Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in May 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of April to May ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

@TTC1990 me too, I just hate the guessing and unknown in the TWW and symptom spotting like crazy. How many months are you ttc?

TTC1990 · 13/05/2024 12:57

@Irish812 you’re right, still so early. At times I thought I saw a shadow but think it’s my eyes playing tricks on me. I hate the waiting game!! Fingers crossed for you. I actually find it a lot easier to process when I just have answers x

Irish812 · 13/05/2024 12:41

@TryTheNight thanks! I'm either 10 or 11 dpo today and still looks negative. I'm due AF wed or Thursday so I'll know either way then.
@TTC1990 I'm not sure how to contrast sorry. Keep testing it's still early. Not sure if it's lighting, but I might see the tiniest shadow.

TTC1990 · 13/05/2024 12:06

Thank you so much everyone! The thing is, we want to have another baby before the wedding so as lovely as it is to be engaged and now like ahh need to get pregnant asap!

Just took a test thing morning 9DPO and looks negative to me. Anyone able to do the thing where they adjust the lighting to see if there’s a hidden line I can’t see?! My temp also dropped this morning. Just getting exhausted with it all now!

@Bb542, I'm glad you're well! I've been ok. I'm sitting in the beginning of the tww. Letrozole has had horrendous side effects this month, so I never even had the energy to do ovulation tests. 🙃

@Irish812, it could still be too early to test, so it doesn't mean you're out by any means! 🤞

@LindyMoe, it sounds like you're setting yourself up well this month! My fingers are crossed for you. I'm still trying to find the calm. 😂

@TTC1990, congratulations! They say that sometimes letting the stress completely go and not thinking about it can really help. Either way, ENJOY this fun time! 💍

LindyMoe · 12/05/2024 15:36

@TTC1990 huge congratulations!!! 🥳

TTC1990 · 12/05/2024 08:04

Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been quiet too. We actually were in Rome last weekend and got engaged! Safe to say I drunk wayyy too much and now over thinking things that that may have affected things this month!

I’m 8DPO. Haven’t even thought about testing yet. No symptoms apart from feeling exhausted…but I have been busy.

Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🏻xx

Congratulations on your engagement 🩷🩷

RRAEE · 12/05/2024 09:40

@TTC1990 Congrats on the engagement 💐

Irish812 · 12/05/2024 09:21

@TTC1990 huge congratulations on your engagement 💍 fx this is your lucky month, they say relaxing helps which is great to hear!

@TryTheNight I was thinking that. Maybe the sunshine has given us all a bit of mental reprieve? I feel strangely calmer this time around. Ovulation is supposedly today, and we DTD the last few nights.

How are you?

Irish812 · 11/05/2024 10:47

Hey, I'm 9dpo today and bfn this morning. Feeling deflated! How are you guys feeling?

Bb542 · 11/05/2024 10:33

I'm doing well. 5dpo today! How are you?

TryTheNight · 11/05/2024 09:29

Hope everyone is doing well. It's gotten a bit quiet on here this month.

Irish812 · 01/05/2024 00:09

@Bb542 first baby too!! Might be even more relaxing being away during fertile week to DTD. I just got a static smiley this evening on CB digital cd10. I test with FMU and it was flashing but just got the urge to test after work and at 6pm it was static. So DTD tonight and will do tomorrow and next day if possible. I'm cycle #4 so really hoping this is our month.
@ttcjourney20001 It's not stark white to me, but not sure if I see a line either. Best to test in a day or 2. Fx for you!!!
@TTC1990 BBT is the only way to know you actually ovulate so if it rises for 3 days straight it confirmed ovulation. I've heard some people just don't get positives on opks.

LindyMoe · 30/04/2024 23:43

@Hopeful2024may you're not out till AF so there's still hope

What's really weird is that with my toddler... I knew I was pregnant before I even tested. My brain told me + I dunno how. Every cycle trying for no.2 has said nope

Sigh

LindyMoe · 30/04/2024 23:40

@TTC1990 yes, seeing AF has thrown me but given this will be cycle 4 it's like I forget the optimism and absolute mind **uk from the previous cycles!

Shag week commences after the bank holiday. Reaaaally hoping this is our month ladies

Bb542 · 30/04/2024 21:45

Irish812 · 29/04/2024 22:36

@Bb542 yes, what gave it away lol 😅 hopefully some Irish luck this month! Sorry to hear about your MC, hope you're doing ok. Is this your first baby? When are you due to ovulate? We can be TTW buddies!

Thanks so much 🥰 I'm doing ok. We're TTC our first baby. What about you? Due to ovulate day 16-17 so next Monday/Tuesday I think 🥹 we'll be abroad so hoping we can make it work. What about you? Xx

Hopeful2024may · 30/04/2024 20:00

Hi all, new to the group. Sending you all baby dust. I am currently 11 dpo. I have nausea and so much saliva. My last baby was 7 years ago so I can’t remember if I had this. I tested today (multiple times) and got bfn. I can’t help but feel I’m out this month

@ttcjourney20001 it’s soo hard not to get carried away though isn’t it! Please keep us posted. I love hearing success stories! X

I'm thinking try again on Friday, I'm gonna try my best to hold out, but so far all I see is a tiny little shadow
Let's hope for success 🫶🏼

@ttcjourney20001 hey! I’m still hanging around haha. Had a month off last month and back to it this month. Feeling a bit more optimistic after a break strangely.

I feel like there could be a shadow but really couldn’t say for sure! Really got everything crossed for you!

I thought I'd have a break this month just cause it's so exhausting until I got a really bad headache last night and felt sick this morning couldn't help myself. I think I see a shadow but also not jumping for joy just yet as it could be an indent. Praying for our new year babies 🤌🏼🤌🏼🫶🏼xx

@LindyMoe ah it’s so hard isn’t it. Although just remember even when you do everything right, it’s about a 20% chance each cycle. I fell month 2 with my son, I’m now on cycle 5 of trying for no.2. I think it is luck of the draw sometimes!

I always feel the worst after seeing AF but the optimism will return :).

@ttcjourney20001 It’s so hard to tell from pictures but potentially I can see a shadow?! Definitely do another in the morning!

I remember you from the other TTC threads!! How's it going for you? I'm trying not to drive myself crazy with seeing lines. I did a couple of tests and I swore I saw one
