worst! Maybe I’ll BBT just before and 3 days after ovulation just to make sure I have ovulated then stop.

Hello lovely ladies please can I join. I'm feeling a bit fed up. So this will be my 2nd month ttc I normally have 29-31( last 2 months af started cd 29) day cycle and I'm pretty sure I ovulated on cd 15 as I was checking temp for first time saw a slight rise .5 of a degree so thought that was it Any way did the deed leading up and I promised myself I wasn't going to symptom check boy was I wrong. I normally get really sore boobs after ovulation leading up to af and they haven't hurt which is so weird 6 dpo I felt cramps in lower back and every day after that I've been like a mad woman just feeling for every little thing. I decided to test on 10dpo and I've tested every morning since and nothing. Period should have come today (cd 31)but she hasn't appeared yet I've felt hungrier than normal and having twinges but nothing else really. Today is 14dpo and BFN this morning with IC. Do you think I'm out and I just didn't ovulate this month? I wish I could just unzip myself and look inside. Thanks for reading and good luck to you all

@Roxybabe never tracked bbt before! Think the dip in temp as you mention would just be so gutting 😫

Hi All
Jumping over from the June thread.
CD1 today.
TTC #1 About cycle 6!
let’s hope for lots of summer babies 🥰

Very confused, this is my LH tests so far…. But the bottom one to me looks lighter yet it says it’s higher?

Looks lighter to me too

@xogossipgirlxo sorry the picture isn’t great! This is after quite diluted urine so going to do another tonight after I hold for 4-5 hours I think
