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?

Sorry @Ec2808and @Iris2024so frustrating!! I’m getting scared now I get closer to testing - so of blissfully unaware in the tww…I’m 8 dpo today so could test tomorrow morning - trying to decide whether I’ll be more upset to test tomorrow (and almost certainly not see anything) or wait until 10 dpo and be upset!?! Argh

I thought I could too but thought i was going crazy and imagining a shadow! 😂

Only 8/9dpo but feel convinced I'm out, no usual pms symptoms at all so feel like my progesterone isn't acting normal this month.

I wish there was a way to start AF just to get on with a new cycle!

Absolutely dreading the gp on Thursday as feel like I'll just be dismissed. Started investigations 7 years ago but didn't go ahead due to the depression of it all and feel like I won't be taken seriously now.

Grumpy day for me! Fingers crossed for everyone's BFP or AF for those that want the next cycle to hurry up! ❤️

@FlyHighSky72 the choice is yours fingers crossed it's positive!
@Kayleaaa what makes you think your out?

for me I can't wait to get home and test again this is driving me crazy

@FlyHighSky72 I'm thinking of delaying the upset. I'm gonna wait til 12dpo which is when AF is due according to my app. Although Premom is telling me the 19th 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Kayleaaa I'm the same. I feel like I'm out already for no real reason. Don't let your GP dismiss you. They can think what they want but push for a referral.

@ec2808 I think just no usual pms so worried if I did ovulate. Been tracking BBT and stayed at the same temperature the last 4 days so a bit hopeless!

@surelook thankyou! I did one of those Hertility tests because I got scared about my hormones, everything seemed normal so it's just left me with more questions

@SureLooki can’t decide which would be worse! My period is due Friday and 10DPO is Thursday so I either test tomorrow (Wednesday 9dpo), Thursday (10DPO) or wait for my period to arrive!!

@Kayleaaa that can be even harder cause it's nothing definite!

@FlyHighSky72 what are you leaning towards? I'm only waiting cause I upset myself testing early before.

It certainly is crunch time now for lots of us, isn't it? For those in that 9-11DPO window, hope you're coping with the uncertainty of it all okay. The not-knowing-for-sure is worse than having a definitive answer, isn't it? Whatever position you're in, be kind to yourself and do whatever works best for you.

If you're an obsessive tester - go for it. And if you want to hold off and wait for a more certain answer - go for it! Think everyone has different appetites for testing.

As for me, 6DPO today, due on my period next Tuesday (20th May... which happens to be my anniversary with my partner!). Because of that, I think I might hold off testing until Wednesday at the earliest because I don't want any disappointment to cloud our day. I also don't want to get too sentimental and make our anniversary about conceiving, if that makes sense.

@Kayleaaa what dpo are you again I had the same feeling this month too..but now pretty sure I did ovulate..❤

@Taysonic omg thank you for this! your post just warmed my whole heart! Today is also our anniversary and sadly i'm still in that uncertain window between 9-11dpo soo can totally relate to this!
Fingers crossed for you sending lots of baby dust ❤

@Taysonicthanks so much - lovely to read! I’m 8 dpo today - trying to work out whether to test tomorrow or not!!

Well, if you're anything like me, you'll tell yourself one thing and then when you come to use the toilet first thing tomorrow, you'll instinctively know what it is you want to do! Ha ha.

@Taysonic it's definitely squeaky bum time 😂 I understand about you wanting to wait and enjoy your day. Hoping for your BFP soon!

@Ec2808 happy anniversary! Any nice plans?

@ec2808 8/9dpo! I have my fingers crossed for you!

@Kayleaaathank you ❤️❤️

Ive got period belly and twinges for the third evening in a row! If AF is due just bloody show yourself already! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi everyone!! Joined from the last thread. Not tested since I found out I’m pregnant, then had a little spotting in Spain. Held off on testing, couldn’t resist today - look, I got my first ever 3+ 🥹 with the hyperemesis gravidarum, do we think this is a sticky baby? 🥹
