May 2025 TTC Support Group

Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

So 5 dpo (Saturday) we DTD, nothing crazy but afterward i was bleeding (pink blood for about a minute or two) and ever since then my uterus feels super heavy and crampy.

I’m 7dpo today (monday) so ive got ages til I test, and honestly I feel like I don’t want to because I already know this month isnt the one😩 the bleeding and the sensations have put me right in the mindset that I categorically don’t believe anything has happened this month 😓

Ahhh 🥰 wonderful news!

Yeah this is the early response first response ones! It’s 10dpo, period would be due Thursday or Friday! I’ll be tentatively happy for now, I’ll rest on Thursday with the second first response and see how the line progression is! Thank you 🩷

@peanutForever exciting!

@jelliebean9 I can definitely see a line but no colour. I know you said you can see colour in person. The camera isn't great at picking up these things sometimes. It would be definitely normal to be that faint at this stage though. Will you test again tomorrow morning?

@jelliebean9 sorry, I posted my reply before your second picture. I would say that's definitely positive. Congratulations ❤️

@devma would you normally have a bit of spotting in your cycle? It's so hard to know what's going on sometimes.

Exciting @jelliebean9i can def see that line

I can definitely see a faint line..how exciting!!!

Those who aren’t tracking BBT - do you consider ovulation day day after peak - so if my peak was Thurs am I 3dpo today? X

@ThisZippyViewer I'm interested in this also! My peak was yesterday evening! Is ovulation today (roughly), so 1dpo tomorrow?

Aww 🥰 I see it!! Congratulations xx

@ThisZippyViewer @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I asked this a few months ago - unanimous response was OD is day after peak, then next day is 1DPO.

@jelliebean9 congratulations!

No not usually, I think this is the first time ive ever bled after DTD, so exhausting going round in circles 😩 I guess i’ve just got to sit this week out and pretend nothings happening until I can check, though i’m not expecting a positive x

I second this, with fair warning

i hope it is positive for you @jelliebean9but I had one that looked incredibly similar to this last month and it turned out to be a false positive and they’re supposedly notorious for it, double check again in a few days but i’ve got my fingers crossed for you🤞🏼❤️

Thanks for the advice lovely. I def think it’s taking everything with a pinch of salt this early! I will be cautiously optimistic until my missed period at the end of the week 🥰

@FlyHighSky72 don’t like how it makes my wee look acidic yellow 🤮

@Renee33sorry can’t see my original comment - are you talking about Proceive?

i can definitely see that, don’t think it’s an evap either, congratulations let’s hope it’s good news xxxx

on another note though ladies, my nausea is a force to be reckoned with, as soon as I open my eyes the sickness is ready for me, stays with me all day. It’s becoming tedious now

@ThisZippyViewer @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate both my apps are saying my peak was yesterday and ovulation day is today. So tomorrow is 1dpo.

Sorry @devma it's just a waiting game at this point x

@ttcjourney20001 hopefully the nausea won't last too long x

Finally all caught up 😊 congrats to all who have got their BFPs 🥳, hope we have more in this group as the weeks go by! Currently CD9 so will start tracking my LH from tomorrow. I have both the clearblue digital and LH sticks. Should be heading into my fertile week in the next 5 days, so excited to get this week over and done with, glad it’s a very short working week for me.

I have no idea, it hasn’t done this on my previous rounds though. I’ve been on it a while now :(

Congratulations!!

@jelliebean9 eeekkkk I see it - Congratulations 🙌🏽

@SureLook exactly! I’m tracking LH and it’s hard trying to them him that there’s a short window. He thinks it takes once and can be at anytime in the month. I’m like noooooo!!!! It’s so hard not to get sh*y with him. We only managed twice in my fertile window.

Also my first month tracking BBT, can anyone tell me if this is ‘right’ after ovulation?

congratulations to those either BFP, I see them!
