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 ✨❤️

4 months ago. First cycle after was 2 months, then 30 days, now 23 days. It was not like that before I started. My apt is next week.

Sorry if I've hijacked anybodies post im trying to get used to using this site..

So last 2 times I ovulated my boobs hurt loads when it happend I have one with positive test an one before that was by cm but this time I took concieve plus and I had 3 days with high tests and then but my boobs didn't hurt I got turned on easily this time tho. But now a week later my boobs are killing me my period should be due 10th. I've also had tummy pains on an off like pms last day pregnancy test say negative but the ovulation test came up darker one test an lighter with in 20 min I've had really bad heartburn waking me up kind of bad and still fairly wet down there just curious as it might be too soon to test.

The tests was darker but dried out now.

Thanks! I’ve been on the pill since I was 15 so doesn’t help that I really don’t know what my “normal” looks like. Guess I’ll just see what the next few months bring.

good luck for your drs app xx

You never know! Did you write any of your symptoms down last pregnancy? Tbh, all I remember last month was that I felt like I was going to get my period so my symptoms didn’t actually tell me much 😂

I love that for you! yess have a glass of wine and a takeaway and put a good romcom on… or love island 😂 try not to get in your head too much about it. I found that playing games on my phone or reading a book took me out of my head completely as I have to think above something else!

instagram didn’t help with a million pregnancy announcements either 😂

eeeek, I feel like last month I implanted 8dpo so I might just not do one and one 11/12dpo… if I can wait that long 😂 I have zero strip tests left after using 20 last month testing randomly. I did get the Asda ones before but the plastic screen is annoying. I did hear boots do good ones though!

Nope, I just thought it was another month not getting anywhere with conceiving 😂. I started bbt at ovulation but thought I was out with my graph. But I didn’t have any symptoms at all either until around 8 weeks!

I haven’t tested today as I’ve just realised my Femometer strips are only 25MIU so pretty pointless 😂. I’d seen people are they weren’t sensitive at all but didn’t think much of it, until I looked at the sensitivity last night I thought there’s literally no point even bothering with these 😅.

Yeah I’ve heard the boots ones are good too! I never used them with a BFP, but seen quite a lot of easy lines on them on mumsnet!

Cycle 5 day 1 of TTC today. Praying to conceive this month and find out early July. Wishing everyone the best of luck

@GreenPickle ah sorry to read that you feel your body has betrayed you. Our bodies do a type of quality control in early pregnancy, and if something is not quite right with the embryo it will make sure we don't put any more effort and energy into it. So as much as it hurts and causes anxiety, it is really doing the best for us in the long run. Hope you have the best wedding day, enjoy every minute of it!

There's a lot of chat here about how long it took people's mums to conceive. I am the result of a one night stand my mum had aged 30. I'm like HOW!? Here I am peeing on sticks and taking my temp every morning.

@KittyFantastica This all sounds so frustrating for you, I am so sorry! Really hope there is something can be done to balance your hormones soon.

@Nataliebella welcome! How many dpo are you? Are you wondering if they are early pregnancy signs? Implantation generally happens 6-10 days past ovulation, any signs before then are more likely to be caused by variations in cycles.

My update
I am 9dpo today, had a big BBT drop this morning which has sent me on a Google spiral. Also had a dull ache in my pelvic region in the left hand side. I think I actually had this before in a previous cycle (where I wasn't pregnant) but obviously I am reading into it too much! Anyway will know soon anyway as AF is due on Monday, will just lose my mind in the mean time!

Good about the symptoms! Also stops you obsessing over symptom spotting which is only a good thing!

did you give in and test? 😰 I did an LH test and it’s gone down now to .39 so looks like it’s going as it should. I’m trying to keep an eye on CM but not really sure what it’s like before a BFP vs AF so bit of a fools errand 🥲

i think I’ll hold off on the test to enjoy the day! Probably enjoy myself knowing that it’s a possibility and I just think 8dpo is too early for me!

hopefully you’ve implanted or just about to 🤞🤞

@CoolSummer89 thank you ❤️ really needed to hear those words m.

what great timing from your mum 😂 it’s a bit mad isn’t it! It’s mentally draining and likely does more harm than good emotionally. Before my first cycle I thought I was going to be soooo chill and not even take tests, just wait and see if my period comes or now…now I’m sticking my OPKs in a notebook and buying digital 😂 🥲 what’s a girl without an obsession anyway 💅

Yeah I think it’s definitely made me ignore every twinge and cramp, to the point where if I do feel it I think I’m out.

Nope I haven’t tested. I’ve lost all confidence in it so genuinely don’t think I’ll test for a few days.

