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!

@Ki-King I'm CD6 and will start with cheap OPK and CB digital tomorrow as inoculate between CD11-15

Officially hopping over from the April thread. AF arrived this morning. CD1 here we go 😔

Hello ladies! I'm moving over from the April thread as AF arrived today, so CD1 for me
We're onto our third cycle TTC, the first where I'll be properly SMEPing
I'm 38 and childless so to say I am feeling anxious is an understatement
Baby dust everyone xxx

@NatGee its CD1 of cycle 3 for me too. How long are your cycles normally? Wonder if we will be testing buddies towards the end too? Baby dust to you ✨ fingers crossed we are third time lucky x

@CDD1992 Baby dust to you too! hopefully three times will be a charm for us xx
I don't really know, I began tracking my cycles only recently: have had a 35 day (it did feel long and wonder if I had a chemical), whereas this last was 29. How about yours? xx

@NatGee im always 28 days. Hopefully your cycles will stay nice and regular now 🤞🏻 x

@NatGee @CDD1992 girls have u ever tried the fertilily?

@CDD1992 sorry to see you here! ☹️ Was was your bbt this morning? Mine was 36.37 CD 1.

@NatGee I am 40 and ttc no2. Our DS is a teenager, so there will be a big age gap. I had my AMH tested, which helped reduce the stress about my age. Also, I take Coq10 to nourish my eggs.

@RugbyGirl1 I hope you had a fantastic day! 😊 I literally felt so tired all day yesterday, that all I did was potter around and rest. Woke up feeling much better today, so I am going to head out for a walk and enjoy the ☀.

@NSx sorry what do you mean? X

@CDD1992 hope so! A 28 day one like yours would be perfect :)
@NSx I NEARLY signed up to it but I figured I can eat a balanced diet on my own? We cook from scratch, try to stay away from sugars, and are fairly fit. Thought the money would be better employed in buying the best ingredients we can afford. Are you using it? Do you recommend?
@Aurora81 i have heard of amh but havent wanted to fork out the money for it. I presume they all came back normal? How was your egg count? I did a home fsh test that showed i have elevated levels which can signify low egg reserves. I must look into coq10 never heard of it before thank you!

Hi @Aurora81 mine from the last few days were:
Thurs: 36.72
Fri: 36.67
Sat: 36.38
Today: 36.29

Sat was the first one below the coverline so knew this cycle was unsuccessful. AF has hit hard though, normally only light day 1 but I'm very heavy to the point I'm needing to change every couple of hours which is very unlike me. Hope it passes quickly 😕 x

@CDD1992 @NatGee
sorry I should have explained better, I haven’t used it yet it was just when you said you had come over from the other thread I thought u may be like me and willing to try anything 😂 as I too was unsuccessful last month …
fertilily can be found in boots and online, it’s a device u use after sex to keep the sperm in, push them towards the cervix - I haven’t used it myself and was wondering if either of u have. I just bought one at the wkend but it had lots of good reviews/had read a thread on here that was positive about it, so I just curious as to Wether either of you had any experience.
hoping for a BFP for us all this month 🤞✨✨

@NSx OHHHHHHHH fertilily well there's an app called fertilily which basically gives you meal plans to support a healthy conception/pregnancy. I thought thats what you meant!! well, serves me right for making assumptions, my apologies
Hadnt even heard of such a contraption omg YES I want to try it!!!! Sounds medieval but heck, yes ill do anything, ill try it ! BFPs all the way

@NSx ahh I know what you mean now but no, I haven't used them. Fingers crossed it helps get you your BFP this month. X

@CDD1992 your trend is similar to mine - a decrease yesterday and a further step downwards today and bam, AF is now firmly visiting, uninvited of course... Sigh. Please, can i ask what a coverline is? Ive only just begun BBTing the last three days now thank you xx

@NatGee here is my chart from the cycle just gone. Fertility friend app adds a coverline for you, which shows where where your temps have been consistently above since ovulation. Mine stayed up until AF started to come which is pretty normal, although some people do dip earlier than me, or stay high for a couple of days into AF. X

Welcome everyone from the April thread, sorry to see you guys. It’s shit isn’t it. But fresh cycle fresh start is what I tell myself… 11 cycles in 🥴

cd7 today, started CB digital as I Ov between cd 11-15.

I’ve thought about AMH levels but not looked at cost. I’ve had FSH and LH done and that’s all normal.

im really sorting losing weight out as of tomorrow. I’m done with being this overweight

@NatGee @CDD1992 haha yes I’ve never tried it myself but I don’t imagine it can hurt. Mine has been ordered online so hopefully it comes on time or I’ll just have to go and purchase one again in person - fingers crossed for that BFP 😭✨🤞

@NatGee mine came back as 19.5, but that is only indicative of my ovarian reserve and not of the quality of the eggs. I am taking Terra Nova' s ubiquinone Coq10, as the Ubiquinol version has bovine gelatine in it and the Terra Nova one is vegan. I only eat turkey and fish now, after being a vegetarian for years.

@CDD1992 now that you have one chart cycle completed, you can go back and compare this cycle to last month's one. I hope AF isn't too bad and you can use the time to rest and recharge.

@NSx I never tried it, but saying that I don't even like to use tampons. If you feel drawn to using it why not ✨

Cd8, opks negative and CB digital opk low. Started SMEP today, and my DH was asking questions about it this morning, so it's nice that he's fully on board with the SMEP plan... Well so far so good 😅

@Aurora81 at the end of the day - doing the vitamins, scaling back alcohol and caffeine, eating fertile friendly foods , SMEP and then fertilily - if still BFN then I can’t blame myself 😭😅😅

Hi everyone thought I would join this thread, currently on month 12 of ttc baby no 2. Just had bloods back everything is fine apart from progesterone levels slightly boarder line need to have a repeat of that one. Feel like I just need to reduce my stress and stop over thinking but easier said than done! I have had acupuncture once a month and just been to see a lady for homeopath trying anything I can to reduce stress! Baby dust to everyone for this month! 🙏🏼✨✨✨⭐️

AF arrived last night a little early, tried to convince myself it was implantation bleeding 😂 the things you try and tell yourself! so its CD2 for me today and hoping for more luck this cycle! I would love a May baby!! 🙏🙏 gd luck ladies.

@CDD1992 thank you so much, makes sense. You had the perfect trajectory this last cycle, with the rises at the right times. lets hope you get it again this time round 👌

@Mummyme87 happy BDing! wish I were at the CD8 mark already what did you use to test for FSH if you dont mind my asking?

@Aurora81 thank you ! I should look into that :)

@CRLan hello, thanks for joining ! Baby dust to you too - Is SMEP new to you guys?

@Londonlady22 oh yes! my spotting started last night and I kept telling myself that it may not be AF but my BBT dropped further this morning so there was no doubt what was up. Ah well! Baby dust to you !!! xxx

@CRLan I am sorry, my question would have made more sense if I hadn't thought this was a different thread! Progesterone can be a problem for some couples but if that is the case then there is a solution, right? pardon my ignorance but is this when sometimes ladies go for injections to supplement low progesterone levels?
