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

@plipliop nah nothings too cheesy!!!

@Robbo93 the days are going quick enough as we have decorators painting at the moment so there's lots of cleaning up and reorganising to do each day to keep my mind off things!
Spent a fortune today on my dd and ds shared bedroom!

@Robbo93 have you had any symptoms yet??

@Kinsella82 I'd like to say I have, but it's probably symptom spotting rather than actual symptoms.

Felt a few twinges downstairs, nipples feel tender to touch & today have felt nauseous at times.

Gotta have a 24hr blood pressure monitor fitted tomorrow so that should keep my mind off things!

Hey all,

Can i join please?

TTC after mc in may last year
Ovulated on 22nd or 23rd may for the first time since then.

I have had sensitive nipples since ovulation and alot of bloating which i assume is down to the rise in progesterone.

Struggling today as my friends period is one week late so i am just waiting on the text to say the test is positive. I am not sure how i will cope when she tells me! Dont mean to sound selfish either.

Ovusense chart attached

March i mean

Hey @Anon7501 I think I ovulated the exact same time as you! Welcome to our journeys :)

I've got the tender nipple thing too, I'm sure it's all in our heads.

My best friend is 9 weeks and hubbys best friends wife is 11 weeks so I'm in the same boat!

Good luck @Anon7501 and welcome.

Just couldn’t help myself. Of course it’s blank, I’m only 6-7dpo 😂🙈

@robbo93 i get the whole in our head thing as for 6 months after my mc i imagned myself to be pregnant everymonth it was horrible! However the nipples were genuinely sore so i looked it up and it seems to be a thing that happens post ovu 😁 i check them every hour to make sure they are still sore haha!

Its horrible when we want to be happy for others we cant help but to wish it was us instead 😔! Xx

@plipliop thank you xx

@plipliop Congrats! (hopefully) and good luck.

I am 5/6 DPO (hopefully) and I am not particularly symptom spotting right now, because I'm not feeling like our timing worked out. But, here is a breakdown of the days since:

The biggest thing to note is from Saturday up until yesterday, I was VERY moody. It ranged anywhere from downright irritable to unreasonably emotional. I have never noticed this sort of irritability around OV before. It was pretty bad. That said, from what I've read, moodiness is more of a sign of non-pregnancy than pregnancy, due to certain hormones and what not.

My breasts and nipples have been quite sensitive as well. BUT, I think that may have more to do with the trying to conceive portion of it than anything else. (10 times over the course of 3 1/2 days will do that to you) The sensitivity seems to be improving today, but it's still there.

I took an OPK this evening, just in case. Wanted to make sure last week wasn't a false positive, bc I've heard of that happening before. Luckily, it was a pretty conclusive negative.

Other than that, nothing major to report.

Hey! I’m late to the game but I ovulated on March 18 and am waiting for the 31st to test.
This is our 16th cycle and we are being investigated but so far nothing has come up.
My boobs feel a bit tender and I am crappy but I am always like this so I’m not reading into it at all.

Loving the symptom spotting on here!

I’m definitely premenstrual. I’d put money on AF turning up in the next two days.

Ah @deathbycats you caved! Now to resist doing one every day just in case .

Congratulation for the bfp!

Hope there is loads more to come! 🤗

My one app said my ovulation was 22nd March and other one 24th of March. But my temps have been so up and down so they keep changing the date. Might-be because the chemical last month. Last month when i got my bfp my nipples went darker and bigger, so far nothing 😩

Ok.. symptom spotting. Heartburn last night.
Twinges this morning. Quite gassy.
Something or nothing who knows? I’m 7dpo.

Oh I'm going mad with the symptom spotting haha! Cramps down low, sore nipples this morning, tingly boobs, tiny tiny bit nauseas this morning too. Only 5dpo. I'm still trying to dtd every second day just Incase to cover all basis. It's all very hard work!!

@Plipliop huge congratulations. The first success of many hopefully on the thread. It's a good line too. How did you tell your partner after?
Now have sinus infection so this month a total write off, have stopped testing opks as didn't believe the results. Will concentrate on losing bit of weight and eating better, and remembering to take my vitamins! Still will keep fingers crossed for everyone else

@plipliop wow, are you the first BFP of the thread? Congrats!!!!!!!

@Kinsella82 I'm 5dpo today too. When are you going to test? I might start with the cheapies in a few days time to satisfy my POaS habit and use my first FRER on Tuesday at 10dpo.

I think I have 4 FRERs to waste use.

Hi @WildFlower2019 ! I only have IC so thank god for them! I'll be starting in the next couple of days id say because I won't be able to resist any longer! I've a CB digital in a drawer that I'm saving but realistically even if I start getting bfps on IC it'll still be a good while before CB will show it! If I do start getting bfp on the cheap ones I'll probably buy a frer. Hopefully by early next week we will both be pregnant!!!

I think I’m also 5 or 6 dpo.... I had slight twinges last night almost like that pre AF ache that makes you think proper period pains may be starting. But then they went away and I’m still 10 days away from when AF is due. Apart from that and being super tired I feel no different. But then I could also just be dehydrated and need to eat and bit better so not holding any hopes this month.

Reading into every little thing!!! My stomach is so dodgy today and that rarely happens to me. Was just having a cuppa with DH and the cramps!!! Omg

Ovulated 24 or 25 March, currently 4 or 5 DPO! Fingers crossed... feeling slightly crampy but could be AF coming in a few days (short luteal phase)

I'm 6DPO (maybe 5?!) got nausea today, as well as tingles going through each side & lower back pain has returned!!
No idea if it's pregnancy related but I also have a sniffly nose and every time I try and talk to someone my eyes well up.. wtf 🙄

@Robbo93 I can completely relate!! Tears like a tap

I’m totally feeling like I’m out.... you all have proper symptoms

I still only have painful boobies (. ) ( .)

Still not symptom spotting (or so I'm telling myself)

One week til I'm allowing myself to test.
Not even ordered and frers.

I can be strong 🙈🙈🙈🙈
