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?

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatefingers crossed for you dont forget it could all be down to urine concentration! My smu seems more concentrated!

Thanks @HellsBellsTrudyI know you're right!! I will test again tomorrow.

@CocoqxI did have an awful lot to drink last night! The hardcore stuff, Shloer 🤣

Negative again this morning at 9DPO. Still early I know, but starting to get a bit disheartened 😔

@FarAwayBird thanks so much. Best of luck for June ❤️

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I agree with @HellsBellsTrudy !

@Ec2808 fingers crossed June is your month ❤️

@DownWithCremeEggs sorry it was negative. Will you leave it a few days to test again or what are you thinking?

@SureLook AF is due on the 23rd so I'm thinking of just leaving it until then to test.

@SureLookwe shall see just fed up at this point

Gosh this thread moves quickly! Few congratulations are needed by the looks of it - @SureLook and maybe a tentative congratulations to @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate - keeping fingers crossed for you both.

As someone else has said, it's awful to see the impact of this limbo on you @Ec2808 - hopefully you have an answer one way or the other soon so you know where you're at.

As for me, I caved early and did a test this morning (at 11dpo). Stark white. AF is due on Tuesday. I feel like I'm out. But, we'll see what happens over the next few days. I'd like to think I can hold off testing again now until Thursday if AF doesn't make an appearance, but I'm not sure I've got the willpower for that! Ideally AF will turn up asap and I can move on to next cycle...

It's so strange isn't it... A week ago, I felt fine and was quite realistic that I didn't think our chances of conceiving this month were good - didn't DTD as much as is ideal and was at peace with that. And then, I get to 9dpo and start convincing myself that this is it... Find anything to support the theory I am pregnant and get myself all hyped up about it. God damn TTC rollercoaster.

I’ve only used the early ones so I’d go for those!

@Taysonicthis cycle is torture 😔 hopefully i know what’s going on soon…

Got some early ones @BGxxx, ready for the morning!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatei agree with what others have said. Keep the faith. It’s still very early!
I have started testing with FRER like a nutter at 8DPO. Obvs BFN.
from last months (very spotty) data it looks like I had a very short LP.
Had cramping and back ache since yesterday. This is normal for AF so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess time will tell.

Ughh does anyone else find the last week of the tww torture lol? Slightly dramatic but the uncertainty mixed w me walking around assuming and convincing myself i’m pregnant every time is draining even if I “have a month off” I still do it aha I just want to know 🥲didn’t even log any symptoms of ovulation this cycle so i’m completely in the dark of where I am right now

@am44a I’m starting to feel the same, 6DPO and I’m imagining all the possible outcomes!

@HellsBellsTrudyIt’s so draining isn’t it:( It always feels so exciting for the first few weeks then the last week of tww i’m constantly having mixed feelings. Also I think I possibly could be around 6dpo too! I logged ewcm last on cd 14 so i’m assuming I ovulated around then:)

On a slight side note, does anyone know if it’s okay to take antihistamine in the TWW as I’m dying off with hayfever but not sure!

So I already use flo and premom and have done since beginning of last year so they have a lot of data to go off, I'm wondering if anyone uses any other apps that they recommend, as flo dates and premom dates for AF this month are different. So wanting a 3rs opinion basically after I input all my data 😂😂

@YKM2829i just got back from my sister in laws and she used the iphone health app to track fertility past month and got pregnant with that I just checked and fertility window in my case lines up more with premom app ❤️

Hi ladies, I’m cycle day 7 today, I’m 42 and my cycle was 66 days, that was out of the blue as I had been a 28 day girl! Had 5 days of bleeding, and starting my ovulation tests today, with today’s being 0.04 so not sure if I’m ovulating, time will tell, but I’m here just incase

So I’ve stupidly tested on the evening just now of 6DPO like a crazy person. It’s going to be a long few days! 😭

Well, didn't need the extra tests! Just started bleeding 😞

So sorry 😔

Thanks @DownWithCremeEggs, at least we know that we're both still working, even if it hasn't stuck this time!

@DownWithCremeEggs I personally think it's better for managing the disappointment. Keep us posted anyway.

@Taysonic thank you for the congratulations. I'm sorry it was BFN today. It really is such a rollercoaster.

@Bas27 sorry but remind me, did you have a loss? My LP was definitely shorter since my MMC.

@am44a @HellsBellsTrudy sorry to hear it's starting to drag.

@Alwaysroomforanotherdog welcome!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate aww, I'm so sorry. Sending hugs ❤️

Wow.. been away for a few days and just jumped on and I see there is a lot to catch up on.. sorry to those of you who have had bfn. We are all in this together ❤️ and I'll see you all over on the new tread for hopefully 🤞🏼 some bfp's for us.

And also congratulations @SureLook I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy ✨✨

Maybe I’m crazy but it looks lonely a line 🤣🤣
