TTC February/March

[Sallyjo27]

Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

Sorry to hear about your MC, @Clareabelle24 it's so sad.

I pretty much always get 2 lines on my OPKs so I wouldn't read too much into it either way. 10dpo would be early to get a result on a FRER even so I'd test with a pregnancy test when you next feel you can. Fingers crossed for bfp xxx April would be right for a scan for you.

@genevive123 that's so funny and exciting. Let's hope it's a BFP on the way.

Thank you @CycloGoose. It hit me harder than I thought but I’m feeling much stronger again now.

Ah do you? I have only ever got them around O and usually negative any other time. I thought what the hell and I’d just do a test.
I think I’ll wait until the weekend when my OH is off work then, AF is due Monday.

Thank you, fingers tightly crossed.
It would... I’ve just read it and it says the first week of May shows something very significant for baby related... we shall see.

Welcome @Clareabelle24! Sorry to hear about your MC in December, I also suffered the same in December. It really does hit you hard and there's times where I think I'm doing ok and then it randomly hits me again. Fingers crossed for you though that this is your month x

@CycloGoose the static is here and my temp has dipped as well. Tried to DTD but think the pressure was on so will give it a go later 😂. I am ovulating slightly earlier than last two months so I am hoping cycle is getting back to normal after MC. Any sign of a static for you yet? X x

@Slinks8113 Sorry to hear that you did too. I was shocked how much or affected me. I know what you mean, I feel that way too. Thank you, fingers crossed for everyone xx

Welcome @Clareabelle24 sorry for your loss xx

@Genevive123 I am literally surrounded by rabbits now. However, it is easter....

@Clareabelle24 I can't even imagine. There are a few ladies on this thread with similar experiences and my heart breaks for all of you. I've not had so much as a sniff of a BFP yet. On the opk I always have a faint line and then on peak it's very obvious. I know you can use them in lieu of a PT but at 10dpo not reliable enough as hard enough to detect HCG on an early FRER. Weekend sounds like a good time to test. Fingers crossed.

@Slinks8113 yey!! Hooray for statics! Still flashing here - a whole f'ing week! I'm feeling like it's very close now though. Either later today or tomorrow. But I think my luteal phase is on the shorter side so will definitely be TWW buddies. I'm sorry to hear about the pressure but also reassured I'm not the only one! My DH is a morning person so, if I get a solid later, unlikely to DTD until tomorrow now anyway.

So hard not to get hopes up every month. I'm really concerned about my luteal phase but can't do much about it. Just hoping beyond all hope that I'm wrong!

@CycloGoose I had a short one last cycle too so I'm just hoping this Angus cactus helps but have read different things about it so will see if it works for me or not. Will be stopping taking it when I get the temperature rise.
@lucea87 completely forgot the Easter reference you know! 😂 so yes I guess rabbits will be everywhere you go at the moment.
Still haven't seen a pig 🐷😂🐷 @Genevive123 has had an array of palm trees!

I feel like im so behind 🤣since i started new cycle few days ago. I bought the digital cb opk

I'm only CD7. I start OPKs next Wednesday. Ok I've just seen none Easter related rabbits on the curtains on Mrs Hinch's story on Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Iloveoreos I think Kayls is similar timing to you as well.

Did you get the pink ones or the purple ones?

@Slinks8113 I'm a bit scared of the Agnus Castus.... I just hope I'm wrong and everythingthing is fine!

@lucea87 fingers crossed for your rabbits!

Ooooooh she put another £8 offer on so I've gone for it. Clearly going to be told some time in the distant future or nothing can be seen for me 🤣

@CycloGoose
Purple one. Got it from amazon. Box of 20 i think

@lucea87 im around same days as u..yay

She's said August. Sulk.

@CycloGoose did she say any special signs? What are we looking for?? X

Bumble bees 🤣 they're currently in hibernation.

Just a bit of fun isn't it and mine says could be next 18 months.

I came off birth control in August and that's our anniversary too so it's a significant month anyway 🙂

@Iloveoreos cool. I currently want to throw mine out the window after 7 days of flashing smileys but they are good 🙂

@CycloGoose I saw a bumble bee today!! Sending it to you 🐝

Awww thanks very much @els10 😂😃 How are you getting on?

@CycloGoose ooh nice well done for getting a tarot reading ! Don't feel disheartened for all you know August could be your first scan date ? :)

I'm ok! Tired and got a banging headache this afternoon but could just be pms ! Ordered my FRER today ready for Saturday 😳😳 nearly there !!

Girls I’m really struggling if anyone can give me any advice? It’s probably a bit TMI.
I’m usually completely regular as clockwork on my period, and I have exactly the same experience every month. I suffer horribly with period cramps on the first day, absolutely agony and sometimes I have to have a hot water bottle constantly. My period lasts 3 days full flow and on the 4th day just spotting and small amount.
I don’t normally get cramps until the day of my period and both period flow is heavy and cramps are bad.
So this morning I came “on my period” 3 days earlier than expected, except I’ve had mild cramps and apart from first thing this morning very minimal flow (only blood when I wipe). I also had mild cramps yesterday with no blood which is really rare for the day before my period.
I’m a bit at a loss of what this could be, is it my period but just a really weird one and may get heavier, or could it be implantation? I am on 15dpo and CD25. I didn’t test this morning as thought AF was in full swing but yesterday was BFN.
Any tips or help would be much appreciated.

@CycloGoose yeah okay thanks! Got some lovely strong positive lines now which is good to see. Had that brown spotting at the weekend, which turned to red (not much but enough to worry me) so not sure how to feel! Went to the doctors today who were useless and only had me booked in for one blood test, not a repeat in 48 hours. So phoned the EPU to see if they'd be any help but basically just said take another test in a week. And then a week after that. Then book a private scan if I'm still worried. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ She was really reassuring. And did tell me to step away from the tests. I'd been testing every day to look at the progression but given them all to my fiancé now and he's hidden them! So basically I'm in an 'am I still pregnant or not TWW' AGAIN 😅

Ahh don’t worry. I think it’s coming now.

Hey sweet which day are you on? I'm on cycle day 4 coming off the drips n drabs of the pain in the booty of AF :) cycle number 7 TTC, I wanted to be like one of those take a break stories "I looked at my husband then I was pregnant" 😂 but life doesn't pan out that way ;)

That looks right good! Let's hope the bee presence in august for you is the works! Plant loads of seeds in your garden to encourage them to come near you ;) who did your reading can I ask? I've had 3 and they all predict around about the same months, one said summer of 2021, one said may/June, and other one said July 🤔 Its a force of habit for getting them read I just like the stories what they say about them, it's a bit of fun the only same pattern is each one has said baby girl! Xxx

Hey all

Bit of a lurker hoping to join

First month ttc. Going into this a bit blind as I’ve been on the mini-pill for absolute years so have no idea what my cycle is or whatever. Currently just reading all I can to give it my best shot!!!
