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.

@Herewegoagain0 I'm sorry to hear. How many have you had?
I'm going through one too straight after a MMC. It's shit.

@Herewegoagain0 oh no I'm so sorry to here this, how do you confirm/ know what a chemical is, do test just keep getting lighter? and then cramps and bleeding, sorry if wrong to ask but never known how it all works but I know they say anything before 5 weeks is a chemical

Herewegoagain0 · 27/03/2024 18:44

Just an update - I’m having an another chemical, having had one back in Jan. Today’s tests are considerably lighter than yesterday and about the same as my first one on Monday. Wishing happy healthy pregnancies for those of you pregnant! On to the next month… x

Do you think there could be a possibility it could have been implantation as read some people have different sorts and mistake a period for implantation sometimes,

it's a good idea to test 3 to 6 days after the implantation bleeding (spotting) stops from google

If it is then it's super late as I'm now 16dpo, tested this morning and still negative 😑

Custardcreammachine · 27/03/2024 07:51

So I have had extreme tiredness for the past week and yesterday into today had tingly but not quite painful boobs. Last felt this when I was pregnant so did a test this morning and... Negative! Just a cheapy Boots own brand one but AF is due on Sat so think it's accurate. Feeling deflated probably like many others here. Anyone have any positive stories following ectopic surgery? Really think I've had my run of luck getting pregnant and feel so down today.

Hi all !
im really confused I hope someone could help. I am today on the first day of my ‘fertile window’ but my LH is half what it was yesterday in the ovulation test. I’ve had a ton of clear stretchy egg white discharge today. I did however test my LH later on in the evening today rather than the afternoon (yesterday) has anyone else had really different results at different times of day so much so it makes that much difference ?
I also had really high sex drive at the weekend, but I’m not due to ovulate for a few days ?

Maybe the antibiotics did mess up your cycle this month if the test has been negative then hopefully not though

I don't know what's going on with my period. After it seeming to start on Sunday evening and getting horrendous cramps overnight, I seem to have ended up with just brown spotting since. Not enough to even make it onto a pad. I don't know whether to count it as my next cycle starting or not 🤷‍♀️

Oh no sorry to here still negative tests it annoying when we don't know what is going on with our body, hopefully you either get BFP soon or the witch comes and you can get back to trying.

@Rosyposy26 I've never used OPKs as I think it would push me over the edge but now kinda annoying as I have no idea if and when I ovulated this month and why I'm late! Yeah I cut everything out every month which just makes me sadder haha!

I dont use opk or BBT what we did is sex every 3 days starting from my period ending and was due to stop 3 days before I was due but as I got funny 16th and then hubby with tooth infection to we really wasn't in the mood still haven't been either lol

I also look at what flo and pre mom still suggest maybe ovulation and fertile week and say app was wong it would only be off 1 week really but I have heard some people get ovulation sometimes after period has just ended

Good morning!
@UnicornPrincessSarah how are things this morning?
@Montelukast good luck with your fertile period!
@Grace185 this time is super difficult, the waiting is the worst part. Take care of yourself 💕 there’s always a chance it could still be your month.

Im now 10dpo. Have very sore boobs now and still have a rotten cold. Will not be doing any testing this month as the negatives are too depressing!

Deff wait to see if AF comes or not if late then test as the cold could be something sending hug and fingers crossed

It makes me test to early and I get hopes up then crashing down so this month I’m not going to.

@Grace185 exactly how I feel going to take prenatals and keep on eye on CM and carry on DTD and taking stress out the OPK were causing stress. the month I did fall I had Xmas parties drinking wasn’t really trying last month cut everything out nothing happened 😂
