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.

So 2 ned updates for me still getting faint posits but I'm confused as did one last night 11.15pm and got maybe the strongest faint line so far this was a 2 hour wee hold. but this morning fum wee on 8 hour hold is much lighter does this seem right or maybe a start of an early loss?
pic in here is the 11.15pm test last night

@UnicornPrincessSarah I'm so happy for you, congratulations!! Did you test again this morning?

I have had sore boobs since yesterday which as we all know can mean 2 things 😂 AF due Wednesday and haven't tested yet, trying to hold till Wednesday.

My bf and I still haven't recovered from the hard time we're having together now, so I'm not sure how next month will go. I still really want this, and he as well, but have to be honest that we're not doing well now. I hope we get it together soon, I love him more than anything and it's just sad what's happening now, on top of that with trying for a baby really messes with my head.

Have a peaceful Sunday everybody!

Good Morning ladies

@mamataylor So sorry AF come for you, if taking April off I wish you all the luck for May

@YorkshirePeridot Ah Sending you a big virtual hug I understand it can really effect us mentally and physically.

Good morning
@YorkshirePeridot im really sorry. Please be kind to yourself. It will happen, but in the meantime enjoy the wine!
@mamataylor @Grace185 with my first child we tried for 5 months and decided to chill a bit in April as the due date would be Christmas time. Of course I fell pregnant that month and my child’s birthday is one day off Christmas 😵‍💫 but I wouldn’t change it for the world and it’s a special birthday in its own way!!
8dpo and still absolutely no symptoms. Pretty sure I’m out 🥲 Period due in 3 or 4 days.

Grace185 · 24/03/2024 07:09

@mamataylor oh sorry yo hear that! :( if this month doesn't work out for us we plan to have a month off because od that but I think it would be hard as impatient! Hope you're feeling OK about it all! I still haven't got anything but still trying not to think about it too much xx

mamataylor · 24/03/2024 07:02

AF arrived this morning for me! 29 day cycle this time. Back to the drawing board. Not sure whether to have a month off next month as my due date will be 29th December which seems scarily close to Christmas 🙈

@Grace185 how are you this morning?

@YorkshirePeridot sorry you’re feeling down, you’re not alone! I’m so frustrated it’s taking this long for us this time too 😩

Grace185 · 23/03/2024 21:58

@YorkshirePeridot oh I'm really sorry! How long have you been trying?

YorkshirePeridot · 23/03/2024 21:57

Looks like AF is arriving tomorrow so I'm counting myself out and have just poured a commiseration glass of wine. This one hurts the most yet so I'll probably go a bit quiet for a while.

Best of luck to everyone who is still in and congrats to those who have had their bfps xx

Grace185 · 23/03/2024 20:21

@mamataylor I didn't bring any tests with me and I'm working early Monday so it'll likely be Tuesday. I might try wait until Friday as my husband will be off work and I'll be a week late so I don't want my body to play a trick like you said!

@mamataylor Thank you don't want to get hopes up to soon as heard/ read sometimes this can give false positives

For the past week I have had milky white/ yellow CM but only when checking the cervix

Hopefully she stays away for you x

OP posts:
mamataylor · 23/03/2024 19:42

@Grace185 Yeah possibly! I haven’t had any stretching pains either, just some AF cramps from time to time.

I don’t know if I’ll test, I may give it another day but I may feel differently when I wake up tomorrow! I’m never late usually but it may be my body playing a horrible trick on me! Will you test tomorrow?

Grace185 · 23/03/2024 19:22

@mamataylor oh that's a promising sign. Hope she stays away! No sign here either, I don't feel any different which is making me feel slightly unsure. I dont have any pulling like I had with my son but maybe its just because I've already been stretched. Will you test in the morning?

Shortcake06 · 23/03/2024 18:29

@UnicornPrincessSarah that’s definitely a good looking line 😄 love the updates x

mamataylor · 23/03/2024 18:09

@UnicornPrincessSarah can defo see a stronger line today 🥰 congratulations again!
AF hasn’t shown today yet. Going to see if she arrives tomorrow x

mamataylor · 23/03/2024 18:08

@Grace185 no AF yet! I’ve had snotty discharge since about lunchtime today so I’m not sure what to think! Going to see if she arrives tomorrow. How are you? Hope you’re enjoying your weekend away x

Hi @Emilyx00 So AF is due either Wednesday or Thursday as for due date if I am deff pregnant if we go off the last period 29th Feb would be 5th Dec if we of ovulation date is 17th Dec

we DTD this month cycle day 6, cycle day 9, cycle day 12, cycle 13, and cycle day 15 pre mom predicted ovulation this day to
12th March was the prediction of ovulation on flo app this is when I got ovulation pain starting but also 13th in the morning but gone by afternoon.

@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

Thank you this past week all i have wanted to do is sleep lol, my poor workout has taken a hit, last weekend I rested as thought I had a cold coming as had a scratchy throat and just felt a bit off then from Monday was camping and just felt so exhausted, I don't want to sit around doing nothing though lol. hopefully ill find some energy to do a bit of housework as been neglecting that for a week aswell so bad, but I go out for a walk for fresh air then feel drained and I just want my bed or sit on the sofa.

will keep testing daily and keep you all updated

Adamsapple89 · 23/03/2024 10:21

@Shortcake06 so frustrating isn’t it! I also had this spotting last month so assuming it’s just same thing. GP has taken bloods to check all okay including day 21 progesterone to check I’m ovulating so hopefully they’re all okay

@Emilyx00 not currently spotting no it’s intermittent but still crampy

YorkshirePeridot · 23/03/2024 10:05

I took a test this morning, went a bit crazy squinting at it under different lights. Maybe there was something there, more likely it was an indent and a bfn. Trying not to count myself out just yet but I'm still gutted. 12dpo. Wishing everyone else testing this weekend better luck x
