March 2021 TTC Bus!

[gracie2307]

Hey everyone! Thought I would start a March 2021 TTC bus. I'm TTC for first baby, cycle #8, CD12 hopping off from Feb 2021 bus. Wishing lots of baby dust and BFPs to all! Xx

So ladies, this is the end of my obsession of poas! This is only a selection few that I have done with the 15dpo one being from today! I just need to stop now 😂 Just wondered if anyone did temping with fertility friend (FF) and whether you used FAM or advanced method. I was initially using advanced that would have had me at 13dpo today but before I got my bfp I changed to FAM that only considers temps and it has me at 15dpo. Just wondered anyones thoughts as the weeks test still has me at 1-2 weeks pregnant! 🙂

Ladies can I ask a question- for temping what temperature item do you use and app? Sorry for the silly question

Hi everyone
Just wondered if anyone has been or is in the same boat. My period was due tomorrow however i have been having some spotting, barely enough for a pad, pinky brown for 2.5 days (now stopped). My periods are usually on schedule, thick, dark red and very clotty. Im wondering if this was an implantation bleed? I did a test tonight but was bfn so im really confused. Thanks

[quote SkaterChick]@gracie2307 don't apologise, we all have bad days.
The anxiety waiting to test is killing me.
AF is apparently due Friday but this is based from my previous period which I had right after having my coil out so I don't yet know if I'm back in a cycle.
All my opk's were negative so I gave up as it was disappointing but I get clear ovulation symptoms each month. Except this month, I usually get ewcm and it's noticeable but it doesn't seem to have appeared since before I had my coil out.
So I'm making myself wait till the weekend, see if AF shows up. It's all making me really anxious![/quote]
@SkaterChick Thank you for your lovely message. Its so hard the waiting so I feel your pain! That must be so frustrating waiting for your cycle to get back to normal. I'm praying that AF stays away for you and you get your BFP 😀🍀 xxx

Thank you @dunkedbiscuit 😊💓 I think it probably didn't help that another work colleague announced a pregnancy via an all users email today and whilst I'm super happy for people it really makes my anxiety play up thinking why can't it happen for me too? Ugh. Today has been a right off! How are you doing? Xx

Thank you @Confused678866 for your message! I pray it will happen for us soon I've just always imagined my life with kids and I naively didn't think it would be this hard. I'm keeping everything crossed for you that you will be blessed with your second baby 💕 how are you finding things? Xx

Thank you @Lizbb 😊 I do think there is a plan for everyone I just hope my time comes soon 🙏 how are you, hope you are all good? Xxx

@gracie2307 🙏 just do things u like to get ur mind of it. I know it's hard. I'm ok thanks. Had a pressured pain at my left side but read that ovulation pain. Happy it's normal lol. Will see how things go. Will keep u updated x

Hey I'm new 👋 hope you don't mind me joining

I'm 37 been ttc baby #1since September 2018 no joy 🤦‍♀️

Currently waiting for a consultation date for private ivf no issues with either of us just nothing happening

I'm on cycle day 16 this month I splashed out on a clearblue fertility monitor and also taking vitex supplements I'm on day 2 of my peak on monitor 🙌

Has anyone had any experiences with vitex or cbfm? What days are best to dtd etc

Looking forward to hearing your stories 🥰

Hi all, thought I’d add to the chat!

I got a smiley face on my ovulation sticks both Saturday and Sunday, which was amazing - from looking at the Ovia app and continuing doing sticks I’m no longer positive on the digital sticks. Anyhow, 3 dpo, I’ve been cramping non stop, nauseous and feeling different. Is this normal? I don’t want to get my hopes up. Sending love and baby dust to you all x

Hi @gracie2307 hope you're well! Not been on here in a while. Currently on cycle 11 of TTC no1 still not BFP for me yet unfortunately. Xx

@staceyboo999 Hey! I don’t want to falsely get your hopes up but implantation bleeding is often like this and around the same time you’d get your period. Also, if it is implantation, I don’t think a test would pick it up yet because your HCG levels wouldn’t be high enough. Maybe leave it a couple of days and test again? Fingers crossed for you! Xx

@gracie2307 Yes I know what you mean, I think it’s drummed into our heads that ‘it only takes one time’ that when it comes to it, and all the racking etc kicks in, it becomes a stressful process!
Thank you.. I’m just a bit impatient and overthinking absolutely everything and I don’t know why! Roughly 4DPO today, trying not to symptom spot too much or get my hopes up either! Xx

@Sjhigs Hey! No experience with what you’ve asked about but just want to wish you good luck! Xx

@Confused678866 aww thank you and you too 💕

Hey guys!👋🏽 I’m TTC baby no1, I’m currently on cycle 6.. very nervous this month as it’s slightly harder to track everything. How are you all? X

@Confused678866 thanks for reply. I think it sounds like it too but tests say bfn. Going to wait until tomorrow to test again, as will be ‘officially’ late then. I have never had bleeding so light so if it is bfn then no idea what happened. Maybe i didnt ovulate? Xx

Hi Ladies, hoping I can join! I'm around 3/4dpo at the moment and for the last two nights I've been constantly up and down to the toilet needing a wee. Between the hours of 10.30pm and 7am I've had around 6/7 wees through the night! Anyone else experienced this? Is this normal a few days after ovulation? We're TTC baby #1 and this is our first month trying after tracking ovulation.

