April 2025 TTC Support Group

[Muddysocks1]

Starting now as some of us will be in the TWW in April now ☺️

@Samsi17 congratulations! ✨

@DownWithCremeEggs congratulations! I’m pretty sure the digital weeks are more sensitive so should show for you soon 💖

Probably just a later surge this cycle! I would also say to keep testing after you get your ‘peak’ too, as last cycle you didn’t test after CD15 so it may be that you peaked after this maybe CD16. Mine usually vary a day or two. Sorry rambling hope that makes sense 😆

Here it is, I dont know if im seeing things but I swear I could see it thismorning! even more so in person X

If these are the cheap ones off Amazon the line doesn’t come up clearly, better off buying different tests!

@devma hard to tell in that pic. But you're still very early!

I’m so sorry to hear quite of a lot of yous AF have arrived 😢 sending my best wishes for your next cycles x

yeah they are! I’ve heard bad things about them too so i’ve ordered some First Response x

i’m going to try testing tomorrow and then if nothing just waiting til AF, I said I wouldnt test but I did at 7 dpo and now its so much harder to hold off😂 x

@devma it is so hard not to test. I'm really gonna try my best to wait till AF is due. But we'll see 🙈

Hi all, I’m hoping to join this thread please 🙏🏻We’re TTC baby no.1 and just started the TWW of 6th cycle trying. Is anyone else early in their TWW? Feeling pretty down that it hasn’t happened yet and trying to remind myself every day that it’s normal for this journey to take time. Currently finding it all consuming and wondering every day if something is wrong which is not a good place to be! Hoping joining this forum and talking with those on the same journey will help.
Sending lots of love to all, and a huge congratulations to those who have had their BFP this month 💞

Welcome @MoonCycle I'm early in my TWW. I think I ovulated around Thursday. I was very consumed with it last month but I'm feeling more relaxed now. It's very hard x

Hi @SureLook thanks so much for replying. Pretty sure I ovulated Thursday too! Cycle twins 🥰 Just waiting for app to confirm (think it’s waiting for another temp rise tomorrow morning) 🤞🏻
How long have you been trying? And when do you think you’ll test? Tbh I haven’t been getting around to doing pregnancy tests really as my spotting starts and I can just tell AF is going to arrive each month so far 😣 finding it really hard to relax/switch off from it all, wondering whether to try something like acupuncture next month which is meant to help with fertility and also relaxation…have you got any tips how you’ve relaxed yourself more this month?x

@MoonCycle I ran out of OPKs so I'm just guessing 😂 I don't wanna buy more until I know I need them. This is my second cycle TTC #2 after an MMC in January. I already have a two year old DD. I'm going to try and hold off until AF is due which I don't really know when that is. AF came three days early in March and my app said I was going to ovulate on Saturday. But based on the OPKs and EWCM I definitely didn't ovulate until later. Probably gonna try hold out until at least 10dpo. I may even just wait and see if AF shows.
I was gutted when I got my period in March as I conceived my first try on my previous pregnancies. So I've really tried to adjust my expectations that I was very lucky before and that may not be the case now. I think my cycles are still adjusting. I have heard great things about acupuncture x

edited photos to be able to see better i got this on a FRER at 4am this morning when I was struggling to sleep🥹 its a barely there squinter and because I cant see I flipped it over without the plastic screen🥰 11dpo so will watch line progression over the next week to make absolutely sure, if my “due date” is correct this is a christmas day baby🥹
(will upload the unedited if anyone wants to see them) x

can you not take a pic with flash or in the light it’s hard to tell. But what I can see I think the line looks too thin. Doesn’t it have to be the same thickness as the C line? I haven’t got any experience with those tests so I’m not 100%

Im going to try again in a few days, but the lighting was awful thismorning, it was pink just very faint 🩷 im hoping thats what it is x

Got a positive digital this morning! Now I can finally believe it's real 🙈 and yes I'll stop testing now as I've already spent way too much money 🤣

@DownWithCremeEggs brilliant! Agree with stepping testing now. Your sanity will thank you 😂 congratulations x

Hi everyone. Not been on these threads for a while, it isn't happening for us but we are ok. Going down a different route and feeling positive. I have these bits, see pic, and they were expensive! Would anyone like them? Seems awful to bin them. You would need to pm me your address I think.

Image under review. Some vitamins and clear blue ovulation tests

@SureLook I’m so sorry to hear about your MMC 😔 hoping and praying this is a special month for both of us 💞
@devma keep us updated! 🤞🏻
@DownWithCremeEggs congratulations! That is absolutely amazing news 🥰
Hi @Pineappleapple, I’m fully stocked on tests and vits 🙈 though thank you so much for offering xx

@Pineappleapple I’d love these if possible, I would happily pay for postage etc ❤️❤️

Congratulations! I did another (last one also!) CB this morning, as couldn't quite believe it and it also said 1-2 weeks, so we are the same! Looks like due around 20 Dec!!

Feeling far less hopeful today, was very nauseous yesterday, sore🍈 , full
feeling in my uterus, im exhausted and so bloated.

I've been having some cramping that feels a little like a period coming so i'm wondering if that is what i'm feeling off for or if the tests are picking something up

Took another frer at about 4.30 thismorning because i'm struggling to sleep and whilst the line is ever so slightly more obvious and shows up on inverted (which i've since been informed means it does have a tiny bit of colour- its hard to tell that sort of thing from how faint the line is)
i'm just not convinced, im 12dpo today and I feel like it should be darker than what i've seen today, my periods due in Wednesday/Thursday so if its not here by the end of the week then I think i'll check again but i'm exhausted with the emotional yoyoing and i'm going to count myself out this time around for my own sanity.

Will post the test I did thismorning (original and inverted) just for second opinions from you guys

how is everyone else? X

I think if you are continuing to get lines on different tests then I’d take it as a positive maybe ? But they do say test every 48 hours as the hcg level rises. Can you not try a different brand and see if a line appears on them ones?
