April 2025 TTC Support Group

[Muddysocks1]

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

No advice just sympathy xx I suppose knowing that all early pregnancy symptoms can just as easily be PMS symptoms can help temper expectations. Not that it worked that well for me today staring at a blank test trying to wish a line into existence 🥲

@peanutForever thank you 😊 I feel a bit better now thanks to you comment. I was ready to cry.

Thank you for your lovely message. I was away and I hear jet lag can knock your cycle so trying to rationalise it with that. Oh goodness I know the feeling I did exactly this the other day. Praying you get that BFP ♥️ xxx

@Wednesdayonline Oh staring at a test wishing it had a 2nd line sounds so familiar 😞 Sometimes I walk to a different part of the house with the test, just to see if there maybe a very faint 2nd line if I stand next to a window. Praying for you to get your 2 lines very soon 🤞

@MayaB me too, checking it in every lighting possible even when it's clearly blank 😂 fingers crossed for us all this cycle!

Update from me 😊 Today 7am - Flashing Smiley ➡️ 11am - Solid Smiley, it goes so fast! DTD yesterday and will today, tomorrow and the day after that. Will start to test 1 April so if it’s BFN it’s just a joke 🤓

Woo woo 🙌 Keeping everything crossed for you, @BerrieSweet!
I had my possitive ovulation test today (if I am reading it correctly). Not sure how long it has been positive for but hubby went for 3 days work trip very early this morning. I hope we have done enough, the last time we DTD was yesterday lunch. I am trying not to stress because there is nothing else I can do right now. 😞

@MayaB I think you will be ok! You will probably ovulate in the next day or so, and dtd a day or two before ovulation is ideal!

iiieh!! Don’t worry, the egg will release soon and the sperm from yesterdays BD is there waiting ☺️🫶🏼 Cycle twins 👯‍♀️

I wish everyone on this thread good luck. Someone I know is also going through the ups and downs of what you are, it brings me back to when I was.

My temp went up today so my egg was released yesterday and I’m officially in the TWW and 1 DPO ☺️ Best feeling ever, I like that I can’t do anything more now, instead of forcing BD and wondering if you had your legs up in the air for a good amount of time. Going to join the beetroot-juice-club at 4 DPO✌🏼How’s everyone else doing? Fingers and toes crossed for us this month 🥹

Hi 😊
id love to join this group.
we have a 4 yro and wanting to TTC this month so we have a 2nd child for our May 2026 wedding. I suffer from mittleshmerz and pregnancy first time around happened instantly. Now I’m 42 I’m and we have been TTC for 5 month, slightly getting more anxious. Also been trying to discuss my BD on getting fertility health check - anyone else in that discussion with theirs?

Aww, I get you! I’ve discussed that with my partner as well, and he’s totally on board to do it if we don’t get pregnant this month. We’re already in the queue for a fertility investigation to check us both. I really get that it feels like forever if you got pregnant on your first try with your first and the worry is totally normal, I get that as well even if I’m only on my 4th month trying. You see everyone else get pregnant except you, and not many are open about how long they tried for (which is totally reasonable).

Good luck ❤️

Morning all 😊 hopping over from the march thread. 10dpo but BFN test this morning and a drop in BBT.

I'm hoping AF doesn't arrive for a couple days as my luteal phases have been short and I've had a session of acupuncture. I have another on the 12th to see if we can balance my cycle out a bit 🤞

Aw thanks @BerrieSweet are you doing your fertility investigation privately? If so who gave you gone with? Yes I must confess I have been guilty of fabricating how long I’ve been TTC - mostly down to denial. But this is the forum to keep positive. So my fingers are all crossed for everyone.
anyway, I’m starting here on day 3 of my AF. And due my ovulation pain on 3rd April 😊 cycle 6.

I've just googled beetroot juice @BerrieSweet, I had no idea! Going to add beetroot and pomegranate to my diet this month.

What other easy fertility improvements does everyone do?

I live in Sweden so maybe I’m not the best one to answer 🥲 either we can do it private and pay for ourselves but skip queue, or we get it for free but you need to wait in queue. The queue is like 6 months ish where I live so we’ve signed up for that 😊 I have my fingers crossed so so so hard for you and everyone else in this thread! Imagine if we all got a BFP this month together 🤭🤞🏼

heheh I also didn’t know about it before the mars thread, you learn so much in these forums!🫶🏼

@Wednesdayonline and @BerrieSweet
thank you girls.❤️ I have the worst flu atm and I am completely wiped out. Don't know if I will have any luck this month 😪 but lets* *see...

Regarding the investigations I had mine done privately but no issues found. Husband had bloods done and all good but we are waiting for semen analysis appointment now (through the GP).
I have joined the IVF UK support group just in case and the ladies there drink pomegranate begore ovulation and beetroot after. When do you girls drink yours? I will try anything. Also, 2 Brazil nuts a day is supposed to help implantation.

I hadn't heard about the pomegranate so will look into that one 😊

I've been juicing myself, after finding an article I have a ginger, beetroot and watermelon juice each morning after ovulation @MayaB

I think the pomegranate is more for the lining while the beetroot helps implantation 😊 You are amazing doing your own juicing and that is the best things to do. I am lazy and I buy this one - it's beets plus ginger.

Oooh that will be good on my lazy mornings! I'll have to get some of that 😊

@MayaB where do you buy that from?

I need help, my ovulation decided to be weird 🥲 Do you think I’ve ovulated or will I ovulate today? I’m on CD 14 today.

CD 11 (BD): Flashing smiley
CD 12 (BD): Flashing Smiley and Solid Smiley
CD 13: BBT rise 0,2 degrees, no smiley
CD 14 (BD): Temp back to before, Smiley again
