March bus!

[bunhead34]

I thought I'd start a march bus as I'm def out for feb 👹

Ttc #1
Cycle # 9
I'm 34, H 30

Waiting for cd21/thyroid blood test results next week and will go from there. Had good results on my scan last week.
Can't be arsed with opk/spem/conceive plus Or any of that, so taking the month off. Will just be sure to dtd around expected ov 🤷🏼‍♀️
And continuing with acupuncture.

Currently 2dpo. A little bit gross but has anyone else developed thrush straight after ovulation? I never usually get it. Dr Google tells me this may be hormone related.... 🤞🏼

Not after ovulation but I had it for about 6 months straight of my pregnancy. Bad times! But fingers crossed it’s a good (though annoying!) sign

Please may I hop on the March bus with all of you lovely ladies. AF rocked up here today, here's to March BFPs and Christmas babies 🙏🏻

I'm in!
Hi to @Peachyx2505 from the February thread!!

I ovulated yday and only DTD yday And day before. I'm telling myself it's not enough but the amount of cycles over the last 24failed cycles that I have bombarded my egg with swimmers and still didn't work I'm hoping I still have a chance this month!

Welcome everyone! @Broodyaf your timing sounds pretty spot on to me - timing matters more than frequency. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply @ronniemipperton
I think I'll BD again tonite too cos don't they say that from u get a positive OPK it could take up to 48 hours for the egg to reach the sperm?

That’s true but I think the sperm needs a bit of time to swim to the right place too? I think day of ov and day before is meant to be best, though if you’re not sure if you’ve oved yet then definitely won’t hurt to get on it 😜

@ronniemipperton no, from what I've read, the sperm can be there in 5mins and then just sittin about chillin waitin on her ladyship to arrive 😂

Hahaha. I know it’s perfectly natural and everything, but it starts seeming like such a weird concept when you think about it too much 🤣

Thank you LS897. I did wonder if it's not an accurate reading anyway. Even if I was peaking it's tonight come back as low fertility. Ah well hopefully there's enough in the tank for something to happen! 1 or 2 dpo here then I reckon. I'll test on 9th March.

Fingers crossed to those in the 2WW! Anyone have any knowledge about orgasm in the 2WW? I had some alone time watching Outlander right when my CP last month would have implanted and wondering if that could have affected things... I know CPs are thought to be pregnancies that wouldn't have worked out anyway, just want to maximise chances of it not happening again (and I think some people going through IVF are told not to get jiggy at all during the 2WW?) I'm not due to O for a few days so maybe will go on an Outlander marathon until then

Hi @Broodyaf keeping everything crossed for you this month 🤞 💕

Thanks @Peachyx2505
How u getn on?

Hi ladies, how is everyone getting on?
I’m 6dpo now, and obsessing about every little niggle. I have no symptoms at all, still early days I know, but I had so many symptoms before my last pregnancy that I feel deflated already!
Does anybody use a Fitbit to track heart rate? I’ve only had it since Christmas but it’s been interesting to see how my resting heart changes throughout my cycle!

3dpo here and an awful cold. Would like to think it’s an early symptom but I know exactly when I caught it and who I caught it from! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ovia says I'm 1dpo, but I think from symptoms I'm 5dpo. Already fighting the urge to POAS even though I know it would definitely be negative. Every month so far I've said I'll wait until AF is due and I haven't yet managed that!

Trying to distract myself. Work this afternoon and going for a wander around the garden centre this morning. Hurt my back so all my gardening plans have been out on hold.

I've just read your post @sukisydney... nothing helpful to add, but you've given me a right giggle about Outlander. Seems unfair that we need to be all healthy, take vitamins, stop/reduce drinking, stay fit and then on top of all of that sacrificing special time with Jamie from Outlander.

@PyjamasForever aha, a fellow connoisseur Yes, quite unfair really - never thought about it before, but Dr Google does seem to suggest it might be best to stick to Newsnight during the 2WW

I’ll have to check out this Outlander thing, but I’ve never heard anything about orgasms (ha, just autocorrected to organza) affecting success of pregnancies??

Today is supposedly first day of FW, based on Clue predictions, but DH is working far too much and so there’s no dtd-inf likely until Friday I suspect... Good luck to all those in the tww, it’s such a frustrating time!

*dtd-ing, rather.

Not to bad thanks @Broodyaf ! Just waiting for ov! Been testing the last couple of days with ov strips... nowt exciting there tho 😂 should ov this weekend. DH and I are away overnight on Saturday so hopefully we will catch ov! Any news from your gp appt? I think you have as good of a chance as any broody. Prime time for dtd Xx

@sukisydney I've not heard of the orgasm thing....

@CoachBombay how you feeling now? Hope the pain has gone and 🤞for you this month xx

@TulipsTwoLips not experienced thrush at that point of my cycle, but it's interesting it could be hormone related 🤞🤞

@Hanni1234 I wear my Fitbit a lot. Not sure if my resting HR is accurate enough to look for patterns though, I work nights and sometimes go 48hours with 3 hours sleep!!

Hello and good luck to the ladies who have joined recently. 🤞💕

I don’t think the orgasm thing is anything to worry about, I’m pretty sure most of the billions of women who’ve given birth had sex in the tww. And probably not all disappointing sex 😛

One thing I have learnt on this long ttc journey is that there’s evidence for everything if you google it... and for everything’s opposite. (Carrots are my latest mindfuck. Good for fertility? Bad because too much vitamin A? Who knows...)

Anyway here’s the counterview on sex, if not orgasms specifically: academic.oup.com/humrep/article/15/12/2653/2915864

(That is admittedly semen being good for implantation rather than orgasms, but still... anyway, everyone says relaxing is good during the tww)

@Peachyx2505 I have the same problem with working nights, means I can't temp because actually I don't think my body knows what time of day it is!

Yes very good point @ronniemipperton, will try and step away from the keyboard! With DC1 we were young and carefree and DTD enthusiastically throughout the 2WW without thinking twice, but I know from my MMC and this CP that it's tempting to try and come up with a reason why (even though in reality it's all just in the lap of the gods).

@Peachyx2505 I think we're due to O around the same time, hope Saturday works out timing wise for you. Neither me or DH are in the mood at all at the mo - hoping that changes by the weekend!

Keeping everything crossed for those in the 2WW
