Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April. By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

@FlyHighSky72 i love clearblue but if you're a serial tester like me it can become quite pricey 😂

FlyHighSky72 · 06/05/2025 14:02

Haha thanks @Ec2808and @Iris2024- I might buy the clear blue multipack which has one digital and one normal one….

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 13:30

@FlyHighSky72 i also have the easy@home cheapies but have one weeks indicator digital just in case 😂

Good luck @Iris2024- fingers crossed this is our month!

What tests does everyone buy? I’ve bought some cheapies from Tesco but then looked at the reviews and they look rubbish!!

Thank you my love, baby dust to you too ✨

I get the easy at home ones from amazon.

@Iris2024this is ttc cycle 3 so I know it’s still early days compared to others but had a chemical pregnancy ttc cycle 1 and now I just want it to work even more if that makes sense 😭 what about you? 🤍

Also so sorry about your chemical, I’ve had one before and it’s so hard to understand and accept ❤️

BGxxx · 06/05/2025 13:09

@curliegirlie im cd14 so we’re close! I didn’t ovulate till day 21 last month but this cycle it’s looking like it’ll be earlier so I’m keeping my fingers crossed, I don’t seem to have success when I ovulate late

@ThisZippyViewer youll definitely have to treat yourself to a test over the weekend 🤣

We had 6 months last year - January to June

@BGxxx 🤣🤣 10dpo will be Monday next week, cant see myself getting through a weekend at home without testing

ThisZippyViewer · 06/05/2025 12:56

2Sugars2 · 06/05/2025 11:57

I'm also 4dpo today and already trying to symptom spot (I don't know what for as I literally have no symptoms!!) I was also planning on starting to test at 10dpo

Ah good to have someone in the same boat!! 🥰

curliegirlie · 06/05/2025 12:24

I hate this bit of the cycle - before ovulation when I have no real idea of when to expect that peak - currently CD13, when usually my ov day is around CD15 or 16, but last cycle was playing proper silly buggers and I got a peak on CD6(!!) so I feel like I've been doing those OPKs forever, as I started early this time in case that weirdness was repeated. But if it is CD15 or 16, that means my fertile period will be mid week when I'm knackered (rather than over the bank holiday when we got a lot of action in 🙄). I'm just so bored of all of this, plus bitter that March didn't work out, when for two sweet weeks it looked like the tedium of 3 years TTC was finally over.

4dpo today and for some reason feeling a bit deflated about this month
My ovulation was delayed so I think likely because of that I feel like im definitely out and its all been a bit dragged out
What day does everyone start testing? I had told myself 10dpo is that still too early? X

I do 9dpo because I can’t wait any longer 🤣 I do try and wait it out but I struggle

So glad of this group though - not that I want you to be feeling the same as me obv @Iris2024!! My DS is 9 and with a different dad so who knows if I’ll conceive now given I’m older and different dad! How old is yours? Feeling very unlikely here

My daughter is 6, we conceived her when I was 34 and we are now 41 😩 We tried for 6 months last year then stopped as a holiday coming up and now this is cycle 2 of trying again.

Yay @FigPig@jelliebean9and @Emilym1609congrats!! Lines looking great and so exciting to see it on the digital!!

Good luck @Iris2024are those usual symptoms before AF for you? I’m 1DPO and absolutely nothing - feeling nervous and a bit weepy but pretty sure that’s just me feeling old and unlucky/unlikely to conceive

I do get sore boobs but usually right before my period I think. AF due the 16th, I’m only 3DPO though so I’m pretty sure it’s hormone related.

Im the same as you, I’m so worried that I won’t be able to conceive again and it’s making me really sad 😔

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 10:38

@Iris2024 i know amazing soo glad we have this group to communicate and make the tww a little bit more bearable 😂
I'm a little bit confused now really not sure what dpo i am..based on my temp and lh tests but noticed very white creamy cm sorry tmi 😂and very frequent urination which is very bizarr because implantation likely hasn't even occured yet...

Awwww I know, I don’t know what I would do without this group and it’s a comfort that will all be doing tests together. Always feel like I’ll be left behind though and not get those likes 🥹

ttcjourney20001 · 06/05/2025 10:45

Think I will ask for some sort of medication or something, I managed to eat breakfast but on the way to the train station I said to Jack (other half) I feel sick and as soon as I said it I felt it come up, but the toilets at the station are out of order, had to hold it in. Currently sat on a very hot train trying not to go sick everywhere 😓

FlyHighSky72 · 06/05/2025 10:42

@ttcjourney20001sorry to hear you’re feeling so poorly - def agree with the other that it doesn’t sound normal - imagine if you were trying to work - def need something imo!!

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 10:42

@Katfluff21 Thanks ! good luck to you too 😊
