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!

@lavafield i used the proceive supplements this month as they get really good reviews.

But actually wouldn’t recommend.
I got my peak ovulation reading on cycle day 12 which is the earliest it’s ever been for me, with EWCM.
And now day 15 I’ve got another peak but no other physical signs of ovulation so I’ve got no idea what’s happening with my body. All I can put it down to is those supplements as last month my cycle had returned to normal after losing our last baby.

Really kicking myself and absolutely gutted that I took them and they’ve messed my cycles up

@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.

lavafield · 21/05/2024 07:42

Sorry to hear about your losses @emmatcc1 @jt130593 💔 keeping fingers crossed for your positive news soon. AF arrived here this morning, also trying to focus on the next month now as July would have to be missed with my travel.. Does anyone have feedback on which vitamins are best to use? I only use vitamin D and Folic acid, and I eat plenty of veg, seafood/fish, and seeds/nuts/healthy oils. Have been reluctant to go full on on high dose supplements but I am hearing they have helped quite a few ladies get pregnant ?

Bb542 · 20/05/2024 22:12

@CSmith1 did you test again? 😍

@jt130593 so sorry to hear about your baby boy 😔 that must've been so hard ❤️

@TicklishDreamer so sorry AF arrived. Let's hope we all get BFPs this cycle ❤️

I'm CD4 today. Had today booked off work so went to the seaside in the sun with my fiancé and our dog and had such a lovely day 🥰 feeling hopeful and optimistic for a new cycle 🤞🏼🥰

emmatcc1 · 20/05/2024 18:38

@jt130593 Fingers crossed we both get positive news this month.

jt130593 · 20/05/2024 18:32

@emmatcc1 got everything crossed for you this cycle 🤞

emmatcc1 · 20/05/2024 18:04

@jt130593 I’m on cycle 4 now. We used conceive plus this cycle, maybe it does the trick.
A friend also had a MC at the same time as me and is now pregnant on the first try.

TicklishDreamer · 20/05/2024 17:49

@emmatcc1 im so sorry to hear about your baby boy! No one else’s opinion matters on it’

@InevitableWithdrawal i think there’s quiet a few of us that are going into another month! So you won’t be alone I’m only on cycle day 1 and after a bit of a moment this morning I’m back to feeling positive! It was only cycle 3 post miscarriage so not that many months really! Hopefully this month is my month!

jt130593 · 20/05/2024 17:08

@emmatcc1 im the same, it’s all I can really think about to be honest.

How many cycles have you been trying now since you lost your baby?

emmatcc1 · 20/05/2024 16:58

@jt130593 Totally understand as I feel the same. Absolutely desperate to be pregnant again.

jt130593 · 20/05/2024 16:38

@InevitableWithdrawal @emmatcc1 thank you ❤️

it’s been absolutely horrendous, the only thing I feel like will make me feel even slightly better is falling pregnant again which I know a lot of people won’t agree with!

emmatcc1 · 20/05/2024 16:14

@jt130593 Welcome! I’m so sorry to hear about your baby. I also got pregnant last December but lost it a bit earlier at 10 weeks. It was already hard for me, I can’t imagine what you’re going through now.

1dpo here as well. Cd16 today and we dtd cd 11, 13, 15. The month I conceived we actually only dtd 3-4 days before and the day of ov.

InevitableWithdrawal · 20/05/2024 16:12

I wasn’t going to post because I feel like I’m a good couple of weeks behind everyone else cycle wise but it looks like there’s maybe a couple of us now so I thought I’d say hello!

I’m TTC #1, second cycle (but I only came off the pill at the start of April so last month doesn’t really count because I was just kind of figuring everything out) and 3dpo today (I think!). Only dtd twice this cycle though because DH was away for work through most of my fertile window 😅

Good luck to everyone testing!

@jt130593 sorry to hear about your baby boy, that must have been really tough 💐

jt130593 · 20/05/2024 15:56

A bit late but can I join please!

