Starting a thread for anyone TTC in August...

I'm on CD4 of cycle #4, trying for baby #2

Wishing everyone good luck for this month 💕

Good luck for this month everyone✨ AF came for me yesterday (two days early!) TTC #1 am on cycle 2.

Hi all , joining:) starting to ttc no 2 this month😃, am 37, have 2 year old DS and had 2 miscarriages before him.. praying this journey is kinder to me!x

Phone completely freaked out and banned me from Mumsnet for 2 months! Third month ttc - 9 dpo today and got these - what do we think? (TOP CHEAPY IS WATER JUST TO CHECK FOR EVAPS/TO TRY TO STOP LINE EYES

I can see a line on both, but also a bit of a grey line on the water one. Looks positive though, congrats! Fingers crossed for it not being chemical.

Thanks @Andrasathese might be better photos! I think they’re pink

@rainycoldbooI can see something on both! Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Thanks @CatLady1994fingers crossed for a sticky bean

On CD8 of our second cycle, fertile period starts tomorrow. TTC my second and his first. Hopefully we're successful this month. I'm 37 so not expecting miracles XD

@rainycoldboo i can see a line on those! Fingers crossed for a sticky baby and some good line progression 🤞

Thanks so much @MrsF111- me too xx

Onto cycle 10 for me 😞 TTC #1, CD4. Feels like a tough journey at the moment. Had major implantation symptoms on Saturday which then turned to AF.

Can I join please? 😃

DH and I are on our first attempt to conceive baby #2, I'm nearing the end of my period at the moment and my Flo app tells me I will be fertile next week. My periods are usually 24-27 days apart so I'm wondering how it can be that accurate though as surely my ovulation time will vary!?

Told myself I was going to be chill but I'm already contemplating buying some of the ovulation tests and goggling conception tea 🤣

I'm 32, we have an almost 4 year old little girl and we were going to be OAD but a scare last month left us realising we would like a second after all.

Sending everyone lots of luck.

I’d like to join too please! Cycle 1 of TTC baby no2 with a 3.5 yo daughter. Currently 7 or 8 dpo and had this weird temp dip of 0.3c today. No other symptoms currently. Good luck everyone 💕

@ajc1994 I'm about the same as you, 8dpo today. Also had no symptoms yet. When do you think you'll test?

@summertime94ooh nice to have someone on the same day as me. I’m going for Friday FMU then Sunday FMU so 9/10 dpo and then 11/12 dpo 🤞🏼 what about you?

@ajc1994I think I'm going to try and wait until my period has been missed so Monday!

I had a chemical last month and tested a day before i was due so want to save myself potential disappointment again!

@summertime94sorry to hear that! That sounds a good plan. My cycles been irregular since I got my IUD out in April so no idea when my period is due x I’ve been so bloated but I know that’s a sign PMS too

@ajc1994im also feeling bloated but just put it down to PMS. Last month I had heavier boobs and a weird sort of headachey feeling in my head just before I got the positive so I don't really expect to have any symptoms for another few days, although could be different this time!

have you been ovulation tracking?

So annoying that PMS and pregnancy symptoms are similar isn’t it. With my first I had no signs until a few weeks pregnant. Yeah these are my tests, have you? Today I’ve actually started having some cramps but then last month my LP was only 10 days long so could be the same this time around! I started taking insitol a month ago and I’m sure it’s made me ovulate earlier this cycle as previously it was CD24+ wbu

Living vicariously through all of you starting to have maybe symptoms and get to find out soon 🙏 I’ve still got at least a week before I can test and I’m already over the wait, no idea how I’m going to do this for a year if it comes to that.

@ajc1994I've been using the clear blue ovulation sticks and also tracking with Flo (I live abroad and there's less choice available for ovulation and pregnancy sticks so I end up spending a fortune on the clear blue ones!)

ive not heard of insitol, will have to look it up! This cycle I've been drinking pomegranate juice and I also took mucinex I think it's called during ovulation.

@Andrasagood luck! The wait is so hard, I will keep updating if I get any symptoms

Hi @NavigatingLife I am exactly same as you - going into cycle #4 TTC #2! How old is your little one? My DS is 22 months. I conceived him cycle 3 so feeling a bit disheartened it's not happened that quickly again to be honest! I'm on cycle day 2 now

Can I join, ttc #3 still BF overnight. Had first period in July. AF due at the weekend. Don’t think we’ve been successful despite plenty bedroom action. Opk never showed positive

Hello, can I join :)

This is my first time trying to conceive with my partner, cycle 1. Never used any type of contraception before, just the old good fashioned pull out method 😆

According to my tracking app, I’m 12dpo, period due in 3 days. Definitely feel like it’s on the way though, so let’s see :)

Got a faint line on three test. Checked the app I’m using and I’m 10dpo. Woke up this morning to heavy bleeding so don’t think it has stuck. Feeling a bit sad this morning.
