TTC June 2024 ✨♥️

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in June 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of May to June ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

It does look like AF is still here. That happened to me when I started to bleed after CP. I know it is different from a normal period... I bled heavily for 3 days then nothing for 1 day and started spotting again for 3 days. Does your BBT drop again?

I was really heavy the first 2 days which is so unlike me. Just figured that was because I was almost 2 weeks late but then much lighter day 3 only barely spotting day 4 nothing day 5 and nothing again today until now went to the loo before bed. I've only got 1 bbt recording as I only started properly today. So unsure it was 37.1 this morning but no idea how that is for me.

Guess I'll just wait to stop bleeding then go back to ovulation tests to see where I am at

I see. Yes, you are still having your period. However keep measuring BBT during the period because this is your baseline BBT which will come in handy.

I don't know what's going on had a spike this morning does this mean I'm about to ovulate? Bleeding stopped as quick as it started last night

Thanks @LucyCL that's so helpful! I've downloaded the premom app and started OPK testing yesterday. I'm going to order a thermometer too for BBT. Do you just take your temperature very first thing?

Ovulation before CD10 is possible but really really early. According to my experience it could just be a LH surge. Keep testing and BD, just in case.

I am glad to hear it! Yes, I take BBT before I get out of the bed. Make sure you have at least 5+ hours of uninterrupted sleep ensure the accuracy.

5 hours of uninterrupted sleep? What's that lol. My 4 year old hasn't let me sleep since he was a born. Does this effect my bbt accuracy? I recorded bbt and had only been back to sleep about an hour before he'd woken me up last?

Minimum 3 hours. Here is what I found online: As a reminder, movement (sitting up/getting out of bed), interrupted sleep, drinking water, and being awake before measuring will affect your temperature. You need to measure while lying down and as soon as you wake up; otherwise, the temperature will be affected by not measuring right away.

In your case, you can buy an apple watch to get your wrist temperature. You need 5 nights of sleep to get the baseline. The deviation will tell you if your BBT is increasing or not.

Could be! Mine was half way there on day 8 and I got a peak on day 9. My BFP came 9 days later. Keep testing and BD if you can just in case!

Hello everyone! Hope we all get what we dream of this summer. Good luck on the next cycle to the ones who had AF and fingers crossed to the ones who are still in the TWW. I have very good feelings about this summer for us all 🌞🧚🤰

I did a test today at 8DPO and I could see a shadow there straight away and it’s dried as a line. I’m so so scared it’s a evap and I will be crushed.

Hi, does anyone know whether you can use your cm or cervix position to predict if pregnant before the missed period?

I've looked into this a lot and basically no - it's really unreliable. Your cervix will rise up if you're pregnant but it might not happen before your missed period. I think CM is even less reliable because you can have lots before your period and you also should get a fair bit if you're pregnant (although I didn't!). I guess the only thing is if you monitor it regularly on yourself, you might one month notice that it feels different and then that could be a clue that you're pregnant.

That is well said. I feel my cervix position just to get an idea about how low/high/average it can be. I had lots of watery CM before AF last cycle then AF arrived. OPKs, BBT, RHR and wrist temperature are more precise.

It sounds very promising! Keep us posted! x

hmmm. I would think that its just AF continuing. I would see how long the bleeding last for and as soon as its over I would start testing for ovulation and that should give you an idea of where you are in your cycle by how quickly you ovulate.

I will say that I have never had an irregular cycle but as soon as we started trying a few months ago, everything went haywire.

Just saw this after I posted a response to your previous post. Take a pregnancy test just to make sure your test isn't picking up HCG. I actually had what I thought was a period and then positive ovulation the day after my period and it turned out I was pregnant and had had a bleed and not a period.

@LucyCL thanks again for all your help! I saw that you're turning 35 in November - me too. I'm also TTC #1. This is my first cycle, though, so I don't know much about what my body is doing, and I do have PCOS. I don't feel super optimistic about my chances tbh, but I can only try! Sorry to hear it's not been straightforward for you, but you're not alone x

Ahhhh 7dpo and struggling waiting!!! I want to test so bad but not had any symptoms at all! I now that can happen but keep watching for any small change!

I’m also 7dpo, and fortunately I’m away from home until Sunday now so makes it easier to wait! I’ve also been symptom spotting, but as I’m so recently off hormonal contraception, I don’t even have baseline of what to expect!

To be honest, I was really ignorant when I got my first BFP this Jan and I thought that was it. So, I was very naive. I could have protected the first pregnancy if I didn't run really fast until I was out of breath for 6 mins (MC happened at the same night). I should not look back and blame myself because it is not healthy. Then I had my 2nd BFP, I was so naive once again. I thought that was it but I wasn't aware of the existence of CP. Now I should not look back either and feel bad about it. Of course, I was lost and felt like being trapped in limbo during the first month after each MC. But I have decided to be cautiously hopeful and never look back. This is where I am now.
I am aware of PCOS and I know there are supplements which can help to balance the hormones and regulate the ovulation.
When I was diagnosed with PCOS after my 1st MC at the beginning of March, I started to take CoQ10, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) , vitamin D, vitamin D, vitamin E, Magnesium, Zinc and Myo-Inositol Chromium & Folate Blend. Then I did the transvaginal ultrasound at the end of the same month and was told that my right ovary contained eight follicles so I didn't have PCOS.
If you have any question of tracking your ovulation, please let me know. Because of MCs, my hormone levels and ovulation were affected so I have bought a lot of technologies to figure out what my body is doing. 😅

CD12 here and still no sign of ovulation, I’ve been doing OPK tests morning and afternoon and they’re completely white. Not even a little bit of LH 😔 just going to keep testing but really hoping I do ovulate this month.

There is always LH in your body unless your urine is diluted?

I think I’m drinking too much water (I do drink loads usually)! I’ve thrown out the OPKs I was doing too and ordered a better brand… I thought the same about the LH I wasn’t 100% though so thank you. Sounds like the readings are wrong 😂