2nd cycle trying to conceive, fell pregnant last December but we sadly lost our baby boy in March this year at 17 weeks.

Im currently 1DPO (cycle day 14), managed to DTD cycle day 11, 12 and 14. Missed actual ovulation day as my partner was ill so not sure how successful we will be but we’ll see 😬

CSmith1 · 20/05/2024 15:15

@Marshmallow99 they really are!
I'm keeping everything crossed for you too and hope you get your BFP soon.
I said to myself this month I wouldn't test early but here we are again, I've been testing since 8dpo (way too early I know!!)
This is our second round of clomid after trying for 4 years so I doubt it is positive but maybe .. just maybe!
I'll keep you posted and please keep me posted with how you get on, too 😊

Marshmallow99 · 20/05/2024 15:08

@CSmith1 those false positives are an emotional rollercoaster right! I had one with a sainsburys test last month.

i am still in this month, AF is due in 6 days. I’m trying not to get my hopes up though, we’ve been trying for a year now so it’s getting tough every month AF arrives.

Trying to not test so early too as I get a little obsessive with it 😅. I think I will take one Friday morning!

Keep us updated with your tests, fingers and toes crossed for you! X

CSmith1 · 20/05/2024 14:53

Marshmallow99 · 20/05/2024 14:38

@CSmith1 thats so promising!!! Fingers crossed for you, what test did you use? Maybe an early detection test tomorrow morning will confirm it 🤭 X

Thank you!! It's so hard to not get the hopes up. I had a faulty clearblue digital last month that said pregnant with an error message so I know what it's like for false hope! I used the easy@home ones! Have a first response arriving sometime today so will use that tomorrow morning. Are you still in for this month?

Marshmallow99 · 20/05/2024 14:38

loves2plan · 20/05/2024 14:21

Sending luck to everyone trying! I'm on CD12 today, our first month TTC no2

CSmith1 · 20/05/2024 14:15

Sorry to those that are out so far this month, my fingers are crossed that next month will be it for you!
I'm 10dpo and I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks with me but I took a test at around 11am today and thought I could see the faintest of a line. Took another and thought I could see it again but honestly it likely my mind playing tricks! I'll no doubt test again today, probably this evening but my gosh it's just torture isn't it. Please send me all the luck 🤞🏼

TicklishDreamer · 20/05/2024 11:34

@purplecolouroffunk if you are out (you might not be never know) there’s a fair few of us going into next month so I’m sure we will all still keep updating and chatting on here!

purplecolouroffunk · 20/05/2024 11:31

@TicklishDreamer oh noo I'm sorry to hear! Good that you've put a positive spin on it though :)

I caved and did a test at 11dpo today and not even a hint of a line, so I'm guessing that's probably me out too :(

TicklishDreamer · 20/05/2024 11:26

I fully expected it, relived AF has arrived ready for this month means we won’t have a baby so close to Christmas again! just wait for my period to end and get back to trying!

OP posts:
Marshmallow99 · 20/05/2024 11:18

@TicklishDreamer so sorry AF arrived, bring on your Spring baby 🌸. Treat yourself today to a little something, I hope you’re doing ok x

@JumpinJellyfish ahh yes that makes sense! for sure, I am knackered after ovulation- no more thank you 😂

JumpinJellyfish · 20/05/2024 11:16

@Marshmallow99 you can’t get pregnant after ovulation, but dtd every other day means you will
definitely catch the egg even if you aren’t sure when you ovulate/make a mistake with ovulation tracking, which is why it is recommended. I know my cycles pretty well so also don’t bother dtd once I know ovulation has happened!

@TicklishDreamer oh no im
so sorry - but good you didn’t waste money on the tests and onwards and upwards for next month. No AF
for me yet - this is CD30 - but I really don’t feel pregnant so expect it will
arrive tomorrow and will test if not. Quite relieved I don’t have any tests in the house!
