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

@Ekie that looks like a bfp! Have you done anymore tests since then?

Having an af from hell - on day two so hopefully tomorrow will see a big improvement.

Have just bought cb digital opks on amazon for the month. Hoping that will help this month. I've promised myself not to obsess this month though. I'll just do the opks and relax and I'm going to keep busy and try and organise lots of things to fill up any spare time so I've no time left to think and symptom spot during the TWW!

I have got over the disappointment of the bfn and I'm feeling positive again for cycle number 4. I had been wanting to not be pregnant for Xmas but sure I'll just be happy to get pregnant and be grateful whether I'm pregnant over Xmas or not doesn't matter at all

@Loti92 definitly easier said than done!

Now convinced I have ovulated late.

According to my app I'm 17dpo and 2 days late...too scared to test as I was 4 days late on the last cycle and completely got my hopes up.

Before TTC I had a regular 28 day cycle, typical!

The only symptoms I have are typical PMS symptoms, on and off cramps and sore boobs. I did have a killer headache last night, but think that was linked to my stiff neck.

Going to hold out to the weekend to test, going to be a loooong week 😩

Good luck with testing @Paddypaws91 fingers crossed!

Thanks @Kinsella82

My af is late. I tested the day before I was due but bfn. I wish it would hurry up. I thought I had my cycle down with the Flo app. But nothing just sore boobs.

Good luck @Paddypaws91 x

Thanks @WildFlower2019 AF is still a no show 🤔 having that pressure, almost crampy feeling, so will probably be here soon (boo). Hope you're getting on alright!

Yeah but I had that cramping and pressure for days before my BFP so don't rule anything out just now!

@WildFlower2019 did it just feel like normal AF symptoms for you then? 🤔

I am feeling a little nauseous today and headachy, but I'm putting everything down to PMS. Can't face the disappointment of POAS 🙈

Yes it did. Good luck xx

AF has arrived, nooooo 😭

Hope everything progresses well @WildFlower2019 and hopefully I'll be joining you on some pregnancy threads in the near future xx

@Paddypaws91 oh noooooo! I am so sorry, good luck for next cycle. Xxx

AF here started overnight to crash the party :( CD 35 and I thought I was in with a shot.

Never mind I feel it's a fresh start for this new month!

For those of you who like me also got a bfn this month - anyone starting a new thread for this month?

@20TinkerBell20 You start one and we'll follow you over, I am due to ovulate today not yet had a positive opk.

Let me know where the new thread is please. Sorry to everyone who got their af it's so frustrating. Af is just finished for me today so nearly ready to get back on the wagon.

@20TinkerBell20 I'm due to ovulate in the next few days so I'll be interested in new thread x

For those still checking this thread (I haven’t started a new one yet) but just wondering......
App says I’m due to OV on sat 20th, what would
You say would be the best days to dtd?

I'd be dtd every 2 days from today

Hello all!

Been reading this thread as I was due to ovulate around this time, I’ve been using an app to track my periods and OPKs. I ended up ovulating on March 28th. It’s our first cycle trying for our first baby, I’m 31 and my OH is 27. We’ve been worried about our chances as I have endo and during a recent operation it was discovered only one Fallopian tube is working as the other is irreparably blocked with scar tissue.

Anyway we timed sex, aimed for every other day overall but also the day before, of and after ovulation and yesterday, the day my period was due, I got a BFP! On two tests. I’m in shock, I assumed it’d take absolutely forever due to being subfertile. We’ve been using pre seed too.

so that’s where I’m at now, only 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant technically. Being booked in for an early scan as I’m high risk for ectopic. I know anything can happen at this stage, it’s just cells right now and I’m trying very hard not to get my hopes up, but I’m just so delighted to know my body is at least capable of conceiving, that’s such a good sign and I really thought it wouldn’t happen for us. Even if this doesn’t end up with a baby I feel one step closer. And I’ll wait and see how things progress.

No symptoms yet obviously. I kinda had a really strong inkling I might be pregnant as my OPKs were showing up glaringly positive in the few days leading up to and during the expected period date, which I know can be a sign. Weirdly the second week after ovulating I felt incredibly sick all day for about five or six days, I’ve never had that before but it definitely wasn’t in my mind, though I doubt it was related to conceiving.

I just wanted to share as I’m so excited but obviously haven’t told anyone yet other than my boss for appointments, OH as he was there when we did the test and one best friend so I have someone to talk to about it (and I’d want to lean on them if I miscarried anyway).

Mind blown to have been a ‘unicorn’! I was so so proud of my body for even ovulating as I didn’t think it would. So let’s see now. I swear I’m not assuming I’ll end up with a lovely baby in nine months. I’m just pleased to be in the running if that makes sense. Does anyone else feel like that?

Congratulations @EmeraldRubyShark

Hope all goes well at your scan

@20TinkerBell20 I would do it every second day and then day before, day of and day after O. Let us know if there's a new thread x

@EmeraldRubyShark congrats to you! Great news!

I've just received my clear blue opk from amazon today so I'll be starting them tomorrow at CD 11. Did a cheapie today and yesterday and nothing so hopefully the clear blue will help me pinpoint exactly. Meantime I'm going to dtd as above until I know otherwise!
