March 2025 TTC support group

Anyone have any idea why LH is staying slightly elevated this month?

I've added my chart with previous two months and also a pic of this month 🤔

Still waiting for AF here, was considering testing again but not sure much point if I got a BFN two days ago - frustrated my cycle just seems longer this month and I'd rather just move on to the next one now

@cltw I originally looked at it for steps and sleep so I feel like it will be worth it even without ttc

I think the ring is probably your best bet then. Or I have heard people talk about a tempdrop. I think it is another form of wearable but I'm not too sure tbh, however may be something cheaper to look in to!

Me neither, have never done bbt before but im up with my toddler in the night so not sure how well it will work

How do you guys do this every month?
I only just started trying last month and now my period is due today and I can’t stop thinking about it.
I want to go to the toilet every five minutes and check if it’s come whilst also dreading going to the toilet in case it has come!

I have the worst cramps so trying to remind myself that it very likely will come (I’ve only had two periods since coming off the pill so unsure of what will be regular for me at this moment.) My strange thing which seems to be the opposite for most is that about five days before my last two periods, my nipples have been so sore whereas this time they are absolutely fine!

This is my first time trying and I feel very out of the loop with all of the acronyms on here!

Yeah I think it's as accurate as anything can be, but I never used a thermometer so I cant really compare

I’m thinking the exact same, I’ve wanted one for a while but after my loss I feel like it’s a nice treat 🤣🤣

I’ve been looking at the oura ring, have you found it accurate at pinpointing ovulation?

Anyone due to test soon?

Af is due today i think cd29 i have no intention of testing until Monday next week if no Af by then.

Oh thank you! Wish I had known that before I signed up for NC. That was my second period tracker subscription so not sure I can justify three 😅.

Hi all,

Also jumping over from Feb threads. On CD21 and doesn't look like I'll be ovulating in time to test in Feb. No idea where it is. Think I tend to have two LH surges and not sure where the second one is yet.

@AlbatrossSociety @ThisAquaOP I found out last month that you can link the oura ring with fertility friend for free. Annoyingly I have already paid for NC for the year but I prefer the chart on fertility friend anyway so I just use that now

Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️
That's so kind

Unfortunately AF is here, hardly slept last night as cramps were so bad , makes it even worse when you don't even want it doesn't it!!!!

Should be picking my husband up today, thank you again.

Sending lots of positive vibes xx

@Tia22 so sorry to hear this especially on an already stressful day. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. Also you are never out until it’s a full flow! But I know sometimes it’s worse to keep that hope - I’ve been there ❤️. I’ll be thinking of you.

@AlbatrossSociety ahh that’s a lovely gift! Can he have a word with my husband please 😂. Yeah I’ve seen that you have to do a subscription with Oura then also NC which seems a pain. Thank you for sharing though as it’s good to know the ins and outs before I take the plunge!

I know it's rubbish. I am just wanting AF to get here too now so I can move on to the next cycle will you test again if it doesn't show in the next few days?

Ah same here, we got pregnant the first month with my son too (now just over 2) we've been trying properly this time 3 months but I came off the pill in June. It's so hard looking back and wishing you'd started sooner but I guess got to try and focus on looking forward now and trusting that what's meant to be will be I guess!

I bought the expensive ckear blue OPKs so will carry on with them for this month as the premom app is to use with the cheaper ones isn't it showing lines? I've got a thermometer too and considering giving temping a go too

Started having a little bleeding now, still a small amount and pink? But, probably AF coming I guess.

Have had quite a stressful day as my husband has been having an op and only came out a couple of hours ago. So this would top it off ahhhhh xx

It's so hard Sunshine. Even though I know in my heart I'm not pregnant until AF arrives there's always just that wee thought of maybe maybe maybe.

DD is 4.5 and getting pregnant was a breeze. First cycle trying wham bam done. So I think that gave me false confidence that a second would be easy but now I'm 36 and slightly kicking myself we didn't just go for it a few years ago.

OPK are tricky it can be so easy to miss your peak. Have you used the Premom app? Gonna give it another go this month and see if I can really narrow down my O Day. Also have dug out an old thermometer so might give temp a go this month too.

Just need AF to arrive it's so rubbish just waiting in limbo

I literally have no motivation this month, the thought of going through that heartbreak again is so scary. Emotional rollercoaster with none of the highs it feels like at the moment!

I'm going to use OPKs to detect peak and d2d peak day hopefully the day before and after and really try not to get my hopes up!

To make things worse DH is having a gut scan next month and has to take radioactive dye which I'm assuming might affect his sperm!

Hi! Hoping to ttc again in March, just waiting for my period post ectopic rupture. I’m also breastfeeding my first still so feel like that makes things a bit more difficult too!

Also joining from the Feb thread - AF due today (, no sign yet) but had a BFN yesterday so assuming on its way! Also feeling the sadness today @BelBabe
@BelBabe how old is your first? To answer your question def not every night!! I think they say every other day is just as good. Think we are going to try that from day 10 to day 20... Tried OPKs last month but no peak detected so no idea what's going on but decided we'd just go for covering the whole period if we can. I have regular periods and EWCM so hoping I've just missed my peak somehow with the tests and ovulation still happens.

Hey guys hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread. Technically due today but AF hasn't appeared but I know I'm definitely not pregnant lots of BFN's, I may have just ovulated later.

But the disappointment has hit hard this time, as there was that wee glimmer of hope! But it has shown me that i definitely want no2 after being a bit on the fence. So throwing myself fully into it now!

When does everyone plan to DTD? I don't think I've the stamina for every night 😆

Was thinking if I ovulate on the 1st, do 26th, 28th and 2nd maybe?

Hi everyone, joining from the Feb chat as AF arrived today which I'm not too shocked about as we only dtd once during my window. This is month 5 ttc for us since I started tracking with ovulation tests

My partner got me an oura ring for valentines day for temp tracking. It's a bit annoying as you kind of have to use it with natural cycles, it doesn't communicate with any other app and it doesn't give you an actual temperature, just a change from baseline. It also takes 2 months to learn your baseline. Having said all that, I do like it and feel like it's helpful for tracking lots of aspects of health. But I have had to download natural cycles as well otherwise the temperature tracking thing is a bit useless.

I hope I ovulate early this month so I don't have to wait so long for the TWW to start but at the same time I want to ovulate later so the egg has time to mature but how do you stay entertained 😂 I can't with all this wait TTC

Omg I could have written your message 😂😂 I completely understand all of this. Sounds like we've probably been trying for a similar amount of time with that cycle number haha! We will get there

I was tempted my the ring a few months ago but didn't when I saw the price. I take my temp every morning but would be interested to hear about the ring, will try anything at this point!

Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🥹 I have been really cramping again, so I think it's probably coming but not out until AF arrives I guess.... Temp was down again this morning though.

TTC is just so hard xx
