TTC in 2025!

[EmCha]

Hi everyone, thought I’d make my first thread here to see if there’s anyone else planning to conceive in 2025? 🥰 I’m feeling so excited but also a little nervous as I have a cyst on my ovary. It doesn’t cause me any pain or symptoms but it’s being referred to as a suspected endometrioma so that causes me some anxiety! The gynaecologist told me I won’t know if it affects fertility until I try and he isn’t too worried. However that doesn’t stop my nerves! I really hope 2025 will be the year, I feel so ready to be a mum now. 🥹

My fiancé and I are planning to start TTC in April! Just started on my folic acid/vitamin d tablets and it’s starting to feel very real! Eek 🥰❤️ Anyone else in a similar position? I’d love to know any tips on how to best prepare my body in advance and any tips for my other half too!

@Furbsies ok, at least there's a plan in place. If you get your period will you try again next month?

Tbh I've not thought about that yet. I'm on holiday from 8th Jan to 20th Jan in another continent. Unsure what I'm doing next for now I'm gna let it go and see where it takes me.

I've had chemicals before and I'm in the middle of should I go through that again or just wait when we are ready for a frozen cycle with our frozen embryos so I'm just letting it go until after my holiday...

@Furbsies I think that sounds like a great idea. Try and put all of this to one side and just enjoy your holiday. Eat and drink and relax. See how you're feeling when you come home x

Hello how is everyone doing?

Hello @Popping13 all good here, thanks. I'm 28 weeks tomorrow. Time is flying. How are you doing?

Hi! I’m okay thank you. Still trying, now on month 10. Not tracking at all this cycle as I get too obsessed and upset. Pretty sure I’m in my fertile window though 🤣

How are you?

@EmCha taking a break from tracking is no harm every now and then. It's good to give yourself a mental break.

@SureLook - I was thinking of you the other week - spring is not far away at all! How are you feeling? Are you all prepared?

@EmCha a break sounds like a good idea for sure - it ends up consuming you and having the opposite effect I think.

I actually happened to have a positive test last week - I also stopped tracking, stopped prenatals and everything else. Went about my life and here we are 5weeks

@Popping13 I'm getting tired and I've got PGP which isn't fun. I'm just trying to rest where I can. I'm prepared in the sense that I have everything from my DD but it's all in the attic 😂

Oh my god, amazing. Congratulations! How are you feeling?

Oh no! That is not fun at all! One of my friends had it so I know it’s not easy!

has not quite sunk in yet. just feeling tired but no other symptoms yet.

@Popping13 hopefully you won't have any tough symptoms. Remind me of your back story again. How long had you been trying?

Just wanted to pop on to say hello as I know a lot of you won’t be in the 2026 thread! Hope you’re all doing well! 🩷

Sadly I’m still no closer to a positive and feeling like I was right all those months ago when I said I didn’t think I’d ever get pregnant. 💔 Onto month 12 now, dreading passing it as I’m then officially in the infertile category. Our fertility referral was sent off today so hopefully I can get a HSG done soon. Wish it was a happier update from me but here we are!

Congratulations! Such lovely news xx

@EmCha so lovely to hear from you. Thanks for coming back and updating us. I'm sorry to hear you still haven't had your BFP yet. That's great that you've sent off your referral. Is that private or through the NHS?

It’s through the NHS 💛

@EmCha that's good. Keep us posted on how things go. I'm really praying you get your BFP soon 🤞🏻

Hi how’s everyone doing? Can’t believe this time last year I was so so excited to start trying and here I am a year later having never seen a positive test! Heartbreaking but praying we get our turn soon.

I’d love to hear how you’re all doing! Any babies born yet? 🥰 My friend had her baby last week and he’s just perfect!

Hi @EmCha
Nice to hear from you! It’s been so nice to be part of this thread, and I remember going back and reading each post to catch up!
im sure @SureLook will have had the baby by now! How are you doing SureLook?

Hello @EmCha & @Popping13 how are you both?
Yes, our baby girl was born on the 24th of April. She is perfect and we are over the moon. Her birth came with some sadness though. We finally got the news we had been dreading about my Dad. There was nothing more that could be done for him and he couldn't have anymore treatment. I made the decision to request a slightly early induction in the hopes he would get to meet her. She was born on the Friday and he met her on the Tuesday and then he passed on Saturday. We were with him at the end and it was all very peaceful and calm.

Aww I am so glad she is here safely. Congratulations! My friend’s little boy was born on 23rd so quite a few birthdays around that time. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. It’s lovely that your Dad was able to meet your little girl. What a bittersweet time it must be for you, I’m so sorry. Sending lots of love xx

Thanks @EmCha it's a very bittersweet time indeed x
How's all with you? Have you started investigations?x

Haven’t been on MN for an age and just saw this notification. @SureLook congratulations on your wee girl! And so sorry about your dad. @EmCha i hope you’ve good news soon

Our little girl was born a week early at the end of February. Two and a half months already, which is absolutely flying. She is perfect

Hi,

Yes we are under the fertility clinic but all initial investigations at the moment. My partner needs another semen analysis in June as his morphology was only 1% when checked in Feb. His count and motility was great though so not sure if that alone would really be an issue. Hoping I can get my tubes checked as a next step but have to wait for his semen analysis results before anything else.

Ahh congratulations 🩷

@DobryWieczor aww, amazing. Congratulations! And thank you x

@EmCha it sounds like you're doing everything you can. I really hope it happens for you soon ❤️
