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!

Morning ladies, how are we all doing? I did a test this morning and I thought I saw the faintest of lines, I’m not sure how reliable these tests are but can you see it? X

I can see it! Have you downloaded a pregnancy checker app where you can invert the picture?

InevitableWithdrawal · 22/05/2024 07:49

Morning!

Congratulations @Rycbar !

I see a faint line @Marshmallow99, how many dpo are you?

I’ve had some spotting this morning but I’m only 5 dpo so too early for implantation bleeding, I’m not sure if it’s my period making a randomly early appearance but that would be way earlier than normal as my cycles are normally 26-28 ish days.

@Rycbar congratulations! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 🥰

lavafield · 21/05/2024 17:41

Congratulations on that beautiful BFP result @Rycbar!
Good luck and patience to all those still waiting!

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 17:03

@emmatcc1 wow I love that! I am going to go on TikTok later and see if anything comes up for me 😄x

emmatcc1 · 21/05/2024 16:55

@Marshmallow99 I love looking at signs as well.
I remember first time around I saw one of those tiktoks where it said that in December I’m gonna be pregnant and the sign will be broken traffic light on my way home and sure enough on the day af was due I saw that and tested bfp.
Today I saw two tiktoks saying this Sunday will be significant which will be 7dpo (I implanted 7dpo last time) and my spiritual animal will be an elephant, we have a big plush elephant at home that we bought at the start of our ttc journey for our future baby and I use it everyday as a pillow.

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 16:38

I love looking out for signs! Last month I kept seeing ladybugs, one even in my room and they never usually are there, it had 2 spots so i took that as a sign that in 2 months I would be pregnant 😅.. we shall see! Apparently they symbolise fertility.

Thank you, I will keep you updated! x

@Rycbar wow thats incredible that you have such a strong positive at 9DPO! I have also been ttc for a year, the relief you must feel right now must be amazing!

I'm 9DPO today too, i took a test at lunch but i have drank so much water i don't know why I did it 😢.. I will try again in the morning (i have no patience tehe)

Yes I was so shocked!! It sounds weird but I’m a teacher and we have chicks at school due to hatch this week, our last batch didn’t and I thought it was such a metaphor for my current situation and then this morning one of the eggs pipped (the chick starts to peck through) and I just knew it was a sign 😂

Ive been there - the amount of times I tested at 7/8dpo and obviously nothing there. 9dpo is still really early though so I have everything crossed for you!!

@QuirkyJadeSwan I am also 33 ttc for 1st, I know a lot of ladies in their mid-late 30's even early 40's who have conceived quickly so try not to worry about age 😊

@Rycbar oh my goodness congratulations!!! how wonderful!! how many DPO are you?

Only 9! We’ve been trying for nearly a year so I was convinced it hadn’t worked again. I just had an overwhelming urge to test this afternoon and it came up straight away!! (I’m also 33!)

QuirkyJadeSwan · 21/05/2024 15:41

33 and on cycle #3, if successful this will be my first. I know it may be a bit harder for me since I'm a bit older.

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 14:07

@CSmith1 so sorry to see AF arrived, next cycle with be yours! sending all the positivity!

@JumpinJellyfish there's still hope if AF hasn't shown! fingers crossed for you.

There seems to be quite a few of us still waiting to see if this month is the month we get our BFP's!

I am 9DPO, and I tend to get a bit doolally around this time, I can't concentrate. I stupidly did a test at lunch time.. negative! so then i decided to try another brand.. negative of course 😩, I am my own worst enemy.

no symptoms really, had what i thought was heartburn last night but it only lasted a few minutes.

@T0r11210 I am that person that googles everything 😅and I definitely googled that last month when AF arrived

ThelastRolo20 · 21/05/2024 11:48

jellyfish2 · 21/05/2024 09:08

@ThelastRolo20 later is probably better anyway. When were your losses before?
I'm thinking probably Saturday where I should be 11dpo. When did you get your positive?

First loss was between 9 and 10 weeks and found out at 12 week scan, second one baby measured behind from 7 weeks but took until 10 weeks for final confirmation.

I got it around 10DPO but don't know exactly as I didn't track ovulation 😊 11DPO should be fine! X

T0r11210 · 21/05/2024 11:39

Hey everyone, I’m out this month too as AF showed yesterday. I got really excited as well because boobs were hurting a few days before which they don’t usually and still are. AF is also very early! Usually I’m 29-31 days but it’s 26 days this month and have a lot more cramping than usual.
so of course I’ve been googling “can IB be heavy “ 😂
Ive ordered a Mira as temping doesn’t seem to work with me and I seem to get OPK peaks the day after I ovulate so it’s hard to catch the right time. BBT showed I may have not ovulated this month BUT my progesterone was 33 at 21 days so I must have!
Hopeful for June 🤞my partner is in the Navy and gets his first posting for months away next summer so we really wanted one before this time.
sorry for long message (low/weird BBT attached). I’m 32 by the way.

@Bb542 I did this morning.. BFN and AF has arrived 4 days early. Absolute rollercoaster of a couple of days, had a little hope it may have been implementation bleeding but as the morning is going on I think it's getting heavier. Absolutely gutted but that's why I shouldn't test too early! Lesson learned and on to next month and I'm making sure I don't have any tests in the house until at least 12/13dpo.

How are you this month?

Sending baby dust to all ☀️

JumpinJellyfish · 21/05/2024 09:46

No AF and bfn this morning…no idea how many dpo I am but I’m cd 31 so would have got a bfp by now if actually pregnant. No idea what is going on with my cycle as they are usually 29 days ☹️

ThelastRolo20 · 21/05/2024 08:58

@jellyfish2 I do but not until 13th June when I'll be almost 9 weeks! I wanted my husband there but he's really busy the two weeks before with work, and my birthday is on 10th and wanted to enjoy that so figured afterwards was best. It's so far away though...

When are you planning on testing?

jt130593 · 21/05/2024 08:56

@lavafield yeah I’ve stopped taking them today. And just gone back to her 9 female multi vits.
Taking this month as a right off and hope that it hasn’t totally messed my cycles up for next month!

Good luck everyone!

ThelastRolo20 · 21/05/2024 08:36

Hey! Thanks for checking in 😊 I'm doing okay thank you, I had mild cramps for nearly all the TWW but other than that not really? Vivid dreams towards the end but that can be normal pre AF anyway.

7DPO really won't have many (if any!) symptoms - I'm always convinced I'm out.

We've decided this is our last roll of the dice, if this one doesn't stick we're one and done. I feel at peace having made that decision which is quite nice - what will be will be now x

I really hope this is it for you!! Do you have your early scan booked yet? Yeah last couple of nights I've had vivid dreams but I've realised I get that in the tww too.

ThelastRolo20 · 21/05/2024 08:36

jellyfish2 · 21/05/2024 08:15

@ThelastRolo20 how are you keeping?

Did you have any symptoms before you got your BFP? I'm 7dpo and don't really have anything major, feel a bit nauseous at times this morning and tired but what's new! So I'm not feeling hopeful.

@jt130593 oh wow. Don't beat yourself up, you meant well. Do you think you are going to stop them?
I might just stick with vit d and folic acid for a few months and see what happens. Keeping feet always warm is important too, according to some traditional theories, lol guess everything goes while ttc!