I think that’s a good idea - just focus on the wedding, enjoy every moment and then continue thinking about BFP’s after 😊. You don’t want to look back on your wedding and think your mind was elsewhere.

my previous post - you can tell I was typing quickly mid busy day due to the wrong wordings, hope you grasped what I meant 🤣.

I’m home alone, going through every emotion in missing DD, pissed off about not conceiving, then feeling positive about figuring out a plan, then pouring another wine 😂. All the feels over here right now

@CoolSummer89first of all fingers crossed for you an thanks for the reply ❤️

I believe I'm 12 but could be 10 because of the ovulation date it was darker later than I added to my calendar. Haven't had spotting yet but got a sore tummy left sided lower abdomen and I know my uterus is on the left from a smear I had before. An yeah sorry I wasn't very clear im new to the ttc journey an have so many thoughts in my mind. Last 2 cycles my boobs hurt throughout. But this time they didn't hurt till a week later maybe I ovulated late. Haven't baby danced for a week tho because I just didn't feel like it as we did it about 6 days in a row before an on ovulating sorry for tmi. But just curious this time it feels different. Sorry I'm all over the place I've been very emotional an struggling with over thinking. Hope some of it made sense 🤣

Baby dust to you all ❤️

@Nataliebella ah ok, if you’re 10dpo/12dpo then you should be able to test soon. It is entirely possible to ovulate a bit later in your cycle. The first part of your cycle (1st day of period until ovulation) can fluctuate a little bit, but the second part (ovulation until period starts) tends to be fixed for each individual. Obviously there can be some hormonal imbalances at play.

from what you have said it might just be a slight variation from cycle to cycle, sometimes boobs hurt and sometimes they don’t! It’s always stressful first few cycles because you look into every little twinge in your body, but the further you go on you won’t stress so much. Hopefully you won’t be waiting much longer tho 💖

AF finally arrived in full force. Woke up at 3am to go to the toilet no signs of AF and then my son woke me at 5 climbing into my bed and I was wtf I've wet the bed nope just bled everywhere. So no idea what my body is playing at I am never heavy but at least we can start a new cycle now. Back to CD1. 😫

I am sorry and I wish you god luck for the next cycle! Sending you all the positive vibes!

9 dpo. LH level has been increasing also.
BBT has dropped and it might be caused by me breathing heavily because I am having a cold.
I have never see evaporation lines before. So is it an evaporation line?

I don't think that's an evap line looks like an early positive to me. I still don't understand the whole bbt though x

BBT is basal body temperature.
BBT fluctuates and starts to rise when you are about to ovulate then drops a bit after ovulation. Then BBT goes back up and remains high then drops when AF is due. Or BBT will remain high if you are pregnant.

What do people think of this, 10dpo

I see those lines @Moyaingoya and @LucyCL very exciting!

@LucyCL the easy at home strips are a lot more sensitive that the clear blues. I had strong positives on them before days before either the CB digital or early response has lines!

Definite line!!!!
Had you tested before that?
🥳

That's definitely a 2nd line. Congratulations how exciting for you and @LucyCL

@KittyFantastica Thank you for sharing you experience and trust me I do want to believe it is a faint positive however I just suffered from a CP so I am going to wait and see if there is line progression
@BlueberryPoppy123 Thank you for the feedback and I am guarding my heart at this point however I am still hopeful!
@Moyaingoya Congratulations! I feel like your line is a proper faint positive line whereas mine is still questionable...

So back on CD1 my husband doesn't want to plan and just wants us to carry on DTD as usual as and when we fancy rather than feeling we have to on specific days. He isn't keen on 'wasting money' on ovulation packs etc says it's not needed and it will happen when it happens. But I think for my mental well-being I need that (so I don't go through 12 pregnancy tests each month 😂) also because I've waited 4 years for him to agree to baby 3 I'm probably not as patient as he is. Tbh I think the ovulation tests I just purchased will save money on testing before ovulation etc. also going to start doing bbt. Downloaded a new app to log it as mine didn't have charts for bbt.
What day does everyone start doing the ovulation tests? First day after AF stops? Thanks :)

Oh @LucyCL this looks super promising! Especially for Cd9.

cd10 for me and a BFN. Been feeling a bit weird all week but it’s probably just general TWW stuff. Not sure why I allow myself to get my hopes up anyway, especially as we suspect DH has a low sperm count due to an operate when he was a kid. But I guess… where there is any sperm there is always a chance!

Does anyone have any advice on booking in a smear while TTC?

Will it affect conception if I have it done after ovulation?

Struggling to book a date as my period is irregular and I know they can't do it while on period 😭
