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?

Anyone know.... if I wanted to test tonight, how long would i have to not pee for today? Should I drink?

Yes 7DPO, regardless of what day you ovulate for the blood test ☺️

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolateare you 12dpo today? My understanding is that you can probs test any time with about a 3 hour hold - maybe do it earlier before you’ve drunk too much rather than waiting until this eve?

Congrats @SureLook !!!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate i think ideally after a 3-4hr hold… I always struggle with that as have a tiny bladder 🤣

@FlyHighSky72 ah sorry! I know how it feels to still have that hope. I won't say anymore 🤐

@rachael2308 thank you! If that's what's normal for you then that's probably what it is.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I agree with the others. I'd say 3/4 hour hold with no/very little liquids. Keep us posted!

@Muddysocks1 thank you!

Thanks @Muddysocks1@SureLook@FlyHighSky72 yes, 12dpo today. Might do a cheeky test later then. I've not had anything to drink yet except to take my folic acid tablet with and that was at about 7am!

Thanks @SureLookhappy for you that got your positive! Can’t help feeling a little jealous though! Feeling sick now which is clearly all in my head but so so frustrating - just want AF to show up now so I can move onto the next cycle!! At work this evening so I reckon she’ll show up then just to really piss me off

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolateid do one in about an hour then!! Keep us updated

If you don’t want to wait, I always find my SMU even if not after a long hold is good. It’s actually usually better than FMU for me! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Well got some CB tests coming with the shop, which has obviously been delayed by an hour or two now I want to use one! Will do one once the shops here if no AF by then!

@Muddysocks1sorry I don’t understand - how can the test be done at 7dpo regardless of ovulation day? How would you know when you were 7dpo if you didn’t know when you ovulated?

Argh how annoying @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatedid I read you were taking your DS to swimming? Anywhere you can pop when collecting him?

Could nip to the shop afterwards as taking him to the barbers but then the shopping with not be far off anyway! I expected AF to be here bu now or else I'd have got some on my way home from work yesterday!

@SureLook oh my god eeeekkkk that’s positive! Congratulations lovely! 🥰

@Ec2808 Nope I’m in the AF trenches! Onto cycle 3 (this year) 😩

Onto June TTC for me when AF is due again.

@Iris2024sorry 😔 i would prefer af to arrive my cycles are normally not this long CD29 today…

@Ec2808waiting for mine too! Wish it would just come now and stop messing with my head!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatei’d grab one in case!!

@FlyHighSky72exactly ! 😩

@Iris2024and @Ec2808maybe we should make a June thread?

@FlyHighSky72think so too ❤️❤️

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I'd say you could test around 10 or 11 then 🤞🏻

@FlyHighSky72 aww I know, I was feeling the same. It's shit x

@Iris2024 thanks so much! Sorry AF is here x

I totally understand, if I get a negative at 10dpo I personally take that as being out! I know some people do get positives later but that has never happened to me

Just to say try not to deliberately dehydrate yourself as it’s important to be hydrated for the best chance of successful implantation! Good luck!

Thanks @BGxxxive also read that if you implant later than 10 dpo it’s unlikely to lead to a successful pregnancy anyway - so surely if you implant at 10DPO you’d get something on a test at 12dpo! Still got ‘symptoms’ here - wish I knew what my body was doing - I feel sick, backache and sore nipples! Just checked my cervix and it’s still high and I’ve got loads of slippery cm - stupid body!!

@FlyHighSky72i feel the exact same way! I have hightened sense of smell and increased watery slippery cm cervix still high 😩😩

@Ec2808and @Iris2024ive made a new thread and tagged you! Anyone else who is out for May is welcome to join!!
