TTC May 2024 ✨❤️

[RW269]

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

@TTC1990 Congrats on the engagement 💐

Congratulations on your engagement 🩷🩷

@TTC1990 huge congratulations!!! 🥳

@Bb542, I'm glad you're well! I've been ok. I'm sitting in the beginning of the tww. Letrozole has had horrendous side effects this month, so I never even had the energy to do ovulation tests. 🙃

@Irish812, it could still be too early to test, so it doesn't mean you're out by any means! 🤞

@LindyMoe, it sounds like you're setting yourself up well this month! My fingers are crossed for you. I'm still trying to find the calm. 😂

@TTC1990, congratulations! They say that sometimes letting the stress completely go and not thinking about it can really help. Either way, ENJOY this fun time! 💍

Thank you so much everyone! The thing is, we want to have another baby before the wedding so as lovely as it is to be engaged and now like ahh need to get pregnant asap!

Just took a test thing morning 9DPO and looks negative to me. Anyone able to do the thing where they adjust the lighting to see if there’s a hidden line I can’t see?! My temp also dropped this morning. Just getting exhausted with it all now!

@TryTheNight thanks! I'm either 10 or 11 dpo today and still looks negative. I'm due AF wed or Thursday so I'll know either way then.
@TTC1990 I'm not sure how to contrast sorry. Keep testing it's still early. Not sure if it's lighting, but I might see the tiniest shadow.

@Irish812 you’re right, still so early. At times I thought I saw a shadow but think it’s my eyes playing tricks on me. I hate the waiting game!! Fingers crossed for you. I actually find it a lot easier to process when I just have answers x

@TTC1990 me too, I just hate the guessing and unknown in the TWW and symptom spotting like crazy. How many months are you ttc?

@Irish812 absolutely torture isn’t it!

This will be cycle 5 for us. If unsuccessful we will be moving on to cycle 6. I have a 19 month old son we conceived after 2 months. I naively thought it would be the same! I am 34 next month so a bit concerned about my age.

How about you? Is this your first?

@TTC1990 this is my 4th cycle actively trying to conceive first baby, so will onto 5th this week if AF arrives. With no prior pregnancies making me wonder if it will ever be possible. Take comfort in knowing you had a successful pregnancy before and fx it happens very soon, and your a month closer already! Xx

@TTC1990, oh the joys/stress of planning a wedding while trying to get pregnant. I'm in the same boat. If I get pregnant May or June, I'll have the baby before the wedding. If I get pregnant in July or August, I'll probably give birth during the wedding. Anything after that, I'll be pregnant at the wedding. 😂

People think I should skip trying for a few months, but since I've been trying for 4 years (and I'm already 34 in a couple weeks) and am finally making progress on letrozole, I'm just going with it.

@Irish812 thank you, you are right! I think I just worry due to my age. How are you getting on? Has AF appeared? I’m 11dpo and getting negatives.

@TryTheNight ahh I admire you! I completely understand why you would just want to crack on. I think we’re going for a 2027 destination wedding, so we are buying ourselves some time. Where are you getting married?

My partner is going to have a sperm analysis at the end of the month. If that’s all fine, I’m going to book a fertility MOT. It may seem a bit early to be getting this done, but in my head it’s making steps towards something!

@TTC1990 having cramps since last night so AF definitely will appear today (12 day luteal phase clockwork). Negative tests up until yesterday. So will be onto cycle 5. I got 21 day bloods done and progesterone came back normal. Are you doing the MOT testing privately? I'm sure my gp won't look at me until 1 year.

@Irish812 ah at least when it’s here you can move on! Mine is due Friday or Saturday but I’m also getting cramps so think it could be any day. Hope you’re feeling OK.

We’ve managed to get it through our GP! Not sure about my testing yet but my partners sperm analysis is covered. She is so lovely and I told her it will be around 6 months (by the time the appointment comes round) that we have been ‘trying’ but also it will be a year that we have been off contraception and not a actively preventing. She was very relaxed about it and said she would put a referral in to the clinic for us. I think we were just lucky!

@TTC1990 yes exactly, thank you.

That's good to know. I'll be 1 year off the pill in Sept. Only started actively trying 4 months ago, but still could have happened before that. Keep us updated how you get on, and hopefully AF doesn't appear this weekend!

@Irish812 thank you so much. Keep us updated too! X

@TTC1990 we're also in the same boat with the wedding. We want to try have a baby before we get married but we really only have another few months before we'll have to stop trying 😢

I think I'm 9dpo and a BFN. I got a positive at 8dpo last time I was pregnant (ended in a miscarriage) so I think I'm out.

It really puts the pressure on doesn’t it @Bb542. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻. I’m still testing negative but no AF yet. Hate this waiting game. Probably see you guys in a June thread!

Yep I'm negative this morning so just going to wait for AF and I'll see some of you in the June thread.

Off to work in the worst mood ever now 🙃💔

Oh @Bb542 i completely get how you feel. I was in an awful mood yesterday, to the point I actually cancelled some meetings at work as I couldn’t face it. Just take some comfort in the fact the next day does feel a bit better and the hope does come back! Allow yourself to feel all the feelings and know it is completely ok to feel how you are x

AF arrived this morning. Onto cycle #5 now.

@Irish812 same here 😔 cycle 6/7 now

@RRAEE sending love ❤️ was really hopeful, 2nd month using conceive+ lube and first month using the ferti lily conception cup. Not sure what else we can try.

@Irish812 ❤️

Sorry to hear but try and remember one cycle closer!

Are you taking any supplements @Irish812 ? X
