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 so sorry he’s in so much pain and nothings helping! What are the doctors suggesting! 😞

@emmatcc1 oh that sounds so worrying I'm sorry. They've ruled out things like appendicitis? In a way it can be good nothing too obvious is showing up! X

emmatcc1 · 29/04/2024 12:37

@TicklishDreamer@ThelastRolo20 Yep all clear. They did x-ray, CT and ultrasound and everything’s fine. They’re gonna flush his intestines and see if it helps, if not they’re probably gonna send him home.

TicklishDreamer · 29/04/2024 12:53

@emmatcc1 hopefully that helps! Like @ThelastRolo20 says it might be a good sign nothing obvious is showing up and hopefully it is something if nothing!

Hi all I'd like to join. Sorry to hear of losses, I had a MMC also in 2021. I now have dd who's 18 months and just finished my first period since coming off the depo injection, so on CD8 currently. Hopefully this means I'll ovulate in around 10 days if my cycle is going back to normal. Going to try a month with no ovulation testing etc to see what happens. Fingers crossed for everyone!

Bb542 · 29/04/2024 21:52

@emmatcc1 I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 how is he now?

@soymilknosugar welcome 🥰 I'm cycle day 9 so we're very similar. Sending baby dust to you!

I swore I wasn't going to buy ovulation tests this month... guess what's arriving from Amazon tomorrow 🙃

emmatcc1 · 29/04/2024 22:11

@Bb542 He’s doing much better now, thanks for asking😊
I’m the same with tests, literally thinking right now if I should order some.

TicklishDreamer · 30/04/2024 06:48

@emmatcc1 glad to hear he’s doing better

@soymilknosugar welcome!! I don’t do ovulation tests I find them very stressful I roughly know when I ovulate with the signs!

@soymilknosugar welcome! I'm also not OPK testing this month so we'll see how that works out 🤞🏻

@emmatcc1 so glad to hear he's doing better x

Help everyone!! I ovulate early in my cycle, my periods not due for another 9 days but I think I'm around 10/11dpo. Ttc after miscarriage in December 2023. Took a test this afternoon and the results are throwing me off. Can I get some help? Indent or a vvvvvv faint line?

Officially in my fertile window from tomorrow all signs pointing to gearing up to ovulate and I’m so over it already! 🙄 just ready to be at the end of the TWW!

@ttcjourney20001 im not very good at seeing lines/knowing if they are indents! I will only test using a digital after missed period because I can’t do with the confusion! Hopefully someone else will help you!

OP posts:
ThelastRolo20 · 30/04/2024 17:49

@ttcjourney20001 there is a shadow there but it's not clear enough to say for sure, could be positive or an indent. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow to test again 🤞🏻🤞🏻

soymilknosugar · 30/04/2024 18:02

@Bb542 @TicklishDreamer thanks both. So nice to have people in a similar boat timing-wise! I know the feeling lol I’m like that with pregnancy tests, can’t help it!

@TicklishDreamer ooo exciting are you trying anything new this month?

soymilknosugar · 30/04/2024 18:03

@ttcjourney20001 I feel like I can see a super faint shadow, hopefully the start of something!🤞

@ttcjourney20001 I feel like I can see a super faint shadow, hopefully the start of something!🤞

I hope it develops into a stronger line. Could be an indent at the same time.
I'll test again in a few days if I can wait that long 🫶🏼xx

ThelastRolo20 · 30/04/2024 18:10

@ttcjourney20001 you're better than me, I'd be POAS first thing in the morning 😂

ttcjourney20001 · 30/04/2024 18:25

@ttcjourney20001 you're better than me, I'd be POAS first thing in the morning 😂

I just really wanna believe there's a line there. I don't have it in me to wait a few more days 🫶🏼🙈 sending you good luck xx

emmatcc1 · 30/04/2024 18:57

How are we all feeling?
I feel like I’m at the start of my ttc journey again and symptom spotting is through the roof.

I'm doing okay 😊 how many dpo are you now? Will you be testing soon? X

emmatcc1 · 30/04/2024 19:24

@ThelastRolo20 I’m 8 dpo. I won’t be testing because I have no tests, and I’m not making the same mistake as last two cycles when I ordered clearblue tests for them to be negative. I’m tracking bbt and for me that’s like a pregnancy test because my temps drop around 2 days before af.

Very sensible 😊 I've never heard good things about clear blue. What symptoms are you having? I'm already symptom spotting at 3DPO which is impossible 😂

ThelastRolo20 · 30/04/2024 19:33

For all my early symptom spotters, a peer reviewed study in 1997 did find that in women who conceived there was a steeper increase in progesterone in the early stage of the luteal phase... So it might not all be in our heads 😂

emmatcc1 · 30/04/2024 19:36

@ThelastRolo20 I keep on getting sharp pains in my uterus and I’m going to wee quite a bit. Also last night I had a very specific dream that I rather not mention and I only had this when I was pregnant, I told the ladies I was in a due date group with and they also experienced it (definitely one of the weirdest pregnancy symptoms)

ThelastRolo20 · 30/04/2024 19:38

@emmatcc1 that sounds promising! When is AF due? X

Oh my could that show in a bbt chart? My temps have been kind of on the high end.
