TTC a Summer 2021 baby

[Princess Mom]

Anyone else ttc a Summer baby, I should be getting af tmrw. Didn’t conceived this cycle, my opks were a bad batch and o later than I thought and my attempt wasn’t right timed. Taking a ton of opks this cycle I do temp, but I had a chemical in August and wasn’t sleeping much so temps were off. Praying for a June 2021 baby! I always wanted a Summer baby, I have all cold months and would love to make Summer birthday parties! Looking for some cycle buddies to chat with

[Racey hoping pink]

Me and my hubby are trying, hoping and praying for a summer baby😊 sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. Hope you get a bfp very soon. I tracked with opks in july but never got my surge, we started ttc every 4 days in August but no luck yet, I'm currently on cd 10 so trying to stay positive for this cycle.

[atomic sagebrush]

Good luck!

[Slingers]

I wish I could join. But I still have 7 weeks on the diet to go. Would August/September still count as a summer baby?
Good luck this cycle!

[diliela2019]

We are trying for an end of Summer baby! Either trying in 7 weeks or 11 (I go back and forth daily) Been on the diet and exercise almost 5 weeks and have lost 7ish lbs!! Would love to chat with others as I don't really have anyone to chat with about it!

I had another long period ugh today is spotting brown n yesterday so it’s done. I’ve read it normal after a loss. Going to call my doc just in case. I’m on cd 10 will start testing with opks also temping but my sleeping sucks. I started working first time since being pregnant w my first dd who is now 11. So my mind is clear and I’ve hardly been thinking about it much. Trying to not obsess, I always get pregnant fast, so I know I will be pregnant again. It’s just this damn spotting. Which I had before my dd who now 3 it took few cycles to get normal then I conceived her. But going to call doc to double check


Good luck everyone

So sorry about your loss!
I'm also trying for a summer baby and praying for a girl! We have 3 boys and we thought we were done. But we've had a change of heart and this was our first month TTC. I'm currently in the TWW and can hardly wait to test! I'll be 10DPO on Wednesday and may take my first test then even though it's early! I'm impatient :noaf:

[atomic sagebrush]

A chemical in August shouldn't still be causing long periods.

Are you on any supplements??

[Princess Mom]

I was taking prenatal with red rasberry which I know sways boy doc said not to take any herbs. I did spot before my dd also and after he says must be normal for me and once I become pregnant spotting will stop, which again happened. He says it normal after a d&c and shouldn’t effect me becoming pregnant. I shouldn’t of started supplements without my doc. Hoping I can still conceive this cycle I should be ovulating by the weekend. I’m not active bleeding anymore yesterday and today some brown here there mixed with cm. I always forget to take prenatal anyway I just cut it out, I hardly eat any fortified foods, or high protein. I haven’t ever.

Just feeling like this cycle a no go, not even thinking about it. Today first day I have I’ve been super busy with my oldest son’s football games traveling to games and also working. Actually like being busy keeps me from sitting home depressed, I’ve always conceived pretty fast so I’m sure it will happen soon.

[Princess Mom]

Best of luck!!!!!

[Princess Mom]

Just got a flashy smiley I haven’t had one for months! Yay seems my body must be getting back to normal after all! Praying for a June rainbow baby

[Slingers]

Good luck :cheer:

[Princess Mom]

So I called my doctor that delivered my DD and he said I will have an ultrasound done and lab work if I’m not pregnant this cycle. Sometimes our bodies take a while to adjust after d&c usually 3 cycles. I’m on my 3rd so I will see what happens. Not hopeful this cycle with the spotting. Going on birth control isn’t an option so hoping everything goes back to normal or I may need progesterone

[atomic sagebrush]

Keep us posted and let us know what you find out!

[Princess Mom]

Do you know anything to take for low progesterone or would that not be a good idea? I’ve read b6 or creams can help just scared to take

[vicz2001]

Yes Im here with you girls! First month of trying this month - timing i think was good as BD the day before a strong positive OPK, fingers crossed!! But would be very lucky getting a bfp after month 1! Good luck all! :)

[babygirl1]

Hi ladies!

