TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@alwaysseeingstars omg i have never heard that! will stay away though on the risk, thanks for passing the info along.

@QueenBee22 awesome to share the TWW with you, too! we can have a challenge to see who can go the longest to POAS lol

@Presently14 thank you so much for Mira advice, I was seriously going to get it in my madness yesterday and then I realised it's basically the bloody CB sticks anyway that you put into a holder lol. (Maybe a bit more accurate).

I think the better idea for us is to try and DTD every other day over the ten days I might ovulate (we Def won't be able to do every other day all month!)

Hi ladies,

hope it’s ok if I jump on this thread. I think we all need someone to talk to during tww or we’ll go mad!

i am currently 2dpo so I’ve got a while to go until I can test but the wait is already killing me. This is the first time I’ve ovulated since December when I had a chemical, plus I have PCOS and my cycles are all over the place! We bd on the day of my positive opk and the days afterwards. Fingers crossed this could be our time!

sending hugs and baby dust to you all x

@alwaysseeingstars we can try and wait until 14 DPO together! strength in numbers.

I never knew that about the iburprofen. Thanks so much for sharing that information.

@MrsUSAinUK sounds good. I am actually 4DPO not 5 like I thought. Going to try to hold out until 14 DPO if I can.

Welcome @Tigertightss big hugs hope this month is for you! 💛

Just catching reading up today now ladies since my app wants to play ball x

It won't let me attach pictures to my messages anymore, grrr
How is everybody? I hope everybody has a lovely weekend and the sun is shining... nice to take our minds off TTC madness!💛🌞

@QueenBee22 @MrsUSAinUK what date will you be testing? My date 14DPO would be 02/05 (or 01/05 if I went by the CB ov result) so I'll try to stick with 02/05 😆
@Tigertightss welcome! lovely group of ladies on here for you to vent to/laugh with/ask random questions of! Sorry to hear about the chemical and the PCOS x

@alwaysseeingstars @QueenBee22 My 14DPO would be 30/4, I'll try to hold off until then but might test on 28/4 at 12DPO knowing myself

@alwaysseeingstars AF is due 02/05 so will try to hold off until then but knowing me I will also cave at 12 DPO! It is going to be a long 10 days but I am hoping next week will go quickly!

@MrsUSAinUK @QueenBee22 Oh guys you're totally going to make me want to test at 12DPO 😂have set myself an alarm to tell myself not to test until at least 30/04 haha.
@RMS0209 hope you had a nice evening? how you feeling today?😊

BFN again for me today 11DPO! Going to test once more tomorrow morning then accept my loss this month!

sending you lots of love @Kitchiekobo ! I know the feeling of frustration as my symptoms have all disappeared too! It’s an emotional rollercoaster for sure

@alwaysseeingstars hi! thanks for checking in ❤️
go for testing 30/04.. nothing more heart breaking than an early negative test still get PTSD from January time!

I had a great evening thanks, cinema and food was delighted. I'm ok thanks! how you doing? feeling ok surprisingly just glad I finally got a peak and hopefully I ovulated! Xx

What a shit show of a day😩

@Hjudge56 sorry about the bfn it's truly horrible searching for lines😕

@RMS0209 glad you're feeling good! And the sunshine helps😊

@alwaysseeingstars @QueenBee22 @MrsUSAinUK so exciting deciding when to test! At least you have company. I joined another thread around testing time and as soon as someone tested we all did😂 not my best move financially

Not even an OPK done today. Not sure there's much point anymore the very least the consultant wants me on is aspirin 😩 'stroke risk stroke risk' not sure I want to experience another chemical after Januarys debacle

Good luck ladies I'll cheer you on from the sidelines 🙏☺️

Hi @MrsGrealish what have I missed? Are you ok? What is the aspirin for? X

@RMS0209 yes lovely all good xx just felt like a moan. Moan complete 😅

Best place here for a moan !! Big hugs x

@Hjudge56 sorry to hear about the BFN. It is very disheartening.

@MrsGrealish thanks I can totally see how tempting it would be to test once one person starts testing! We will see if we have any willpower @alwaysseeingstars and @MrsUSAinUK !

@RMS0209 glad you are feeling well. It is a relief to get a peak OPK when you have a long cycle you just think it's never going to happen and when you see the dark line it is such a relief!

Hi everyone, trying to catch up as had a frantic day before A/L keeps in!

@MrsGrealish sorry you've been feeling down, when do you fly? So hope you have a great hols and the weather in Greece is good for us both!

I'm.keen to see some tests lol, feel robbed this last cycle... Whose is going to test first 👀

Anyone else cycle day 4? AF almost over thank god, so we go again...

@MO22 CD6 here. Just post bank holiday work madness and staff shortages.

Flying on 8 May and am v excited!!

@MrsGrealish ah amazing, I'm off on Sunday!

Mumsnet is being weird, haven't had notifications or anything for a few days - how is everyone?!

Just catching up again!
Had a bit of a rough time as AF was 5 days late (2nd cycle after covid could've caused it?) so has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster as having to keep testing too.

The witch finally arrived yesterday so now we can begin to get excited about TTC baby #2 again! Hoping cycle #2 will be the one!

Here is our TTC POA this month 😂:

• SMEP
• Multivitamin (not vit a) royal jelly, folic acid and low dose aspirin
• 'Fertility' smoothies (maca powder and seed cycling)

This combo worked last time so I feel like there is method to my madness!

Nice to see lots of familiar names here and hope this will be our month of BFPs!

Not jealous at all... @MO22 @MrsGrealish x

@RMS0209 exciting that the TWW is just around the corner for you!

Hahaaa I love my POA lists not sure my OH does 😂 Royal jelly says it 'might' help with fertility but everyone I know who has been through IVF swears by it in terms of helping it stick 🤞 definitely prefer folic acid over pregnacare too

AF seems to have calmed today. Yesterday it was super heavy so a bit of a shock!
