Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@allthingssparkly I feel like this month is proper because I tracked and dtd properly. Last two cycles was a bit meh.

Hi everyone,
I've been on quite a few of the threads previously but just took a bit of a break as have been really down and struggling.
My doctor has been really good though and put me on some tablets to calm me and I do feel less overwhelmed 24/7.
I could see a couple of you have started tests which I've also begun. My partners had his and came back in the normal range so he's fine. I had an ultra sound and an internal, just waiting on the results from that.
I really wanted to try the purple method this month but sods law my partner is away 2 of the specific days so just going to try when we can.
Has anyone got a plan of attack this month, looking for inspiration ha ha.
Sending you all lots of luck this month xx

Thank you @Mariabombia it’s good to know we are not alone in this ❤️

My last test is the hysterosalpingogram…I think that’s the right spelling 😂 it’s the examination of the uterus and Fallopian tubes. We have gone through the NHS. Have you had any tests as yet?

Hahaha that was like me yesterday saying BFP instead of BFN 🙈 positive on the brain 🤣

Yeh I’m really trying to remain positive as well I think I became so obsessed with it last year it took the fun out of DTD I’m trying to have a more care free attitude this year!

It’s looking like my AF is here, so fingers crossed for a positive for us all next month 🤞❤️

When’s your next O date?

Also ignore me saying positive like a hundred times lol 🤣🤣 clearly got something on my mind haha

Mariabombia · 29/03/2022 12:49

Hi @Loopz66 !

I'm the same age as you TTC baby one also!

What test have you got left to do? Did you end up going private for them?

Believe me I know how hard this journey is, I feel more & more anxious each cycle but this month I'm realllly trying to be positive and stay positive.

Take heart in the results of your tests being positive ❤️

Fingers crossed for a positive result for you this month xx

RMS0209 · 29/03/2022 09:36

Hi Ladies!
Looking to join if you will all have me 😊
Spotting started Sunday, AF will be here today/tonight/tomorrow... roll on April, lots of luck to us all. X

Purple29 · 29/03/2022 09:34

Definitely AF has arrived today. So I am officially out. Gonna go for more acupuncture and going to start taking floradix, he recommended that for me. Dont know whether to try opk's next month.

MangoLipstick · 29/03/2022 09:31

@Purple29
I’m sorry things are tough right now - I wish I had words of wisdom.
I would have been over half way now - due date for dc was 15th July. I think daily about little bean but my toddler keeps me busy & I stop myself thinking about the what ifs, maybe it’s bad I do that, but I don’t think there are rights or wrongs for how you should feel. We deal with it best we can, don’t we?

Are you speaking to anyone about how low you feel? X

allthingssparkly · 29/03/2022 08:24

@RSmamaa your welcome 😊 I'm doing okay, busy with work this week before we break up for half term so that's taking my mind off over thinking the whole ttc.

I keep wondering whether I should have used OPK's but hey ho I haven't so we shall just see.

The days between my Feb period and March was 35 days which is a little longer than normal for me. Normally mine are 29/30 days.

So to cover all bases going to keep dtd when we can until my period is due.

RSmamaa · 29/03/2022 08:17

@allthingssparkly thankyou! We dtd of the most fertile days so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼. How are you feeling?

allthingssparkly · 29/03/2022 07:54

Count from Wednesday as 1dpo @RSmamaa and good luck, baby dust to you 🤍

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 29/03/2022 06:34

Took a test this morning even though I know my period is coming. Negative as I suspected. I got Covid just before I ovulated so we missed the window this month. I'm surprised at how sad I feel especially as I don't think dh will try again now.

Loopz66 · 28/03/2022 21:09

Sorry meant BFN 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still getting the hang of these abbreviations

Loopz66 · 28/03/2022 20:56

Sorry I meant tests negative, I’m still getting used to these abbreviations 🤦🏻‍♀️

Loopz66 · 28/03/2022 20:47

Hey

Hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread ☺️

I’ve been TTC for baby #1, previously on the pill since age 16 now 32.

I’m on cycle 13 and I’m slowly going insane 🤪😂 I came across this forum doing my regular monthly pregnancy symptom related Google searches 🙈

I ovulate around CD16/17 and am 13DPO. AF was due today. Had cramping a week ago and had no regular AF symptoms as yet but very faint pink CM today. BFP on Friday and again this morning 😒

Been for all tests at fertility clinic bar one which is scheduled for May and no concerns so far 🤞

How do you stay sane during the TWW ?

Best of luck to everyone trying to conceive ❤️ It’s an emotional rollercoaster

RSmamaa · 28/03/2022 20:31

Looks like its go time tomorrow! Do I class tomorrow as 1dpo or Wednesday?

RSmamaa · 28/03/2022 20:13

@Purple29 bless you. I'm so sorry for your loss ♥️ sending hugs

allthingssparkly · 28/03/2022 19:38

I'm doing okay thanks @MangoLipstick busy with work this week! How are you? We've DTD 4 times within our fertile window according to OvTracker. I'm also going away early April so that will keep me busy and stop me from testing early 🤞

I'm just trying not to get worked up/stressed about ttc.

Firm believer in that everything happens for a reason 🤍

Purple29 · 28/03/2022 19:35

@MangoLipstick and @RSmamaa I hope your right, that it's something else. Like I said I'm just not that lucky. This is cycle 6 ttc #2.

Just really struggling just now, to get early spotting on the same day I would have been exactly half way though a pregnancy. Just feels cruel. I just feel empty.

RSmamaa · 28/03/2022 19:15

@Purple29 strange! Lets hope it either stops (if it's implant) or gets heavier so your questions are answered. What cycle are you?

MangoLipstick · 28/03/2022 18:44

Hi all,

I hope you are all feeling ok.

@Purple29 how are you feeling today?
Apart from thinking af might be on the way.
I know you will automatically think you are out, but the brown blood could be something else, not definitely af x

@allthingssparkly how are you? I think I ov on day 17 (last Friday) so I’m CD3 now! Urgh the 2WW has begun.
When we fell pregnant with dd, we dtd 3 times I recall over the fertile week. It was our 2nd month trying & I wasn’t very clued up with everything , but I did use the clear blue smiley test.

When we fell pregnant with dc.2 ( ended in a MMC) I think we dtd 3 or 4 times in fertile week. So not loads and loads. Probably average!

Purple29 · 28/03/2022 18:05

@RSmamaa no its no heavier. Only a little brown when I wipe. It's kind of like stringy, def not normal for me. Will see what happens over the next few days. But I'm not hopeful. It never works out for me, my body is rubbish at getting pregnant and pregnancy.

RSmamaa · 28/03/2022 17:48

@Purple29 every pregnancy is so different though. Has it got any heavier x

Purple29 · 28/03/2022 17:44

@RSmamaa sorry I just noticed I spelt your name wrong in the last post!! Thanks it was just at the end of the year, so not long it takes to get back to normal. I never had IB with either of my previous pregnancies so i doubt it.

RSmamaa · 28/03/2022 17:33

@Purple29 sorry to hear about your ectopic. Possible it's just your hormones getting back to normal. Is there a chance it could be implantation bleeding?
