TTC Sept 2024

[TTCIrish]

Moving over from lurking on TTC Aug 2024, as AF just arrived yesterday. Anyone else joining?

Not even a squinter of a line (held at various angles in the light 😜) this morning at 8dpo. Know it’s early but hard not to feel
disheartened x

New here - have enjoyed reading many other TTC threads from previous months, it’s great to know that I’m not alone! Currently 7dpo and trying to resist the temptation to test early!

This is almost exactly my story… the mental recovery after a MMC is not an easy one, I understand - hopefully September is the month for both of us 🤞🏼

@SB0 hopefully. It’s so difficult isn’t it. Currently on holiday and I think 2DPO now. I ovulated on day 20 I think so not sure if there will be time this month before period is due. But fingers crossed for us both!

Fingers are crossed for you!

I had a horrific experience with medical management of MMC, retained tissue, then finally a D&C - the whole saga went on for about 2 months. I think I’ve only just now started to get over it all!

I think I'm only on 2DPO and already feeling impatient that I have another two weeks to go until I find out either way!

@SB0 that sounds tough. So sorry you have had to go through that. Both of my MC were MMC. I opted for a D&C both times as my body seemed to want to hold on to the pregnancy. With the MMC I had in July, we had a successful scan at 6 weeks and saw a heartbeat but must have stopped developing a few days later. So hard to see that and then go on to have a MC. My dates were slightly out but I think after seeing a heartbeat you think you are in the clear. Not sure whether I would get an early scan next time. Think it gave me false reassurance this time sadly.

@LS888 seeing a heartbeat in my first pregnancy definitely gave me a false sense of security - didn't even know MMC was a thing back then! Since had 2 more, but for those the early scans had a slow heartbeat so it never looked good from that first scan on, a little less shocking to deal with.

I'm now in cycle 4 TTC again since my most recent loss, just into fertile week. Thankfully on holiday in Cornwall next week so the 2ww shouldn't be as painful as normal 😊

Hello all, hope ok for me to message here. It’s my first time TTC and fighting the urge to test. I’m only DPO 8.

Do you think best to hold out until missed period?

@Lbrd1 it's hard but it's best to wait....from someone who has had far too many negative tests to count! Saves money and can also save a lot of upset/disappointment.

Hi all… coming out of lurking mode for September. Month #4 TTC baby #1… decided to be more relaxed and not be on all forums this month. We also used preseed. I’m 9 or 10 dpo. Can I ask for some line eyes please? I’m in disbelief and not sure if I’m being delusional. Don’t want to tell hubby until it’s a BFP… had a very vivid dream on Saturday night about being pregnant with a baby girl 🥹😭😱 let me know what you guys think….

Thank you x

That’s definitely a line!! Congrats!!

@ScarlettSloth that is definitely a line!! 🎉. Looking forward to the DPO stage, currently only on CD9 😊

Hey, sorry you feel like this. I tested today and feel so disappointed too. I am 9dpo and due AF Sunday, it's only cycle 1 for me so early for me too but I just wanted to say I totally get the disappointment feeling xx

Absolutely see it xx

@ScarlettSloth I definitely see it too! Congratulations xx

@moosey89 so hard to know what to do about early scans. They gave me reassurance with my little girl as had already had our first mmc before conceiving her. So with the next pregnancy did the same- had an early reassurance scan. They only give you peace of mind for that moment in time and think that’s what you need to bear in mind.

@LS888 I'd definitely have them again, but only really to find out as early as possible if I had another missed miscarriage. Try to avoid as much wasted time as possible if that makes sense.

Thanks ♥️ you too x

Congratulations ♥️🎉 definitely a line!!

Feeling a bit deflated at the minute. Anyone else?
3 months TTC after 7 week miscarriage in March.

Trying to avoid apps and ovulation tests. Trying to avoid pressure but feel like I'm pressuring myself. 😵‍💫

Yeah me too. Super deflated and trying not to pressure or stress myself but I feel it's just hard and I can't help but stress or pressure myself. Cycle one this month, had a chemical last month which was a month where we didn't actively try. I'm more upset this month as I just have a feeling I am out (10dpo) bfn this morning. Next month I may just give up, not try so hard and focus on something else as much as that's impossible 🫣

I’m on month 4 but not due to ovulate for a week or so. Are other people concentrating efforts to ovulation day or going for every other day throughout the month. This will be the first month trying pressed and prenatal vitamins. I’m 26 in 2 weeks and TTC no.1. We used ovulation tests the last few months and concentrated efforts around the fertile days but it wasn’t effective. This month we’re going for every other day

@CosmoMango I just have sex when I want hit during my fertile window I had sex 3 times in a row. That was twice because we would have had sex anyway and once because we knew it was my fertile period. I am feeling so hacked off with it that next cycle I'm going to just ignore my fertile period I think
