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 ✨❤️

Amazing news @RW269!!! Just catching up on all the posts. Big strength to everyone else who is waiting or starting again

Why are squinters always so much more visible in person 😂
not convinced it’s actually a faint line because the strip took what felt like longer for all the pink to go away! But this did come up after a couple of mins
i promise there is a line but you can barely see it in the pic 😂

@Jess1997 I think I can see the squinter, I am a pro at these at this stage 😂

@Daniki honestly I can barely see it in the pic but I can in person! I’ll know more in the morning I guess! Hate this waiting game

@Jess1997 this was me yesterday! Getting it to appear on camera was impossible! But it person I could see it felt like I was going mad! But I feel like I can see it! 🤞

Be a nice long sleep for ya waiting until morning to test again 😂 @Jess1997

Negative test this morning after yesterdays one showing :( don’t think that’s a good sign 😞

@RW269 try again in a few hours, sometimes smu works! With my chemical last year at 9dpo mg FMU was negative but then I tested again with smu and got a postive! Just tested myself there, BFN

@Daniki that’s good thinking, annoyingly I’ll be at work and I don’t trust myself to do one there and not get upset haha! Awwh no way sorry it’s negative again, still time! Got everything crossed for a bfp for you soon!!

@RW269 you're prob right, do one tonight and try it panic about it all day! I looked at your positive and Iv never seen a strong evap line like that before x

Hi all,

does anyone use the clear blue OPK’s? Has anyone ever had a flashing smiley but never a static one (peak). I’m CD16 and it’s on the third day of flashing…my cycles are between 28-31 days so seems a bit late! Next cycle I’ll start tracking temp I think. It’s all so confusing!

@RW269 that’s surprising as that looked like a clear positive to me! Keep going and keep us posted 🤞🏻

Slightly panicked myself!!
Did a final CB test today. Defo positive.
My first test was 13DPO, then 14DPO, today 15DPO

I was testing with cheapies since 8DPO.

Issue is I’m still getting NADA on the cheapies and my CB are not getting any darker.

i never even knew to worry about line progression my last pregnancy. But I read some threads on here and here we are. So stressed now.

I’ve got another faint line test this morning 🎉
will do another test tomorrow morning. Hopefully line will get stronger. Scared because I’m an old bird 🐦 so hopefully everything sticks x

@RW269 i have everything crossed you get another positive tonight 🤞🏼🤞🏼.

@babycandy congrats!

Another BFN for me at 11dpo and my period is due tomorrow so pretty sure I’m out. I’m going away for the weekend so just going to relax and have a few drinks, won’t be able to test anyway as I’m not lugging my pee cup with me 😂.

I might have not ovulated when I thought because my bbt is still high but af is supposed to be due tomorrow and my bbt always drops the day before.

@Dogscanlookup Could totally be a coincidence, hard to know for definite but it's certainly possible. My PdG yesterday and today both negative, on the app says levels are medium but not high enough to confirm ovulation. Trying not to stress too much, will see what next few days say and maybe I'll spring for a blood test next month to confirm whether I've got a progesterone issue. Did you do one today?

@RW269 hope you get a positive this evening 🙏🙏 maybe try a different brand in case you've got a funny batch

@babycandy congrats!! Wonderful news. Hope the tests progress nicely for you

@TTC1990 I use the clearblue OPKs! This cycle I had 5 days of flashing and then a static cycle on day 18. My cycles are usually 29-34 days. Keep testing and I'm sure you'll get a peak soon!

@Daisychain27 AF is due for me on 18 March so a little after you. How are you getting on this morning?

@babycandy congrats!!

Had a dream last night I did 3 tests and they were all positive and I was so happy then I woke up 😅

Managed not to cave on the testing this morning, holding out till Sunday. Although last night partner said they felt like this month wasn't the month 😕

Aw I’m so pleased to see everyone’s BFPs, for everyone testing neg don’t lose hope just yet!

@waltzingintomonday I feel like I’m symptom spotting like mad which never works well for me lol. I’ve started having mild cramps now on my right hand side and mild shooty type pains in my actual vagina (sorry I don’t know how else to describe it!), really gassy and absolutely exhausted for some reason. I’ve had all of this before though and had BFNs. How are you feeling? :)

I had this exact same dream last night!!!! 🫣

So buzzing to see all the bfp's coming through 🥳🎉

I tested again today 14dpo and negative on a CB early detection 😩

So looks like I'm out this month, AF due tomorrow still no major symptoms of her and I'm still feeling a bit iffy 🤔 but guessing I'm probably just zooming into stuff. She'll show her ugly head soon I assume.

Congrats all you lovely mamas to be 🤞🏼 for more line progression and sticky beans xxxx

Has anyone has indents with boots? With my naked eye there is a very visible pink line but when I put my torch on there’s a colourless line up the middle of the pink line? Also it’s way clearer in person than on camera

Big congratulations to all the positives!!

@CadoAvo @MinaHarker1 I had a positive test dream too!!!

For those with early negatives I'm holding out as last time I got negatives till 13dpo which was really disheartening at the time. And I mean also you in the face blanker than before I peed on it negative 😂 Then a good positive with evening urine out of no where on 13dpo!

@RW269 definitely test again!! False positives are less common than false negatives so 🤞

So happy to see all the BFP’s over the past couple of days! Congrats to you all and best of luck for line progression, remember that HCG doubles every 48 hours so don’t get too discouraged if the next day isn’t any darker.

And for those still waiting, I’m so sorry the TWW is such a cruel mistress. I wish you all the best, even if that is just AF arriving on time so you can plan for the next cycle 😊

My last cycle - the first one tracking - was absolutely text book. 27 days with ovulation on CD13.

This cycle not so much, temperatures all over the shop and ovulation on CD16 (tbc). Due to other commitments meant we only DTD one day in fertile window. However it is what it is and it’s better than nothing, so not letting it get us down. Maybe the universe really wants us to have a Christmas baby next month 🎁

As always so grateful to have people in the same boat who understand and over the moon to see so many successes!

Hi everyone,

I've literally just joined mumsnet to hop onto this conversation. It's my first month of trying, I'm 8dpo. Annoyingly I went to stay at my dad's house right over my fertile window so didn't have a huge opportunity to try this month😂but hey, only takes the one! Good luck all!
