September TTC thread 💛

[Marvelftw]

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

Well, there was a funny setback. I had the peak on my Clearblue advanced digital O test on Friday. Then had a little cramp ( I always have really bad cramps during O) and a little ewcm on Friday, so I thought, well, there's the ovulation! But Sunday morning, I woke up with the bad cramps, lots of ewcm (sorry tmi), bbt dip, and all the usual O business. 48 hours passed, so the O test was active again, took another, and it went straight back to peak! So I grabbed DH and dragged him to my lair! 😋😂 All that just to say, I guess NOW I'm 1 dpo. two more weeks of waiting, damn it! Glad I have you as tww buddy! 💖

@SureLook , @Muddysocks1 @Iris2024 Good to have you girls here as well. Let's hope this is our cycle. 💖

Hi all!
Currently abroad, back in town on the 18th. Prepping myself (and hubby) to actively start ttc, by taking supplements, tracking, exercising, eating healthily etc.

Still breastfeeding 14m pp, with pcos and no period. Thinking I had a chemical pregnancy
In February and July.
Very excited to be on this journey.

@Mash0917 Think I missed you in the previous thread! How long have you been trying?

@Angelyoga Good luck! I was taking a few supplements and changed my diet to prep for trying again too. Hope it pays off soon!

Yah we probably missed each other. :-p So nice to meet you. I've been ttc for my 2nd for 6 months now. Turning 36 in two weeks with endometriosis, and going all in every cycle.

Hey ladies! Jumping over from August thread. I'm 6dpo today. Not feeling particularly hopeful to be honest. This is cycle 10 of ttc and just feel like each month I feel less optimistic. Anyone else the same? Have got my fertility appointment in a week's time, so will see what they say and if anything more they can do, besides the blood tests and pelvic ultrasound I've already had.

@Iris2024I'm so so sorry 💔 it's so shit. I personally didn't wait a month, I ovulated on time the following month after my miscarriage. I counted the first day of my miscarriage bleed as CD1. And I caught straight away, sadly that was a chemical. I think my ovulation after that was maybe 2 days earlier. So keep that in mind. But no reason not to try straight away. The doctors at EPU said I could. Sending a great big hug x

@SureLook BFN this morning. The wait continues! Why oh why do we do this to ourselves 🙈🤣

I’d like to join please! Currently TTC no2, cycle 2 and 4 DPO 🤞🏼 good luck everyone x

Thank you @Mash0917

@ChaE05 Thank you hun, I’m stuck in limbo and I had cramps yesterday but no spotting or anything. Ive not had any blood at all since I found out over a week ago. I’ve woken today and nothing. I’m so confused.

Hi everyone, jumping over from the august thread as AF started today, feeling VERY fed up as this is our 14th cycle ttc #1, ive had bloods etc just waiting on a scan but so far everything is normal. Seems like absolutely everyone around me is pregnant right now, it seems like it is so easy for everyone else, im sure its not the case, but can't seem to get out of that mind set.
Hey ho, on to the next cycle we go, grateful to have all of you to rant to 😅

I think if you track your cycle it doesn’t matter so much about dating - I’m sure lots of women with irregular cycles and PCOS don’t have a 28 day ish cycle for that (going from last period)

12DPO and BFN so definitely out here. Just waiting for period now. So much waiting!!

@Iris2024with my chemical I knew it wasn't progressing as like you my tests were staying the same. I think I first tested about 13dpo and then exactly a week later started to bleed. Just in limbo until then like you say. Hope it won't be too long and you can just move onto the next cycle. Sorry if I've asked previously. Have you had a loss before? Xx

@ThisHangryTiger aww, sorry to hear that ❤️

@Iris2024 have you tested again? Could you ring the EPU for advice?

