June 2025 TTC Support Thread

[FlyHighSky72]

Welcome to June @Iris2024and @Ec2808

@ForGiddyDreamerwell opk was definitely negative 🤣 don’t know if i was way too hydrated and that had altered the result or if i’m not in my fertile window yet… but then why the ewcm and watery and weird cramps? 🙄 don’t know what to think anymore 🤣🤣🤣 will be bding just in case not making the same mistake as last month 🤣🤣🤣

@Muddysocks1 I think I have ovulated today also but will wait for the BBT rise tomorrow morning to confirm. Love the list - I might try to do these too!

@Esssa This might sound stupid but what aspirin do you take? I might get some to try

@MummyV2021 Really empathise with the urge to test versus protecting your heart. I had mc in Feb and it's cruel how you continue to test positive. There's a reddit that I always go back and read when I feel the urge to test before AF is due. https://www.reddit.com/r/tryingtoconceive/comments/1bhk4u0/psa_luteal_phase_symptoms/

I really hope you get your positive this month 🤞❤️

@Ec2808 those damn tests! I never know what to trust 😂 best to cover yourself and just enjoy!

@ForGiddyDreamerthat’s what i thought! Plus it’s fun so we shall see if hubby is up for another round 🤣🤣

@daisy2025 it the 75mg ones. You can pick them up cheaply in home bargains or the b and m.

That link is amazing and so well written. The issue I have is that i know all of that 😅 and i still get itchy fingers and want to test. But for me i think its that i like to be doing something and am a slight control freak and testing makes me feel like I have some insane control because I catch the negative before af?! So I can prepare. That probably sounds crazy. I promise I’m quite relaxed and don’t stress! 🤣

The aspirin thing is strange. With my DS, I got given it by my midwife to take in 2nd trimester and I still don’t know why really. Do you take it all the way through pregnancy or just when TTC?

@jelliebean9 😂 Hahaha yes I get it. But I drive myself worse hoping that the negative might just turn positive in a few days time. I was better last month & didn't test until 13dpo but I was so hyper vigilant with how I felt that it was a tough TWW.

I caved and tested today bfn, its not even fmu, i dont know why i even bothered think i secretly wanted to use up my only test so i dont test until my 30pack cheapies come in the post on friday!

Thanks @ForGiddyDreamerthe post really helped and im glad i used up my test so now i wont be able to test until 10dpo and drive myself crazy. I know its not my month but atleast then i do one more test if its negative im not pregnant il sulk for the day and wait for AF

It’s so so hard when you really want something isn’t it? Progesterone generally makes me feel terrible anyway and prior to DS and being safe NOT ttc. There were baddddd months when I genuinely was like wowww I feel crap, I definitely ‘feel’ pregnant. Seeing it written like that highlights again just how wild hormones are!
im 10dpo at the weekend, so I will wait till then to test as I did show a BFP at 10dpo last cycle with the chemical.
what cycle day are you at the mo? X

You never know 😬😬😬 you’re not defo out until af shows. Even if DTD was a bit squiffy with the dates! I do feel that if it’s still negative by about 12dpo then it’s just a case of waiting for AF but part of me sort of feels like I have more control cos I know before that it’s gonna come 🤣

@jelliebean9 im only cd 9 today but got a flashing smiley today so I think I'll ovulate next 3 days or so. Lots of bd to fit in!

In Feb when I mc I didn't get a BFP until 16dpo and I was around 13dpo in March with the chemical. Though the dates of that are iffy as I didn't have a period and wasn't tracking. But I definitely felt implantation in Feb. I had the weirdest prickling sensation. It made me jump!

I think it’s meant to depend on why, so if it’s to support implantation, or later on reduces risk of other things?

@Muddysocks1and @jelliebean9yeah the later aspirin is to protect against preeclampsia

Ah yes that’s the one!

On my second grapefruit juice and tonic water - yum! Won’t have another but could def get used to these in the evenings - very tasty and full of vitamin c plus meant to be good for CM! Will switch to pomegranate juice and tonic water after ovulation. I’m CD8 apparently two days away from entering my fertile period - we shall see how this cycle goes. Feeling a bit more positive today….fingers crossed

Ooh yum enjoy! I’m going to have a pomegranate and tonic shortly 🍹

Does this test look like I’m starting to enter my peak? The others have been so faint on the build up I’m cycle day 14.

@Ash2345f I would say it's getting there. Test again tomorrow mid morning and afternoon.

I was quite low yesterday morning, then tested again this morning to a peak and this afternoon it had reduced slightly. Wondering if the actual peak was yesterday though as had a little pulling for an hour or so just in and below from my right hip. Managed to DTD for the last 5 days so fingers crossed it's worked. Got a chemical last month so trying not to get hopes up too much.

Haha yayy 2ww buddy. I know, it’s so hard waiting at the start when you know all symptoms are progesterone related anyway. How long have you been ttc? Sending baby dust!✨

Yes @Ash2345fi would test twice a day now to make sure get your peak!

@ThisHangryTigerfingers crossed heard you are more fertile after a chemical

Are you using the premom app to track it with?

isnt it.. I need to not be obsessive haha but it’s so hard 😅🫣!
started in October last year, we got pregnant in December but unfortunately lost baby in March this year so this is only my 2nd proper TTC cycle after the loss!
how about you??xx
