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 ✨❤️

Still waiting for the tests to arrive but I did take another cheapy and it's still faint but more noticeable.

@Chaz693 oh can definitely see it more there! Eek! How many dpo are you?

Is it definitely AF? If it stops tomorrow then I'd test :)

@SummerSun24 I'm 10dpo today! So it's still really early. Hoping by Friday it will be much more obvious and my partner won't believe it till it's a lot darker lol! 😂 xx

@Dogscanlookup Thank You for accepting me into the crazy! 🤪

@Chaz693 so exciting hoping that line gets darker and darker for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

My cycles are actually really pretty on the button 29 days, so I'll be due AF on Saturday 10th. I ovulated approx the 23rd of Feb (my LH peak was on the 22nd evening so likely the 23rd for OV).

Normally around now in the 4-5 days leading up to AF im doubled over with the dreaded endo cramps and I'm usually really struggling with them but they are soooo mild this month it's just making me think hmmmm? I also dont have the usual (sorry tmi) shooting pains in La vag that normally fire up everytime i go to pee.
Didn't know if any other gals on here had experienced this with endo and had happy positives.

@RW269 re the increase in HR, my friend has had an increase in rhr in all 3 of her pregnancies from really early on!

Mines has also been raised this week but I was putting it down to just being anxious about this weeks symptoms lol 🙈

We’re all around the same time in our cycles!!
I’m 11 dpo and af is due Saturday. I have a clearblue rapid coming tomorrow but I’ll try to wait until Friday at least.
I have some unusual symptoms that I also had with my pregnancy so we’ll see soon what the outcome will be.

@emmatcc1 all In sync!

What symptoms have you been experiencing this time round?

Spreading baby dust to all ✨✨✨✨

@MinaHarker1 This week I have been nauseous every morning, having vivid dreams and waking up covered in sweat. I had some pains last weekend and a bit of yellow discharge which is back to white now. I’ve also been pretty tired past two days. Also my skin has suddenly broken out. But my bbt has dropped a bit today so if it doesn’t go back up I won’t test. This is my first cycle after mc so that may be why I’m getting all the symptoms.

Does anyone know if the easy at home cheapo preg tests would pick up a super early pregnancy or will they only detect after missed period?

Hey I’m TTC right now, I’m currently 2 days late haven’t taken any tests yet as I had surgery on 30th January for my left tube to be removed because of an infection. To then now find out today that I had a non dissolvable stitch put in my abdomen without telling me. I was told they were dissolvable and didn’t need them removed. So trying to chase that up now 😰.

i don’t want my hopes up so giving a few more days incase it’s late due to the surgery.

I’ve got mega sore boobs though.

good luck everyone 🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️

Hi Everyone, hope you don't mind me commenting on.
My cycle this month has been a weird one, currently day28 and no sign of ovulation yet 🙈 was using clear blue digital ovulation tests which showed flashing smiley for about a week then I swapped over to the cheapies, haven't really used them before so looking a bit of a steer if anyone can help? I'm looking for line progression aren't I? Photo attached for ref 😊 thanks in advance and wishing u all lots of baby dust 🌟

@Chaz693 so exciting!! Hope the tests arrive soon and have a nice and clear positive for you!

@LK2610 I've seen plenty of people online get early positives (i.e. 9-13dpo) from easy at home tests. Their claimed sensitivity (10miu) is the same as Clearblue's Ultra Early test.

@Needydoubleline I'm down a tube due to infection too, though haven't had it taken out yet. I hope they sort the stitches for you soon and that late AF is down to happier reasons - good luck!

Hey @Anon224

I haven't used that brand before but I use the premom easy @ home LH ones, and yes your looking for the test line to progress as dark as or darker than the control line. When it begins to lighten again the last darkest line was your peak LH. That's the basis of the ones I use, it may be different for those. I find the premom ones easy to use as you just snap a pic of the test and upload it to the app and it does all the working out of how dark/light for you.

@emmatcc1 I'm so sorry to hear of your MC 😢 but all the symptoms sound positive, hoping you bbt comes back up for you 🤞🏼

@Needydoubleline Ooft that's crazy that they left that in and didn't tell you 🤦🏽‍♀️
Hopefully this isn't a fluke and your BFP is coming soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@MinaHarker1 welcome to the sisterhood!

@LK2610 I think they are 10MUI so pretty sensitive as opposed to the standard 25Mui

@holdmydrinks thanks for the positivity 💕 but I think it's game over for this round as it's pretty fresh and have had my usual acute depression for the past two days which always subsides when af arrives. I'm actually feeling a lot better now. It's just nice to know where we stand isn't it

@emmatcc1 you have restraint! But it’s better if you can wait!

@MinaHarker1 why did La Vag make me laugh like a schoolgirl! But that’s just it, sometimes it’s the difference to usual cycles that get us properly symptom spotting! I still have spotted and the last time that happened was with my DD so now I’m convinced which is risky!

@Anon224 are you testing more than once a day?

Thank youuu @pleurotus !

Are you still bleeding tonight? Are you gona test again tomorrow or you pretty convinced it's AF?

Xx

@Dogscanlookup 😂 thought La Vag was a classier way of saying fanny 😂😂😂
Totally! It's the little differences that send our minds into absolute chaos as if they weren't bad enough 🤪

There's a fair few of us here that will be POS this weekend for affirmative results...if we could only stop testing early 😂 which I just don't seem to be able to doooo!

I've told myself I am not testing tomorrow...will try again Friday as DH is heading away for work and would like to do it together. Still a day before AF due then, so if she doesn't show by Sunday will do another one, just gotta reign it in 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi all,

Just posted this in the Feb chat and then realised that we are indeed in March!!

Guys, I think I am going mad.
Today is the day of my missed period. All the mommed style tests have been negative.
Today I got this on a CB. 20 min after testing. Could it be? Or is this an evap? There was something about 5 min after testing but too faint to be sure. The pic is 20-30 min after (I was doing the breakfast dishes lol and glances down before going to toss it away). There is a SLIGHT tinge of blue to the line also

It’s so exciting starting to see some posts re positives possibly etc!

@DaringlyDizzy ooooo that is a noticeable line but I see what you mean about the 20 mins. Do you have any more tests? Try doing one first thing in the morning maybe!? Then update us all! Got my fingers crossed !!

@MinaHarker1 That's very helpful, thank you 😊 I might try those for the next cycle they sound good!

@pleurotus I've only been testing once a day first thing in the morning as I was testing with the digital clear blue and the tests for them are pricey ! 🤑

@MinaHarker1 I am 😞 I will see what tomorrow brings

@DaringlyDizzy definitely see a line there! Hopefully you can confirm with another test. I have heard that this particular clearblue test is notorious for evaps. Hope that isn't the case dor you.

I am binge listening to the fertility.co podcast on Spotify. It's great and so insightful! One thing I do enjoy about TTC is learning how amazing the female body is 💕

Thank you! Ahhhh I will test in the morning but I am SO excited and have convinced myself its a positive. Arghhhh why do I do this to myself??

Will test in the morning!

@pleurotus I will have to check out that podcast

This may be a silly question but I've been taking the try to conceive vitamins from seven seas do I just continue them till I run out and then swoop to a pregnancy one or do I change now?

I've stopped taking the CoQ10 as Google said to stop taking them as soon as you test positive. X

Fingers & Toes Crossed for you @DaringlyDizzy 🤞🏼

@pleurotus hopeful for you, maybe you'll just dry up through the night 🤞🏼

Hopefully a weekend to come of some positive news for all of you/us gals trying to make it through till then 😘✨
