TTC June 2024 ✨♥️

I'm so happy! It's so so early, we're going to run out and but an ultra early test because my husband wants to see a stronger line before he can get excited!

@Livingmydream25 Yes I see it!! 😍

@Livingmydream25 i see the faintest lines! Fingers crossed you get your BFP 🥰

@pepperminticecream I’m also preparing myself mentally for AF to arrive, I had a few cramps this morning so I guess she’s on her way. I’m not testing now either unless she doesn’t arrive! How long have you been ttc? X

I just looked again and there is a line today isn't there?

Advice please!!

Tested yesterday and I swear I saw a faint line!
Testes again this morning and not sure now.

Do I get an ultra early to check?

@ninaballerina12 It is very exciting! I hope its a healthy and easy pregnancy for you! I wish I hadn't given in and tested early, its such a let down to see a negative. I won't be testing now unless AF is a few days late.

Thanks so much @pepperminticecream I tested on 8dpo and BFN. After that I decided to ditch testing until AF was due this cycle as personally it only added to my stress with the disappointment of a BFN and squinting for lines. It’s so hard to resist though! Wish you all the best with your BFP!

@Marshmallow99 Same here. I am 11DPO and I tested this afternoon and very white! I am having some light cramping and breast pain but had already told myself not to count that as a symptom and just think of it as signs AF is coming.

@ninaballerina12 Congratulations! Had you been testing up until today or was this the first time you took a test this month?

Sorry I'm really behind with everyone else getting BFP's and I'm only just getting my peak today. So guessing tomorrow is ovulation day 🤪

Do you stop doing opks now? I defo feel like I'm gearing up for ovulation I've had so much cramping today. First month of doing them so dunno if I keep going or not thankyou

Congratulations @ninaballerina12 💖

My period arrived last night so I’m out this month.

congratulations everyone who has their BFP this month 🥰.

I tested this morning I think I’m 11dpo, totally negative so pretty sure I am out. I’ve had absolutely no symptoms, not even my usually pre period cramping which I usually get a few days before and convince myself it’s implantation 😅

how’s everyone doing? X

I got my BFP this morning at 13DPO. My period was due today but I usually have spotting the day prior and didn’t. My strongest indicator was that my BBT dipped below cover line twice when it usually stays really elevated (when looking back this happened with both my DS1 and MC). This thread has been such a support at a lonely time, good luck ladies who are waiting for their BFP xx

Hi @Lou0811, I'm not quite following your post. Are you saying it's unusual for you to be late? And are you worried that you may have missed your fertile window when DTD?

@BlueberryPoppy123 Great to hear that your DH won't be missing ovulation. My DH is away tonight and tomorrow (Sat) and ovulation is predicted for Sunday, so hoping we still have a chance.

Congratulations @Em456 - that's so good to see!

Welcome @ClassicQuill - sorry to only be replying now. I don't have PCOS but I have heard from on here that it's harder using OPKs and LH tests due to ladies with PCOS having higher levels of LH throughout their cycle. But you will get more comfortable with tracking your cycles as time goes on. Although I do hope that it doesn't take too long for you.

Hi all,

I was reading a book which had loads of information about the things to eat when trying to conceive, both for men and women. It was a bit overwhelming, so I put all the recommendations in a spreadsheet, what they contain and the (alleged) benefits.

Sharing in case anyone finds it helpful:

Congratulations!!!

I’m 3 days overdue AF, I’m irregular every month but no signs at all.

we DTD almost weeks ago now, but according to my tracker, my ovulation was finished by a week. What do you think?

My excitement of the day is this is the darkest opk I've heard and premom estimates I'll ovulate tomorrow so although this says low it's still much higher than it has been and hoping when I retest later it's even higher. My husband's home from being away today so very grateful he's not missed ovulation. Fingers crossed we do some BDing and make a baby 🤞🏼

Congratulations that's defo positive 🙄

I’d have a few drinks if I were you. There’s no transfer between mother and baby so early so I’d consider it safe. You have to drink as much as everyone else though, and no one will be paying much attention to what you are and aren’t drinking after they’ve had a few drinks.

Congratulations! 💖

Congratulations!! 🌷🌷

That’s beautiful, congratulations xx

Congratulations!!! 💖

It’s a positive!!! 💕

I am 9DPO today and have had light cramping, tingling in nipples and bloating. I've been thinking today how much it sucks that signs that you are pregnant are the same as the signs that your period is coming! So I am not reading into things right now and reminding myself to not be shocked if AF arrives this weekend. So far I haven't tested which I am very impressed with myself over hahah.

One thing I am doing is planning a few treats for myself should AF arrive so I have something to look forward to if this isn't my month. I was thinking, a cocktail out with friends, a massage, facial and nails day and treating myself to a day at home in comfy clothes, with a nice book or new tv show. Oh and also going in a sauna which I love doing but haven't been doing while on the TWW.
