TTC March 2023

[ManifestingBaby2023]

Hey lovely ladies!

I saw a few other similar threads, but didn't know if anyone would join me for the TWW (I'm driving myself crazy) and if anyone else is hoping for that BFP this month!

[FertieBertie]

Hi, it's pretty hard to find girls on the exact same cycle but always nice to have someone close to yours. I'm technically not TTC after a chemical pregnancy but maybe next cycle I'm currently still waiting for my period so I can track next cycle.

[Un7breakable]

I'm 6 or 7 dpo (FF keeps changing its mind) TWW going slow. Not got much hope only DTD once. Looks like I'm going to have to take the next few cycles off as well 😩 so kinda hoping for a miracle. AF due Wednesday. How early can you test?

[lucya66]

Hey! I’m 3 dpo!

2 week wait is so hard. I have had sore boobs and vomited yesterday, which is so rare for me.

I am praying it’s my month. Cycle 5 of trying my first baby.

have used conceive plus lube and a moon cup to keep the sperm inside me….

baby dust to you :)

[ManifestingBaby2023]

@FertieBertie Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, all the baby dust for your next cycle!

I just came off my implant so not too hopeful for this cycle. I'm either 8/9 dpo or 5/6 dpo so trying to hold off on testing as long as possible!

They sound like really promising symptoms @lucya66! I keep symptom spoting amd pretty sure they are all in my head!

[lucya66]

I know it’s so slow isn’t it. What symptoms have you got so far?

[suz2285]

5 dpo over here! Also joined in another few threads...

Time is dragging as usual 😂

[ElleJones1]

I'll hop on, I've had three days of flashing smiles on ovulation tests so a bit behind but hoping for the March conception none the less x

[ManifestingBaby2023]

@lucya66 I don't know if they are actually symptoms or its me going i feel tired or is that just because I am! 😂

Welcome everyone! Its so nice to have people ttc this month with me! Good luck & lots of baby dust to us all! ✨

I've been reading all the different threads as well, this tww has really turned me a bit loopy! Have to keep telling myself that its okay if it doesn't happen this time ☺️

[Pitstop1986]

Hi! I'm 2dpo(ish) - I ran out of ovulation test sticks, but going by my cm and guessing that ovulation was on Wednesday, althoughit could have been yesterday...

Not holding out too much hope as only dtd on Sunday and last night and have had Covid this week.

This is cycle 4 of me ttc dc #2

[ManifestingBaby2023]

Welcome!

TTC is so hard, you instantly doubt yourself and wether it will be the month!

I've seen loads of stories of women getting pregnant from dtd once, so fingers crossed for all of us! 🤞🏻

Hello girls hope you don’t mind me joining… currently on my tww too… 4-6dpo atm, not sure as cycles are a bit longer some months after mmc last July .
baby dust to everyone and hope this months is full of bfp’s :)

[Pitstop1986]

I've been having lots of cm for the last 48 hours, so I'm guessing the first lot was my body truing to ovulate and failing, and now I'm going again?! Hard to tell without any ovulation tests left!!

[suz2285]

@pm24 how many dpo are you? I've been having tons of cm too but it's watery/creamy not fertile cm (I don't think - mine is different anyway) and I'm sure I had this while early pregnant last time!

4-6 dpo here so far with much more cm! Maybe it doesn't mean anything but it doesn't always mean ovulation, I've also got mild cramps the last few days 4-6 dpo as well... who knows 😂 could just be AF getting ready!

[suz2285]

Sorry! Tagged the wrong person! That was meant to be directed at @Pitstop1986 😂

Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to join :)


I’m 31 and TTC baby 2; we’re on cycle 3. My cycle is pretty regular at 31 days. I had a LH high on CD19 and BBT rise CD21. My Natural Cycles App predicted this was ovulation. My period is due 24/03.


We’ve tried SMEP this month so we’ve given ourself a good chance.


I’m feeling very bloated and my boobs are really sensitive - however I’m not sure if it’s just reading into things too much.


When will you all be testing? Technically first response should work from today/ tomorrow but I don’t want to set myself up for disappointment as I’ve seen so many chemicals lately.

[ManifestingBaby2023]

Hi everyone!

Absolutely anyone can pop on her ttc! I just couldn't find a thread with people at a similar point to me (my googling skills aren't the best)!

@Doodles18 So sorry to hear about you mc, this is our month! Baby dust to everyone ✨

@ELJ1502 I'm similar in not sure when to test! We are ttc #1 but have only just come off the implant so not sure if I ovulated on the 7/8 or around the 11th this month.

Ttc is such a hard journey, the not knowing is really killer. Plus everyone going "it will happen when it happens" or "just stress less"!

[ELJ1502]

@ManifestingBaby2023 I stopped all contraception in November but we didn’t actively start trying until January as o wanted to give my body the chance to remove the hormone.

We did the same with my first and we conceived in the April.

I think the worst part is the not knowing. You can do everything you think is right and still not conceive. I love Natural Cycles as it puts everything pretty plain and simple 😂

[ManifestingBaby2023]

The time also goes so slowly! I sweat ovulation is like woohoo im here and then the tww feels like a year! 😅

[Pitstop1986]

@suz2285 I thought that I was about 3dpo, but looks like I might have to restart. Once this ewcm changes, I'll start from 1dpo again. Technically I've had ewcm since Sunday, with a day break on Wednesday, which I thought was ovulation, then it started thick and fast again on Thursday! Still getting it today, but yesterday there was loads! I had to wipe a couple of times after doing a wee to make myself feel dry and it was thick on the toilet paper (sorry tmi!) Definitely ewcm, I like to check and stretch it between my fingers

[suz2285]

@Pitstop1986 sounds like you are restarting the DPO countdown, haha least it sounds like you've been dtd at the correct times!

@ELJ1502 welcome! I'll be planning to
Test around the time my period is due which will be around the weekend of 26th!

[ELJ1502]

Has anyone else tried the SMEP before?

[suz2285]

@ELJ1502 I've read SMEP but don't stick to it by the book... our usual timing is every 2 days anyway and then we time around ovu trying to hit all 5 days - 3 days before, day of and 1 day after, then we tend to go back to every 2, which usually falls in roughly with SMEP anyway if I'm right?

Natural cycles seems a decent app, I almost went for that one but I'm using fertility friend, but scanning tests in Premom cos it basically lays it out in numbers for you around opk time, which is better! Fertility friend is better for BBT... so I just use both 😂

[Pitstop1986]

My cm has dried up, so I'm restarting the tww today, calling today 1dpo and I'm estimating that AF will be due on 1st April.

Has anyone got any ideas how to keep myself distracted and to stop myself going mad over the next two weeks symptom spotting?!

[suz2285]

@Pitstop1986 nope no ideas cos it's the same over here 😂😂 7dpo and not feeling much today except I'm super grumpy and emotional but that could just be PmS 😂

[Un7breakable]

Feeling very down today. Spent the weekend surrounded by small children and getting asked if we wanted them, then started spotting this morning so I'm probably out this month. AF due Thursday.
