TTC June 2024 ✨♥️

I'm out as well. Feeling miserable about it since my partner wanted to "reassess" after this month to see if we keep trying or we pause to travel (after 8 months of unsuccessfuly ttc!). I'm gutted. I don't want to reassess I just want to ttc until we get a sticky BFP! Rant over. Thanks ladies good luck to the ones who are still on.
PS: at least im glad that the Maca root didn't mess up my cycle. :)

@Marinaautumn thank you hun and good luck to you ✨💕

Damn it! I hope you are feeling well, take care and focus on July! Baby dust to you too 💕🤞

Im out, back to CD1 again. Good luck everyone still waiting to test. Sending baby dust ✨

Thanks for asking, I am still in the TWW, AF was due this weekend and it's still not here but tested BFN so far. It's technically my day 28 and my cycles are 26 on average but have been even 29 once recently. I have not really any other symptoms, nor pregnancy symptoms nor period symptoms. This is my first cycle taking Maca root so who knows if it's just messed up the cycle... Sigh! I'll probably wait a couple of days before re-testing, I don't want to see another BFN.

Thanks for your message @LeleMR DPO buddies 🤩 this is my first post on these forums, it’s so nice to speak to others in the same boat. I haven’t told my closest friends as I don’t like the feeling of expectation each month!

This is cycle #4 of TTC. My DS1 and MC were unplanned and so I very naively thought it would happen straight away.

I think I will try to hold off testing for a few more days at least, how about you? I definitely won’t fork out on the FRERs until a missed AF! Fingers crossed for you and keep me posted too!

@BlueberryMacaron I have been using MomMed for LH and HCG tests for years, I buy mine from their Amazon store and always the big pack, 60 ovulation tests and 20 pregnancy ones, to get the most value.
They have worked well for me and picked up my early positive too back in April too.

To confirm the result I also used clear blue ultra early as a second check.

Aw we are both 8DPO then 🤩. I caved and tested today with an easy@home test as well and of course it was a BFN. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage ❤️. Are you just going to hold off testing to see if AF comes? Yeah I heard great things about acupuncture. Keep me updated on how you get on x

Aw sorry to hear that, you still have time though. I'm an idiot and tested today at 8DPO and of course it's a BFN, I'm counting myself out this month and refuse to take anymore tests. I'll wait for AF to arrive next Monday 😡.

I don’t get on with FRER! Kept giving me negatives last cycle even though I was pregnant (think it was something to do with the biotin I was taking in the end!).

I ended up using the clearblue ultra early digital with the light on top! They can be quite temperamental if you don’t handle them properly after dipping but found that they work well (and 10miu!)

Haha love this! Back to work today 🙄 have you entered the TWW yet? Think I’m still a few days away from ovulation so I must just ovulate later in the month as CD17 today!

Totally get that- my husband is the same but I am just not that chilled 😂 I got a flashing smiley face today on a clear blue OPK so moving in the right direction I think… how are you feeling? Did you say you were in the TTW hope it’s going ok.

I’m 11dpo and BFN this morning. Not surprised as I’ve been crampy for the last couple of days.

What tests are people using? Google tells me FRER, but the only place I can seen them is Superdrug and they’ve been out of stock for a while?

Update- just got my very first flashing smiley on a Clear Blue OPK 🤞🏼 taking that as a sign ovulation is on its way?! CD17 currently so I must ovulate quite late!

Ooh I have maca root we got it a while back and I never ended up using. May try next cycle too!

@SLLR I am 7dpo today too! How long do you think you’ll break before testing?! I apparently have no willpower and tested today with an easy@home, BFN obviously. This is cycle #4 of TTC after a MC in February.

I tried some acupuncture this cycle and have a few subtle signs but really could be something or nothing as still so early! The second week of the TWW really drags! X

@GreenPickle see image attached! Don't know how you're doing that, the capsule leaves a bad taste as it is 😂

@Irish812 what capsules are you taking? I use the powder and mix it with water and it honestly takes like vomit 😂

@SLLR totally understand your mindset as I'm the same, thinking I'm never going to see a positive. But every month is a new chance, and every month your closer to a BFP!!
@Marinaautumn my husband is the same, so laid back compared to me as I'm getting impatient 😅 yes planning on taking the 500mg capsule everyday and hubby started it yesterday!

I'm also on Maca root for the first time. Af was due today but no sign yet, although I tested negative this morning. Are you planning on taking it all throughout the month?

Yes keep us posted on here, it really helps to have this to put the thoughts out. My partner is very supportive, although he has a very "it-will-happen-when-it-happens" approach to the whole thing. I therefore don't want to burden him with all the symptom spotting and testing since I feel a bit ashamed of the tricks my mind is playing on me, so writing here definitely helps!

After my CP in May, a full 28 day cycle has come to end. AF arrived today, so on to a new cycle of TTC. Feeling positive and glad that my body managed to regulate itself quite quickly.

Back to testing LH in a few days, baby dust to us all :)

Sorry to hear it's taken a while for you ❤️. Just wondering what tests your husband done, was it through NHS? Was your doctor happy to do bloods for you as well, or do you have to be ttc for a certain period of time before they will test. I'm 36 and Ttc number 2 for 6 months now. No idea how to approach the doctor about it. We fell pregnant first try with my first so I'm hoping nothing is wrong this time.

So I'm currently 7 DPO (used opks to track ovulation) and this is cycle 6 for us, been trying to since January 😒. I'm feeling no symptoms really. I'm trying so hard not to have a negative mindset, but it's hard because I've been so used to seeing negative tests the last 6 month's.
I thought I had run out of pregnancy tests, so I thought oh good, I'll just wait for AF instead of wasting tests. But I found 3 cheapies in the back of my wardrobe 🤣 now I'm just trying to hold off as long as possible to test. Anyone else around 7dpo?

2 days but I couldn’t pick anything up on the LH tests. We’ve covered all bases anyway so far 🤞🏼 will keep you updated NC says I’m going to ovulate this Wednesday so wait and see!

Hope everything is going ok with you. It’s so nice having people to talk to about it all as we’ve not told anyone we’re trying!
