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!

The quality image is rubbish 😂 so much clearer in real life but there we are. Thank you - I really hope this one works out, I ovulated on my due date, found out on the same day as I did with my daughter (May bank hols), and having another Jan baby. I've taken folic acid for months so I really can't have done any more!

I woke up this morning to (TMI) cloudy urine and a negative ovulation test. I had a very dark test yesterday so I thought I'd still have a dark test today. I'm so confused as I normally don't ovulate until day 17ish and we only DTD once 😢 I'll probably be out this month now 💔

If you had the surge yesterday it can take up to 24 hours for egg to be realised and it lives for about 12 hours? So if you can dtd today that will count!

@Bb542 it only takes one time though you never know!!

@Bb542 exact same happened to me, had a darker than usual opk in the afternoon but a few days earlier than usual so thought we can relax and dtd tomorrow. Positive opk late that night and only managed to dtd the night after, when opk was negative and o symptoms were gone! But it’s confusing because some sources say o symptoms are just the symptoms leading up to o, and on o day itself you actually don’t have symptoms or a +opk anymore.

Anyway wishing you luck and hoping the egg was strong!

Thanks guys 🥰 hope you're right 🙊 we managed to DTD earlier so hopefully it's enough 😬

@ThelastRolo20 did you do any more tests?

I'll do another one with FMU - which will hopefully make it seem real! Best of luck - today should cover it 🥰

Ooh, looking good ThelastRolo20. Absolutely crossing all fingers for you x

Hello, I'm cd3 today. I had a MMC at 10 weeks in March. We're not feeling ready to jump in quite the way we did with my last two pregnancies, but we've decided to track very loosely and just see what happens this month.

I'll only be tracking really to keep tabs on my cycle, as it has taken 6 weeks after the D&C for AF to show up.

8dpo and was feeling good this month but a BFN this morning - even though I know it's early, I've lost a bit of hope.

How many dpo is everyone else?

Hi All, TTC just this month. Mother of 2 girls, lost our beautiful youngest(7yo DD) to cancer last year. So very scared of trying again after 10 years, I have another DD 13yo. I had a mmc 11years ago.

@ThelastRolo20 your pic is very exciting, I can see shadow on top test. Looking forward to hearing a lot of great news sharing sparkly sticky dust, sorry for all who have experienced loss. xxxx

Thank you, that's so kind. I am so sorry about your daughter, I can't imagine what the last year has been like for you all. Would you like to tell us anything about her? What was her name?

I've had two MMCs but also have a 2.5 year old so I live in hope ❤️ this morning's test is darker so I'm going to leave it for a few days now xx

@Smileymom im so very sorry to hear this. Such unimaginable pain you are going through/have gone through. I’m so sorry. My heart is with you 🥺

Congratulations to those with BFPs! Wonderful news 💜wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies 🫶🏼

Hi ladies please may I jump in? I’m so confused - I tested using CB digital OPKs which gave me a static smiley on cycle day 13…and I used bbt alongside via natural cycles. Based on my temp this morning, natural cycles is telling that my O date moved from day 14 to day 18! We only managed to dtd 3 times this month as I had sinusitis and then a stomach bug after 😩 I feel so deflated as I am due on my period on Thursday according to Flo and Friday according to natural cycles, and feel so I think the cramping I’ve felt is actually PMS.

We have a 2.5 year old boy who was conceived so quickly, and we never used OPKs, so the struggle is real. Sorry for the rant. Feeling sad this morning x

Pictures for reference x

@Covermeinsunshinex did you have any cramping/cm on either of those days? I have really dry cm after o xx

I'm not an expert but I would say your BBT graph labelled your ovulation at the wrong time. I think that big drop on day 12/13 would suggest you ovulated then. From memory, it drops quickly then rises again when you ovulate.

Personally, I used BBT when I was trying for my 1st and it worked week. Now I have a toddler it doesn't work so well so I'm sticking to OPKs. I always find if I move around too much at night or early morning before testing then the temperature reading isn't accurate (and I'm still up in the night with my 2 year old sometimes!)

@Smileymom I am so sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine the grief and pain you’ve all been through.

welcome to the other newbies!

@ThelastRolo20 i hope that lines a lot stronger this morning!!

Thank you 🥰 it certainly is! Xx

@ThelastRolo20 absolutely no doubt that that's positive. Congratulations!!🩷🩷 So happy for you.

@Smileymom I'm so sorry to hear of your beautiful daughter. I can't even imagine what you and your family have been and still are going through. 💕

@ThelastRolo20 thats amazing!! Congratulations!!

Thanks all, my little girl was diagnosed in April 22 with a brain tumor. From diagnosis we knew her time was precious, it was incurable. She was the most incredible little human being. She didn't let the battle rock her spicy attitude. We thought we were finished when we had the 2 girls but it's taken a long time to understand we have so much more love to give. I'm terrified of the misconception that ok trying to replace her and that's not true. I do worry what other people think and I shouldn't!

On the 3 pregnancies we have conceived very quickly so I'm unsure of what is about to happen. It's been 10 years since my last pregnancy and my eldest is turning 14 in July so a huge age gap. But we're sure she'd love a baby, she's said so.

I'm out of the loop with lingo and methods but I am not due to test for another week. I have had tingling nipples, gas and I napped yesterday for the first time in forever. So I'm looking forward to living in your journey highs for the next week or so.

I am so unbelievably sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope you're doing ok and wishing you all the best on your TTC journey 🩷

@ThelastRolo20 congrats 😁🥰 they're two great lines!! So happy for you. Any symptoms you noticed leading up to the positive test?

@Smileymom so sorry for your loss. Thank your sharing a little bit about your daughter, she sounds like a gorgeous girl. I’m sure no one would think you are trying to replace her.

@Covermeinsunshinex im no expert either but that NC graph doesn’t look right to me. I would have said your ovulation was day 14. Sorry you are feeling sad about it!

@ThelastRolo20 thats looking like a definite line now woohoo 🥳

I had mild cramps from early on in the TWW, vivid dreams, and the day before my first test I was leaning against the kitchen counter and it felt uncomfortable! I had watery cm but really not a lot at all.

Just hoping this one works out 🤞🏻🤞🏻
