TTC May 2025

[Flowersflowers121]

Anyone else out for April, and starting to plan for May?!

We're trying for #2 :)

When do you normally get your peak? Sending lots of luck to you this cycle!

My OPK is low at the moment but I usually get my peak around CD17/18, I’m hoping acupuncture will bring it forward by a day or so to sort out my short luteal phase.
My BBT is up and down but does rise after I get my peak and stays higher after so that’s something - I’m not sure if it’s high enough for what it needs to be though!

@daisy2025 I am using OPKs but it’s all new to me. My results seem low and when I tested today, I expected it to be higher than the last few days, but it was lower!! Maybe that is normal? Hoping to see an increase tomorrow! I have started tracking BBT also but need to do more reading up on that. Not sure what I should be looking out for! Do try to stay positive, although I have no doubt it’s tough at times! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

@SY2007@Flowersflowers121- I know, I usually love any kind of data for everything, I live my life with a spreadsheet organising everything but when the 3 apps are different it's wild! I'm either 3, 4 or 5 DPO 🙈 my gut is telling me Thurs was O day so I'm 4DPO, purely cause I had quite bad ovulation pain and felt a bit nauseous with it Thursday evening, but maybe that means it was actually Friday?!

@PurpleOrchids12345I stopped testing LH but tracking BBT, it's gone up slightly and staying up, but know that could mean either way!

@daisy2025 ovulation day was CD12 last cycle but it has been all over the place so who knows when I will peak this cycle! This is only the second cycle where I’m keeping a track of BBT and it’s really helpful.

@A2025 im also many months in TTC and it’s been an emotional roller coaster!

sending baby dust to us all !

@NavigatingLife its good that your bbt is up- fingers crossed it stays up! I’ve had very very confusing opk with different apps telling me different things- hubby wasn’t impressed by the number of times I’ve ask him to BD!

Guys, what is going on with my BBT numbers :( haha not looking good for a BFP, right? I was hoping it was a dip, but seems to just be staying low now haha

Such bad cramps today, ladies! 8dpo - AF not due till Sunday but this has been such a weird cycle, wondering if she's on her way

How’s everyone doing? Looks like I had my peak this morning so tomorrow should be ovulation? That’s the date the app had predicted if a regular cycle. Hoping this is a sign that I’m straight back into regular cycles after some years on the pill.

@Flowersflowers121 Wishing you good luck!

Ooooh, that's good! Has come around quickly haha xxx

Ladies what is your verdict. 11DPO and FMU I tested and I thought I could see the faintest line but then decided I had line eyes as in certain lights I couldn’t see it. I’ve checked the same test hours later and can see the faintest of faintest of faintest lines. Can anyone else see this or am I insane? 😂

it’s obviously way out of test time limit and also I just took another test with diluted wee and can’t see a line although I keep convincing myself there was the faintest line in the world.

If you can see the line in the pic- I’m guessing it’s probably a discard situation/ evap as the test just now was 100% negative but wanted to hear thoughts!

@SY2007 I do actually see what you're seeing! 👀

@Flowersflowers121 im glad im not crazy 😂 but tbh I don’t feel any hope as it was so far out of the testing time and also the one I did an hour ago was fully negative

I remember when I thought I was pregnant with my first I saw a negative in time limit and then checked again hours later and there was a faint line and I was pregnant in the end but I think that may have been a fluke

@SY2007 yeah we lose all rationale at this time of the month don't we haha just hoping and hoping. Let us know how you get on in the morning when you test again :)

@Flowersflowers121 we really do! Plus I have been having cramps exactly like my usual PMS symptoms so that’s not a good sign

how are you feeling?

@SY2007 ahhh okay, well fingers crossed for you anyway!! I'm doing okay thanks. Feeling pretty under the weather today though - want to go to bed already hahaha

@Flowersflowers121 your bbt is being crazy this cycle, are you ill🤣

@SY2007 i think I can see it too! I found those tests really not sensitive at all

@BGxxx yeah I’ve seen very mixed reviews on them and that they also are prone to faint lines and false positives!

@BGxxx hahaha for real. I do feel really ill today so that probably explains it. It shot right up today though to 37. I think I'm giving up any hope this cycle hahaha how are you doing?

@SY2007 i can definitely see a line! Have you tested again today?

@A2025 is today ovulation day?

@Flowersflowers121 how are you getting on in your cycle?

@PurpleOrchids12345 yes BFN on 2 cheapies this morning so don’t think it’s our month as I’m 12DPO!

I’ve had a few cramps here & there & exhausted just how I am with PMS so faced the facts. But it’s only our first month trying and also we’re off to Portugal in a couple weeks with family which will include a lot of Vino so I’m happy to be able to participate in said Vino! 😂

I’m CD15 today but lh strips are still low.. I’ve had 2 sessions of acupuncture the last 2 weeks and really thought that would magically make me ovulate sooner this cycle 🙃😅 hoping for a shift in a day at least but we’ll see

@daisy2025when do you normally ovulate? Hopefully it will come quickly for you!

I'm 7(ish?) DPO.. symptom spotting like crazy of course. Really quite dizzy and getting shortness of breath just sitting at my desk at work - which could be work stress or else the more I think about my breath the worse it gets! Definitely feel more tired than usual the last few days... but equally had a busy week. Don't know how long to hold out on testing!

@SY2007 awwh nevermind! That holiday sounds amazing though - thoroughly jealous haha enjoy yourself!!

@PurpleOrchids12345 helloooo :) I'm 9dpo today but am waiting to test until tomorrow. Have been feeling unwell. Last night had proper achey flu like symptoms all over but with massive period like cramps for hours. Went to bed at 8:30 hahaha still feeling bloated and a bit strange but not crampy anymore

@daisy2025 oooh keep us posted if you notice a peak :)

@NavigatingLife let us know when you decide to test haha it's always a battle between not wanting to be disappointed but needing to know isn't it hahaha
