TTC April 2024…Christmas Babies! ❤️✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in April 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of March to April ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

@Dogscanlookup Happy Birthday!! Hope you’ve had a good day!
Hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend!
happy start of ovulation testing anyone else who’s starting this weekend 😂 never thought I’d be 31 and so excited to pee on so many things throughout the month 😂😂😂

Happy birthday 🥳 @Dogscanlookup hope youve had a good one

@RW269 snap 😂

Will do, it’s just a nightmare as I think I’ve either ovulated early OR it’s going to be later than expected. Actually looking forward to getting some tests as I never thought it would be this hard the second time around!

Happy birthday for yesterday @Dogscanlookup 🎉.

I’m actually on CD9 today @RW269 i miscounted 😂, is anyone else entering fertile week along with us? I usually ovulate CD15 which is Saturday so going to be a busy week/weekend for us. This will be our third cycle so praying this one works 😫.

@Suburbandreams aw tell me about it, I'm so fed up of this second time around and I can't understand why it's it's so hard now when it wasn't before 😫 we're going for a monitored cycle with trigger shot this cycle so really praying to all the gods out there it works! 😂

@Suburbandreams and @Daniki if it helps I'm in the same boat - DC 1 was so easy, this time around it's been such a pain... also can't wrap my head around when I'm ovulating based on the NC app, which is so frustrating

@ButItHasCheese iv never tried temping I don’t think I’d like it 😂 but u did order the femsense tracker for this month and it’s a patch you wear for 7 days and it tracks your temp so be interesting to see! Even with my two miscarriages in 2022 I got pregnant straight away with both and apart from a chemical in May last year, nothing! 😫

@YaWeeFurryBastard haha 😂 ah only 1 day difference! You know this is the first time using the pre mom ones and I’m thinking maybe I actually ovulate later than I thought cause I’m on a 0 still thought it might have started building up but maybe it’s more of a steep build up who knows ! 😂

Hi everyone!

I'm definitely ovulating this weekend. I have terrible bloating and already look 3 months pregnant! 😅

RE drinking during TTC. I have always carried on as normal in the past but I also didn't have any issues with conceiving which would have made it different if I had. I have been trying to cut back lately but also have had a few nights where I've gone out with friends and probably drank too much and then felt guilty about it. I'm planning on having a completely sober 2WW - for my own sanity and if I find out I'm pregnant at the end of it I won't have the guilt and if I come on my period I can have that big glass of wine instead 😅

Honestly I feel the pain! I too have had trouble calculating ovulation, I used clear blue and managed to get the smiley but this month I’ve used Premom and my LH levels have been consistently low. So it’s either I ovulate later than I thought or much much earlier. As @Daniki said I’m going to stick to using the tests and watch what happens. It’s definitely more of a science than I realised!

Spent years being scared of getting pregnant thanks to sex education and now look 🙈

I had a cp back in December and decided that I wouldn’t drink alcohol or coffee while TTC. Was great at first but now I do get tempted, particularly as we haven’t had any luck yet. My OH took my to Venice for my birthday and I didn’t even try any proper Italian tiramisu or limoncello because I’ve convinced myself if I have a drop it will jinx it. I feel like I’ve gone without and I’m contemplating having a cheeky glass if AF comes round again just to make it less depressing.

Happy Sunday everyone. Has anyone used Conceive Plus or Preseed lube? Gonna invest for this month because we really need it if we’re DTD that much 😂🍆. I’m not sure which brand is better though, any thoughts?

Also the branding for both is so weird, can’t they make it a little, er, trendier/more discreet? I don’t wanna be in the moment with my other half, reaching for the bottle and seeing a random mum and her baby 🙈

@LK2610

First time around we used conceive plus it was okay but would go quite sticky quickly we used it for a few months! Not sure on the other one though

I have a question about pre-seed. Sorry it's going to be TMI but I feel like no one here really cares 😂 are you able to just use it like normal lube? I feel like it may kill the moment getting a syringe out and squirting it up there? Unlikely we can do it well in advance (I see it says 15 mins prior) because we have to take the opportunity where we can with a little one! TIA

Also still no AF 😩 5 days late now

Hellooo I was in the last feb thread, had a particularly long cycle last time (60 days !) so this is only cycle 2 despite starting from January. On CD22 and have seen a spike in LH over the last couple of days in tests and lots of ewcm... maybe we'll be lucky on st paddy's day

I just ordered it so I’ll let you know how I find it @SummerSun24 I was planning on doing it in the bathroom before getting into bed for the evening 🤷‍♀️

Hello
Can anyone tell me if this is normal? 2nd cycle tracking. 2nd cycle after miscarriage and 22 months ttc

@LK2610 thank you! That is a good idea!

Ttc baby number 4! Currently on CD 11 anyone similar time of your cycle? ovulation test yet to of shown positive and look pretty light still! Hopefully this is our month xx

We started using Pre-seed last cycle, it's a little slippery/wet so have to be careful about not using too much but otherwise no complaints. Only used it as a regular lube so far though, will be interested in how you find it with the syringe @LK2610

I find it really annoying that they put babies on everything and anything to do with conception - very indiscreet and got to be especially hard to see a baby on everything if struggling with infertility.

Happy Monday everyone! CD10 for me so a busy week coming up 🤪.

How does everyone cope with all the social media/pregnancy announcements? I’m at that age where everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant and there have been a lot of cryptic posts from people lately of things like alcohol free beer or toasting with orange juice so I just know there’s more to come soon. Of course I’m happy for them but I can’t help feeling jealous and it sucks.

Hi all, still in for March so far but AF due 30th/1st so thought I'd join this thread too. 2DPO and feeling positive... really hoping this is it! ❤

Morning all, first day of testing to hopefully find out if anything is going on. Got a swab app now and then day 21 bloods on Friday for progesterone. I’ve also been referred for an ultrasound so things are moving gradually.

Most nervous to have my weight checked as I’ve definitely put on a few pounds 🙈

@Suburbandreams hoping you get some good news or at least some answers and I'm sorry that things haven't happened quicker for you.

But yea I think we can do everything right and it doesn't work and we can do everything wrong and it does work. Ultimately I think a lot of it is out of our control. I actually also had two CP's consecutively before conceiving my daughter on the third cycle. I'd just come off the copper coil and I can't prove it but I do suspect it had something to do with it.

Anyway I hope you get some promising results soon
