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 💕

4 days late, some cramping and awful feeling of bloat! Crazy level of fatigue two days ago which is usually a pretty key indicator of my period coming. Have got a test for tomorrow morning if AF doesn’t start overnight. I did do a test at 6 or 7 dpo which was negative so I’m trying to remain realistic that it’s probably just a late period, ovulation was later than normal for me. But there is that small corner of hope….

I’m day 7 dpo today and feel so many symptoms but trying not to obsess over it! Boobs feel tender (but only just stopped bf my daughter!) feel sick and nauseous and have cramps

I took a test this morning and it was just an evap line (clear blue are shie) little bit disappointed but only 9dpo. Don’t know if I’m reading in to symptoms but I just feel this dragging feeling in my abdomen and my boobs are sore but not as sore as they usually are leading up to AF. This is just a little mindFck isn’t it 🙃

7dpo here, dying to test but I know it'll be too early! I swore to myself id wait until the day my period is due. Its the longest 2 weeks ever 🤣

Your last sentence completely sums it up!

Wow have to say I admire all of your restraint in here! So many people waiting for their missed period to test!

I’m currently in my fertile week, cycle 2. Hoping I catch it this time…

I did it… I caved and tested… 8dpo 🤞🏼😭💛

@TealDream I see something! oh how exciting!

I just tested there on another stupid clear blue and i can’t tell if i can see a faint line! I would wait to test again until AF is due but I have a wedding on Sunday and I kinda want to know before then. Don’t want all the questions about why I’m not drinking for nothing. Keep reminding myself that AF is not due to Wednesday so I am a bit early even for the early detection tests!

@AMD93i HATED clear blue when I was pregnant with my daughter. First response was much better if you can get your hands on them! Or just the cheapie ones. X

@TealDream I understand why you did! I acc looked again and there’s another evap line but I’ve taken a pic to scruitinise the “line” I saw within the window. DH went out and got me boots early tests with pink dye, took one yesterday afternoon but i couldn’t see anything. Have one left might take it in the morning. I don’t have time to get a frer one from Amazon because we’re going away first thing tomorrow fs
your test is looking good though! Fingers crossed it gets darker!!!

@AllyDevon a lil swearing always helps convey feelings lol

Omgggggg how exciting! Keep us updated with the progression x

Hellooooo, joining over from the over thread.

41 and on cycle #6 - had blood tests and scan and all okay and confirmed still ovulating. Booked for a hycosy and partner (same age) had semen test a week ago and waiting for results. We conceived our daughter first cycle 6 years ago! I’m 2DPO and hoping for good news this month 🩷

Congratulations @TealDream and @KLK94 lovely news! Let’s hope this is a lucky thread.

8dpo today, i dont usually get premenstrual symptoms like this but so far i'm experiencing sore/tingly nipples, random sudden boob pains, mood swings, abit more tired, abit bloated, heavy womb and this evening a huge wave of nausea which i'm hoping is hormone related and not the dreaded lurgy 🤢 fingers crossed 🤞

13DPO/CD28 today, and still nada on my tests so think I’m out this month. Just waiting for AF now so we can start again! 😑

Cycle # 11 TTC. Genuinely can’t figure out the exact day of ovulation as LH peak and BBT are suggesting different days. Wishing everyone luck this month!! ✨❤️

6 days late and I got this ✨ fingers crossed it all works out. I was so sure it was a negative after testing negative with an early test so I was surprised ☺️

@AllyDevon congratulations!!!! 🥳 amazing news on a Saturday morning!

@TealDream have you taken any more tests? Your last one looked promising!

i took another test this morning, stark white. I’m 11dpo so had a lil break down to my DH haha

@MoonLitLavender hopefully your Bfp is round the corner!

@AMD93trying not getting excited 😭🤞🏼💛

@AllyDevonhuge congratulations x

Congratulations ladies! Look like some lovely April babies coming up! I’m CD27 but no symptoms of anything. Not sure if to test pre missed period as I did miss a chemical not testing at all but ignorance is bliss!

Congratulations to all those positives!! I’m about 9DPO on our first proper cycle trying… not feeling much hope tbh. Had some breast tenderness but that’s gone. I am a bit more tired and hungry but I think that’s just the weather in England rather than anything hormonal. Not sure what to look for at this stage tbh. I’m due on in about a week but we’re away with my family. So either going to be sad or secretly waiting to get home to take a test. Discussed taking a test before we go but think I’d just be disappointed and I’d rather not know 😅

hi all- congratulations to those with positive bfps how exciting! I’m now 13 dpo and due period on Monday - but my period can be a day or two out so just on the look out. I haven’t had any major symptoms so not too sure what to think, only some cramping from 7dpo one and off. Can’t get hold of pregnancy test until mid next week after period due as currently abroad with in laws feeling very impatient! 😅

By the look of it they’re both saying CD14.
