TTC APRIL

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

@pocketbunny ah bless you! It'll be worth it though Grin It really is a long wait isn't it!!

pocketbunny · 12/04/2022 10:20

@MrsUSAinUK Wowza, your poor mum! Hope you don't end up with such bad morning sickness!! And hope your static shows up soon!!

Itching to see people's tests!

RMS0209 · 12/04/2022 10:27

@alwaysseeingstars got to do silly thing's to keep me busy, and going to the cinema one night after work too - thats 1 day of the dreaded TWW filled Smile

ANOTHER flashy! Is that day 10 or 11 of them now? just keep smiling and hopefully.
Good idea keeping a note.

I'm ok today thanks Smile I seem to be coping this month a bit better than normal, i don't know if its because I am DTD more so I keep thinking.. well we have little guys in ready if need be haha... but i'm sure that will change as the day goes on.
VERY consuming! my poor mind.

@pocketbunny oh noooo! poor you, hope you feel better soon.

@MrsGrealish how you doing ? still sane x

Thank you for all the positive messages! Really do hope it doest take to long for us to fall again.

Is anyone using a clear blue fertility monitor? I got pregnant first time with it which ended in mc but were using it again this time. I seem to peak on day 16 but I only have a 28 day cycle is that normal? Does anyone know?

Refraining myself from taking any pointless pregnancy tests at this point is so tough. Luckily I have a super busy week so hoping it flies by!

Sending everyone positive test vibes !

RMS0209 · 12/04/2022 11:25

@izzyroo92 sending just a bit more positivity your way Smile

no sorry not used that, I have the purple advance ovulation checker.
I peak around day 16 too but I start spotting day 28/29 so I think that's ok.

NO to the early tests, that's great keep busy don't take them. x

@pocketbunny @MrsUSAinUK with DS i vomited every single damn morning from 5-9 weeks. Nausea stayed until 15 weeks. Definitely not looking forward to it kicking it again. Last time I felt so rough all day I could barely get out of bed apart from the nights. Turns out I was low in iron so I'm taking pregnancy vitamins from earlier this time. Last time it was just folic acid and vit D hoping it will help 😩 I might invest in some sickness bands

Longbin · 12/04/2022 11:43

@izzyroo92 peak on day 16 with 28 day cycle is normal

alwaysseeingstars · 12/04/2022 12:58

@RMS0209 day 10 now... more tests should be delivered today as I used the last one this morning - had a panic yesterday haha! Glad you're feeling positive, like you say you're managing to DTD lots so you're giving yourself the best possible chance!!
@izzyroo92 sorry not tried that, I just use the purple CB like RMS0209 does! Keep yourself busy like you say to avoid early testing :)
@Longbin how are you doing? :)

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 15:24

@RMS0209 absolutely not! Did 2 tests this morning. Both negative. One was an FRER might has well have just peed on a fiver 🤣

MeganMama28 · 12/04/2022 16:04

@alwaysseeingstars so I'm on CD21 (and about 8DPO - I think!) So annoying about the flashing smiley! My sister said once she'd love to reach in and slap the smile if she could 😂 pretty sure she had loads in a row come to think of it but she got her solid smiley and DS after all the frustration ❤

@RMS0209 a Chinese treat sounds IDEAL! May have to copy!! Mentally I'm feeling all over the place. Go through waves of thinking I definitely am or definitely not. How are you feeling?

@pocketbunny feeling really queasy today too! My cup of tea did not sit well in my stomach at all. Equally could've caught one of the many nursery bugs from my DS! Pretty sure he licks the toys so wouldn't be surprised! Hope you manage to eat something and begin to feel a bit better.

Bought FRERs today but gave them to OH and said not to put them in the bathroom until I've gone to bed tomorrow evening - just don't trust myself!

MeganMama28 · 12/04/2022 16:06

@MrsGrealish cracking up at peeing on a fiver 🤣 !! Maybe we should all look into buying shares in FRERs?! Hahaa x

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 16:22

@MeganMama28 ugh I'm leaving it 2 days now. Just felt so rubbish yesterday I kinda hoped

alwaysseeingstars · 12/04/2022 17:00

@MrsGrealish sorry about the tests, what DPO are you? Keep positive x

@MeganMama28 thank you for telling me about your sister, I will keep going and keep my hopes up ❤

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 17:06

@alwaysseeingstars 8dpo (between 7 and 9) so rounding it to 8. Ovulation was confusing xx

RMS0209 · 12/04/2022 18:57

@alwaysseeingstars oh so still early so plenty time for that static smile!  hope the extra tests have arrived?

@MrsGrealish nooooo air slap! whyyyy 😂 what are you like.

@MeganMama28 yes copy! Chinese for all Smile I have those waves too... CD14 no peak yet so in the back of my mind I'm not ovulating this month... who knows why I'm like this but it's annoying, then I'll get a peak and I won't be pregnant I'll just know 1DPO then AF arrives and I'm all optimistic this is my cycle... 🤡 x

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 19:17

@RMS0209 because I'm weak and felt so crappy yesterday I thought something must be happening 😂😂 that's my kinda girl..airslap the life outta me 🤣

Longbin · 12/04/2022 19:28

@alwaysseeingstars good thank you! Taking a break from ttc now, I have a laparoscopy in June and then starting IVF in September rather than trying naturally.

MeganMama28 · 12/04/2022 20:52

@MrsGrealish we're on a similar DPO stage I think I'm about 8DPO but could be 9 or 7? Who knows! Going to allow myself to POAS Thursday morning the earliest I think? Will try my best to wait until the weekend but who am I kidding?!

@RMS0209 it really does mess with your mind doesn't it! If only we could take a sanity supplement along with our folic acid! How long is your cycle normally? CD14 I'd definitely think like there is still time to ovulate 😊

RMS0209 · 12/04/2022 21:03

@MeganMama28
It really does! Haha I like that sanity supplement... no doubt me 2 am google searches will find something for us haha.
Oh no, I know fine I didn't get a peak until CD16 last month just my mind is my own worst enemy haha!
My cycle varies between 29/32 days. X

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 21:12

@MeganMama28 I'm waiting til Thursday too after this mornings waste. FRER should really post 6 days early provided you are in the 6%🙄

MrsGrealish · 12/04/2022 21:14

@RMS0209 you said you were from Scotland? One of my best friends lives there now and your reaction to me wasting a test was actually her reaction 😂

RMS0209 · 12/04/2022 22:24

Hello, can I join the thread? I'm going to start TTC after a miscarriage and hoping that I will be able to start at the end of April. (Need to first get a negative pregnancy test before being able to start again) x

Tor2022 · 12/04/2022 23:14

Just seen that there's a TTC after miscarriage thread, I may pop over there! Wink
