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…

@Mummysparrow looks psoitive to me I would test again later to confirm! fingers crossed! ❤

I don't dare to hope @Ec2808 I will have to check on a FRER when I get home

@Mummysparrow please let us know how you get on...fingers crossed!

I just had a short stingy feeling lower left side [anybody ever experience this around 9DPO]
I can't take this anymore 😫

Hey my lovely.. unfortunately I think this is an evap line as its very thin. But fingers crossed it's not x

I’m 9DPO but feel AF is coming the last two days. Woke up this morning and nothing yet. It’s so confusing isn’t it? When is AF due for you?

If anybody is finding this thread a little quieter we’ve migrated over to the May 2025 TTC support group 2. @Muddysocks1 made a new one over there as wasn’t sure if this would close after a certain number of comments 🤍

This may be a evap but you never know 🥰 do another one when you get home and let us know hun

@Iris2024af is due around Saturday not exactly sure sometimes i have shorter cycles…😩😩 it’s soo confusing exactly 😔😔

Mine are all over the place and especially lately. They’ve sometimes been 24 days but range from 24-28. I’m CD26 today. Got period belly again tonight like last night. Don’t want it to be AF ☹️

The FRER is negative so clearly was an evap line which is mean but doesn't mean I am out as I am only 8dpo

I don’t use clearblue anymore, so bad for evaps or false positives. From my experience anyway. Sending loads of baby dust, also you’re right, you’re only 8dpo so you’re still in the game!! xx

@Iris2024same mine range from 24-29 soo weird…just chemical cycle lasted to 32…sooo annoying !!!

@Mummysparrowdeff not out! I keep trying to tell myself the same although 9dpo 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anniversary is tomorrow still no real line just shadows 😩😩😩

So, beginning of month was due on, and felt a possible catch, but AF arrived. As you can see it only lasted 3_4 days. Not my usual.
Now I'm due to ovulate this week.

Orange dot _ 10th may
Blue dot _ 11th may
Single photo test _ today

Would you say I've already had my peak and the app is a few days off???

Ooooor I have heard you can show to ovulate on a dye test. But people have blood tests done and they don't actually ovulate untill like three days later or something.

I feel kinda ovulatory atm.

Just feel like those tests are so pale still I find it hard to believe I've had my peak already but then why would today's be so pale again and not creeping up more?

Any thoughts ladies

@YKM2829i am by no means an expert, but when did you test on the 11th?
it looks like this was your surge but may have needed more tests within a few hours to confirm?

@YKM2829it really depends cos ive heard 24-36hours after a surge so would make sense 3 days later! I would just try and cover yourself every 2-3 days and hopefully that will do the trick? I feel like you havent had your peak yet tho as the tests should be darker and could be a urine dilution thing causing it to be pale

Agghh, I ran out of OPKs on Friday (CD16), was getting readings of 0.35, so was hoping ovulation was approaching. I had a BBT of 36.78 on Sunday. Hurrah, I thought, maybe that was correct, but today it's dropped back down to 36.43, so I'm wondering whether Sunday's BBT was just weather and/or drink related. I found my new pack of OPKs today (had missed them when they arrived on Saturday) and it's back down to 0.12. So no idea, and just hoping ovulation happened on Saturday or Sunday (and today's bbt was a random blip), as I don't think we can keep this up much longer.

To make things even more fun, I went along to a smear appointment today, which was at quite an awkward time (an hour before the school run when I had a few other things I wanted to do before pick up), only to be told it was too soon following my MC 😩. So I have rearranged once again, fervently hoping I'll be forced to postpone. I have no problem with smear tests but I'd much rather be pregnant again!

Gals this thread is going to be full soon! @Muddysocks1 has set up a new group.