@LuckyDuck93 sorry to hear you're feeling fed up. It's a hard journey ❤️

@Muddysocks1 sorry to hear it's BFN ❤️

@LuckyDuck93i feel this 🤍 so fed up and constantly asking why I'm not getting pregnant. Everything coming back normal, but keep thinking surely something is wrong? Cut myself off from anyone pregnant around me. I just can't handle it. Also started to wonder at which point to look into IVF. A conversation Im dreading to have with OH. He's very much, oh it will happen it's just taking time. But the longer we leave it the older we get. So I know how you are feeling. Sending love ❤️

@ChaE05 honestly I think id have gone mad without these threads, its so easy to feel lonely when ttc. Mine is the same, although I think he would be accepting of us looking into it in the future, just waiting for him to have his tests done too and then can re-evaluate. I think its the hope that gets you every month isnt it, every month i say i wont get my hopes up, but by 11/12dpo im already planning pregnancy announcements 😆
Sending you lots of love too, we'll get there im sure❤

Hey everyone,

First time posting here. After feeling absolutely exhausted on the weekend, I took a test yesterday and another today. Going back through my clue app, I’m 12DPO today.

there’s lines but they’re so faint, I’ve done two Clearblue digitals and they both said not pregnant. Anyone been in a similar position? I just want to know whether to get excited or not 😩

Top one is yesterday 11DPO
Bottom is today 12DPO

Hi all, currently around 9dpo but didn’t do an opk or anything so could be out by a day or 2 either way. Though my cycles went back to regular very quickly after having a baby almost 7 months ago . They’re usually 27 or 28 days long and I’m on cd23 now !

i though i was closer to 9dpo yesterday and got an itch to test but of course it was completely negative (which doesn’t feel so bad knowing i was possibly only 8dpo 😂)

im so convinced im pregnant? Im noticing so many possible symptoms but have done since around 5 or 6dpo so I think im just delusional 🤣

good luck to everyone this month 🤞

@ChaE05 Thank you so much lovely, my head has been in the shed for a week now. I’ve not had a loss before. We have our daughter who is 6 and this was cycle 6 of trying again this year. I guess the silver lining is that we can still get pregnant 😢❤️

@SureLook I did one this morning and still faint line 😩😢 just waiting to bleed still.

@Mash0917 Haha nice to meet you too :p I’ll also be turning 36 in 5 weeks! TTC my first.

@ChaE05 I feel you, it feels so hard to keep going when month after month you get that no, but have to cling on to the fact that eventually we will get our BFP’s. Hope your fertility appointment goes well. I’ve got blood tests coming up soon.

@ajc1994 Good luck for the tww!

@LuckyDuck93 Ive definitely ranted at my partner the same thing (that people seem to get pregnant so easily around me) but as he rightly points out, we have no idea what somebody’s journey has been. I know it’s hard but have to keep pushing forwards! Feel free to rant away all you like though :p

@Iris2024 I’m really sorry that this is dragging out for you 😢

Well that's me out...my period has arrived scarily early. At only 6dpo marking it a 5 day luteal phase 😪 something clearly going on with my body. My luteal phase is usually 11 days. I also started spotting early last month at 10dpo before a heavy flow 3 days later. Never known a luteal phase so short. No chance of pregnancy with that. Feel so defeated right now. Hope they will do something for me when I have my fertility call next week xx

Hey gang, checking into this month’s thread. 1DPO today (I think) although need to wait for my BBT to rise tomorrow to be sure. Had a positive OPK on Saturday afternoon and some cramping yesterday, so I think I ovulated. Managed to DTD yesterday morning so fingers crossed for something to stick! This is cycle 2 of (properly) trying for baby #2 after giving it a few months of ‘not trying and not preventing’ to no success.

Fingers crossed for you all!

Lovely!! Good luck!
Do you have a gp call or private?

Oh no 😞 are you particularly stressed? I had a few months of mega stress at the start of last year and my luteal phase lengths were random, and they’re usually v regular. Hope the call goes well 🤞🏻

Just when you thought the TWW couldn’t get any longer… Glad it’s not missed and you’ve managed to make the most of it! 😂 Laughing at grabbing your DH to your lair - going to start using that line
