June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

[FarAwayBird]

Starting a new thread because we got to 999 replies!

@peanutForever my first pregnancy I would spot every time we DTD! (So we really didn’t do it a lot because I would stress out!)

@Papill19 they do look very similar! I’m going to carry on testing, do a proper clear blue at the weekend I think (when my period is due) and then try and stop and relax (easier said than done)

@ViolettySpaghettisad you're having to join us but a big welcome! So, so sorry for your recent loss 😔 I hope you're healing okay and wishing you all the luck for your rainbow baby. Did it take you long to concieve? Any other children? Hugs x

@ChaE05 Thank you, that’s very kind 🤍 I am lucky to have a daughter who is 3, we conceived her first try! The baby we recently lost took two cycles so we’ve been really fortunate on that side of things but have learnt not to take these things for granted 😅
What about you? X

@ViolettySpaghettisame as you, I concieved my Son first try. He's 18 months. Will be going into cycle 9 of TTC our second. Had a mc at 6 weeks in Feb and fell pregnant immediately after but started miscarrying about a week after my bfp. 4 cycles since and nothing. I suspect it's my age (38) but have started fertility tests though the GP. They do say you are extra fertile following a mc so hopefully 🤞 it was true for me after that first one. Xx

@ChaE05 Oh I’m so sorry for your losses ☹️ wishing you all of the luck going forward! It’s literal emotional whiplash, especially going back to the start again. Glad your GP is giving you testing! 🌈

@Mushroo sounds like a good idea, I am going to do the same I think!
@peanutForever I agree with your husband and think he sounds brilliant. My second test yday was much fainter but I know it was because I had drank so much during the day - it was darker again this morning. Also know lots of people who have spotted periodically throughput their pregnancies and be absolutely fine! Keep us updated!

@megan345 Haha okay, that’s good. I hope little one is feeling okay post jab!

@peanutForever Agree that everything is probably fine but I know how hard it is to relax!

Welcome @ViolettySpaghetti - I’m so sorry for your loss!

It’s official, I’m on CD1 again. Ah well. Ate a small mountain of pastries to commiserate. Here’s to 10-14 days of not peeing on anything 😂

Thanks for the new thread @FarAwayBird!

9DPO today and feeling a bit glum. Zero symptoms so far. Hard not to compare to last time I got pregnant where I had every symptom in the book hence why I tested so early, obviously with hindsight that was because the egg had already split so there was a lot more HCG. But hard because I keep comparing to that and feel like I already know I’m not pregnant 😭

I have FRER in the cupboard but feel hesitant to test as I don’t want to be super disappointed!

Hi all,
this is our first month TTC, I’m about 6 DPO I think, I didn’t do an ovulation test because I promised myself I was going to drive myself mad with this. Jokes on me, it’s all I can think about 🤣 convinced I felt cramping today but could also just be my womb telling me to shut up and to stop pressurising it. Going to be a long 9 days until the arrival of my period 🙃

@DoubleDandelionI'm exactly the same as you! My 2 recent miscarriages I felt implantation and I had a whole lot of CM. So I always seem to know I'm out before I even take a test. Which I HATE. Because it feels like such a long time knowing you're not pregnant before AF shows? 10dpo here x

@ChaE05 ah yes one day ahead of me! I almost feel like I’m already counting down the days to AF because I want to crack on with next cycle. But I know it’s silly, implantation may not have even happened yet, I didn’t feel it with the twins but it must have happened early.

So sorry to hear about the miscarriages 😢 how long have you been trying for?

@DoubleDandelioni was also very unaware of any implantation or symptoms with my son - he's 19 months now. Infact was in shock at my bfp- first try. But both my mc I felt something around 6/7dpo and the giveaway was the cm..I felt constantly wet. We were trying for 3 months before got my first bfp, then fell pregnant again immediately after mc- that one obviously ended in mc also. Going into month 5 of ttc since then. (Once AF arrives- due Thursday) x

@DoubleDandelionhow old are your twins? How long have you been trying x

Thanks @FarAwayBird well spotted on the full thread.

@megan345 sounds like we're at a similar point - cycle sisters for July. I'm CD12 and very pleased to report I just got a high/positive OPK, would be surprised if it got any higher so suspect it will be my peak, hurrah! Feel so relieved after stupid 15 day cycle last time. In with a good chance this month. DTD 2 days ago, today, will aim for tomorrow plus day after if we can manage 3 in a row what CD are you? When do you typically ovulate?

@peanutForever no amount of checking, testing, googling, worrying will change the outcome. Good to get the progesterone sorted. As far as you know, all is well so far, try to hang onto that xx

@hollyhocks2still waiting on my postive opk, um a bit irregular to be honest last cycle i ovulated on cd21 and this cycle i’m on cd23 so far, had a little ewcm but nothing major, i do feel like i’m on the brink though with peak being 1-3 days away x

@EmPeEf I think you were optimistic about catching your peak this cycle - what's the update on the lines please?! Think mine is leaking today / tomorrow fingers crossed!

@megan345 I hope your peak is soon and then we can be in the TWW together. It can come out of nowhere can't it so maybe tomorrow for you!

@hollyhocks2fingers crossed! definitely, i feel little twinges so i definitely think i’m due too soon just taking its time x

@peanutForever like @ChaE05 said its probably a combination of the sex this morning and being so hydrated. Honestly, just step away from the tests. I know that is so hard to do when you wanna see that lovely line progression but they mean absolutely nothing in terms of viability. It's great that you're gonna get progesterone.

@ViolettySpaghetti welcome! I'm hoping for my rainbow too 🌈✨️❤️

@FarAwayBird sorry AF has arrived. I hope those pastries were delicious!

@DoubleDandelion it's so hard not to test isn't it?!

@kw1091 best of luck 🤞🏻

@hollyhocks2 sounds like you've got it well covered!

I thought I was seeing a gradual increase, but my SMU test this afternoon (bad sleep habits lol) showed a small dip. I’ll do one later tonight to see how it is. Reeeally hope it happens the next 5 days, but tbh even if we miss the peak this month, I feel like our relationship and sex life has improved so much the last few months that it’s all been worth it without a BFP so far.

I’m always hyper optimistic and happy at the start of the month 😄

Are you using an app like Premom?

Hey guys, checking in again. Im on my 2ww now, mind you we haven't tracked anything this month as wanted to just enjoy the time instead. So no idea what dpo I am but hoping this month its the one!

I'm trying the whole pretend you're taking a break but you still think about it every day but you hope cos you're not testing this months it means you're "more relaxed" 😅🤦🏽‍♀️ sarcasm as well if anyone was unsure 😂

Premom says ovulation already been and gone beginung of this week, flo says peak was last night.

Funnily enough first month I've had barely any ovulation pain, but that makes me think I haven't done it yet cos I always have pain. Though it's second month taking vitamin c at 1000mg so maybe that's why, I dunno, not testing so won't know when it actually ocured.
But be interesting to see when my period arrives as both apps say different.
Anyway. That's all I have for now 😂

I'm 10DPO now and desperate to take a test but really trying to hold off until Friday, the TWW is too much 😅

I have woken up with bad indigestion and after the cramps and slight blood yesterday I succumbed to taking a test. At 8dpo of course it was negative 🤣

I feel awful today, so tired and nauseous. Surely it’s too early to feel this bad so I’m now worried I’m coming down with something - having got a message from my LOs nursery they have a hand foot and mouth outbreak.

11dpo and my tests are slowly getting darker, but still haven’t had the ‘wow’ line I want to show DH
