Ttc may 2024

I haven't tracked ovulation this month but typically pre MC I'd get a surge today so I tested (as I have no willpower) and it was quite faint. Given my cycles are around 2 days shorter and EWCM has dropped the last day or two I reckon I might have ovulated a day or two early. Not going to test again but will have sex tomorrow just in case I get a surge then instead!

Still going to consider today ovulation day as it's my due date for the baby I lost I'm October, and it seems to be potentially the most likely (surge could have happened yesterday)

Period is here and waiting for it to finish, I’m super nervous about ttc. I feel like I could do with loosing 10kg first but then it’s putting it on hold even longer. I feel a bit conflicted about ttc (then over think if it’s what I really want)

How's everyone feeling today? I woke up at 5am last night with intense period cramps (even though I'm on day 8 now and my period has ended 🤔). My body is acting so strange since my miscarriage 🥲

Too scared to test after 18/19 months of trying. Just feel it coming! Hope you’re lovely and relaxed after a holiday and that means a good outcome for you!

@Shellbells44 welcome! Have you tested negative or just know AF is coming?

Hope I can join you all! Moved over from April TTC page. AF supposedly due tomorrow. Got cramps so feel it’s imminent! Sending you all lots of luck for this month 🤞🏻 and hope it’s all our month. It’s so devastating each month, I definitely want to treat myself to something each month when AF shows to cheer myself up!

Keep everything crossed!

Absolutely LOVE this idea. I might have to try this 😊 thank you for this lovely idea!

@ThelastRolo20 yeah today is day 6 if I last the day...I've no pregnancy symptoms....I'm tired but I've energy💁‍♀️
I have a feeling of fullness in lower abdomen and aches which comes and goes....everytime i go to loo i think its here but not yet......might be in my head that's why I think af must be on way.....
Last period 24th april so on day 35......if I last day....
I've been 28 days for last year even longer.....I'm not walking the walls wanting to test as every month I test on day 23 or 24 the 6 day early one then it arrived day 28 and I've ran out...so the stark white negative is very very familiär to me....
It's head wrecking this......isn't it....I've been going on Super long walks and drinking loads water as usually brings on af...but nothing yet.....
I will order tests for next week....

@PoppyPeaches I'm the same,very regular so any late period really plays tricks on the mind ❤️ you've just got to remember that the odds are on your side x

@Noisinmaro are you 6 days late then? Have you ordered any tests? Certainly seems like a good chance you're pregnant if so!

I'm the same normally 28 days...and have been for months....was due Sunday last im late...afraid it will come yet,I've no pregnancy tests in the house, i usually buy them online so not going to shop as impossible be annoymous where i live, I have cramping so not sure why so late as usually spot on.......fingers crossed though...

I've missed a few new people but welcome everyone! Hope everyone has a good cycle. Finally on my way home after my holiday - hoping it's produced a relaxed egg 😂

Oh wow, that definitely could have something to do with fertility. I would definitely see if you could speak to somebody about this?

I hope you're doing ok. I remember your name from other threads too (I had a miscarriage in Feb too). Sending lots of love 🩷

I just found out my liver enzymes are still elevated after three repeat blood tests and I’ve been referred to get an abdominal ultrasound. I’m now wondering if that has to do anything with my fertility and miscarriage. I have no symptoms it was a complete coincidence that they found out my liver enzymes are high when I went to a&e last month for a bacterial pneumonia.

Aww thanks everyone that sounds like a really good idea! I didn’t realise this would be such an emotional rollercoaster 🙈 having spent the last 20 years trying not to get pregnant, I didn’t think it would be this stressful trying to manage it! I’ve spoken to the GP and they are very chilled about the whole thing as I’ve been trying a relatively short time, but it’s still really hard. Think I’m going to give it until the end of the summer and then go back if it hasn’t happened - although the thought of it not happening by then fills me with horror with how stressed I am now! Wishing everyone the best of luck with their own journeys!!! Xxx

@Georgethecat1 This is such a good idea. I am going to start period presents Even though I can't be pregnant this month I know I'm still going to be disappointed when AF arrives

Hi everyone! Can I join? Came off the pill at the beginning of April hoping for baby 2.

Definitely ovulated in the middle of the month but missed the window (DH works away from home and ended up being away for the whole 5 days leading up to ovulation day!).

Hoping timings might work out a bit better in May

@PoppyPeaches I'm sorry to hear that it's very tough! I remember thinking the same ttc my 2nd you just feel it will never happen but keep trying you will get your BFP 💝 Happy birthday btw, I hope you treat yourself to something lovely.

@PoppyPeaches i gave myself period presents 🤣 when your next period is due or a few days after book something like a massage / hair app / afternoon tea / lunch with a friend. Might be things you are already doing but I planned around my period so I could say to myself that’s ok I now get to enjoy x,y,z and eat something you can’t while pregnant or get my hair highlighted etc. While I was still sad I tried to trick myself into thinking about a positive

Hi! 👋 I hope it’s ok to join! It’s my 35th birthday today, and am in the midst of TTC for my first babe! I’ve been tracking for 6m, and trying for 4m and after 2 weeks of constant light cramps (which doesn’t normally happen) AF was 4 days late today of all days (normally I am 28 days almost to the hour). Then of course it has started this evening and I am truly devastated, I can’t stop crying. I think it is worse that I feel my body has tricked me into thinking it was my month, as literally for the last 6m I’ve been regular to the day. I don’t really know what I’m wanting to say, only that for all of you going through similar heartbreak, I hear ya! I know in theory I haven’t been trying long, but I am finding the disappointment sooo hard, which surely isn’t helping my fertility!!! Has anyone any tips for coping with this every month? 😢
