TTC March 2023

Hey I'd love to join you guys please ☺️

I'm currently 7dpo I think... going off my cm I've been dreadful with my bbt this month! And I have pcos so I usually ovulate around cd23 but I think it was earlier this month (cd17)

I've had slight cramps yesterday and today, cm has been very unusual for me this month since ovulation...

I think AF is due around 26th March I plan to test from tomorrow 8dpo because I loveeeeeee to POAS 😂

I've ordered opks for April's cycle and I'll be using my ovusense to tract bbt religiously if AF shows 🙃

I hope we all get our BFP this cycle 🥰

Welcome @HannahLouD haha yeah I know how you feel it's a long wait, this cycle started with MC for me so currently on day 29 of my cycle- still over a week to go before I'm due AF, tho I guess it could come any time now! Goodness knows... only 7dpo though 😂

Hi everyone 😊

Can I join? I'm a big 1dpo! 😅

Had a chemical pregnancy last month on our second cycle ttc so this is cycle no. 3. Chemical messed up this cycle and I ovulated late on cd19... It's felt like a really long month as I didn't bleed until nearly a week after I realised I was having a cp (lines stalled) and then also the delayed ovulation. Feels like the tww has taken forever to come round and now let even more waiting begin! 😂

Heard so many success stories the month after having a chemical... Trying really hard not to get my hopes up but it's tricky!

Hope everyone's doing ok! x

Aww sorry to hear about your baby. Must be really hard. Hopefully soon.

@Un7breakable I'm feeling down too, everyone in the group I was in are announcing their pregnancies around this weekend and I lost my baby, it's not been bothering me too much but this weekend feels sucky, everyone posting happy Mother's Day etc, it just feels a bit rubbish... I'm not seeing my own mum as I'm 3 hours drive away, tho I am seeing her in a few weeks but yeh...

Both my mum and sister have been hinting about us having but no one knows about the MC so it makes it harder! It's not like we're not trying 🙈 hope you're ok x

Feeling very down today. Spent the weekend surrounded by small children and getting asked if we wanted them, then started spotting this morning so I'm probably out this month. AF due Thursday.

@Pitstop1986 nope no ideas cos it's the same over here 😂😂 7dpo and not feeling much today except I'm super grumpy and emotional but that could just be PmS 😂

My cm has dried up, so I'm restarting the tww today, calling today 1dpo and I'm estimating that AF will be due on 1st April.

Has anyone got any ideas how to keep myself distracted and to stop myself going mad over the next two weeks symptom spotting?!

@ELJ1502 I've read SMEP but don't stick to it by the book... our usual timing is every 2 days anyway and then we time around ovu trying to hit all 5 days - 3 days before, day of and 1 day after, then we tend to go back to every 2, which usually falls in roughly with SMEP anyway if I'm right?

Natural cycles seems a decent app, I almost went for that one but I'm using fertility friend, but scanning tests in Premom cos it basically lays it out in numbers for you around opk time, which is better! Fertility friend is better for BBT... so I just use both 😂

Has anyone else tried the SMEP before?

@Pitstop1986 sounds like you are restarting the DPO countdown, haha least it sounds like you've been dtd at the correct times!

@ELJ1502 welcome! I'll be planning to
Test around the time my period is due which will be around the weekend of 26th!

@suz2285 I thought that I was about 3dpo, but looks like I might have to restart. Once this ewcm changes, I'll start from 1dpo again. Technically I've had ewcm since Sunday, with a day break on Wednesday, which I thought was ovulation, then it started thick and fast again on Thursday! Still getting it today, but yesterday there was loads! I had to wipe a couple of times after doing a wee to make myself feel dry and it was thick on the toilet paper (sorry tmi!) Definitely ewcm, I like to check and stretch it between my fingers

@ManifestingBaby2023 I stopped all contraception in November but we didn’t actively start trying until January as o wanted to give my body the chance to remove the hormone.

We did the same with my first and we conceived in the April.

I think the worst part is the not knowing. You can do everything you think is right and still not conceive. I love Natural Cycles as it puts everything pretty plain and simple 😂

Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to join :)

I’m 31 and TTC baby 2; we’re on cycle 3. My cycle is pretty regular at 31 days. I had a LH high on CD19 and BBT rise CD21. My Natural Cycles App predicted this was ovulation. My period is due 24/03.

We’ve tried SMEP this month so we’ve given ourself a good chance.

I’m feeling very bloated and my boobs are really sensitive - however I’m not sure if it’s just reading into things too much.

When will you all be testing? Technically first response should work from today/ tomorrow but I don’t want to set myself up for disappointment as I’ve seen so many chemicals lately.

Sorry! Tagged the wrong person! That was meant to be directed at @Pitstop1986 😂

@pm24 how many dpo are you? I've been having tons of cm too but it's watery/creamy not fertile cm (I don't think - mine is different anyway) and I'm sure I had this while early pregnant last time!

4-6 dpo here so far with much more cm! Maybe it doesn't mean anything but it doesn't always mean ovulation, I've also got mild cramps the last few days 4-6 dpo as well... who knows 😂 could just be AF getting ready!

I've been having lots of cm for the last 48 hours, so I'm guessing the first lot was my body truing to ovulate and failing, and now I'm going again?! Hard to tell without any ovulation tests left!!

Hello girls hope you don’t mind me joining… currently on my tww too… 4-6dpo atm, not sure as cycles are a bit longer some months after mmc last July .
baby dust to everyone and hope this months is full of bfp’s :)

Hi! I'm 2dpo(ish) - I ran out of ovulation test sticks, but going by my cm and guessing that ovulation was on Wednesday, althoughit could have been yesterday...

Not holding out too much hope as only dtd on Sunday and last night and have had Covid this week.

This is cycle 4 of me ttc dc #2

I'll hop on, I've had three days of flashing smiles on ovulation tests so a bit behind but hoping for the March conception none the less x

5 dpo over here! Also joined in another few threads...

Time is dragging as usual 😂
