May 2025 TTC Support Thread

[KSmith94]

Here's the May thread, good luck ladies 🥰

@LCA07 welcome! I'm the same, trying not to symptom spot so as to keep the disappointment to a minimum.

@DownWithCremeEggs I would say it's gotten darker but the line isn't dark consistently. I don't know if that matters as much with OPKs though. Either way, time to BD cause I'd say ovulation is imminent!

@SureLook thanks, that's what's confusing me! Like half the line is darker than the control but half isn't? Odd 😆

@DownWithCremeEggs yeah, odd alright. I'd keep testing anyway, just to confirm.

@DownWithCremeEggslooks good tho

so thanks for those who can see, done two more test and two more faint lines,
will keep testing

Very late in the day to be testing but will test in a couple days to make sure

how many dpo are you? these are looking good!!

Ooooh looks good @cannynotsay

Ooo exciting @cannynotsay

Ooo exciting @cannynotsay

Ooo exciting @cannynotsay

12 dpo and “due on” this weekend

@cannynotsay test again tomorrow morning on FMU and update us!

@cannynotsay the pic is a bit blurry for me so I am not sure. Fingers crossed for you. Test again in a few days & hopefully that squinter turns into a big fat line!

@DownWithCremeEggs the most recent picture looks like a thicker, darker test line in comparison with the control. I haven't seen those ovulation tests before. I use the advanced CB, which are pricey but the faces I find easier to work with. I had a chemical in March after a mc in Feb and my cycle was likewise out of kilter. My app predicted I would ovulate much later than I did. I happened to catch my ovulation earlier using CB and was glad I was testing early!

@LCA07 Hello and welcome! Fingers crossed for a positive outcome for you this month. I am 3 dpo now. I think others in the thread are waiting for ovulation too.

@cannynotsay Oh I have just seen your most recent picture. I see a line there!

I've been using the premom app and ovulation sticks and also clear blue ovulation test.

The premom says I've already ovulated and has now gone back down to low levels of LH. Yet the clear blue still has a flashy face that says high chance, I think?

We have managed to have sex once over last few days, so would actual be a miracle if I were to fall pregnant in next month 🤣.

Really struggled with my medication I'm on this week. I tried to stop my ADHD medication to see if I could do without, and it's totally thrown me off for the whole week and I had to go back on it. My head was a mess and I couldn't focus

I was advised by my ADHD consultant I could stay on it as the benefits out weigh the risks for me personally and I'm at high risk of relapse with other mental health conditions.

I just wanted to try without. So I guess I will have to see how things go.

@Mactobe I've only this month started using Premom. I don't use CB so I'm not familiar with them. Any sex is better than no sex. You can only do what you can do!
This journey is hard enough as it is. I think you should stay on your meds if they're gonna help you.

I’m so excited and in shock! My period should be here this weekend. So I’ve made an appointment with the GP fingers crossed baby stays! Very very early stages, 4 cycle in and I used Flo app xxx

@cannynotsay ah, amazing! Is this your first BFP? Sorry, I can't remember your back story.

@cannynotsayooo lovely and clear!! Congrats

Would be my 2nd child, and I’ve had faints for yesterday, and today, BFP.

Congratulations on your BFP happy weekend to you !!

@cannynotsay amazing, congratulations ❤️

congratulations!! @cannynotsay❤️

@cannynotsay Congratulations! I am so pleased for you ❤

@cannynotsay that's wonderful, everything crossed for you keep us updated!
