June 2023 TTC Thread

[BB2023]

Welcome to June ladies. Adding this thread here to share our June journeys.
Wishing you lots of luck for the month ahead. 🤞🤞🤞

@Kellyaust @mommabear64 I'm also feeling absolutely exhausted and cranky with everyone (for reasons that are totally irrational, like I was secretly annoyed at my MIL for being too complimentary to my daughter - I actually love my MIL!!) so taking that as a another preg symptom because when I was pregnant with my daughter the first symptom was being irrationally annoyed at everyone around - I was angry at my husband for getting up to go to work when I wanted a lie in.

In reality I'm probably too warm

Hi everyone.

I'm new here, so thought I'd say hello!

I just turned 32, have been TTC since May last year. I've been diagnosed with unexplained infertility and have had 2 failed IUIs, with my final one IUI coming up next week. After that, I'm on the waitlist for IVF.

Despite this, I'm still hopeful it could happen without assistance for me as it's only been 1 year of TTC. My treatment progressed faster than I expected, and as there are no clear 'blockers', I'm sticking around here as well as the Infertility threads.

I live in Copenhagen and I'm TTC baby number 1. Looking forward to reading about all your journeys!

8dpo today and got a negative test... (bah humbug). Going to avoid testing again for at least a day or two. My BBT chart has started to look triphasic, which gives me some hope... (I really wish I could wait until I miss a period to test but I'm so, so impatient) 😬

I only have about 4 days until AF is supposed to be here (11dpo today) but it still feels so far! It was negative on an easy@home on 9dpo, but with the cramps it has felt like it's going to come. Last AF I had no symptoms leading up to it so thinking it might be extra PMS this month because none last time 🙄

Ordered some more tests which I'm picking up from Boots tomorrow. I'll be 12DPO tomorrow and then AF is due on Tuesday so should know either way soon x

Well my AF seems to have arrived 1 week early!! 😪 Had blood 5 mins after I took this test... I'm 8DPO...looks like frer have indents too...

@Kellyaust that line looks too pink to be an indent although apparently FRER are terrible for indents now (I've had a few myself) could the blood be implantation or are you cramping like AF too?

So sorry @Kellyaust :( excuse my ignorance but what’s an indent?

12dpo today... BFN this morning on cheap test 😫, uterus area still feels sensitive and cramps have slowed but still mildly there. Feeling like AF will strike at any moment as I thought I'd have something by now 😪 will just wait a few days I guess.

@CinderRosie I posted it on another thread and everyone said there's no colour to it... Its really hard for me to tell with the pains I would say AF but this is my first cycle since my miscarriage in early may so I've had constant pain since I ovulated 🤦‍♀️ I've never experienced implantation bleeding before so I've no clue about that either... No more blood for now so guess I'll have to just wait it out... My last scan at the hospital 1 week ago showed I still have some clots in my uterus so it's all very confusing.... Its either AF has come a week early... Or those clots are coming loose due to implantation...

@Laura7899 it's when you get a false positive result... Some dodgy tests show an indent line when used so you think it's a faint positive then turns out it's not it's just that the indent line is showing when it's shouldn't be

12 DPO and a BFN for me...even though I've got sore boobs, am super tired and had crazy dreams last night...all signs for me in a previous pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

@Kellyaust I see, I really hope you get a positive in a couple of days maybe wait and test again I hope the bleeding stops too. It’s all such a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m holding off on testing until the day after my period is due (this day week) if it doesn’t arrive before - I’ve been burnt too many times in the past

9 dpo and chart is still consistently starting to be triphasic... I think I might be getting a bit too invested/getting my hopes up... 🤔

I'm thinking of getting a box of cheap strip tests rather than pay loads for first response/branded etc.!

I'm wondering whether they're all pretty much the same or whether some are better than others (fewer indent lines etc.)?

Babyplan?
Easy@Home?
Wondfo?

Can anyone recommend anything (available on Amazon)?

I'm in a similar position. 12DPO today, sore boobs. Usually get sore boobs after OV but not normally before AF. Grabbing some tests today so will test tomorrow x

13dpo, I was BFN yesterday so I'm trying to hold off until Thursday now and see if AF arrives in the meantime. She's due Wednesday which would be a 26 day cycle but my last cycle was 24 days so tbh she could arrive any time from now.

I have sore boobs too! It was only sore nipples from 8DPO until yesterday and then since yesterday my whole right boob has joined in the pain 🤣
My body this cycle 🙈 I swear it's never done this much weird shit and I'm sure it's just to mess with me as this is first cycle trying 🤣
I also have terrible back pain, I've had flares of heartburn and I have more CM than usual.

Keep alternating between positive vibes only and just wishing AF would get on with it 😂

I hope you don't mind me joining onto the chat.
I got a faint positive test last night and ran out to get a clearblue one this morning and looks like it was a true positive!
We've been TTC for about 10months now with our second baby.
But suddenly it just feels crazy really that we might be having a second now.

Who is still waiting this month to test?

Congratulations! Xx

It's so difficult when it gets to 12/13 DPO because we just want to know either way by then. Like if AF is coming can it just start already 🤣🤣

@BB2023 yeah because mostly everyon else had positives at 9/10dpo 😂
Who knows, maybe we'll be those women who get late BFPs though!

It's so frustrating, isn't it 🤣

With my first pregnancy I only got a positive result after my period was due (and I was so convinced that the cramps I before my positive test were my period coming that I went for a hot bath with a big glass of wine 🙄).

Second pregnancy, I tested at 8 dpo in a 'what have I got to lose' moment on Christmas day 2020 because our family Christmas had been cancelled and I thought it would be lovely news to cheer us up if I was pregnant... and I was!

This time around I'm trying to be patient (already tested at 8 dpo yesterday and will try again tomorrow at 10 dpo), but I know the chances are that it'll be a late positive (or not at all...)!

Haha maybe! I just tested and it was BFN - AF due tomorrow x

@Poppins2016 with your first did you finally test positive the day of your missed AF or after? Fingers crossed you get a BFP when you test again 🤞

@BB2023 fingers crossed AF stays away for both of us 🤞

Hello! Hope it’s ok if I join :-) I’m currently on 3dpo (I think) on cycle 1 ttc DC3.

Feels very odd being back here - we had a terrible time ttc DC1 that led to an intense journey within the ttc world. I made such fantastic friends back in 2016 when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages (4 in row). Can’t quite believe I’m here saying ‘hello’ again, but I love the ttc community :-)

Hello and welcome! Wishing you lots of luck on your TTC journey x
