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 ✨❤️

@emmatcc1 @Chaz693 I'm the exact same with the sickness , it didn't let up properly untill 17 weeks, but I know what you mean it got a bit better after 12. Fingers crossed we manage to escape it! But also desperate to be pregnant again, can't win ha!

emmatcc1 · 26/02/2024 23:32

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

@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?

Just finished my period and this will be my first month off the pill TTC. Hope all goes well for everyone else on this thread

The ovulation calculator is throwing me completely, I've looked at Samsung health apparently it starts 22nd March??

I've been on Femodene which is 3 weeks on and 1 week off, not a clue what my usual cycle is as it's been pill controlled until then. Flummoxed!

Who knew you could get fertility friendly lube either!

@Overthinkeroverthirty welcome to the March crew! ☺️

@Chaz693 Awwh I’m sorry to hear March isn’t a good month for you! Got all my fingers crossed for you! Haha you’re due the same day as me I’m going to try waiting till the day !

@Chaz693 it’s such a long time isn’t it, feels more like a month wait haha!
what dates your AF due? Are you going to try hold off to test when you’re due or are you a test lots early? I’ve had to stop doing it early cause I get too upset and stressed and spend a fortune on tests 🤦🏻‍♀️ haha x

It does feel like forever! I'm due on the 10th (mother's day) ironically. March is always a rough month for me with it being the anniversary of my own mums death. so if it's a negative I'll probably just hide away. I'm going to and wait to test but I know as soon as I hit 10dpo I'll probably end up testing. I've never got a positive before 10dpo so I've learnt not to torture myself by testing before that. X

Overthinkeroverthirty · 26/02/2024 18:20

Hi all,

I’d love to join, ovulated super late this cycle (CD25) so it’s pushed me into March and turned it into a 3WW 😂

Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone managed to find a brand of coq10 that isn’t a ginormous capsule? Really struggling with the size of the ones I’ve got but don’t want to just keep ordering similar sized ones ! Haha
how’s everyone coping?
just passed predicted ovulation and my clear blue opk smiley face machine has broken 🤦🏻‍♀️
going to continue dtd for a few days past it anyway, not leaving any chances!

anyone starting the tww now? :)

Can't help with the Coq10 tablets as I feel like I'm taking a horse pill. But I've just started my tww. Already impatient for it to be over and know either way! X

@TTC1990 it's the morning kick blend from bird and blend tea that I use. Really good!

If I track opks I will get obsessive. I already obsessive with my temperature as it is. 😂

Not heard of Maca root.

TTC1990 · 26/02/2024 17:11

Riverstardust · 26/02/2024 15:18

@TTC1990 ugh, I feel for you. I have a tea blend which is good for a natural boost in the morning, think it's ginger and lemongrass!? 🤔

You too. I don't track OPKs as I know it would drive me mental and I'd become obsessed. My smart watch does temperature though so I go off of that and 10 years of tracking my cycle!

Oh that sounds good, I will have to look in to that. Need all the boosting I can get!

That sounds very sensible re testing. I wish I could be more chilled. I tracked temp with my first and it worked, but I keep forgetting this time! Smart watch sounds a good alternative!

Has anyone tried Maca Root? I’m tempted of this cycle doesn’t work, but also heard it can mess up cycles??

Dogscanlookup · 26/02/2024 17:10

@emmatcc1 I need to start tracking bbt! I haven’t up until now but that would really help know which day. Thank you

emmatcc1 · 26/02/2024 16:19

@Dogscanlookup Ovulation happens a day or two after positive opk. Best would be to track bbt as well to confirm ovulation has happened.

LK2610 · 26/02/2024 15:37

@pleurotus @CadoAvo yeah hoping I just missed the surge and it’s not later ovulation cos I really need a break from dtd 😅 I’ll keep testing though just in case

Dogscanlookup · 26/02/2024 15:31

I have a question - I had a positive OPK (static smiley on CB) last night. Does that mean today counts as 1DPO? Or would that likely be tomorrow as I’d likely be ovulating today?
I always get a bit confused how best to work it out!

@TTC1990 thank you, I will definitely give this a try then. Already replaced my caffeine intake with fruit teas, just be aware, will hit you like a brick dropping caffeine!!

Almost exactly the same as me 4th cycle CD7! Fingers crossed this is the one for us both!

I’m already feeling it! My son had me up in the night as well so I’m full on zombie!

Looking forward to hear the updates on your TTC journey. Got everything crossed for us all! I’m going to start taking OPKs on day 10 and go from there 🤞🏻

@Chaz693 I already told my partner he’ll be the first one to look at the ultrasound screen as I’m absolutely terrified of seeing the same thing as last time. I don’t even know how I’ll cope with the anxiety.

Chaz693 · 26/02/2024 15:01

emmatcc1 · 26/02/2024 15:00

@Chaz693 I also experienced stronger ovulation pain than I normally do. I really wanna be pregnant again but I’m dreading the nausea.

I'm the same. Just wish I could skip to 12 weeks pregnant now and see a happy healthy baby on the screen. Don't think I'll believe it till then. X

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has tried any teas? Heard raspberry leaf is good for fertility?

Just want to try anything at this point. I know 4th try isn't a lot but I just want to make sure I've done everything I can!

@Riverstardust My friend who conceived second month told me she drunk raspberry leaf tea so I’ve just started taking it this cycle! Replacing it from my usual coffee and teas throughout the day, as I was aware I was consuming way too much caffeine…

Also my 4th cycle TTC so willing to try anything! CD5 today and just feels like it’s dragging…

Dogscanlookup · 26/02/2024 14:34

@emmatcc1 after my first MC last year I conceived first month trying again. Sadly ended in an another MC in Oct and now this is our 4th month trying. There’s no official medical evidence to being more fertile after an MC in those three months but it also seems common… so hopefully it’ll work out for you!
