June/July TTC Thread❤️

New Thread❤️

Hi all hope it's ok to join in. I'm 7dpo and have had some discharge 6dpo and today. I've also not had much appetite the last few days which is strange for me!

its my first cycle TTC and I'm trying to hold out until at least a few more days before testing.

I’m only CD 4 today so I know i’m not ovulating but thought id do a lh test as they arrived today and i’m kind of confused now for if i’m gonna know when i’m in my fertile window? Obviously the line has to be darker than control for ovulation but I wanted to try the cough syrup this cycle which I was gonna take for a week/few days prior to ovulation but i’m not sure if i’m gonna know that week now?

Does anyone have any advice if you’ve used these? I can go off cm as well but some months I don’t get much

Yeah we did try that but when my cycles are 35+ days it’s so exhausting plus I tend to get really low energy and moody when my cycles are that long lol
I usually track from Cm but this cycle i’m trying the LH strips from easy at home so hopefully this helps🤞🏻

Hi @summertime94 I am about 7dpo today too. There's quite a few of us around that mark. I am going to try to hold off testing until Tuesday (well that's the plan anyway). My period is due Thursday according to my app. I tend to have watery cm in the lead up to AF coming so find it difficult to judge off cm but we're all different! What day do you plan testing?

@ForGiddyDreameri am also due my period on Thursday (according to Flo which I do find quite accurate usually). I'm not sure when to test! I was planning to wait and see if my period is late but not sure if I'll be able to wait.

i keep checking for symptoms and speaking to chat gpt a lot!

I’ve got v light periods like that - I was recommended acupuncture to help, and she said to eat lots of red meat (preferably slow cooked), caster oil packs and femoral massage. I had a scan the month after starting acupuncture and it was 8mm which isn’t too thin - hard to know if it was helping or my lining was ok despite light periods.

@peanutForever congrats on your 2-3 weeks!

@Taysonic hope the scan was ok 🤞🏻 xx

Thank you lovely. I’ve had spotting since about 4/5dpo so feels a bit off. Hopefully a one off this month.

Yes you too 😊 my AF is on its way. Spotting has got heavier (I’ve got a pad on) and I’m teary today!

@Rancor @Muddysocks1 Snap! Also 8DPO.

Remember when I said a couple of days ago that I was going to hold off testing til Monday or Tuesday? Hahahaha. Yeah that didn’t last.

BFN on a cheapie so I doubled down and wasted a FRER. Also BFN. I need some patience! Going away today until Monday night. Got in the car… then last minute ran
back inside to grab some tests 😫😂

Hoping we all keep our sanity over the next few days of waiting 🤞

Congrats @ToddlerGirlMum !

It’s just so tempting!!! BFN here too

@FarAwayBird 😂 it's so easy to do! I'm holding firm for now. Still plan to wait to Tues /wed!

3dpo and counting down the days

On the plus side I have moved the the self funded side of the NHS fertility clinic so my appointment has been moved from March 2026 to next Thursday when I am 9dpo. Although I have done a lot of investigations myself it is good to start the next step and perhaps find out why all of a sudden I can't conceive since my TFMR

@EllieWales welcome! I've not experienced that myself but have read on here about late BFPs so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@ToddlerGirlMum congratulations ❤️

@Iwishyoutoknow @Iris2024 hugs ❤️

@summertime94 welcome! I always try and wait until 12dpo as it's a bit more definite. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@am44a you'll aways have some sort of line on an LH test at any point in your cycle. I would test from when your period is finished. I don't know much about the cough syrup thing, though. Sorry! Oh and make sure you download the Premom app to upload your LH tests.

@Mummysparrow great to hear you've got an earlier appointment 👏🏻

I admire your willpower, @ForGiddyDreamer!

Morning all, can’t quite believe my eyes but this happened this morning. I think I’m 13DPO and on cycle 7. Think starting fertility investigations and the HyCosy really helped things!
Wishing luck to everyone still to test x

wow congratulations!! and what a great line❤️

Congratulations darling! ❤️ This is amazing news! Remind me how long you been trying and if you don’t mind your age? That’s such a good line my love

@Midnight00wow what a line! So happy for you 🫶 was this the first test you did? Also when did you have the hycosy? X

@Midnight00 amazing! Congratulations ❤️

Thanks all. I’m 40 in September and this was cycle 7. I had the Hycosy on 17th June less than a week before ovulation.
Still can’t believe it!
Fingers crossed for you all, it’s going to happen x

Congratulations @Midnight00 ! There's absolutely no doubting that line. Sending you lots of hopes and wishes for a super sticky bean, but it certainly looks very promising already.

@Midnight00this is amazing. I can't imagine how you are feeling! I'm 38, cycle 8. I think this hycosy is my next step. It's quite pricey isn't it?! X

It's not good news for me really... looks like I'll be staying around in this thread for a while.

The scan was last scary yesterday and 'kinder' but no good news to report. They didn't find any evidence of 'retained products of conception' that we were told about at the private scan, but also didn't find any evidence of pregnancy within the uterus. It was put down as a 'pregnancy of unknown location'. I had bloods taken and phoned with the results late last night.

My hcg level was around 160 (I think she said, I just heard one-hundred and didn't need to hear the rest) and progesterone level of 9. Not the levels you'd want to hear if this was a viable pregnancy after having positive tests for almost two weeks. I need to go back to have more bloods tomorrow to see what the 'trend' is so they can either confirm it's a failing pregnancy or consider the risk of an ectopic.

I feel broken. And sad. And just... very hopeless. After the last loss, I was so keen to get pregnant as soon as I could again, but this time feels so different. I can't barrel into this knowing the risk of this happening again.

@Taysonic so so sorry, the situation is so cruel for you both, give yourselves plenty of time to feel whatever you need to, will be thinking of you ❤

@Midnight00 congratulations!!

AF arrived for me this morning so also sticking around this month, pass me the chocolate!!

Awwww amazing! I’m 41 and I’ve just been referred for one. All blood tests fine and ultrasound scan. Hoping a flush will be the magic 🤣
