TTC June 2024 ✨♥️

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in June 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of May to June ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

I’m good! Cycle finally finished CD46 and I’m CD1 today which is a massive relief. The CP messed me up big time but ready to start again properly this cycle after pretty much missing my peak last cycle 😫

i also finally got a thermometer so been doing that which is quite fun (for now 😂)!

how are you?

Just a PSA for anyone and everyone - the clearblue digital ovulation kit (purple one) is now £11 on Amazon!

Only a couple of months, which I think is why trying to figure out if/ when I am ovulating is stressing me out! Hopefully if I get that part nailed down I can move onto being stressed about the other 2 weeks haha 😂

Ohh I’m CD15 now I think so not too far ahead- still no signs of ovulation though. Been taking LH tests and my temp every day so I really hope I catch it as I haven’t managed too yet.

thanks- fingers crossed for you too ☺️🤞🏼 x

Did you try checking your cm? I find that very helpful together with the easy@home ovulation test strips. Good luck! 🤞

Just caved in and tested since my af is due today. BFN :_(
On top of that, this cycle I decided to try taking maca root and I read that it might make my af late anyway. Hopefully that's not the case.

@Marinaautumn it delayed my period when i took it by over a week.

I took it first month ttc and I had a BFP - not saying it was down to the Maca. I had a CP that month. My cycle was messed up massively because of the CP (cycle was 46 days long!) and I stopped taking Maca that month but have decided to try it again this month.

hubby and I will take it in turns having it every other day! Also meant to help with sperm!

I’ve tried keeping an eye on it, I had EWCM last weekend and nothing since so no idea what’s going on there! I’ve been doing LH tests twice a day since AF and they’ve always been around 0.22 mark on PreMom..

We’re DTD every other day anyway so I’m just hoping if I do ovulate we catch it 🤞🏼🤞🏼 thank you so much!

Hope you're all good.

I'm currently CD28 and my cycles range from 25-33, the last 6 months have been:
33 days (but had just come off the implant)
26 days
27 days
26 days
29 days
25 days

Trying not to be too optimistic but so far so good 😂

Well I had a shadow of a line at 8DPO then nothing and now massive cramps and some blood so I’m out. Do I stay here or will there be another group made?

How long did you have EWCM for? This is usually a good sign that ovulation happened around that time.

Hi all, CD6 so finished AF and plan to BD every 2nd day now. Usually ovulate on CD13/14 and cycles last only 25/26 days since coming off pill in Sept 2023. Started taking maca root (tablet form) this cycle so I really hope it doesn't mess my cycle up after hearing it has for some of you. But we try to add something new each month so I feel proactive.

2 days but I couldn’t pick anything up on the LH tests. We’ve covered all bases anyway so far 🤞🏼 will keep you updated NC says I’m going to ovulate this Wednesday so wait and see!

Hope everything is going ok with you. It’s so nice having people to talk to about it all as we’ve not told anyone we’re trying!

So I'm currently 7 DPO (used opks to track ovulation) and this is cycle 6 for us, been trying to since January 😒. I'm feeling no symptoms really. I'm trying so hard not to have a negative mindset, but it's hard because I've been so used to seeing negative tests the last 6 month's.
I thought I had run out of pregnancy tests, so I thought oh good, I'll just wait for AF instead of wasting tests. But I found 3 cheapies in the back of my wardrobe 🤣 now I'm just trying to hold off as long as possible to test. Anyone else around 7dpo?

Sorry to hear it's taken a while for you ❤️. Just wondering what tests your husband done, was it through NHS? Was your doctor happy to do bloods for you as well, or do you have to be ttc for a certain period of time before they will test. I'm 36 and Ttc number 2 for 6 months now. No idea how to approach the doctor about it. We fell pregnant first try with my first so I'm hoping nothing is wrong this time.

After my CP in May, a full 28 day cycle has come to end. AF arrived today, so on to a new cycle of TTC. Feeling positive and glad that my body managed to regulate itself quite quickly.

Back to testing LH in a few days, baby dust to us all :)

Yes keep us posted on here, it really helps to have this to put the thoughts out. My partner is very supportive, although he has a very "it-will-happen-when-it-happens" approach to the whole thing. I therefore don't want to burden him with all the symptom spotting and testing since I feel a bit ashamed of the tricks my mind is playing on me, so writing here definitely helps!

I'm also on Maca root for the first time. Af was due today but no sign yet, although I tested negative this morning. Are you planning on taking it all throughout the month?

@SLLR totally understand your mindset as I'm the same, thinking I'm never going to see a positive. But every month is a new chance, and every month your closer to a BFP!!
@Marinaautumn my husband is the same, so laid back compared to me as I'm getting impatient 😅 yes planning on taking the 500mg capsule everyday and hubby started it yesterday!

@Irish812 what capsules are you taking? I use the powder and mix it with water and it honestly takes like vomit 😂

@GreenPickle see image attached! Don't know how you're doing that, the capsule leaves a bad taste as it is 😂

@SLLR I am 7dpo today too! How long do you think you’ll break before testing?! I apparently have no willpower and tested today with an easy@home, BFN obviously. This is cycle #4 of TTC after a MC in February.

I tried some acupuncture this cycle and have a few subtle signs but really could be something or nothing as still so early! The second week of the TWW really drags! X

Ooh I have maca root we got it a while back and I never ended up using. May try next cycle too!

Update- just got my very first flashing smiley on a Clear Blue OPK 🤞🏼 taking that as a sign ovulation is on its way?! CD17 currently so I must ovulate quite late!

I’m 11dpo and BFN this morning. Not surprised as I’ve been crampy for the last couple of days.

What tests are people using? Google tells me FRER, but the only place I can seen them is Superdrug and they’ve been out of stock for a while?
