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!

Hi, I’m 10dpo and waiting is driving me mad so I did a clear blue ultra early not sure if I’m seeing things ! I also feel dizzy and bloated but that’s not abnormal before my period anyway

@Lemoncake199111 I’m not sure if ive line eyes but can defo see something very faintly! Hopefully it gets stronger!!

I actually ended up ovulating a bit later on this cycle given the Egg white Cm etc luckily we DTD after usual ovulation so will have caught it anyway , so only 1DPO now a bit annoyed as now I’m not sure when to expect AF, but I’m going to test 15DPO if AF doesn’t show! I won’t be testing any earlier! Now to find something every day to keep me and my youngest busy for next 2 week 🤣

Ah - hide the tests! That's my suggestion 😂 I caved around 6DPO 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

TicklishDreamer · 07/05/2024 12:24

@ThelastRolo20 i don’t know where they are in the house, my other half hides them 🤣 I am thinking book a day out every day next week to avoid thinking about it! I don’t even have work to take my mind off it because I got made redundant just after I had my second and a massive pay out Along with some inheritance from my grandad so decided we could afford for me to be a SAHM for a few years those few years could turn into a few more with a third baby 🤣

Thank you all
ive got some internet cheapies but when I had a loss last year I didn’t test positive on them for ages, and my hcg was very high. I’ll try a cheapie one next day or so and then see if AF arrives!l (due Friday)

Covermeinsunshinex · 08/05/2024 09:32

Oh my god….. I cried yesterday because I felt so defeated - with my apps moving my O date which I thought had ruined our chances, turns out it was an implantation dip!!!! Had all the usual AF symptoms but something inside me was persuading me to test. Even used SMU 😭😭😭😭😭 I haven’t told my husband and can’t believe this is real. Going to wait until Sunday to test again as I’ll be over 4 weeks then. HOLY SHIT we’re having another baby!!!

TicklishDreamer · 08/05/2024 10:10

@Covermeinsunshinex massive congratulations that’s a good line for SMU too!!

Georgethecat1 · 08/05/2024 10:33

Anyone else not 100% sure or scared after losses? I kinda want to give up but I also know I want another baby. Feeling a bit stressed about it all today!

Georgethecat1 · 08/05/2024 10:33

@Covermeinsunshinex amazing news!

TicklishDreamer · 08/05/2024 10:56

@Georgethecat1 yes at least every other day since my loss I will be like oh do we really want this and what if it happens again!

Hello ladies, I am also TTC I went to have my copper coil removed 2 weeks ago and my wires had gone up into my cervix but been back today and they used a little tool (like a drain cleaner) and got that thing right out of there.
I have had 3 previous pregnancies with 2 successful and have 2 beautiful bright young boys 12 and 4. With a mmc in between them.
I'm almost 35 and worrying age is against me this time round. According to my app ovulation is around the 14th. What ovulation apps are you ladies using and find the best? Thankyou

Smileymom · 08/05/2024 12:42

@Lemoncake199111 I definitely can see something! Can't wait to hear the news. 🤞🏼

@covermeinsunshine that's a fantastic line, absolutely no doubt there. Congratulations x

emmatcc1 · 08/05/2024 12:50

@BlueberryPoppy123 Apps can’t predict ovulation as they use the standard 14days luteal phase. I recommend using ovulation tests or BBT to track ovulation.

BlueberryPoppy123 · 08/05/2024 13:20

@emmatcc1 thankyou
My husband isn't keen on over planning it when I said about buying ovulation tests and just says let it happen but bizarrely he's forgotten who he married so ill see how the bbt goes as I'm sure that's a feature on the app I have too

emmatcc1 · 08/05/2024 13:57

@BlueberryPoppy123 I wouldn’t say it’s over planning because it’s so common to find out you’re ovulating at a different time when starting tracking. You have tests, bbt, cervical mucus and position, ovulation pains to make sure you dtd at the right time, or simply dtd every other day to cover any possible ovulation date.

Lemoncake199111 · 08/05/2024 17:55

Done a couple of red dye ones, nothing on them (I did a Superdrug early one and an easy at home)
not got a good feeling 😔 even though I’ve been so thirsty and crampy the complete negatives are disheartening.
but with my molar I didn’t test pos until 1 day after missed period, and my HCG was super high with that once it did rise.

How's everyone feeling today? I'm 2dpo today and can feel the smallest little twinges in my upper stomach but probably just imagining it tbh 😂

TicklishDreamer · 08/05/2024 19:24

@Bb542 i feel nothing roughly 2DPO I think 🤣 I don’t know if that’s a good sign bad sign or what anymore 🤣
when are you planning on testing? I’ll be due on 20th May so going to try wait till then!

Yeah I'm pretty sure I feel nothing too. Just imagining symptoms 🤣 I think I'll test next Tuesday/Wednesday. I'll be 8/9 dpo and that's when I got my positive test last time. I'd tell myself I won't test until I'm late for my period but I know well I don't have the will power to wait 😂 fair play to you though for not testing. I wish I was that strong 🤣

TicklishDreamer · 08/05/2024 21:12

@Bb542 im not that strong…. My other half hides the tests round the house in high places so I can’t reach them 🤣
You’ll have to keep us updated with any symptoms and what that test says!

Huge congratulations, that's brilliant news.

Good job I use ovulation tests, got my static smiley 5 days earlier than I have done every previous month. Now 1 doo and already knackered! Probably the progesterone kicking in!

TicklishDreamer · 10/05/2024 06:34

How is everyone?!

I was 4DPO and I’ve had a couple of sharp twinges which I’m sure are nothing but obviously symptom spotting!

4DPO too and feeling bloated and little twinges in my stomach. I'm probably overthinking it all. When are you going to test? I just want it to hurry up now 😅
