May 2025 TTC Support Group

[Muddysocks1]

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…

Went to the toilet 3 times last night, have now woken up with sore boobs, headache and of course, the top contender, nausea. I hit the 6wks mark tomorrow though. Last full day in Spain today, boyfriend and FIL are going jet skiing in Fuengirola, so I’m just trying to plan ahead and see if there’ll be any toilets on hand for me to ruin 💀

I found the easy@home strips and premom app quite easy to use too!

I caved and tested at 11dpo and got the faintest squinter which is almost certainly an indent. Waiting when there's a glimmer of actual hope is so much worse than just not knowing I find!

Looks really great progression, hope you're feeling better today!

It is driving me crazy feeling like a mad scientist conducting bloody tests every day 🙃 I woke up at 3am for a wee (which is new for me) and did a test half asleep 😅 will add my progression pic!

How many days DPO are you, and @jelliebean9? We're all so close! I have a couple of digital week indicators arriving today. Will try and hold off til the end of the week to test with the first one.

Good morning 🙏

Forgot how difficult this process is. Will need to check in regularly just for emotional support

Hi everyone, evening sickness has now also turned into morning sickness, so it’s all day now. Can’t even keep water down, not hungry, thought of food makes me want to go sick, smells really trigger it too, anything like garlic or onions - not even sure this sickness is normal at this point

If you can't keep water down, it may be worth speaking to a doctor when you're home? Could be hyperemesis gravidarum.

I did the weeks indicator today because I am just pathologically impatient and I got 1-2. Am I right in thinking that in about a week it will hopefully go to 2-3? I’m 11dpo now :)

@Emilym1609 Your lines are great! I said to DP I feel like a scientist doing my test and he (an actual scientist) was like 🤨 OK dear.

@jelliebean9 yes, my first!

@ttcjourney20001 I think you should go to the doctor and ask for Xonvea. There’s no point feeling like this when there are drugs to help. You poor poor thing.

Def agree with others. This sounds like HG to me! If you’re back from your holiday shortly then I’d try and get into the docs asap 😔 hope you’re ok x

This is amazing progress too! I’m 11dpo today. Literally same trajectory as @FigPig!! Was your 12dpo today? One day ahead! Praying for us all to have sticky ones 🙏🙏🙏

I think that’s right. I’m sure I read on here that 1-2 weeks means 1-2 weeks after conception? So 2 weeks would be when your period is due. So the week after that would show as 2-3? 😅 I think 🤣

I’m gonna wait until Thursday 13dpo to test again to see the progression and then try and wait until Sunday 16dpo to do the clear blue ones, cos they really make me nervous after all the posts on here 😬 let’s see how my willpower holds up 😂

I’m going to do the same thing! No point testing every day now. Hopefully even stronger lines on Thursday for both of us!

@FlyHighSky72 and @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate and @SureLook AND @Ec2808 ☺️ Well look at that, we are a cycle group. I ovulated on the weekend and AF showing as 16th but I’ve been coming on earlier lately.

@Muddysocks1 and @jelliebean9 you've made me feel so much better as we only managed 4 days before ovulation and peak this month.

I’m 3DPO today, nothing to report just sore boobs. I’m so so nervous to test when it’s time!

@Iris2024 i know amazing soo glad we have this group to communicate and make the tww a little bit more bearable 😂
I'm a little bit confused now really not sure what dpo i am..based on my temp and lh tests but noticed very white creamy cm sorry tmi 😂and very frequent urination which is very bizarr because implantation likely hasn't even occured yet...

Hi ladies! Been doing some serious lurking on here 🤣 it's great to see so many positives coming through! And sorry to those who are finding it hard ❤️

I'm on cycle day 22, and managed to BD both days before ovulation and on ovulation day, and will start testing this Friday and go from there! Due on AF on the 14th.

Good luck to everyone!

@ttcjourney20001your sickness sounds so awful. I hope you get some help once you're settled back home, and things start to ease off 🤞🏼x

Yay @FigPig@jelliebean9and @Emilym1609congrats!! Lines looking great and so exciting to see it on the digital!!

Good luck @Iris2024are those usual symptoms before AF for you? I’m 1DPO and absolutely nothing - feeling nervous and a bit weepy but pretty sure that’s just me feeling old and unlucky/unlikely to conceive

@Katfluff21 Thanks ! good luck to you too 😊

@ttcjourney20001sorry to hear you’re feeling so poorly - def agree with the other that it doesn’t sound normal - imagine if you were trying to work - def need something imo!!

Think I will ask for some sort of medication or something, I managed to eat breakfast but on the way to the train station I said to Jack (other half) I feel sick and as soon as I said it I felt it come up, but the toilets at the station are out of order, had to hold it in. Currently sat on a very hot train trying not to go sick everywhere 😓

Awwww I know, I don’t know what I would do without this group and it’s a comfort that will all be doing tests together. Always feel like I’ll be left behind though and not get those likes 🥹

I do get sore boobs but usually right before my period I think. AF due the 16th, I’m only 3DPO though so I’m pretty sure it’s hormone related.

Im the same as you, I’m so worried that I won’t be able to conceive again and it’s making me really sad 😔

So glad of this group though - not that I want you to be feeling the same as me obv @Iris2024!! My DS is 9 and with a different dad so who knows if I’ll conceive now given I’m older and different dad! How old is yours? Feeling very unlikely here

My daughter is 6, we conceived her when I was 34 and we are now 41 😩 We tried for 6 months last year then stopped as a holiday coming up and now this is cycle 2 of trying again.

4dpo today and for some reason feeling a bit deflated about this month
My ovulation was delayed so I think likely because of that I feel like im definitely out and its all been a bit dragged out
What day does everyone start testing? I had told myself 10dpo is that still too early? X
