Hi everyone, setting up a new months thread for those of us who already know weโ€™re out for August. Iโ€™m going on to cycle 3. Hope this can continue to be a place where we can chat and support one another.

@overworkhaha, but so right, take it and remain positive, youโ€™ve got this! ๐Ÿ’ช

@blackberryhillyour holiday sounded perfect ๐Ÿ˜‹ I also feel very normal, itโ€™s weird! Did you continue to DTD post procedure until your test date?

Alex2022 · 19/09/2025 17:05

Sorry meant to say I did have had some gas also, not sure if thatโ€™s the cyclogest though ๐Ÿคจ @blackberryhill

CityKity · 19/09/2025 20:01

I have to admit Iโ€™m a bit behind on whoโ€™s got BFPs this month or is back in for the next cycle.

@overwork that would be funny if weโ€™re positive the same month again! Will be great to have someone else juggling a 2yr old and pregnant! Still no AF but Iโ€™m not discounting that being sick this cycle and being on antibiotics may have messed with my cycle. Finally got my hands on a pack of tests and will text first thing tomorrow. You might be able to tell from my lack of rush to test that I think a positive might seriously freak me out (I hope that doesnโ€™t sound insensitive to those on multiple rounds of trying - I think the idea of 2 is just overwhelming to me)

overwork · 19/09/2025 20:37

I think a relaxed approach is probably a bit easier for everyone involved @CityKityso long as itโ€™s what you want really (once you get over the shock!)

Muddysocks1 · 19/09/2025 22:33

Congrats @overwork !

blackberryhill · 20/09/2025 05:33

@Alex2022 We were told it was fine to but tbh I had no real desire to! We did it the night we had the IUI and then I think once more?

CityKity · 20/09/2025 07:39

@overwork looks like weโ€™re pregnant together again. Iโ€™m slightly freaking out as I was so convinced we were out this month and Iโ€™ve taken so much medication that you shouldnโ€™t take when pregnant. Still early days as you saidโ€ฆ

Oh my goodness. Well thereโ€™s no need to go asking AI about that line is there! Thatโ€™s a whopper, Congratulations!

overwork · 20/09/2025 07:51

I took a test this morning using a different brand. There is still a line, albeit very faint. Havenโ€™t bothered to show my painter because thereโ€™s not a chance heโ€™ll see it. So Iโ€™m still cautiously optimistic today! Now I know itโ€™s not a one-off dodgy test, I think Iโ€™ll leave it a few days and then take a final test to try and get my glaringly obvious line.

CityKity · 20/09/2025 08:00

@overwork Im CD28 (estimated 15 dpo) and held off until now partially so there was no uncertainty when it came to the test. Glad you still have a faint line! Fingers crossed the next one is a clear one ๐Ÿคž

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 08:11

Anyone know if aspirin helps with cramping? We have run out of paracetamol and I canโ€™t take ibuprofen and A is the only other option I have :(

blackberryhill · 20/09/2025 08:20

Congratulations @CityKity and @overwork - so much good news on this thread over the past few days! Hopefully lots of late May/early June babies incoming...

Marvelftw · 20/09/2025 09:02

@CityKity wow no denying that positive, congrats! Itโ€™s so funny especially since you were convinced you were out. Just goes to show positive symptoms can vary so much!

Hi ladies,

So lovely to come on to some BFPโ€™s! โค๏ธ @overwork @CityKity wow that line.

My heads been all over the place since the early miscarriage (chemical) hate to call it a chemical as had positive digital and clear lines for over a week. Can you fill me in on your journeys and @blackberryhill

Im in the two week wait and 7DPO today. Been getting hot flushes and feel a little off, my taste is off like last month but donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m coming down with something. Iโ€™m not sure where Iโ€™m at in regards to doing a pregnancy test this month as it was horrific last month getting all those positives.

I was thinking shall we mark our spot on when we will all be testing the rest of September?

Iโ€™ve added mine when AF is due for now!

