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 ✨❤️

Hello ladies, those who are pregnant/been pregnant before, did you experience Implantation bleeding? My first pregnancy I had implantation bleeding around about 9/10 DPO, just a few little pinkish spots and I knew as soon as I seen it that I was pregnant. Im roughly 10dpo now and haven't experienced any which makes me think I'm out this month but I'm just curious as to how many people actually experience and Implantation bleeding 🕵️.

Yes, I’ve had implantation bleeding with 3 pregnancies!

fingers crossed for you x

@Marshmallow99 Sorry it's taking so long for you too :( wishing you all the best for this next cycle and with your testing—hopefully you get some answers and your BFP!

Also, how do you find the fertility cup to use? I'm interested in trying it but am worried it will be a bit of a pain.

@SLLR I can totally relate. My husband and I just moved to the UK and had no idea how to approach a doctor about testing since we are still getting situated in the NHS. We decided to start with at-home testing instead for that reason and to hopefully bypass some of the long wait times there, but I bet we will have to go the NHS route eventually if we're still ttc after a few months. From what I've read, the NHS will start testing after 6 months ttc if you're 36 or older, so they probably would start those for you :)

The test my husband did isn't available anymore, but it was very inexpensive and tested sperm motility and count, and I've seen other similar tests available that are supposed to be pretty accurate. I just did a Hertility test, and so far I would recommend it, but since I don't have my results back yet that should be taken with a grain of salt. And I do have three discount codes if anyone wants one.

Good luck approaching your doctor—sorry I can't give you any advice in that regard!

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us next cycle!

Omg this is exactly like me. I had to have surgery as his heart stopped at 15 weeks and 14 months on I get horrendous stomach ache and cramps from 7 soo until af. Had a scan last weeks a they said all is fine, in for bloody on Friday as that's when I'm due on so hopefully I'll get some answers. Have you spoke to your go hunni?xx

I've been pregnant 3 times and never had implantation bleeding with any of those x

@priscillamon i have found it quite tricky but at this point I will try anything 😂. It’s the getting it out which I’ve found the worst part, I thought I was going to have to go to A&E at one point, it took me a while to get out.

as I missed my peak this month I’ll give it another go next month if AF arrives!

CD 14 and still no sign of ovulation. Premom estimates I am in my fertility window with estimated ovulation on Saturday. When would that show up on an lh strip? I feel like this cycle has lasted forever even though I'm only on cd14. I just want to ovulate 😫

Feeling down not sure if it's just hormones. Just feel like nothing's happening

Oh we are in the same boat! Can’t offer any advice I’m afford as trying to figure it all out myself but at least we’re not alone ☺️

I’m on CD 19 and my LH tests are only just picking up (0.45 on Premom) and I’ve had flashy smiley all week on clear blue. I was the same as you Premom said I’d ovulate CD14 and natural cycles is predicting tomorrow…

all very confusing! I’ve only been off the pill for 2 cycles but I came off a few years ago for a while just for a break and I was super regulate 30 day cycles. So I’m worried I’m ovulating too late 🥲

I’ve read on some forums on Flo that the prolactin tests for Hertility are incredibly sensitive.
I also did the tests and prolactin came back fine but my AMH was out of range according to them (levels were 57.93) and there out of range was from 35 and up . I contacted a doctor via NHS app and they said that the range for 25-30 year olds is actually 3.74-61.88 which I found interesting!
going to keep TTC for a few months and then see if I should go look at scans - high AMH is linked to PCOS but I have no other symptoms of it and all other tests were in range so not sure what to make of it

@SLLR @Moomoo20 how are you both getting on? I’ve managed to resist testing at 10DPO. My resting heart rate on my Apple Watch was really low today which makes me feel that I’m out. For both my DS1 and MC, my heart rate was kept going up during the TWW which was interesting!

I just got a BFP after thinking I was out... in absolute shock

@ButItHasCheese huge congrats on your BFP amazing news 👏 what dpo are you? How are you feeling? Xx

@ButItHasCheese omg congratulations! What made you think you were out?

I'm out again, AF turned up 2 days early.
I'm gonna take a break for a while, my mental health is in the bin and I'm not sure what to do.
Want to avoid being a shite wife and mummy so taking a seat. Congrats to all the bfps x

@Irish812 I'm 12DPO, had a negative at 10DPO and then all the signs of AF on the way, so assumed I was out. The tip off for me that I might be pregnant was how exhausted I felt at my spinning class (almost like I'd run a marathon the day before)... so I knew I was either coming down with something or pregnant 😂
@LindyMoe sounds like a good idea - I took a break in April, and came back much more relaxed about everything. I hope you take care of yourself, and come back when you're ready x

Yes exactly. They told me it was probably a spike due to being stressed about drawing my own blood, which would make sense as I found it quite challenging and had to use three different fingers. Did you struggle too?

Hi Everyone :) my partner and I are ttc and I’m 9po today and I got impatient and took a test this morning, can anyone see a faint line or do you think it’s an evap line? Does anyone know how to tell the difference?
Thanks

Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏

It's good to listen to yourself and take a break if you need it. I had some anxiety regarding our engagement (because of social expectations and the fact that I wanted to start a family ASAP) and I was almost ready to call it off and focus on the family part, but did some meditation and found an angle to not let it affect my mental health. I also felt I was being a shirty partner with all the anxiety and I feel much better after the meditation. I used self guided meditations off YouTube. I hope it helps! Xxxx

@Marinaautumn this is exactly what I thought. My first blood sample was rejected, after spending an hour squeezing all of my fingers so my friend who is a nurse helped me but had to get the blood from my hand so I did feel quite stressed at the time.

Really hoping we both get our BFPs soon 🫶🏽✨

Definitely a line congrats 🎉 x

So Im 11 DPO had mild cramping yesterday and this morning. I've just been the loo and had a tiny tinge of pink on the paper, so I'm out I think. The last few months this has happened to me, I've had spotting about 11dpo for a few days then full blown period arrives. Absolutely gutted!!!

Positive OPK or gearing up for ovulation? Still getting used to these tests, the liner is certainly a lot darker than yesterday!

It's definitely not a positive yet but it's getting close, probably tomorrow or the next day 🙏

I can see a line and I never see lines! Congratulations!!

I think I’m out this month, I’m only 5/6 dpo but with my last (unsuccessful) pregnancy I had sore, hard nipples and fuller boobs almost from ovulation I would say. I’ve got absolutely no symptoms this time round and boobs are tiny as usual so feeling a bit deflated.

Anyone who’s been pregnant before - do you always have the same signs and symptoms with every pregnancy?
