June 2025 TTC Support Thread

[FlyHighSky72]

Welcome to June @Iris2024and @Ec2808

Thanks so much 💕 @jelliebean9 @ChaE05 @LookForTheLiight

just done another test - now looking like my peak was this afternoon
hopefully manage to DTD tonight

madness the pressure we put on ourselves when we see them dark lines 🤣

@EmPeEf I’m really sorry 😔 re cycle day, I counted the first day of proper bleeding as CD1, and using that I ovulated on CD15 which is normal for me so no delay

Hi all!

@EmPeEfim so sorry to hear what you’re going through, I hope you are okay!

@jelliebean9congratulations! Those lines are definitely visible!

just wanted to update everyone that I got my positive digital Thursday so I shared the news with DH! The line is progressing nicely, currently 10/11 dpo - this is today’s line, I’m super surprised how early the lines showed as AF wouldn’t be due until tomorrow

Hello.. Sorry in advance as I know this thread is about ttc and not relationship issues..

I'm going through a tough time with DH. I feel unwanted and unappreciated. We have a 2-year-old, but our relationship is strained. He rarely initiates intimacy, he even once told me that I could sleep with others if I wanted, and has refused to consider divorce. He's 16 years older, treats me like a child, and avoids going out together. I feel like he’s embarrassed of me. (I’m very attractive 29year old). Despite discussing fixing our relationship and having another baby, I often feel lonely and unloved. He seems excited about having another child, and he is a good dad to our daughter. I feel like the only reason he married me is to have kids and don’t feel left out as all of his friends are married with kids. I feel lost—am I overreacting? Should I have another baby with him anyways even though I know this relationship won’t survive?? I don’t know what to do I really want another baby- a sibling for my daughter who’s going to be three next month.. He’ll never divorce me.. he’ll make my life miserable.. should I just forget about being loved by him and just focus on being a good mother?

@EmPeEf I’m so sorry. I hope you’re doing okay x

@Mia20222 doesn’t sound like a great situation to have another baby, to be honest. Sorry you’re having a rough time. You might get more replies on the relationships board. Good luck!

You guys… I’m letting myself get too excited about this when it can still so easily end in sadness like last cycle. I’m trying to hold faith in that last month I never got over the threshold sensitivity past a FRER before the chemical happened. These being 10miu and getting stronger is way more promising. I’m still terrified though. Is that normal after losses?

Congratulations. We must be literally exactly the same due date?! I’m 11dpo too 🙏🙏

I didn’t want to read and run. But this is an awful situation and I’m so sorry you’re stuck in it. You’re between a rock and a hard place here. And I’m not sure what way to suggest to go. It personally doesn’t feel right bringing another child into an already strained relationship. I don’t think having a child to fix a relationship is ever a smart move. But if you don’t think he will talk and fight to fix things then it’s a really hard one. How would you feel if you left him and took your daughter? Would your quality of life be better?

@jelliebean9 🥰🥰🥰 ahhhh congratulations
all sounds and looks positive 🤞 keep us updated!

@Iris2024 I'm similar to you! 4DPO today. We also didn't BD enough as we were both under the weather with a virus - DTD peak day and day before peak, not as much as we'd have liked!

I fell pregnant last year at 34 on 3rd cycle (ended in MC which is why I'm back!). I think the minority will take as long as 1-2 years. It's not a quick drop off after 35 as they make out, it's a slow decline.

Thanks @Howspieduhfingers crossed that 1-2 years is not the average!! Anyone know what the average time to conceive is at 37?

@Mia20222very sorry to hear about your situation but as others have said this really isn’t the right thread for you. We are here to support each other as we ttc - you’d get much more support and many more replies on the relationship boards. Thanks

It’s frustrating isn’t it because you feel like you’re out straight away but the reality is we could still get pregnant doing it twice 🥹🤣

@jelliebean9 yaaaaayyyyyyy those lines are developing nicely ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@jelliebean9so exciting! My due date is Feb 8th

@jelliebean9 those lines look good!

I'm 4/5 DPO, although reckon I'm 5 and going to try.and hold off testing until next Friday. Feeling quite anxious this time in the TWW. Had a CP last month but still just feel like I'm feeling too anxious if that makes sense?

@jelliebean9completely normal to feel so scared. Your lines look beautiful. And today you are pregnant, don't let your anxiety take that joy away 🥰 praying this baby sticks for you x

@jelliebean9your lines look great! I can’t remember if you’ve missed your period yet? If you have (and it were me but obv completely up to you!) I’d try to stop testing! IMO it just leads to madness and trying to compare lines. As others say, you’re pregnant right now so congrats!! Can you book a private early scan at 7 weeks?

in other news - has anyone used Proov? I’m going to try it this cycle but think I’ve already messed up…I think I’m meant to have recorded a baseline result just after my period which I didn’t???

Congratulations! Lovely line progression 👌😍 hope you are able to enjoy it more in the coming days and weeks ❤️

Anyone else just waiting on AF now? I can’t be bothered with this cycle anymore, just want it over with 🤣

Today’s test looks so so good and dark!! I think it’s normal to be scared it’s such a stressful time when the only confirmation you can get at this stage is from tests x

@FlyHighSky72i fell pregnant at 37 with my son on 3rd cycle. Just sharing a positive story. Didn’t take as long as I thought it could. Now I’m 40 feel it might take longer this time though.

Aww that was so lovely 🩷 thank you so much. Such a good way to think of it in your head. Because we never know what tomorrow will hold, so let’s enjoy things for today 🩷
