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 ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Just lurking here like many others. Stopped my pill two weeks ago hoping that AF will show soon so we can start TTC so hopefully will be testing next month but who knows?!?
The waiting is killing me as we have been talking about it for so long but had to wait till 3 months from returning from Mexico due to zica

Hello All ♥️
Took some time away !
I'm just about to enter my Ovulation week 🤞🏼
Usually ovulate around CD 16-19 and today we are CD 14.
OPKs are getting higher but I reckon it'll at least be a few more days till Peak.
I AM PREPARED AND READY 😢😂

How's everyone doing ?
What CD are we all on ?

Thats me CD15 so the TWW starts now!!! Hate this wait.

PrettyPolly92 · 19/03/2022 09:04

Hello! Just a quiet lurker here!

@BigAlice AF showed up for me this morning so will be in TWW with you in a couple of weeks 🥰 (That's if I can convince OH to start trying end of March, we previously agreed April so I'm 🤞🏼)

BigAlice · 18/03/2022 10:32

Hey everyone, AF started for me yesterday so joint this thread 😊

allthingssparkly · 18/03/2022 09:45

25th March

allthingssparkly · 18/03/2022 09:24

@MangoLipstick absolutely I agree with the OPK's. My periods are regular so I don't see much point in using them again. Clue app is predicting my ovulation date as the 22nd March. In Feb's cycle I got positive opk's on the 23rd and 24th.

I'm going to DTD a day or two before my ovulation date as I didn't do that last cycle, we probably did it too early and the day after ovulation! So it's probably why we missed either that or I have a very short surge.

I'm going to go off CM this time too I think which will be an indicator as to when I'm ovulating 🤞

TeddyBeans · 18/03/2022 06:50

Morning all! CD7 here and AF has finally buggered off. Plan is to alternate between DTD and AI every day from CD10 to CD17 to cover all bases as my cycle seems to be all over the place at the moment.

It's nice to catch up, MN has been very buggy for me the last couple of days. Good luck ladies 🍀✨

MangoLipstick · 17/03/2022 13:27

@allthingssparkly cycle buddies!

I think opks are very useful if your periods are irregular or you don’t know 100% when you ovulate. I ovulated day 21 last cycle, 2 days later then I thought. ( I had a MMC in Jan, so wanted to track as know cycles can get messed up)
I just want to give them a miss this month as found myself testing 2 or 3 times a day, it felt abit rigid and a tad stressful.

Do you get any ovulation signs?

Oh, thank you, good luck to you too🍀✨

allthingssparkly · 17/03/2022 10:54

Morning @MangoLipstick I'm CD8 today so just one day behind you! I wasn't going to bother opk testing this cycle either, just wanted to go with the flow but I ovulated towards the end of my cycle in February which was my first month tracking so I don't know whether to just risk it and not bother opk testing this cycle or track again to see whether it is that I normally ovulate towards the end of my cycle 😬

Good luck to you! ⭐

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 17/03/2022 08:53

Only managed to DTD on CD 11 and 13 and I have tested positive for Covid today so think I'm probably out this month.

MangoLipstick · 17/03/2022 08:47

Morning all,
I hope you are all feeling ok?

I’m on CD9 at the moment. I’m giving opks a miss this month.
If we manage to conceive this cycle, baby due date would be 17th Dec! 😄
We’d love a Christmas baby.

Joining from the March thread, this will be my 5th cycle ttc, I have one ds 18 months. I stopped tracking my ovulation last few month but I’ve ordered the clear blue tests which I’ve not tried before and a ferti Lilly cup.

Reesa2022 · 15/03/2022 22:43

@Chloo22

Thank you ladies for your words! It is so very weird my whole body seems to have been out of sorts. I’ve had cramping over the last few days and was hoping it was signs of a period or something but still nothing yet. It’s been 3 months since stopping the depo. - only just started having unprotected sex with the decision of TTC only last week.

Feel like I don’t know where to start! Might have to just like you said Ov test everyday!
My Son who is 2 in June unfortunately conceived earlier than expected so didn’t really track anything!!

Hi @Chloo22 Have you heard of/looked into Lady's Mantle?

I had a MMC in Nov and didn't ovulate until end of Feb and just finished my 1st period.I used Lady's Mantle for a week in early/mid Feb when I was getting really down about not cycling and within 10 days had signs of ovulation backed up by positive OPKs.

I tend to take Lady's Mantle to help manage the first 2 days of my period as it helps stems bleeding but I've read that it is also good for bringing on periods and supporting cycle regularity.

Not sure if it will be THE solution, but if you're looking to help balance out your hormones and bring on a period, it may help. It worked for me (I think) so perhaps look it up and see if it may help you 😊 Xx

Purple29 · 15/03/2022 19:09

I think I'm maybe nearing ov. I'm still breastfeeding and before my loss in Dec I used to get really sore nipples around my fw. This is the first time it's been like that since before then. So maybe this is the first time ovulating since?! Fingers crossed 🤞

Purple29 · 15/03/2022 10:00

Hey so I'm CD 11 today and I woke up and had some kind of sharp pain on my right side, really low down? I've never had this before. Has anyone else?

allthingssparkly · 14/03/2022 21:01

My bleed that I've just had basically started two weeks after my 2nd positive OPK.

Just going to go with the flow this cycle 🤞

RSmamaa · 14/03/2022 20:58

Ooh ok. I think the bleed may have been too late for implantation then.
