May 2025 TTC Support Group

Hello, please can I join. About to get my copper coil removed and then start TTC! What’s the aspirin and beetroot juice for?

@BerrieSweetthat is kind of cute our potential babies playing hide and seek and coming when called - makes so much sense tho they must conserve their energy for when the egg is actually there then make a run for it when it is

We DTD but im pretty sure ive missed the window (felt ovulation ages before and pretty sure the egg was not still chilling at that point) so im excited to start afresh next cycle!

i may not bother with the opks i started to test this month to track then got busy and didnt test when i actually needed to so its taken the pressure off massively. Im having aspirin and beetroot juice just incase, any other recommendations?

I just found out the cutest thing!😂 Apparently sperm go into sleepmode in pockets in the cervix if an egg isn’t there when they arrive, and when the egg is released it gives off a scent that makes them swim back out and try to fertilize the egg. They survive in the pockets in up to 5 days (as most probably know) if you have EWCM. So cute 🥹😂

Hahah yeeeeess 😂 I have unfollowed a few, right now their content just reminds me of what I don’t have, even if I’m happy for them 💗 It’s worse when it’s colleagues or maybe DH friends announcing, you can’t unfollow them 😂

Thank you. Will try for this cycle. Fingers crossed.

Hi all. Do you mind if I join?

Have been chatting mainly on the TTC Feb 2025 group up until this point.

Been TTC for my #2, my partner's 1st since Jan 25. Much to our surprise in March, after what I thought was my period, I tested positive. Obviously was quite anxious as had been bleeding. And then confirmed miscarriage at just over 6 weeks.

We wanted to start trying again straight away, but perhaps a bit tentatively... I do BBT and use OPKs but wouldn't say very reliantly this month. Reckon I'm about 10dpo today.

Had some spotting last night after sex (which happened last month, and took it as a sign AF was on her way... Thinking the same this time but very conscious this is what happened last cycle when I did end up pregnant).

All in all, bit emotional and confused and just want to get out of this TWW with a definite outcome either way.

Hoping this is a lucky thread! Maybe some Valentines Day due dates??

Every day is best, it should in theory be lower in the follicular phase, rise after ovulation and stay higher in luteal phase, then drop again just before period.

@MayaB it’s hard isn’t it, I’m only cycle 4 so can imagine you are getting sad at 15 months. Hopefully his S.A. comes back ok. My OH is also going to have one in May and il have bloods done again. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 36 and OH is 42 so I am telling myself it’s going to take a while.

Thank you. What time of the month do you have to check BBT? Is it in the lead up to ovulation like LH? And should it go up for ovulation? Sorry so many questions 😂 x

Thank you lovely 💗
I am the same 🤣 3 of my favourite influencers announced their pregnancies in the past week. I was thinking to unfollow them for a while, I just can't take it.

I use an oura ring for bbt monitoring - my partner bought one for valentines day 😂. It's good in that I don't have to take my temperature every morning at the same time - which I understand is quite important if you're using a thermometer. My 2 yo is an early riser and doesn't sleep through consistently so I like having something that tracks it through the night.

I would say I don't necessarily trust it to be suuuuper accurate and I think it is a bit lower than it would be if I took my temperature in my mouth, purely because obviously the ring is worn on the finger. Overall, I'm glad I have it but I'm not sure I would 100% recommend it given the price point.

I like the data that tracking bbt gives and I also like that it gives me a heads up when my periods coming. Having said that it does add another thing that can stress me out sometimes. I'm CD9 today and my temperature has risen for no discernable reason and sometimes things like that make me worry there's something wrong with me.

Thank you xx
This would be my 2nd but concieved twice before on the first try with my ex-husband (one pregnancy ended in missed miscarriage). And now married again but we've had no luck so far, 15 months ttc 😫 Waiting for his tests next month' because mine came back fine.

I'm also interested in this, this month!

Not sure if I have posted here yet but im joining yet another one of these!

Tested 10dpo today and negative so just waiting for AF to start fresh cycle. I’ve not tracked BBT before. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?

Good luck everyone x

Yes, that's the one! Thank you

It’s the Sperm Meets Egg Plan, I think!

Hi all! AF is just arriving so cycle 3 begins now for baby2. I'm 35 now and it's already not happened as quick as baby1, who is now 4, so I'm conscious of this!

I read on a thread the other day about a 'something method' (obviously replace the word something with the correct word...). It was about having sex every other day, then the days of or after ovulation, then 3 days later or something like that. Does anyone know what it is called? The poster said it worked for them so wanting to read up on it!

Here's to a positive month of trying for us ✨️

Hey joining from the last thread. 4dpo today and already symptom spotting even though there isn’t any and impossible this early 😂 keep seeing posts on other threads of people sayinf they just know when they are pregnant before implantation and it’s hard not to feel like this isn’t the month! X

Hi! Following on from aprils thread. Into our 3rd month TTC number 2. just finishing my period

I knew I was not pregnant and yet delulu me still counted everything as some kind of symptom 🫠 tested negative two days before period and yet still cried plenty when it actually came. So silly - I know that 3 months is nothing but I’m still frustrated and annoyed and upset.

trying to get some realistic expectations in me!

baby dust to everyone ✨

Yes! That’s why when TTC, it feels like life is a bit on pause for me, because you just wait all the time. I really try to focus doing things that makes me happy, but now with Easter Holiday it gets a little harder to not think about TTC because more free time. It will be worth it in the end, nothing is as exciting as thinking about getting pregnant and visualizing what life could look like in a few months 🥹

I’m still waiting to ovulate. I think it’ll be bang on day 14 and I have a rapid rise so not worried about current low LH. Just want it to hurry up though! There is SO much waiting around isn’t there? I don’t want to feel like I’m wishing time away but it’s exactly what happens, especially once the TWW begins…

Literally got my solid smiley now 😂 wohooo!!🥳

Oh gosh I don't know then 🫠 how confusing. Do you have any cheap tests to compare with? X

I feel you!! Sending so much love ❤️ I’m at the point of getting jealous when influencers announce their pregnancys 😂
