10dpo and BFN so moving my positive thoughts to the next cycle!

I'll be testing around the 1st week July

Anyone with me and want to go through this cycle together?

Hi, I didn’t track this cycle but I’m fairly certain we also didn’t dtd around ovulation time (going by cm) due to both being Ill one after the other. I now also have some typical signs post ovulation such as cramping. I think AF is due mid June, so will be testing likely around mid July. This is ttc#2 for us.

Hi 👋
Do you think you'll track this month around?

This is #2 for us too (take 2 after MMC in Jan).

How long have you been trying?

Hi, I'll be testing last week of June I think (CD17 now) so I'm straddling the June and July threads at the minute. Cycle 1 TTC baby no2, DS is 21m actual now so feel ready. I wasn't going to track this cycle and just go @with the flow and see what happens since it's early days of trying (but not trying) but I caved and tested yesterday and my OPK was low. Did it again today to hopefully see levels rise and it looks peak! DS has chicken pox so me and my partner are both run down so need to subtly convince him to DTD tonight. He doesn't want to know when I'm ovulating as it put too much pressure on him to perform so hoping we can time it right. Good luck ladies!

It's so hard not to track and get obsessed isn't it!
I think I have a POAS obsession!

It's also so much harder when you already have a child - got to time it around bed times etc!

@spamOFtheDAY exactly that, especially when DS has chicken pox so is a bit unsettled at night at the minute. Really don't want to miss our window though because then I know I'll have ages to wait before we can try again and I'm very impatient 😅

Oh no sorry for your loss. I had a mmc before conceiving ds.

This is only cycle 1. Initially the plan was to stop the mini pill and then try in September after regulating for a few cycles but then thought why wait? I will only think about it anyway.

I have lots of lh tests left and the thermometer from ttc ds so I might go back to tracking. At least to know we covered the window because my cycles are on the slightly longer side.

Yes please, if I can! AF due 19th June but I'm going to try and leave it until after 26th so not to get hopes up.

Our first proper cycle. We started trying last month but when my period was already overdue by a week, think it was a taking folic acid again that delayed it.

Quite nervous as I've just been told I have polycystic ovaries but no PCOS and had a couple of period irregularities this year when docs were changing my thyroid medicine, so even outside of the positive I'm hoping for, I'd just like to know everything is okay with my fertility 🙏🏻

Ah sorry to hear that 😞

Sorry! I joined your last thread Testing June 2024 and after I finished my period I was looking for the Testing July 2024 thread. But I didn't find yours so I created one a few days after you.😂However I will be joining this one too. TTC is a lonely journey so it is good to join others who are also in the same cycle. Good luck to all of us! Will be testing in early July

@LucyCL 😂 the more groups the merrier I think! I did start this a long time ago as I already knew I was out!
Good luck!

I’m only on cd9 and I usually don’t ovulate until cd18-20 so I still have a while to go.

LucyCL · 28/06/2024 09:49

I know this question might sound silly however I am very curious! When you are close to ovulation, do you usually get a BBT dip or LH surge first?

Sorry I don't BBT check so don't know much about this 😕
From what I've seen you look out for a change just after ovulation, so would expect the LH surge first...?

I am about to get the peak soon so I will find it out hopefully. This is just to satisfy my curiosity. 😅

8DPO and woke up with cramps and sore boobs, which isn't normal for me, but I know it could just be normal symptoms of progesterone.
Took a test and BFN 😞
Wish I hadn't bought a box of cheapies!!

As long as AF is not here, you are still in the game. : )

LucyCL · 03/07/2024 15:47

Out of curiosity, for those who use BBT and LH strips to track, do you treat the day when you get the surge and the BBT dip as the O day? Or the day after? I had a BBT dip and LH surge on the same day.

As I sit here with a right face on, I'm the exact same 😢 11DPO and nothing. Really really thought it was the month.

Definitely lost any type of hope as naturally Facebook feed is full of announcements and first family holidays!

Sending a big hug over your way x

@mountainhighhh ah sorry you're in the same place.
But each month that passes is is a month closer to our time 🤞

I know - SO many announcements recently 😞

OP posts:
LucyCL · 03/07/2024 20:45

@spamOFtheDAY @mountainhighhh I also have seen lots of facebook ads about pregnancy and fertility things. Also 2 of my friends have been posting pictures of their one year old babies, 1 just gave birth to a baby boy and 1 just announced that they were pregnant with baby 2.
How long have you been trying to conceive if you don't mind me asking? I have started seriously since this Jan and had 2 MCs already. Currently I am on 1/2 dpo and had a CP last cycle. I hope eventually we will get our BFPs.
