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 ✨❤️

The logistics of this cycle are just not logisticking...

I was expecting to ovulate CD13 (today), so DTD CD8, CD10. DH has been away and was due back late on CD12, however he was super delayed and not back until after I went to bed. However, I have not had a positive OPK yet, so ovulation is not today, nor tomorrow I guess? We can't DTD today or tomorrow, so actually CD15 wouldn't be too bad. But anything later then I am away... 😅

It's funny because last month I was tracking for first time and had such a textbook cycle. I wonder if it's because I have been exercising (up from basically nothing at all). TBH if that is the reason, I wouldn't be heartbroken. Quite keen to get my fitness up before (hopefully) getting pregnant.

Sorry for the dump of thoughts, was explaining the moving timetable to my husband who was like "maybe you are pregnant already" and I was like... "oh you have no idea what is happening!"

And yes I am also a crazy lady who works out due dates, if I got pregnant this cycle it would be 26th November and next month would basically be a Christmas baby. We're all in good company @emmatcc1 @Dogscanlookup @Daniki

@Dogscanlookup I have used the NHS due day calculator far too many time 😂 it's exciting though to think of what the special dates could be!

Feels like this weekend is going to be a big one for us all! Fingers crossed for some positives in here soon

Yes, I am always calculating predicated due dates in hope 😂
hows everyone getting on today? One day closer to hopefully some bfp for us all!
also coq10 chewables are a life saver yay for no more giant tablets

I use the flo app aswell mainly because it tells you on it what your due date will be if your get pregnant that cycle 😂 I also started NMN powder, I was recommended it on another thread. It has had good effects on fertility in studies, it’s an anti ageing supplement basically but it found in studies in mice to reverse the decline in egg quality etc! Might be worthwhile looking into it if anyone, like me, is on the older side and struggling!

@Daniki oooo I’ve not heard about this nmn stuff, is this the first month you’ve used it?
I’ve just turned 31 so trying everything to encourage things 😂

Yep iv been taking it a week now, would have been sooner but the shipping took nearly two weeks for me! I’m in Ireland tho, but to get shipped from England it took so long 😂 it’s a powder you put under your tongue and it dissolves but you can get capsules too. On the thread there was a young woman with POI who basically was going into menopause and nearly nonexistent AMH and she started it and is now pregnant. There’s a few threads on Reddit about it and I was listening to a few podcasts! Sounds promising so I can only hope it will work! Upside being also in the studies the effects were seen in the mice within 4 weeks! 🙌

@Daniki ooo I’ll have to have a little look into that !! ☺️

Evening everyone, still no BFP (tested again 🙈) and just 3 days until AF is due which is usually bang on time and I'm feeling crampy.
Quite emotional and sensitive at the moment but I think that's just the whole process getting to me already.
I think you definitely become hyper aware of your body during the TWW.

@holdmydrinks Awwh it is such an emotional process, it’s such a whirlwind of over thinking and processing hope and emotions! Only a couple of days and you could still get that bfp 🤞

Feels like I’m getting PMT symptoms so don’t think it’s going to be my month unfortunately ☹️

@YaWeeFurryBastard Awwh :( when are you due AF? Keep the hope! There’s a lot of cross symptoms between AF and pregnancy I’ve read

Somewhere between Thursday and Saturday as I usually have pretty short cycles. I think I’m going to end up testing tomorrow at 8dpo 😬😂 fully expecting a negative but I can’t help it! I feel like a negative test is less disappointing than my period just starting. How are you getting on?

@YaWeeFurryBastard oh you’re still so early on, we’re the same, I’ve been watching lots of videos today of peoples bfp line progressions and genuinely about 90% of what I’ve watched today they don’t show until 10/11 dpo ☺️🤞 still hope for us!!

@YaWeeFurryBastard keep busy as possible! So hard isn't it. I think I might just buy a pack of cheapies to satisfy my need to test, then I'm done rather than wishing the days away.

So lovely that some of you would like a Christmas baby! ❤️ (I always thought I'd try and avoid it but now I've got time against me I'll be happy with any month)

I think I’m out too, I’ve had cramps for 3 days which is typical AF symptoms for me. I caved and ordered some cheapo Amazon tests today, they’ll arrive tomorrow. I’m planning to use TTC as a reason to get healthy and drop some weight I’ve put on recently, get out walking more, reduce stress and caffeine (etc) so I’m finding it’s good to have that to focus on too, so even if conception doesn’t happen, hopefully you can still feel like you’ve made progress toward something each month x

@Jess1997 I tested from 3dpo 😂 my justification was I wasn’t 100% sure when I ovulated because of my mc but I’m just making excuses!

I’m cramping today like af, it was wishful thinking I think that I would conceive this cycle- especially as we barely even did it!

@Lemonyfire how many DPO are you now? I’m 7DPO and for the last few hours I’ve had the worst stabbing pain in the right side of my section scar 😩 I had an ectopic in that exact same place in October and this is my first month TTC since but the chances of that happening again is so slim

My god my boobs hurt… probably nothing to do with anything but they are huge, heavy and sore 😭

Thank you for listening to me moan 😂

@Jess1997 oh I’m sorry to hear that 😞 I think I’m 7dpo as well, this is based on a pos opk, apart from some mild cramping I’ve had no symptoms. I do get some cramping in my section scars from time to time though I think it’s as things stretch and just more around so hopefully it’s nothing related to an ectopic

@babycandy my boobs have ONLY hurt while pregnant….

I'm out AF showed yesterday back to CD 2 for me ☹️

Good luck everyone ✨

@RRAEE ah I’m sorry to hear!

I remember last post a few people thinking they were out with cramps etc and BFP’s did follow so no giving out hope yet!

also glad I’m not the only crazy one doing the NHS due date calculator 😂 I also really didn’t want a Christmas baby and last year we even skipped that month to avoid it! But now that ship has sailed…

8dpo tomorrow, starts to get hard to not test now

@Dogscanlookup hope you get your BFP.
Hopefully next month is my month. 🤞🏻 ✨

@Dogscanlookup one of my signs in previous pregnancy was cramping but this time I don’t have any so I’m not really hopeful.

Sending everyone a whole load of positivity to you all ! Such a stressful time, I’m with yous with the symptom spotting again today 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@RRAEE sorry to hear that :( March could still technically be your month if you’re a 28 day cycle or less so we’re all here to cheer you through it regardless! Sending love!
