TTC February/March

@dulci379 sounds like some normal spotting to me! I wouldn't count yourself out at all.

Hey @els10 nice to see you back! Are you keeping sane? Are you still spotting? Thinking of you xxx

@CycloGoose if you're into marvel it's good! We've enjoyed it.

Girls, I am surrounded by bunnies. Every time I look on Facebook, not even just waste related. Trying so hard not to read into it.

CD9 for me today.

Hope you're all doing ok.

BFP's coming this month for sure!

@dulci379 spotting during ovulation can be normal! Down to changes in hormones. Pink would be what you'd see as well so hopefully it's that!

Hoping anyone might have any insights as feeling quite anxious and down about finding blood. We are currently TTC. I have regular periods, 29 day cycle. We DTD every night for 5 nights in a row during my recent fertile period, covering the 3 days leading up to ovulation as well as the 2 days where my clearblue ovulation sticks showed a peak and where I had egg white fluid. Yesterday morning (which would be roughly 2dpo) I had pink blood when I wiped. Apologies for TMI picture, but I’ve never had bleeding around ovulation before and surely this is way too early to be implantation bleeding? I had such a sadness at the thought of AF arriving 2 weeks early, as felt we gave ourselves the best shot this month, and AF coming this early has never happened before.
This morning again there was faint pink discharge. Does anyone think this is me out for the month? Could it be anything conception related? Might be clutching at straws, just trying to keep hopeful x

I know @minthumbugs I really started freaking out but it came back eventually. I started out casually recording my periods on my Garmin app from my watch but I've got crazier and crazier each month we've not been successful. I've got a horrible feeling there's something wrong but I'm hoping that's pure paranoia.

Hopefully you'll conceive again quickly lovely. It's such a complicated journey. Baby dust indeed ✨✨✨✨✨✨

@CycloGoose Haha! Yep same! 9 weeks wow, it's crazy what our poor bodies must be going through. Not sure exactly how many cycles as wasn't doing any tracking etc at the time but it took about 4 months to conceive. Baby dust baby dust baby dust xx

@minthumbugs absolutely. Exactly that.

I came off the pill in August and we've been actively trying since. Didn't have a proper AF for 9 weeks so it's been 5 full cycles and on to the 6th. I've got everything crossed (bar my legs obviously 🤣🤣🤣) We've really ramped up efforts on that front the last couple of cycles.

How long were you trying before your MC? Xxx

@CycloGoose totally. It's all the waiting around being so uncertain of your own body but also so hyper-aware at the same time?! How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking? X

@minthumbugs it's massively frustrating isn't it. It could even be early implantation bleeding. You're right. Not much can do at the moment. That's what I hate so much about it all. Really not a huge amount we can do to just control the situation! Drives me mad.

@Slinks8113 thanks, I do normally have a bit of spotting at the end of my cycle which would be about 2 weeks from now so defs not the usual for me. Had a MC in January so suppose everything is still settling down, just didn't expect this!

@CycloGoose totally tracking! I'm a crazy lady noting down every single way I feel and every change in my body lol. Unfortunately just going to have to wait it out and see what happens with this, just hope it doesn't delay things. 🤞🏻 Xx

@Slinks8113 such cute doggos! So lovely to be able to see the pups. My parents breed Bernese mountain dogs and they've just had puppies too.

@minthumbugs it could be so many things. Try to stay calm and keep track of your symptoms so you can talk to your doctor if you need to xxx

@CycloGoose we've just managed every other day to be honest. Since January we've been trying to eat healthy and been doing pt sessions on zoom and it's actually killing both of us haha. Weight is coming off though so that would be the only positive if it doesn't happen this month, still got a while to lose a bit more!
What's everyone up to today? The guy we got our two dogs from has just had another litter so we're going to see the pups from a distance this afternoon, it'll be very hard to not add another to the family 😂🙈 this is bounty and wispa 😍 so we'd need another chocolate name to add to the family 😂 x

Feeling a bit disheartened today. Has anyone ever heard of a 13 day cycle? 13?!

I've been spotting on and off this cycle and have had fresh red blood today - surely not back to CD1 already ☹️

@kaylsd Oooh that's not long at all! I'm hoping to conceive (not next cycle but the cycle after which begins on 29th of March) I will ovulate on around the 10th of April when which is my birthday! Also OH Mum's birthday is on the 24th of April - if we have a positive test by then that will be her birthday present :)!

