Thought I'd start one for people TTC in May - fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!

Hi, very much indeed. I'm in TWW currently. Baby dust to you!

ButItHasCheese · 03/05/2024 10:57

@TheSpryHazelBiscuit awww! How are you holding up? TWW is always such an emotional rollercoaster

Joining the TWW group! Drowning in anxiety and the fact that I am turning 35 next month in June is making me feel somehow guilty for not trying to start sooner :-|

WildeWalker · 03/05/2024 14:24

Hey Ladies, would love to join, currently 5dpo on third cycle trying for baby number 2. How is everyone feeling? I’m guilty of testing lots last two cycles, trying to stay chilled this time… we’ll see 🤪

SummerSun24 · 03/05/2024 17:49

TTC #2 cycle 3 technically but due to teething child one month and Illness another this is the first time we have actually been able to regularly DTD in the fertile window! In another thread but think I'm a bit behind on CDs a bit similar to more here. Think I should be ovulating at some point this weekend 😂 AF due 16th! Good luck to everyone.

ThelastRolo20 · 03/05/2024 19:13

Hey! I'll join - I'm in the TWW, currently 6DPO trying for baby 2 after two miscarriages. I'm also 35 next month in June 😊

RhubarbCrumble12345 · 03/05/2024 19:18

Hey, currently in my fertile week. Already have one DC and really hoping for a sibling. Been trying since August, got pregnant in December and had a miscarriage at 7 weeks after emergency surgery and a chemical pregnancy last month. Getting absolutely fed up now and close to giving up. Maybe I’m just meant to have one? Who knows! Argh… fingers crossed this is the lucky month.

soymilknosugar · 03/05/2024 19:23

Good luck everyone! Think I’ll be a bit later than most of you as I’m only on CD12. May be getting ahead of myself as April was my first period since coming off contraception so chances are cycles may be out of whack for a while but wanted to give myself a go without the stress of ovulation sticks etc first and see how things go!

@ThelastRolo20 @RhubarbCrumble12345 sorry to hear of your losses, here’s to hoping May is the month🤞

Irish812 · 04/05/2024 00:42

Hi all can I join? Currently 1dpo so just entered the TTW trying to conceive first baby cycle #4. First time using a fertility cup during fertile window so hoping for good news!

ButItHasCheese · 04/05/2024 02:44

@ThelastRolo20 and @RhubarbCrumble12345 sorry to hear about your losses - hopefully this is your month!
I'm behind everyone on CD3, so still mid shark week...

Mid shark week 😂😂

Hi everyone - I'm in the TWW too - holding out until Wednesday to test
Hope this is a lucky thread for everyone 🤞

WildeWalker · 04/05/2024 11:22

@spamOFtheDAY I’m thinking Wednesday too, will try not to cave before 😅

Irish812 · 04/05/2024 12:00

@WildeWalker @spamOFtheDAY TWW buddies! I'm only 2dpo going to test next sat when I'm 9dpo. Any symptoms yet girls?

Dereksscrubcap · 04/05/2024 13:17

Hey, TTC baby number 2. On our 3rd cycle of properly trying now - tracking ovulation etc. My main worry is my luteal phase is short and I only got a positive okp today (cd21) if anyone has any words of wisdom or positive stories I'd be grateful!

ThelastRolo20 · 04/05/2024 13:42

WildeWalker · 04/05/2024 11:22

God knows why as I'm trying to wait until Thursday but just did a test at 7DPO - obviously negative 😂

Irish812 · 04/05/2024 14:39

@Dereksscrubcap how many days is your luteal phase? Mine is 12 and they anything between 11-14 is normal.
@ThelastRolo20 the temptation is real haha. Keep testing and fx for you 🤞

Cabbie16 · 04/05/2024 15:09

Can I join please? I'm 36 and have a 2.5 yo. I'm on cycle 2 of trying for second baby.

jt130593 · 04/05/2024 15:25

Hi, can I join as well please!

Currently cycle day 24, about 7 or 8 dpo so currently in our TWW.
This is our first month TTC after we sadly lost our baby boy to TFMR in March of this year 💙

Welcome! I'm 35 this year with a 2.5 year old so similar 😊

Welcome! I'm around 7DPO too. So sorry about the loss of your lovely boy. Not the same but I've had two MMCs at 12 and 10 weeks so I understand to an extent ❤️

When are you going to test? I did today and obviously negative 😂 my husband thinks I'm ridiculous

jt130593 · 04/05/2024 15:30

@ThelastRolo20 sorry to hear about your losses ❤️

My partners going out with his friend in an hour and I was planning on testing then because he also thinks I’m ridiculous 😂😂 I know it’ll be negative but feel like I need to just get it out of my system 😂

I had said I was going to try and wait till 10dpo!

@ThelastRolo20 @Cabbie16 I’m also 35 with 2.5yo!!

I can’t say I’m really feeling any signs, my boobs hurt but I’m pretty sure they always do around this time, not as intense as when I was pregnant first time around.

Love that you’ve tested already, I would have if I had any, purposely not buying any yet so not tempted!

Amazing 😂 I was going to wait until 12DPO, now aiming for 11DPO, will likely cave 10DPO...

jt130593 · 04/05/2024 15:50

@ThelastRolo20 😂😂 it’s too hard not to isn’t it!

With our last baby we just had that conversation of let’s just stop trying to not get pregnant and see what happens. We fell really quickly but because we weren’t really trying trying I never experienced the TWW, my period was just 3 days late and I felt so weird but can’t explain how I felt.

So when we started TTC this time I said let’s just do it like we did last time, really chilled, wait for my period to be late, go with the flow 😂😂😂 I’ve been an absolute psycho. This TWW stuff is horrific!
