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…

Morning everyone. No line progression for me! I thought this might be the case this morning. It’s been 48 hours and 13dpo now, I’d expect to see a stronger line. If anything I think it’s fading. Will expect AF to come over the weekend. And to try again next month! 😩 this is the thing with early testing and why I tell myself NOT to do it but here we are 🙄

Oh no @jelliebean9fingers crossed AF doesn’t show for you - sending lots of love xx

Thanks lovely. I’m weirdly at peace with it. We’ve been trying since January, which is nothing compared to others. We have a beautiful DS, who I’m extremely thankful for as an endo sufferer and although I would love for a second, we have it in the back of our minds it may not happen. Have to be hopeful though of course 🩷🙏 how are you this morning?

Sorry @jelliebean9 do you want to post your tests so we can have a look? You may be being over analytical!

@jelliebean9I understand - I’ve got my DS from a previous relationship so if this doesn’t happen with my new partner then it’s ‘fine’ and I’m very lucky to have him but you also can’t help but hope you’ll be the lucky one! (I don’t have endo but I’m ‘old’) - fingers crossed for you

Onto cycle #4 today as AF arrived this morning. Best wishes to those still in their TWW 🤞

@jelliebean9 I second posting your photos if you feel OK with that. I know it feels better to resign yourself and then be surprised, but I’m rooting for you.

My lines are stronger today but not wildly so. If you like I can post them and you can compare? I don’t want to do that if it’ll cause you more stress though x

Morning @jelliebean9really sorry to hear that. The anxiety of testing again and not seeing the line progression is just awful isn't it. I remember when I did the clear blue digital weeks and mine didn't go up as it should. I hope everything turns out okay for you 🤍 but you seem pretty level headed about it. I'm 10dpo today and BFN and really feel like it's not my month again. It always feels gutting but a little sense of relief to havw a few more weeks without the daily anxiety of testing and worrying about line progression, another miscarriage etc etc. It's really all consuming. Wishing you all the best anyway and will keep positive for you x

It’s absolutely fine with me. You’re so considerate and lovely for asking. Love this group and how supportive everyone is! I’ll take a photo in a minute but I don’t think I’ll even be able to catch the line on today’s on camera. I did drink 3L of water yesterday so I don’t know if hydration from previous day is still a thing when it’s tests before your period is due.

You can see how faint and grey it is now! It’s definitely a CP!

It is pink actually in person. But it’s wayyyy too faint for 13dpo with a stronger line at 11- unfortunately!

Oh @jelliebean9 im sorry to hear that 😔

Oh @jelliebean9 I am sorry. I hope it’s just a case of dilute urine but I do know what you mean re lines fading.

I do think it’s positive that you conceived though. Things are working, it’s just not every egg or sperm is great quality. I think it bodes well for conceiving number 2 though. Keep us posted. ❤️

@jelliebean9im really sorry to hear that, i had a chemical in January, my lines weren’t getting darker and i lost all my symptoms. Praying you get your positive one day 🫶🏼
My dinner did not stay down in the end, at 3am I got woken up by the sickness and went sick for a good 10 minutes repeatedly. I have now woken up early because the sickness has returned along with some cramping due to constipation and trapped wind. Will wait for the Dr to be open because this sickness is absolutely crippling, I can’t even enjoy food anymore, and I dread to eat because I know it’ll come back up. Hoping everyone has a positive day and all look after yourselves xxx

So glad you’re getting to the Docs today. It def sounds like HG. Hope you get on the meds to feel better soon!

Thank you all for your kind words everyone. Hoping lots of you get your BFPs this month. To anyone else in the same situation as me, I’ll see you in the June TTC threads 🩷

@jelliebean9 this is heartbreaking! sending you lots of hugs!!!!!! ❤

So sorry to read your posts today, sending lots of love your way ♥️

Sending lots of love @jelliebean9

@hopingfor4 sorry to hear AF has arrived ❤️

@jelliebean9 I'm so sorry. As @FigPig said, it's great that you conceived. Sending big hugs ❤️

You might have a chance soon anyway, I had a chemical last cycle and ovulated on day 15 (counting start of chemical bleeding as day 1) which was right on time for me. Look after yourself and take it easy ❤️ xx

Morning all. Took these ovulation tests just now (both at the same time). I'm on cycle day 13. Positive?

@DownWithCremeEggs I know I would be babydancing 😍

@jelliebean9 I'm so sorry. I had exactly the same last month. Wishing you baby dust 🥰

@jelliebean9so sorry hope youre okay, you are more fertile after a chemical so wishing you lots of baby dust on the next cycle xx
