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

Thanks @Lollipop25 - and so sorry to hear of your mc ☹️ It won’t be long till your AF will arrive and they often say women are quite fertile after a mc so maybe you’ll conceive in March still as well! 😄

@SF543 hiya 😊 no problem, I am pretty new to this too with it being my first month ttc but I have been using OPKs for a few cycles now to get a better insight into when I ovulate each month, and it has been anywhere between day 14 to day 19 so keep testing and you should catch your peak still and dtd over the next few days should mean you catch the window 😊 some months I have felt like my peak may never come and then bam it comes out of no where on day 18, so you could just be ovulating slightly later on in your cycle. I am currently 6dpo, trying for first baby, but only dtd twice this month in the fertile window due to moving in to our new house so chances are low but I am keeping everything crossed!

Congrats to all with their BFPs this month. AF has just made her appearance here so I'm off to jump on the April bus. Good luck everyone 😊

Hi all! Happy Saturday! Hope you are good? I'm 9/8dpo today (annoyingly have two apps telling me different O days) and since yesterday sorry tmi all I noticed I had very very light pink CM when I went to the bathroom. Now I never have this usually so thought it was strange. Today I've had the same thing but seems a bit darker but it's very light. My period isn't due for another 5 days and if I do get pre AF spotting it's usually 1 or 2 days before AF and its noticeably dark and I tend to feel very crampy, so this isn't it. Am I going mad?! I don't know whether to test with a FRER tomorrow or is that too soon? I have no idea if this is good news or not. So confusing. But definitely a new symptom for me and my boobs hurt a little.

@dunkedbiscuit Hope you ladies are doing well?

@SparkyLauz Hey!! 😀😀😀 so lovely to hear from you? How are you doing? Hope you are all good? Sending you much love i really hope you get your BFP soon xxxx

@gracie2307 Hey! Oh that sounds promising, could it be implantation bleeding?? Keep us updated!! I’m 7DPO today, not too much to report. A little TMI but I’ve had lots of creamy CM the last couple of days, I think this is unusual for me at this point in my cycle but I think I’m just symptom spotting 🙄 had some cramping and backache the last 2 days too. I was feeling positive this month but now I think I’m driving myself crazy so I’m not too positive!!

When is your AF due? Just thinking about when you could possibly test! Xx

Hey @Confused678866 Thats what I've been thinking 🤔 I've not had it before though usually I don't even get much CM during my luteal phase. My period is due next Thursday im cd25 today and my cycles do tend to be on the longer side so that's why I don't think this is AF related. I'll be 10dpo tomorrow but I dont know if even a FRER would pick up something? Ooh that sounds positive signs from you too!! ☺ when is your AF due? Xx

@gracie2307 I had implantation bleeding with my first baby but I didn’t actually know and thought it was a lighter period as I’d only just stopped my pill.. so yours could be that? See how it goes I’ve the next day or so. I think FRER advertise up to 6 days early? Maybe get a couple and you could test in the next couple of days if you wanted to?

Yes I’m definitely feeling a little differently to this time last cycle but I don’t really have a clue as it could all be in my head! We DTD more this time around and on key days (I think). My cycle has differed the last 2 months. January I was 2 days late, February I was 6 days early!! Been off the pill since last September too but only been TTC since January. So when I have these symptoms, I just put it down to AF coming early like last month. I really don’t know!
According to my tracking apps, I’m not due AF until next Sunday. I’m currently 7DPO xx

@gracie2307 hey hun I pray everything is positive for you and you get your bfp. I'm ok hun. Currently 5dpo and weird cos yesterday felt so warm inside like feverish, also had tummy twinges, alot of cm and a day after ovulation felt pressure on my left side other than that I'm ok 😂. Just pray it happens as they day 6 months after mc one tends to be very fertile. Lets stay hopeful and playful that's this is all our month of joyful and positive stories. Ame 🙏. Graph also looks good. 🤞

Morning everyone...

AF appeared yesterday but I was quite happy because weve spend the last week in no mans land, no positive but no period.
Spoke to GP who advised me that a 35 Day cycle and a 17 Luteal phase is good since coming off the coil.
We are going to go through some fertility tests next month just to rule out the basics...

But CD2
Anyone else?

@Farfaraway1 mines came yesterday too! Mine was a couple of days late this month. This is my first month TTC for #3. Good luck to all!

Hey ladies I just want to pop this pic here as I found it so useful when I was on the ttc journey, it's so hard mentally but really found this account so helpful and I remember all too well what it's like to be on this journey so just thought I would share and wish you all the best of luck 😌😌 (I'm not affiliated with this account in any shape or form it just really helped me mentally )❤️

@gracie2307 I’m ok thanks, I’m 2/3 dpo but missed DTD on the day of my peak or the 24 hrs after it as hubby was ill (he had his Covid jab which is brilliant, but he was feeling dreadful afterwards so definitely no chance I of sex) so I don’t have much hope for the month, think I’ll test a day or so before my period is due just to get the waiting over with!

