TTC & due to OV around the 22nd March? Come on in!

407 replies

WildFlower2019 · 06/03/2019 08:05

Decided to set up a thread for ladies due to ovulate some time around the 22nd March. If you're due to OV around this time, come on in!

I find these easier to follow than the big month-long threads.

Thought we could all test at similar times, discuss our crazy symptom spotting, and all the other "fun" around TTC.

You're doubly welcome if you're a POaS addict like me Grin

About me:
33
This will be cycle 5 after TFMR last year.

TTC our first

I've tried conceive plus, preseed, all manner of ovulation kits, etc.

This month I'm going to focus on losing half a stone. I've put a lot of weight on since my TFMR. I think i could be disadvantaging myself. I'm also going to cut down on caffeine throughout the who cycle.

I've also bought the Harvard medical school Fertility Diet book, all backed up with science so I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

Here's a summary if anybody interested: www.urmc.rochester.edu/medialibraries/urmcmedia/fertility-center/education/documents/fertility-diet.pdf

Sorry to everyone who has had BFNs or AF arrive. I know it's heartbreaking xx

@Chanel05 about a month after you if this is a sticky bean! Fingers crossed! AF properly due today but I normally have 3 days of spotting before this, and nothing so far!

Ran out of FRERs but the lines on my cheapies are getting stronger every day.

Did you pay privately for an early scan? The only place that does it in my city just happens to be a five minute drive from my house and in the same building as my doctor and dentist! Only problem is, it's £90! DH wants to book it though.

I'm sure the date thing will resolve itself. I've heard that millimetres can make all the difference in their measurements and at this stage, dates can be out. I'm sure I've seen lots of similar threads on here about dates being out at early scans x

@Coastaldreamer I'm the same. And I can't even vent properly to my husband because I promised I wouldn't get so obsessed! I will tell him I'm disappointed of course but I feel more than disappointed it that makes sense. I was so sure this would be our month and to we'd have a Christmas baby

Coastaldreamer · 05/04/2019 09:09

Sorry for BFNs ladies. I know exactly how you feel in just wanting to see that second line :((

I'm on cd30 and not due till Sunday according to Flo and clue and just going to wait for AF now as I want to start afresh next month. I was desperate for a 2019 baby but deffo looks like that isn't happening and we move to cycle 3. I know it is so so early in the grand scheme of things but can't help feeling shit about it?! Is that just me?!

DH said it's so early for us and let's just enjoy the process and not stress and logically that makes so much sense but when you want it so much why does logic seem so far fetched?!

Wishing you all a happy Friday and great weekend ahead x

Kinsella82 · 05/04/2019 09:03

Sorry @Loti92 :(

Chanel05 · 05/04/2019 08:45

@WildFlower2019 according to my lmp I am 8+3 but I had an early scan last week which dates me at 7+4 today so I'm due on 18th November. What's your edd? Are you having any symptoms yet?

Thanks @Paddypaws91 and I really hope you won't be joining me this month

That was only cycle three for me so not very long in the scheme of things....

So cycle 4 here I come xx

Paddypaws91 · 05/04/2019 07:37

Sorry @Kinsella82 there really is nothing more disappointing, especially when everything has been timed perfectly.

I find it helps setting short terms goals to try and achieve before the next TWW, it seems to make the TWW come round quicker (does for me anyway).

I've completely screwed up my timings this cycle and ALL the AF symptoms today, so I'll be joining you soon.

Do you mind me asking what cycle you're on?

Kinsella82 · 05/04/2019 07:17

Well that's a stark bfn for me with fmu on a frer at 13dpo. Af due today. I am going to try and move on for this month because I have obsessed. Gutted as we really did everything this month and still got it wrong :( I so so so wanted this this month

@Chanel05 how far along are you now? I hope everything is ok?

I'm trying to work out how many weeks ahead of me you are. Are you also due in December or is it November? X

@Crazybunnylady123 good luck!! I'm driven demented so ill be glad to draw a line under this month!!

Crazybunnylady123 · 04/04/2019 19:37

@Kinsella82
I’m doing a frer in the morning.

Kinsella82 · 04/04/2019 19:02

All the cramps are very confusing. I don't normally get them til day before af but I've had them ages now. Af due tomorrow - gonna do frer tomorrow morning and if it's neg I'm giving up on this month.

Crazybunnylady123 · 04/04/2019 12:48

Cramps today. Weird blocked ears feeling.
I don’t usually get cramps till I’m actually bleeding. So I’m waiting to see if af starts today.

Chh87 · 04/04/2019 11:40

I have still had cramps on and off - I tested yesterday (BFN) and was convinced from my cramps this morning that AF would be here this morning, but now my cramps have disappeared again! I’m totally okay with it not being my month this month as we have only just started trying, but I wish AF would arrive and put me out of my misery, and so I can start getting to grips with my cycle after coming off the pill!

20TinkerBell20 · 04/04/2019 11:26

My last three cycles since coming off the implant have been exactly 31 days long. My periods start with very light cramps on and off for 5-7 days before then two days of spotting before it really starts. This time it’s a 27 day cycle which came on all of a sudden with painful cramps and bright red bleeding within a few hours. I though I was starting to understand my cycles but maybe not Sad

Coastaldreamer · 04/04/2019 11:06

Sorry for AF!

Bfn this morning. I've no idea how many DPO I am and I'm on CD29 with varying cycles of 28-36 days in last 6 months. Not feeling positive though 🤷🏽‍♀️ :(

20TinkerBell20 · 04/04/2019 10:06

crazybunnylady123 fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated Smile

Crazybunnylady123 · 04/04/2019 09:32

@tinkerbell I’m sorry at least you know. Fingers crossed this next cycle. XX
I’m testing tomorrow maybe period due tomorrow,

20TinkerBell20 · 04/04/2019 06:49

I’m definitely out this month. AF arrived 4 days early and made a very painful appearance Sad

I think it's at about 6 weeks (so about 3 weeks from now) x

@WildFlower2019 when is the earliest time you can have a scan and see something/heartbeat? I'm going to be worried until I can I bet! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kinsella82 · 03/04/2019 11:52

@20TinkerBell20 my cramps have eased a lot too. I am normally such a patient person. Can't believe how head melted I am
