June 2023 TTC Thread

@Snowdrop79 i can see the faint line let’s hope it get stronger and AF doesn’t show up :)) … I agree on the superheroes part!

@TS45 i see you use many tools you must be well aware of your cycle then, that’s already a big help but I agree after a while it’s better to consult and do some test on both sides cause sometimes there’s a small issue to resolve and without the knowledge of it it’s just too hard to make it happen, finger crossed it will happen soon :)

Hello
Can I join? TTC first baby.
Last month was first month of casually trying but this month I am on a mission!
CD1 today.
Use fertility friend for charting BBT.
Planning to use pre seed this month as struggle with CM. 🤞🏼

Just taken a test(actually two)🫣 both slightly pink but vvfl(within the timeframe), doesn’t come up well on my phone camera. I don’t know if I trust it. Have people had many indents on FRERs? BFN yesterday and days prior, AF due in 3 days. I applaud those who have been struggling to conceive, how you manage these emotions/waiting month in month out is beyond me. You guys are superhero’s.

@SouthSpringMoon ^ forgot to tag you in my reply to your previous comment but to answer your question, that’s what I do

I track using the premom app and I measure my BBT every morning and put the results into the app. I also use the premom OPKs and clear blue digital ovulation tests. We also use the sperm meets egg plan.
thank you. Good luck to you on your TTC journey

Hi everyone. only cd2 but marking my place and joining new thread for month #5 ttc.

Sending lots of baby dust. X

Hi everyone,
I'm on Cd 6 and 2nd cycle of ttc number 2.
I ovulated Cd 16 last month so should have a week to go for this month.
It took us nearly 2 years to conceive our daughter who is nearly 5 now.
Good luck everyone x

Hi everyone.
First cycle TTC #1. Started trying a month earlier than expected as boyf and I had a holiday and it fell when I was expected to be ovulating. CD24 at the moment. Didn’t do any OPKs(didn’t know they existed til taking a dive onto these forums). 12-14dpo I would expect. BFNs so far.
hoping for some luck for us all✨✨

@SouthSpringMoon I've also been using the premom app / you can upload LH strip photos etc

@SouthSpringMoon I've been trying using ovulation tests - I think I'd been timing BD around CD14 but in fact I tend seem to ovulate a bit later - when I'd given up!

@TS45 hey there! What method are you using to track your cycle and try to conceive? I hope you’ll get some answers or BFP soon

@Pittiemama indeed still early days let’s see how it goes and otherwise we might do 2nd cycle trying keeping in touch ;)

I tested it was negative its ok though because it super early 8/9 dpo and its only the 1st month trying since i stopped birth control (mini pill) still have some weird symptoms pulling aching so tired a very warm so we'll see 🥰

I’ll join. On CD 2. Good luck all. X

Hello everyone, hoping I can join in?
I’m on cycle day 1 today so will be testing for ovulation in the next week or so.
This is month 14 of TTC baby number 1 so it’s getting to be an anxious time and I feel quite alone! Having doctors appointments later in the month to see what’s going wrong for me.
Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle!

Its tough alright 🤣 very tempted to test today but dont want the dissapointment i think its still early 🙈

@Pittiemama jeez it must be impossible not to think about it then 🙈 me I’m getting a tad too paranoid about everything I do like food exercise etc like it could make a difference while I was in Disney world roller coaster with my first without knowing I was actually expecting … life eh 🤣

@SouthSpringMoon 😅😅due in 5 days but i came off thr pill 3 months ago this is my 2nd cycle its driving me mad because i work in a hospital in maternaty outpatients to be exact 🙈

@Pittiemama my last was also 6y ago and I don’t remember much before missing my period cause I was on holiday and partying like an animal 😆 now my life is much quieter (for the better!) and I’m a bit clueless… reading so many girls testing early and then having their AF and thinking about the disappointment part of me wants to try not to test early… when are your AF due?

Hey im i might test today cramps are gone but have a weird heavy feeling its been almost 13 years since my last so i forget all the signs and symptoms 😅 but the wait is driving me crazy

@123456789sw hello , haven’t tried any clear blue OPK strip I just use a machine Mira that I have been using so far to prevent pregnancy and now that we are trying I’m actually using it for its original purpose

Hello! Can I join you ladies?
CD3 today
Been trying a while for 2nd (38yrs old)
Been trying to monitor LH and ovulation more closely the last few months which I hope has helped timing
Anyone tried using the clearblue digital/advanced OPKs?

Joining here. Cd 3 today ovulation is in about 10days this is cycle 11 of ttc

Hi everyone!

Please can I join? This is my first month of actively TTC1 after coming off the pill a few weeks ago, so very new to it all!

Because we're only just starting out I'm not using OPKs at the moment - I'd never heard of them until I started browsing this board, same for BBT and LH?! Think I have a lot to learn... Have been taking folic acid though, cut down on coffee and given up alcohol.

I think I'm probably about 5 days past ovulation at the moment (based just on the aches and pains!) so nothing I can do for a couple of weeks really now, so hoping to just learn a bit more about the best things to do to give us the best chance at conceiving towards the end of June. Typical that the week we decide to start in earnest seems a day or two too late 😔
