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 !💙

@1441x I’ll try a FRER as soon as I can slip away. Think that should give me my answer 🤞🏼 I didn’t have any implantation bleeding with my son, but I did have bleeding from 9 weeks that went on through my pregnancy due to a polyp 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well my FRER is positive, I’m honestly so confused! I’m trying a digital now too 😬

@DaisyEM the tests are clearly positive! So there is a chance! I guess there is only way to find out - to see if AF won't hit in full and if lines get darker in coming days. Hope you are keeping patient! X

I feel like I can’t get excited because of the bleeding! It was just brown and red spotting though. I had two glasses of wine last night thinking I was out

Congrats @Lisa3192!

i’m sorry @DaisyEM that you have had an unsettling couple of days. It’s all such a torturous waiting game isn’t it! I’m glad that you are seeing the positives though and will keep you in my thoughts.

hi @Lou0811 i don’t know much about FSH levels, it does look on the low side but depends on where you are in your cycle which obviously you don’t know as this one has been very unusual! Will the GP be giving you a call?

I also used tampons yesterday and last night which I know you’re not supposed to in pregnancy, so that plus the wine is worrying me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Don't worry about the wine! My friends a midwife and within the first 2 weeks it really doesn't effect or matter so please don't work yourself up with that!

I had my hormones tested last month and my FSH level was low but they didn't seem in a rush or bothered to do anything about it until assessed at fertility appointment properly but also said it's only slightly under and nothing too much to worry about so I think you'll be okay :)

What point of your cycle were you tested?

Hi darling,

oh that’s good to know - thank you!

we have no idea where I am in my cycle as I’m currently day 66 and on a 38 day delay for AF!

Hi guys, so I am 12 dpo today and these are my fmu tests. So if there is a line on the easy at home. Why is it not getting any darker?

@CoolSummer89 thank you, it’s horrible not knowing what’s going on. I guess I’ll just have to wait a few days and see if my tests are getting darker. I’ve got bright red blood this morning but still not a huge amount. And part of me thinks if it were a chemical surely my lines would be getting fainter given that this is day two of bleeding. I just don’t know what to think really

@mountainhighhh thanks, it’s done now so not much I can do but will obviously not drink from here on!

Been silently reading your story - I'm so sorry that happened to you. I suffered a MMC in December last year, went to the hospital they said everything is okay, next day I went to Window to the Womb and they found a little flickering heartbeat - said everything was okay, but I just knew something was wrong. Went back to the hospital and they couldn't find the heartbeat anymore and baby was measuring smaller than it was the week before. told me to prepare for the worst. The worst happened. Ttc again now after that loss but nothing seems to be happening. Took us nearly two years to conceive and it resulted in a loss. I don't have much hope

You could have ovulated late maybe? Feel like I see one on the cheapie but not the CB

@DaisyEM Sorry didn't see that you had done a digital, I think we must have posted at exactly the same time.

The good and the bad news is that it is out of your hands. The bleeding may be nothing to worry about, or it may be the start of a chemical. There is nothing you can do that will change the outcome, however looking after yourself and focusing on good things will hopefully make this unsettling time a ton better.

I can already tell that you are doing a lot of this already, so probably don't need me to tell you! You have already been focusing on the positives (you're ovulating and fertile!), the body performs amazing quality control at this point, so if something is not quite right with the embryo it is protecting you from heartbreak later down the line.

We'll be here for you whenever you need 💕

@CoolSummer89 thanks so much for your lovely kid message 🥰 you’re totally right, there’s nothing I can do now so I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m feeling more positive now and accepting it may just be a chemical x

@CoolSummer89 that should have said ‘kind’ message, I really should double check before I hit post 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone - feels like I'm asking such a silly question
But last night (1 day before period was due) I had a little blood in my knickers so checked cervix etc and no period. Was due on today, still no period. If that was implantation last night that would've been about 11-12dpo. Due period today and tested and still nothing. How long does it take to be able to detect hCG in tests? Or shall I just take it that my period is just late and not to get excited. Below are attached photos of tests taken today (day of period). Im not holding out much hope this cycle.

So sorry @Lisa3192 but I’m not sure I can see a line on either x

@ttcjourney20001 I read it can take 3-4 days after implantation for hgc to build up enough to be detectable by tests. I have heard of some women not getting their BFP until a fair while after af was due. Have you had any more bleeding since? I’m over here with the opposite issue, bleeding with a BFP!

10dpo and a bfn, I know you're still in to af appears but with my 2 children and previous chemicals I've always had a line at 10dpo on a frer. Feeling exhausted 😩

@Kiwiburgh so sorry to hear it’s a BFN for you. I get where you’re coming from as I had a positive with my son at 9DPO and 10DPO with this current pregnancy (if I can even say that), but there is of course a possibility of implanting a day or two later than previous pregnancies and so a BFP wouldn’t be for a few more days.

Do you mind me asking you what happened with your chemicals? I had a positive test yesterday at 10DPO, but then brown spotting. This morning I got a positive on a digital and FRER and spotting had stopped, but then a few hours later pink/red spotting started. It’s only when I wipe so isn’t like AF but it’s still going now and I’m not really sure what to expect 😔

@DaisyEM Thanks for the reassuring words :)
Sorry to hear your in limbo land, it's truly stressful.
Both chemicals were similar, I'm a serial tester so I could see my lines weren't progressing enough. With the first I started having light pink blood when I wiped and then Af appeared. The second was similar but no pink blood, just straight to AF.

I've attatched a picture of what my chemical looked like.
I also fo a "pregnant" on the digital CB early detect ( not the weeks indicator one)

I had a CP this May and it was not good for my mental health for the first two cycles. I am currently on CD13 of the third cycle after CP and I am back to my normal self again.
@DaisyEM I really hope that it is not a chemical pregnancy for you!
@Kiwiburgh I hope you will get a BFP this cycle. Baby dust to you!

I am sorry for your 2 chemicals! Mine started to get dark until 15 dpo then on 17/18 dpo I started to bleed and I could barely see the line.

I think I’m losing my mind, can anyone else see it? I’m going to try again with flu anyways.
