March 2017 Train. Hop on!

[Bubblegum89]

Okay so af is due tomorrow and I was feeling hopeful until this evening when I started cramping and had pink tinged cm when I wiped so guess I'm out. Again!

So, onto the next cycle. Anyone else? Introduce yourself!

I'm Becki, I'm 27. I'm ttc#2 but I've been pregnant twice. Daughter is 8 (from previous relationship) had to have a termination with my last pregnancy which left me with scarring in my uterus. I'll probably find it hard to conceive, if at all :(

Hope there are a lot of bfp's coming in March!!

Hey girlies!
Well to me, I always thought ttc was just having lots of sexy time without contraception 😂 back in my happy days lol.
Since I've been on here, in MY head, and totally my opinion only, ttc is tracking your cycle, using opks to add a bit of extra idea and dtd as much as possible around the fertile days! As well as any other time you fancy it!
So for my first couple of months of being off the pill, I consider that I was NTNP which I've only heard of on here and I found out means not trying not preventing.
So if that's the case, I've only been ttc since November.
I have actually been dtd lots without protection since September in the hope a lil sticky bean will appear but I say I've been actively ttc since November partly coz I don't like saying I'm 32 and already been 'trying' for 6 months coz that scares me that it hasn't happened for me yet 😩

My understanding of TTC is getting to know your body if that by tracking/knowing when your most fertile and Just a general wanting of pregnancy. As me and my boyfriend haven't used protection for a few years we weren't avoiding a pregnancy but we weren't hoping for it either.

I really don't think that makes sense sorry

Morning Ladies - lurker from the last bus here, but hoping for some baby dust af got me this morning. Can I join you?

Morning everyone, I'm on the march bus as well but thought I may as well join on here too! The more the merrier.....

I use the clearblue fertility monitor, although rather annoyingly it has not given me peak since I used it. It's recognising high days. But no peak. Cycles are fairly regular (20,29,27 last 3 months since removal of mirena). Am at the GP's this morning anyway for non TTC issues, but think I'll mention it to see what she says.

Af STILL isn't here. Getting bits of brown cm here and there but nothing that needs a tampon or pad. I just want to get it over and done with and move on to my next cycle!!!

I'm not going to use opks and whatnot next time. I know roughly when my fertile window is and when I ovulate. I think it just stresses you out too much, especially when you're logging your "symptoms" and start to convince yourself you're pregnant

Hello to everyone who has joined, let's hope this a lucky thread!

Bubble What day are you on chick?x

misty I'm on CD30 but af decided to show up while I was in work :( oh well. Here's to next month!

Hopping on!

Age 30 (DP 36)
Cycle 1
TTC #1
CD 16
I had promised myself I'd lose a stone before trying so hopefully I can shift some of that before my next fertile window. DP is conscious of not putting too much pressure on the situation but I cant help myself so will be tracking my cycles in secret

cheese did you get down and dirty?! We were in bed early..... fell fast asleep! 😂 jeeze!

Suggested no opks and dtd every second day to my oh last night, he's on board.... this is good news as we both are super busy with work and if I'm honest we only have fun times at the weekend! Ha!

Anyone else exhausted at the thought?!

WHY IS MY CERVIX AT ITS HIGHEST EVER POSITION THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN IN THE HISTORY OF EVER WHILE I'M ON MY PERIOD?!?! Why isn't it low like it's meant to be?? I've gone being able to touch it relatively easily at a stretch to having to go almost past the third knuckle just to graze past it. I'm worried that I'm broken :(

I can never feel mine! :/ I had a coil fitted years ago and the nurse said mine is really high back and tilted, confirmed at smears when I'm wiggling my vag around so the nurse can swab. 😂🙈 being a woman is so undignified at times!

Tricky bubble! Our bodies trick trick trick us!

ZEB totally makes sense.

Thanks for the replies to my v random qu!

EM - still managed to DTD!

Bubble - I know it's not funny, but your cervix chat made me lol :)

Im hoping on!!! Im just new here to not sure what all the abbreviations are just yet lol! We have been "not trying to, but not trying not to" since October 16! It's not happened yet so we actively started in late December! Fingers crossed for March!

