TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

[LucyCL]

This is for those who are trying to conceive crossing over from the end of June to July. Sending positive vibes to all of us !💙

Sorry to bombard the post! This is my ovulation test today x

Tbh, last cycle I tested LH when I had a BFP (ended in MC) and it was really low. At 9dpo it was 0.13 which was one of the lowest I had 😂 there’s also a lady on YouTube that does it alongside her pregnancy tests and they remain pretty low…there’s still time!

How long is your LP normally?

im not familiar with these tests… do you have any picture on Premom?

that test looks about a quarter to a positive? But mumsnet really squashes picture quality 😩

@GreenPickle thanks for the reply and so sorry about your MC. I hope you are doing OK. So it doesn't necessarily mean anything at all? I won't be doing it again.

I wouldn’t think so. It probably does turn positive if you have super high levels of HCG.

My LH test got dark last month at CD30 and I ran to the shop to get tests… turns out I was ovulating super late 😂

This is the issue, my cycles are totally out of whack by a LOT!

im cramping again today… can’t work it out. I guess all I can do is sit and wait x

Me too! I totally forgot it was still out there, guess all the pregnant ladies in those countries are immune now and we are still vulnerable? I figured a baby is going to cost a fortune anyway so if we have to waste some money on rebooking flights then so be it 🤣 sometimes got to tempt fate haven’t you!

@GreenPickle thanks for the video link, it's reassured me now I still have a chance this month! Xx

Well I am baffled, been getting niggly AF type cramps all day but only 2dpo, so too early for implantation cramps and AF cramps unless my cycle has went crazy and I am having a ridiculously short LP 🥹 maybe the opks strips are wrong, I took one today and it was still quite high, maybe 0.6 (baseline usually 0.-0.2) will take one later as that was early morning.

Hi everyone! I had some spotting yesterday at 11 dpo, but I was still clinging on for dear life to the tiniest glimmer of hope... Today - boom! AF has arrived with a vengeance.

Sending best wishes everyone still waiting, I'm hoping to see some BFPs for you all when I'm back in a fortnight😅

Ah sorry to hear that @PoppyRad - wishing you all the best next cycle xx

8dpo and doing mad symptom spotting over here.
Tender breasts, headache, feeling a bit hot and (very small amounts) white creamy cm.
Pretty sure I have had all of these before at this time in the cycle, but won't stop me looking into this will it!
Think I am going to test 11dpo (Thurs), especially if I keep up the symptom spotting.

I'm 3 or 4 DPO I'm never 100% sure how to count it. I use cm to track mine and my cycle is pretty regular.
We are on cycle 10 of TTC for our 2nd baby but had a MC at the end of May so this is my first actual cycle since then and I'm hoping for a BFP as we DTD a lot!
I have a short cycle (24 days) so usually ovulate on day 9 or 10!
How is everyone feeling, I start off the TWW so confident and happy!

Good luck, I really hope you get your BFP. I'm terrible for symptom spotting too! It's so hard when so many I get before AF arrives too!

Thank you, we suspect that my DH might have some fertility issues due to a procedure he had as a child. We're on the waiting list (4 months) for sperm analysis, so I try not to get my hopes up too much each cycle because I assume we have a lower chance of success. But at this point I always read in to things. It's a bit like waiting for Christmas every 4 weeks.

How long have you been trying and is this for your first?

I am 8dpo I think, zero symptoms and definitely don't 'feel' pregnant. Not going to test until the weekend at the very earliest, but definitely not feeling hopeful.

Hi all would love to join if possible!

Second month TTC baby number 4.
Can't even believe I'm saying those words!

Thought I was 1DPO after a peak but OPKs still high so wondering if failed and attempting again!

Ok so, having cramping and feels like I’m leaking (I’m not) , no spotting at all, 14 days late for AF, day 41 of cycle, my breasts as the evening has gone on, have got incredibly tender/heavy, totally feel like AF is coming but I shall see by the morning. Had bad cramping and sickness over the weekend but negative test.
the cramping is very much ‘down below’ and feels like a pulling sensation!

I'd love to join please 👋🏻 currently CD20 TTC #2.. had a chemical last month so cycles a bit all over and pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet. This is from this morning, I've never ever had a positive ovulation test so I'm not sure if this one is or not?

Sounds like your preg

It is not. Maybe halfway there. It is still a negative. You might be close to ovulation. Do you also use BBT?

Hello,

Wishing everyone a successful month. I’m wondering if anyone could give me advice/reassurance.

we have been TTC for 16 months now. My blood test, swabs have all come back normal. I have an ultra scan this week and my partner has semen analysis next. I’m really feeling frustrated!

I’m 28, trying for my first and have always had regular cycles.

To be honest no I don't, I did last month but just haven't this month as mornings are quite hectic 😅 I don't feel like I have ovulated but the wait is doing my head in 😂 but with DD1 I think, looking at the dates, I must've ovulated around CD30 so could be a way to go yet

@watermelonsoda that makes sense. I struggle to do it some mornings so it’s likely not reliable. My ds woke up crying at 6am and wouldn’t go back to sleep, I had gone to the toilet at 5:30am and I usually take the temp around 6:30am so that morning was off.

I have a high lh test so I think I might get a peak later and ovulate tomorrow. I say all this and we haven’t actually DTD in the fertile window yet! So we need to try tonight or tomorrow and just hope for the best.

@Jee95 its good that you have started the ball rolling on tests. I have a few questions if that’s ok?

Do you measure ovulation using lh tests or bbt? Not just using an app for prediction. I ask this because some people could have a shorter luteal phase for example and miss the fertile window. Also even though the whole fertile window can count the percentile decreases the further away from ovulation, I can’t remember the odds though but it goes from 20-30% on (ovulation day/just before) to eg 10% 3-4 days before. I’m being vague here because I don’t remember the actual percentage sorry.
