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 !💙

I am 8 dpo today and did you get a BBT dip? I don't have any symptoms. Normally I don't feel anything during the whole cycle.
I had 1 MC this March and 1 CP this May.

Hey all!

Just to update!

currently day 50 of my cycle, 22 day delay of AF.

haven’t tested since last week, but fed up of symptoms and negatives.

been to my GP who was so lovely and understanding.

I’m 35, TTC for 3rd pregnancy.

came off depo last May, had VERY irregular cycles.

I had a smear test today (I had CGIN and CIN3 removed 2.5 years ago and my cervix cauterised) - always regular with my tests but they wanted to check. To the eye, cervix looked normal and healthy, been referred for pelvis scan and internal scan. Will also have FSH bloods taken.

It is good to check if your body is doing ok. I have found blood tests really helpful especially the female hormone tests. I hope your FSH will come back normal!

Sorry your still unknown to what's going on I can't imagine how frustrating it is for you 😔 hope you get some answer's soon

Definitely see a line there not even a squinter and I have bad eyes 😅
Fingers crossed it darker with fmu to give you a more clear answer. Also maybe had a digital to have it in black and white

Currently 5 days late! I’ve had a lot of CM and feeling very dizzy the past few days! 🤞🏻

Very exciting! What dpo are you? When are you planning to test?

@LucyCL going to give it a few more days - can’t handle another negative!

In that case, I wish your AF never shows up!

i haven’t checked to be honest, but I’ve got everything crossed!

I haven’t checked to be honest but got everything crossed

🤞🏻

Thank you!
I'm a little nervous. Oddly this time around about 8dpo but I've never had implantation so early in my previous pregnancies.

@CSSL7 this is the first time I've had an early BFP in my previous pregnancies I've had to wait until at least the day AF is due if not the day after as my HCG seems slow to rise. (Including the pregnancy that ended with my DS) So I hope that you are similar!
What tests are you using?

@LucyCL
How are you doing? Are you feeling okay? I'm hoping you get a BFP this time too!

Ovulation confuses me 😅
So I had a positive strip test yesterday but this morning it is negative again does that mean I've ovulated already?
Scared I've missed my window as due to older children and work commitments we could DTD yesterday but we did the day before the positive ovulation test and will again tonight I changed my work shift because I thought today was my most fertile day but now I fear we missed it 😔

So confused I know sperm can live for a few days so we should be okay but wanted to give us the best chance this cycle

Aw thank you <3 so happy for you though.

I’m using the wandflo (sp?) cheap Amazon ones. But used a boots early response on Monday and a Superdrug normal one yesterday.

i am having more proper period cramps today though so I think AF is arriving today.

I think my PMS symptoms must have completely changed since my loss.

fml I’m gutted because I had all the symptoms. I am fairly certain these are period cramps though. They feel nothing like flutters.

Oh that's so rubbish you're feeling like that. My symptoms changed a little after my loss too, Im having cramps today too so convinced myself my 'positive' is a water mark!
This process is just so hard mentally, I hope you are doing okay and that it actually will be good news!
I never got any positive from the boots one until far along previously!
When is AF due? I'm due Saturday

I think the best chances are the sex before the peak of ovulation.
That sperm has more chance of getting to the egg that any after ovulation.
hopefully you’ve accidentally timed it perfectly!

dont think is our month.
BFNs. But lots of symptoms. Full of cold for the 2nd time this cycle. Just feel really rubbish.

I've had niggling pains for the last 3 weeks. Today feel more AF pre warning niggles. I think ive convinced myself it's all been AF creeping in rather than the BFP we desperately want.

Mind games!

Thank you! Today is 9 dpo and BBT went back up after yesterday's dip (the secondary estrogen surge) which was expected. I expect it to stay elevated for 2/3 days because my luteal phase usually lasts for 11/12 days. Currently I have no expectations and am just waiting for the outcome with calm.😀

As long as your BBT stays elevated and AF is not here, you are not out yet. I used to have expectations then 2 MCs happened. Nowadays I find it easier to have none so I don't get upset or excited. Fingers crossed for you!

I use BBT and LH strips to track ovulation. Some people have LH surge for 12 hours which is really quick whereas mine lasts for 1 day.
In my case, for this cycle I had sex every day until 6 dpo to cover all possible fertile days. But there is only 25% chance of getting pregnant. If no BFP, I will continue to do it every future cycle until I get it. Fingers crossed!

It's good to hear your positive outlook, I guess at this point we can't control anything anyway.
I've just asked my doctor for a prescription for Progesterone so hoping that will help me. I'm still nervous it might be a chemical again but guess there's no point worrying :)

Same for us. Today the cramps feel more like period cramps and my moods are so irritable and angry today. I think AF is gonna arrive tonight :/.

I’m also due Saturday!!

lots of my friends have told me they didn’t test postive until the day of their period. So I keep telling myself we’re not out til we’re out. Just so impatient and time is going so so so slow.
