TTC March 2023 babies 🌸🌷🌿🐇🐣

[BiscuitLover3678]

Here’s hoping!

Hey! I had a chemical last cycle and I knew I was pregnant because I had strong implantation symptoms but zero PMS symptoms. I had no sore boobs, no normal pregnancy symptoms at all! It was my lack of my normal PMS symptoms and felt so normal at the point that was a sign for me so I hope it could be for you too x

@vitahelp I'm CD13 and also feeling impatient! No signs I'm approaching ovulation but my cycles are 32 days. @allgoodthings84 agree re. symptom spotting. Last month I was sure I was pregnant but just had PMS, and so was really disappointed when my period came.

I could be in this for the long haul (who knows 🤷‍♀️) and don’t fancy the ups and downs as I can get quite obsessive over things like this so going to not test before AF due either.

@vitahelp good news hopefully ovulation is around the corner.

5dpo today..in the non exciting territory. I feel in 2 minds when to test as don’t wanna see lines for them to disappear like last month 😩😩

also can’t work out how we fell straight away after the mc when it had taken soo long to fall.

quietly getting my hopes up. After a year of this journey. I’m fed up now. We clearly can get pregnant. Just don’t know if it’s takes 1 cycle or 11 cycles.

good job I have holiday next week. Trying to pass the time!

@Angie2018 sorry you had a chemical too! I definitely had no signs with my DS but I feel like after the chemicals I know my body better, plus would be a bit of a fluke to fall again. Maybe it’s because I’m less fussed this time as we’re thinking of taking a break anyway so I’m just not imagining as many symptoms… time will tell!

@Charl881 yeah I definitely think it's easy to symptom spot when you want something so much but then miss symptoms when they are really there because you aren't thinking about it! Yeah it's a shame it was a chemical but I am really just trying to see the positive and proves we can get pregnant when the right egg arrives! It will probably happen when you have a break and aren't thinking about it 💜

@Charl881 did my first nearly negative test today. Sad times. Excited for your tests 🤞

🥲 I hope you’re feeling ok

in Fertile week but not DTD at all so 🙄

@BiscuitLover3678 ooh what CD are you now? Honestly I'm living my life through you girls now 😂

I'm ok. A bit moody. Likely pms and the crash of hormones. It's hateful tbh

@MrsGrealish that must be a relief and gutting all at once!

So after convincing myself this month isn’t my month, tonight I’ve had the teeniest tiniest bit of spotting. Literally a couple of pink dots. Probably nothing but I’m 9dpo so obviously have now swung the other direction and got my hopes up far too much.

Is DH not keen @BiscuitLover3678?

@Charl881 I'm very hopeful. Any time I've been pregnant zero pms symptoms, no sore boobs nothing..fx lovely xx

@Charl881 it's bittersweet. I'm so programmed to wanting 2 lines it's difficult to see them turn to nothing. But I've been v careful need a fresh cycle to continue my plan 😂

Well I wasn’t imagining the spotting but it was in fact AF arriving six days early! God knows what is going on with my cycles, I did ovulate early but only by a few days. At least I’ve saved a fortune on tests this month 😅 Good luck everyone else.

@Charl881 Im sorry to hear that, I’m half expecting a random cycle as well so feeling wary. I hope AF days go by quickly for you then you can start again.

Any charters out there who can help? I’m wondering if it’s worth DTD today or is it likely I’ve ovulated based on the dip yesterday (unreliable reading due to being woken early by DD) and the rise today?

I was hoping for a sharper rise than that but it may be more gradual, I suppose tomorrow will tell me a lot.

@Charl881 Aw I'm sorry!! Its so frustrating when you dont know exactly what your body is doing!

I tested this morning using fmu with an IC... so much for holding out 🙄 It was blank. Totally and completely. I'm only 8dpo... could it just be too early? Or am I out??

@MountainMummy95 When I got pregnant with DD I first tested at 11dpo and the line was extremely faint - if I had tested at 8dpo if would have been blank. So you’re definitely very early and not out yet.

@MountainMummy95 I tested completely negative at 12dpo with my daughter and then very much positive the next day (both fmu), so bfn at 8dpo definitely doesn’t mean you’re out ☺️ 🤞🏼

CD15 today and got some EWCM this morning so should be on the run up to ovulating now! Normally ovulate cd20 these days (post bub), but hoping it might be a bit earlier as it would be nice to go back to shorter cycles again.

Thanks guys... this makes me feel bit better! I guess I should just hold off now until closer to the end of the week.

Oh @ThePodParent... exciting 🤞🤞🤞

Ah sorry AF came @Charl881 was your luteal phase the same length? It’s supposed to be. Mine is always 12days

8dpo is very early for testing @MountainMummy95 with my DS2 I tested a possible something 10dpo and a clear positive 11dpo, my period would have been due at 13dpo

I'm CD6 now so will start doing OPK tomorrow. Not sure if I’ll bother temping as I wake so frequently at night. I usually ovulate CD11-15, typically CD13. Did my LH and FSH bloods yesterday so will see what they are like on Tuesday when I’m back at work. I’ve started these Wild Nutrition vitamins also and so has my OH. I’m debating buying omega 3 and CoQ10 or whatever it’s called as it doesn’t seem to be in it and I know it’s good

@Mummyme87 no it was 9 days whereas usually it is 12 days! But I guess two chemicals in a row has thrown it off a bit. I’m not too fussed as I think it will be good to have a couple of normal cycles now to see what’s going on, and I’m due blood tests at the doctors as well to see if there is anything underlying causing them.

Ironically still on for a March baby if we do try this cycle (did say we were taking a break but not unsure) as next DD would be 26th March 😂

@Charl881 yes the chemicals may mess with things. I would so love a March baby, always wanted a spring babe. Cycle 9 now though so not getting hopes up

@Charl881 sorry about AF hun 😕
