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!

Welcome @GeekyMina ! How far along in your cycle are you? I had a few threads previously where most of the other girls have gotten pregnant, so the chat dries up!

I'm 8dpo. Getting flutters in my lower belly and I can swear my boobs feel different, but following me getting excited about every little twitch in the few previous cycles, I'm trying to not let myself get too excited! When first pregnant with dd, my boobs felt like I'd just done a mega chest day in the gym and they're nothing like that at the moment! Only 2 more days to wait until I can test!

@GeekyMina hi! No advice I'm afraid but do keep us posted and fingers crossed for you! 🤞
@Pitstop1986 sounds promising! I feel bad for wishing the days away but I just want it to be Tuesday already (although I just know I'm going to be disappointed, so many I don't want it to come round 😅)

@Angelselevenx hey, no AF yet my temps very up and down still high but I'm not hopeful I'm just waiting on AF showing now.... I've got no HPT left I've POA OPK 😂😂😂 it's getting dark again and I'm taking it as a sign AF is on the way because LH surges a little before AF and my FRER on Fri was a BFN so I think my temp might plummet tomorrow it usually drops the day before... altho it dropped today from yesterday its not as much as it usually would be so I think I might see that drop in the morning... just want to get on with my nx cycle... I've drive myself insane again this cycle testing early and reading too much into what I was sure was pregnancy signs! Clearly not 😂😂😂 so nx cycle I'm not buying any HPT I'm going to temp still and use OPKS upto ovulation then I'm not going to give it a second thought until after AF if it's late xxxx

Morning! Af arrived for me this past weekend so I’m out. Onto my 6 month of trying.

I have my first acupuncture session booked this month and I will use the fertlily cup and pressed to maximise chances.

we took an at home exseed sperm analysis test and all normal there.

baby dust to you all.

@Bellabeemarie how are you doing today? How's your temp looking? I know what you mean, I haven't taken any LH since O day and a few days after but maybe I should to see if mine gets darker with AF. I'm due AF on 01/04 and my temps dropped a bit so I assume I'm out this month, currently 6DPO. Xx

I'm 9dpo. Caved and did an IC this morning but stark white negative. I had convinced myself that I was pregnant as well!

My resting heart rate has jumped up a few beats per minute over the past couple of days, so not sure what that's all about. I thought that my boobs felt a bit sore yesterday, but I'm probably imagining that, my lower abdomen feels heavy and my bowels have been sluggish the last couple of days. All of these are also pre- menstrual for me, so I'm really overthinking everything and just thinking wishfully that it's a baby! 🙈

@Angelselevenx I was so tired lastnight I fell asleep with my ovusense in my hand and woke up at 5am it's goto be left in for 6 hrs min so I couldn't temp this morning 😂😂😂 I was so mad with myself loool

Still no AF and no signs yet still a waiting game 😬

Don't count yourself out this early try and stay optimistic 🫶

@Bellabeemarie did you manage to take your temp this morning? I'm 7DPO now and temps shot up but who knows! I had an intense pinching like sensation last night on and off for about an hour but seems to have subsided now, just feels like I can feel my ovaries this morning 😂

@Angelselevenx looking promising! I don't track temperature due to shift work, but I'm really curious as to what would happen with mine...

Might start tracking next month, just to see, there may be a few erroneous results, but the overall trend would still be there, surely?

@Pitstop1986 I'm hoping so, but don't want to get my hopes up 😩

You can input if your sleep is interrupted etc but yeah the overall trend is there and you only need 3 hours of non interrupted sleep to track your BBT. Not sure if that makes a difference between day or night sleeping though, natural cycles customer service is really good so might be worth asking as I'm sure you won't be the only one!

@Angelselevenx yeah hun, huge temp drop today I think AF is about to show her face I've started cramping, I'm okay this month I can have a drink nx weekend for my birthday with no BFP this month....

On to the next hey 🫣

Got my fingers crossed for a BFP this cycle for you tho keep me updated please 😁

@Bellabeemarie you're not out until AF arrives! But every cloud has a silver lining and you can have a drink! Do you have any photos of your graph today?

Of course! AF is due 01/04 so will keep you updated.

10dpo was so so so so far from expecting this just now... I can't even start to get a tiny bit excited because I just feel like I'll have another cp and that it will be all my fault. I honestly has convinced myself I was out and I drank an entire bottle of wine last night after not drinking a drop of anything for a month. I feel so stupid and I'm so worried that's going to have completely ruined my chances of this being a sticky one now 😭🙄🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️x

@Angelselevenx I've been so rubbish with my temp this month 🙄😮‍💨 but here it is xxx

@Angelselevenx my picture quality is rubbish 😕

@HannahLouD congratulations!!! That's amazing news! Don't worry about the wine, I was about 4+2 with DD and had a mega headache and was in a fowl mood after a stressful day at work. Got a bottle of wine on the way home and drank the lot that evening, only to realise afterwards that AF was late and the next day got a bfp. She's a perfectly happy and healthy 15 month old now!

@HannahLouD oh wow! Congratulations! Oh my goodness, forget the wine, seriously. Can't be changed now and I really don't think you can feel guilty. I spoke to my dr recently about my loss and he said unless you were chain smoking or doing loads of drugs........ no damage is/was done! please don't feel guilty and just enjoy this moment xx

Welllllllll AF has just shown up! I'm surprisingly okay this month I don't feel sad or upset 😊

Cd1 I'm looking forward to relaxing over the next 2 weeks and not thinking about ttc.... its so mentally draining this 2ww has well and truly took it out of me 😫

@Bellabeemarie that's such a great attitude to have. You can have Tuesday wine tonight and chill! I hope you are ok xx

@ElleJones1 ❤️ some cycles I get really down, but it's my birthday 10th April and I've got a night out planned for nx Fri so I can have a drink now AF has shown... also its my youngest sons birthday in April and my step sons and we've just started house renovations so I've got alot to keep me occupied over this next cycle so I'm hoping I won't have time to sit and over analyse anything 😅

I'm going to start myo-inositol today I have PCOS and I've read good reviews with this bringing ovulation forward and helping people with PCOS so I'm actually quite excited for this cycle ☺️

Not sure I can say I'll have the same enthusiasm if it's a BFN in April but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it 🤭 xxx

@HannahLouD Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳 that’s a great line for 10dpo!! The wine won’t have any effect at all. Good luck wnd enjoy 😊

@Pitstop1986 @ElleJones1 @Moriquendi thank you so much 😊 I'm not getting excited yet as it's such early days and I really do think I've probably seriously harmed my chances of this being a sticky one 😩 if I have another cp I'm just going to think it's because of the alcohol... Because it absolutely can't have done any good! :(

@Pitstop1986 have you tested today?x

Honestly, please don't do this to yourself!! It won't have done anything at this stage, please believe that! With my son, I had no idea, got really drunk over Christmas a week before BFP and he was absolutely fine!xx

Morning girls, hope everyone's doing well!

Thank you so much for all of the love and support yesterday, but unfortunately my biggest fear has happened... My test this morning is lighter than yesterday's... I knew I'd messed things up. So annoyed and disappointed in myself. Second chemical in a row now... :( That'll teach me for drinking before knowing for absolute sure... x
