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 ✨❤️

@cado thank you! I’ve just done another premom test (it’s still all I have) and it’s negative??! 😭😭 I’m hoping it’s because this morning I had FMU so it picked up the hormone stronger but I’m not feeling so positive now :(

@waltzingintomonday ha ha that made me laugh! Why are they like this!?

I'm also 8dpo @RTVDM and got a BFN today which isn't surprising but still gutting! AF not due until 17th for me so abit of a longer wait 😩

Thanks for everyone’s help making me feel better about going out drinking last night! 2-3dpo and my boobs are quite tender ! I never notice this usually each month. Am I being crazy or could this be a sign something positive is happening? I know it’s so early 😹just so hopeful lol

Hi everyone please can I join?

Positive ovulation test Monday so think I'm 5dpo :)

So I got my faint positives today but I’ve just had a little bit of red blood in my cm when I wiped, none on my pants or anything, I’ve had MMC a couple CPs and an ectopic so now I’m panicking 🙃

BFN for me this morning. It's still early days for me at 10dpo so I'm not declaring defeat just yet but just have a feeling it won't be this month.

Bit of an extra sting considering it's Mother's Day and I don't have a mum to celebrate with either but, trying to not let it get to me, I have 1 more test to try in a day or so...

Sending lots of love, a big squeeze, and some baby dust 🥰

I've just found out I'm pregnant, baby number 3 (eek!) 15dpo and been getting positives since 12dpo getting stronger every day!

Wondering if anyone is starting a Facebook group for October/November babies?

There's one in the November Mumsnet thread.

Well I've officially entered the "POAS and squint at it upside down with the torch shining on it" stage 🙃. I'm fairly sure I can see something where a second line should form, kind of like a shadow but realistically it's an evening urine at 8dpo so I don't know who I'm kidding. How does everyone else resist the urge to test? I'm fine until around now and then doing about 3 ic's a day until AF arrives!

Congratulations!!!

Hello could I join please? This is cycle 3 of trying for DC2. (DC1 will be 2 in November) I think i'm 1 DPO as of today!

Hoping to hold off from testing until around 12DPO but we'll see how I go... I think I got my hopes up a bit too much the past 2 cycles and was testing from about 8DPO and obviously got BFNs. I got pregnant pretty much straight away the first time round so was hoping for similar this time.

9/10 DPO and had a BFN this morning so my test yesterday must have been a false positive, gutted!

Hi everyone, can I join? Currently 9/10dpo and just tested and got a BFN! First cycle of trying and honestly this 2WW is horrendous! How do people hold out from testing?! This shows me just how impatient a person I am haha :)

I tested this morning at 9dpo, and it was a BFN. Kind of thought it would be as AF isn't due for another week. I still feel crampy and have super sore boobs so going to try and hold off testing again until Thursday or Friday.

@misspeach07 sounds like our cycles are pretty similar and I'm also in our first cycle of trying. I've been trying to keep busy to keep my mind off it, but then Saturday night started getting symptoms and now I'm obsessing 🙃 no idea how people do it.

@waltzingintomonday Aww yes, my AF isn't due until Saturday, so this wait is awful isn't it? Our cycles do sound similar - the main symptoms I've noticed this past week are tiredness (more than usual) and cramping/bloating! But that could just be a sign AF is coming. It's torture, but I think we probably don't help ourselves either :) fingers crossed it works out for us though!

How are you feeling today??

Congratulations :)

I always test super early with cheap tests so no advice on holding out just that you're not alone :)

@mumofone1111 my tests are alot darker and I got a positive digital but I am bleeding a lot 🙃🙃🙃 just another chemical to add to the list!☹️

Sending lots of love! I've had lots of them so totally understand the feeling 😢
If getting darker could you contact your EPU as they might scan you? There could be a bleed I've forgotten the name not a early loss of the lines are still getting stronger
Sending lots of love ❤️

@mumofone1111 unfortunately there’s clots in my blood 😭 last time I thought I was having a chemical and my lines got stronger it was actually ectopic! I want to call mt EPU but I wont be able to go because my parents are on holiday and my partner works full time and kids aren’t allowed in the EPU and i don’t trust anyone with my little girl 😭

If you're concerned I would still call them for advice especially with your history and explain the childcare they might be able to sort something still x

Congratulations to the BFP's out there, how exciting!!!

And hang on in there everyone else!!

I'm going to try and not test for a few days when AF is due. I don't know if I'm having symptoms or if it's all in my head. Last night I felt a bit sick. I'm trying for DC3 so I remember what early pregnancy feels like, and it felt familiar, tired, fuzzy head, slightly sick. I'm also aware it could be hormones playing tricks on me. I keep telling myself not to carried away, relax and accept that what will be will be.

But it's soooooo hard!!! 😬

Another BFN for me at 10dpo. Lowest progesterone test of this cycle and no notable symptoms. Making peace with this probably not being the cycle though not counting myself out completely till AF.

I've actually found early testing less stressful than waiting. All I could think about last cycle when I waited was potentially being pregnant. I nonstop symptom spotted, frantically googling every little thing. Whereas after each test yesterday and today, been much easier to tell myself: well you're definitely not pregnant today so best to focus on other things!