Aww I’m also TTC #1 and on first cycle of tracking. You start noticing everything don’t you? I’m currently 8DPO and took a test this morning as I had spotting earlier in the week (never had that before) and nausea which I thought would be a good sign but no :(.
I’ve been off contraception for almost 10 years now, but think we never quite hit the right time. I turned 35 so thought it’s time to start properly trying.

@staceyboo999 I’m not sure what happens if you don’t ovulate? Does it result in a lighter period? I really think it sounds like implantation! Really crossing my fingers for you, let us know how you get on when you test! 🤞🏻 Xx

Hi,

I’ve never used this before
Trying to conceive baby no.2 (ttc for 2 years)
Took a test at what I thought was 14dpo but so faint. I got my peak on 23rd feb so assumed I would be around 14dpo but like I say super faint positive I think...

Like a fool i couldn't wait and tested with a clear blue this morn. Bfn. Im going to test next fri as well to be sure, but will put it out of my mind for now. Trying to remain relaxed. What will be, will be :)

Hi ladies,

Hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m TTC baby no #1 and first Month of trying.

This is really new to me and until recently I didn’t realise forums like this existed, the thought of telling anyone (other than my husband!) that I’m trying for a baby just seems like so much pressure so I’m glad I’ve stumbled across this, it’s so wonderful to hear your journeys and read positive stories.

I believe I ovulated on 4/3 so should be DPO 7 CD21.

Im not expecting anything this month as only recently came off the pill so cycles aren’t regular.

Xxx

@Babyboom93 Good luck in TTC! I have a nearly 2 year old and currently on third cycle of TTC #2.. You'd think I'd be able to help out with symptom spotting etc but the simple truth is, I don't really have a clue! When I conceived my son, I didn't know until I was around 6/7 weeks - It was our first time trying, I'd just stopped my pill so assumed it would take a while.. It didn't! I fell within the first cycle but had implantation bleeding which I thought I was a light period.. turns out it wasn't! So I can't really say if I noticed anything in the TWW because I wasn't really looking. I'm like a crazy lady this time around though and looking out for everything! xx

@Lalala1985 Don't count yourself out yet - 8DPO is very early to test IMO and I know lots of ladies who still don't get their BFP even after their period is 'late'.. it sometimes takes a longer time for HCG to build up enough to be detected. Wishing you good luck! xx

@Steph4190 Oh wow, that sounds like good news to me? Keep us posted on your tests. I'm on third cycle of TTC #2 also.. How long did it take you to conceive your first baby? xx

@staceyboo999 It sounds like you're doing the right thing, let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed for you xx

@Figgypullx Good luck in TTC! I also haven't told anyone, it's just me and my partner. We have a little boy who is 2 next month and we didn't tell anyone when we were trying for him either. I fell pregnant in my first cycle and was super anxious for a while as we couldn't quite believe it happened so quickly. We even had a private scan before the 12 week scan was due as I just couldn't settle - We still didn't tell anyone even after finding out all was fine. I turned out to be further along than we thought so that shortened the wait for the 12 week scan and it was only after that that we actually started to tell people!
Wishing you luck for this month.. I'm roughly 5DPO and trying not to send myself crazy! xx

I'm currently on cycle day 4, I have started using opk since yesterday to make sure I catch my surge as I've only been off the pill a few months so not sure on my cycle pattern yet! Last month I used one step test and always had a faint line from when I tested which then went on to get a positive on day 17, this month I ordered more one step and the easy home test, I haven't been getting two lines on the one step only the easy home, I notice my test last month from one step said 'mark' at the bottom and the ones i got through this time from amazon say 'max' could they be faulty as they say different from what they said last month, or is it normal for one test to have a line and one test not too? I attached a photo below x

@Confused678866 Aww bless you! How lovely you fell pregnant first month.

We have decided It’s best to keep it to ourselves, last thing you want is someone asking you every month, ‘you pregnant yet?’ I already get ‘when you having kids then’ we have been married for almost 3 years and just finished renovating our forever home, both in settled jobs so this has always been our plan.

I’ve read lots about when to test - the 6 day early ones say I can do from Sunday but not sure if to just wait. As I said it’s so difficult to track my cycles as come off the pill recently after 10 years of no periods!