I’m trying for a summer 2021 baby as well! My hubby and I just had our first attempt a couple weeks ago but my pregnancy tests have been negative. I’ve been on the PCOS le diet for 15 weeks now. I also take clomid. I was really hoping to have gotten a positive this cycle but it’s looking like I need to wait for AF to come to try again. I think next cycle I’m going to do the trigger shot while on clomid to time ovulation a little better if we can. Hoping you all get BFP soon or when you begin trying! So nice to have this support group! [emoji175]

Vitamin B6 actually messes stuff up far more often than it helps. It ends up delaying or even stopping ovulation, and in many cases does absolutely nothing to fix the short LP. It also may sway blue for some people (I got my 4th boy taking it)

Progesterone has been shown in some really good studies done by reputable sources like Harvard, to do nothing. People had the same rates of getting and staying pregnant with and without it. It's fine if you want to use it (and many doctors still prescribe it just to look like they're doing something) but it is really not a magic bullet at all, and is likely just a placebo. A normally developing pregnancy will typically make all the progesterone it needs to sustain it, and if progesterone is low, that often means you aren't pregnant or the pregnancy wasn't working out anyway.

Over the counter prog cream is useless anyway. It is made for postmenopausal women to use, not pregnant women, who need much much more.

Sorry if I've said this already but I need more information. What is your BMI? Have you lost weight recently? How many cals and grams of fat are you eating?? Are you taking fiber or any other supplements? Exercising and if so, how much?

[Princess Mom]

I’m 5”6 120 now I did lose 10 pounds my chart looks good this cycle and no more spotting since o , I take fiber here and there I’ve been busy working and totally forgot about supplements this cycle 42869

[atomic sagebrush]

At that BMI I don't want you to take fiber. Drop it totally. No more weight loss.

[Princess Mom]

Okay I won’t restart it. I’m now 11dpo and had brown spotting negative test. So praying this new cycle will be normal and looking forward to my doctor appointment.

[atomic sagebrush]

Are you doing the full fat dairy, eggs, salmon combo?

[Princess Mom]

I honestly don’t eat none of that. I’m pretty busy and don’t eat a full meal. I sometimes eat chicken though I did with my dd sway tiny bit. I’m on cd 4 and this new cycle seems so normal and praying it is and I conceive this month. I’m not doing any supps I think it made everything worst. I only have folic acid wasn’t able to find folate I’m taking two a day

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, you may want to start. I am worried you're not getting enough of the right kind of fat to help you continue ovulating normally.

Chicken doesn't work. It is pretty low fat. Even if you could just do some full fat dairy on occasion it would help.

[Slingers]

Hi Princess mom, looks like we are going to try in a couple of weeks. I am doing the diet and excercise for 9 weeks around that time but doubting if is long enough but on the other hand if we don't try then I doubt if I can handle 4 or 8 weeks on it. How are you doing aside grom the strange spotting?

[Princess Mom]

Pretty good my cycle seems more better this time I go to doctor tomorrow for scan. Just trying to not over think I usually get period first time only time took while was ttc my sway dd because I had the same issue. Best of luck to you! Ur doing great!

[Princess Mom]

Went to my doc today everything went good my ultrasound was normal. Tech pointed out follicles in my ovaries, first time I ever seen that, so amazing. Did blood work etc. my demorid cyst I have since my first pregnancy in 2006 always goes from 3 cm to 5 cm. Doc said I can have it removed if I wanted to she advise is but most likely after I have another baby since I have it for long time. Right now it’s not causing issues and I don’t want to delay ttc

[Princess Mom]

Cd 12 why would I get solid smile I’m so confused I didn’t ever get one so early, cd 13 today empty circle so confused then tested again solid smile. So strange. Well I’m beyond confused I bd around 1 am, so I will see what tomorrow brings. I noticed they past months I get on pains around cd 15-16 which is my normal to o but I get o pains on my temp rises

[atomic sagebrush]

It's very common to see changes in cycle when swaying. It is definitely possible to surge CD 12 for CD 14 ovualtion.

