Hoping for a June BFP 💖🌷💖

[Skylark1990]

Hi everyone, thought if start a new thread for those of us heading into another cycle and hoping for a BFP in June 🤞 I was on the May thread briefly but decided to pause TTC after two early miscarriages this year. Was actually lovely to have a break 😅 but excited to try again this month. CD 1 for me today!

I have a beautiful 20 month old daughter already.

Hopefully we can all keep each other company on this rollercoaster! X

It is quite useful to reduce caffeine intake slowly (no withdrawal then) so I switched to caffeine free Pepsi Max and decaf coffee whilst TTC and still on those now as breastfeeding still. I limit myself to one caffeinated drink a day as any more impacts on baby (DD).

I think it's a good idea to reduce caffeine if TTC and yeah definitely gradually so you don't get the dreaded headaches!

I cut down for another reason (last year before TTC) but feel much better for it now. I have one real coffee in the morning, and the rest of the day if I have tea or coffee I have decaff. I rarely drink fizzy drinks nowadays so I'm not too concerned about that.

I don't stick to this every day, e.g. if I go somewhere (to visit family / out for coffee and a cake / travel into work office which is a lonnnng drive) then I dont beat myself up for having a bit more caffeine. But almost every day I just have one coffee and maybe some chocolate.

@MissBlue93 i have no idea why I’m suddenly worrying about these things. I’m with a different partner as he has no children so we really want one and I am scared I won’t be able to even though I know of no reason why I wouldn’t. I think I’m worried I won’t ovulate because of my age which I know is silly when I have no reason to think that

Me too I'm with a new partner who has no kids! So I'm worried too that something won't work x

@Flittingaboutagain @LucyLoopyLu yea if I go a day without any I get a headache that evening! I don’t drink loads and don’t drink coffee or tea or eat much chocolate so my caffeine intake is pretty much the Pepsi max/Diet Coke and only 2 a day but still. It’s my only addiction.

@MissBlue93 it’s not a nice feeling is it. I’m sure we are both fine. Have you any other children?

Yes I've got 2 and fell really quick with both, they are 4/6 now! Have you?

@MissBlue93 I have one with my ex husband. She’s 7 in a few days. I’m not sure how long she took as we wasn’t actively trying just not being careful but our lives were so all over the place at that time that we only had sex every couple weeks. It was 8 months after I come off the pill but doubt we dtd much near ovulation.

@Skylark1990 thank you! Does your DD still breastfeed a lot? I've had to cut back on feeding to try and regulate my cycle.

First day of the TWW and it's already going slow!

With my first I had my coil removed and fell pregnant immediately, my 2nd we just didn't use any contraception for about a month or 2 and I fell pregnant. So very quick both times!

@MissBlue93 ooo hopefully won’t be much longer for you then 🤞

Re bbt even though I have bad sleep / a wakeful toddler and even with my shit sleep and night wakes and not being very good at taking temp at the same time I still got decent enough readings that it peaked after ovulation and then dropped on the day my period came, so if anyone wants to give it a go don't be too put off if you can't do it perfectly! I guess just take it with a pinch of salt if it doesn't look right ☺️

@Tropicana1 I would love to do it as I’m fascinated by anything like that (I track and check daily everything possible on my Fitbit and have to wear it all the time unless charging which I do when I’m in the shower 😂) but my partner would think I’m crazy. He might change his tune if in 6 months time still no pregnancy though

Hey Ladies

Decided not to test yesterday as it was my birthday so today is 10 DPO and I think I may have a got an absolute squinter this morning on FRER 🙊. Could be an evap but I will say I think I see pink in it (always so difficult to photograph and send on here isn’t it!) but the fact it’s so hard to photograph makes it question it tbh. Please let me know what you think!?

Hey all, checking in. AF got me today

@Hjudge56 i can actually see something really faint if I zoom in! I have only ever taken one pregnancy test though when I was 7 weeks pregnant with my daughter so was a blaring red line so don’t know much about evap but I would definitely be testing again tomorrow or a couple days time in your position!

@TeddyBeans oh no ☹️ How long are your cycles, could you still get a bfp in June? Fingers crossed for you next cycle.

To be honest ladies I feel like it’s SO faint and could be an indent. And I’ve been having period like cramps today.. AF due 4/5 days so im not holding out a huge amount of hope!

@Hjudge56 worth testing again in a couple days I would say. Do you normally get cramps that many days before due on?

@allgoodthings84 24 days at the moment. They used to be a bog standard, super regular 28 days until we started TTC and then it's been 5 cycles of everything but 🤦‍♀️

@allgoodthings84 yeah I’ve convinced myself there’s nothing there now haha! Will test again in the morning!

no I don’t usually get PMS this early! Nipples are still sore and random cramps here and there!

Ah no sorry I don't see anything. But my eyesight isn't the greatest and I only ever test after a missed period so have only seen glaring bright lines.

Sorry it wasn't your month Teddy.

@Hjudge56 definitely try testing again tomorrow or day after

@TeddyBeans that’s so typical isn’t it! Mine is usually 26/27 days (has been for last 3 years since I started tracking on my Fitbit just because it was a feature 😂) but I bet when we start trying beginning of next month my period will come late building my hopes up

Hi can I join 🤗

I am technically 10dpo…expecting my AF in 3/4 days but it will be my first period since my mmc in April. We have dtd but I wasn’t 100% on where ovulation was so don’t expect to have fallen.

so hoping for a BFP in June.

Have been ttc since last May. Took me 11 cycles to get my BFP I got in March. MC at 9 weeks. Baby only measured 6 with a heartbeat which then stopped.

so I am now where I was least year still not pregnant. But ready to go again and hopeful it will be much quicker 🤞🏼😍
