June 2023 TTC Thread

[BB2023]

Welcome to June ladies. Adding this thread here to share our June journeys.
Wishing you lots of luck for the month ahead. 🤞🤞🤞

@Kat7542 yes looks normal, I agree with @Hankthehonk

Some people have a short/quick LH peak but retest this afternoon, especially if you can hold it in for a few hours! My LH peak comes and goes so quickly I've never caught it but I know I ovulate

Hi everyone, hope it's ok to join.

Currently in the TWW at about 4dpo. It's so slow going.

@SimplyChic hello , I'm 5DPO very close and this feels like the slowest time ever.

@Favofit have you felt any symptoms yet? I know it's still early though 😂 I had horrendous backaches yesterday which I don't usually get.

Hi ladies,

I've been lurking for a while but now officially ready to jump on the bandwagon if you'll have me?

I'm TTC #2 and already have a daughter who is just over 2.

I've been off my pill for a couple of months just to try and get an idea what's happening with my cycle but being careful to avoid fertile days as I just got married last week and didn't want to be pregnant for the wedding 😂

I'm on CD 10 according to Flo and that's predicting ovulation on the 24th.

I'm going to take a relaxed approach this month and not do any ovulation tests or anything and just see what happens. If nothing then I'll start with the ovulation tests next month.

Anyone remotely near me cycle wise?

Thanks and good luck to you all ❤️

@SimplyChic not sure yet although I had some cramping today but thought it could be anxiety 😟

@Favofit @SimplyChic I'm 4DPO today so here with you both x

@MLN89 Welcome! Congratulations on your wedding. Lovely to have you here xx

5dpo today and been super bloated today and yesterday. Cursing my past self for not being more attentive to my body in previous cycles and what it does 😂

Possibly more than usual CM today, sorry for tmi 😂

DH just said I had a mental breakdown over nothing (I felt stressed about finding some of his important documents and cried about it) he now asked me to do a test but I'm only 4dpo 😂😂

@SimplyChic maybe there's something going round, I got really cross making the spare bed on Friday evening 😂

@Kat7542 mine looked the same as yours it was only for one day!

@MLN89 welcome and congratulations on your wedding 🥳

@Hankthehonk @Silverpixieflorence @PineappleK thank you so much ladies!! Quick to wrongly diagnose myself with infertility there 😂

@Ns1241 I'm 10dpo today, hoping the line will get darker in the next couple of days. When we were trying with DD I had faint lines one cycle that then went negative and then AF came so hoping we don't have the same this time. Congratulations on your BFP 😍

@Pandabumbles ooh yes let us know tomorrow! Will cross my fingers for you! 🤞I've had hardly any symptoms so you never know. The only thing I had yesterday was the tiniest bit of really light cramping like could hardly notice it really for a couple of hours and I'm a total bloater this last week 😂

@Kat7542 I've done the same all month 😂 literally been googling constantly thinking there was something wrong with me

Ladies
sorry I’m about to sound really stupid here
can anyone help with how far along I am?

last period was 23/05/2023
my cycle is 29/30 days x

Is it 3 weeks?

@Ns1241 3 weeks tomorrow I think!!

@Ns1241 sorry I'm an idiot, ignore me. Got excited for you and misread that as last period 29 May. You're 3 and a half weeks, will be 4 on 20th June!

Thank you!
ive got 3 other children haha I should know this.

but my pregnancies are high risk so I book with a midwife at 6 weeks x

So glad I've found this thread, could do with some solidarity! I'm currently 1 DPO, so it's going to be a long wait...

I'm slightly concerned that I didn't have any EWCM this month (just the watery/slippery mucus) and my LH tests were high but I didn't get a true peak (I'm hopeful that it's because I missed the peak when testing). BBT plus other symptoms suggest ovulation occurred, so... 🤔

@Poppins2016 hey! I had no EWCM this cycle either so I used pre seed, hoping it's helped 😬

I've been pretty much quiet on this thread as I've been away for a while with no reception but I'm back home now and currently 4 or 5 dpo. I'm CD18 got my opk peak morning of CD13 and it was low again by the afternoon so Femometer says I ovulated that day but fertility friend says I ovulated CD14. Been having lots of sharp twinges and cramps today and extra tired 😅

@naggy095 I used pre-seed when I conceived my previous pregnancy (this will be my third and final DC). It worked for me!

For various reasons (mostly medication induced erectile issues) we've ended up attempting sex once this month but abandoning it... instead I've ended up using a syringe and inseminating that way. Feels a bit odd/lacking in intimacy but we're keen to get on with it and minimise age gap (it'll be 2.5 years + depending on when I conceive).

I've previously used Femometer and Fertility Friend. Of the two, I trust Fertility Friend more. Femometer seems to be all over the place, whereas Fertility Friend successfully indicates ovulation. When I conceived my second child, Femometer seemed to think I hadn't ovulated whereas Fertility Friend did (and was clearly correct)! I no longer use the Femometer app, but I do use their LH tests.

Do you track BBT as well as LH?

Hi 👋 hope it’s ok to join, I’m 2 DPO and this is our first month trying again after a MMC in March, I’m 32 and we’re trying for our first..fingers crossed for us all

Hi @Laura7899. We are also trying for our first after a MMC in March....3 DPO for me. Wishing you lots of luck
