March 2025 TTC support group

Hi all, jumping over from previous threads. Entering fertile window of cycle #485928 for us 😂or so it feels.
Does anyone use an Oura ring? If this isn’t my cycle, I’m tempted to get one because obviously a £300+ smart ring is going to be the answer! Or so I’ve told my husband ha. Honestly so sick of it all now, I think TTC gives you such a sense of fatigue. On a positive note, @Tia22 crossing fingers and toes for you lovely 💕 Keep us updated.

It's so cruel isn't it, getting the same symptoms leading up to AF as pregnancy, how cruel!

Thank you, I really hope so. I think I'm about day 10 post ovulation so still time, but it's just that my temp has gone lower this morning, that normally means AF is coming .... Hopefully not!! xx

@Tia22 could be implantation bleeding 🙏if you ovulated last week, still early days so in with a chance. Same drove myself crazy and feel like I had all the signs😔xx

@SureLook so sorry for your loss. It's a painful wait! Hope AF comes quickly for you xx

Bless you, it's just horrible isn't it. Every month feel like I drive myself crazy thinking of all options and trying to keep hope.

From my app, it thinks I ovulated Weds or Thurs ? I did a test Friday morning and it was negative, wasn't going to test again today but thought I didn't want to put myself through that especially with the temp going down.
Sorry for way tmi (but I know this is what we do haha) erm when I wiped earlier it was dark so either period is coming or could that be something else? I've had cramps since day 4/5 post ovulation xx

Hi ladies. I'd like to join too if that's ok. I'm hoping to be able to start TTC for #2 in March. I've tested negative since having a D&C for an MMC nearly two weeks ago now. So I'm eagerly awaiting AFs arrival so that we can start. I've never wanted my period to start so badly in my life!

@Tia22 when is AF due? x

I've had a weird cycle this month been spotting for the last week when wiping got hopes up it was implantation lol. All tests negative so no idea if I ovulated and if my next cycle has even started?! Tempted to try tracking bbt next month or just to "relax" 🥴 and DTD every other day x

Hi everyone, I've come over from the last month's support group, hope everyone's ok.

AF isn't here yet but my Natural Cycles temp went down today so feel like I'm out again 😭😭😭😭

Yes, finally, arrived this morning. I'm really relieved to be on to a new cycle, I do feel more positive immediately so I'm hoping yours arrives soon and you get the same relief. It is sooo frustrating waiting for it, hope it's not too long for you.

@AlbatrossSociety Has she arrived?

I am now SIX days late and NADA!!!! Getting really annoyed with her not appearing. I just want to start the next cycle!!

@Digby86 thank you! We will get there in the end! I am very lucky and already have 2 boys so I am feeling very grateful for them!
im on CD5 now so going to keep my eye on the signs for ovulation and hopefully this is our month!
really would like to avoid a December baby as my eldest is 9th December and it’s a very stressful month having his birthday so close to Christmas 🤣

Hopping over from Feb too - AF arrived yesterday for me. Had a chemical last month. I'm using Mira to track ovulation, finding it really really great but so expensive!

I’m joining from the Feb thread too. Cd10 for me today so we’re in FW. Cycle 2 ttc #2

Goodness me, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such a heartbreaking journey to date. Really hoping things go well for you this time around

Hopping over from the Feb chat as AF arrived today. Already not got much hope for this cycle as I’m retiring to work from mat leave and DD is starting nursery, so I know I’m going to be stressed!

Also hopped over from feb board- CD7 and really on fence whether to just try and do a cycle of using app fertile window again as has seemed accurate past 2 cycles within about 24 hours for ovulation. I did buy a bbt thermometer but im just not sure will be any good as do shifts and toddler still wakes up random hours in night!

reading comments seems like a few in same boat of weighing up how much testing to do etc! Good luck to all for this valentines cycle xx

Joining from Feb thread, CD2 today.

Been having really bad nausea before and during my period since I stopped the pill, to the point that I threw up this morning. Also a mild fever and dizziness. Never had this before having my son, and I really hope it's not a regular thing now :(

@LilyADU TTC our first here too so it's all new to me! We are early 30s but have known issues both sides so if nothing happens within 6 months I think we can speak to the doctor at that point. Which although I don't want that to happen it's weirdly making me more relaxed that there's not too many months to go!

@BerrieSweet exactly that! I've decided to temp and have ordered ovulation sticks for this month too, makes sense with the other health issues to optimise our chances and honestly it's just interesting to learn about my cycle after years of suppressing it!

Omg twins!! I know, it’s so hard because you don’t want to think ”what if I just tested/BBT more” if you get BFN, but at the same time you get so obsessed and stressed with all the testing and it makes the journey a bit tougher. I relate 100%!🥹🥰

Cheapie is fine as long as it is bbt. Mine was about £8 from amazon.

@littlefox90 that is quite late, but depends on how long your luteal phase is. If you have a cycle longer than 35 days could be okay. Luteal phase should be around 14dpo.

Finally LH peak on CD 25!

Does late ovulation have a negative impact on fertility? Is it less likely this month?

When ttc my last i used ovusense it's expensive and has a yearly or monthly subscription charge but i really liked it

I've got like a smart ring to do this for me because I don't have consistent sleep because I've got a toddler. I've only been using it for a few days but I like it so far.

Can someone help me with baby maths? My period is so late that I think I'm now not due to ovulate again until beginning of March, would that mean an early December due date? Or still November!?

Anyone else TTC baby no.1? Been trying for 9/12. Tests all ok (we are old though!).
