TTC May '24

[ButItHasCheese]

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

Congratulations!! 😚😚

so the pink has gone when I wiped this morning as far as I can see, 9dpo bfn today. Fingers crossed 🫶🫶

Everything crossed for you! I think it takes a couple days after implantation for HCG to rise high enough to be detected ❤️ tomorrow or the day after hopefully

@ThelastRolo20 gentle congratulations ❤️

It’s a good sign that it has stopped. Everything crossed for you 🤞I had lots of brown/pink discharge that led to red bleeding at 7w with DS - was shocked to see on scan that it was all fine xx

I’m 6po today getting a lot of cramping and lots of white stretchy cm which is not usual for me
But obv I’m overthinking because before ttc I would have weird symptoms after af without thinking about it 🙈

I’m either 9 or 10 dpo not sure when I ovulated as had 2 peaks and it’s my first time tracking so not really confident with it all.

I’ve had a lot of nasal congestion and sneezing which was one of my early symptoms first time round. Ive also been waking up in the night and not being able to get back to sleep which again I had first time round.

I have totally lost my appetite which isn’t normal for me in the run up to my period, I usually want to eat everything in sight. But then I’ve also had some mild cramping. Seems to be mainly on one side, and is lower down than my normal period cramps. Can also feel it going into my lower back which isn’t normal for me around my period.
Looking back over my flo entries with our last pregnancy I had cramping over 3 days just before my period, then tested 3 days later and got a positive.

Think I’m just thinking into everything too much! So trying my best to just stop stressing and waiting to see what happens by the end of this week!

@KarmaCaramello won't let me reply again to recent comment sorry! It's white - nothing when I wipe so put a bit of tissue inside me and pulled it out and it's still pale pink so not feeling hopeful but my nips are so so sore and gagging on my coffees which is exactly what I had with my last pregnancy 🙈😬

All sounds positive at the moment ❤️ you're doing so well to hold off. I kind of wish I had until tomorrow - I think the tests would be more definitive

Thoughts? AF due tomorrow - this is a 25miu so not sensitive...

I see it! Congratulations 🎉👏🏻

@coffeerocket I see it🤞

@ThelastRolo20 @soymilknosugar thank you! Couldn't help myself and ran to the shop

I can't believe it! Going to test more over the next week or so to keep an eye on it. Ahh!

Congratulations! Wishing you loads of luck

@coffeerocket yay congratulations!!

@coffeerocket congratulations! Great news

I caved and tested. BFN at 9dpo, it’s still early so have a tiny bit of hope still (I think) 🫣

Hi, hope it’s ok for me to join!
I’m currently TTC baby number 2, this will be cycle 1 after having my mirena coil removed last week. We got pregnant with our son on cycle 1 last time so hoping to see a BFP soon 🤞🏼would be nice to have some pals along the way!

Definitely. I normally get an absolute squinter at 10DPO. I'm only getting stronger ones this time as I didn't track ovulation and I wondered if I had ovulated early!

So I took a picture before I put it in the bin and now I keep looking like can I see a line or am I going mad!?

Currently 1dpo here after finally getting peak on CD19. Only managed to dtd CD17 and CD20 as unable to on peak day which I know is ideal time! Frustrated isn't the word, only hoping we did enough will be waiting till about 12dpo to test I think!!

Oo I think I see something! Test tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 do you have a red dye test? I hear clear blue aren't always the best x

Yeah have some arriving tomorrow 🤞🏻

Hi all congrats on all the BFPs I really hope I'll be joining you this month. Currently 4/5 dpo and boobs have been killing me since ovulation day, so kind of annoying they're still sore. I've had cramps today but not sure if it was gas. Cycle #4 for us so really hoping it's our month 🙏

Please may I join! TTC #1 ‘unofficially’ since Sept 2023 and ‘officially’ since January.

Feeling a bit deflated, really thought it would have happened by now especially as I’ve been pregnant twice before (both pregnancies terminated as I was in my early twenties and not ready, both times with my now husband). Can’t help but think I’ve blown my chances.

Anyway, currently 9dpo and have lower back cramps (usual for me pre af) and slightly sore nipples (not usual) but no other symptoms. Did a test today and bfn but hoping it might still be a bit too early.

These threads are a great source of knowledge and comfort, I’m slightly addicted to them!

@rlar we're very similar with our ttc journey. I'm cycle #4 trying for first baby. Great symptom spotting, keep testing it's still early! Planning on testing at 8/9 dpo this Saturday.
