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!

@emmatcc1 im the same, it’s all I can really think about to be honest.

How many cycles have you been trying now since you lost your baby?

TicklishDreamer · 20/05/2024 17:49

@emmatcc1 im so sorry to hear about your baby boy! No one else’s opinion matters on it’

@InevitableWithdrawal i think there’s quiet a few of us that are going into another month! So you won’t be alone I’m only on cycle day 1 and after a bit of a moment this morning I’m back to feeling positive! It was only cycle 3 post miscarriage so not that many months really! Hopefully this month is my month!

@jt130593 I’m on cycle 4 now. We used conceive plus this cycle, maybe it does the trick.
A friend also had a MC at the same time as me and is now pregnant on the first try.

jt130593 · 20/05/2024 18:32

@emmatcc1 got everything crossed for you this cycle 🤞

emmatcc1 · 20/05/2024 18:38

@jt130593 Fingers crossed we both get positive news this month.

Bb542 · 20/05/2024 22:12

@CSmith1 did you test again? 😍

@jt130593 so sorry to hear about your baby boy 😔 that must've been so hard ❤️

@TicklishDreamer so sorry AF arrived. Let's hope we all get BFPs this cycle ❤️

I'm CD4 today. Had today booked off work so went to the seaside in the sun with my fiancé and our dog and had such a lovely day 🥰 feeling hopeful and optimistic for a new cycle 🤞🏼🥰

lavafield · 21/05/2024 07:42

Sorry to hear about your losses @emmatcc1 @jt130593 💔 keeping fingers crossed for your positive news soon. AF arrived here this morning, also trying to focus on the next month now as July would have to be missed with my travel.. Does anyone have feedback on which vitamins are best to use? I only use vitamin D and Folic acid, and I eat plenty of veg, seafood/fish, and seeds/nuts/healthy oils. Have been reluctant to go full on on high dose supplements but I am hearing they have helped quite a few ladies get pregnant ?

jellyfish2 · 21/05/2024 08:15

@ThelastRolo20 how are you keeping?

Did you have any symptoms before you got your BFP? I'm 7dpo and don't really have anything major, feel a bit nauseous at times this morning and tired but what's new! So I'm not feeling hopeful.

jt130593 · 21/05/2024 08:20

@lavafield i used the proceive supplements this month as they get really good reviews.

But actually wouldn’t recommend.
I got my peak ovulation reading on cycle day 12 which is the earliest it’s ever been for me, with EWCM.
And now day 15 I’ve got another peak but no other physical signs of ovulation so I’ve got no idea what’s happening with my body. All I can put it down to is those supplements as last month my cycle had returned to normal after losing our last baby.

Really kicking myself and absolutely gutted that I took them and they’ve messed my cycles up

lavafield · 21/05/2024 08:32

@jt130593 oh wow. Don't beat yourself up, you meant well. Do you think you are going to stop them?
I might just stick with vit d and folic acid for a few months and see what happens. Keeping feet always warm is important too, according to some traditional theories, lol guess everything goes while ttc!

Hey! Thanks for checking in 😊 I'm doing okay thank you, I had mild cramps for nearly all the TWW but other than that not really? Vivid dreams towards the end but that can be normal pre AF anyway.

7DPO really won't have many (if any!) symptoms - I'm always convinced I'm out.

We've decided this is our last roll of the dice, if this one doesn't stick we're one and done. I feel at peace having made that decision which is quite nice - what will be will be now x

I really hope this is it for you!! Do you have your early scan booked yet? Yeah last couple of nights I've had vivid dreams but I've realised I get that in the tww too.

jt130593 · 21/05/2024 08:56

@lavafield yeah I’ve stopped taking them today. And just gone back to her 9 female multi vits.
Taking this month as a right off and hope that it hasn’t totally messed my cycles up for next month!

Good luck everyone!

ThelastRolo20 · 21/05/2024 08:58

@jellyfish2 I do but not until 13th June when I'll be almost 9 weeks! I wanted my husband there but he's really busy the two weeks before with work, and my birthday is on 10th and wanted to enjoy that so figured afterwards was best. It's so far away though...

When are you planning on testing?

jellyfish2 · 21/05/2024 09:08

@ThelastRolo20 later is probably better anyway. When were your losses before?
I'm thinking probably Saturday where I should be 11dpo. When did you get your positive?

JumpinJellyfish · 21/05/2024 09:46

No AF and bfn this morning…no idea how many dpo I am but I’m cd 31 so would have got a bfp by now if actually pregnant. No idea what is going on with my cycle as they are usually 29 days ☹️

CSmith1 · 21/05/2024 10:14

@Bb542 I did this morning.. BFN and AF has arrived 4 days early. Absolute rollercoaster of a couple of days, had a little hope it may have been implementation bleeding but as the morning is going on I think it's getting heavier. Absolutely gutted but that's why I shouldn't test too early! Lesson learned and on to next month and I'm making sure I don't have any tests in the house until at least 12/13dpo.

How are you this month?

Sending baby dust to all ☀️

T0r11210 · 21/05/2024 11:39

Hey everyone, I’m out this month too as AF showed yesterday. I got really excited as well because boobs were hurting a few days before which they don’t usually and still are. AF is also very early! Usually I’m 29-31 days but it’s 26 days this month and have a lot more cramping than usual.
so of course I’ve been googling “can IB be heavy “ 😂
Ive ordered a Mira as temping doesn’t seem to work with me and I seem to get OPK peaks the day after I ovulate so it’s hard to catch the right time. BBT showed I may have not ovulated this month BUT my progesterone was 33 at 21 days so I must have!
Hopeful for June 🤞my partner is in the Navy and gets his first posting for months away next summer so we really wanted one before this time.
sorry for long message (low/weird BBT attached). I’m 32 by the way.

First loss was between 9 and 10 weeks and found out at 12 week scan, second one baby measured behind from 7 weeks but took until 10 weeks for final confirmation.

I got it around 10DPO but don't know exactly as I didn't track ovulation 😊 11DPO should be fine! X

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 14:07

@CSmith1 so sorry to see AF arrived, next cycle with be yours! sending all the positivity!

@JumpinJellyfish there's still hope if AF hasn't shown! fingers crossed for you.

There seems to be quite a few of us still waiting to see if this month is the month we get our BFP's!

I am 9DPO, and I tend to get a bit doolally around this time, I can't concentrate. I stupidly did a test at lunch time.. negative! so then i decided to try another brand.. negative of course 😩, I am my own worst enemy.

no symptoms really, had what i thought was heartburn last night but it only lasted a few minutes.

@T0r11210 I am that person that googles everything 😅and I definitely googled that last month when AF arrived

QuirkyJadeSwan · 21/05/2024 15:41

33 and on cycle #3, if successful this will be my first. I know it may be a bit harder for me since I'm a bit older.

Rycbar · 21/05/2024 15:48

I AM SHAKING

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 15:53

@QuirkyJadeSwan I am also 33 ttc for 1st, I know a lot of ladies in their mid-late 30's even early 40's who have conceived quickly so try not to worry about age 😊

@Rycbar oh my goodness congratulations!!! how wonderful!! how many DPO are you?

Only 9! We’ve been trying for nearly a year so I was convinced it hadn’t worked again. I just had an overwhelming urge to test this afternoon and it came up straight away!! (I’m also 33!)

Marshmallow99 · 21/05/2024 16:01

@Rycbar wow thats incredible that you have such a strong positive at 9DPO! I have also been ttc for a year, the relief you must feel right now must be amazing!

I'm 9DPO today too, i took a test at lunch but i have drank so much water i don't know why I did it 😢.. I will try again in the morning (i have no patience tehe)
