TTC March 2023 babies 🌸🌷🌿🐇🐣

Here’s hoping!

Congratulations @allthingssparkly !!

Fiiiinally got my peak OPK yesterday at bloody CD17 (ovulated cd13 last month so a huge difference!) we've been away all weekend which is why I've been quiet, managed to DTD every 3rd day this week but didn't get it done yesterday so need to make sure today and tomorrow we do for our last chance!

@Mummyme87 yeah my LP is 12days usually too.... hence trying to wait it out but with each try/ pregnancy I get less and less patient at waiting it out. I hope af doesn't come for you on Friday 🤞🏻

Yay for peak LH @Tropicana1 sounds like you'll have done as much as you can after the next 48hrs 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’ve had a painful intermittent pulse in my lower left abdomen this morning over 1-2hrs and occasional since. I’m trying not to get excited about the fact it could be implantation

10dpo and BFN on a cheapie, trying to stay positive. Have given in and ordered FRER to be delivered tomorrow

@Mummyme87 good luck! Fingers crossed for you.

I'm around peak ovulation time today according to my app but we have friends staying so going to DTD again tomorrow and then maybe once more later in the week just in case before settling in for my first TWW.

Life got busy and I haven't had a chance to get on here in a while but I got my BFP!

I should be 5+3 today. Fatigue and food aversions have already started to hit me hard and I suspect I might be surviving the first trimester on nothing but raw vegetables like I did with baby #1. It still doesn't completely feel real but I'm so excited

Congratulations @Camia lovely news

Congratulations @Camia

I'm 8dpo and I have a crampy belly this evening so it feels like af might come early 🥺

@Sausage1990 could be AF but equally could be implantation related. Keep the hope. I’m feeling out, no CM, my boobs are less sore to touch which could be a sign of dropping progesterone. I’ll do a cheapie test first thing then my FRER will come later, so maybe keep the FMU . Not sure, will see how I feel in the morning

@Mummyme87 it could be. We'll find out soon enough. I don't really have many symptom that are any different to pms. I'm keeping fingers crossed for you still 🤞🏻 not out yet

Argh I hate the waiting. I wish it was like on the computer game the Sims where you can get your character to poas as soon as they've DTD and it tells you if they're pregnant or not..that would be sooo much easier. I realise that's a really niche reference lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so confused, lm due on my period today apparently but I came off the pill on my last period so I’m not sure when my next period is but I did have my withdrawal bleed soon after stopping literally a day after. My boobs are sensitive and hurting I’m constantly weeing, I have no energy no matter how much sleep I’m having but we took a CB test last night and BFN, it does say take on the day of missed period but I was 12 DPO yesterday. I just know my body and it hasn’t felt right since I’ve ovulated. But is it because I’ve stopped the pill I’m feeling like this?

@Butterflygirl23 it’s hard because you now have all those symptoms you weren’t having before of a rise in progesterone, and they’re all the same as pregnancy symptoms. What are you basing the af due date on?

11dpo today, not yet tested

BFN on cheapie. Will try a FRER later just because. Think I’m most likely definitely out. I hate this last couple of days

It’s so frustrating!! The flo and clue app but said I ovulated earlier then I actually did. I could tell I ovulated by the mucus over 2 days I had so I’ve logged it on and it says I’m due on Saturday now. I did think because I’ve all pill all the symptoms I am getting is because of that! I am going re test tomorrow or Friday morning to be 100% sure

@Mummyme87

@Butterflygirl23 the app will be just taking averages of typical cycles or cycles based on being on the pill if you inputted data then. It will take a while for it to analyse your data and give better predictions.

Can I join? I have had an emergency scan as have the coil in and I'm 5 weeks! Very shocked

FRER negative. Very strongly think I’m out now. Suspect it would be positive by now if it had happened this month.
first cycle I think I’ve cried seeing a negative test. I’m just fed up I really am. When I had a ruptured ectopic two years ago, it was completely unplanned and I had booked a termination as it was really at a not great time of life. I then ended up with an ectopic and losing a tube the week before, I sometimes feel like the rupture/surgery/struggling to conceive again is a punishment for not wanting that pregnancy. I know it seems ridiculous.
I might email my GP and see if they can help at all. Do more bloods, check thyroid… not sure what else they would do as I have two kids already and they’ll probably say I need to lose weight

@Mummyme87 sorry to hear you had a BFN, the last couple of days of the TWW are rubbish when you are sure you’re already out.

First of all, your decision to terminate had nothing to do with the fact the pregnancy was then ectopic so please don’t guilt yourself. It’s also nothing to do with why it’s taking some time now. It’s completely normal to want a termination at some point and then want a pregnancy further down the line. Our feelings towards a pregnancy don’t affect it.

How long have you been trying now?

I have just had bloods done as I’ve been trying almost a year and had two chemicals in that time. They’ve all come back fine but it’s been good peace of mind for me to know I have no thyroid problem or clotting issues etc. Next step for us would be further tests I.E sperm analysis, ultrasound but I want to wait until it’s been a full year at least before we go down that route. As far as I’m aware, having previous children doesn’t stop the tests being done, it’s just you’re not entitled to free IVF.

I am overweight and the doctor has advised me to lose weight, which I already know I need to do, but I’m struggling with that mentally at the moment.

They won’t use that as a blocker to getting tests done.

Thanks @Charl881 i was just having a woe is me moment. That’s interesting that I can be referred for investigations, I thought they didn’t bother if you had had kids. I’ve completed non urgent form to GP re tests so hopefully will hear in the next few days.

onwards and upwards.
I'm going to clean the windows in a bid to occupy myself 😂

How much more real does it feel when you see those words 😍😍😍

Awww @allthingssparkly I'm literally so happy for you after seeing you on the past three months of posts I've been on! 🫶🏼

I'm 9DPO today.. 1 week prior to AF technically and normally have all sorts of various symptoms around now but so far no symptoms at all apart from achy boobs! Not sure if that's a good thing or not really but who knows... not long to wait now thank god!

@allthingssparkly so lovely!

@Mummyme87 sorry you're feeling down, I agree with @Charl881 those last few TWW days are the worst, the excitement and build up and then when you know you're out you just wait for af to arrive and feel so down that it's another month all over again!

My GP has text me to book a telephone appointment to discuss everything, I also said I wanted help with weight loss if there was anything going. Fingers crossed I get a good GP and they do some tests

@Mummyme87 let us know how it goes! I was surprised with how helpful my GP was.

@allthingssparkly thats great to see! How exciting.

@Tropicana1 eeek getting to the business end of the TWW for you. When do you think you will test?
