TTC March 2023 babies 🌸🌷🌿🐇🐣

Yes @BiscuitLover3678 I always work out due dates and get too invested 😂😂 my son was born in April and it was a nice time of year so I am thinking oh another spring baby would be lovely.. but need to give my head a wobble and see what happens.

5dpo here (and it's dragging...) hoping for some implantation signs too.

Hello I’m new here! 🙂

TTC first baby, first month of trying but spent a couple of months tracking ovulation etc Currently approx 8DPO and trying not to obsess over symptom spotting but it’s not hard not to!!

Felt quite crampy the last 2/3 days and AF due a week today so seems a bit early and not sure what to think of it…

I’m feeling confused today, I’m CD13 and still no signs ov is near. Temp remains steady and no change in cm..we DTD last night anyway just in case but have a feeling it might be quite a late ov this month. Should have expected it really as it’s only my second cycle off the pill so will probably take a while to settle into a pattern.

Fingers crossed that it was an implantation bleed! Hope the next few days go by quickly and then you should be able to test! I tested at 10dpo when I was pregnant with my DD and got a very faint positive which thankfully developed well the following days.

@Charl881 I’m exactly the same. Last month I bought cheapies and thought they would do for my POAS addiction. Nope, ended up buying more FRER’s 🙈

I’ve just been to the toilet and when I wiped the paper had a pink tinge to it. Surely that’s too early for implantation though?!

@WDWY hopefully you won’t be needing the cocktails 🤞🏻

@Curlywurly3 I’m going to test tomorrow which is 8dpo, just because I’m then away for the weekend (which will probably involve wine!)

I then have FRERs in to do one a day from 11dpo - 14dpo. I’ve realised it’s easier to just limit myself to one FRER for four days, than do a load of cheapies only to buy more because I don’t trust them 😂

@Curlywurly3 I'm also trying not to obsess too much but it's easier said than done! Going to plan a treat for around the tiime AF is due, so if it doesn't happen then I can have something to look forward to (ideally involving some cocktails 😅).

Hi ladies, I was on the Feb thread and have been silently lurking as I’ve been trying not to obsess too much! Also, it was DD’s 3rd birthday yesterday so I’ve been busy with that and her party at the weekend.

I’m 6DPO today and I don’t have any symptoms. I’m trying to take this as a positive as last month I started with cramping, backache and sore boobs from 2DPO which lasted until AF. I also didn’t have symptoms with my other pregnancies until after my BFP.

Who is due to test and when? Anyone testing early?

I’m another one who got pregnant quickly with my DD. But that was 4 years ago (31 back then) and I’m trying not to get my hopes up that it will be as easy this time!

@MrsGrealish If we don’t conceive this month we’re possibly taking a break until September at least as well, due to my work. So I may well see you back on here again!

I’m the opposite to all you guys who got lucky first time with your first DC, it took me 13 months to conceive my DS. I was really patient that time around, never tested early or counted the days of the TWW. Who knows why I changed 😂

4dpo... how do you fast forward time again??

I also conceived first try with my DD who is 17 months... but right now, I wish it hadn't happened so quickly because it makes me so impatient. If I had had to wait to fall pregnant with her I think I would find the TWW easier because I would probably feel like 'it's only cycle 1...' but now I'm trying to prepare myself for disappointment but cant help but have that tiny glimmer of hope 🙈

It's so nice you all have nice stories to tell! It's always when you want something so much it doesn't bloody happen!!

DS1 wasn’t planned, DS2 was 6months trying, my pregnancy that resulted in an ectopic was unplanned also (had sex once and swore blind wasn’t my FW)

Wow that's amazing!! Hopefully this is our month!!

@Angie2018 I conceived with the first 'try'. Literally DTD once in my fertile window and was so convinced I wouldn't get pregnant I forgot about it completely until AF was due and my jaw was on the floor when I tested positive. How things have changed!! I'm CD17 today and 3DPO.

Hey! I was just wondering how long it took your to conceive your daughter at age 35? I love how you say you don't worry about age as it's the one thing you can't control. I shall remember this when I worry I am 33 constantly 🙈🙈 what cycle day are you? Xx

@Charl881 I know. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. She scanned my right ovary and showed me the haemorrhaging corpus luteum. Then she moved over to the left ovary and said that there was a (in her words) a juicy follicle ready for ovulation. I do have stretchy CM atm.

It's an odd thing. Honestly would have thought with me still testing positive it would have stopped ovulation. We DTD last night (protected) but if she hadn't mentioned that..😬

Good luck this cycle I am still keeping an eye on you ladies would love to see a bfp from one of you soon 😘

@BiscuitLover3678 so I'm thinking about 3 months. Heading to Barcelona early September for a city break.
I'd say DH was ambivalent about another baby. But he's been really on edge this past month with the long miscarriage and seeing my pain. He started to cry last night just I think it had all built up and I'm ok now so he just let go. I think he needs a break as much as me.

Hopefully I won't see you on any conception boards if we do decide to try again..you'll be on the pregnancy side 😘😊 xx

@MrsGrealish glad things seem to be sorting themselves out, albeit very sadly!

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm good hun. Got discharged from the epu yesterday hormone levels plummeted to 84. Still a tiny bit of tissue visible. The good news is I'm literally about to ovulate from the other ovary 😂😭 but am sticking to my guns with the ttc break xx
