TTC May '24

[ButItHasCheese]

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

Its only around 8/9 days :( when I got pregnant the first time it was more like 12-13 which is why I'm worried. I have started taking vitamin b complex, I feel like my body was trying to ovulate a few days ago (rising ovulation tests, change in cm) and then again yesterday? So not sure whats going on. I'd be due on next Sunday.

@Dereksscrubcap have you tried BBT? It's the only way to know for sure if you've ovulated. Might put your mind at ease.
@WildeWalker my boobs hurt too, but I'm only 2dpo and it started day of ovulation which is just annoying 🙃

Not yet no - its next on my list if things don't work out this month! X

The TWW is awful, I thought I'd be so chill going into this one. Apparently not 😬 did you test??

I've never done BBT - I haven't tracked at all this month but will do OPKs next month and maybe bbt the month after that if I'm still not pregnant!

@ThelastRolo20 yeah, negative, shock 😂 feel better getting it out my system!

I tried and failed at OPKs this month 😫 I only really have the chance to do it once a day and I am so bad for not being able to hold wee that I just didn't feel they were worth doing. All it did was stress me out that I wasn't seeing a peak! Tried to go with it and do the deed every other day but I feel I may have left it too late to start. We will see how we get on. TWW is awful especially when you only had to do it once the first time (incredibly lucky I know!!). Also find CM hard to go off because I have a lot less this time and hard to tell what is 'left overs'' 😂

@Irish812 apprently sore boobs is a signed of ovulation so not necessarily a bad thing 😊

@SummerSun24 yes I've had it before! It'll be hard not to symptom spot over the next few days. Opks do make things more stressful and to be honest your covered if you DTD every 2-3 days. Is this your first ttc?

@Irish812 no this is #2 for us. First time round was so different, conceived on a stress free holiday where we didn't have a teething toddler interrupting us or bringing back bugs from nursery 😂 is this your first?

Hey - can I join too please?
I’m 30 yo and currently 2DPO. This is our 6th cycle trying 🤞

I’m in TWW now and playing the game of is this period coming or preggo signs. Hopefully will know within a week.

This month I’ve tracked my body temp and discharge and was really able to pin point when I ovulated so definitely were shagging at the right time AND we tried fertility lube AND I started Accupuncture so hoping chances have increased.

I tried to drink a glass of wine yesterday and it tasted really weird so not sure if that’s a sign?!

Anyway sending solidarity to everyone here ❤️

I'm in my fertile window now so will be entering the TWW over the next few days 😃 using OPKs as they worked for us last time (even though I miscarried 💔). I've a very dark line this morning 🤞🏼

Well I thought I'd try one last strip and it is very very very dark today!! So we will be on same TWW @Bb542 . I am glad I've done it in the end cos I'm on CD19 so late ovulation I probably would of otherwise missed.

That's great you caught it. Have you managed to DTD much? The cycle I conceived I ovulated very late too and only knew because I used OPK! Hope it works out for you 🤞🏼

Yeah we have managed every other day since Monday @Bb542 going to again tonight which we wouldn't have otherwise maybe bothered with but will for sure now!!

Can I please join…5dpo but only dtd at 1dpo, got the LH peak at midnight the day before…🤞

Will jump in too please! 4dpo at the moment but I have quite a short luteal phase of 10 days so will know in a week I hope.

BFP in Feb but MC at 7 weeks in March so hoping for better luck 🍀

Keep seeing friends announcements and it’s really tough!

So I caved and tested this afternoon (which at 8DPO is just ridiculous). It's negative but I had a look of fun pretending there was a start to a shadow there 😂

I hope you managed to hold off!

@ThelastRolo20 hahah 😂😂 your brain will trick you into seeing a line won’t it!

I’ve been out with my friend this morning so that’s been a good distraction. But just got back and had my Amazon delivery of the first response ones so the temptation is real 😂

Im trying my best to hold off until AF is late now as don’t want to keep giving myself false hope!

TMI PIC WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Hello, just joined this thread. I'm 8dpo. Extreme sore nipples that have only worsened today! Nausea with a couple of episodes of vomiting! Which is what I had with last pregnancy this early: ended up being a CP. Lots of creamy cm and few other symptoms but my main ones are those. Not sure if I see a squinter 😬 about an hour ago I had a smidge of pink which only happened in one wipe and went again. Not sure if implantation 😵

Yeah I'm keeping the first response for a few days time! Well done for staying distracted ❤️ keep the tests out of eyesight of the toilet 😂😂

@ThelastRolo20 might have to ask my partner to hide them somewhere 😂

I’m due on around the 09th/10th, when are you due?
My last period was my first after my TFMR I had cramping and spotting for 5 days before so I kind of expected it to be a little bit worse this time as well but so far I’ve had nothing other than a weird pain in my hip/pelvis area over the last two days which I’ve never had in relation to my period before! So hard not to read into these things

@apple67cherry ooo you’re the same dpo as me and @ThelastRolo20 !
Sorry to hear about your chemical, fingers crossed for you this month 🤞

TW PIC!!!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️
So went toilet again and had this but only seems to be when I wipe and has only happened today, not heavy but red. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this as implantation?? only 8dpo. Convinced myself it was pregnancy before this spotting with my symptoms and dtd every day of fertile window!😦

Next Saturday so whatever date that is 😂 I really hope this month is the one for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻
