TTC Aug 2024

[AlleycatMarie]

Hi ladies!
CD 1 for me today, so I’m moving over from the July thread and starting this one (don’t think there is already one).
Anyone else now ttc for a BFP in August??

I am wondering if I'm the same. Things looked promising today I did 4 opks. They went up quite a lot but only took two tests to work so the first 2 looked promising but by the time I came home to do the other 2 things were coming down again. I'm on CD 19 now and bd-ing at least every other day. Just hoping if we keep going I'll eventually just get a bfp 🙈

Hello, moving myself over from the July thread👋🏼
Currently on CD30, waiting for AF to show up after having BFN's at 10DPO, 13DPO & 15DPO.
Onto Cycle #4 and keeping everything crossed for august x

Hi everyone, just coming over from the July train after a wiiiild ride (period was 5 days late, pregnancy symptoms but negative tests!)

Anyway, cd1 for me today. Lets hope next month is less crazy!

Hi ladies, CD1 here for my 3rd month TTC #2, my first is 19 months.

Hey everyone! TTC #2, cycle 2
Same as @SkaterChick here from July TTC, 3 days late, a faint line but AF arrived 😩
Here's to August being our month!!

Moving across from the TTC July thread.
AF arrived today at 12dpo, super early this month. I'm putting it down to it only being my second post partum cycle.
Good luck to everyone this cycle! 🍀

CD 20 here and no sign of ovulation... Multiple opks per day and bbt sitting at 35.9 for days. Not feeling confident this month.

How's everyone else dealing with the lack of control I find it so hard 🙈

Update from this… had been tracking my temp and had a major dip this morning so decided to do another OPK and it was glaringly positive. Guess my ovulation date is much later this month (CD19) and I’m usually around 14/15…. Guess it’s another week of full on dtd and hoping something sticks 😂🤪

Bit of a random question here. So I've seen a lot of people mentioning they have sore boobs as a symptom of pregnancy or PMS. I always used to get sore boobs during AF and it was also my first sign when I was pregnant with my first. But now I think of it I haven't had this symptom during AF since I stopped breastfeeding? Does breastfeeding kind of take away some feeling in your boobs??
CD31, 17DPO, Negative tests

10 DPO, got impatient and took a test. Waited 2 mins and it was white. Thought I was too early so left it 40 mins and came back to this.

Probably an evap line?
Going to buy more tests today

^^

@Jefferson5 I think if you don't read the results within 10 mins the results become invalid. I would get another test but wait a few more days before retesting.

@FlyWren thanks!
I took a Clear Blue one at lunchtime and a faint line came up straight away.

I will not test again until AF due to be sure.

Congratulations to the ones who got BFPs! Sending positive vibes to the ones who just started a new exciting cycle and who are still waiting for their peaks! Good luck to the ones who just got their peaks! 💙
I am on CD16 and got my peak after 12p.m. I will be in 2WW again. Are there anyone who are about to start their 2WW around the same time like me?

Yes I will be :) crossing fingers for you x

My TWW started Friday so I’m not too far into it. When do you usually start testing?

Hello everyone, tentatively joining you.
It will be my first cycle TTC a sibling for my kids. I’m on cd13 but still have a while to go before ovulation because of having long cycles.

Fingers and toes crossed for all of us here🤞 😀

You are 5 days earlier than me. 😀I usually started to test hcg and LH from 1 dpo for record keeping and data consistency. Now I wonder if I should start testing HCG on 8dpo. What about you ?

Premom has given up on me finding my own peak and has decided now it was a few days ago. It's telling me I'm 3dpo so here's hoping I've done enough.

Suggests testing hcg levels on the 8th anyone else testing around then and can be supportive in not testing until at least then 🤦‍♀️ I went ott last month testing early

8dpo is really early! I’m going to try and hold off until my period is due but there’s absolutely no chance of that happening 😂

Hi everyone I'd like to join please, currently trying for our second. Only 3 cycles in at the moment and had a chemical in the first cycle trying. Trying to be more relaxed this cycle, no ovulation testing and no pregnancy testing until my period is missed 🤞🏻 currently on CD15
Hope this is the cycle for everyone!

Hi, so Im on CD32, 18DPO and AF is 4 days late. I've been testing since 10Dpo and always get a BFN. This mornings test looks like this? Is this a dodgy test? The line is going horizontal rather than vertical? Test looked like this 5 minutes after taking

Hello - wondering if I could join this group! I was in one back in 2020/2021 - and it was lovely to have support! We have just started TTC again so we can hopefully have our second child.
I started spotting yesterday (8dpo) which is a sign AF in imminent, but I wasn’t holding out much hope for first try (being 40 might not help either!) so am not disheartened yet. Last time took a while with a couple of losses too, so I feel more prepared this time round than before when I naively thought we’d time it right and that would be it!

So far have only done opks the last few months just to give me a rough idea when I ovulate, although I’m considering doing bbt again aswell - it’s just remembering to take my temp in thr mkrn these days!!

No 8dpo the 8th of August sorry wasn't very clear x

@Jefferson5 tentarive congratulations!!! With 2 bfp it’s looking good!! Really hoping this sticks for you x
