TTC & due to OV around the 22nd March? Come on in!

[WildFlower2019]

Decided to set up a thread for ladies due to ovulate some time around the 22nd March. If you're due to OV around this time, come on in!

I find these easier to follow than the big month-long threads.

Thought we could all test at similar times, discuss our crazy symptom spotting, and all the other "fun" around TTC.

You're doubly welcome if you're a POaS addict like me

About me:
33
This will be cycle 5 after TFMR last year.

TTC our first

I've tried conceive plus, preseed, all manner of ovulation kits, etc.

This month I'm going to focus on losing half a stone. I've put a lot of weight on since my TFMR. I think i could be disadvantaging myself. I'm also going to cut down on caffeine throughout the who cycle.

I've also bought the Harvard medical school Fertility Diet book, all backed up with science so I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

Here's a summary if anybody interested: www.urmc.rochester.edu/medialibraries/urmcmedia/fertility-center/education/documents/fertility-diet.pdf

Congratulations @WildFlower2019

Congrats @WildFlower2019 !! Xx

Congratulations @WildFlower2019 delighted for you x

The test has dried more now and looks lots clearer and pinker (I took the previous pictures literally on the 3 min mark! Hah)

But, I know it's still very early days, i know not to get too excited... though I am a teeny tiny bit!

I am also very sorry for everybody who gets a BFN or AF on this thread. I've been there over the last 6 cycles 🙁 xx

Hey ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining.
I'm TTC baby #1, 1st cycle after coming off the mini pill almost 6 weeks ago. Had AF which lasted 5 days and ovulated (used OPKs) on CD13. I'm 9/10DPO today and POAS yesterday and can see a vvvvvfl. I tried a FRER last night but nothing. Trying to hold out another 3/4 days before I test again but it's so difficult! 😂😩

Wow! Congrats Wildflower v exciting. Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months.
I dont know what the hell happened this month but period came a whole week early At least it didn't do the crueler late show so didnt have any hope (well tiny bit) built up. Just hoping next month returns to normal and I at least get a positive opk. Going to start testing from tomorrow, cd5 incase its early again.
Hoping there's more good news to come on here

Congratulations Wildflower how exciting! I have been suffering period type pains since last night so expect AF is on the way this month

@Chh87 how many dpo are you?

wildflower congratulations so exciting!!!
Were you getting many symptoms? I’m 10dpo today and have 2 frer which I’m trying to talk my self out of using because I keep getting achy stabbing pains and AF is due sat/sun. How many dpo is everyone else? Anyone thinking of testing?

@20TinkerBell20 I'm 10 days now too. Getting strange cramps this morning but part of me thinking it's just af on her way :( i will test Fri with frer if no sign of anything before then! Af also due sat (approx)
The TWW is so hard isn't It?

@Kinsella82 10 DPO. At the back of my mind I am wondering if they could be implantation cramps but I think that is wishful thinking as they feel very much like period pains

@Chh87 I'm the same. Really afraid to even get my hopes up just for them to be dashed.

I'm also ridiculously tired this morning even though I slept ok last night

Again, don't want to read too much into it!

The TWW Makes your head think weird things

I had some cramping end of last week and I've had sore boobs and low back ache. My usual cramping before AF isn't here but I've no tests with me till I get home from a few days away with work which is probably a blessing. Dunno how many DPO I am because of varying cycle days

Going to test thur or fri I think as AF due sat according to Flo. What do you think?x

Sounds like a plan @Coastaldreamer
I'm in the same boat of not really knowing when to test so trying for fri. I'm so nervous - every time I go to the toilet I'm expecting af etc. Ugh wish I could just turn off the brain!

@Kinsella82 got that same nervous feeling. Just dreading a BFN!! Going to see a family members new baby today which I'm super happy for her about but it's that feeling of wanting the same thing so badly!

Yes @Coastaldreamer I know what you mean. X

The cramps have really ramped up this afternoon. They honestly feel like af is on the way :( I'll be in bed early with a hot water bottle tonight. Feeling sorry for myself. I know I'm not out yet but still

Stay positive @Kinsella82 not out till you're out x

Congrats @WildFlower2019 !! Xx

@ 20TinkerBell20 my af due Friday. Im trying not to think about it too much. But I am!

@Kinsella82 my cramps ramped up so much yday that I thought I'd be getting AF a day or two early today, for sure! (Not unusual for me).

But....I got my BFP today 😁

Still had some cramps today so hoping it's not going to come.

FX for you!!! X

@20TinkerBell20 no symptoms out it the norm really. I've "had" them all in other months with bfns so I don't tend to pay them much attention now.

So, huge huge headache. Fatigue and feeling run down. A bit of hip/pelvic pain. Period pains. Awful pmt.

But I get these symptoms for AF anyway!

Thanks @WildFlower2019 - also gives me a bit of hope!
Are you going to do a few more tests til everything settles down or go to the doc for a blood test?

@Kinsella82 my cramps have completely disappeared now! If AF hasn’t shown by tomorrow I might do a test
