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.

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

Everyoneโ€™s different so you never know :)

Hi! Iโ€™ve been lurking a bit but just entering TWW so thought Iโ€™d pop up to say hello.

congrats to those with bfps already. Keeping everything crossed for you all.

im feeling positive about our timing this month, but worried itโ€™s going to mean Iโ€™m devastated if itโ€™s not our month.

ive been trying to get to grips with bbt and opks and THINK I ovulated cd 12/13 (lh 0.95 late cd11 then dropped by evening of cd12 and bbt shot up cd14). I think Iโ€™m interpreting that right?!?!

we dtd cd 8,9,11,12,13 so if Iโ€™m right Iโ€™m hoping weโ€™re well covered.

going ti try and hold off until cd28 to test, but donโ€™t rate my chances ๐Ÿ˜‚

I hsd a mmc at 12 weeks earlier this year and a bit of a rollercoaster with an indent on a frer last month so want to wait and test only once the result should be really clear

@EmPeEf Oh my god darling congratulations I really hope this is it for you โค๏ธ

@ForGiddyDreamer Thank you for your words.. it is hard, so so hard. I should feel a step closer but I still feel so far away from it.

overwork · 20/09/2025 22:07

Oooh congratulations @EmPeEf. Donโ€™t things have a funny way of working out? I really hope this is your time.
@Digby86and @CityKity you are so right about holding off to test. I havenโ€™t any other month, and if this doesnโ€™t month work out I will go back to not testing until Iโ€™m late. I want a nice fast blazing positive to get really excited about, not a little squinter Grin

Haha - yes! Last month really messed with my head not knowing for sure either way and I donโ€™t want to go through that again. Weโ€™re off on an all inclusive hol cd29 though so I defo want to know whatโ€™s going on befire then ๐Ÿ˜‚

fingers crossed this progresses well for you ๐Ÿคž

EmPeEf · 21/09/2025 00:43

Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it.

Can someone have a look and help me work out my dates though? Took CD1 as first day of bleeding from my last loss. I didnโ€™t track LH or BTT apart from the 9th and 10th (FF had my predicted OV to be on the 11th or 12) and they were negative.

First positive would be 8dpo which doesnโ€™t seem likely, so I moved it to the first day we dtd. But it still puts it at 7 days before my next period was due, and Iโ€™ve had 29-31 day cycles for a few months. Do you think I just OV early and my period would have come early? Or is 7 days before totally within the normal range?

Could be an early ovulation - maybe you ovulated on 7/8/9th? You could have had your surge on the 7/8 and then ovulated 24-48 hours later so the LH tests would be negative and the egg would be there at the time you DTD on the 8/9th.

Thank you for replying. So do you think my period would be due tomorrow instead then?

EmPeEf · 21/09/2025 08:15

Thank you for replying. So do you think my period would be due tomorrow instead then?

Maybe, if you have a regular 14 day luteal phase. Mine are short and inconsistent (anywhere from 8 - 12 days) so I'm probably not best placed to answer!

overwork · 21/09/2025 08:41

Gosh this whole thing is a rollercoaster, woke up this morning and whoosh - my period has well and truely arrived and with absolutely no warning! So something odd happened with those tests. Either way, lesson learned, I will not be testing before my period is due ever again, itโ€™s not worth the confusion.

Marvelftw · 21/09/2025 08:57

@overwork oh no! Iโ€™m so sorry to hear that :(

Hi girls. I'm the same as For Giddy and have been quietly following along in the background. I'm delighted to see so many BFPs. It's so lovely. @EmPeEf I am praying and hoping that this is your sticky one ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโค๏ธ @Iris2024 I have been thinking of you. I hope you're doing OK x
@YKM2829 @overwork sorry to hear x
Best of luck to everyone still to test!

LaurLou22 · 21/09/2025 09:58

@overwork so sorry :( x

blackberryhill · 21/09/2025 10:11

Oh no - so sorry to hear that @overwork. This process can be brutal ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Iris2024 · 21/09/2025 10:13

Iโ€™m so sorry @overwork Keep positive for next cycle and a July baby would it be? Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll be there with you as canโ€™t see me catching off a miscarriage bleed and my LH tests have been dark all cycle.

@SureLook How are you doing with little babaa growing my love? Thank you for checking in. Since the miscarriage bleed all my LH tests have been dark so Iโ€™m confused. Iโ€™m roughly 8DPO today and feel under the weather with a cold.

@EmPeEf Id say CD13-14 is when you conceived. After my loss my LH tests have all been dark? Have you had that before?

Wifeymatters · 21/09/2025 11:20

The harvest looks good in this thread :) Patience toball ofnour TTCer as well!

ttcbubbanumber2 · 21/09/2025 13:33

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m joining this thread currently on first cycle of ttc and Iโ€™m on CD8.

Is anyone else ttc their second child?

I have PCOS and lost twins at 10 weeks before conceiving my son. Hoping for a smoother journey this timeโ€ฆ

LaurLou22 · 21/09/2025 13:34

@ttcbubbanumber2 welcome :) weโ€™re trying to baby #2 - Iโ€™m CD3 today. Good luck!

Thank you! Are you on your first cycle as well?

LaurLou22 · 21/09/2025 13:37

@ttcbubbanumber2 this will be cycle 2, looks like I experienced a chemical last cycle which was a rollercoaster, but hopeful for this cycle x

Staying hopeful for you too! Sorry to hear about your chemical last month. I always tell myself I should hold off until Iโ€™m a week late for my period to save the heartbreak but I still continue to want to test from 7dpo!

LaurLou22 · 21/09/2025 13:42

@ttcbubbanumber2 haha yes I will absolutely be holding off on testing until after a missed period this cycle, I donโ€™t wish to put myself through that again! X

I have PCOS so sometimes my periods come 3.5 weeks after I last started bleeding and sometimes my periods come 7 weeks after so itโ€™s so rough knowing when to actually test!

sorry if someone else has already answered but as I understand it opks can show as positive when youโ€™re pregnant, and it can take a while post mc for all your pregnancy hormones to go back to normal levels. So it might just be the opks picking that up. After my mc I was told pregnancy tests could still show as positive 2 weeks after the procedure
