TTC August 2025

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 💕

Hello, hoping to join. Been super quiet on here the last few months. We had a miscarriage last month but not there is something suspicious going on down there (pelvic scans and colposcopy booked in) but no one has told us to stop trying. From where we just had the MC I don’t really know what this cycle is doing. Just trying to leave more than a day between testing 😬 here was this mornings test, which looked positive to my eyes but when on the camera I felt like my phone was gaslighting me haha

Joining late in the month! But first cycle of trying for 2nd. Dd has just turned three. Currently on cycle day 23 and I think 8DPO.
Period due Saturday or Sunday but trying to be good and not test unless it doesn't show up by the end of the weekend!

@Disgruntledpelicanladyhi, I’m also 8 dpo today, period due Monday. Have you experienced any symptoms or signs yet? I really don’t have much at all!

@lanagirl123 nothing so far!
I do feel quite bloated this evening but had a big tea 😅
When I got pregnant with my daughter I had no symptoms at all until about 6 weeks though when the sickness started!

Definitely not out yet. Will keep everything crossed for you!

I’m 2 days late, feeling very bloated and uncomfortable on one side particularly! Feel like I’m getting nausea spells, but very very away how much your brain can make you imagine / read into things! I was 4 days late 3 months ago (I think due to stress) and was really upset when negative tests kept showing up so I am trying to resist temptation this way round , until ideally 5 days late. Thankfully I have no tests and won’t have time to get to a pharmacy until Thursday at the earliest. Being careful with caffeine and alcohol just in case 🤞🤞

Hi ladies! Day 23 here- we are currently on holiday in Paphos so going to try swimming three times round Aphrodite’s Rock!

Day 2 of spotting for me, I’m on CD15, wondering if my period is just going to come insanely early?!!

Ah, well I tested again this morning after yesterday’s VVFL and this came up immediately. That’s a relief

Congratulations!!!

Huge congratulations xx

Cd31 still no period but cramps. BFN on Saturday 😔. I’ve ordered vitamins and now thinking about a basal thermometer for the next round. We didn’t dtd so much past 2 weeks anticipated I’d passed ovulation.

Congrats @KLK94 🥳🥳

Hi all, hoping it’s ok to join and maybe get some advice from people who have been through this before. I’m trying for my first baby and this is cycle 4 of trying. The other night (Monday) I was woken up by this sudden sharp feeling in my right nipple then it went away as soon as quickly as it came, yesterday I had this weird dull ache in my lower abdomen, where I usually have period cramps but it didn’t feel like a period cramp and this morning my bbt has dipped a bit and I’ve a head ache. I’m only 8dpo today, i stupidly tested yesterday afternoon and it was a bfn but has anyone experienced any of these symptoms before Bfp? I could be delulu and just tricking myself

Hey everyone!
can anyone see a feint line here or do you think I'm seeing things / evap line?

I think 8dpo is still early! I got v v v faint positives and 9dpo with my little girl. I’d probably test tomorrow.

I can see it! But it doesn’t look to have colour so could just be indent? 🤞🏼 it’s not though x

Oh I know I was insane yesterday by testing hahaha trying to hold out until Friday morning because then I'll be 10dpo and I'll be 5 days away from AF. I have the early detecting tests so fingers crossed! Amazing you got a positive at 9dpo! That tempts me more lol

Thoughts and prayers for anyone hitting ovulation now and has to get sweaty and snuggly in this heat 😥

@AMD93we are very close in timings. I am 6DPO today. Hoping to test Friday but I feel absolutely nothing. I did a LH this morning and it wasn’t very bold so 🫠

@TealDream6dpo here too! Nothing to write home about yet symptoms wise, but keep telling myself that implantation doesn't occur until 6-12dpo. Keep me updated 😀

@MoonLitLavender ahhh exciting!! Yes you’re right. We still have loads of time! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Ive had those exact symptoms before in previous pregnancies before bfp. Ive never had any sort of faint lines until at least 12dpo in the past so dont worry if youre not getting a positive yet, its still very early x

@TealDream oh that's amazing! baby dust to us first thing Friday morning haha since you said you had a faint line at 9dpo I am tempted to test tomorrow but think if it was negative I'd be raging

@MoonLitLavender omg thank you for sharing! I thought I was genuinely imagining it all but that sharp pain the other night literally woke me up and it only lasted a few seconds! I know the only real way of knowing is testing, I'm just so impatient lol

I’ve been hovering on this thread after bfn last month been trying since the start of the year though not actively tracking ovulation etc. I’m day 16 of cycle and feeling like I’ve done a few sessions of sit ups (definitely haven’t) that sort of feeling. I vaguely remember having something similar with my first. Anyone else experience similar?
