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!

Yes I was so shocked!! It sounds weird but I’m a teacher and we have chicks at school due to hatch this week, our last batch didn’t and I thought it was such a metaphor for my current situation and then this morning one of the eggs pipped (the chick starts to peck through) and I just knew it was a sign 😂

Ive been there - the amount of times I tested at 7/8dpo and obviously nothing there. 9dpo is still really early though so I have everything crossed for you!!

I love looking out for signs! Last month I kept seeing ladybugs, one even in my room and they never usually are there, it had 2 spots so i took that as a sign that in 2 months I would be pregnant 😅.. we shall see! Apparently they symbolise fertility.

Thank you, I will keep you updated! x

@Marshmallow99 I love looking at signs as well.
I remember first time around I saw one of those tiktoks where it said that in December I’m gonna be pregnant and the sign will be broken traffic light on my way home and sure enough on the day af was due I saw that and tested bfp.
Today I saw two tiktoks saying this Sunday will be significant which will be 7dpo (I implanted 7dpo last time) and my spiritual animal will be an elephant, we have a big plush elephant at home that we bought at the start of our ttc journey for our future baby and I use it everyday as a pillow.

@emmatcc1 wow I love that! I am going to go on TikTok later and see if anything comes up for me 😄x

Congratulations on that beautiful BFP result @Rycbar!
Good luck and patience to all those still waiting!

@Rycbar congratulations! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 🥰

Morning ladies, how are we all doing? I did a test this morning and I thought I saw the faintest of lines, I’m not sure how reliable these tests are but can you see it? X

Morning!

Congratulations @Rycbar !

I see a faint line @Marshmallow99, how many dpo are you?

I’ve had some spotting this morning but I’m only 5 dpo so too early for implantation bleeding, I’m not sure if it’s my period making a randomly early appearance but that would be way earlier than normal as my cycles are normally 26-28 ish days.

I can see it! Have you downloaded a pregnancy checker app where you can invert the picture?

@InevitableWithdrawal i am around 10dpo today, I will try again in the morning 😄, hoping it’s not a false positive! That sounds positive to be spotting 5DPO, maybe you ovulated 1 day earlier?

@Rycbar oo which app do you recommend, I will have a look today 😊

x

@Marshmallow99 ahh fingers crossed it’ll be darker by tomorrow morning!

I’m out for this month, AF has arrived so I clearly have just had a weirdly short cycle. I’ll chalk it up to it only being my second cycle since coming off the pill and hope things straighten themselves out over the next month 😅

Hi everyone! I have two kids now #TTC3!
I am on the second month of trying. I am 2 dpo today!! Feeling positive this month!

Thank you! I am happy to hear of other women my age looking to start a family.

I think yesterday was a faulty test as today it’s BFN. Pretty sure I’m out this month, AF is due to arrive Sunday 😔

I stupidly did a test this morning at 9dpo and negative 😞 I don't think this is my month unfortunately. I got a positive last time at 9dpo (although it ended in MC).

@jellyfish2 its so hard isn’t it, I say every month just wait for AF to show before testing. Currently googling ‘11dpo BFN then got BFP’ To make myself feel better but equally don’t want to give myself false hope.

I think there would be a faint line by now at 11dpo 😔

fingers crossed for us but if not there’s always next cycle 🤍

@Marshmallow99 it's so hard. I'm googled so much and it's just all consuming that it's depressing. Hopefully we get late BFPs 🩷
I also checked my Fitbit and my resting heart rate has remained consistent in mid 60s whereas when I was pregnant before it had jumped up to early 70s at around 6dpo. That also makes me think it's not my month.

Sorry to read about the bfn today @Marshmallow99 you are not out yet.
Let's wait and see. I'm 11dpo today and AF due Sunday too.

@jellyfish29dpo is still very early and even though you had a bfp last time at this stage, each pregnancy can be very different. Fingers crossed!!

I tested yesterday with Clear blue, had a very faint line but was hours after. I def should have discarded after 10 minutes it but couldn't help 😂

I haven't tested this morning as I haven't got any left. Will receive some this afternoon.
Still cramping and worrying it could be endometriosis as it started at 3-4dpo. Never had cramps or ovary pains this early, it usually starts 5-7 days max before AF.

We'll see...

@Chocolate4 thanks. How many dpo are you? It's so hard resisting to test, I wish I could just wait for my period rather than torture myself.

@jellyfish2 I am 11dpo today. I feel the same, and every time I convince myself that next month I'll just ignore my calendar or test only of AF is late.

I randomly bought a pineapple yesterday and thought why not give the pineapple core method a go. I’m doing 3-7 dpo.

I THINK I might be pregnant....

I was determined not to test until my period is due. But I must have ovulated early. Or the test is wrong.

@lavafield Thanks for the advice. Turns out it might have worked after all. I must have ovulated earlier than expected! I really hope so because I don't think I can take the stress of trying to conceive again

Definitely tested far too early and now I'm trying not to get too excited... by my calculations I'm only 7dpo but maybe I got that wrong

@Jessb2021a how exciting! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
