June 2023 TTC Thread

Hi everyone!! Can I join?
2nd month TTC with my 2nd baby. My DD is 18mo so I'm hoping for a 2 year gap between them.

Baby dust to everyone!!

@Pandabumbles aww that's great we'll be testing at similar times! Oh tell me about it the weeks normally fly by but these last few days are the longest days in the world 😂

@PineappleK @Silverpixieflorence I'm 2DPO and sooo impatient. Days suddenly seem much longer than they did pre TTC! Ha. Glad to have some TWW buddies!

@Caths456 aww congrats on your BFP that's amazing 🥳😍 how are you feeling?

I'm so impatient in the TWW I'm only 3DPO but I've been feeling sick all of yesterday and today, there was a small part of me that was like ooh is this morning sickness even though I know it's completely impossible this early 😅 then about an hour ago I started being sick non stop 🤦🏼‍♀️ definitely a bug!! 🤢

@Caths456 fingers crossed for a sticky baby bean!

I thought today was 1DPO as my BBT spiked but this morning had an abundance of EWCM and couldn't find my cervix it was so high! So I'm sure tomorrow will be 1DPO and I'm already anxious to get testing 🙈 anyone else super impatient like me?

Amazing @Caths456 ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly I’m not sure? Flo says I ovulated on the 29th of May, but my cycles have been 28/35 days in length. Not sure where that puts me. Had extremely faint lines on Tesco own brand and couldn’t decide so went and did the digital clear blue.
I have a a boy who’s 2 since April and a girl who’s just turned one, if this sticks I’ll be due in February. I’m so shaky.

@Caths456 congratulations! How many DPO did you get your pos?

@Caths456 congratulations! Lovely to see a BFP! ❤

Congrats @Caths456

Caved. I am shook.

Right? Every single time. I was oblivious with my first until like 3/4 days after my period and went straight to a digi and showed pregnant 1-2… the second time Around I had the faintest positive around 12 DPO?
this time I don’t even know 😂

Worth a try I reckon.

I remember being frustrated about mine and almost wishing I hadn’t tested at that point because it wasn’t conclusive, but equally, now I’m TTC again I know I’ll do the exact same thing every month. So impatient 😆.

I had negative first response tests but I haven’t used one since Thursday. I guess it might be positive if I am by now? I’m not sure. I def feel a bit off, very cramps for qell over a week now which is unusual ?

so do you think maybe it’s not an evap? There’s 100% colour in person hut just not sure if it’s an evap? I know it’s not an ident. I’ll try get a digi today and use it tomorrow maybe?

@Caths456 i think that’s a really good sign on a 25 then! My first BFP with my son was similar and that was on a 10 :)

Thanks so much for replying 🥰 they’re 25mlu, I specifically searched for an indent line too before I took it and they only one I could see was the control line… it is def pink in person but I think I’d have to wait 3-4 days for a digi if I was positive.

@Caths456 i’m not sure how sensitive the tesco ones are. I definitely see something but it isn’t clear enough to be certain. I’d probably wait 48hrs then do one with FMU. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Hi ladies, could I please join? I’m 3 days out from my AF, not 100% on that as I can have 28-32 days cycles. I’ve been burned so many times with evaps as you’ll see on other threads. I took a Tesco cheapy today and this came up in the time frame which is 5min as per the instructions.
can someone please clarify for me, I don’t trust any tests anymore after so many dodgy FRERA 😕
I have my fingers crossed for you all. It can be so hard every month holding out hope😔

How are you holding out for tomorrow?!
I keep feeling like I have dull period pains so reckon ill be disappointed tomorrow. Might not even bother and just wait for AF

@Kitty12345678 I'm so sorry for your loss. I had an mc at 8 weeks in March and I've also been obsessing about getting pregnant again. We did everything right with my first ovulation after the loss but weren't successful and I was devastated. I think it's normal for us to transfer a lot of the emotion around the loss onto ttc again. I'm currently in my second tww post mc and feeling a bit calmer than first time around.
It sounds like you and your dh are dealing with a lot. I hope you're able to be kind to yourselves and look after each other in this difficult time.
I understand that dtd up to 5 days pre ov and 24 hours post ov can work so it doesn't sound like you should be worried about bd timing. Good luck this cycle, baby dust to you

@Kitty12345678 poor you sound like there's so much going on for you and DH right now. Completely understand about feeling back to square one. Try to remember it only takes one sperm and plenty of people have got pregnant from dtd once in a month. I know what it's like though when you're trying to do everything you can! We've only managed a couple of times this month because we're both knackered. If you think you've ovulated and bd very recently you're probably clear to call it a day for this month and see of AF comes along to take pressure off yourself. We'll actually be in the TWW together! Be kind to yourself!

@Pandabumbles thanks so much for your reply. So sorry to hear about our Mc too. It’s the worst as you feel back to square one again after so much hope. I’m glad to hear you conceived again. I really hope it can last for about 24hr.

It’s just so confusing as anything I read online is contradicting. Some say if you bd on the day of ovulation you have less chance as you could have missed it if the sperm isn’t waiting for it. Others say when you get the ovulation pain it’s just about to happen.

It’s really hard right now if my husband is very depressed after the Mc and his mum is close to passing away, so he won’t BD every second day. Tracking is stressing me out but it’s the only way. I feel I need more precise ways of testing as the ovulation strips aren’t giving me any buildup to ovulation, then surprise ovulation. Temp tracking is a nightmare too 😔

@Kitty12345678 welcome to the thread and so sorry for your loss. Re ovulation, when you ovulate the egg can last for up to 24 hours I think, so you should be covered if you did just ovulate when you dtd and cervix should still be open. After MC it can take a bit of time for everything to settle again. I had mmc in January 2021 and I remember well the absolute desperation to get pregnant again straight away and I really struggled when it didn't get pregnant again immediately as I assumed I would. It took a couple of cycles but then did conceive DS. Wishing you all the luck and baby dust to you x

@HyggeTyggeDotCom if my test at 12 dpo Monday is a BFN I think I’d give up on this cycle but in a way you are so right sometimes we also slightly miscalculate and as long as AF in not there there is always hope!! I don’t particularly feel pregnant but then again I didn’t feel like it either the first time around so who knows!
