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!

@CatLady1994 I feel like I can see the start of something? Hopefully it is!

@emmatcc1 good luck this cycle. Today is ovulation day for me and dtd Friday, Sunday and last night. Going to go again tonight and I think we'll both collapse into a heap and leave it at that whilst crossing fingers 😂

@emmatcc1 good luck! Hopefully you get your peak next few days

Cd10 for me and LH is rising again. I’m gonna test again in the evening, gonna try and dtd 2-3 days in a row.

@Bb542 8DPO today I am exhausted but don’t know if that’s normal this time of month I can’t remember! I did wake a few times last night sweating but think that was just how warm it was!

@CatLady1994 i don’t know if I have line eyes but I think I may see something!

Hey gang - not sure if I've posted yet on this month's thread but have been on previous ones! I'm 9/10 DPO today of cycle 5 TTC (I track on 2 apps and they are a day different to each other) - can anyone else see a line on this test??

Hi everyone, I’m jumping on this board if that’s okay ☺️ congrats to those who have BFP. What were your early symptoms? Hope everything’s going well?

first month TTC but have a 6 year old DD and have been tracking bbt for quite a few months out of curiosity.

Can anyone please help me with my stats as I’m really confused!! PM on CD 14 I had high in the morning and then peak before bed (115%). Static smiley on CB FMU CD 15 and then cheapies showed it was back down to high/low by the afternoon. My BBT crosshairs on FF shows I ovulated on CD 14 which is the night before I got my peak and my BBT hasn’t been overly high (missed a few days because I didn’t sleep well and I’m not good at tracking CM as it’s not obvious to me).

Do you think FF is right? Have I actually ovulated yet? And can you ovulate day/night of a peak? My partner works away so stressed about getting timings right as well!

TYIA

So sorry but I know nothing about bbt 😕 hope you figure it out x

How is everyone this evening? I'm 7dpo and tested this evening and obviously negative 🤣 why do I do this to myself...

@Jessb2021a & @Tulipwood good luck! Hopefully it works for you this week!

@Tulipwood my toddler doesn’t like sleep I am always on high alert during shag week 🤣🤣🤣

Hi everyone! Congrats to everyone with positives already and good luck to everyone :)

Shag week for us here! Grin Bit of a high pressure situation (he was away last month around ovulation last month, I'll be away around that time next month and he's away again the month after!).

So basically we need to have as much sex as possible and keep our fingers crossed!

We are also in a high pressure shag week here too 😂 with a toddler who is fundamentally against sleep at the minute it’s all fun and games here.

@Bb542 honestly think it’s all in my imagination 🤣 I have had a couple of dull twinges too but didn’t think anything of them!

ooooo they sound like a good sign! Hopefully bloating is a pregnancy symptom and not IBS!
im waiting it out till 20th may! When are you going to test?

@Bb542 how are you feeling at 6DPO? Any symptoms?
I keep being convinced my boobs hurt but think it’s all on my imagination 🤣

Ooh they could be!! Any other symptoms? I'm ok...last night and tonight I've been getting heart palpitations which are making me nauseous 🙈 I also have some dull cramping. Thought my boobs were a little sore yesterday but they're fine today. I'm very bloated too (but I have IBS so that could be why). When did you say you're testing?

I’m cd8 and already getting higher reading on opk which means I should get peak in a day or two and ovulate a bit too early.

Lemoncake199111 · 10/05/2024 19:16

Congrats to everyone with bfp and fingers crossed to those of you waiting. I’m out, AF arrived this morning. Feeling sad as this would have been my due month from my last pregnancy

So sorry to hear Lemoncake199111.
I had the same situation as this was my due month too. A friend of a friend was saying they were going to visit their one week old niece yesterday and it made me think about mine and how it would have been about that age too. I went home and cried to be honest.
I am getting really despondent and beginning to really question if and when it will happen again. Now on cycle 5, second half of cycle and got to the stage where I am thinking that success is getting less and less likely. I know it's really not that long but I cant help thinking that I am not even pregnant again yet and then it might be another MMC. Hooe you have good luck next cycle.

Dachshundlover · 11/05/2024 15:27

@emmatcc1 so nice to speak to someone else who is young to I think it’s such a misconception that people who are our age don’t struggle all get pregnant straight away etc.

Dachshundlover · 11/05/2024 15:26

@emmatcc1 exactly that! Me and my partner have been together for 3 years no contraception nothing just pull out tmi lol. But no scares etc and everyone around me seems to get pregnant even on birth control 😳. It’s so hard as me and partner have our own house, both want it so badly, both drive have great jobs and are so ready and it just feels like it’s taking ages especially where my cycles are so long. There’s people I went to school with my age on their second or third

Dachshundlover · 11/05/2024 15:24

@emmatcc1 omg bless you! That must be so so difficult 😥. I’m so sorry really sending all the baby dust your way!! We have decided if get to October and not pregnant going to go straight to inquire about IVF privately know it seems silly or premature but I can’t imagine waiting any longer than that.

emmatcc1 · 11/05/2024 15:21

@Dachshundlover I’m also 21 and we have been ttc since oct 22, one miscarriage so far. All of my friends have got pregnant super fast. Definitely hard seeing we’re young but it’s just not happening.

Dachshundlover · 11/05/2024 15:08

Hiya everyone. I’m 21 and ttc number 1, feeling stressed I’m only on month 3 know I am really young but wanted a baby since I was at least 18. My sister has recently got pregnant last year (age 19) and had an abortion at 17 weeks!) broke my heart 😢. She then got pregnant the month after with someone different and just first try only the once straight away. All of the girls I went to school with have had children or are pregnant and it’s so painful because I want it so so badly. I have stupidly long cycles anything between 34-45 days and borderline high prolactin levels. I know we’ve not been trying for long but because my cycle is so long ovulation and trying again is just pushed so much farther away it’s killing me. I went with my sis to her scan appointment and I’m so excited for her but just so ready for it to be me. We’ve done the lot both me and partner taking the best supplements, using the fertililly cup and ovulation strips bding every day of fertile window and both young and healthy. Currently on day 33 and waiting for period still not pregnant . And ovulation now nearly in June 🥲. Ugh just so struggling. Seem to see announcements and things every day . Always here to chat i understand the struggle totally.

Smileymom · 11/05/2024 15:02

Girls I'm out of this month's running and I'm ok as it was too soon. I'm starting a new job and I think it makes more sense to have permanency before we try. So I wish you all the best and bid you Farrell. Congratulations to the BFP's and big hopes for everyone trying xxxx