Hi all,

Can I jump on the train too? I'm new to all this so please bear with me trying to get my head around the old acronyms!

So about me
Age 28
TTC #1

We're trying again following a miscarriage in January at just over 12 weeks. There was no heartbeat on the scan and I had to have surgical management of the miscarriage (I think that's the same as D&C?). Still feeling quite broken and sad but so want our baby...

Anyway, still waiting on AF which I think should have come yesterday, according to the sticks I think I ovulated around 25th Jan but because of everything I think my body is still sorting things out. Does anyone know if there's another reason to wait for a period before trying again following miscarriage, other than for dating purposes?

I've been reading some of the posts and it's good to feel that we're not alone in this. Good luck and love to everyone

beaveringaway my OH is exactly the same. He wants it to just happen so I've secretly been tracking and OPKing the past 5 months. I think he knows he just doesn't understand it all haha

Hi. I'm jumping on the March train.
I'm 35
TTC #3
Cycle 6
Had 2 chemical pregnancies so now fingers crossed for a BFP in March.
Fell easily with my 2 DS's (age 6 & 4)
Haven't done OPKs just dtd a lot round fertile window. AF pretty regular.
Sending baby dust to you all x

Hey girlies, nothing much to report with me, fw starts on Sunday.
With dtd what does everyone suggest? Every day? Or every other day? I've been doing every day last couple of months but by day 4 we are shattered lol hubs works long late hours. So we've been every day for first 3 days of fw then struggling or completely miss the vital couple of days lol.
I've also heard that every other day gives the swimmers chance to replenish... is this true?

Hi all,

We don't DTD very often since DD was born but will try for at least eod in fw. The month we conceived DD it was more like twice a day.

Hi hope I can join!

Cycle 4 (but we were not preventing two months prior)
CD 3
AF due 10th March

Started temping last month and found I ovulate on cd18
My cycles can range from 28-32 days so I've a feeling I've been missing the exact day but would of been dtd a day either side so

Feel like I'm obsessing the last two months

Think I'll go to the doctor next month if nothing happens to get ball rolling in tests and also because we want to skip Dec as due date

Have started new multivitamins this month, Swisse Ultivite Pregnancy
I was using centrum pre-pregnancy and seven seas cod liver oil

@MistyBxx we usually DTD every other day on the lead up and then everyday in FW and then maybe 2/3 times a week after until AF comes
Going to probably go every other day throughout this cycle and am considering using a sperm friendly lube in FW to hopefully keep his guys healthy while they wait inside

Am also considering stopping all caffeine and fizzy drinks this month

Evening all!

How's everyone doing? My period has gone awol. It was so heavy yesterday, I don't think it's been that heavy since I was 15. I filled 4 tampons which is unusual for me, I can usually fill 1/4 of 3 on my "heaviest" day. I was lying in bed and hadn't put a new tampon in yet and I coughed and I had to do an emergency flip out of the covers to avoid a scene from Psycho. I figured it would be about a medium flow today but it wasn't at all. In fact, I only used 2 tampons and there was barely anything there so much so that I didn't bother using any more. And now it's bone dry down there. Wtf is my body playing at?? My cycles are normally bang on 28 days, I usually have 3-4 days of my period (2 medium, 2 light) it's like my uterus knows I want a baby and it's being an absolute dick for the fun of it.

Hi girlies!
Bubble you made me lol 😂 I've got no idea what's going on down there for you but it did give me a chuckle!
I'm waiting patiently for my overlapping fw to start... tomorrow til the 21st according to 2 different apps!
Been dtd anyway but gonna make extra effort over the next 10 days!x

Hi ladies, I'm on the March bus but I thought it can't hurt to join the train too

TTC #1
Cycle 6

AF arrived with a vengeance after a week of symptoms...although I am the worst symptom spotter! Please let March be my month!

Same queen 😂 I've convinced myself I'm pg every month since November lol. Crazy what our bodies do to us... or should I say what they don't do to us, but what our brains decide they're doing lol.
Best of luck everyone!x
