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?

Tested this morning, bfn. :-( Guess I'm out this month. :-(

Sorry to hear you’re out this month @Mash0917@LunarBear
@EmPeEfthst must be difficult not quite knowing where you are. I’m still here though and I’m 8dpo. Don’t think there’s many of us left though now. I had a dream last night I was pregnant 😂

@EmPeEf do you have irregular cycles? Sorry if I missed this already.

@am44a I agree with what @Bas27 has said. How are you today?

@Mash0917 sorry it was BFN. When is AF due?

@Bumblebee1984 oh fingers crossed your dream was a premonition!

It was due last night. No sign of it yet though. But I have really bad headache now, which I get sometimes before af, I guess it's coming soon. :-(

@Mash0917 sorry to hear ❤️

Been catching up on the last few days of posts - can see some exciting faint lines!! Sending sticky baby dust to all of you, congratulations.

so sorry to those BFN. I’m in the same boat but keeping my fingers crossed for you in the next cycle.

sorry if this is not the place to ask, has anyone found any medication to help with conception on previous pregnancies? I’m looking to try something new for cycle 6. I am seeing baby aspirin mentioned a lot - is this just regular aspirin taken once a day? Has anyone used conceive plus and had a good result? X

@MyPeppyLimeBear I would also be interested to know this. I am just taking my normal vitamins that I have always taken (vitamin c and multivitamins) along with folic acid. Not sure if I should be taking something else.

@A2025@MyPeppyLimeBeari would make sure your multivitamins doesnt have too much vitamin a (i think), i am on cod liver oil and ubiquinol too. Baby aspirin isnt suitable for everyone so better to check with a dr about that and i used conceiveplus gel before and got a bfp so may try this again

@Cocoqx Thanks for that!

That’s really interesting thank you!

Yeah that’s true it all just feels too similar to previous months where i’ve thought I saw faint lines an i’ve not ended up pregnant :( I did a morrisons test today and there was nothing on it wasn’t fmu but I just feel like if there was lines on 6 cheapie strip tests yesterday id have at least a smudge of something on a different brand?

Honestly just feeling very sorry for myself 😅Also very very hormonal! I hate this period of waiting for AF it’s horrid

@am44a it's so horrible! Try to keep to the same brand of tests, just for consistency. When is AF actually due?

Not for another at least 4 days but my cycles r honestly all over the place so im hoping if im out it at least won’t be a 38 day cycle cuz I think ill go insane with an extra 10 days lol🥲

@am44a aww hopefully it doesn't drag out!

@Bas27 @SureLook was always a 29 day girl but after I turned 35 they were 33-35.

Until last month, my first month trying to track my OV! 28 days and a flashing smiley face in day 20 which seems bizarre.

Had no peak on tests this month so I don’t know where I am ☹️ been taking my temp at 8am before moving every day, but even that app says I’m all over the shop.

@EmPeEf it took me a while to find my groove with the OPKs. I would try and hold for 3/4 hours with little to no liquids. Do you drink a lot of water? That can affect the result too. What time of day were you testing? I don't do BBT so I've no advice there.

Morning everyone. 9dpo today and feeling absolutely wiped. Trying not to read too much into it though and going to hold off until tomorrow to test as said to myself wait until at least then. I got bro with my daughter at 10dpo but a negative with my son at 10dpo although I just used a cheapie so might not have been very sensitive and didn’t pick it up yet

@Bumblebee1984 fingers crossed for tomorrow. Do let us know. What test have you got for tomorrow?

@SureLookive got a boots pink dye one

@Bumblebee1984 I think they're pretty reliable. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Does anyone have past experience of how long it took for HCG to be detected on a 25miu test? I know I saw faint pink lines on 6 wondflos on Friday but I feel as if i’m going insane bcos shouldn’t it show up on other tests by now? I read the reviews on the wonflos an apparently they give indents so i’m scared they were just that :(

@am44a I just did a quick Google there and it said a pregnancy test designed to detect 25miu could give a positive four days before AF is due. I haven't heard great things about those Wondfos either 😕

I don’t trust Wondflos. I think if I were you I’d just test once each morning with a FRER. I rate the cheap easy@home tests too (10miu) but I know some women have been stung by them so FRERs probably safest. Good luck!

This is prob an evap but I did see something within the time limit but just thought it was from the test being wet however after abt 40 minutes it’s gone darker like this? Second pic is yesterdays (top) and todays test (bottom)
