April 2025 TTC Support Group

Hi everyone. Not been on these threads for a while, it isn't happening for us but we are ok. Going down a different route and feeling positive. I have these bits, see pic, and they were expensive! Would anyone like them? Seems awful to bin them. You would need to pm me your address I think.

@DownWithCremeEggs brilliant! Agree with stepping testing now. Your sanity will thank you 😂 congratulations x

Got a positive digital this morning! Now I can finally believe it's real 🙈 and yes I'll stop testing now as I've already spent way too much money 🤣

Im going to try again in a few days, but the lighting was awful thismorning, it was pink just very faint 🩷 im hoping thats what it is x

can you not take a pic with flash or in the light it’s hard to tell. But what I can see I think the line looks too thin. Doesn’t it have to be the same thickness as the C line? I haven’t got any experience with those tests so I’m not 100%

edited photos to be able to see better i got this on a FRER at 4am this morning when I was struggling to sleep🥹 its a barely there squinter and because I cant see I flipped it over without the plastic screen🥰 11dpo so will watch line progression over the next week to make absolutely sure, if my “due date” is correct this is a christmas day baby🥹
(will upload the unedited if anyone wants to see them) x

@MoonCycle I ran out of OPKs so I'm just guessing 😂 I don't wanna buy more until I know I need them. This is my second cycle TTC #2 after an MMC in January. I already have a two year old DD. I'm going to try and hold off until AF is due which I don't really know when that is. AF came three days early in March and my app said I was going to ovulate on Saturday. But based on the OPKs and EWCM I definitely didn't ovulate until later. Probably gonna try hold out until at least 10dpo. I may even just wait and see if AF shows.
I was gutted when I got my period in March as I conceived my first try on my previous pregnancies. So I've really tried to adjust my expectations that I was very lucky before and that may not be the case now. I think my cycles are still adjusting. I have heard great things about acupuncture x

Hi @SureLook thanks so much for replying. Pretty sure I ovulated Thursday too! Cycle twins 🥰 Just waiting for app to confirm (think it’s waiting for another temp rise tomorrow morning) 🤞🏻
How long have you been trying? And when do you think you’ll test? Tbh I haven’t been getting around to doing pregnancy tests really as my spotting starts and I can just tell AF is going to arrive each month so far 😣 finding it really hard to relax/switch off from it all, wondering whether to try something like acupuncture next month which is meant to help with fertility and also relaxation…have you got any tips how you’ve relaxed yourself more this month?x

Welcome @MoonCycle I'm early in my TWW. I think I ovulated around Thursday. I was very consumed with it last month but I'm feeling more relaxed now. It's very hard x

Hi all, I’m hoping to join this thread please 🙏🏻We’re TTC baby no.1 and just started the TWW of 6th cycle trying. Is anyone else early in their TWW? Feeling pretty down that it hasn’t happened yet and trying to remind myself every day that it’s normal for this journey to take time. Currently finding it all consuming and wondering every day if something is wrong which is not a good place to be! Hoping joining this forum and talking with those on the same journey will help.
Sending lots of love to all, and a huge congratulations to those who have had their BFP this month 💞

@devma it is so hard not to test. I'm really gonna try my best to wait till AF is due. But we'll see 🙈

i’m going to try testing tomorrow and then if nothing just waiting til AF, I said I wouldnt test but I did at 7 dpo and now its so much harder to hold off😂 x

yeah they are! I’ve heard bad things about them too so i’ve ordered some First Response x

I’m so sorry to hear quite of a lot of yous AF have arrived 😢 sending my best wishes for your next cycles x

@devma hard to tell in that pic. But you're still very early!

If these are the cheap ones off Amazon the line doesn’t come up clearly, better off buying different tests!

Here it is, I dont know if im seeing things but I swear I could see it thismorning! even more so in person X

Probably just a later surge this cycle! I would also say to keep testing after you get your ‘peak’ too, as last cycle you didn’t test after CD15 so it may be that you peaked after this maybe CD16. Mine usually vary a day or two. Sorry rambling hope that makes sense 😆

@Samsi17 congratulations! ✨

@DownWithCremeEggs congratulations! I’m pretty sure the digital weeks are more sensitive so should show for you soon 💖

@devma I think I can see something there. Have you got the original picture as well?

Happy Sunny Saturday everyone!

how is everyones weekend going?

thismorning I got what i think is a vvvfl or maybe me being deluded, been having pinching pains from 8-9dpo and i’m currently 10dpo.

will test with frer tomorrow but im feeling very torn as if if this could be it this month or if im too wishful

will attach pic (has been edited to make it more obvious what im looking at as the camera is useless)

will update in the coming days x

Period arrives this morning so I’m out. Best of luck for everyone still waiting for their positives this month

I took some bloodwork yesterday and everything looked good but FSH levels. Women in follicular phase has 3-8 but my test showed 17 which can compare with a women in menopause.

You shouldn’t look at the tests before a doctor has analyzed it and called you up but I did anyways and now I feel a little sad. Hopefully I have good eggs even though I don’t have many :( I’m only 23 so I find It so strange, already thinking about if we need to do IVF

Sending hugs ❤️

Stop testing!!! You are pregnant 😁. I think you'll drive yourself absolutely nuts if you keep testing. If AF isn't due yet then tests that aren't supposed to be early ones won't pick up the hcg xx

BFN for me this morning and I think my temp is coming down. AF due today or tomorrow so I think it's on to the next one. Feeling pretty deflated, trying to look at the positives. I have a solo long haul flight with my 2 year old in May which would have been more difficult if I was in the depths of morning sickness.