July would be a great month to conceive as you wouldn't be HEAVILY pregnant over the summer either.

No plans for my birthday in lockdown, 2nd birthday in lockdown :p just going to be DTD every day I think ;)

Hopefully we can stick to the road map and we're out of lockdown by your birthday!!

@CycloGoose Yes true it is super early still but I thought with an FRER it would show up if I was? Will give it until AF comes now. Due 3rd, which was also one of my significant numbers haha! I actually didn't notice the butterfly until I posted it then immediately thought!!

Morning ladies!

@Genevive123 sorry about the bfn but still early to test so might not be out. Also you know you will probably be able to test on 27th march as well!! PS did you include the butterfly for @Sallyjo27 ?

@kaylsd very relieved not to be taunted any more and to have an end in sight for the regimented BD!

Men can just be so insensitive can't they. Glad you've woken up feeling refreshed. Definitely not sad about houseplants - I love them! Lidl is fantastic for value and quality - I've had lots from there. I also got an amazing one last year when my MIL was driving me mad. It's called mother in law's tongue and it makes me smile every time. Maybe you can nickname yours brother in law's tongue instead 🤣

You've said with yours as well that it would be great to have your anniversary party when you're not super super pregnant too so maybe that's why July is a good time for you. We never know though - like they say, our free will can change things all the time xxx

@Slinks8113 have you been doing cheap ones as well? It might be that you do ovulate a little earlier but your temp takes a while to rise? I think I ovulate almost immediately after my peak. Not sure. I woke up at 6 and did my bbt and it came out as 36.01 and then I tested again when I woke up properly at 8 and it was 36.61 so I don't think my readings are very accurate 🤦 Hope you're managing lots of successful BD!! Not sure I can face doing it tomorrow as well 🤣 TWW is on its way.

[quote Genevive123]@kaylsd that's true hun! but started to get some period pain this morning so think I'm out this month! But feeling super positive for next month! Due AF on Tuesday/Weds ! Two cycles start in March, the second one ovulating on my bday ! Would be very special to conceive then as baby would be due on my nans birthday so hoping for then 😍

Ooh really - do you think conceived in July or born in July? Xxx [/quote]
I'm hoping conceive in July cause I've had two readings what say conceive this year in summer months, plus we can be really cute in the later year at Christmas, I absolutely love looking at peoples bump pics in front of the Christmas tree and it's a excuse to eat a ton of food around that time (even though I do that anyway without a baby)! Fingers and toes crossed for you for March darling it really does sound promising for you on your birthday too! I'm due to ovulate 2 days after my birthday apparently but we shall see! Do you have any lockdown birthday plans :)? Xx

I’ve calmed down a little bit from last night I swear when I’m on my period the littlest thing can set me off, I’ve woke up in a more pleasant mood and gonna embrace our weekend off together I’m tempted to go house plant shopping because there’s a gap on my ladder shelf what would look lovely with a lil plant in my living room, sounds sad that I’m excited for the little things ;)

As for my BIL, I’m taking it as a pinch of salt, people doesn’t realise how little comments can have a big impact but I know it wasn’t done out of malice, our time will come regardless of how long that will be and when that time comes it’ll be the best thing what will happen to us ❤️ so glad for Mums net where we can just share our random thoughts when TTC or the journey ahead we’ve all been on, makes me feel less of a crazy lady these days as I used to think I was only one experiencing thoughts and the feelings but the reality is I’m not alone ❤️

Have a lovely weekend sweetheart xx

Morning Tarot ladies despite the palm trees and headaches ! Massive BFN for me today. Luckily Jade Tarot's did say Feb/March and I have two cycles that start in March so roll on them 😍

Static smiley for the weekend win! What a relief! Only had one stick left but I've been checking on the cheap ones and just used that to double check. Huzzah! At least there's two lines to celebrate at one stage in the cycle. Taking what I can get and going to dream of big fat bumble bees hahaha XXX happy weekend all xxx

@CycloGoose lol - makes fitting in the 'trying' a bit more difficult 😂 certainly keeps me busy though. And so lucky to have one already! X
