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.

@Rosyposy26 I feel the same. We ideally didn't want a Dec baby but I think we don't care anymore. We were just going to try and have a more relaxed approached this time but would like AF to come now just to get back to normal!

Rosyposy26 · 26/03/2024 13:40

@Grace185 im 4 days late going on last cycle but before MC in feb I am
27/28 normally which will be tomorrow or day after. I have no symptoms of anything this month dtd loads but hasn’t worked as all tests are BFN. Just want AF to come so can start again

Grace185 · 26/03/2024 13:34

@Rosyposy26 how late are you now? Did anything happen for you this month? I was really ill and on antibiotics but thought it was well after ovulation and assume that that would have been the only reason being late if the illness delay ovulation. But now I'm annoyed as we haven't DTD since befote I was ill and know wondered if I ovulate after and noe in the TTW without knowing and haven't got a chance and just have to wait. Its really rubbish waiting isn't it!

@Montelukast I felt just the same way when I didn't get pregnant the first month trying! I don't know which bc you used but I've always been told that it can take up to 6 months for your body to be completely rid of those hormones.

I am currently around 8dpo and I have noticed literally 0 symptoms. Those who remember; last month I thought I had everything and ended up with around 10 BFN 🤣 I will test on Wednesday.

I think you are right and there is a delay to fertility, but as a healthcare professional myself it’s not really the story we are told! From research papers etc it seems any delay to fertility has disappeared by a year and many sources say it can be between three to twelve weeks. Who knows ! I hope it’s not six months :p I wish I had come off my pill sooner and used barrier methods until we decided to start trying.
I definitely think my periods are taking time to return to the ‘strength’ they used to be as well, and last month I didn’t get discharge signifying ovulation either :(

Grace185 · 26/03/2024 08:57

@UnicornPrincessSarah any news?

Af still not here and still negative :( decided I need to forget about it now and try focus on other things

I’m with you still BFN and no AF either.

Grace185 · 26/03/2024 10:39

@Shortcake06 Yeah it sucks. I'd like AF to come now. We are planning to have a relaxed month of not really trying but not stopping it and just DTD when we want. We have lots of DIY to do and focusing on getting our bedroom done so we can move into it so gonna think about that now. Just need AF to come as its hard to not think about until it arrives!

Shortcake06 · 26/03/2024 09:20

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!

Loving the positives @icallshade and @UnicornPrincessSarah good luck ladies!!
Thinking I'm definitely out this month, no symptoms either way but we missed dtd two days over ovulation and with one tube down, I'm out of hope for any kind of miracle! Hope everyone else has a little more luck.

ah sending hugs and hopefully your be joining us soon x