[Princess Mom]

Deff ovulated, didn’t think I would early so I do have two attempts but I’m not worried I’m not doing good with one attempt

Strange thing is since my loss my first response opks get a tad bit darker than control line before they used to get way darker , and now last cycle and this cycle I have a huge 1dpo spike where I haven’t ever had that like ever usually slow rise

[atomic sagebrush]

I still want 3 temps as you're still not above 98. I can't confirm O on one temp

[Princess Mom]

I have not had any ewcm for last few cycles only watery .

[atomic sagebrush]

Watery is considered fertile. YES that does look ovulatory now!

[Princess Mom]

Had high hopes this cycle but got bfn
Had little spotting today already, so I think my body still is not back on track
All my blood work is good thyroid. My lining on cd 8 I was when I had ultrasound was perfect size. I am thinking what if I need clomid? One thing I notice I always used first response and clear blue and now my first response line test opks always got extremely darker than control line now it gets maybe tiny bit darker u think maybe I’m not ovulating strong enough? I always conceive my first tries! Only time it would take 3 cycles was after a loss.

I’m so fed up. But this month I had some issues with my teeth, I had a ton of X-rays this past week. I think I should just go back to a vitamin. I think stress has a lot to do with my cycles still being messing up. I feel better emotionally than I did before.

[atomic sagebrush]

Let's give it another couple days. I think it's possible you ovulated later than you think (CD 16)

You can't tell "how strong you're ovulating" on the basis of the color of your OPK, if that is even a thing, which I have long doubted. it's fine if you want to try Clomid, but I don't think that a lightish OPK is a reason for that.

If you feel like you need a vitamin please just do it 3x a week instead of daily.

[Princess Mom]

Thanks my period started started ,off spotting and today getting a flow I haven’t had any ewcm the past two months. I did try little preseed didn’t work, I read it can kill sperm not sure how true it is. Going to call my doc Monday see if their willing to do testing to see if I need clomid.

[atomic sagebrush]

Preseed doesn't kill sperm, it may slow them down for a moment compared to natural EWCM but it doesn't kill them like other lubes.

FX for Clomid!

[Princess Mom]

wow that's great news! Congrats to your son and happy birthday to your daughter!

[Princess Mom]

Thanks I’m 12dpo now test is super dark not testing anymore. Might go in today for betas but not sure if it too early I have an appt for Monday for betas that would be 17dpo. I might go in today to talk about me flying next week I’m not sure if I can? If not I will have to drive w my husband which sucks cuz my son goes on plane with his team

[ksmom]

Congrats on your BFP! I wouldn't worry about flying. I flew when I was early in my pregnancy with DS3 and flew again with him around 14ish weeks. It's really only late in pregnancy they tell you not to fly...like 36+ weeks since there's the risk of going into labor and nobody wants to give birth on a plane! lol

[Princess Mom]

inam going in today for betas now. The nurse told me oh it’s not safe. I totally understand yes it not safe because of the pandemic. That wasn’t what I was asking I asked if it safe for myself and my baby. It’s annoying to be told oh stay home because of a virus. Come on! I been traveling weekly with my son for his football games to Indiana. I will not miss out on this huge opportunity moment in his life he worked way too hard for this. If I have to have my husband drive us to Orlando I will drive. I just want to know it safe for my baby and me to fly not anything to do with covid

[Princess Mom]

Doc said I can fly it no risk the nurse was meaning it on covid.

[Princess Mom]

Betas came back good for 12dpo I was at 88 and progesterone 20 doctors are not in till Monday so I’ll prob have another draw Monday :)
freaking out about flying I’m scared it will interfere with my pregnancy I hate feeling scared

[atomic sagebrush]

Just remember most people didn't even know they were pregnant a couple decades back and were doing all sorts of things!

[Princess Mom]

Thanks doc said it safe for pregnancy to fly just take extra precaution for covid which I do everyday this year
