TTC March 2023 babies 🌸🌷🌿🐇🐣

[BiscuitLover3678]

Here’s hoping!

Second month trying and into the tww now... crazy how much I want to be pregnant now we're actually trying! Heres hoping this is the month

Hey @Maxime34 I'm 5dpo as well! And @Charl881 didn't realise we were cycle buddies for this one!

@Maxime34 @Charl881 @Tropicana1 I'm close too in terms of cycles! I believe I'm 7DPO but my boobs are aching and I'm worried my period is about to start. Still trying to be positive though ans this was my first month using OPKs, so I'm just happy to be learning more about my cycle. I'm finding this whole process a little lonely as I'm not telling friends and family (other than my sister) that we're TTC. Wishing the rest of you all the best and please keep us updated 😘

A BFN today, hoping I'm still in with a chance like @Charl881 said but I think I'm just going to wait and see does my AF come on Friday and then maybe test again over the weekend. Need to order some non digital tests for next cycle if i don't get a BFP this one.

@Tropicana1 @Charl881 even though not actively trying I'm 5dpo..our cycles are finally in sync @Charl881 !!

@MrsGrealish how have you found this month not trying? Hope you’re doing ok x

@Charl881 I'm been feeling more myself this past week and DH has been all over me like a rash..there's been a few pull and pray moments close to ovulation (totally misjudged ovulation this time) but defo feeling better and more relaxed 😎

Hi everyone, I'm probably 4-6 DPO now according to my app and I am feeling so weird! Suddenly have pointy nipples, appetite is all over the place and not keen on the smell of cooked meat (usually I'm a big meat eater). Also super tired and generally feeling heavy and bloated. Still 10 days until AF so I'm hoping these are all positive signs but it also seems way too early to have all these symptoms?! Going a bit crazy in this TWW even though it's only my first cycle. Hopefully I'm not just making it all up!

How is everyone else in the TWW keeping busy and distracted?

@allthingssparkly - now I know how you feel with a digital confirmation 🤩.. hope all is still well with you! Xx

Congratulations @HR2022 😍 I'm doing ok than you, apart from the tiredness and occasionally feeling sick! First midwife appointment has been booked and I'm temped to book an early private scan too 🥰

@allthingssparkly - when did you ring your docs? Did they see you or just refer you straight to a midwife? I think I'll ring them on Friday :)

I think I'd like an early scan if I can too! Although not sure how much they are 👀..

Glad all is good, how many weeks are you now? I'm similar slight nausea but nothing horrendous (yet!) sore boobs and really tired haha xx

@HR2022 yay for the digital!

I'm 8dpo today and have done my first very early cheapie 🤣 negative obvs. Got some cramping, not really thinking this month is it at all but it's definitely making for a more relaxed TWW

@Tropicana1 there's still time! I'm 9DPO and desperately forcing myself to wait till the weekend to test as I start a new job tomorrow and don't want to be crying in the toilets in my first week if I'm not pregnant 😂. Please all give me strength to hold out 🏋

I’m 7/8dpo so I tested this morning and will test each morning until AF is due… I just find it easier to know I’m allowing myself one test a day rather than to torture myself trying not to test only to give in and test anyway.

I don’t feel confident for this month though. I’m fairly relaxed about it despite the daily testing because I don’t think we DTD enough or on the right days this month so in a way the pressure is off.

@HR2022 I filled out a self referral form to the community midwifery team and within a few days they emailed me details of my first appt which is taking place I my doctors.

Early scans are around the £50 mark in my local area, worth having a nosy at places that do them near you.

I'll be 6 weeks on Saturday going off my LMP.

Xx

@Charl881 I'm exactly the same!

Ok so I had a load of creamy discharge today which I’ve had the two cycles I had a chemical. Did a cheapy and sure there is a hint of a line? But FRER was BFN this morning so probably nothing. Unedited and inverted pics attached.

I can definitely see a line @Charl881 congratulations!!!! So early too, you'll get a fab line progression I'm sure!

@Maxime34 Thank you, I’m definitely not taking it as a positive yet as I’ve had far too many bad experiences with evap lines etc but I’m glad that at least you can see it too! I have FRERs in and AF not due until the weekend so plenty of time to see what happens…

I'm keeping everything crossed for you @Charl881 I know what you mean about keeping emotions under control. I've had two MC too and I think everything is so full of fear now which is so sad. I miss how I used to feel about TTC. I'm 8dpo today too and seeing this has really made me want to test... I'll see how I feel in the morning! Keep us posted! X

That’s the thing, I feel like even if I get a BFP I will just expect it to end in a loss so I don’t get my hopes up either way these days which is sad but sensible. I’m sorry to hear about your losses, have you had any tests at all?

good luck for when you do POAS!

@Charl881 I can defo see a line! My boobs have been itchy all day so I did a one step there and got a faint greyish line. Residual hcg, evap line or new pregnancy (v unlikely)

@MrsGrealish this was a one step too so maybe they are just dud tests! As always, only time will tell I guess for both of us.

@Charl881 I'm waiting on some blood test results at the moment but my GPs are a nightmare to get hold of so they barely know what my situation is. I've spoken to a private specialist who was helpful and they've put me on progesterone but this is my first month using those so time will tell if they're beneficial or not. They said I had to wait until 7 weeks past my last MC to do further testing so I'm just waiting at the moment. Hoping I fall pregnant before then but that's very optimistic thinking. Have you had any tests or answers from anyone? I find the not having answers the hardest part.

@Charl881 I've got loads of the one step cheapies and tested yesterday and today (Ben's 7/8dpo) and definitely stark white negatives compared to yours. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