Sending so much baby dust to all โœจ

LilacBow45 · 20/09/2025 14:50

Congratulations to all the BFP and lots of baby dust to everyone on here!

very nervous about having another MMC. But Iโ€™m encouraged today my clear blue days 2-3 weeks

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 14:54

@Iris2024good luck ๐Ÿ’• going to start ovulation testing a couple of days after AF ends ( currently on day 2). I definitely wonโ€™t be pregnancy testing until my period due date next month. I canโ€™t go through this again. Been so emotional today. Been with family and they all just keep asking me if Iโ€™m ok and that I look tired / fed up and Iโ€™m really struggling to pick myself up again.

Iris2024 · 20/09/2025 14:59

Lovely news @LilacBow45 how exciting! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@LaurLou22 I know the feeling only too well, itโ€™s really scarred me what I went through. Pregnancy was handed to me and then taken away. We all got each other for support ๐Ÿฅฐ

EmPeEf · 20/09/2025 15:54

Hi all. I hadnโ€™t come over to the September group as I was just tired from the losses over the last few months. Just read through the whole thread; @LaurLou22 Iโ€™m so sorry your BFP turned out that way. I sent some love to your posts so Iโ€™m sorry if it brought it all back up again, and I know just how youโ€™re feeling x

I didnโ€™t track LH or BBT this month. We DTD twice a couple of days before predicted OV, but then decided to take a break to heal, focus on selling the house, and I was going to go back on weight loss injections. Looks like thatโ€™s not happening now! Fourth pregnancy in the last five months but Iโ€™m wondering if this one will stick, as the line came earlier and is progressing this time instead of being faint on 12dpo and just fading away? Itโ€™s been such a shock after making peace with putting it all on pause till next year.

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 15:58

@EmPeEf Awh do not worry at all and thank you for sending the love ๐Ÿ’• itโ€™s always appreciated xx

congratulations! I say that with joyful caution for you and hope that this is your time. Make sure you take it easy and allow yourself to feel all the feelings and have everything crossed for you xx

blackberryhill · 20/09/2025 16:07

Congratulations @EmPeEf - I hope this is the one, those tests look promising!

@LilacBow45 I know the Clear Blue date tests aren't always accurate but I've found them comforting too - did one today and was surprised to get 2-3 weeks as well, I was expecting 1-2 based on what I had with my son when I used one on the same DPO. Of course I'm now going to drive myself mad testing for the 3+...

Edited

Think Iโ€™ll be testing on the 24th ๐Ÿคช which is 10dpo for me

ForGiddyDreamer · 20/09/2025 18:28

Hi girls, I've been lurking a little to see how you are all getting on. @EmPeEf I'm so happy to see this progression ๐Ÿฅฐ I will keep everything crossed for a sticky bean for you โค๏ธ

Congratulations to all with their BFPs this week and good luck to everyone this month about to go into it or in the wait now. I hope you've been doing OK @Iris2024 Trying again after loss is so so difficult โค๏ธ

Muddysocks1 · 20/09/2025 18:53

This probably sounds mad and like Iโ€™m symptom spottingโ€ฆ but has anyone had twinges BEFORE implantation is possible (ie. Like 4/5dpo)?

I had some definitely sensations on the right side on both 4 and 5 dpo, Iโ€™m 6dpo today and felt some other sensations slightly lower down but still on the same side. I definitely know itโ€™s not implantation as too early (pre today at least, possibly today), Iโ€™m wondering if you can ever feel sensation with the egg travelling down? Or maybe itโ€™s the letrozole if my eggs are bigger or something?

Weโ€™ve been TTC a long time and so I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m just noticing normal symptoms, because Iโ€™m being hyper aware because itโ€™s been a while ๐Ÿคฃ

Marvelftw · 20/09/2025 19:21

@Muddysocks1 I have, but I always thought it was my body getting ready for AF or aches from having ovulated (I can get quite sharp ovulation pains).

Ah, I wonder if Iโ€™m just feeling more โ€œnormalโ€ sensations that Iโ€™ve not been having with weak ovulation!