Ooo the symptoms you described sound very promising! Could very well be implantation bleeding, really hope that is and you get a lovely BFP! I’d prob try to hold off testing for another couple of days if you can resist, just to try and get an accurate result. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Hey everyone, I’ve posted on here a couple of times. I’m currently 7DPO and TTC baby number 2. Yesterday, I noticed lots of creamy CM - definitely different for me at this part of my cycle. Had some cramping and backache yesterday and today I just feel like I would when AF is due to arrive. Not due until next weekend. January I was 2 days late for AF and February I was 6 days early 😳... I really don’t know if my period is coming super early again or whether these could be symptoms? Anyone else had similar? Xx

@TeeBee89 yeah I am.. thought I got a peak on Thursday night but the test line wasn't as dark although it was close.. bit confusing as I have a faint line but it's still staying steady as the days go by! They say your peak can't happen at night but I'm convinced mine did as I have cramps today after an almost positive on Thursday. Aww that's great, moving is stressful enough but two days will be okay. Don't stress about it there's always next month x

So girls, I tested this morning and only got a flashing face but my cheapy opk seemed darker, I tested again this evening and cheapy was super dark and I got a solid smiley! Do you think it's my lh surge or just because you are only meant to test in the mornings?

I feel like we've not DTD enough as DH has been working shifts so not had a chance.. on it tonight though 😂🙈

@Mrsmujic I’d say that’s your surge! You can test at any point in the day usually with OPK’s. In fact, the One Step strips I have actually tell you to not use morning urine. Xx

Hey @Mum2Girls19 👋 we’re the same! Started AF yesterday so CD 2 for me too ☺️ Are you ttc your third as well? That’s great about your chat with the GP and good to do a few tests. I’ve had a scan and bloods and smear just to double check all is well and it is so fingers crossed for a BFP soon 😁

Hey @Twochews78! What age are your two kids? Fingers crossed you don’t have to wait long for another BFP 💖 I have two boys, 6 and 3 years old. I’d love another little boy, or a girl!

Love that post @TerryRose good to remind ourselves. And makes me feel a lot better that it’s normal to take so long. I had a D&C 8 months ago so I guess that has ‘reset’ everything so Im still in the 12 month window?! ☺️

@Confused678866 sounds very interesting! I guess give it a couple more days and you could try a FRER if you felt like you wanted to? I don’t want to be a bubble buster but in Jan I had something similar, loads of CM out of sync for me and I was SURE I was pregnant.. unfortunately it turned out I wasn’t. Not even a chemical.... i also had strange cycles for a bit, my GP put it down to possible recovery from the D&C and my cycles settling down from that. Things seem to be more regular now. I have everything crossed for you!! Keep us posted..

@Farfaraway1 It’s not so much the CM, it’s the cramping I’m getting to be honest. Not due AF until next weekend so I don’t really get it 🤷🏼‍♀️
I think I’ll hold out on the testing for a while to be honest as I’m not too hopeful anyway and don’t want to stress over trying to see lines! I’ve been off the pill since last September too so I’d have thought things would be a little more regular by now xx

Guys I think I'm almost at my peak! Maybe tomorrow morning? What do you all think.. I know you aren't experts lol but just opinions please. I had the same result (almost positive) on Thursday evening and I'm scared incase I don't hit my peak but this has to be it 😭.. I really hope I ovulate in the next day or so

I also know it's not positive by the way! I just want to know if you guys think my positive will be soon:)

@Confused678866 yes I agree to hold out on testing as long as possible (not that I’m any good at that 😂). Our bodies can be so strange sometimes and have no rhyme or reason. Last year I had a period 2 weeks after the previous one, for no apparent reason! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Farfaraway1 Haha yeah I'll say I'll hold out for as long as possible but who knows what that really means! 😂
Oh wow that is strange isn't it. Like you say, there's just no rhyme or reason for some things is there. My cramps have calmed down this morning just left with a dull ache in my back. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is anyone testing today? Would be amazing to get some Mother’s Day BFP’s!

@dunkedbiscuit I was tempted to test but it's still too early IMO. I'm 8DPO today. I had lots of cramping yesterday and backache - basically a milder version of what I get when AF is due. It's eased today but back is still aching a little. I know PMS and pregnancy symptoms are so similar though. My AF came 6 days early last month though so I'm really hoping that's not the case this month but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

How are you?? Xx

Hi everyone Ive been reading threads for a couple of months now and finally decided to actually join one I am currently 10 DPO on cycle #4 TTC for baby #1. Tried to resist the urge to test this morning with it being Mother’s Day but I couldn’t help myself, got bfn but I know it’s still a little early. I’ve been cramping for the past 4 days or so which is unusual for me, AF due Thursday and I’m pretty regular every 27/28 days. I had my implant removed Nov 9th 2020 after around 10 years on it!

Reading some of the comments have made me feel so much better, the TWW drives me crazy. Fingers crossed for everyone xx
