May 2025 TTC Support Group

Looks like a solid rise! I had a big dip in temp yesterday at 6DPO but it's back up today, don't know if that means I'm out as it needs a sustained high temp, or whether it doesn't matter or was just a dodgy temp reading.

In a Tapas bar having a water whilst everyone around me having a drink. Run to toilet and obviously by now you all know what I did, ruined their toilet too. Definitely will be contacting the Dr tomorrow when I’m home because this sickness is just ruining me

I'm feeling a bit deflated too, I just feel like it's not going to happen this cycle.

I used to test from 9 DPO as that's when I got a BFP with my daughter, but after a couple months I found it too depressing so now I don't test at all and just wait for my BBT to drop 🙃

Sorry forgot to attach pic!

Meee! 🙌 I’m 6dpo today. Started BBT training this month and I’m pretty sure this a good surge, does anyone know?

Had progesterone blood test today as I’m on Letrozole, 6th cycle with PCOS. TTC for much longer than that though! Had no period for years after my son.

@peanutForever just praying to the conception gods 😂

Hey has anyone had an raspberry leaf tea to help ttc? Anythjng else anyone is doing to hellp?

@Iris2024 girl gang 😂😂 also feeling nervous! I'm worried that something is wrong after my D&C in February.

I'm feeling a lot of positivity in this group 👏🏻

No, sadly not, I’m due on the 9th. Currently 11dpo, tested with a faint positive yesterday and today 🙏

You might be right @jelliebean9- we’re so like cycle twins! Is your period due on the 16th too??? Fingers crossed for a longer luteal phase and nice sticky beans for us

@FlyHighSky72 hopefully it happens quickly like last time

@ChaE05 they urge is hard to fight isn't it. Still so early for you so hopefully the next test is a positive

I hope so @Bumblebee1984because I’ve never used OPKs before I’m not sure if this is normal for my cycle or not. I have a DS who is 9 conceived first cycle trying but I was 9 years younger then and my cycles were more like 30 days so not sure!! Fingers crossed

If it’s a consolation, my cycles are 26/27 days usually and my luteal phase is 14 days, I ovulate on day 13/14. Going on pains and EWCM coming and going. They’ve been that way since stopping BF. The first month I used the OPK, the digi cb ones with the smiley. I never ovulated until day 17! Which was super late for me. I got a little obsessive with the OPK and trying to catch the peak with intercourse that I think it made my cycle rouge. If it’s your first month doing OPK then maybe it’s something like that too?? It’s almost like we will it so much and focus on it so much that it doesn’t happen 😂

@ChaE05 i feel you! i'm 3-4 dpo and seriously fighting the urge! but i'm running to the toilette like every 15 minutes which was my first symptom before bfp with my daughter so i dunno 😂

Just tested at 8dpo with afternoon wee! Ermm whyyyyy did I do that lol. Obviously a bfn! Was going to hold back until 10dpo and was totally fine with that. But had a sudden urge.

@FlyHighSky72 ah ok. Well hopefully as you ovulated a little later then maybe you'll have a slightly longer cycle to give you that slightly longer luteal phase.

Anyone else quite early on in their cycle? I'm only on day 5 today and if my cycles are like how they were when ttc last time I'll be due to ovulate around CD12 which would be this time next week

Thanks @jelliebean9! Makes sense

@Bumblebee1984this is my first month TTC and tracking. My cycles range for 28-29 days recently and I ovulated on day 18 hence only 10 days to implant! Hoping you’re right and my cycle is longer this time but not sure - very worried it might be impossible for me to implant even if I conceive

I usually wouldn’t keep tests in the house because I have absolutely zero willpower to resist early testing if they’re in the house and it does make me spiral. It was my husband that brought this pack of first response on his own hunch we’d got lucky this month. So let’s blame him 🤣 I always have a CB weeks indicator. But I’d never use it until I was late for AF. If I WAS to indulge myself (I think I might do if this cycle doesn’t stick) with consistent early testing then I’d use easy @ home!

@FlyHighSky72 what makes you think your due AF 11dpo? Luteal phase is commonly around 12-14 days so you might not be due until a few days after that? Fingers crossed you don't actually get to find out though and you get your BFP. Where are you in your cycle now?

@Bumblebee1984i don’t know - this is my first month and first using OPKs! Do you?

@FlyHighSky72 do you always have an 11 day luteal phase?

Thanks @Ec2808im going to try just to test on 10DPO as my period is due on day 11 so I don’t really have a choice!!

@Bumblebee1984ill try those if I’m not successful this cycle (thinking positive here!!)

@FlyHighSky72 @Iris2024 I get how you are feeling as I am also older at 40 but trying to stay positive.

@ThisZippyViewer I try to wait past 10dpo. I actually tested negative at 10pdo with my son and then when AF never showed and I felt a little off I tested and was a blazing BFP. This is first proper cycle ttc #3 and will be trying to wait until after 10dpo but I know it's hard.

@FlyHighSky72 I like the First Response ones or also the Boots ones that are very similar
