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 @LucyLou0527 can you give some context? Over what period of time were these taken etc?

Hey!

So all of the HCG have been taken since 6 DPO, I am now 8 DPO and the bottom two are from today.
The second off last one was taken and then I took another one 40 minutes later which is why I think it’s lighter

Yipeee! It's very faint but it's there! I did an internet cheapy first which had a whisper of a shadow which I thought I must be imagining but gave in to the urge to do a 'proper' test. Can't wait to tell DH tonight 😁

Congratulations @KangaMumma how many dpo are you x

KangaMumma · 10/07/2023 23:27

@mahii95 I am 10/11 DPO so I was surprised to get a positive after a negative yesterday even though I know it's possible!

This TWW is hard business 😅 I keep symptom spotting but not sure if AF is on the way or something else!

I had a lot of cramping the day after dtd and it was ovulation day according to Flo. I think I'm roughly 6dpo

mahii95 · 11/07/2023 12:18

Hi.. want some advice please... I've woke up today with a BBT temp dip.. was 36.83 yesterday and it's 36.64 today and some dark brown spotting.. very light.. I'm 12 DPO today.. could it be implantation spotting or is it too late AF on her way? I'm just praying for a BBT rise and planning to test at 16dpo which is Sunday if I can wait that long 😬

Congrats @KangaMumma that's so great!!!!

@mahii95 hi how's your BBT today! 🤞🏻

mahii95 · 12/07/2023 20:19

@TT82 AF turned up this morning in full force and temp was low at 36.40 as expected ☹️ here we go again 🙄🥺

TT82 · 12/07/2023 20:22

@mahii95 oh 😟 feel for you! But new cycle - new opportunity for BFP!! ❤️

Hi, first post, lovely to read the supportive messages. Started ttc properly this month. Dtd about 5 times, once in what I think is my fertile window from previous lh tests previous months. My oh doesn't have a high sex drive and I'm the opposite haha so we're working with what suits us both. I'd usually get sore nipples and a positive lh test by today (cd24) but thinking I might get that tomorrow as my cycles have varied from 35 to 37 days long. Will see how the rest of the week goes. Feeling all sorts of emotions. I'm quite tired but trying my best not to think I'm pregnant as heard its common to think you are. Time will tell

mahii95 · 12/07/2023 20:29

That's true @TT82 I've also started drinking this fertility tea with lots of womb warming herbs in it.. take a look on Instagram on @rescue_midwife page. It's created by a midwife and there's lots of 5* reviews where verified customers have conceived in 1-3 months. So I'm hoping for it to work.

Do follow her on Instagram. She's got lots of helpful information.

CB ticked over to 3+ weeks today (I’m 4 weeks 3 days). So officially nothing more I can check until my early reassurance scan on 22nd July… Feeling excited yet scared to yet my hopes up!!

More symptom spotting.... AF is due Wednesday and yesterday and today my boobs have been sore! Usually I get this a couple of days before AF not a week before!

Still holding out to test as I think it will be too soon!

Jlou22 · 13/07/2023 18:05

@Drttc @KangaMumma congrats guys super happy for you 🥰🥰🥰❤️AF for me today so here’s to another month of TTC fingers crossed this one is it and fingers crossed to all you other lovely ladies trying we got this 💪🏻 ❤️

Ovulation strips

I use natural cycles.

The app tells me to do LH test so early on? Why? My cycle conveniently started on 1st July. So we're on day 13 now. Makes it easy to remember for this month 😂😂😂.

So far three negative LH tests and ovulation is predicted for 21st.

I noticed today tho, although negative, the test line is faint as opposed to non existent. Does this mean anything? Surely it does as sometimes the line just isn't there AT ALL?

What are all you're thoughts on LH pee pee sticks? X

Would definitely recommend the Premom/easy@home OPK strips they’re really good to track ovulation.

@CatLadyH thank you xx

theodora2146 · 14/07/2023 11:58
