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

Hi all,

I don't know whether I am being silly, but this tww really does turn me into an obsessive wreck.

I am just feeling so deflated today. I keep searching the internet for anything and everything to do with conception for people with the same dpo as me (8/9 days). I have read about so many women who have had symptoms such as nausea, ewcm, sore boobs etc. I have had nothing but some cramping and a back ache on days 5/6 dpo... but nothing since.

I guess this post is just a moan really and to ask if anybody else has had next to no symptoms but still got a bfp? I am going to start resting from tomorrow when I am 9/10 dpo. My frer arrive this afternoon xx

@Sanda12 , no, I haven't but I'll have a look. Is it online?

@Sanda12 , I've just got it on kindle. Assuming that's the correct thing?

@DreadedTWW , I think we're all guilty of it. Unfortunately there's no right or wrong way to feel. No symptoms doesn't mean you're not pregnant and symptoms doesn't mean you are. The best thing to do is try and relax, which is much easier said than done but I try to accept that once I've done my bit, the rest is out of my control and there's always next month. I had no symptoms with my previous pregnancy until I missed my af. It was only after my af was due I got sore boobs and felt nauseous. It did end in miscarriage but that's completely unrelated to the lack symptoms prior to my af due date.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you but in the meantime, there's plenty of support here!

@Lee1995 Thank you :). I know you are right, I have no idea why I am being so irrational. I am really sorry to hear about your MC and I wish you all the best with your journey xx

@DreadedTWW

Thank you. You too!

I expect so - I found it simple and useful on timing sex. Only read it a month ago so I’ll let you know if it works immediately 😂 it’s had some good reviews !!

I'm having a mini melt down 😭 I'm CD 12 and have been using the clear blue fertility monitor (gifted from a friend). Never used opks before but it told me to start testing on CD 6, tested everyday and only had a low reading (goes to high, then peak). Getting worried I'm not ovulating at all, I only have 25 day cycles so if I don't ovulate soon my luteal phase will be really short. Any thoughts ladies?

@Sanda12 I've started reading it. Hope it helps you!

Hi everyone,

Is it too late for me to join? It’s really amazing to see so many supportive ladies all going through this - I haven’t told any family or friends yet because I don’t really want advice from them at the moment (however well meaning they are) about “why” we haven’t conceived yet. It feels so private and I am enjoying keeping it between me and DH.

I’m 32, DH is 35 and we are TTC for baby #1 in our 3rd cycle now. I have a thyroid condition (Hashimotos) but my levels are fine and I’m fit and active, but can’t help worrying it might be difficult for us to get that BFP.

@KM11 I am in the same position as you with 24/25 day cycles and had a mini meltdown over the clear blue advanced fertility monitor. I only got a positive OPK on my advanced clear blue in the first month I used it but it only allows testing once a day, so the first morning urine might miss the LH surge. I’ve started using internet cheapies and boots OPK too. Does this picture look like a positive on day 12? My EWCM and temping seems to suggest I’m ovulating but no BFP yet! I really thought I’d be a natural earth mother and think “it’ll happen when it’s meant to” but each time af arrives I feel more disappointed. The good bit is of course the BDing and luckily DH is much more relaxed about all this than me! Fingers crossed today I’m OV’ing so the dreaded 2WW can start

Sprinkling lots of sticky baby dust to all of you for some BFPs this month xxx

@SunflowerIris definitely looks like a positive. This is cycle #3 for us too, I'm 35 and DH is also 35 so time is not exactly on my side. I am fit and healthy though and def don't feel my age. I wish I'd not used it tbh but it was gifted by a friend who had purchased in error as she has very long cycles. I did think about it missing my lh surge but its supposed to detect estrogen and give a high reading and so far nothing but low readings. I'm annoyed as been saving dtd for when it said high!! Worried I might have missed it now, have dtd few times so fingers crossed.

Good luck to you x

Thank you -you too.

Is anyone 39 or over here like me? Is anyone NOT married? And trying to conceive?

Thank you dunkedbiscuit

@Sanda12 , I'm not married and trying to conceive but I am 26.

@lee1995 oh, that’s a good age to be trying ...! Hope the SMEP book might help you ... :)

@Sanda12 thank you for the recommendation. I'm nearly finished reading xx

@DreadedTWW sorry you are feeling deflated, I don’t remember any noticeable symptoms at all when I was pregnant with my first so don’t write this month off yet ❤️

My AF is due Tuesday / Wednesday (depending which app I look at) and I’ve been feeling crampy today on and off so fear the witch is on her way 😞

You’re welcome -I found it useful advice ...

@dunkedbiscuit thank you lovely. I am wishing you all the luck in the world. I really hope that AF doesn't rear her ugly head for you xx

@Mrsmujic I am a day behind you at 4dpo. No cramps or sore boobs at all yet. This is our fourth month ttc and it’s getting so stressful. I am trying to relax and not worry too much but I will be going into night shift work in May and I am so worried that it will affect us trying to conceive. Fingers and toes are crossed. Best of luck to everyone xxx

Do you think that mood going low is a sign AF on way and not pregnant? It feels like it to me now since so long trying. My mood dips and I think that’s it I’m out this month. I wonder if mood would dip if pregnant though. I’m guessing it would feel different... I was pregnant once and lost it but I don’t remember the mood thing. Was just so surprised by a BFP at the time

Hi everyone 🙂 I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else before... I'm usually pretty dry down below, sometimes it's even uncomfortable to wipe and usually get ewcm when I wipe only once or twice, could miss it if I'm not looking for it. This cycle ewcm started on cd10 and increased until cd12 when I got my peak and ovulation pains (yesterday). Yesterday I also had a blob of creamy cm when wiping and then more ewcm the next time I wiped. I've NEVER had creamy cm like that before, maybe a tiny streak on a tissue if any at all but this was the size of a 50p! I had a small amount of creamy cm today too. Ive also never had that amount of ewcm for so long before. Has anyone ever had a cycle where their cm increases a lot compared to normal without doing anything differently or had ewcm and creamy cm on the same day?

I was out today and picked up a cheap (£1) early test and couldn’t help myself when I got home. 10 DPO and came back BFN. Don’t know why I did it to myself. I have a clearblue one I might try on Monday/Tuesday now as boobs have been more tender than usual

@Irishgirl1990 I'm at 6dpo today, no normal symptoms to report but I've noticed my immune system seems to have weakened?! I have psoriatic arthritis in my right hand and it's flared up for the first time in ages and also have a mouth ulcer?! I've been getting a couple of cramps/sharp pains but no nausea or other symptoms. @Dogmum13 I also had really pale yellowy thick cm for a few days after ovulation, never had that before?! I've definitely noticed more changes this cycle but may well be mind over matter! I'm trying not to think too much about it. I set my app at 32 days but going by my opk I think I may be on a 35 day cycle or ovulated later in the cycle? Will have to wait and see! 🙈 Xxx
