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…

@Katfluff21 it could very well be implantation then!

I’m trying really hard to catch up on what’s going on but I missed so much 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

if I remember rightly we’re about to need a second thread!
@ttcjourney20001this sounds more severe than your average “morning sickness” they will tell you to try ginger biscuits/tea. It might help - or not. Hopefully if you’ve got a good midwife she will be supportive though. I still have my midwife’s number from DC1 - contacted her immediately and directly with DC2 and if we catch I will contact her immediately with a new baby. She was aces and a real voice in my corner. How is DP with it?
@Muddysocks1and @Ec2808- I think I see something on both.
Musdysocks1- might be worth having a role call if we do need another one.

can anyone tracking LH this month send me a picture of their strips together ?
I think I did this with DC1(6) but I had a smiley one and have moved house twice since then - so fuck knows what’s happened to it.

@Bas27this is mine

Good idea!! How many pages do we get until we need a new thread? 🙈

@FlyHighSky72 interesting - thank you! Do you know why it drops so fast 🧐 I thought it was supposed to indicate ovulation within 24-36 hours?

@Bas27 here you go!

@Muddysocks1i don’t think it will let you go over 999 comments (unless I’m remembering wrong)

@SureLookthank you! Yours did a huge jump suddenly compared to @FlyHighSky72so maybe I can’t predict 🤷🏻‍♀️ mine is definitely rising slowly. Just trying to predict what’s next 😬

@Bas27here’s mine a d omg you guys i have to post a second one waaaaait for it i’m freaking out here 🤣🤣🤣

Just took these now and i’m supposed to be only 5-6dpo…. Am I insane or is there a vvvvvfl on this one????🥹🥹🥹🥹

@Bas27 I know! And I only caught the peak cause it was the weekend. I can't test twice daily in work. This is my first month properly tracking so it was a bit of trial and error.

I read an interesting study - 75% of women in it had actually already ovulated by the time they got their peak

So from what I have been told from other lovely helpful people on here and google 😆 is that its the before peak that is just as important if not more!

@Ec2808 I see it 🥰🤞

@Ec2808i see it!!!!!! That looks like a BFP to me! Any chance you ovulated earlier?

@SureLook I’ve been testing before I go to work and when I come back… is there a set time you’re supposed to do it?

@ThisZippyViewerwow that’s crazy! Was it a big study?
Mine is definitely going up now so I’m keeping an eye on it 😬😬

@Bas27thats why i’m freaking out based on my lh tests i ovulated on the 2/95 or the 3/05 plus my temps have been really messed up so even thiught i didn’t ovulate this month 🥹🥹🥹🥹

@Bas27 I will see if I can find it for you!

have you shared an image of your tests before day 14? Have a look back and see if you can see when it starts to rise - that is apparently the key!

@Bas27 sorry just realised they were @Ec2808 tests 🤣 and you hadnt posted yours! X

@Bas27 not FMU anyway cause the LH surge starts in the early morning so may not show until late morning or late afternoon. I was testing when I got home from work around 4:30pm or so. But at the weekend I did around 11ish as well. I also held my urine as long as I could and drank nothing or very little. My peak was a four hour hold with no liquids.

@Ec2808 I think I can see it when I don't actually click into the picture. Amazing!

@SureLookreally? Thought i was going crazy here…🥹🥹🥹

@Ec2808I think I can see something. Hopefully it’s the start of your bfp!

I am currently CD12 and have been testing using the CB digital ovulation since CD9 and today I got a smiley face. However I finally received my LH strips and did a test this evening and this is what it looks like which is so high for me at CD12, because I tend to ovulate a lot later in my cycle and it’s never this strong at CD12. So not sure what’s going on but assume I might ovulate earlier. Better get the hubby involved now to play his part☺️

@Renee33really do you think so?? I tested on a whim but wasn’t expecting much now i’m just in total shock 🥹

Forgot to add the pic

@Ec2808 keep testing and update us tomorrow!

@Renee33 definitely going in the right direction. I'd say you will ovulate soon. I would definitely DTD tonight and test twice a day from tomorrow if you can.

@Renee33looks very close i would be bd’ing 😍
@SureLooki will 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
