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…

It's my 3rd cycle tracking bbt and I still feel like i question every temp 🤦‍♀️. I think I might stop tracking everything next month, I think it just adds stress!

I get that! First time I got pregnant I stopped tacking and bam!

Just catching up on the thread and lovely to see so many BFPs, congratulations ladies 🥰

I’m on to cycle 6 of TTC now as AF arrived yesterday. Really want to give it my all this month so will be avoiding alcohol completely, drinking more water, taking extra vitamins and using Proceive.

If no luck this month then I guess it’s off to the doctors as I’m over 35 now.

I think it’s def worth a shot. This is essentially what I did this month because I’m sure overthinking was making my body rebel and I was getting into a headspace I didn’t like for myself. Worked for me this month so far 🙏 as long as things progress 🙏

Just got a peak ovulation test, is anyone else waiting to ovulate for this cycle?

@Nyxxie I haven't experienced this cause I don't take them myself but I've heard a lot of negative things about Proceive. A lot of women saying it made their cycles longer and messed them up. Just an FYI x

Evening ladies, I am now 6DPO and I told myself I would wait until next Monday to do ONE test but it is so hard not to think about testing tomorrow morning!

Hope you all get the results you are after this month xxx

@SureLookproceive? I thought it was pregnacare that everyone moaned about messing up their cycles?

Oh sorry @FlyHighSky72 you're right! I got mixed up! @Nyxxie ignore my previous comment 🙈

Phew @SureLook!! Was worried there - although I’ve been taking Proceive max since January (just to prep my body - as this is my first month off contraception) and was worried then!!

Sorry for scaring you @FlyHighSky72 😂

No worries!! I’m mainly teasing - just wanted to check lols 😂 😆

I should have specified I was talking about the Proceive lube rather than the supplements.. so no worries either way 😳😂😂

@Nyxxie after all that unnecessary worrying 😂😂😂 sounds like you're well prepared this month. I got Conceive Plus lube this month. Thought it was no harm but €22 a bottle 🫠

@SureLookand @Nyxxiehaha! I tried conceive plus lube this month….we shall see as I’m only 1 dpo here! Will wait until 10 dpo to do any testing. Fingers crossed

@FlyHighSky72 whenever we do get our BFPs will it be cause of all the extra things we're doing or will it just be cause that was just our month. Hard to know!

@FlyHighSky72 fingers crossed for you!

@SureLook so true, but it at least helps to feel like we’re doing something/have some kind of control over the whole process!

@Nyxxie that's a big part of it for me, feeling like I have no control. Which ultimately I don't! But if buying expensive lube makes me feel better then I'll take it 😂

This is so true!

however I started baby aspirin and using pre-seed and then got my first bfp after 12 cycles so I really do think they did something! I just don’t know which so ill keep doing both 🙈

I’ve read really conflicting things about baby aspirin until 12 weeks @Muddysocks1- I bought some and was going to take it and then read a load of stuff about it stopping implantation which confused me! Might try it next cycle if this one ‘passes me by’

@BGxxxI am as only CD6 so not due to ovulate until next week. Think I’ll be one of the last on this thread for this month.

@ttcjourney20001this sounds awful. Hoping the doctors can give you something to help

Ooh, I thought it aided implantation!! I have really light periods though and suspect thin lining is an issue which it’s recommended for (I think!)

I’m 7DPO and don’t feel anything yet at all, last cycle I noticed I was peeing way more 7/8dpo but then didn’t get any other symptoms for a couple of days. I just feel like this cycle won’t be the one!

I’ve also just booked my first acupuncture session! I know it’s a bit controversial, but I believe the fertility acupuncturists do a lot more than just the needles, can help work out which other investigations to do and lifestyle/diet/supplement advice etc. Seems people have had success with lining issues with acupuncture 🤞🏻

I might be wrong @Muddysocks1ill see if I can find what I was reading!
