Ttc may 2024

[TicklishDreamer]

I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

Ok I clearly have no impulse control and decided to do a digital test this evening...

@CatLady1994 massive congratulations!! Hope the next 9months go very smoothly for you! What symptoms did you have? 🙈

@CatLady1994 congratulations!! 💕

@TicklishDreamer start as you mean to go on! AF due next Weds for me - this is going to be a looong week

@CatLady1994 yay huge congrats!! Lovely news

Thanks all! Now just need to keep fingers and toes crossed it sticks!

@TicklishDreamer Symptoms so far are bloating and tender boobs! Had a bit of mild cramping yesterday as well.

Awww huge congrats @CatLady1994 🩷 so happy for you!

I'm going to test again in the morning at 9dpo but expecting it to be negative 🙈 I don't know how people hold off testing... I need to test every day so I know and don't like off hope 🤣

@T0r11210 It looks like you have different temperatures logged in on cd13. Not sure how to explain but on ff its 36.4 and on cd16 your temp dipped below that and technically post ovulation temps shouldn’t be lower than pre ovulation temps that’s why it moved the date.

9dpo and BFN. Think I'm out this month.

@Bb542 sorry it’s negative again! But you could implant late so you never know! I never test positive till after AF due (one of the reasons I don’t test early)

Not sure what’s going on, my LH is consistently higher than usual and so is my bbt. Opks are always below 0.15 when not ovulating and bbt is at 36.3. Cervix is closed and lots of watery cm.

Hi all, I got a smart watch recently and though we're not technically tracking this month, I thought I'd try temping to get my head around it and see if I actually ovulate this month. My cycle was really thrown off by the D&C.

Is it me, or does my temperature generally look really low? I've seen other people's charts be mostly in the 36 degree range. I don't have any thyroid issues or anything. I don't think I've ovulated yet, I've had no signs. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next 2-4 days.

Ah thank you, I’d copied it over from FF and hadn’t recorded that one correctly. Now all sorted but still showing CD 16 on FF (dotted crosshair) and CD 14 on Femometer. Which day would you say I ovulated on? If at all?

@T0r11210 I would say you ovulated cd14 judging from the big dip.

How is everyone feeling today!

Hi Guys, I would love to join you all while I am in my TWW. So lovely to see a BFP already in this forum, congratulations!

I am 33, trying for my first baby. We have been TTC for about a year now, we have had a few tests at the doctors and all looking fine so I guess its a matter of time, they are going to look at a few other tests they can do just to be sure all is OK.

I wanted to ask.. Do you think focusing on DTD everyday in the fertile week is enough or should we be DTD through out the whole month?

I travelled to the US recently and bought Mucinex so giving that a go this month, I see lots about it on TikTok! x

@TicklishDreamer less and less optimistic but trotting on! How about you?

welcome and good luck @Marshmallow99

@Marshmallow99 welcome!!
I DTD every other day from when my period ends till I’m sure fertile window is over! I don’t use OPKs though I just rely on egg white Cm & my body signals! I find any amount of testing or trying to DTD everyday far too stressful!

I'm 10dpo and testing negative so I'm pretty sure I'm out. Going to stop testing now and wait for AF. Feeling sad 😣 how's everyone?

@Bb542 also 10DPO starting to get the itch to test though but I’m going to hold out till at least the weekend
have no real symptoms to be honest so think I’m out too!

@soymilknosugar thank you 😊

@TicklishDreamer I’ve been using the clear blue ovulation test and waiting for that smiley face does stress me out 😂

10DPO you are so close, fingers crossed for you. The past few months I’ve tested early and spent so much on tests, I’m determined to wait until after AF is due this month.. I need to work on my will power! I am only 5DPO so I feel like I have a longgg wait ahead of me.

@Marshmallow99 i am so close I’m determined not to test until
Monday when I’m due on even then I might wait till Tuesday if I can!
those early days of the TWW are the worst I just feel like your wishing your life away 🤣

Hi folks! So glad I've found this thread. I'm currently on my 2nd cycle of clomid, currently 6dpo so every twinge I feel my mind goes into overdrive and I think is implementation cramps!! Likely not as I had the exact same last month and didn't conceive.
I know it's a bit early but will start testing at 8dpo. Does anyone else struggle with sleep when it's test day? I wake up sooo early with excitement/nerves.
Sending luck to all this month and congratulations to those who have been lucky ☘️🤍

@CSmith1 that happens to me too 😂 I have dreams of testing then I’ll wake up in the middle of the night to do one. I also over analyse every twinge I get, I tell myself every month not to get excited but I can’t help but hold on to the hope 🤞. Fingers crossed we all get our BFPs very soon 🤍

@TicklishDreamer You’ve got this 💪 xx

Hi hope it’s okay to join, it’s just been my first TTC month and period hit today feeling pretty low. I know it’s unlikely first try but you’re always optimistic. Still a bit hit and miss on the acronyms if someone could do a break down for me 🫣 also I am 28f and this will be first hopeful pregnancy!

@Currentlykittymom Welcome!! Are you tracking ovulation or just guessing? My first mistake was not tracking and we completely missed ovulation.
You’ll catch on to acronyms quickly.
DTD-do the deed
OPK-ovulation prediction kit
BBT-basal body temperature
EWCM-egg white cervical mucus
FMU-first morning urine
AF-aunt flow (period)
BFP/BFN - big fat positive/negative
DH- dear husband
CD- cycle day
LH- luteinizing hormone
DPO- days past ovulation
TWW- two week wait
CM- cervical mucus
POAS- pee on a stick
MC- miscarriage
MMC- missed miscarriage
Can’t remember more but I’m sure I missed some.
