April 2025 TTC Support Group

I’m sorry 🥹 If it makes you feel less alone mine arrived today as well ❤️

@SureLook fingers crossed for next month. Silver linings is we're away this weekend so going to indulge in wine and cocktails!

So confused by my tests. It seemed to be the darkest I’ve had all cycle this morning but I held my wee in this afternoon and just done another and it’s barely there!! I know In December the day of my peak it was negative by the evening so I know my surge comes and goes but obviously I haven’t even had a peak yet so I’m confused! I’ve had slight cramps during the night and today so I thought I’d of got a positive

@ThisHangryTiger aww, I'm sorry. My period started off differently and came three days early. I was gutted.

@SureLook looks like I got my hopes up too soon 😢 AF appears to have arrived.

Hello everyone! I want to join too! We're both about 40 and trying for our first one. We have tried for a long time but my husband has ED. Nothing physiologically, only pressure to perform. So now we're trying at home insemination. Today is the first day of my cycle.

April will be our 2nd try.

I'm wondering, if insemination needs to happen prior ovulation, what's the point of tracking it? Especially if cycles are irregular.

@ThisHangryTiger fingers crossed, keep us posted!

How's everyone getting on?

I'm 9DPO today and feel achy and what could be some light brown spotting. I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding but if my luteal phase is regular then AF is due tomorrow. May try a test tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive but I know it'll still probably be too early. Trying not to get my hopes up too much but I've never had the colour spotting I've got.

@jelliebean9 keep the faith! I had very little symptoms on my first. They started after my BFP.

@Butterflygirl23 sounds like you're covered 🤞🏻

@Littledot2 sorry your period came early. I was the same in March and I was gutted.

Yes I'm using more tests not because I'm getting stressed about it but just because i want to know if this is my first normal cycle or not, CD13 today and mine seems to be raising so i'll keep testing twice daily.

I didn’t have any symptoms, the day I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant and symptoms didn’t really start till 6 weeks, I felt nothing.. I didn’t even know I had conceived, didn’t have no implantation bleeding nothing so that’s what made me though that it didn’t happen!
im now currently 7weeks and 3 days and have the on and off sore boobs and a few sickness but nothing major

That’s exactly how I felt with my first pregnancy. I didn’t believe I was, I even brought tampons ready because I have period cramps leading up to my BFP. But I did have really sore boobs straight after ovulation literally 3 days after and i started being sick constantly week before my AF was due (which I didn’t even think was possible) but even that I didn’t think I was. The cramps were so much like AF!

im so sorry to hear AF has come. Hopefully you’ll ovulate again this month 🤞🏼 what CD did you start? X

AF has arrived early for me this morning after early ovulation this month 😑 Feeling ready to move onto the next cycle today, was down and grumpy yesterday!

@jelliebean9 stay strong you never know 🤞 The month I conceived #1 I had no symptoms and was convinced my period was about to start

I really thought I was going to wake up to a positive ovulation strip but it must be on its way because I’ve got the cramps which I usually get. Premom has scored the strip higher but doesn’t look too different from previous ones. Il probably test a few times today lol. We did DTD last night so il be covered the next few days anyway well hopefully x

Think I’m 10 or 11dpo and I’m refusing to waste a test now until Thursday. Gotta stay strong. Apart from feeling a little bit sicky, which I do get every month with hormone fluctuations throughout my cycle, so absolutely not a reliable sign of anything, I feel completely NOTHING. No sore boobs, no cramps really, not an emotional wreck. I’m a bit gutted. Cos surely I’d feel SOMETHING if I’d conceived? ☹️

I'm using Premom and got a pop-up about buying PDG strips but couldn't seem to get them in this country. Least not through Amazon anyway. Anyone else had any luck?

This is good to know, thanks for sharing your experience. It's wild how it can show up of nowhere. Tested again tonight and it's still super low but I'll keep testing and hope it shows!

@Butterflygirl23 @Sugarcube84 fingers crossed for your peaks soon! I had to order more ovulation strips as I’ve been using 2 a day since CD7 as had no idea when I’d ovulate… finally got a peak this evening on CD16 out of nowhere, so I definitely would’ve missed it if only testing in the morning like I had on other cycles. From CD7-CD15 Premom had me on 0.1-0.2, even this morning was 0.28, then it’s shot up to 0.87 this evening with a very dark line. Keep testing, it’ll come! So glad I don’t have to hold my wee any more 😂

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining.

Congrats @Muddysocks1 on the BFP!

We're on cycle two TTC, thought we had it this month. Had cramps around 6 DPO that felt different to usual cramps I get, been tired and weirdly thirsty, a little nauseous the last few days too. Tested at 10 DPO and got BFN so figured I'd wait until AF was late to test again. Now 13 DPO, had brown CM when I went to the toilet earlier and have cramps, so think this is AF making an appearance 🙁 Feeling a little down as think this means we're out this cycle and a nice reminder when you go to the toilet isn't it, in case you just stopped thinking 24/7 about TTC 🙈

Hi all just stopping in to say a huge congratulations to @Muddysocks1! So delighted for you!
Welcome to @Iris2024 and everyone else who has joined.
I’m 9DPO today and still haven’t tested so will await my medal in the post 😂. After my chemical last month I just have no desire to test but let’s see how things go over the next few days - old habits die hard !
Good luck to everyone in the dreaded TWW!

Hi ladies, is it okay if I join?

Congratulations @Muddysocks1 🩷 what wonderful news!

Im first cycle back TTC number 2 after having 10 months break due to a family holiday. We was trying for 6 months and then stopped. I’m 41 so time is not on my side. I’m currently 3DPO and hoping I see those lines soon.

Good luck to all and look forward to having you all to chat to :)

5 days late today and bfn on tests, im cycle day 32 today so hoping she shows up soon so i can get going again

yeah normally morning time and again in the evening although I did have quite an unhinged moment over the weekend and tested 4 times in one day... I have now idea why as the tests were all the bloomin' same 🙄

@Muddysocks1 huge congratulations!!! So excited for you xx
