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…

@ttcjourney20001 yeah, you can. Just keep it cooler and drink water!

ttcjourney20001 · 08/05/2025 14:15

Can I have a bath while pregnant? Usually I have the absolutely scorching hot with no cold water added (my bf calls me a demon for this) but I’ve not had a bath since finding out and with how groggy I feel I could really appreciate one

@ttcjourney20001thsts awful. Calling the midwife or 111 is a good idea

Ah for God's sake @ttcjourney20001 definitely a good shout ringing your midwife.

Think I’d have to be dying to be offered a Dr appointment at this rate🤣 I’ll see how today goes but so far, continuously going sick at 3am this morning woke up at 7 sick again, had breakfast and kept it down so far but had a nap and my sickness is back I can feel I’m gonna hurl any moment

ttcjourney20001 · 08/05/2025 13:47

Hey everyone, phoned the Dr but they can’t offer me an appointment for another 2 weeks, but obviously I can’t wait that long as I’m starting to avoid food altogether. I’ll try 111 or calling my midwife 🤢💀🫶🏼

@BGxxx first month tracking bbt, and it has really stressed me out 😂deff not doing this again so hopefully this month we get our bfp 😂I had the ewcm and the surge and peak in LH but then low bbt 😂soo confusing all of this 😂

BGxxx · 08/05/2025 13:09

Ec2808 · 08/05/2025 12:46

@BGxxx hopefully you have better luck than me my bbt rose at 5dpo this morning 😂and pretty sure I ovulated either Friday or Saturday 😂

Omg bet you thought it would never happen!! I got my peak late on Tuesday evening so I’m guessing it’s happened because I had a bit of ewcm first thing this morning and now it’s gone. I find waiting for bbt to rise really stressful 🤣

jelliebean9 · 08/05/2025 07:20

You can see how faint and grey it is now! It’s definitely a CP!

Exactly like mine @jelliebean9 - it's so horrible isn't it. I barely let myself get excited this time as the same happened last month but even in those fleeting few moments you find yourself planning your whole life! Let yourself grieve, be kind to yourself, and I'll see you in the June group (although I'm not sure whether to take a month off as it's now happened two months in a row!!).

BGxxx · 08/05/2025 12:43

I think I ovulated overnight/this morning, just waiting for my bbt to confirm! Hoping this tww goes quick when I’m finally in it🤣

SureLook · 08/05/2025 10:50

@devma I'm not sure if it's positive yet cause I don't think the test line is darker than the control line. But definitely start BDing!

@Katfluff21 those twinges could be anything and nothing. I'm trying not to look into things too much cause then there's less disappointment.

Katfluff21 · 08/05/2025 10:30

@jelliebean9sorry to read your updates, fingers crossed for you and try to rest and relax ❤️

I'm on 7dpo today and have some backache and slight cramps. Not sure if it's just hormonal, has anyone had experience of this at this point of the cycle? We DTD 3 days in a row over ovulation and I'm planning on starting testing tomorrow. I've ordered some FRER tests but usually use the cheap Amazon strip ones!

Bumblebee1984 · 08/05/2025 10:25

@jelliebean9 I'm so sorry to read this this morning. Wishing you lots of luck for next month.

@ttcjourney20001 hope the doctors can help you today

I am now CD 7 and previously when I was ttc and tracking I tended to ovulate around CD12 so almost straight out of AF and into fertile window for me. Better get BD and will start OPK on Sunday I think

2Sugars2 · 08/05/2025 10:18

ohhh @jelliebean9 I'm sorry to read your update this morning. Be kind to yourself, it sounds like you are handling this like a trooper!! Sending love xx

ThisZippyViewer · 08/05/2025 10:12

@jelliebean9 lots of love x

devma · 08/05/2025 10:05

jelliebean9 · 08/05/2025 06:34

Morning everyone. No line progression for me! I thought this might be the case this morning. It’s been 48 hours and 13dpo now, I’d expect to see a stronger line. If anything I think it’s fading. Will expect AF to come over the weekend. And to try again next month! 😩 this is the thing with early testing and why I tell myself NOT to do it but here we are 🙄

Edited

So sorry lovely i hope youre okay, baby dust for next cycle❤️❤️❤️

peanutForever · 08/05/2025 09:58

@jelliebean9so sorry hope youre okay, you are more fertile after a chemical so wishing you lots of baby dust on the next cycle xx

DownWithCremeEggs · 08/05/2025 09:45

@jelliebean9 I'm so sorry. I had exactly the same last month. Wishing you baby dust 🥰

Ec2808 · 08/05/2025 09:44

@DownWithCremeEggs I know I would be babydancing 😍

DownWithCremeEggs · 08/05/2025 09:43

Morning all. Took these ovulation tests just now (both at the same time). I'm on cycle day 13. Positive?

Thank you all for your kind words everyone. Hoping lots of you get your BFPs this month. To anyone else in the same situation as me, I’ll see you in the June TTC threads 🩷

You might have a chance soon anyway, I had a chemical last cycle and ovulated on day 15 (counting start of chemical bleeding as day 1) which was right on time for me. Look after yourself and take it easy ❤️ xx
