Hoping for a BFP in March

[ladybuggoldfinch]

Hey

I thought I would start a group for those of us hoping for a nice and positive pregnancy test in March!

I am TTC after 2MC and a chemical. I have a son who is 2.5years and I will be 41 next month 😳. I have an appointment at the recurrent miscarriage clinic in a weeks time. I am keeping positive though and staying hopeful. 2022 is our year.

I am currently CD11 and giving the sperm meets egg plan a go!

@lottieb92 I'm 4dpo today and completely obsessing already. Trying to hard to convince myself I'm definitely out to try and reduce the obsession and sadness if I do get af but also still secretly hoping that it'll finally be the month! Caught myself drinking my 4th cuppa of the day earlier and worried I should probably be reducing my caffeine intake!

@kizzy97 sounds like maybe you had your peak over the weekend? Were you testing once or twice per day? Fingers crossed for you that you caught it this month!

Sorry to hear that @Decaffe I hate how our bodies do such weird things when ttc! I never usually spot or bleed between periods but since I've been trying I've had months where I've spotted at ovulation and months where I've spotted in the tww and months where I've spotted for days and days before af finally showed up late! So frustrating!!

So I had peak opk yesterday, so that would mean today's O day and tomorrow would be 1dpo right? Or have I confused myself 🤦🏽‍♀️

I finally got cross hairs on my fertility friend app. Weird thing is that natural cycles has my ovulation as Monday, but fertility friend thinks it must have been Saturday?

So I’m counting my DPO from Sunday and therefore 4dpo today. My breasts feel tender and hurt when I went for a walk earlier so I’ve started symptom spotting without meaning to!

@2019Mama, yes probably 1dpo tomorrow x

@BabyBird20 I cut out caffeine a couple of months ago because I’ve read it can also impact on TTC. I recommend slowly weaning yourself off - I started making pots of tea with 1 normal tea bag and 2 decaf and then making that pot of tea last a day with rehearing etc. The only caffeine I’m having now is from chocolate😂.

Looks like we are cycle buddies this month- when are you thinking of testing! Let me know if you’d start to feel anything 🤞

@GeraniumCedarwood thankyou.

Hi everyone,
Back from the February thread so just trying to catch up, seen a few familiar names on this thread.
Also some lovely BFP's which is amazing news.
I ovulation tested today and got a static smiley, but then I'm away tomorrow night on a hen do so a bit meh about it. Will try and jump on OH as much as I can but probably only get a couple of chances
My OH did his test today which meant we couldn't DTD any days prior either. hopefully get the results back from that so we can rule him out though. I've had an appointment for an ultrasound to check things which came through really quickly was expecting to wait 8 weeks. Doctor did tell me I've got to wait till June to be referred to Gyno as they say 12 months from last miscarriage, which is frustrating but nothing I can do.
I've gone back onto tablets for my anxiety so hopefully that will help me feel more positive about TTC, its definitely a roller coaster journey TTC.
Sending you all lots of love and baby dust, just reading peoples stories and the support on here has really helped me get through the last few months so thankyou all xxxx

Just adding myself to the calendar

@BabyBird20 glad I'm not alone! Which is why I live for these helpful threads haha... I couldn't tell husband he'd laugh at me suggesting that getting the house cleaned could ruin my chances of a baby this month.... especially as I asked for the cleaning to happen.. so that I could be relaxed and happy... whilst I try for a baby this month haha! SOS losing my mind.

Fumes must have gone to my head! As I am able to laugh at myself now

I currently do: a coffee in the morning and two teas during the day on average. So perhaps I should jump to the decaf as well!

Yikes - I have however, managed to be alcohol free this whole cycle since last AF started anyway (needed a pick me up that day) - I am not a drinker, but fam and friends manage to twist my arm. Luckily due to being a hermit this month I've avoided the peer pressure, might help somewhat, who knows!

@BabyBird20 I tested over the weekend and they were low, only tested the once each of those days due to work and then testing twice a day again from Monday, OPKs were low until Tuesday so idk what's going on. Will do my second OPK a little later and see what that says xx

@Bundaberg84 yay cycle buddy! Good luck 🍀 I'm due Tuesday so might not test until then but I don't feel particularly confident this month so might just hold out until AF is late late

@lottieb92 I decided to cut my caffeine right down a few months ago (because I grind my teeth and night and caffeine makes that worse) and now I have one proper coffee per day, in the morning, and the rest of the time I have decaff tea and coffee. I think if you're under the 200mg a day you're fine but I drink lots of tea and coffee so was definitely way over that before!

I have also cut down on drinking although we are going on holiday the week after I get my coil removed and will not be skimping on wine as I'm hoping that will be my last chance to make the most of it 🤞

I added myself to the list with my date to test but doesn't seem to showing

Congratulations to all the BFPs ✨

And virtual hugs to those who AF has paid a visit 😔

7DPO now according to Flo, haven’t properly ovulation tracked as we are still early days in TTC and just winging it for the time being.

Does anyone else find it hard to commit to certain things in the foreseeable future in case you get your BFP? It’s getting hard to make excuses for some things without telling people we’re TTC 🙈

Eek @GeraniumCedarwood we totally are cycle buddies . According to my app af is predicted Sunday 20th so technically I could test as early as Tuesday but will try and hold off I think! How about you? I def need to cut down on the caffeine then, I'm having about 6 big cups a day plus alllll the chocolate! I need to lose weight too really just can't get into the swing of it at the moment.

@lottieb92 def not alone! I was worried my trousers being too tight might prevent any potential implantation! I've gone a bit barmy already as I do every tww! It is the slowest time of the month isn't it! I think I'm going to try decaf too but will somehow have to hide it from my colleagues or they will instantly jump to thinking I'm pregnant 😬🙄

@kizzy97 argh its so frustrating isn't it! Hopefully it was your peak over the weekend as you'd managed to dtd quite a few times hadn't you?

@LEBee92 I know what you mean! I have a spa day booked in April with my mum and just keep thinking oooh if I'm successful ttc I won't be able to go! Also have a wedding in October that's meant to be abroad which I'm reluctant to commit to yet as could potentially be pregnant! Argh!

Yes I’m the same @BabyBird20 - haven’t had a spa day in ages then 2 have been organised for this year!

Can still do spa days pregnant!!!! Swimming/lounging around/treatments/food

I know @MummyMe87 - will still be going to lounge and swim and see my friends. Will just have to be inventive why I’m not getting in a hot tub or sauna if we’re lucky enough for a BFP and haven’t told people yet.

@BabyBird20 really frustrating! My OPK this evening was 0.19 so completely back to low now dtd CD 8, 9, 11, 14 (when my peak was) and a few hours ago (CD 16) so hopefully I've caught it xx

Had the tiniest bit of pink when I wiped this morning. 9-10dpo 🤔

@TeddyBeans- Implantation can happen between 6-12dpo right? Remember it can take a several days for hormones to enter in your system.

@BabyBird20 - I was thinking of testing Monday. But yes hard to hold out. I am having such tender boobs and bloating but trying to remind myself that it's probably just progestogen and not actual symptoms at this stage.

Think I can stop testing now 😂😍

@Natalie2304 stunning progression there! How exciting! xxx
