March bus - bfp’s welcome.

[Woody096]

AF arrived today so I am now hoping for a March bfp.
This is cycle 6, ttc #2. Aged 32.

Never started a thread before, so hopefully you will join & we can symptom spot together!

I did the same @Woody096 why do we do this to ourselves?! Especially as I have zero symptoms...

With pre seed do you have to insert something after dtd I feel a bit odd about that but willing to try anything April

@Owlpatrol. How do You mean "insert something"? Lol

I'm sure I read that there's a femidom thing you insert after? 😂 I could be totally wrong!

I raided H and B and Boots this afternoon and I got:

Vitamin B
Vitamin C and Zinc
Magnesium
Vitamin D
Omega 3
Ginger capsules
Turmeric capsules

Already on 5mg folic acid from Drs. They made about £30.00 out of me! Lol. I'm trying the ginger and turmeric to reduce inflammation. The lady in H and B said cutting out dairy during the tww could help some ladies as dairy can be a big inflammatory.

Hi everyone, this is my first post so... Hello! (waves).

AF arrived yesterday so going to jump on the March bus.
TTC #1
Age 39
Cycle 10ish

Started off just doing it without any protection but getting more "scientific" each month: pre-conceive vitamins, epo, temp tracking, opks.

Trying to stay positive but it's getting harder each month.
Fingers crossed for us all x

@owlpatrol, I’m sure I’ve read of people using a mooncup to keep the swimmers up there

Welcome @bluesarah!

I gave up dairy and wheat in jan2016 and conceived Feb 20-6. If I don’t catch the march bus will try that again x

@Woody096. Apparently It makes a huge difference to some people. Problem is, it is everywhere! I'm thinking about doing my own meal plan so that I'm eating what I need to eat because most sauces and that, that you would cook with have milk. Cereal, has milk powder and chocolate.

@BlueSarah. Hi!

@EverythingNow @owlpatrol. Are they more likely to escape with lube then?

@lookatthestars69. It is sooo tricky. I couldn’t find a milk substitute that made tea taste good so I used the lacto free meal and cut dairy and wheat from everything. My mil has a dairy / wheat free diet due to health issues so it wasn’t too difficult, I just had to make everything from scratch. Waitrose have a chickpea pasta substitute!

@Woody096. ASDA have a free from aisle. I think I spotted pasta and sauces down there. I quite like almond milk. I think wheat free might be pushing it for me lol. I have already cut out caffeine and booze. I desperately want to cut sugar but I'm so bloody weak willed lol!!

I can't have dairy. Loads of the supermarkets have free from sections. Look at vegan pages as there's loads of products you wouldn't expect to be DF. Also, I find almond milk (roasted version) the best in my drinks and cereal :) xxx

I've messed up a bit with the whole TTC thing this month. I used the clear blue ovulation kit and we DTD every other day during my high fertility (flashing smiley) days. Did it on Wed night (high fertility day) & then Thursday I had cramps & when I used the opk early evening it was a solid smiley. But we haven't had sex now since Wed night. So I most likely peed on a stick every day for no reason! I am rubbish at this!

@Star88. Have You tried the Rude Health Almond milk? So yummy.

It's both nice, and not so nice, to see some familiar names here. I'm hovering between Feb and march as AF is due on 1st March. So here I am:

Age 31
Ttc #1
Cycle 11
CD 24

I've been a bit quiet here lately. My mom was taken into hospital a couple of weeks ago. She had breast cancer last year, and now they've found tumours in her lung and brain. It's likely terminal. I so desperately wanted my mom to be there and to support me, to teach me to be a mother, and for her to be a grandmother. She's the only family I've got left apart from DH. But it looks like that won't be possible now. Still, all the more reason to get pregnant asap as we don't have much time.

I've been feeling really poorly/odd the last couple of days, like I was getting a stomach bug. But did a frer this morning which was a bfn, so not feeling very hopeful.

Here's to a positive month, with lots of baby dust to us all!!!

@Aridia. Hi :-) I'm really sorry to hear about your mum That must be really awful for you. Try not to stress over getting pregnant, just cherish your mum and the time you have together x

@BeachYogi oh that's annoying I've done that some months but you did get lots of deeds in before so I think you'll be covered anyway

@Aridia sending lots of virtual hugs and baby dust your way

I realised i must be going a little insane as last night I actually dreamt about having a positive pregnancy test

@aridia, so sorry to hear about your mum. Such a cruel disease. Don’t stress too much about ttc just enjoy your time with your mum. Sending lots of love xx

@owlpatrol. Could the dream be a sign? How many dpo are you?x

@Aridia I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum. I hope you can have lots of fun talking babies together whilst you wait for BFP. Sending hugs and

Thank you all. It's been a horrible few weeks. I am just trying to spend as much time as possible with mom. She's been knitting baby clothes for me...just in case!

How's everyone doing today? Ovia is telling me I can take a test in 2 days. But surely if I was in then yesterday's frer test would have been positive?

Yeah I so hope its a sign but who knows. I've got sore boobs and cramps on and off still so I am 99% sure that af will arrive I'm due 1st so got a few days yet. @Aridia I always ignore ovia and test early as well x

Lol @Owlpatrol. Even when there's an app telling us when to poas, we just can't resist ignoring it 😂 we can't even do as we're told. Such rebels!
Fingers crossed your dream is a sign! When is AF due?
