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 can I join 🙂 not officially in the new cycle yet but I'm 13dpo and still bfn. AF due tomorrow or Thursday. I've been getting really bad cramps which is what I usually get before AF so I'm assuming definitely out this month.
Hope everyone gets their bfp in July 🤞🏼

Hi ladies. I’m ttc baby #2.

@123456789sw I’ve been using the easy@home opk sticks and app. I found them easier than CB. Also bought some pre-seed for this cycle.

What didn't you like about the CB?

I'm frustrated as I've got my 6th day of flashing smiley (previously only had ~2 days) and it's CD17 - usually have a ~27 day cycle so thinking somethings up this month - maybe related to a rubbish cold I've had for 2 weeks 🤷‍♀️

Hey everyone! Trying to conceive baby no.1 after a miscarriage in March. Cycle day 1.

Not holding out much hope this month as I'm away with work the week my app says is my most fertile 🙄 but you never know.

Hello! Cycle 4 for us, currently CD2 xx

@123456789sw last cycle I had a cold and it delayed my ovulation by a couple days. I still managed to get a very positive opk just came a little late. Hopefully it's the same for you.

@123456789sw with my last pregnancy I never got a solid smiley but was pregnant that month (with my now 3 year old!) so wouldn’t worry too much about the sticks as they’re not a perfect predictor :)

Good luck @naggy095!

Hi all
I’ve just got CB advanced for this month. Never seem to get a peak on the cheap ones I was using so partly interested to see if I’m actually ovulating or not. Now 43 😬

@Isitthathardtobekind i used the CB monitor when I fell pregnant with my DD the first month of using..used OPKs for 2 months before that with no joy but could also just be a coincidence 🤷🏼‍♀️using opks this month but I don’t seem to be finding my peak either so will prob switch to CB next cycle if I don’t fall pregnant but fingers crossed we don’t need to lol

Thanks 😊 now day 7 of flashing - it's so annoying! I should really stop bothering but I'm just intrigued to see if I get it!
Are you TTC #2? Would You use them this time?

Yes TTC 2, cycle 2. I’ve bought some for this cycle and will start using them tomorrow. However I’m also just going to DTD every day between CD8 (tomorrow) and CD16 as regardless of the OPKs I think this gives me the best chance (also accepting there is an element of luck in this!!) I was very lucky to get pregnant first cycle last time and from memory DTD CD 9, 12 and 16.

I use CB digital - I always start testing on CD7 but don't normally OV until at least CD16 so I always have quite s few high readings before getting my peak. Xx

Hi everyone!
We are heading into cycle 2 of TTC #1 💕
Not doing anything at the moment like OPKs, just using Flo really and seeing how that goes for a few months.
Fingers crossed for us all for BFPs in July!

Best of luck for the month ahead x

10dpo this morning and got this… can’t believe it!

CD12 for me ovulation due Thursday but I've got some cheap LH tests so will test this week to see if I can find a peak. Second month trying for baby 1 following a mc in November 22.

Good luck everyone for July 🤞🏼

Congratulations 🥳

@Drttc Congratulations! Xx

Can I join if possible please? Now technically on 3rd month of TTC for #2. BFN on the first month, and then got a yeast infection during my fertile window on the second month 🙃so that one was a right off as we couldn't DTD.

We have a 1.5 year old, who took 3 cycles to fall pregnant with, so hoping this will be our month!

On CD2 today so just got to wait for AF to finish up in a day or two and then can start tracking!

@Drttc Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉 How exciting

Hi

Can I join please

I’m TTC I’m 31 and fat 🙈I’ve been trying for a few months but this is 1st cycle of doing ovulation tests- did the clear blue ovulation tests and DTD on the high and peak fertile days, I’ve now been spotting for a day and 1/2. Ovulation test was peak on Friday been spotting since yesterday ( Sunday) Was wondering if anyone has experienced post/ ovulation spotting and then got a positive pregnancy test or know of anyone who has - is it likely I’m not pregnant? Too early to test atm but curious to know if anyone has experienced this and had a positive outcome ?
Not telling family or friends we a TTC so will be nice to be part of a community of others to talk to around it Thanks 😊

Hi everyone! Just catching up - welcome to everyone new and huge congrats @Drttc so lovely to see the first of (hopefully many) the BFPs!!

@Jlou22 i think it’s normal to spot after ovulation and if that is normal for you then fine etc. I wouldn’t read too much into it meaning anything re whether you’re pregnant, implantation happens 8 or so days after conception so until then k think many people continue to display normal symptoms (eg spotting if that normal for you!)0

My update - CD11, flashing smiley on OPK since CD9. Trying to DTD every other night regardless of what OPKs say but using them out of interest :)
