Ttc may 2024

I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

@soymilknosugar welcome! I'm also not OPK testing this month so we'll see how that works out 🤞🏻

@emmatcc1 so glad to hear he's doing better x

@emmatcc1 glad to hear he’s doing better

@soymilknosugar welcome!! I don’t do ovulation tests I find them very stressful I roughly know when I ovulate with the signs!

@Bb542 He’s doing much better now, thanks for asking😊
I’m the same with tests, literally thinking right now if I should order some.

Bb542 · 29/04/2024 21:52

@emmatcc1 I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 how is he now?

@soymilknosugar welcome 🥰 I'm cycle day 9 so we're very similar. Sending baby dust to you!

I swore I wasn't going to buy ovulation tests this month... guess what's arriving from Amazon tomorrow 🙃

soymilknosugar · 29/04/2024 12:58

Hi all I'd like to join. Sorry to hear of losses, I had a MMC also in 2021. I now have dd who's 18 months and just finished my first period since coming off the depo injection, so on CD8 currently. Hopefully this means I'll ovulate in around 10 days if my cycle is going back to normal. Going to try a month with no ovulation testing etc to see what happens. Fingers crossed for everyone!

@emmatcc1 hopefully that helps! Like @ThelastRolo20 says it might be a good sign nothing obvious is showing up and hopefully it is something if nothing!

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 29/04/2024 12:37

@TicklishDreamer@ThelastRolo20 Yep all clear. They did x-ray, CT and ultrasound and everything’s fine. They’re gonna flush his intestines and see if it helps, if not they’re probably gonna send him home.

ThelastRolo20 · 29/04/2024 12:33

@emmatcc1 oh that sounds so worrying I'm sorry. They've ruled out things like appendicitis? In a way it can be good nothing too obvious is showing up! X

@emmatcc1 im so sorry he’s in so much pain and nothings helping! What are the doctors suggesting! 😞

Really struggling here, my partner has been having unbearable abdominal pain for two days now and all tests and scans are clear. I’m really anxious for his health, don’t know what to do since no pain meds are helping.

Noisinmaro · 28/04/2024 20:53

@Bb542 with my second it took us 6 months to fall pregnant and we didn’t touch each other for about a month just enjoyed going to sleep with no pressure 🤣

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 19:17

@Bb542 oh that sucks that they’ve got longer hopefully they sort themselves out and go back to normal soon! I’ve always had short cycles I’m lucky my miscarriage didn’t change that!

I will be entering my fertile window next few days which is exhausting 🤣

It's so exhausting 😅 I remember the month we got pregnant we were so exhausted but had to keep going 😂 good luck to you 🤣

@ThelastRolo20 oooo your entering the TWw then! 🙈
@Bb542 how long are your cycles! I’m lucky I have relatively short cycles of 25 days so I ovulate around day 11 usually!

@Objectiontime my periods became lighter post mmc! It is so frustrating trying to get pregnant I hate it! No more babies for me after this one!

My cycles are usually 28 days but since the miscarriage I've had 2 cycles and they've been 30-35 days 😫 I normally ovulate around day 16/17 but it'll probably be day 19/20 this time 🤨 sounds like you're going to ovulate sooon 😍😍 sending lots of baby dust 🩷

jellyfish2 · 28/04/2024 14:39

@emmatcc1 my partner is the same. What will be will be! I've always said I'd like 3 but after the MC I'd be happy to just have one more.

emmatcc1 · 28/04/2024 14:36

@ThelastRolo20 I actually want 3-4 if given the chance and if not then at least two. I feel like every kid needs a sibling.
@TicklishDreamer I think kids just love babies, I remember being that way when my mum was pregnant.
@jellyfish2 That’s exactly how I feel. Also no twins in our family and I didn’t feel that was last pregnancy but something just clicked in my head and now I want twins. My partner on the other hand is very much against it. My SIL has three kids and he always says there’s no way he could handle multiples.

@emmatcc1 my eldest wants us to have twins he’s obsessed with the idea of twin brothers I have no idea why! 🤣

congrualations on the house! Don’t worry about the move and Ttc I’m sure it will all work out fine!!

I’m 6dpo and starting to get some twinges and some cramps? On the other note we sold our house making us one step closer to our dream home. I’m so anxious how will we handle ttc and building a house, I’m really hoping this doesn’t postpone ttc as I’m desperate to be pregnant again.
Also do any of you wish for twins? I don’t know why but I totally see us with twins.

I keep thinking I'm destined for twins and have no idea why 🤣 they don't run in our family and I know it would be so hard especially having a toddler already but somehow I'd like them anyway!

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 14:12

@emmatcc1 congratulations on the house sale! All I'd say is don't worry about problems before they even happen (in the sense that you'll figure it out once you conceive!).

I absolutely do not wish for twins 😂 2 is plenty of children for me, not sure I could cope with 3!

@TicklishDreamer I am! First one since December due to taking a 3 month break 😬 I'm going to try and not test until AF is due (11th May)...will see how long that lasts...

I've got to say my periods are still pretty regular after my MMC but they are heavier and more painful. Just want to get this round of AF out of the way asap, plus the previous due date and get on with another try. Guess we all feel somewhat frustrated by it at times.

Bb542 · 28/04/2024 10:51

@Georgethecat1 ❤️ I know how you feel... all sorts of emotions going through you. I think just go for it girl. Xx

@TicklishDreamer sounds like we're on similar days of our cycles. I totally agree, this part does so quickly and the TWW is hell 🙈

@ThelastRolo20 sending you lots of baby dust 🩷
