Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in March 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Feb to March! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

Very true… thank you guys ❤

TTC1990 · 09/03/2024 20:07

@catmumma84 that is how I conceived my first so do not worry!

I just have no clue what is happening with my cycle. Still on those bloody flashing smilies at CD17. Had a day of EWCM 2 days ago and now it’s dried up. Have I missed it? Feeling so frustrated now 😭

Has anyone become pregnant after drinking the day their ovulation / dtd? I’m out for a friend birthday and had several drinks and wondering now if I’ve made a really stupid mistake, I got peak ovulation Thursday evening and dtd and then yesterday (Friday) evening and now out for drinks. Hopefully ife not really effed things up if it was going well :( I just keep thinking of my friend who has her baby now and she was drinking whilst Ttc … 🙈

If you think about how many women in human history have gotten pregnant from 'a drunken night', I'm sure you'll be fine! Enjoy your night out.

9dpo today for me, I've been feeling a bit nauseous yesterday and today. Also had a bit of a temperature last night with a mild headache. Not feeling 100% tbh, but these could still all be AF symptoms annoyingly, I'm due on Thursday but will be testing a couple of days early as DH will be away on my due date. Just hoping it's good news!

emmatcc1 · 09/03/2024 17:55

@LindyMoe Af arrived for me today as well. We have all kind of moved to april ttc thread, you’re welcome to join there

LindyMoe · 09/03/2024 17:48

May I join?
AF arrived today and I'm deflated

Mumsnet got me through ttc for baby No1 so excited to comeback for positive vibes for the next one.

DS is 4 so hoping to conceive this year

Smithyb · 09/03/2024 17:36

I've just posted on the March-April TTC post as I think I'm out for this month but thought I would post here as well to see if anyone has had similar experience and resulted in BFP

I had a big dip 7dpo (35.74) it went to 36.02 the next day and today it went up again to 36.09.
Has anyone had a big dip and then increased gradually and got BFP ?

Riverstardust · 09/03/2024 16:33

Hey,

Hopefully some of you can understand this better than I can.

I thought BBT stayed up until a few days before your period? And that you needed 3 increases in temperature to prove ovulation. Does that mean I haven't ovulated this month? 😟😔

TTC March 2024 ❤️✨
ThingsLineUp · 09/03/2024 16:04

I'm still in for March. 8dpo today with AF due on Thursday. Got a positive progesterone test this morning after two days of negative ones so that's reassured me I did ovulate this month. Standard, mild, pms-ey symptoms but nothing out of the ordinary. I think I'll try to hold out till Monday to test but might do tomorrow.

BFN today at 12dpo! Stupidly can't lose hope as my dpo is based off an app which said I ovulated on CD14 when my cycles tend to be 30-32 days long. Also didn't realise my cheapies are the 25mlu of hgc rather than 10! No doubt be very disappointed when AF shows herself next week on Tuesday or Wednesday but will see people in the April chat for Xmas babies 😊

@Dogscanlookup to add to above I was lucky enough to convince my first cycle one, but know a couple that took 6 months, one that took 12 and one that took 3. Really is look of the draw!

Me too @SummerSun24 , BFN today on a Clearblue Ultra Early, 12DPO. AF due on Monday (the day we go on holiday - hoping that’ll take my mind off TTC!).

I’ve just joined this thread, better head over to the new one! Fingers crossed for Christmas babies all round.

Simplespell27 · 09/03/2024 11:27

Trying so hard not to symptom spot. Today is 9dpo, decided not to test until tomorrow but just burst into tears watching Crufts because I just love dogs so much - although I wouldn't put that past me on any day!

LK2610 · 09/03/2024 10:57

Thanks @RW269 I'll try to persuade him to cut down. It's how he de-stresses (or having a beer) so I feel bad asking him to give up all of his de stressors 😂

Sorry should of tagged @YaWeeFurryBastard !

RW269 · 09/03/2024 10:33

@LK2610 here’s hoping it could still be your month! If not a December double birthday for you could be lovely!

my husbands the same he has long hot baths probably for like 45 mins to an hour but we researched and that can lower the quality of sperm apparently though it was quite a lot of places saying that so he’s (reluctantly) cut down to two long baths and showers the rest of the nights in hope it helps 😂

It’s a negative on a clearblue early test for me at 10DPO today. I know there’s still a small chance but I really do feel like AF is just around the corner. I’ll stick around here to see how you all get on🤞and then move to the April thread.

My partner is a Christmas baby so it’d be cool if we managed to conceive and they shared a birthday.

Please can you share your TTC tips? At the moment I’m eating well, trying to reduce alcohol (like just one or two drinks on a Saturday) and we’re using the SMEP. I’m taking folic acid and omegas. Is there anything else I should be doing that’s important?

My partner loves his baths and has one every night. Should he cut down or is that and old wives tale? Thanks 😊

TTC1990 · 09/03/2024 10:07

I’ll be sticking round this one for another couple of weeks, but will most likely see some of you in the festive baby thread. Hopefully not! 🤞🏻

Who is still in for this month?

I’m CD17 and STILL getting that flashing smiley…it’s costing me a fortune now!

Dogscanlookup · 09/03/2024 08:51

i took conceived second month with my daughter at 31, 4th month with second pregnancy and 1st month with last. This was our forth cycle this time so it’s taken us longest this round! But my body has been through a lot in the last year and 35 next Saturday.

moving over to the other group now… congrats again to all the BFPS 💜

YaWeeFurryBastard · 09/03/2024 08:36

@RW269 @CadoAvo thank you! I only ever seem to hear people who fell pregnant first go or took years, so it’s good to hear the in between ones.

CadoAvo · 09/03/2024 08:27

YaWeeFurryBastard · 09/03/2024 06:53

Congrats all those getting positive tests! @RW269 thats a good sign, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼.

My period arrived this morning bang on time so I’m definitely out this time ☹️. Would any of the ladies getting positives this month kindly share how many cycles it’s taken them? April will be cycle 3 for us so I’m hoping you can give me some hope!

I’m definitely up for an April thread, roll on those Christmas babies! Hope to see as few of you on there as possible 🤪.

Sorry to hear that, fingers crossed next month is your month and you have a lovely Christmas present at the end of the year 🥰

This was cycle 2 for us, first baby, feeling extremely lucky and still waiting for it to sink in.

RW269 · 09/03/2024 08:10

@YaWeeFurryBastard Awwh I’m so sorry to hear that 😞

im cycle three at the moment, I personally know two couples who are pregnant at the moment, one of them took 2 months one took 6 months so try not to worry too much! ☺️ we will all get there 🤞✨

I’ve made a little April Christmas baby thread for anyone who wants to jump over at all! Though obv feel free to stay on this one too still a lot of March to go haha! ☺️✨

@Dogscanlookup yes true and also I can have a big cocktail on my holiday now.

RW269 · 08/03/2024 23:50

This is so exciting seeing everyone’s news and excitement!

im personally just baffled, did another test this evening. The faintest of faint lines, after yesterdays stronger looking test I’m worried this isn’t going to go in the right direction but here’s hoping only time will tell 🤞🤞🤞
