Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

@monkeyy97 literally same thing with us but had 3 chemicals now! tried to have a break april and be more relaxed. I think its easier said than done though. SO back to tracking this month! xx

Me!!!

Had a chemical in feb and have been trying straight away since the bleeding stopped with no luck as of yet - out for this month as AF started although I was 4 days late so got my hopes up!
Ordered more clearblue opks as they worked the first time I got pregnant! Tried to take a more relaxed approach for March/April but no luck so back to opks 🤣

Msd2416 · 28/04/2021 09:56

@FayLiv me! We're going to try again in May literally crossing everything! xxxx

@Hopefulhedgehog

Hi girls, AF arrived for me yesterday so looking ahead to the next cycle. TTC baby #1. This will be cycle #4 for us. I’m taking a multivitamin and have started evening primrose this month. I have 27/28 day cycles but quite a short follicular phase - I normally ovulate on CD11. It makes for a very long 2 week wait (normally 16 days!). Good luck to everyone this month.
Good luck to you for next month too. We will get there eventually! 💪🏻

@keepingthehope

Hi girls, cd 5 after cp so hoping it doesn't knock my cycle out of whack as wanting to try again ASAP. Had 2 mc last year so needing all the luck possible x

@FayLiv What are DHA and co-q10? Not heard of those x

They are supposed to improve your egg quality and help towards conception. I'll try anything! I actually read about it from Luisa Zissman who was trying to conceive her girls and managed to fairly quickly I hear from using the vitamins she suggests www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647

I am due on tomorrow. I took a cheapie on Monday and I couldn't see a line so I'm guessing I'm out but I don't want to accept it until af comes 🤣

Me! AF has just arrived today 4.5 weeks after a MC so I am ready to get back to trying again. Really hoping this is my turn because I really hate pregnant people right now, and there are so many of them!

My birthday is also in May so I’m going to ask for a successful pregnancy too. Great idea!

LovelyLion3 · 27/04/2021 21:09

Me! Im 13dpo now and AF is due Thursday. Negative frer today so trying again in May! Baby dust to everyone! ✨

Good luck to you both!

I am really going to make more of a conscious effort next month as I'm so ready for another baby. I have 2 already but I have been fantasising of a 3rd for about a year or more!

This is my first time actively trying and using opks as both of my children were happy surprises.. I can't believe how tricky it can be!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞
If Af comes soon this will be the first time not using tampons as I've heard they're not helpful if you want to conceive.. I'll do anything! 🤣

If anyone's got any helpful advice send it my way! Xx

Me! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm just waiting for AF to come now too. Had quite a strong feeling I was pregnant this month due to bad cramps at 10dpo (which I convinced myself was implantation 🙄) did a FRER at 14dpo and annoying BFN. Have quite long cycles which are usually about 32-35 days.

This will be 4th month properly trying after a CP on Jan.

katewitch · 27/04/2021 11:45

Me!

We were NTNP for March and April but for various reasons weren't able to DTD at the right times anyway. This will be our first month making a conscious effort!

I have very long cycles (34-44 days) and am using soy isoflavones to promote ovulation which definitely worked last month, just not until CD 24...

Should be ovulating either the 2nd or 3rd week of May so we'll see how it goes! Smile
