TTC March 2023

that looks like a really good line still @HannahLouD i hope it sticks for you :)

@ElleJones1 agree! 😊

How're you doing? 8dpo today and did a test with second wee (woke up early on first wee and didn't think to do one) and BFN xx

@Angelselevenx completely agree! I think stop testing if you can this week (I know that's really hard!!) and embrace what it is for now xx

@HannahLouD I think the tests look the same in the photo lovely. I've seen many people on here though that have said their test is lighter the next day but go on to have healthy pregnancies. Don't forget HCG doubles every 2 days so your HCG levels may still be the same as yesterdays xx

@HannahLouD I'm sorry, is this a guaranteed? Can we still have hope? xx

Morning girls, hope everyone's doing well!

Thank you so much for all of the love and support yesterday, but unfortunately my biggest fear has happened... My test this morning is lighter than yesterday's... I knew I'd messed things up. So annoyed and disappointed in myself. Second chemical in a row now... :( That'll teach me for drinking before knowing for absolute sure... x

Honestly, please don't do this to yourself!! It won't have done anything at this stage, please believe that! With my son, I had no idea, got really drunk over Christmas a week before BFP and he was absolutely fine!xx

@Pitstop1986 @ElleJones1 @Moriquendi thank you so much 😊 I'm not getting excited yet as it's such early days and I really do think I've probably seriously harmed my chances of this being a sticky one 😩 if I have another cp I'm just going to think it's because of the alcohol... Because it absolutely can't have done any good! :(

@Pitstop1986 have you tested today?x

@HannahLouD Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳 that’s a great line for 10dpo!! The wine won’t have any effect at all. Good luck wnd enjoy 😊

@ElleJones1 ❤️ some cycles I get really down, but it's my birthday 10th April and I've got a night out planned for nx Fri so I can have a drink now AF has shown... also its my youngest sons birthday in April and my step sons and we've just started house renovations so I've got alot to keep me occupied over this next cycle so I'm hoping I won't have time to sit and over analyse anything 😅

I'm going to start myo-inositol today I have PCOS and I've read good reviews with this bringing ovulation forward and helping people with PCOS so I'm actually quite excited for this cycle ☺️

Not sure I can say I'll have the same enthusiasm if it's a BFN in April but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it 🤭 xxx

@Bellabeemarie that's such a great attitude to have. You can have Tuesday wine tonight and chill! I hope you are ok xx

Welllllllll AF has just shown up! I'm surprisingly okay this month I don't feel sad or upset 😊

Cd1 I'm looking forward to relaxing over the next 2 weeks and not thinking about ttc.... its so mentally draining this 2ww has well and truly took it out of me 😫

@HannahLouD oh wow! Congratulations! Oh my goodness, forget the wine, seriously. Can't be changed now and I really don't think you can feel guilty. I spoke to my dr recently about my loss and he said unless you were chain smoking or doing loads of drugs........ no damage is/was done! please don't feel guilty and just enjoy this moment xx

@HannahLouD congratulations!!! That's amazing news! Don't worry about the wine, I was about 4+2 with DD and had a mega headache and was in a fowl mood after a stressful day at work. Got a bottle of wine on the way home and drank the lot that evening, only to realise afterwards that AF was late and the next day got a bfp. She's a perfectly happy and healthy 15 month old now!

@Angelselevenx my picture quality is rubbish 😕

@Angelselevenx I've been so rubbish with my temp this month 🙄😮‍💨 but here it is xxx

10dpo was so so so so far from expecting this just now... I can't even start to get a tiny bit excited because I just feel like I'll have another cp and that it will be all my fault. I honestly has convinced myself I was out and I drank an entire bottle of wine last night after not drinking a drop of anything for a month. I feel so stupid and I'm so worried that's going to have completely ruined my chances of this being a sticky one now 😭🙄🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️x

https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy-test-calculator.php highly reccomend taking a look at this site xx

@Bellabeemarie you're not out until AF arrives! But every cloud has a silver lining and you can have a drink! Do you have any photos of your graph today?

Of course! AF is due 01/04 so will keep you updated.

@Angelselevenx yeah hun, huge temp drop today I think AF is about to show her face I've started cramping, I'm okay this month I can have a drink nx weekend for my birthday with no BFP this month....

On to the next hey 🫣

Got my fingers crossed for a BFP this cycle for you tho keep me updated please 😁

@Pitstop1986 I'm hoping so, but don't want to get my hopes up 😩

You can input if your sleep is interrupted etc but yeah the overall trend is there and you only need 3 hours of non interrupted sleep to track your BBT. Not sure if that makes a difference between day or night sleeping though, natural cycles customer service is really good so might be worth asking as I'm sure you won't be the only one!

@Angelselevenx looking promising! I don't track temperature due to shift work, but I'm really curious as to what would happen with mine...

Might start tracking next month, just to see, there may be a few erroneous results, but the overall trend would still be there, surely?

@Bellabeemarie did you manage to take your temp this morning? I'm 7DPO now and temps shot up but who knows! I had an intense pinching like sensation last night on and off for about an hour but seems to have subsided now, just feels like I can feel my ovaries this morning 😂

@Angelselevenx I was so tired lastnight I fell asleep with my ovusense in my hand and woke up at 5am it's goto be left in for 6 hrs min so I couldn't temp this morning 😂😂😂 I was so mad with myself loool

Still no AF and no signs yet still a waiting game 😬

Don't count yourself out this early try and stay optimistic 🫶

I'm 9dpo. Caved and did an IC this morning but stark white negative. I had convinced myself that I was pregnant as well!

My resting heart rate has jumped up a few beats per minute over the past couple of days, so not sure what that's all about. I thought that my boobs felt a bit sore yesterday, but I'm probably imagining that, my lower abdomen feels heavy and my bowels have been sluggish the last couple of days. All of these are also pre- menstrual for me, so I'm really overthinking everything and just thinking wishfully that it's a baby! 🙈
