TTC March 2024 ❤️✨

Thank you I can’t sleep thinking about the possibility! Going to do a digital first thing

Does FMU still count if you haven’t been to sleep? 😁

@MaybeWeShouldGoToEastbourne i think you need to go to eastbourne to celebrate your bfp!!! Xxxxxx

Hey gang - think I'm out this month. Took a test this morning at 12DPO and BFN! Was feeling hopeful as BBT is still high and I usually see a drop by now ahead of AF. On to the next cycle and hopefully a Christmas baby! X

Hi All!

First time TTC, third cycle, got our hopes up last month cause AF was a week late!

13 DPO - just got this result - I may have flooded the test, could that give this weird thin line?

Thanks @PuddleJump enjoy your break. AF has arrived this morning and DH is away so taking it easy with bedtime cuddles with the cat.

Fertility Friend says that a baby this month would have a due date of 27th December! Not ideal but hopefully means a more relaxed TTC and TWW this time. Best of luck for May.

Oh I'm sorry @CoolSummer89, definitely onwards and upwards and really hope April is the month for you.

I am also out, negative at 14DPO and the start of AF coming through now. Why is nature so cruel that you find out you're not pregnant when you're at your most emotional because of AF arriving.

I will be giving TTC a break in April too as DH isn't keen on a Christmas baby. So hopefully May is the month, feels like a long way away right now.

Really hope you get a BFP @Okeydokedeva and everyone else too!

@Okeydokedeva thank you!!! Fingers crossed for you guys!!!

@Simplespell27 @Riverstardust congrats - lovely news! I have a few more days to wait as on embryo transfer tww. Today should be the first day of my period but progesterone stops it …. Official test date Tuesday not we decided to go for monday as ds and dh are off for a little trip Tuesday and I want a day to process results as a family with his support, either way.

I haven’t been too obsessed by it, but technically I am ‘pregnant till proven otherwise’ as I know there is an embryo in there, not waiting to see if egg has met sperm.

fingers crossed- it’s our last try xxx

When it was your first time coming off the pill (I've been on it since about 18) how long until you got your first period?

I did last month's period then didn't go back on it, I had a light bleed I think a couple of days after I'd have gone back on it for a day, needed pads

Currently now is when I'd be having my week off the pill and my period. I've had raging cramps earlier in the week (and I went on the pill in the first place because they were debilitating) and the usual headache (I'm headache prone) but usually I'd start my period on the Wednesday to Friday, but nothing as yet - if it doesn't appear while I'm at work is it worth picking up a test on the way home?

Or is my cycle just all over the place because it's used to being so regimented?

Only other possible symptom is I had what I consider elite crisps yesterday (chili sensations) and they tasted really weird, however I've also had chilli Doritos recently and they were fine so maybe the b**s have just changed the recipe - have another pack today to test

Nothing else really points towards it having worked, and I'm sure it's just slightly delayed later and I'll go to the loo and the bleed will be there.

I don't want to buy a test only to get an unreliable or negative, but kind of just want to know - although it's hard as technically it may not be late as it's my first time off the pill so this may be the new normal!

Evening ladies,

I’m out! AF arrived today. We are giving April a break as my partner isn’t too keen on the idea of a Xmas baby, and to be honest I’m finding TTC a bit much! On to cycle 5 TTC in May!

Wishing everyone all the luck and baby dust! Thanks for the support! X

I think I'm out as had BFN this morning at 12DPO. AF due this weekend. Onto month 4 TTC. X

@catmumma84 ah I am sorry. I know you are genuinely happy for her but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a little sad/gutted for you at the same time. It will absolutely happen for you too, it’s just a bit of a lottery.

AF is def on way for me, the first glimpse of pink has arrived. Feeling pretty onwards and upwards about it all. Although I just remembered that I had scheduled a smear test for next week just in case I didn’t get pregnant, why does past me like to prank future me in this way 😅

I hope I don’t see either of you in the April thread @PuddleJump and @catmumma84 - but if I do you ladies make great company 😘

i wish I’d just be put out of my misery too!
just found out my friend is pregnant, didn’t know she was trying or even really wanted children, obviously happy for her but it was a real shock to hear.
I caved and did a test - BFN two days before AF due, 13dpo

@PuddleJump same here! Had all the classic pre-AF signs yesterday. Cramps, sore boobs, then had a bit of pink when I wiped before I went to bed. Woken up this morning and they have all mostly gone now. Just wish she would arrive and release me from the TWW hell 😈

Hi @ChristinaB1203 I have definitely heard of people who have bad sickness feeling nauseous before their BFP so could be a positive sign.

I think I am out. I'm 13DPO BFN this morning and then have been getting heavy feeling cramps which feel like AF might be just round the corner.

Hope you don't mind me jumping on.
Currently 9dpo, tested today but BFN (early I know).
I had HG with my first pregnancy ended up in hospital for dehydration. I have had all day nausea since yesterday, trying really hard not to be sick.
Can you get pregnancy symptoms before BFP?

@catmumma84 31! I live in London and you would practically be considered a teen mum round here :)

The fact that bleeding has stopped sounds really promising. See if you can at least hold out for first wee of the morning, more likely to show something that way.

Aahhh sounds like me 🙈 wore a pad all day yday and nothing. Risked it today, still nothing. What day did you get your IB? Sorry if I’ve got stories mixed up here!
i think it’s too early to test if the spotting at 10dpo was IB, now at 12dpo.
it’s nice to hear everyone else’s stories isn’t it, makes you feel slightly less crazy and alone!

I knew they the levels were a bit high due to a blood test at the docs but didnt know at that time the range it should be in to conceive..! I wanted to know my AMH level tbh altho apparantly it doesn’t really mean all that much. I’m 31 and panicking but glad to hear you are chill 😃 best of luck !

my period still hasn’t come after the very very pale minimal spotting I had two days ago at 10pm (I think it was) but tested negative last night, feel like it’s too soon to test again tonight but who knows what the willpower will be like when I get in lol

@Riverstardust congratulations that’s great news 😊 gives me hope all these cramps I’ve been having might not be AF after all 😬

This is exactly how I felt, I wore pads for 4 days so I could see really clearly the moment AF arrived and then hating the hope, was saying just want either a positive or AF to come so we can get on with trying again.

@TTC1990 Ive been testing every day since 10dpo with early tests and All BFN. I threw them all away immediately to stop me peaking and getting excited at evap lines. Then did one 16dpo which was negative but didn't throw away and saw a line post 10 mins. Tested again the following day and had the faintest line but didn't get darker until after the 5 mins so didn't believe it, so finally did the one I pictured on 18dpo and confirmed with a digital.

@YorkshirePeridot thank you. I'm so sorry if you had that pain also, never had anything like it before! Keeping my fingers crossed it's a positive sign!!

Congrats @Riverstardust , what you described is how I also felt last night so I'm going to see it as a good sign! Hopefully it was a one off for you and the next nine months go smoothly.

@TTC1990 thank you! Definitely, you're not out until AF appears! I thought for sure I was out again this month!

@CoolSummer89 thank you! At the moment it seems to have been a one off!

Congrats @Riverstardust !! So so lovely to hear, and also reminds us all there is hope!

I’m still getting BFN’s and AF due Friday, but I’m hanging in there until she arrives!
