Late July/ Early August Testers!!!

[Trying4first1]

Hey all! So started spotting today so the witch is on the way. Boooooo!!!!! But hey, I'm not giving up!!!
I will be due AF again at the very beginning of August but will prob start testing end of July. Who's with me!? Xx

- Now in cycle 4 post D&C. 3rd cycle TTC

 

[Dandi]

I'm here! AF due sometime between July 28 - 31. Not planning to test until Aug 1st if AF hasn't shown.

 

[Trying4first1]

Hey Dandi! I'm not far behind you! AF due around 3rd August (ish) so will hold off as long as I can! This month I tested at 10dpo so next/ this month will see if can hold out a day longer at least so there is some progress lol. Serious POAS addiction!

 

[Dandi]

Me too, I always lose all will power and start testing at 10dpo. This month I'm going to be out of town though, so I hope that helps to keep me from testing!

 

[Lala77]

My AF will be due August 3rd... I will try VERY hard not to test before hand :0/ good luck and lots of baby dust to everyone!!!

 

[Trying4first1]

Snap, same here! Let's hope she does not arrive!!!! 😊

 

[Trying4first1]

How is everyone doing? CD4 here so feeling chilled out for now! AF pretty much stopped already just had the tiniest bit of spotting today so will prob be gone tomorrow. Still got two weeks until ovulation so just over a week now until the BDing begins hehe

 

[Dandi]

CD 6 here. BDing to begin this Friday. Still going to give it our best, but I'm sending husband for SA and I'm going in for hormone testing to see if there's any reason we have so much trouble getting pregnant. Since we're doing that I'm thinking of this month as a "just in case" month. I'm not going to get my hopes up though until we get our test results back and see what's going on. Still crossing my fingers though!

 

[Trying4first1]

Definitely worth your best shot! Hope you get some answers from the tests, if all is clear then that's fab!!! Have you had any testing before? I've only had a couple of day 21 tests and apparently they were ok. I now have to try and get pregnant again, if another MC then I'm eligible for tests, hopefully it doesn't come to that though. Also if no pregnancy in the next months then I would be too. This is such a long journey! I said to DH that I think after our first we will try for a second soon after, knowing how long it can all take and the heartache that can be involved. He agrees.
Are you doing anything different this month!? I'm still using opks and temping and hopefully will give SMEP a go! 😊

 

[Dandi]

This is our first step of testing. If no pregnancy in the next 3 months, I'm looking into fertility treatment, so I thought it would be good to have sine basic tests under our belt. I've added ubiquinol and maca back to my supplements and I'm going to keep using mucinex and preseed. I think we're going to take a SMEP break though and just do every other day this month.

 

[Trying4first1]

Yes defiantly is good just incase. Ohhh I've heard of preseed, I use conceive plus which I think may be similar? Other than my normal conception vitimins I haven't tried anything else yet. Will see how things go as its only our third month of trying post MC, if nothing after 6 then I will look into other options for sure.
I will prob end up doing the every other day as SMEP can be hard work! I did conceive my second loss that way, first time doing it but I think it was just coincidence to be honest. I think every other day should cover it. Will see how things go

 

[Trying4first1]

Hey! How is everyone doing!? CD10 here now so still about 7 days to go until ov. Me and DH BD this morning just for fun which was nice 😊 so will prob start every other day now so will start BD again on
Tuesday or Wednesday as dont want to start too soon and become worn out before ov occurs haha

 

[mummy2o]

I'll be testing 9th August I think. Not even going to bother waiting for first AF. I've had 2nd trimester losses since DD and I'm getting a bit sick of keep getting pregnant and nothing to show for it

So sorry mummy2o for your losses. From what I have heard they only make you wait so they can date the pregnancy. Me and DH waited after our second loss but don't think we would again. I know the feeling of the having nothing to show for it part. We have no children yet but I still have hope that one day it will happen for real and not just be a line on test being the only proof that I was ever pregnant. Stay strong x

 

[Dandi]

Cd 12 here. BDing every other day this week. Still no high opk, which is a little late per usual, but I'll keep testing and bd'ing anyway.

CD15 here after a early loss (5+6) last month, waiting for +OPK (usually CD18), was just going to wait for AF to show it's ugly head at the end of June so we can start femara next cycle but decided to just see what happens after reading that some do get pregnant again soon after a loss so BD just about every day to every other day.

We have been trying for a year now so I'm trying to see the early mc/chemical last month as a good sign but it still sucks and I'm terrified about how stressed I'll be next time that second line comes up.
They did preliminary fertility testing on us both and DH has excellent sperm count (doctor said there was no reason to wait 48 hours between BD) but I have hypothyroidism (well under control with NDT) and insulin resistance (on metformin). This month I'm going to try not testing until august but I have so many IC that I'll probably start testing 10 dpo.

Sorry about your loss. It is so disheartening. Defiinatley take it as a good sign as now you know that you can fall pregnant 😊
I have had two losses now and this is what I have taken from it all. We can do the first bit and that's great news! It's just getting the sticky bean now! X

I'm sure your positive OPK is just around the corner 😀 in starting my OPKs on CD12 (Tuesday) as I always ovulate later so bit early yet and no EWCM. We are now going to BD every other day and will defiinatley bed day of positive OPK and will try and do the day after too, which we didn't do last month

 

[Trying4first1]

Ladies please excuse me but I need to rant this evening..... I feel so awful. I have logged onto FB only to discover 3 more people are pregnant! Not joking that's about 8 people now since our loss. I have chosen to deactivate my account as I feel like all these Scan pictures are just bringing it all back to me and taunting me about what I cannot have I was ok until I saw this. I feel like such a failure when I keep hearing of so many others successes. Sorry to moan but I can't say it anywhere else and no one else understands. Needed to let it all out. Hope you ladies are feeling ok x

 

[everything]

I can rant with you, one of my best friends just told me that she is pregnant (they weren't even trying) and is due February 11th witch is the same due date I would have had and I guess I'm just that age where literally every other person on facebook is pregnant.

I'm trying to stay positive and I'm very lucky that my DH is very supportive and almost in more of a hurry then I am in to get pregnant again (that is saying a lot) but it just seems so unfair.
