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?

Dont even know what dpo i am 🙄 this cycle is just long…😔

@Cocoqx if has the full blown flu he won't be able to BD at all! Otherwise you could wear a mask 😂 I hope he feel better soon!

@Iris2024 I'm feeling the same as well. Wondering if DD will be an only child.

@bigbird1234 it could very well be implantation bleeding 🤞🏻

@Ec2808 sending hugs ❤️

Sorry to hear @Iris2024xx

@SureLookNo way 😂 id be laughing the entire time if he was in a mask and he wouldnt be able to breathe the amount he is coughing right now! its our first cycle so lets see how he is 2 days or by the time i get my peak (if i do), but i might steal more of the guafesienin (mucinex) method

@bigbird1234i instantly thought implantation bleeding for ylu too, i also had lots of light milky cm leading up to when i got bfps before, when are you due to test? Maybe give it two days from the implantation bleeding? (If thats what it is)

@Ec2808 sending baby dust i havent caught up but is this your first cycle trying post mc? Sometimes cycles can be a bit unpredictable after so maybe you did ovulate a bit later than you thought?

Breaks my heart reading that people are feeling upset tonight, it goes to show how much trying to conceive actually knocks us back, I tried for nearly 3 years and I’m only 24, I had people telling me “age is on your side” or “at least you know you can get pregnant” but there’s nothing people can say that makes the feeling of trying to conceive or losing a pregnancy better. we are all on a journey and I hope we all get the babies we’ve dreamed of. Take care of yourselves first and foremost 💕xxx

Don’t worry 🤣 my partner and I conceived this baby on my birthday as a result of a quickie after I got home from work in the spooning position, no foreplay, nothing more!!! 🤣🙈

@Cocoqx ah God love him. At least you haven't peaked yet. Hopefully he's better by the time you do! Will this be your first baby? Sorry if you've already said.

@Cocoqxthis is ttc cycle #3 second cycle after miscarriage last month i had a very regular cycle ovulated on cd 14 and af arrived on cd27…this one was really bizarre 😔😔 maybe my body is messed up because of it makes me even more sad 😔 thanks to everyone for all the positivity btw! Sending everyone hugs xxx

Hello. Following everyone’s stories on here. It’s really helpful to read everyone’s experiences to get rid of the loneliness. I don’t know about your OHs but mine isn’t interested in talking about all the subtle things every 5 minutes 😅

I’m 40, ttc my 3rd, his 1st. Used OV tests this month but didn’t see a peak. Last month had a peak on CB OV digi on CD20, and then AF on CD28! Half my tests didn’t even work this month as well. So I’m ditching it. Not reliable.

Used strips as well but had a huge gap in testing this lonth when I think I must of OV (if I did at all. I’m worried cos of my age).
Darkest strip I’ve had is that one on CD16, so I think I was coming down from peak.

BD on CD13 and CD15 so 🤞🏻
Intense nausea and tiredness hit me this evening and feel terrible. And I started seeing stars when laying down. Makes me think I’ll not handle pregnancy very well being this old 😅

BFN on frer this morning. Absolutely gutted. So pissed off that I thought those faint positives were real yesterday.

Hi ladies. I’m currently 5po and managing to not symptom spot so far!
anxious about this cycle because I’ve just accepted a new job which I’ll start in August 🙊 so I think I’d be fine if it didn’t happen this month

@EmPeEf welcome! Would it be possible that you missed your peak? Since a lot of women's seem to shoot up and then come down quickly. Fingers crossed anyway 🤞🏻

@Kayleaaa ah, I'm sorry. It's so disheartening. When is AF due?

@rachael2308 well done on the new job. I was pregnant a week after starting my new job so I wouldn't worry 😂

@Kayleaaa soo sorry...for me the same the faintest line on clearblue extra early but premom negative 😭CD 28 already normaly I have shorter cycles apart from chemical in March 😭

Sorry were all in the same boat @Kayleaaaand @Ec2808- AF is due today here so we shall see but not feeling very hopefully! I’m sure there was one other person with 10DPO around today???

@Ec2808 I'm sorry, sending hugs ❤️

It's me @FlyHighSky72 I'm 11dpo today too. And @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I believe!

I've still managed to hold off on testing. I'm gonna test tomorrow morning when I'm not going to work and DP will be here. AF could come any time from CD25 which was yesterday so we'll see.

@FlyHighSky72 AF is due tomorrow we shall see 😭sorry for you too! ❤

@SureLook thank you!!❤
fingers crossed for you!

Thanks everyone. Due on Sunday or Monday. I'm done testing for the month because I just can't deal with it.

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting, keep us updated! ❤️

@SureLookand @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolateyoure right! Good luck

Well OT is getting paler and app says dpo 1 😅😅😅😩😩😩

@YKM2829 good luck 😊

Is anyone clued up on bbt. Is it basically just temperature testing? And is it right that if it goes up near AF it could possible mean pregnancy? Or is it more for ovulation?
Also mouth? Ear? Armpit?
Can I use just a normal like baby thermometer thingy that you can get from boots or somewhere the cheap battery ones or does it have to be some sort of specific one?

Thank youuii 😘

And I know I could Google it but I'll sit here for ages and its the school run so I figured if someone could just tell me, and then I can just look when I get to work 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ that'd be great I'm lazy I know 😅😅😅😅😅 x

@YKM2829 I just started this month I got the cheap bbt thermometer from easy@home as long as it has at least two decimals after the . for more precision..normally the follicular phase your temps will be lower and after ovulation they will be higher before AF they normally drop back down under the coverline...

@YKM2829 and yes in most cases bbt stay high from 12dpo onwards if pregnant
