TTC August 2026

[inkgirl]

So I'm pretty much put this month, giving up all hope its happening this month. I know August is still a week away but thought I'd start a thread for the August TTCers.
How's everyone doing?

I'm sorry to hear that

we are trying not trying, so no pressure on ourselves, however, I can’t help but be excited to see the results 🙈
we dtd yesterday and today I have left ovary pain so really hoping it’s my ovulation as it’s typical pain for my ovulation. My cycles are a mess due to PCOS & endometriosis so here’s hoping.
we have 1 LO who is 4 and we are in our mid to late 30s so feels like a now or never scenario!

Looks normal to me for that dpo

I can just about see something

Same as me and my partner trying but not trying. He's almost 30 though where as I'm 38 so like you its now or never. But with my cycles still not have returned after coming off the pill I don't know what's happening

Did another test this morning and still just a v faint shadow so definitely just an indent, as expected. V early though so would have been unusual to get a positive already. I’m 7/8 dpo now so I’ll probably test until Thursday and then assume it’s not happened

When I conceived my first I hadn’t had a period in over two months. You can still ovulate and conceive without the bleed! Fingers crossed for you :) after I came off the pill I was a bit wonky, I still am! It’s been about ten months since I came off it. I had wonky periods before my first, they regulated post birth, then the pill threw it all out of rhythm. 🙈

This is how my positive looked for my first pregnancy at 9/10dpo! Congratulations ❤️❤️ I know it probably dosent feel real until you see the words on a digital in a few days ❤️❤️

Urgh here we are again in August.

If this month doesn’t work we’re going for tests/ ivf. It's weighing on my really heavily even though my bf has been so supportive. He is loving the long campaign I have to say haha. And he just keeps saying don’t worry if it doesn’t work we’ll have tests and ivf and if that doesn’t work we’ll adopt.

But still… it’s not the excitement I thought it would be it’s just so disappointing month after month.

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy @Babydustthisyear Thank yous ❤️❤️

Sounds like its some what normal for periods to be delayed after coming off the pill then. I remember when I came of the pill the first few times I had a bleed within a few days, not even had that. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow morning to see what my next steps are

I'm so glad to hear you have a supportive bf. I hope yoy get your positive soon

Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.

Thank you, not sure what to expect. Last time I had gone to the doctors about my fertility I had been trying over a year that was 14 15 years ago. This time its more because my periods havent returned. My boyfriend says if it turns out I can't have more kids we'll look into adopting

It's hard isn't it but thats nice you've got something to keep your mind busy. I would see it as the later you can test the moee accurate the result. Hope your son has a lovely birthday.

Cycle day 13, done CB advance yesterday got flashing smiley. Today it says peak, yet my easy@home is showing as 0.22 on premom😵‍💫 Will do another easy@home this evening to see.

Did you test again this morning? Fingers crossed for you!

Good luck / gentle congratulations to everyone testing today! 💐

It’s been 24 days since my MC and potentially 8 DPO going off CM. Had some light cramping on Saturday with very small amount of CM (after nothing for 8 days) felt okay yesterday and today the light cramping is back and feel like AF could arrive. Keep checking, but only CM again. If it is AF, I hope it arrives soon so I know where I am!

My premom app has been all over the place, had what looked like a near positive last night to go to a negative this morning

I did it looked lighter this morning

Hope you get some clarity soon

It’s not looking good for me, DH always wants to do the deed OUTSIDE of the ideal time.

when are you planning on testing? 🙂

Sorry to hear that its not looking good. Is it just outside the time he wants to DTD? My ex husband was like that for awhile when we were trying for our first

I’m going to get some tests later and do one tomorrow morning, as I was still testing positive last week from MC want to get another baseline to see if it’s lighter /negative now. Then I’ll prob do another one this weekend to check as a comparison, if AF hasn’t arrived by then!
