Would anyone like to join me on the TTC for March 2024

Going into my 3rd month TTC for my rainbow baby after a loss in 2007 at 7 weeks, I'm now 34 (35 in June) and TTC for our first baby with me and my DH

The last 2 cycles my body has played horrible tricks on me, so i have been keeping a log of my symptoms.

I'm not ready to do opks or bbt just yet trying to do natural and less stressful but did have 21 day bloods and day 3 bloods done and the results come back good, i do have PCO cysts in my ovaries and my DH has good sperm he had this tested last year.

@Custardcreammachine thanks, I had one of these last year and they used something on it to take it away. Perhaps it could be that? Just makes me sad seeing it as this is how my MC started and it’s taking me back (although I’m not pregnant!) and I’m worried that the surgery I had has messed up my body.

@UnicornPrincessSarah I totally understand. I have everything crossed for you.. When are you due?

@Adamsapple89 are you still spotting today? How are you?

Shortcake06 · 23/03/2024 09:16

@Adamsapple89 im CD 24 and 7 DPO. So we are pretty much at the same stage!?
From what I’ve read spotting can be positive?
I’ve had no symptoms at all. I have a cold so that’s kind of taking over 😂
@UnicornPrincessSarah Your tests look super promising and I can definitely see progression. Take it easy and be kind to yourself, if your body needs rest that is ok! Congratulations xx

@Herewegoagain0 Thank you, I did an early clue blue 11 dpo in Jan was negative, I was getting negatives on their tests 7 and 9 dpo didn't get maybe a positive till yesterday 10 dpo.

was the lack of sore boobs from 0 to 9dpo that made me test but omg are they sore now lol and going of my orange squash I have every day lol

Yes good idea to wait now and see my partner is a bit skeptical and says not to get my hopes up as we still very early I'm due Thursday myself

@Emilyx00 Thanks we going to hold off on the digital until AF is late as bit scary right now as still very early.

Oh no so sorry to hear that and deff needs to be looked into maybe endo?, I only DTD 4 times this month myself we were meant to do 8 times lol

Custardcreammachine · 23/03/2024 09:05

@Emilyx00 I'm not a doctor but had similar to you about a year ago-spotting daily on wiping, cramping. GP took it really seriously but in the end it was diagnosed as cervical erosion. Sounds scary but they explained that its common and can be due to hormonal changes especially during pregnancy/MC. Mine cleared up itself after about 6 months. Not a doctor but just a thought.

Herewegoagain0 · 23/03/2024 08:58

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah ! I’m either 9 or 10dpo today. BFN yesterday and have decided to just not test anymore and wait and see if AF comes as otherwise it gets so much in my head and it’s all I can think about! Love seeing positives on here though! Hopefully will be able to join you if AF doesn’t appear by Thursday! Xx

Emilyx00 · 23/03/2024 08:52

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’d say that’s defo a positive! It’s darker than yesterday. Take an early digital test! Congratulations x

and I haven’t got a clue what CD I’m on, but I’m still spotting. It’s so annoying. It’s only when I wipe and sometimes it’s there and sometimes it isn’t. I also have cramping, like a heavy feeling in my uterus. I can’t put it down to DTD as I’ve barely had sex and I don’t think I’m pregnant this month but it’s still frustrating that I’m spotting. I haven’t had this before so it’s really thrown me off, trying to stay off google. If it continues next week, I’ll book a GP appointment. Hoping my miscarriage and subsequent surgery has not impacted my fertility health. X

Custardcreammachine · 23/03/2024 08:42

@UnicornPrincessSarah I can see a line!!! Cd 23 for me. Really tired and felt so cold the past few days but think that's just due to lack of sleep! We managed to dtd every day from cd9 through to 18 but missed out cd16 & cd 17 which is when I think I should have ovulated so not holding out much hope. Also didn't have as much ewcm this month or my usual ovulation pains so no idea what's going on. I have been stressing a lot about my age so maybe that's a factor. Hoping to see more good news soon!

@Rosyposy26 Ah sounds like a nice day but also maybe a tiring day is the sun out where you are? when is AF due for you again?

A very faint positive maybe yesterday 10dpo afternoon and this morning FUM 11 dpo

Im not to bad thank you, Just feel like I don't want to do to much though as have cramps and fatigue so going to maybe take it easy and listen to my body, but upset as my workouts I was doing are out the window now lol

Rosyposy26 · 23/03/2024 08:36

@Shortcake06 you’re not alone ♥️ sending lots of baby dust to you and hope you get your bfp soon. We’ll be entering our 5th month trying since MC if AF shows tomorrow.

@Emilyx00 thank you x

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’m doing ok than you! AF is due tomorrow, after a BFN at 12dpo I’m not holding out much hope but let’s see what tomorrow brings! X

Ah fingers crossed she no shows for you x

@Shortcake06 so I’m CD22, I use OPK and ovulated CD14. Yesterday I had pink spotting and today tiny bit of red. Have you ovulated yet, what CD are you ?

@icallshade / @UnicornPrincessSarah I see it on both. Got everything crossed for you xx

@Shortcake06 Totally agree. Wish there was an easier way to get pregnant! I hate the life on hold / can’t plan feeling.

@mamataylor I know! My MC has made me feel the same. You aren’t alone.

@MelonSmoothie hoping you get a positive OPK soon. What CD are you on ?

@Adamsapple89 I’m bleeding too! It’s really worrying me. I haven’t got a clue what it is and why. Have you ovulated yet or are you not tracking?

Thank you trying not to get hopes up to much as amazon has mixed reviews so will test daily AF due 28th and don't really want to waste a more expensive test just yet, will deff keep you posted

Sorry to hear about bleeding could it be ovulation or implanting? if neither and keeps happening deff something you should get looked into

For me I felt fine until 6dpo that's when I started noticing cramps on and off and had the cramps all week but worse today

Hopefully your month for you to

@mamataylor snap. Our miscarriage last year was an unplanned pregnancy.
Now I’m obsessed and it’s been 7 months, I’m about to pass my due date still not pregnant.
Im normally upbeat but today I’m just sick of my body.
@Adamsapple89 aww im sorry that’s frustrating. You could still be in! I just wish I knew if we had been successful so I could crack on with living life (drinking wine)

sorry about the moaning. Just feels like it’s never going to happen. It really cheers me up and gives me hope when I see people getting positives 💖
