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 !💙

@Kiwiburgh thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me :) I've had spotting for two days now and it doesn't seem to be getting any heavier. It started yesterday, but today my test was slightly darker, and of course the CB digital. It was one of the 'weeks' ones, so I don't know if they aren't as sensitive? The positive CB and darker line today is what's throwing me and making hold onto hope that it's not a chemical.

@LucyCL so sorry to hear that you experienced a chemical too. As my lines weren't that dark I wasn't even sure I was pregnant and the bleeding started before I got clearer lines and a positive CB today, so I never really had the chance to believe I was really pregnant which I think has helped with making it less upsetting. If this had happened first time around when I was expecting my son I would have been absolutely devastated as as soon as I saw that second line I was so invested.

AF due tomorrow so went out today and bought pregnancy tests just incase. I just took one and it was BFN! Stared at it for so long and definitely just the one line! I didn't get a positive test until 2 days after AF was late so clinging onto that hope

I've had no bleeding since. Had cramps all day though. Taking it as a sign my AF is on its way. I remember I got so excited last time I got pregnant, I was in the shower doing an "everything shave" and I saw little strings of blood come out. Then, and only then, did I feel the true meaning of heartbreak. My boyfriend was in Thailand and I was all on my own. I sat there crying my eyes out begging god not to take my baby from me, never have I felt more vulnerable and scared in my life. I had the most precious thing and it got taken from me. Since then I've tried to conceive again but it's just not happening for us

Had a little bleeding on my knickers last night - 12 dpo I think unless I ovulated late. AF was due today but unless I had a late implantation and my period still isn't here. Maybe I'm just being too hopeful. I stared at my test this morning for so long I swear I saw a shadow but maybe I just wanna see the line so much I'm putting it into my head

Morning everyone, it’s me again with another test 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve had no bleeding overnight and none when I went to the loo first thing. Here’s my test from today, can someone have a look and see if they think it’s darker than yesterday’s please? I’ll post yesterdays below

Yesterday’s

I think it’s slightly darker? Good sign that’s you’ve stopped bleeding too.

im 10DPO and had positives this morning 🥹

@Lovedatforme I’m not going to get too excited as it was the same yesterday - no bleeding overnight but started again mid morning.

oh those look like great lines!! How are you feeing?

It must be so hard not knowing what is going on you poor thing. Hoping it doesn’t start again for you today 🤞

ive been feeling super tired, a bit sick the last 2/3 days and quite emotional.

just hoping it sticks now.

@Lovedatforme yay on the clear blue! Bleeding has started again for me this morning 😔 if my tests were fading I would put it down to a chemical, but if anything they are getting slightly darker, but maybe the line progression isn’t good enough. Who knows! It’s not great being in limbo like this 😭

@DaisyEM I definitely think it's got darker!

@Lovedatforme congratulations on clear blue test!

@1441x I think so too! Surely then it’s not a chemical 🤔 this is such a mind f*ck! Bleeding is still going but it’s not like usual AF, still just spotting. I think my plan is if the lines are still getting darker and I’m still bleeding by Monday I’ll call the GP. Maybe they can do bloods and check hgc levels are where they should be for my gestation. Pregnancy wasn’t straight forward for me with my first either 🤦🏻‍♀️

Looks much darker to me! Hope it sticks xx

So sorry just read further down and noticed this, what a stressful time! Hopefully the bleeding settles or your GP can give you some answers next week xx

@MrsB902 thanks for having a look for me. Bleeding has increased a bit this afternoon and now getting some on a pad 😔 so I do think most likely chemical 😢

I'd def ring the GP on monday or maybe the EPU? They should be able to do bloods to see if things are progressing.

@DaisyEM it definitely looks darker. Have all my fingers and toes crossed for you that it’s just to do with some hormonal changes.

@Lovedatforme congratulations!! 💫

@Lovedatforme I will ☺️ I looked up our closest EPU and it’s 40 mins away (🤦🏻‍♀️) and you have to be referred by your GP, so I’ll speak to the GP Monday

@CoolSummer89 thanks so much xx

My temps have been all over the shop this month, both before and after ovulation, and it is messing with my head.

(Me and DH are dealing with suspected male-factor infertility so very unlikely that I am pregnant this cycle)

@CoolSummer89 sorry to see your chart is so all over the place, and about the male factor infertility. That chart is confusing, but from the looks of things you got a positive OPK just before the temp rise, so at least it does look like the chart is accurate, despite a few odd temps!

Hey!
Looking for some advise from UK moms to be please!
I tested positive yesterday at 8dpo. I’m going to keep testing for a few days, then try and contact my doctors due to a previous loss.
I am wanting them to tell me whether or not I should take asprin this time around (I have a blood clotting disorder) but they never told me to take it last time. But my question is, is there anywhere else I can go/call if my doctors won’t give me an appointment/speak to me? They are a pain in my area!! ( Also from Wales if that makes a difference haha )

Thank you!

@DaisyEM Your line is definitely getting darker! Hope it is a sign of pregnancy progressing, and not otherwise.. You do read occasionally about women not even realizing they have been pregnant for a few months, because they swear they have had period -like bleeding all that time ! Do ask GP or EPU on Monday, maybe they will do blood tests.

@Nicolem9 I would press to make sure GP speaks to you on the phone at least!

AF arrived here, as fully expected. At least the cycle was its usual length so I am relieved to start looking forward to August!

CD30 15DPO for me, and another negative test. AF not arrived on time but I guess she's coming soon, weirdly I've had no period symptoms that I usually do the week before but I guess I convinced myself I was pregnant so just ignored them!
Going to move myself over to the August thread!
@DaisyEM do keep this thread updated!

How're you feeling today @DaisyEM ?
