TTC May 2024 ✨❤️

@TTC1990 we're on the June thread now lovely, pop over!

Sorry @LindyMoe I’ve only just seen this. What did you decide to do? Personally if I had tested negative and had spotting I would assume I’m not and drink (my opinion though). Let us know how you are?

Hows everyone getting on? It’s my partners sperm analysis tomorrow. Typically started my ‘fertile window’ but we are going to have to wait until Wednesday to DTD!

Ladies I have a drinking dilemma

Period due tomorrow and I'm spotting brown today, never had it before but I guess it's natures way of telling me I'm defo not pregnant again.

Should I drink on my night out tonight or wait for full blown AF?

@TTC1990 will do, keep me updated here too.

@Irish812 doesn’t hurt to try it! Let me know how you get on :). Good to know it was easy to request, I’ll have to contact my surgery. Thank you x

@TTC1990 yes I heard it was for people with PCOS? Which I don't think I have. But I think I'll try it anyways for one month. I was getting my b12 injection which I have to get every 3 months with the nurse and I just mentioned I was ttc so she did bloods. Wasn't even chatting with Dr.

@Irish812 yes that what I’m debating next time! Although I’ve heard it’s more for people with PMS? Great you’ve had bloods done and all fine. Was this done with your GP? Mine did my bloods and hormones but not the 21 day progesterone one. Wonder if I should request it? X

@TTC1990 thank you I keep telling myself I'm one month closer and it helps! Yes we're both taking pregnacare vitamins. And I got blood done and all ok including 21 day progesterone. Going to try maca root? But heard it can mess peoples cycles but might try. You?

Sorry to hear but try and remember one cycle closer!

Are you taking any supplements @Irish812 ? X

@Irish812 ❤️

@RRAEE sending love ❤️ was really hopeful, 2nd month using conceive+ lube and first month using the ferti lily conception cup. Not sure what else we can try.

@Irish812 same here 😔 cycle 6/7 now

AF arrived this morning. Onto cycle #5 now.

Oh @Bb542 i completely get how you feel. I was in an awful mood yesterday, to the point I actually cancelled some meetings at work as I couldn’t face it. Just take some comfort in the fact the next day does feel a bit better and the hope does come back! Allow yourself to feel all the feelings and know it is completely ok to feel how you are x

Yep I'm negative this morning so just going to wait for AF and I'll see some of you in the June thread.

Off to work in the worst mood ever now 🙃💔

It really puts the pressure on doesn’t it @Bb542. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻. I’m still testing negative but no AF yet. Hate this waiting game. Probably see you guys in a June thread!

@TTC1990 we're also in the same boat with the wedding. We want to try have a baby before we get married but we really only have another few months before we'll have to stop trying 😢

I think I'm 9dpo and a BFN. I got a positive at 8dpo last time I was pregnant (ended in a miscarriage) so I think I'm out.

@Irish812 thank you so much. Keep us updated too! X

@TTC1990 yes exactly, thank you.

That's good to know. I'll be 1 year off the pill in Sept. Only started actively trying 4 months ago, but still could have happened before that. Keep us updated how you get on, and hopefully AF doesn't appear this weekend!

@Irish812 ah at least when it’s here you can move on! Mine is due Friday or Saturday but I’m also getting cramps so think it could be any day. Hope you’re feeling OK.

We’ve managed to get it through our GP! Not sure about my testing yet but my partners sperm analysis is covered. She is so lovely and I told her it will be around 6 months (by the time the appointment comes round) that we have been ‘trying’ but also it will be a year that we have been off contraception and not a actively preventing. She was very relaxed about it and said she would put a referral in to the clinic for us. I think we were just lucky!

@TTC1990 having cramps since last night so AF definitely will appear today (12 day luteal phase clockwork). Negative tests up until yesterday. So will be onto cycle 5. I got 21 day bloods done and progesterone came back normal. Are you doing the MOT testing privately? I'm sure my gp won't look at me until 1 year.

@Irish812 thank you, you are right! I think I just worry due to my age. How are you getting on? Has AF appeared? I’m 11dpo and getting negatives.

@TryTheNight ahh I admire you! I completely understand why you would just want to crack on. I think we’re going for a 2027 destination wedding, so we are buying ourselves some time. Where are you getting married?

My partner is going to have a sperm analysis at the end of the month. If that’s all fine, I’m going to book a fertility MOT. It may seem a bit early to be getting this done, but in my head it’s making steps towards something!

@TTC1990, oh the joys/stress of planning a wedding while trying to get pregnant. I'm in the same boat. If I get pregnant May or June, I'll have the baby before the wedding. If I get pregnant in July or August, I'll probably give birth during the wedding. Anything after that, I'll be pregnant at the wedding. 😂

People think I should skip trying for a few months, but since I've been trying for 4 years (and I'm already 34 in a couple weeks) and am finally making progress on letrozole, I'm just going with it.

@TTC1990 this is my 4th cycle actively trying to conceive first baby, so will onto 5th this week if AF arrives. With no prior pregnancies making me wonder if it will ever be possible. Take comfort in knowing you had a successful pregnancy before and fx it happens very soon, and your a month closer already! Xx

@Irish812 absolutely torture isn’t it!

This will be cycle 5 for us. If unsuccessful we will be moving on to cycle 6. I have a 19 month old son we conceived after 2 months. I naively thought it would be the same! I am 34 next month so a bit concerned about my age.

How about you? Is this your first?
