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 !💙

@lavafield @Lovedatforme @Lou0811 @MrsB902 @Lisa3192 thanks all ☺️ I have had a tiny amount of brown CM this evening, so I’m not sure if that could mean AF is on the way or if it’s implantation spotting. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow! I’ll test again first thing.

@Lisa3192 i can see a line in the first photo!!

@DaisyEM i defo see it!! @Lisa3192 i also see a faint line on yours!!

I caved and did a test which was BFN 😂, must be a dodgy start to AF. I started Seven Sea Trying For a Baby vitamins this month and I looked at some reviews today of people saying they messed up their cycles and made them spot 🥲.

@Marshmallow99 sorry to hear it’s a BFN for you, I’m not even convinced mine is positive at this point 😂 I’ll test again in the morning. With TTC supplements, I’ve always been wary of taking any for that reason. I think unless you have issues such as short LP etc it’s probably best just to take folic acid. That’s all I’m taking at the mo x

Here’s this morning’s test. I was hoping it would be a bit darker, but I am still only 11DPO. I think it is slightly darker than yesterday’s?

It is darker!! Yesterday it was a shadow and today it is a faint line! Think this is it! 💫 Congratulations! Hope it sticks!!

@lavafield thanks ☺️ I’m not getting excited yet, I think I need to see it on a digital to believe it and to get past when AF was due (today/tomorrow). The sorting I had yesterday is making me a bit nervous 😖

@lavafield that should have said spotting

Seems that AF has got me now 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m a bit confused as obviously my lines had gotten darker, but I guess it must have been a chemical 😔

Awh @DaisyEM I'm sorry. The line definitely looked darker on your test from this morning. So disheartening.

@Lovedatforme that's what's throwing me a bit, as I'm thinking surely if it's a chemical and AF came a few hours after the positive test this morning, it wouldn't have been darker (and therefor hgc increasing), but I think I'd be kidding myself to think this wasn't AF.

On the positive side, at least I know I'm ovulating and we timed it right. Fingers crossed for next cycle

@DaisyEM oh no, so sorry to hear! 🥲 sooo unfair! Must be a chemical but then the line indeed got darker even after your spotting started.

I am also 11 dpo today and this is my test! I don’t think I see anything tbh! If there was it would have been darker by now!

@lavafield thanks, it's rubbish and I do feel a bit sad about it but never mind. Onto the next cycle.

@Lisa3192 I still feel like I can see a whisper of something but it's so so faint x

I am getting BFNs on 13DPO and feel like AF is around the corner. Focusing on the next cycle. I was ill this month, had flights, little sleep and my CoQ10 has only been working for less than two months. I read it takes three months to improve egg quality. I also had a mammogram in late April I think X-ray also hit those eggs in development so am focusing on the months from August on for healthier eggs!

@DaisyEM Sorry to read that AF arrived! I've been closely watching your journey as my cycle is a few days after yours. August is just around the corner, another month to start again and as you mentioned at least you got the timings spot on! Sending big hugs

@DaisyEM so sorry to see AF arrived for you 😢, mine has also come full force today so I am out this month. I’ve had a few job interviews this week so think I’ll take a little break if I’m successful with any! Good luck everyone✨ xx

Another BFN with FRER - day 65 of cycle with no AF which is 37 days late…

Ahh I thought I attached the photo!

negative, isn’t it? :(

10dpo Vs 12dpo does anyone see much progression with lines? Going to hold out to the weekend and do a digital but I was worried lines weren't getting darker
Also is it normal for line to still be so faint 12dpo?

Hi all,

off the back of my pregnancy test post being BFN with FRER - day 65 of cycle with no AF which is 37 days late

I have my lab results back. Can any one interpret whether this is good please? No idea where I am in my cycle. Had some very gummy, stretchy CM - clear with a hint of a milky white the past 3 days

thanks x

I got the faintest possible line on the clear blue intro early test!

@lavafield sorry to hear it was a BFN for you, sounds like there’s been a lot going on this month. Hopefully next month will be a lot more straightforward. Yep that’s because it takes 3 months for an egg to mature, which is why nhs say folic acid for 3 months before conception.

@1441x awh thanks so much. Have you tested yet this month?

@Marshmallow99 sorry to hear AF came for you too, best of luck with your job interviews x

AF is just brown and red spotting for me. Mine does always start slow though. I did a test this morning and I’m still getting a line. I would be 12 DPO I think. I’ll post a photo of yesterday’s too, as I don’t think the line has gotten any darker. Tempted to do a FRER 😬 starting to wonder if these are just dud tests!!

Yesterdays test

@DaisyEM Yeap I tested twice, once last weekend and once mid week even though I knew it was too early! AF due tomorrow so I'm just going to wait and see.
You may just be having an implantation bleed or false period. This happened to me with my first, I had a super light period in the March for 3 days and then AF never arrived in April and when I tested I was 5 weeks pregnant
