TTC May baby ☀️🌦💐🌳♉️♊️

[BiscuitLover3678]

I don’t know what I’m doing with the emojis this month. Got the star signs in there though!

Cycle 10 for me 😤

Best of luck to everyone!

@Shefliesonherownwings I find the clear blue ones to be pretty accurate, best of luck! 🥰

Posting here as reckon I'm definitely out for April baby.

Going into cycle 9 ttc baby #1 if anyone has any words of wisdom or suggestions of things to try into next cycle I'm all ears! Currently using OPK and going to start BBT. Looking for suggestions to increase EWCM too as never have anything noticeable x

I’m CD1 today my spotting turned into AF late this morning. It’s good though as only 2 days spotting before rather than 4-5 days as the previous 2 cycles. I started taking vit b complex (with vit d and folic acid) and vit c too at the beginning of the last cycle so fingers crossed it’s done something and not just a coincidence.

be interesting to see when I ovulate this cycle as was delayed by a week cycle just gone because of covid

Hi 👋🏼 I’m TTC #1 and I think I’m due to ovulate next week or the week after. Can’t be too sure as only just had mirena coil removed earlier this week!

DH and I are off on honeymoon next week - wouldn’t it be lovely to bring a little may baby home with us 🥰 I also have a May birthday and it’s a lovely time of year to have a birthday even though I’m totally biased 😂

Good luck everyone 💕

Hiya everyone! I'm TTC #1, cycle 1 💖🤞🏼 I'm CD8 today so just seeing how this first attempt goes. Getting married veryyyyyy soon so enjoying that build up and trying not to stress too much and enjoy trying for a new addition ☺️ xx

Hi ladies,
I’m moving myself over from the April thread, AF due today, lots of PMS symptoms but still not here, however another frer that’s more or less negative minus the tiniest line which looks like an indent again.
so I’m out, and hopefully ttc again this month.
I did SMEP to no avail 😭 x

@NSx sorry you got a BFN, how many months have you been TTC?
I’m 12Dpo, temperature has dropped and got a BFN this morning. Just want AF to arrive now so I can move onto next month x

@Lion14 my story is a bit complicated, I lost my Angel girl at 17 weeks on 28th may. So June was my body getting back to normal & July I would say was my first proper cycle. With my girl, I literally fell on the second cycle after trying Jan and then Feb, but I’m nervous it won’t happen again 🥲 so I’m a bit stressed. I know it’s still early days but it’s very hard after a loss.
my temp also dropped today so expecting AF hopefully tonight or maybe tomorrow, I like you just want to reset & try again - sorry for your BFN it’s very disheartening x

@NSx I am so sorry, that’s heartbreaking. I am sure it will happen for you though, it is still early days in terms of your body getting back to normal, don’t be hard on yourself x
I know, the thing is I knew it would be negative. I flip flop between telling myself I know I’m not pregnant and then tiny bits of hope creep in and I’m praying that maybe by some miracle I am. I think I need to ease off on all the bbt tracking and opks and just try and relax this month and see what happens x

@NSx I'm very sorry for your loss, it is really hard trying again when youve had a loss. We lost DD very late on, almost three years ago now. We were lucky that we conceived DS three months later. You are likely to be more fertile having given birth so try not to worry too much, although I know it’s hard. Hugs x

@Lion14 @Shefliesonherownwings
thanks for your kind words 💕 they truly mean a lot. It is very hard to not put pressure on yourself after a loss. I’ve heard you are more fertile after things like that, so I guess I just want it to happen quickly and I’m worried it won’t. I just turned 35 2 weeks ago too, so my age also is stressing me out a bit.
we conceived our DD very easily in Feb, but I’m just terrified it doesn’t happen again 🤞 we followed SMEP this month which was a lot, to no avail. With DD we literally DTD 3 times … I know I need to relax but it’s just hard.
@Shefliesonherownwings im so sorry you’ve also experienced a loss, it’s the most awful thing in the world, I do think it makes u want to conceive even more though !
@Lion14 you can end up driving yourself crazy doing all the BBT and following OPK 😭 x

Hopping over from the April thread. AF on her way and a BFN at 12dpo just now.

I'm REALLY hoping month 8 is the one for us. Desperation is sinking in a little but trying to stay positive.

Let's do this!

Oh and this month I'm going to try Starflower oil up until ovulation to try and get some EWCM. I'm also going to drink grapefruit juice (yuck!).

I may actually ditch the Preseed as I read a recent article stating it may slow the sperm down.

I'm going to SMEP as always, and take it easy on caffeine and alcohol.

I'll try and BBT too, but didn't do a great job last month!

What’s this article? Using preseed one of the few things we’ve changed since DS and I wonder if it’s not helping. But then the lube we used with ds was supposedly bad so I don’t know :(

I hope you are ok and I am thinking of you. I remember you mentioning your little girl in your last thread ❤️

@ExPatHereForAChat I'm going to get some starflower oil too!! Do you take it from first day of AF up until ovulation? X

@NNiceToChat88 Yes, I think so! I'm also going to try and really up my water intake. I definitely never do the full 2 litres.

I know I'll just be peeing all day long though

@ExPatHereForAChat the internet said 2-3 litres of water a day should increase it too so im going to try that too. I go through stages, if I'm working from home that day I tend to drink a lot as I'm not bothered by the endless trips to the toilet but if I'm in the office I tend to drink less as Im worried my colleagues will think im skiving 🤣🤣

@BiscuitLover3678 thanks so much 💕💕💕

I'm here from the April group. Was cycle 1 ttc #1 so wasn't really expecting anything to happen but in 2ww and doing so much symptom spotting! Being realistic though. We had fun practicing SMEP july so think I have the hang of it for
August
I'm also going to look into starflower

Hello all, jumping on over from the April thread with a large tote bag full of vitamins and supplements, opks, and a few FRER's.

CD 1, again 😏 and if DH and I are lucky to conceive this cycle my EDD will be May 7th!! 😊 ✨

@NSx so sorry to hear what you have been through 💔 I hope and pray this cycle brings you lots of luck and a BFP!!✨

@Aurora81 thank you so much, I hope we all get what we want out of August 🤞🤍 … (Im still waiting on AF to make an appearance which is annoying 😭)

@Aurora81 CD1 here too, am going to give starflower oil a go this time round and see does it help! 🤞🏻Wishing you loads of luck this month too 🤞🏻🥰

@Lion14 many thanks for your kind words and I wish you the absolute same ✨☺️✨It's interesting alright about the starflower oil and it's definitely worth trying. My AF is a bit on the slow side today, so I literally hope I get a proper flow tomorrow. I started back on evening primrose oil today, so at least that 🙂

@NSx Yes 💯, I hope August is the month to bring our dreams to life ✨😊 ✨
