March 2025 TTC support group

Hello, hope I am ok to join this group :)
My partner and I have been trying to conceive for a couple of months now with no luck just yet – which I know is totally normal! We haven’t been super strict about tracking things, but this month (I’m on CD5), I’ve decided to start keeping an eye on ovulation and all that good stuff.
This would be our first baby, and I’m just about to turn 30. We’ve talked about this for years, and we finally feel like we’re as ready as you can ever be for this exciting journey!
So happy to be here, and sending lots of baby dust to everyone! ✨💕💫

None of these look positive, you either haven't ovulated yet, or missed between cd12-13. These don't have to follow a pattern LH can be up and down each day but still not positive. Hope that helps

Hi everyone I wondered if anyone could help me work out when I ovulated from the picture I’ve attached of the ovulation tests..every day says low on the pre mom app but the line seems dark?
thanks in advance x

Not tried acupuncture before. This will be my first session so I'll be sure to let you all know what it was like 😊

I've added vit C, a magnesium and B6 plus coq10 this cycle. Which I guess means if something or acupuncture works I won't know what one helped 😣

I'm also trying to conceive #2 but my first will be 18 next week! I'm 34 and on cycle 6 after a MMC last year.

{mention:sjwx}normally@sjwxnormally normally sit at around 32 day cycle with a luteal phase of 9/10 days 😣

@littlefox90 how long is your cycle normally?

I'm also wanting to lengthen my luteal phase so have tried a few new things this cycle but won't know until this weekend when AF would normally arrive

Have you had acupuncture before? I've heard good things so might give it a go if this month isn't successful

@littlefox90 I'm the same - hoping my luteal phase is a bit longer. I'm TTC #2 and on cycle four. How about you?

I've been busy last week so haven't popped on. It's fantastic to see some BFP on here! Congratulations guys 🎉

@Midnight00 same here, looking like I'll ovulate in the night or tomorrow so day 18/19 normally I'm day 21ish and last cycle day 24! So I'm guessing 19 is good. Just got to hope my luteal phase also starts to lengthen 🤞

I also have acupuncture booked for next Wednesday

I keep thinking this to myself - put it off to start a new job and now wishing I hadn't! But like you said it probably would have happened straight away if I hadn't waited , sods law

Same feelings with everyone falling pregnant first cycle. I know a few friends who have, so we waited to TTC #2 now it's not happening immediately I wish we hadn't waited 😩 (although had we started earlier and not completely ready it probably would have happened)

Was thinking the same thing today 🫠

Do you reckon it's too early for an April thread for those of us who are out? 🙃

My ovulation was a few days earlier than previous months which I'm pleased about. Now 3DPO. Got acupuncture this evening so hope that helps. Haven't tried the beetroot juice!

That’s a really good idea - otherwise it all bubbles over (usually at night). Writing it down might help!

@Muddysocks1 have you ever thought about keeping a journal? Or just writing your feelings down? It helped me during some of the dark times!

It's sooo difficult. I know it can take healthy couples up to a year, but when everyone you know is getting it on cycle 1 and I'm there tracking every month it starts to feel like something is wrong!

@Muddysocks1 It's so unfair 😂 We know a couple that is going to TTC this summer and I just know I'll be watching them fall pregnant directly while I still lay with my legs in the air and drinking beetroot juice googling 1 DPO symptoms 😂

@Wednesdayonline
I'm in the same boat! One of my team members caught on the first try, we've been trying since December and just found out that someone I use to work with in a previous job is now also pregnant, it's hard seeing everyone else around you getting pregnant and you're not catching like everyone else

Yes!!! A couple of my friends got pregnant literally the first time, I literally can’t imagine that happening!

It’s so hard! I think I’m going to have to take some steps like removing stuff off my social media and limiting time on my phone because it’s not helping me. Harder with friends in real life though - I’m obv very happy for them but the sadness is just increasing

It does seem to go either way doesn't it 😂

@Muddysocks1 @Wednesdayonline One second I get impressed with how complicated and advanced the body is and the whole pregnancy thing, the other second I read someone getting pregnant with a one night stand while on birth control, smoking a pack a day 😂

48 hours potentially

I feel like I'm in the same boat. Hard to be bothered about work! Two friends are shortly going to start trying for no.2 and they both got pregnant first time for their firsts. Another friend has gotten accidentally pregnant while using contraception 🙃 how is it so easy for some people?!
