Ttc may 2024

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!

@PoppyPeaches i gave myself period presents 🤣 when your next period is due or a few days after book something like a massage / hair app / afternoon tea / lunch with a friend. Might be things you are already doing but I planned around my period so I could say to myself that’s ok I now get to enjoy x,y,z and eat something you can’t while pregnant or get my hair highlighted etc. While I was still sad I tried to trick myself into thinking about a positive

Absolutely LOVE this idea. I might have to try this 😊 thank you for this lovely idea!

@ThelastRolo20 yeah today is day 6 if I last the day...I've no pregnancy symptoms....I'm tired but I've energy💁‍♀️
I have a feeling of fullness in lower abdomen and aches which comes and goes....everytime i go to loo i think its here but not yet......might be in my head that's why I think af must be on way.....
Last period 24th april so on day 35......if I last day....
I've been 28 days for last year even longer.....I'm not walking the walls wanting to test as every month I test on day 23 or 24 the 6 day early one then it arrived day 28 and I've ran out...so the stark white negative is very very familiär to me....
It's head wrecking this......isn't it....I've been going on Super long walks and drinking loads water as usually brings on af...but nothing yet.....
I will order tests for next week....

Keep everything crossed!

Shellbells44 · 28/04/2024 08:16

Hope I can join you all! Moved over from April TTC page. AF supposedly due tomorrow. Got cramps so feel it’s imminent! Sending you all lots of luck for this month 🤞🏻 and hope it’s all our month. It’s so devastating each month, I definitely want to treat myself to something each month when AF shows to cheer myself up!

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 08:20

@Shellbells44 welcome! Have you tested negative or just know AF is coming?

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 08:20

@Shellbells44 welcome! Have you tested negative or just know AF is coming?

Too scared to test after 18/19 months of trying. Just feel it coming! Hope you’re lovely and relaxed after a holiday and that means a good outcome for you!

How's everyone feeling today? I woke up at 5am last night with intense period cramps (even though I'm on day 8 now and my period has ended 🤔). My body is acting so strange since my miscarriage 🥲

Georgethecat1 · 28/04/2024 10:07

Period is here and waiting for it to finish, I’m super nervous about ttc. I feel like I could do with loosing 10kg first but then it’s putting it on hold even longer. I feel a bit conflicted about ttc (then over think if it’s what I really want)

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 10:40

@Bb542 my period just ended so we are getting ready for ovulation week 🤣 this part goes really fast it’s the TWW that’s drags

@Georgethecat1 im so sorry you feel so conflicted it must be awful to just not know 😞

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 10:44

I haven't tracked ovulation this month but typically pre MC I'd get a surge today so I tested (as I have no willpower) and it was quite faint. Given my cycles are around 2 days shorter and EWCM has dropped the last day or two I reckon I might have ovulated a day or two early. Not going to test again but will have sex tomorrow just in case I get a surge then instead!

Still going to consider today ovulation day as it's my due date for the baby I lost I'm October, and it seems to be potentially the most likely (surge could have happened yesterday)

Bb542 · 28/04/2024 10:51

@Georgethecat1 ❤️ I know how you feel... all sorts of emotions going through you. I think just go for it girl. Xx

@TicklishDreamer sounds like we're on similar days of our cycles. I totally agree, this part does so quickly and the TWW is hell 🙈

@ThelastRolo20 sending you lots of baby dust 🩷

Objectiontime · 28/04/2024 11:01

I've got to say my periods are still pretty regular after my MMC but they are heavier and more painful. Just want to get this round of AF out of the way asap, plus the previous due date and get on with another try. Guess we all feel somewhat frustrated by it at times.

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 11:40

@ThelastRolo20 oooo your entering the TWw then! 🙈
@Bb542 how long are your cycles! I’m lucky I have relatively short cycles of 25 days so I ovulate around day 11 usually!

@Objectiontime my periods became lighter post mmc! It is so frustrating trying to get pregnant I hate it! No more babies for me after this one!

OP posts:
ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 13:03

@TicklishDreamer I am! First one since December due to taking a 3 month break 😬 I'm going to try and not test until AF is due (11th May)...will see how long that lasts...

emmatcc1 · 28/04/2024 14:05

I’m 6dpo and starting to get some twinges and some cramps? On the other note we sold our house making us one step closer to our dream home. I’m so anxious how will we handle ttc and building a house, I’m really hoping this doesn’t postpone ttc as I’m desperate to be pregnant again.
Also do any of you wish for twins? I don’t know why but I totally see us with twins.

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 14:12

@emmatcc1 congratulations on the house sale! All I'd say is don't worry about problems before they even happen (in the sense that you'll figure it out once you conceive!).

I absolutely do not wish for twins 😂 2 is plenty of children for me, not sure I could cope with 3!

I keep thinking I'm destined for twins and have no idea why 🤣 they don't run in our family and I know it would be so hard especially having a toddler already but somehow I'd like them anyway!

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 14:15

@emmatcc1 my eldest wants us to have twins he’s obsessed with the idea of twin brothers I have no idea why! 🤣

congrualations on the house! Don’t worry about the move and Ttc I’m sure it will all work out fine!!

emmatcc1 · 28/04/2024 14:36

@ThelastRolo20 I actually want 3-4 if given the chance and if not then at least two. I feel like every kid needs a sibling.
@TicklishDreamer I think kids just love babies, I remember being that way when my mum was pregnant.
@jellyfish2 That’s exactly how I feel. Also no twins in our family and I didn’t feel that was last pregnancy but something just clicked in my head and now I want twins. My partner on the other hand is very much against it. My SIL has three kids and he always says there’s no way he could handle multiples.

jellyfish2 · 28/04/2024 14:39

@emmatcc1 my partner is the same. What will be will be! I've always said I'd like 3 but after the MC I'd be happy to just have one more.

My cycles are usually 28 days but since the miscarriage I've had 2 cycles and they've been 30-35 days 😫 I normally ovulate around day 16/17 but it'll probably be day 19/20 this time 🤨 sounds like you're going to ovulate sooon 😍😍 sending lots of baby dust 🩷

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 19:17

@Bb542 oh that sucks that they’ve got longer hopefully they sort themselves out and go back to normal soon! I’ve always had short cycles I’m lucky my miscarriage didn’t change that!

I will be entering my fertile window next few days which is exhausting 🤣

It's so exhausting 😅 I remember the month we got pregnant we were so exhausted but had to keep going 😂 good luck to you 🤣

TicklishDreamer · 28/04/2024 19:54

@Bb542 with my second it took us 6 months to fall pregnant and we didn’t touch each other for about a month just enjoyed going to sleep with no pressure 🤣

See the April thread is abandoned....

emmatcc1 · 29/04/2024 11:57

Really struggling here, my partner has been having unbearable abdominal pain for two days now and all tests and scans are clear. I’m really anxious for his health, don’t know what to do since no pain meds are helping.
