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.

@AndyBerrick84 hey lovely! Urgh I had some cramping over weekend and some today im due on Saturday. Now 9dpo and I had done a test this morning which was negative I know its still VERY early but I was hopeful for this month. I have sore boob's, some nausea and then the cramping. Cervix is still high but dunno if thats different or not haha!

@AndyBerrick84 I’m due AF this week also but not until Saturday/Sunday so only abt 6/7 dpo today, deff find myself paying more attention to notice any wee twinges but nothing so far. I felt so hopeful around ovulation but feel like nope deff not pregnant today 😞 I’ll try hold out testing until Saturday but we’ll see 😅 anyone testing over the next few days?

I’m exactly the same! Around ovulation I’m always so excited and hopeful, and can’t wait to get going. Then a couple of days before my period, the usual PMS symptoms kick in and I’m like, "Well, I’m out again!" 😂

I spoke to the doctor today and he’s putting in a referral for IVF. All of our tests have come back normal, and since we’ve now been trying for over 6 months. We can be referred. (we’re on cycle 9). I’m 38 and turn 39 this year, so I don’t have long before I reach the age cut-off, and I’ve got no idea how long the waiting list is.

I’m still really hoping it happens naturally for us, but I’m also aware that time isn’t exactly on our side. The thought of IVF is pretty daunting.

Ahhh, it's so frustrating. It's such a waiting game, and those few days before your period is due are always the hardest. Give it a couple more days and see what happens. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

We're being referred for IVF because of our age and the fact we've been trying for over six months. I'm still really hopeful we'll conceive naturally before we get to that point, but we're getting closer and closer to the 12-month mark now.

@AndyBerrick84 being referred is the start and might be that kick up the butt your natural cycle needs lol. Honestly though its hard what ever way we look at it. The waiting game is the worst and then you have the whole oh I done so much this month and still didnt catch. Its just a pain in my rear lol. Im trying to eat a bit healthier meals. I doubt my weight is an issue as I weighed myself this morning and im 65.5 kg so don't think thats am issue xx

So I woke up around 11pm dying for a wee even though I went at 9.30 lol. I stupidly thought let's pee on a cheap stick... well 12am me wishes she hadnt because I think i see a line and no one to ask lol

@ByAquaFox I can definitely see something! Maybe get a clear blue digital test this morning and check. You've got a lot of restraint I'd definitely have woken DH! Good luck!

My clearblue is also faint as hell.

@ByAquaFox my first clear blue test was v faint and it was my almost 2 year old ! The digital gives you a definite answer.

Eeeek, very exciting!!! 😍😍 Is it too soon to say congratulations? How are you feeling?

Congratulations @ByAquaFox! I could spot those lines a mile off before I even clicked on the photos! How many DPO are you now?

@ByAquaFox yip I deff see those lines, how many dpo are u? Congrats 🥳

Yess! Im honestly buzzing but wearing it very loosely! I've told my oldest daughter because shes literally my side kick and would start noticing me with nausea ect. Im 10dpo !

@ByAquaFox congratulations! How exciting! Can I ask if you did anything different this cycle?

@ByAquaFox ah lovely to tell someone in real life and share the excitement 🥰 esp with ur daughter, what age is she?

I had some twingy pinchy pains yesterday (@ roughly 7 dpo) so of course I’m now overthinking those 😅🫠 the next few days would want to go fast!

@Posypear this month we dtd quite a bit i can screen shot my month if you'd like. I also stripped back to no alcohol which was easy for me anyway as I don't really drink, only took vitamin d and folic acid.

@DmcinT yes I had similar on 6/7dpo so fingers crossed!

I see it!

With how faint they were i never expected the words to appear but here it is! ❤️

@ByAquaFox so great to see it in words, I dunno why but it makes it feel so real 🥰

keeping everything crossed but I know I’ve had that plenty of months and then af appears on time so I really shouldn’t read into anything (but I do 😂)

Huge congratulations 🎊🎉🎈😍

Congratulations!!

Ovulation day today! Time for the TWW 😊 how's everyone else doing?

@AndyBerrick84 how you doing? Any test done yet ?

I'm doing okay tbh for me the tww with a toddler is less stressful than the dtd window! I'm really busy and distracted anyway and I think I missed the right days. Last time I got pregnant cycle 2 so if I don't this month it will officially take longer than the first pregnancy!

I’m out again this month, period arrived bang on time!! On to cycle 10 🙈
