June 2025 TTC Support Thread

[FlyHighSky72]

Welcome to June @Iris2024and @Ec2808

Sorry ridic busy couple of days at work - sorry I’ve missed lots from the thread! Hope everyone is ok?

CD 4 here and I’ve started on the OPKs - anyone else do anything in particular during the follicular phase to mature a good egg?

@peanutForeveri did it one time last cycle and it was horrible ! Caused more stress than anything ! I would say if you found your peak just wait and see! But that’s just my opinion

@FlyHighSky72CD6 today fertile window coming up next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰

Jumping on for the June ride here. This will be cycle 10 of "proper trying".

We're on Coq10, Vit D, Vit C and Zinc. And folic acid for me. Never used pre-seed so have ordered that to try. Also ordered a moon cup to try and tempt fate for my next period not to come

Was a bit emotional with last months failure however it's CD4 and the hormones are steadying so feeling more positive and ready to get going for the fertile window. Me and DH going away for a few days with friends this week so hoping we can get relaxed and the vibes going!

Best of luck everyone

@Orangeloverwelcome! Cd6 here there’s quite a few of us at the beginning of the cycle ! Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻@FlyHighSky72@Kayleaaa

Hi all! I’ve had a crazy few days, like @FlyHighSky72. I’m so behind. This thread is moving so fast!

Hi @Orangelover I conceived the first month I used preseed when trying for my daughter. It was only month 2 though, so maybe a fluke! I just bought some more. Fingers crossed it works for us both! 🤞

Oh and I’m CD10 so not far ahead of you, @Ec2808

@FarAwayBirdlove this!! Felt soo alone a couple of days ago! 🤣🤞🏻🤞🏻

Got preseed to try this cycle too everyone - but then read a load of stuff on here (and on the Premom chat) saying it was basically poison!?? Argh!! Also, gross question - if you’re having loads of sex how do you know whether you’re making EWCM??? Just looks like semen??

Tbh I don't know whether I consistently get EWCM. I'm never dry down there and have no problems especially in the fertile window and I do get something resembling egg white but I've never been 100% sure if I've got the right thing! This is the bit of my cycle and TTC that I get a little confused by.

CD1 for me, so fingers crossed for everyone in June! Hopefully June is the month!

@FlyHighSky72i felt the same this month but then we only BD twice during fertile window day 1&3 and wasnt able to anymore due to DH injury but i still had EWCM on ovulation day and day after also some women dont necessarily discharge EWCM but have it internally i beleive

I get sooo confused by this too!! It literally looks so similar. I think I’m 2/3dpo now and ovulated on Wednesday into Thursday. I had LOADS of EWCM Wednesday and some Thursday morning which tapered off! BUT we only DTD Sunday and Thursday, I’m hoping it caught. I think I read you generally ovulate soon after the EWCM stops? Or on the last day you see EWCM? Does that sound right. I get so muddled on it!

Morning ladies hope you don’t mind me joining 🥰 2DPO today.
Sending lots of baby dust to all ✨

Oh what, I thought preseed was good! So when I had my first ever bfp (but chemical) I’d used preeseed for the first time that cycle. I don’t think I make much cervical mucus so I think it did help! But then used it last month and nothing.

i agree I also can’t tell when I’ve got EWCM if we’re having sex. Plus when you’re having sex AND using preseed, I swear it continues coming out for at least 24hrs for me and I don’t know what’s what 🙈

@FlyHighSky72 I had the same thought about testing the mucus after daily sex. However this week, I happened to finger test my mucus before we did the deed and it was clear, stretchy and drew a line between my fingers, the next day, and everyday since, it was more of a cloudy non-stretchy white substance. We have been DTD every morning for 7 days, so that day it had been 20-22 hrs after the last time we’d had sex.
Interestingly for me it had been 2 days after I’d felt ovulation/mittelahmerz. So am wondering which day will have been the peak ovulation day?

Interesting @HennyPenny27and @jelliebean9! @Muddysocks1there was a thread about it being full of parabens on here recently! I still might try it tbh!?

The only time I used preseed I got my bfp! I know I'm going through a chemical now but that happens for all sorts of reasons, so definitely using preseed again this month!

Hi girls, sorry I have missed so much, hope is eryone is OK ☺️

So much has happened for all on all fronts and crazy busy with work. My husband received his SA results a couple of days ago and I am confused and annoyed. All looked good except for his morphology (shape) which was only 3%. The GP told him it maybe something coincidental and to test again in 3 months! We have been ttc for 17 months now with no success. Obviously this 3% isn't new and it is clearly causing an issue. We don't have 3 whole months to wait, plus 2 weeks for results, plus God knows how long more for referral and then however long the treatment will last....we are both in our 40s. I just feel like crying 😢 He is already on some vitamins and garlic capsules. What can I do?
I am 9dpo today but I am certain I don't even need to test. 3% is very low....
Sorry for the rant 💐

Hi @MayaB I’m sorry you’re feeling frustrated. It must be hard hearing there might be an issue - but maybe it’s good to know why maybe things aren’t working? Can you pay private for another SA sooner? Sending lots of love! ❤️ ps. Don’t apologise for the rant - that’s what we’re here for!

Dpo 9 and no idea what's going on. Did a first response yesterday and faint pink line. Got excited and did 2 cheaps and another first response lol obsess I know... And I don't know if I see shadows evaps dents or nothing 🤦🏽‍♀️

That’s very exciting! Have you got pics? 🙏🙏🙏 praying for progress for you!

That is so so frustrating. I am so sorry you’re going through this. Are you uk based? Private fertility stuff is spennny here. It’s so cruel 😩 we’re always here for the rants!

Keeping everything crossed for you but it sounds very promising 🤞🥰👏🙏🍀

Some how the order of pictures got messed up, but the single test strip with the Blue handle bit 2nd pic is actually the most recent one today. That's 10miu cheap off amazon.
The first pic is the first response done yesterday and in real life it has pink colour to it.
The second first response was also yesterday but letter on in the day actually. Now a line did show within the time however its either a fainter one or has no colour.
The group of blue test strips was also yesterday sporadically through the day

Still early days but also with this I just feel like they're blank and I'm crazy hahaha AF isn't due till 29th x
