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 😂

🙋🏼‍♀️ Currently 6dpo.
Good high temps increasing daily. Experiencing sore nipples and boobs (usually only get pain under armpit) feeling a heaviness type of feeling low down at times.
Been ttc for 10 months and had 3 cp- hoping this is our month :)

@FayLiv ah I see, I have the one that pinpoints 2 days, with the smiley face. I definitely conceived my daughter the day after ovulation so this time I’m trying the day of first positive, then skip a day try a day skip a day try a day, so 3 times from first positive OPK. If I wasn’t using a donor I would probably DTD every day for a week though x
@Kez152 good luck! Xx

@kez152 good luck!! Let us know how you get on 😊 x

@FayLiv I'd recommend Clearblue Connected OPKs. They are expensive but I conceived DS first month of using them. I plan to use them again time round. They detect the 4 or more fertile days.

Has anyone drank pomegranate juice while ttc? I've read online it's supposed to help. I keep searching for anything that might help. I'm only on cycle 3 of ttc and already feeling like it's not happening soon enough. 😔

@LovelyLion3 I haven't heard that one.. I did hear grapefruit juice is meant to be good for cm in the run up to your fertile week? It sure how true that is I'd try anything lol

Hi all!

Mind if I join the party? Cycle 1 of TTC #2 but I think I’m out this cycle. AF due Thursday.

DD1 arrived in cycle 2 so was feeling hopeful for a quick one but I think it’s a no this time.

I’m on CD26 and have been having lots of symptoms (sore boobs) and was certain I was pregnant, had a BFN Sunday, then Monday it was a BFN but when I came back an hour later (yes of course I fished it out of the bin) there was a clear blue line. Hours later an evap line appeared BESIDE the blue line so I’m guessing the original line, although outside the window, was legit?

So I was hopeful and excited to POAS (“6 days early” ClearBlue) this morning but it was a big fat BFN. Even after an hour. Not even the faintest. So must have been a false positive or cp? I don’t really understand how a cp manifests in terms of tests.

I’m developing a serious POAS addiction, I just want to pee on everything I see. Even my COVID lateral flow tests are triggering to me lol!!!! I’ve spent too much on clear blue lol.

It’s been a rubbish couple of years with lots of bad news in the wider family, work has been tough, and I’d really love something squishy to look forward to. I know it’s not the best reason to have another but I do love being a mummy do DD1 (most of the time) so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m in for

Hoping for baby dust for everyone xxx

@Fiep haha you sound exactly like me! The second I’m awake in mornings I’m unwrapping a pregnancy test! Af due by Friday and still glaringly negative tests. With my daughter I got a faint bfp at 11dpo, I’m pretty sure if I was pregnant I would have had a positive by now. But yeah, also digging it out the bin every day just to double check...multiple times a day.... yikes.
Fingers crossed for you x

@Losd exactly! I’m sure I’d have known by now. This morning I am proud of myself for NOT poas but am feeling very depressed sterilising my mooncup again ready for Friday
On the plus side, I treated myself to a giant double espresso flat white - if I’m not preggo I might as well indulge my other addiction!!!

Ladies, how often do you DTD when trying? Im due to ovulate Monday/Tues and have already started now. Just wondering as feel like it becomes a chore when TTC so wanted to see if people tried a week before, 2 or just at peak?

@Msd2416 We aimed for every few days with #2. This time we're both shattered and it's more like once a week.. taking a very relaxed approach! X

Aw yay so nice to see there are a few positives!!!

Oh oops that’s the other TTC thread! Silly me!!!

Re DTD, every couple of days around ovulation and otherwise not really! I’m tired! Lol

@ttc19 we have been trying every other day then when due to peak everyday! I feel like its just a bit much! xx

@Msd2416 To be honest this is my first full cycle off the pill and I'm really not sure what my body is doing this time round. I think once I've got a better idea we might try a bit harder. I should really have had a period by now and I'm not pregnant or have noticed any ovulation signs like I have before so I'm not sure if this is my body saying "that's enough love" ha ha.

@Msd2416 I’m using a sperm donor and home IUI so it’s all very regimented. I aim for 3 times per cycle, but as long as I catch it the day before and day of/after ovulation I’m happy with that. This will just be cycle 2 this time, but it took a few cycles to conceive my wee girl in 2019 x

Hi ladies..

I am on day 5 of period, very very light almost done I would say now and randomly did an cheap opk. The test line is like a positive! Very strong.. did a clear blue opk and an empty ⭕️ however the lines are strong when I took out the stick. Any reason for this? My glow app suggests I will be ovulating in about a week!

@FayLiv did you try doing a pregnancy test just incase?! 🤞🏻

What apps is everyone using to track?xx

@xoJellyBean No I haven't, I hadn't even thought to as I've had 5 days of a period..I had the usual tummy cramps at the start and general yucky feeling - I feel ok now though now it's finishing. I really don't think it would be that? I've had two children before and if I've been pregnant it's been a missed period. If I was pregnant which I know opks can sometimes detect surely then the clear blue would have a smiley face too? Very strange!! X

@Msd2416 I'm using Clue x

@FayLiv that's so strange!! Maybe just a faulty test 🤔 when are you due to ovulate?

@Msd2416 I'm using fertility friend and also Femometer (plus the Femometer thermometer and OPKs) x

@FayLiv I had a full period before taking an ovulation test (which was a blaring positive), googled it and ended up taking a pregnancy test which was positive! The outcome wasn’t great for me but you never know 🤞x

@Aila1994 Ah! really?
I am sorry to hear that.

Well I certainly don't feel pregnant but that's interesting. I'm going to keep track and see how I get on in the next week or two with my opks as I'm pretty sure it's just a period. The line line has got paler now but still a solid line. Bizarre, I wonder what my body is up to!

My fertile week starts on the 12th according to glow. X
