TTC Sept 2024

[TTCIrish]

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

Sounds promising @MJones24! X

@Bobbilennard Mine is inverted! My nurse told me recently at a cervical check screening that it wouldn't impact getting pregnant or pregnancy or giving birth

Thanks @jollydollyirl, I hope it is. I'm also very conscious that I was at a gathering over the weekend...so it could very well be a cold!! I guess I'll just sit with the unknown for a week!

Fingers crossed for you ♥️

Fingers crossed it’s not a cold! Just a few more days before testing!

I’m on CD10 today, I tend to ovulate around CD14 so I started taking daily ovulation tests yesterday. I’m also measuring BBT this cycle, and am also often below 36°, but I didn’t think much about it.

weve been BD every other day since CD9, and will try to do once a day during my fertile window.

lets see what happens! I think I’ll be testing around 15th ish September

Thanks! Weirdly enough nearly all the symptoms have gone for now, apart from swollen/painful breasts. I'm pretty sure my nipples have darkened over today (TMI sorry!), don't know if that's a thing. Not sure if I'm going delirious with being so fixated on having our first child!! Good luck with yours 😊

Hi all! Lots of new faces which is is nice to see.
CD1 of Cycle 9 TTC#1. Hurting a little bit that I could have had a baby by now, but trying not to dwell 🙂
I was saying on the August thread. My cycles are usually 27 days like clockwork, so my partner and I arranged a holiday for my September fertile window, but in August I ovulated 4 days early which has completely messed with our plans and I think I’ll probably be travelling when I ovulate. Oh well, what do they say? When you make plans, God laughs 🙃
Best of luck to everyone this month.

Hi all,

please can I join! Ttc baby number 1, but unfortunately had an ectopic preg in May where I lost my right tube as it ruptured. It’s taken me a few months to get over it but I’m ready to try again. CD 2 for me good luck everyone!

@rebecca199 saw your message about ectopic, hopefully it’s not that and just heavy implantation bleeding but happy to help answer any questions or your concerns x

@Hopefulx sorry that you went through that. Can I ask, did you have any signs in the weeks/days before it burst? Or was it just typical early pregnancy?

@Bobbilennard i also have a tilted uterus. Not sure if it affects conception. I had a mmc in July 2022 but got pregnant in November 22 with my little girl. Had another mmc in July this year. But hopefully conceive again soon. No one has mentioned that a tilted uterus will affect anything.

@CoolSummer89 not planned but our holiday also coincides with ovulation and my hubbys birthday. I’m not ovulation testing this month as just trying to go with the flow a bit and see what happens. But I know from the apps and previous cycles that it will be around that date!!

My birthday will be near ovulation too! Then my 2ww will be near to our holiday - I'll probably be testing when we are there! This will be my first try for our second - I fell first try with my son so it'll be hard to not get my hopes up!🤞
it's nice to have company! Wishing everyone lots of luck.

@Blue2020 it was similar to early pregnancy I didn’t have many signs at all other than I spotted a tiny bit which can also happen in normal pregnancies. I also had a sore tummy a few times but it was after I ate certain foods so I thought it was food adversions! Knowing what I know now, I’d always get an early scan x

@Hopefulx thankyou for your response. Is it ok to ask how far along you were when it ruptured?

I hope you are ok, and good luck for the upcoming cycle.

I'll join. Ttc no1 cycle 2. 1 day PO x

Welcome!

Pretty sure I'm out for the month. 9dpo and I've noticed a tiny bit of blood when wiping. AF is due Friday, so I think it might be that. Gutted, but I guess on to cycle 5 for Sept!

Fingers crossed it's just implantation bleed? X

Thank you so much for sharing! I have a very similar chart to yours, my LH peak was about 0.66 this month and always goes back down quickly. My cycles are very regular and my EWCM lasts for about 2 days. My sister actually recommended to make sure I'm drinking enough water as this can effect EWCM (not sure but it can't hurt can it)

I'm on cycle 6 ttc #1 at age 34.

Thank you for the recommendation RE water! Thinking about it, I was definitely very dehydrated during my fertile week - it was my husbands 30th birthday so lots of meals out, celebratory drinks and no where near enough water.

I had no idea about dehydration affecting CM! So interesting. I'm currently on CD12 and probably expecting my peak in the next 2 days, so I'll make sure I'm keeping on top of hydration. Still negative ovulation tests atm.

What app are you using that gives you some kind of measurement for the ovulation test? I'm using natural cycles and I can take a photo but it just tells me if it's positive or negative, not anything about the level.

This is what doctor google says about it 😅

"For women, dehydration results in poor egg health, and less cervical mucus secretion which is vital for transportation of sperm to the fallopian tubes."

I'm using premom, it gives you a chart for both your bbt and your ovulation tests.

Mine and Nay34's graphs are the premom app. I just use the free version and find it fantastic. I use the easy @ home OPKs but there is sections for other brands too. You just take a photo of your tests using the app and it plots it on the graph. I also record my BBT in the app too (the blue line on the graph)
