TTC March 2023 babies 🌸🌷🌿🐇🐣

[BiscuitLover3678]

Here’s hoping!

I’m with you @BiscuitLover3678 - we are taking a break after this cycle until September for a number of reasons, I’m actually looking forward to it in a weird way

Hello all back again from last month. TTC second baby cycle 2. Am 1dpo I think so long two weeks ahead 😂 how is everyone doing? Managed to dtd 3days before expected ov, and 1 day before. Was all set to dtd ovulation night until husband came home drunk and fell asleep 😂 wasn't best pleased! Dtd at lunch time today (day afternoon expected ovulation but probs too late!) Good luck everyone

Hello all, hope its OK for me to join.
This is month 7 of ttc for me and the husband. It will be baby number 5 for us.
I'm currently 2dpo so keeping my fingers crossed for this month. I've properly tracked BBT this month and used ovulation sticks too, so hopefully I've got everything right!

Hello all, I am CD7 of TTC cycle 2. I'm totally new to TTC and still finding it odd that I've spent most of my life trying not to get pregnant! Good luck to all this cycle 😍

I'm also 1dpo!! Cycle buddies 😂 we managed to dtd on Thursday night and Friday night (positive clearblue opk on Friday and Saturday) pretty sure I actually ovulated yesterday morning though as I get ovulation pain. We didn't dtd on the day of ovulation either... so maybe I am out too!! Who knows!!

Ah cool! Good luck. Sounds like you are in with a good chance so fingers crossed!

4dpo here… it was a half hearted attempt this month but we DTD day of peak and two days before that so probably 1 and 3 days before ovulation so in with a chance still hopefully. This next week is going to drag. Good luck everyone!

Yep definitely in with a chance @Charl881 hope the wait goes quickly for you!

@MountainMummy95 yes that is exactly it and some months it makes it super unenjoyable as you just feel like you are permanently waiting for something 🤣 what cycle day are you on? I am CD3 so due to ovulate in just over a week x

Hello everyone, I come and go from these threads as I get obsessed and go crazy.
but here I am again. I was looking for a July TTC group but came across ‘ttc a March baby’… and I’ve always wanted a March baby so maybe it’s a sign 😬😬

so I’m TTC #3, I have an 8yr old and 4yr old boys, I had a ruptured ectopic in July 2020 and lost my right tube. Im 35yrs and overweight (just can’t get the motivation to shift it).
I'm just at the end of cycle 8, waiting for AF any moment. I have 12 LP but not sure when I ovulated this cycle as wasn’t testing properly and it does vary for me over a few days. I’m testing negative on tests so 99% sure AF will turn up today or tomorrow.

cycle 7 I did some bloods and had low progesterone so looks like I didn’t ovulate, which has made me anxious. Will repeat them all again this cycle.

so onwards and upwards. I take vit B12, folic acid, zinc and vit D, have done for last 10months. Does anyone take anything different? I vaguely remember some supplements that weren’t bog standard being mentioned in previous threads… my OH isn’t taking anything

CD10 here, first month trying and only stopped pill 2 months ago.

Already impatient for fertile window and tracking temps on FF app. Unsure on my natural cycles with only stopping pill recently but hoping the temp chart will guide me and I won’t miss ovulation.

Good luck!

I just take pregnancare but probably same vitamins. I did start dh on something but can’t remember the name atm! Someone else on here might know. Some male conception vitamins. We also use preseed.

@Mummyme87 you sound similar to me, I’m 34, also overweight with no motivation to shift it, and cycle 8 (maybe 9). I’ve started taking COQ10 which is meant to be good for egg quality and I take extra strength vitamin D. Good luck!

Also completely understand you wanting to take a break @Charl881 does that mean you’ll go back on contraception? I’m not sure what to do really. Tempted to get fertility tests but it’s so expensive and I know most places say you should wait a year.

@BiscuitLover3678 no we’ll just try and avoid DTD around the fertile window, it’s mainly because I’m looking to move jobs, but obviously be good to have a mental break too. Not going back on contraception though as obviously wouldn’t be gutted if a mistake happened!

It’s worth speaking to your doctor to see what they can offer. Mine is doing some blood tests next cycle because of my two chemicals, wasn’t expecting them to be able to help at all.

Currently 2dpo... with my first baby I caught first try. I tested at 11dpo and it was stark negative. Tested again at 14 and there was a clear positive, so going to try my very best to only test after 12dpo at least. But I dunno how I will manage!!

Ah how lucky to have got a BFP on your first try! I hope this is your month! I am really hoping it's our month too! X

Interesting about the supplements. I am just taking the seven seas trying for a baby ones (and husband nothing) but may look into some others if no bfp in next few months. Hope everyone ok today

@peacelily101 Yes that sounds great and you’ve got a good chance. Are you charting etc to know when you will have ovulated or are you going off past cycle patterns?

Hi all,
I'm 1 DPO today. TTC a second child, I'm 38 and currently 2nd cycle after MMC in March, only had 1 AF since as it took ages to come post-mc. I've been tracking using OPK for last 2 months, I don't bother with BBT much as I do weird shifts including nights at work. Not feeling very positive, didn't DTD as much as I wanted to again, husband was too tired yesterday!! God I hate the TWW, good luck everyone!

@peacelily101 Good news about the ewcm, sounds like ov is near! I did OPKs when I was trying for my DD 5 years ago and found them hard work, I had to do them in work and hide in the toilets! I’m just temp charting this time which is easier.
I only stopped the pill 2 months ago so no idea what my usual ov day would be, I can only go off my past data from 5 years ago when it was usually CD16 or 17.

@Cegbee Wishing you a quick 2WW, it feels such a long time doesn’t it! May I ask how old your first child is? Mine is 4 soon so I’ve left quite a big age gap (deliberately) but it means I’m quite a bit older this time round (36 next month) and keep wondering if it will be as straightforward as it was last time with TTC and pregnancy.

@vitahelp she'll be 3 in November so 3.5 ish by the time I have another at least. I conceived her when I was 35 without any issues. I try not to worry about my age though- it's one thing I can't control! I just worry about everything else instead 😆

It is frustrating isn't it when you don't get to dtd as much as you planned to isn't it @Cegbee good luck for this cycle. I am about 3dpo. My son will be 3 in April so probably have a three year gap.!
