Anyone TTC May

[FayLiv]

Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

Me!

We were NTNP for March and April but for various reasons weren't able to DTD at the right times anyway. This will be our first month making a conscious effort!

I have very long cycles (34-44 days) and am using soy isoflavones to promote ovulation which definitely worked last month, just not until CD 24...

Should be ovulating either the 2nd or 3rd week of May so we'll see how it goes!

Me! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm just waiting for AF to come now too. Had quite a strong feeling I was pregnant this month due to bad cramps at 10dpo (which I convinced myself was implantation 🙄) did a FRER at 14dpo and annoying BFN. Have quite long cycles which are usually about 32-35 days.

This will be 4th month properly trying after a CP on Jan.

Good luck to you both!

I am really going to make more of a conscious effort next month as I'm so ready for another baby. I have 2 already but I have been fantasising of a 3rd for about a year or more!

This is my first time actively trying and using opks as both of my children were happy surprises.. I can't believe how tricky it can be!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞
If Af comes soon this will be the first time not using tampons as I've heard they're not helpful if you want to conceive.. I'll do anything! 🤣

If anyone's got any helpful advice send it my way! Xx

Me! Im 13dpo now and AF is due Thursday. Negative frer today so trying again in May! Baby dust to everyone! ✨

Me! AF has just arrived today 4.5 weeks after a MC so I am ready to get back to trying again. Really hoping this is my turn because I really hate pregnant people right now, and there are so many of them!

My birthday is also in May so I’m going to ask for a successful pregnancy too. Great idea!

Hi girls, AF arrived for me yesterday so looking ahead to the next cycle. TTC baby #1. This will be cycle #4 for us. I’m taking a multivitamin and have started evening primrose this month. I have 27/28 day cycles but quite a short follicular phase - I normally ovulate on CD11. It makes for a very long 2 week wait (normally 16 days!). Good luck to everyone this month.

Hi girls, cd 5 after cp so hoping it doesn't knock my cycle out of whack as wanting to try again ASAP. Had 2 mc last year so needing all the luck possible x

@FayLiv What are DHA and co-q10? Not heard of those x

They are supposed to improve your egg quality and help towards conception. I'll try anything! I actually read about it from Luisa Zissman who was trying to conceive her girls and managed to fairly quickly I hear from using the vitamins she suggests www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647

I am due on tomorrow. I took a cheapie on Monday and I couldn't see a line so I'm guessing I'm out but I don't want to accept it until af comes 🤣

@keepingthehope Sorry to hear about cp and MC too. Sending lots of good vibes.. it will happen x

Good luck to you for next month too. We will get there eventually! 💪🏻

@FayLiv me! We're going to try again in May literally crossing everything! xxxx

Me!!!

Had a chemical in feb and have been trying straight away since the bleeding stopped with no luck as of yet - out for this month as AF started although I was 4 days late so got my hopes up!
Ordered more clearblue opks as they worked the first time I got pregnant! Tried to take a more relaxed approach for March/April but no luck so back to opks 🤣

@monkeyy97 literally same thing with us but had 3 chemicals now! tried to have a break april and be more relaxed. I think its easier said than done though. SO back to tracking this month! xx

@Msd2416
Gosh, my heart goes out to you. I was beside myself when it happened to me. This would be my 1st so I didn't know what to expect.

But yes I agree 🤣 I tried to be relaxed but I'm so impatient so now it's back to tracking 🤣🤣🤣

Me! 🙋‍♀️ I'm 36 (37 in May though) and it'll be cycle 1 TTC #2. I will probably ovulate around 19th May

I have a 2 year old DS who took 11 cycles to conceive, probably due to my Endometriosis so I'm not expecting it to happen quickly this time either

I have short cycles 23-26 days and plan to use OPKs and chart my BBT again as I found it really helpful last time

@polkadotpixie Oh thats good your cycles are shorter! Mine seem to have got longer for no apparent reason? 31 days now...

Im ovulating around 10th :)

Hi ladies, ok if I join in? I’m technically still in the 2ww for April but I’m less than optimistic for this month, so pretty sure I’ll be TTC in May and hoping for TTC buddies! X

@Msd2416 I worry they're too short 😂 I'd probably worry either way though knowing me!

@Msd2416 when I was TTC my daughter my cycles went from 28 days to 31 days. The month I actually conceived I had skipped a period altogether! I conceived her in middle of March 2019 but my last period had been the start of January x

@Losd oh wow. How confusing is TTC ha! I feel like i learn something new everyday. With my daughter we decided to try and it happened first time. I feel like all this tracking etc is so WILD ahaha

I'm on CD3 after a CP, been trying for our second since January, really hoping May is going to be my month. xx

@Msd2416 haha it’s awful! I mean it’s great that we can time things but jeez it’s confusing sometimes! I managed to lose my clear blue opk so just used cheapies from last time that were expired and got positives 4 days in a row. My cycles since stopping breastfeeding recently are anything from 28-31 days so I’m really not sure when I actually ovulated. I’m single and using a donor (same donor as before) so really have to time it right! X

Hi ladies! Apologies in advance for what I'm sure will be a rambling post! This is my first post but I've been lurking for a while :) I'm on cycle 10 of ttc and trying to chivvy myself along that this month will be the one. My partner works away a lot so while we've been trying for a year, retrospective tracking tells me the first few tries were wildly out of line time wise :) My cycles can vary from 24-28 days, but I've found that with some (albeit internet cheapie) OPK's and watching my discharge I can predict when I'm ovulating and when I'll come on quite well, which is 'nice' if not disheartening every month haha.
Looking forward to chatting with you all and hoping for some good news stories! x

Hey! This is the first post I've found where it's not too late to join on hopefully 🙂

I came off the pill in November, had a normal AF in December, then in January and February my cycles were crazy long compared to normal. Got my hopes up thinking I was pregnant but it was just my body adjusting after the pill.

I'm due on next week and don't think I'm pregnant. I think my tracking apps were off as I forgot to adjust them as my cycles altered. I should really try the OPK's!

Hopeful for May along with you all!

Another one here!
This will be our first month TTC. Came off the pill February but have been using other contraception, as wanted to see what my cycle was like first. Had one 27 day cycle, just waiting for the second to start in the next few days.
