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 ✨❤️

What’s everyone’s plans to keep busy the next two weeks? :)

@PlumpHobbit the ovulation sticks or clear blue ovulation testers. If you’re really unsure when it could land there’s nothing harming you doing it everyday from when your AF stops :)

to be honest, I’m jumping to the cheaper pink sticks next month if this isn’t my month. I’m too much of a wanting to rest all the time for peaks so be better to have more sticks :)

Has anyone used the clear blue ovulation stick thing which gives you two days smiley face?
my hand holder broke right on ovulation so I’ve just been going off the blue sticks but they got darker but never as clear as the test line, anyone used them and got a smiley face and able to see how dark the line went on the stick? :)

@PlumpHobbit oooo good luck!
heck, that is quite a way off, maybe take that with a pinch of salt that predicted ovulation time!
are you using any ovulation tests this month or just going for it?

As the calculator is so off, I wonder if I should but as it's so off will it be trickier to time when fo use them?

The one on here seemed more realistic, think it was around the 5th March

@PlumpHobbit I would suggest starting opks to see when you ovulate.

Probably being really thick but what is 0pks?

Dogscanlookup · 27/02/2024 21:35

@holdmydrinks welcome! Good luck for first month!
@Jess1997 I’m also 1dpo! I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such an awful journey so far… I really hope you get some good news this month! When will you be testing? I think I’ll be testing 7th March at 10dpo.
@YaWeeFurryBastard so i dont medically have a short luteal phase but i spot often from 8dpo… ive had scans and nothing abnormal, but i keep wondering if its low progesterone and if that caused my last CP? Might also try these!

YaWeeFurryBastard · 27/02/2024 20:22

Chaz693 · 27/02/2024 20:14

@YaWeeFurryBastard where do you get these test coz I also have a short luteal phase. Never heard of them. X

Amazon, they’re called proov :)

Jess1997 · 27/02/2024 20:17

Hey everyone! I’m 1dpo today so the TWW has begun! However I still have a few cramps today so gonna DTD tonight aswell just incase! i have been TTC for 2 years now.. I’ve had a MMC 2 CPs and an ectopic on my section scar in October so this is my first month of TTC after I had methotrexate to treat that! Crossing everything I have that this is my month 🙃

@YaWeeFurryBastard how does the pdg testing work? This is news to me

It’s a home test to check your progesterone levels on days 7-10 after ovulation. I’m only really doing it because I have a short luteal phase so want to check I’ve got enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy if it happened.

pleurotus · 27/02/2024 19:52

@holdmydrinks I'm also due on the 8th. Are you an early tester or do you have the will power to hold off until missed period?

I'll be testing as soon as possible! I l've been searching what's the earliest date I can do it, I'm thinking this Sunday? How about you?

Please can I join? Month one for me, I'm nearly 40 and trying for my second. I'm 4 DPO and AF due on 8 March and I'd forgotten what a nail biter the TWW is! It's so so slow. Not doing anything special yet except extra vitamins. Lots of luck to you all

12 days to go and the tww is already dragging 😂

Saaaame. Thought I was ovulating today, app has now changed to tomorrow. Was hoping to be 1DPO tomorrow but will have to wait till Thursday now for that milestone 😭😂

Tell me about it! 1DPO here and going to try and hold out until at least day 10. I’ll be testing my pdg days 7-10 so that should give me something to keep me busy 😂

@piechipsgravy @moosey89 Phew, I'm glad the last 3 days haven't been a waste then. We're going to try dtd for 2 more nights and then we'll leave it there this cycle.

Keeping my fingers crossed for our TWW @Dogscanlookup and anyone else who's going into it soon. I can't wait to see some positive tests on this thread! Good luck everyone x

CadoAvo · 27/02/2024 15:52

Same boat as many of you, will be 35 in May so thinking if I don't get pregnant before then I may as well stop trying 🤪
Already looking forward to being classed as a geriatric mum 😂

Dogscanlookup · 27/02/2024 15:16

@moosey89 yeah it’s true, and everyone is different. 35 is that number just thrown at you by medics so it comes with such negative connotations! But you’re right, it doesn’t literally happen the second you blow out your candles 😂

moosey89 · 27/02/2024 12:10

@Dogscanlookup fingers crossed for you - I just passed that 35 age mark! Felt a bit of pressure (although that was as much caused by my 2 due dates that weren't also being in the same fortnight as my birthday). Just remember that there's not a sudden drop off a cliff when you hit 35 in terms of Fertility x

Dogscanlookup · 27/02/2024 12:03

@CadoAvo I would assume tomorrow? I don’t use those types of tests though so I find them a bit alien to read / understand!

@LK2610 not pointless at all! sperm can live up to 5 days and day before is apparently more important. If you can’t hack it, I would have a days break and DTD tomorrow. The third day is generally just to cover all bases incase the egg releases after 48 hours which can happen.

I’m now in the TWW. Will find out a week before my 35th birthday, feeling the pressure…

moosey89 · 27/02/2024 11:54

@LK2610 take a break today and try again tomorrow! You will still be in with a good chance x

piechipsgravy · 27/02/2024 11:46

@LK2610 sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days so that may still be enough!

LK2610 · 27/02/2024 11:14

Good news, I got my peak. Bad news, it’s 3 days later than normal (I was super stressed with work last week so maybe that’s why) — so does this mean the last 3 days of dtd have been completely pointless?

I was working on the assumption that I peaked 3 days ago, so using SMEP, we’ve just dtd 3 days in a row. I’m not sure I can cope with another 3 days in a row 😫 any tips? (Sorry if this is TMI my other half is on the larger size so it hurts if we do it too much) x

Morning all, hope you're all well. My app has predicted today as my ovulation day since period arrived. I've had some lovely consistent high readings (nice to see as last month was a bit all over the place) however this mornings test is still high and I don't have a peak yet. Do you think ovulation will still happen today or would it be tomorrow?
