TTC March 2024 ❤️✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in March 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Feb to March! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

Yes I hear you @YaWeeFurryBastard i feel like I can’t plan anything this year. Friends and family are asking about holidays and I just don’t know. I’m also stuck in a super stressful job but I don’t want to leave yet because they have amazing maternity benefits. Sorry you’re feeling it too x

@Dogscanlookup this is me exactly- I wanted to be more relaxed and wait until I would get a strong positive if I am, but feel like I can’t as by the time I would get it from the Dr it could cost me precious time!

@YaWeeFurryBastard I’m so sorry- I do understand the difficulty of trying to plan for the future but not knowing what that will hold

@YaWeeFurryBastard i was suffering so much in January with a feeling of hopelessness. I didn’t want to book anything and all my friends are currently either pregnant or have newborns so no escaping it. But now I’ve changed my outlook and I’m continuing life as normal - if I have to cancel a plan or change a booking it’ll be exciting and for good reason, and now I don’t feel as if life is on hold so much!

Days are going by so slowly 😫

Anyone had yellow cm around 6dpo? I googled it and it said it’s a sign of blood in the uterus so possible implantation but then I read posts on here saying it’s a sign your period is coming? But my period isn’t due for 8 days and it is NEVER early

@Jess1997 I had it today at 8dpo but literally just a patch of yellow on my underwear and then it went white again.

@Jess1997 I’ve had it be both to be honest- I’ve never found it to be a reliable indicator, hoping it means something for you x

Thanks for the support 💐. My period is due Saturday so at least I should know by then, I’m going to try and hold off testing until Thursday. Some of the links posted are helping as I’ve learnt the odds of getting a positive before 10dpo are pretty low even if you are pregnant.

One good thing is I had a strong positive pdg test this morning (have done the first of 4) so hopefully this means my progesterone levels are ok, will keep checking until Thursday.

I think if it doesn’t happen this month I’m going to try and relax about it a bit and carry on with life as normal. I’m going to get back into diet and exercise as I could do with losing at least two stone and I need to stop using ttc as an excuse! Also got a potentially boozy night out on Saturday which I’ll be able to make the most of if not pregnant. Might try and persuade DH to book a short notice city break in April as well.

@Jess1997 look at that link I posted yesterday. I was 6DPO and had creamy CM and it explains it all in there! It’s apparently your second estrogen surge. Only 0.5% of women implant on 6DPO so unlikely to be linked. Yellow / white is both normal for colours

@YaWeeFurryBastard I think it’s the best way what you’re doing! TTC is so consuming so booking stuff to look forward to is a must I think!

@YaWeeFurryBastard really good news you had a positive PDG too! I did mine this morning and same outcome. So at least we know things are working as they should 🤞🏻

Good luck to everyone testing this week hopefully we'll have lots of positives by the weekend.

9dpo for me today. Some mild cramping and what I can only describe as yellow, cloudy ewcm. Can't remember if I've had that before period in the past but it was definitely noticeable and got me in that crazed phsycotic must read every single thread on this mood

Hi, just a quick question for all those who have unfortunately experienced a MC/MMC, before mine, I used to get really sore tender boobs a week before AF, like clockwork each month. But now post MMC, I don't get this at all, it's just completely disappeared and I wasn't sure if it was linked? Has this happened to anyone else?

@Ren0991 I found after each of my miscarriages my cycles changed a bit. I either had new symptoms before AF started or was missing some of my normal signs. Caught me off guard a few times. X

@Chaz693 thank you for replying 😊. That makes me feel a lot better!
Though it's frustrating as it was one of main symptoms for AF and is also a reassuring one if you're pregnant too 😅

@Ren0991 I know. Everytime I get a random new symptom or I'm missing one of my usual ones it gives me hope that I'm pregnant. Then AF turns up! So frustrating x

What day is everyone testing?

Newbie question: how early is too early to test?

I’m doing mine on Saturday (10DPO) as I’m due to go out for drinks with my sister, either we’ll have a fun night or I’ll have some exciting early news for her. I really hope it’s the second. X

@LK2610 I'm trying to hold off till Friday as that's when my apps think I should come on. But I've always had a 26 day cycle which means I think I'll come on Wednesday. So I know if it doesn't appear then I'll test on Wednesday! I'll be 10 dpo. Which is when I got my faint positive on all my previous pregnancies x

Got my fingers crossed for you @Chaz693 🥰 not long to wait! X

@LK2610 I'm planning to test Sunday at 9dpo as that's the earliest I can justify it to myself. The odds of getting a positive test before then if I have conceived would be very low according to Countdown to Pregnancy stats. At 9dpo the odds are about 50/50 which is good enough for me but some might reasonably argue is probably still too early 🫣

Does anyone else work out their potential due date each month or am I just a psychopath 🥲

@Dogscanlookup I do that too. If I conceive this cycle my due date would be dec 1..

I'll be testing probably around the 14th as that'll be 10DPO? I know it sounds a little early but you see positive tests quite often with that - and then will just test for the next few days after that.

Also I don't know if anyone else gets this - but my cramps are SO bad this month, I don't know whether it's because I'm paying more attention to my body as we've only really just started trying properly - but today is my estimated ovulation day (my ovulation testing backs this up), we've been doing the baby dance the last few days as well, but I swear I've never felt cramping this strong unless AF has been around!

Hi ladies can I join? I used to be on a thread that's not active anymore and I really miss the daily chats on this long journey 🙈 I'm 7dpo so still technically in with a chance but I don't think so, had a few period type cramps today. I recognise some names here from previous threads, hello! 😂
@Dogscanlookup and yes I do that every month and it makes me really excited! I'm really hoping to be pregnant this cycle or next to have a Christmas baby 🙈😂

Am I the only crazy one who tests everyday from 6dpo? Lol 😂 I always tell myself I’m gonna hold off and then I can’t 😂😂 I’m 7DPO today.. my brain thinks there’s a super super faint line on my test but I’ve told myself if it’s not obvious it’s not there 😂
