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

@dunkedbiscuit Thank you. Wishing you luck on your journey ❤️

@Confused678866 I know the feeling, I've been ttc for 15 months and currently on cycle #17. It's nof easy but you just keep going because at least then there is still a chance 🙂

@Dogmum13 Thank you for the message. We've only been trying since January so I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous and I'm already lucky enough to have a little boy but since realising how short my cycles are realising it's not great, I just feel a bit lost with it all. I'm not quite sure what the next steps are as the GP won't offer any help until it's been 12 months.. j don't think I can go through this every month for another 9 months just guessing my way through!

What's your situation? Xx

@Confused678866 dp has 1 testicle so possibly lower sperm count and I have been referred for endo last August. I had my progesterone test done in January and all was grand. Dp is on the waiting list for sperm analysis but they aren't doing them atm because of covid. We can't get referred to the fertility clinic until he has it so everything is paused atm unfortunately. I've joined Benenden so I can speed up my endo referral in June. Endo could be the problem, if it is then we should hopefully be able to conceive after I have a laparoscopy. If its not that and we're no further on with his sperm analysis by then, then we will pay for private initial fertility tests to see what is wrong and what we need.

@Dogmum13 Oh gosh, what a journey you are on. Benenden sounds like a good move though, hopefully that speeds things up for you 🤞🏻
I hope it all goes well for you and your partner and you start to get somewhere!
How is your partner with it all? I only ask because me and my partner are already arguing constantly.. he doesn't appreciate I'm a little down at the moment and he's the kind of person who when he worries, he takes it out on others so that's what he's currently doing but he obviously doesn't admit that. I also feel he isn't very sympathetic towards me either. You know when you just need a couple of days to take stuff in, process it, get over it and move on? Well he doesn't seem to get that. His words were 'I hope you're not going to be a nightmare for the next how long because that won't help anything' all while I'm juggling a toddler while working from home xx

@Confused678866 we both get a bit sad and down at the end of some cycles but nothing we can't deal with. Oh no he wouldn't say anything like that to me, it's not in his nature. We both just try not to let it get to us xx

@Dogmum13 Ahh that's nice to hear, glad he's supportive!

Looking for advice! TTC baby #1 so this is all new to me!
On CD 15 (AM) I got my peak
DTD lots the week before through to CD18 to make sure I covered all possible chances.
On CD 22 I had some light pink spotting when I wiped. On CD23 I had a bit more light pink when wiped. This has now finished. I've had cramping very bad for the 48 hours I was spotting, headaches throughout and started feeling constipated the last few days. Today is CD25, decided to do a FRER this morning as AF due Monday which makes it 6 days before my period. Got a BFN! I also did an IC just now and got a BFN. I should be around 9/10dpo looking at the dates here and thought I would of got a BFP on a FRER this morning!! has anyone had late positives before ?? X

Exciting! @dreadedTWW @dunkedbiscuit I have a sore and slightly solid right boob! I have bought the clear blue week test which says you can test up to 5 days early but read the reliability is better closer to the date of your predicted af, thinking maybe the day before I'm due....if I'm patient enough!
What are you both thinking? any early symptoms?

So AF is now away and time to start Trying again. Onto cycle 4 of trying! I know it's not long but this is killing me😭 and OH is so eager for it to happen. He's so positive about it but now I'm not I'm so negative saying it'll never happen!!

I think Ovia app is just as confused as me and my body 🤣🤣🤣 honestly don't know if I'm coming or going at the moment... I got allll the signs that AF was on her way then nothing and then the app updated to the 2 lots of predicted fertile time then to the one 🤣

@sylvie1001 I am so impatient I wont be able to hold out until the day before AF I will likely start testing from 9/10 dpo. I was fine yesterday but cramps and backache today. Boobs don't feel any different but my uterus feels heavy if that makes sense . I will check in amd see how you are feeling tomo xx

Morning everyone, I took a frer this morning and it was undeniably a bfp 🥰 will take a digital over the weekend so I can see it in writing lol but I can't quite believe it!

@Confused678866 am sorry to hear the doctor couldn't provide you with much help yet, I hope you are feeling a bit more positive today and you get some answers soon...I have read on the forums that a lot of people drink raspberry leaf tea to lengthen their luteal phase and it helps a lot of people, could be worth a try? Also progesterone cream may be worth looking in to as well? Xx

Congratulations @TeeBee89! How many dpo are you? 👶💖👣

@Mrsmujic

Congratulations *@TeeBee89*! How many dpo are you? 👶💖👣

Thank you 🥰 I'm 11dpo today, so don't want to take a digital too early as I've heard they aren't as sensitive as FRERs and don't want to waste them 🙈 will try to hold off until Saturday at the earliest as AF is due Sunday xx

That’s very exciting!! How long have you been trying and is this your first? Xx

@Twochews78 this is my first cycle we've been trying and it's for our first baby, so feel pretty overwhelmed and lucky...also feel that I'm being pranked and just in one of my vivid dreams 🙈 it's all vvv early days at the moment but am keeping everything crossed that it's a sticky bean!

Hi. Im currently 4 days late and have had 3 negative tests so far.
We've been TTC now from December. I'm slightly anxious due to my age, almost 41.
Ive had early pregnancy symptoms but you can sometimes confuse these with PMS too.
How long should I wait before testing again?
Tried a FRER one this morning which is negative. My periods are regular normally so this is very strange.

Huge congrats on your Bfp @TeeBee89 keep us updated xx

@TeeBee89 congrats💗 xx

Congrats @TeeBee89, delighted for you, hopefully your luck will rub off on rest of us🤗 5 weeks after mc still no AF, think she’s trying to piss me off🤣

@DreadedTWW @Court2611 thank you both 😊

@Lollipop25 thanks lovely 😊 sorry to hear about your mc, hope that AF makes an appearance soon and you can get the ball rolling on your next cycle. Sending lots of baby dust your way 💫

@TeeBee89 Thank you for your message. I'm not sure what to do yet.. it all seems such a minefield and I'm hearing good and bad things about so many different things.

I'm not sure I want to keep trying at the moment because I can't take the heartbreak every month.

Congratulations on your positive test, amazing xx
