July 2023 TCC thread

[AnonyHB]

Hi all,

I am out for this month on my first cycle TTC baby number 2. Have a 3 year old already and I am approaching 35years old. June was a relaxed TTC month but determined to use OPKS and be a bit more strategic this month. Looking forward to tracking our progress together this month - feel free to introduce yourself below!

Hi @AnonyHB ! I’m 36, and TTC my second as well! I’m technically not out for June yet, but this was also my first cycle. I did get a positive OPK, but not confirmed by BBT and I’m still BFing my first, so ovulation is not 100% guaranteed. I also don’t know what my luteal phase is quite doing as I’ve only had my periods back for 3 months due to BFing. So thought I’d hop on as it’s likely this isn’t my month!

Hope you’re doing okay ☺️

Hi, may I join in :)

Ttc number 3, I am 41...so had 4 chemical pregnancies last 12 months (last cycle too 😔) this will be my last cycle before IVF in August

Welcome @ajayelbee and @TT82, hopefully July will be our lucky month. Sorry to hear about your chemicals @TT82, must be very disappointing and frustrating!

Sorry to hear your struggles . Sounds like it's been a really tough year for you x

I'm TTC number2. 38 years old.
Been off pill for over a year now, but started monitoring more closely with OPKs more recently.
Getting tired of all the plotting and planning DTD etc now

Hi could i join please? TTC#2 and got my peak today 😊

Ooh can I join too? Ttc #2. First cycle last month but no luck unfortunately, so trying again this month! Due to ovulate next week at some point but doing OPKs to find out exactly when.

Good luck everybody ☺️

Welcome @123456789sw @mummytom90 @pinkandredflowers! I totally feel you with the planning thing @123456789sw, I promised myself I would be relaxed about it all but here I am after only 1 cycle TTC, setting up threads and mass ordering OPKs 🙄🙄 I got pregnant first cycle with my DD and I’ve always been scared since then that I would pay the price in future. Stupid mentality but the way my brain works, so feel I won’t be lucky again. Anyway, AF arrived today so I’m on countdown to OV and thinking of creative ways to subtly #notsubtly get my DH to DTD every other day from CD8 onwards….. tips welcome 😂

Hi ladies I’m Ttc our first baby in my
30’s -
thought I was on track last month but then AF arrived a couple of days late. Keeping everything crossed for this month and for all of you xx

Welcome @StayingPerky! CD2 for me, where is everyone else up to?

Hi all not 100% out for june yet but my cycles are all over the place since coming off the pill i think im 11 dpo so fingers crossed

CD25 and 8DPO for me today! Trying to hold off testing until at least 11DPO as I don’t have any sensitive/ early tests in and don’t want to waste anymore money buy more.

I was also going to try and be chill about it, but I think I’ll go back to temping next cycle just to confirm ovulation!

What DPO do you all start testing? Or do you manage to wait until AF is due!?

@AnonyHB I’m CD5 today, so similar to
you.

@ajayelbee I tell
myself I will wait till AF is due but inevitably end up testing a good few days before and being disappointed haha

Hi ladies 🥰 joining this month for baby #2. I’m 30 with a 15month DD. Had a
Had a MC in May and just finished my first period since. Told myself I would be chilled and see how we get on, enjoy the summer etc but who am I kidding😂😅
CD10 today and the POAS has started with the OPks lol! Good luck this month everyone 💖✨

Hi everyone. Nice to see a few more people on the group! @ajayelbee i tell myself I won’t test until AF as well but starting caving at 7 DPO. Really going to try to hold off to 11 DPO this month for my purse and sanity! Good luck @Pittiemama and @ajayelbee for this month!

Sorry to hear about your MMC @Twinkles18, hoping July is your lucky month x

It’s so hard to wait isn’t it!

I got a faint line on an internet cheapy yesterday morning; and again today. They look exactly the same, but I know it takes 48 hours for HCG to double so fingers crossed they get darker over the next few days instead of fading away.

Good luck @Pittiemama and anyone else who still has to test this month, and I wish everyone a lucky July full of BFP’s!

Hey everyone 👋

CD#1 of cycle 6. AF arrived today, early and whilst on holiday. Bummer!!

I knew we'd missed out last month as DP was away and I unexpectedly ovulated really early and I've only had a 24 day cycle.

Sending good wishes to everyone for July 🥰

@AnonyHB af due either today or tomorrow i came off the pill and had a 34 day cycle and two 25 day cycles so still uncertain

Hello! Just said ‘hello’ on the June ttc thread but have realised as I’m 3dpo that the July thread might make sense!

This is cycle 1 of ttc DC3 - I’m 36 (not far off 37) and have a history of miscarriages. Good luck to everyone over the tww!

Can I please join? Period arrived today 2 WEEKS LATE!!!!! Was adamant I was pregnant and now this, my emotions are all over the shop.
TTC#2
Entering cycle 3 in July 💜

Hi all 😊 I'm ttc following a mc at 11w3 end of April, then a chemical the next cycle. No luck last month, I was very ill with quinsy which put a stop to trying. So I'm trying to feel positive for July but very anxious!

Anyone using OPKs?
I've been using the CB advanced and wondering whether it's getting me too stressed out and if just frequent DTD would be better....?

Today CD 15 with flashing smileys since CD 13
But have short cycles ~27days 🤷‍♀️

Hi everyone 36 year old c section mummy to 3 wonderful boys 15,12,9 started ttc baby 4 in oct had an early loss in march had my hopes up last 2 cycles as they say you are more fertile after loss but af arrived 2 days ago so here we go again lots of sticky baby dust and luck to you all

Can I join?? Nice to read about you all. I'm TCC #2 on my 6th cycle and nearing in on 35 as well. I have a 1.5 year old who took us 13 months to conceive, so hoping this time around doesn't last as long but I also know now that just because it's taking a bit doesn't mean it won't happen. I loved having a discussion group on here last time and I think it kept me together all those months so glad to find another.
