Ttc June/July 26

[theotherfossilsister]

I am out this cycle, anyone else want to join? Think I’ll ovulate around 29th June.

Ttc after an mmc and d and c in April, and took May off but think that was an anovulatory cycle anyway. Have a lovely three year old conceived through ivf.

@Hermioninny if you don't feel it hun just let this cycle be a complete reset. The heat here does not help. Its stuffy as hell! I need to start doing batch cooking because on these days where its so hot I do not want to stand over a cooker. Be easy on yourself lovely xx

This not knowing where I am in my cycle is so frustrating. My usual cups of tea tasted strange this morning and there are little spider veins appearing over my boobs but I don't want to test too early! Tomorrow obly marks 2 weeks since my implant removal so I think it must be wishful thinking! X

Af arrived for me this morning. Currently CD1 of cycle 10 but feeling surprisingly optimistic about it. I've gone and bought conceive plus in boots. Good luck but if no BFP we'll probably be cycle buddies this month.

AF arrived this morning for me so definitely cycle buddies! I know what you mean about feeling surprisingly optimistic, this’ll be cycle 3 after my MMC in April, but I’m feeling alright about it all at the moment.

Im waiting for my positive opk at the moment had a chemical in may and didnt fall last month. Im 40 next month with a 17, 15 and 13 year old but myself and hubby always said 4 so said we would try and see if it happens! I had the chemical first cycle trying so felt hopeful but now not so as thinking my age is majorly against me!!

We had to miss day 3 after positive ovulation test as DH was working late. It's so hard fitting in around a toddler and my DH's busy job! Hopefully we'll be covered anyway but annoyed we didn't follow SME plan properly.
Hope everyone is feeling okay!

I’m out, period started today heavy as anything with no warning beforehand lol - now onto cycle 9, not feeling very positive, just can’t see it happening before the year mark argh

So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my pregnancy at 4w and 3 days in January and although we only knew about it for a week it still hit me like a truck. I have every hope for the future for us both. Everything crossed for this cycle <3

@Posypear as long as uve hit O-1 and or O-2 / O I wouldn’t worry. I would think 3 days after peak is possibly past ovulation anyways so getting in before that is 💯 .
ive deff found getting key days tough with toddler too, just so many factors isnt there!

I am just around 2/3 dpo and so glad as we have a heatwave starting here, temps much higher than we are used to, dont think I could cope with having to dtd too 😅

need to try switch off now for a week or so

This is exactly how I feel. I could have written this expect I’m now cycle 10. The one year mark seems looming. My husband tries to think of it as like pulling straws and the more we pull out the closer we’re getting. Hope this cycle is the one for both of us x

Hi! I’m new here and am so glad I’ve found this thread! I’m 14DPO but have had cramping and spotting for past two days. My test today (attached) and yesterday have been sooo faint - I’m so confused does this mean it’s likely a chemical as there’s no progression and I have period-like symptoms? Cervix yday was super low and hard but today higher… it’s all so anxiety inducing!

If the left is yesterday and the right is today it looks darker to me. HCG takes 48 hours to double and also tests are not quantative so it could be lighter if you had more to drink one day than the other so try not to worry. I've seen plenty of stories of tests that were faint at this stage and continued in to healthy pregnancies. Have you only tested today and yesterday? Cramping and spotting can be normal in early pregnancy too. It's worth contacting your gp if you can as well because I think progesterone can help with spotting. Everything crossed for you!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply - really appreciate it! The photos are the actually other way around (dunno why it uploaded funny) - the left one is today and the right one yesterday… I tested once at 10dpo which was negative, then again yesterday and today.

It’s so hard not to get hopes up but also want to protect myself against AF showing up any time now…

Also I feel like everyone else’s BFPs before 14 dpo are so dark already so feeling scared about how faint these are!

@MacaroniPenguin486 maybe try clear blue? The cheaper tests can show up less

Thanks. Took another test this morning and it was much fainter than the previous two so much that I can hardly see it so sadly I do think it’s a chemical. Feeling quite sad but never mind. Baby dust to everyone for next month!

AF arrived today so im out this cycle

I just wamted to add that coverage of BD when fertile CM is around shows better pregnanxy success by X2. Compares to using OPKs and waiting on a + which can be too late. 2 or 3 days pre ovulation is better.

@MacaroniPenguin486 sorry to hear this - totally normal to feel sad. Sending you lots of strength
@MixedBananas that's good to hear as I think we actually missed ovulation day and the day before!

First cycle using OPKs. Managed to DTD cycle day 13 but not 14. Worth trying again today? Would have done day 11 & 12 but the 2 yo has been a koala bear in this heat.

Finally my lh levels are rising since coming off the patch on the 23rd June 😊
