May 2025 TTC Support Thread #2!

[Muddysocks1]

As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

@Mummysparrowi think in your position it’s a toss up between whether you’d feel more upset if it was negative tomorrow or if you waited 2 days and it was negative (not saying it will be just saying that’s what I’d be saying to myself)

@SureLookomg i’ve been craving salt this cycle since 2dpo thought that was really weird because i normally have a sweet tooth 🤣 lower back pain on and off twinges and one vivid dream at 7dpo and i normally don’t remember my dreams but that one woke me up at 3h also frequent urination but not sure if that’s pregnancy related because i drink a lot of water 🤷🏻‍♀️
@Mummysparrowi agree with @FlyHighSky72

So did a cheapie test that came up with a faint pink line, got excited so used my frer with the same pee and lo and behold a stark bfn! I swear there needs to be stricter manufacturing for these things!

Definitely have the AF belly already, usually feel ashamed of it but actually took a moment to enjoy it as it's the few days a month I can actually see what it would look like pregnant!

Catching up on everyones posts, I feel SO happy to have found this thread ❤️

@Ec2808 same, I'm much more of a sweet gal than savoury! I'm trying not to look into it all too much. If I wasn't TTC I wouldn't even give it a second thought. It's damage control to protect myself from the disappointment.

@Kayleaaa it is shameful really that these crap tests are allowed. So unfair. Don't be ashamed of your AF belly. We are women and this is what happens. Me too, very grateful for the support here!

BFN for me today at 12DPO. Due on tomorrow, but not feeling like I will be? I think I’ve made a big mistake though after someone mentioned pregnacare can mess cycles up 😭😩 started that this month! Best not be on my period when we fly in two weeks!

@SureLooki know what you mean i always try and not look into it too much but i can’t help myself 😩 but true when you’re not trying you just get on with it 🤣🤣
@Kayleaaasoo sorry about this it’s terrible gives us all false hope 😔😔

@HellsBellsTrudyyay! You and I have a little while to wait then! When are you thinking of holding off testing to? I don’t think I’ll be able to resist from 9dpo (next Monday)

11dpo today and BFN
AF due tomorrow(ish!) and lots of cramps/lower back pain
want her to hurry up and arrive so I can move on to next month mentally 😆

@Disneybride my first cycle on them was about 40 days (normally 27-29) but hopefully they don’t have too much effect on you - lots of people have no side effects! X

Woken up CD28 and no AF
10DPO and looks like a BFN 😢

Same babe, If no AF tomorrow I’m going onto a missed period but BFN this morning at 10DPO

I feel like I could have written this word for word! Roll on next cycle... I hope we both have better luck 🤞🏼

@Iris2024 @2Sugars2 in it together for next month!

We are in this together! ❤️ Just want AF to show now if not pregnant. Move on with my mindset.

Hi everybody! still a vvvvvvvfl this morning don't know what to think anymore honestly just think i'm crazy...feel the same either want a convincing line or for AF to show so I can start the next cycle 😫#10DPO

Awwww babe this must really be screwing with your head. I keep thinking I can see a shadow on my first test but know I’m crazy! 10DPO for us both is still so early but already ruled myself out. Just want AF to show so I can move on 😩

@Iris2024 I know talk about emotional rollercoaster...me too at this point !
fingers crossed for next cycle for us ❤

Definitely babe, I’m so glad I’m off work today so I can be emotional and get my head together.

Well I’m due on today and have been regular - nothing. BFN. It’s got to be the pregnacare! I might have to take medroxyprogesterone if I come on the week we are away! Should have been my fertile week 🫣

@Bas27 oh I’m bloody terrible so will probably be wasting tests from 6DPO 😂

@Iris2024 i don’t want to get your hopes up because I know how much of a mind fuck TTC is but I see a shadow/vvvvfl on your first photo I think!

@Iris2024 oh I wish I could have stayed at home! soo tired didnt shut my eyes last night!
that's nice you can have a nice quiet day at home! we can be emotional together i near threw my test out the window this morning 😂

@Iris2024i second @HellsBellsTrudythough i think i can see a shadow on the first picture kind of looks like mine…

@Disneybride aww hopefully not!

@ThisZippyViewer I know what you mean. You just wanna move onto the next cycle now! Sorry @2Sugars2

@Iris2024 you might still be in!

@Ec2808 maybe you could try wait until 12dpo? Just to give it a bit more time?

@SureLook i know i should but kind of hard when you have symptoms..specially after loss

@Ec2808 aww I know. It's so hard. Whatever makes you feel best x
