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 ✨❤️

@Okeydokedeva thank you!!! Fingers crossed for you guys!!!

Oh I'm sorry @CoolSummer89, definitely onwards and upwards and really hope April is the month for you.

I am also out, negative at 14DPO and the start of AF coming through now. Why is nature so cruel that you find out you're not pregnant when you're at your most emotional because of AF arriving.

I will be giving TTC a break in April too as DH isn't keen on a Christmas baby. So hopefully May is the month, feels like a long way away right now.

Really hope you get a BFP @Okeydokedeva and everyone else too!

Thanks @PuddleJump enjoy your break. AF has arrived this morning and DH is away so taking it easy with bedtime cuddles with the cat.

Fertility Friend says that a baby this month would have a due date of 27th December! Not ideal but hopefully means a more relaxed TTC and TWW this time. Best of luck for May.

Hi All!

First time TTC, third cycle, got our hopes up last month cause AF was a week late!

13 DPO - just got this result - I may have flooded the test, could that give this weird thin line?

Hey gang - think I'm out this month. Took a test this morning at 12DPO and BFN! Was feeling hopeful as BBT is still high and I usually see a drop by now ahead of AF. On to the next cycle and hopefully a Christmas baby! X

@MaybeWeShouldGoToEastbourne i think you need to go to eastbourne to celebrate your bfp!!! Xxxxxx

Thank you I can’t sleep thinking about the possibility! Going to do a digital first thing

Does FMU still count if you haven’t been to sleep? 😁

BFP😁

I've had BFP on easy at home for the past 2 days (taken like 6 tests) did a super drug early detect and again very faint but there positive. This morning did a clear blue early deact and I think I can see a like but not sure, thoughts?

Surely 6 easy at home and a superdrug can't be wrong?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

@home

@ChristinaB1203 I can see a line there, didn't even have to zoom in!

Well I was right not to get my hopes up - woke up to absolutely raging cramps, pop to the loo and yep period has arrived in full force, a day late

Didn't realise how disappointed I'd be - probably too optimistic it could be first time after years on the pill

Think the horrendous cramps are making it worse, was going to do a bit of cleaning but think I'll just lay with my hot water bottle. The main reason I went on the pill originally was because they are so debilitating, only fortunate thing is I don't work weekends, not sure what I'd do if i had work as I'm in an office

Hold your candles for me- testing tomorrow. Many congrats on the new bfp’s :) xx

had a lovely cuddle with my son this morning, feel so incredibly lucky to have him. Hopefully a second will add to the love. I do worry sometimes about being overwhelmed by a second just at the point that ds is going to school.

Aw so happy for you congratulations! 😊

AF arrived for me Friday too (day early) Trying not to be disheartened as it was our first real try dtd when ovulating etc so we move on. Really encouraging to see @MaybeWeShouldGoToEastbourne bfp on 3rd try 😊
see you on the April thread !

I Know that feeling @catmumma84 ! I was a week late last month and then so disheartened - but next month isn’t that far away ❤️ see you on the other thread

@Okeydokedeva I think we're at the same point, DS just turned 4 about to start school and if love to get pregnant now.

All the snuggles are massively helping, and yes feel so grateful to have him 🙏🏾

Hi all, ttc cycle #3 1st baby currently on day1, so a bit down as really thought this was my cycle. I've been using natural cycles since Sept 2023 to get used to tracking etc. Started actively ttc in January using OTKs and BBT. Seem like I'm doing everything right but still no luck. Any advice to help this cycle please.

Hi again everyone!

After still spotting for nearly a week now I’ve had the below on an easy @ home test this evening (probably 9 /10ish days DPO?).

Can you get evap lines on them? I don’t know how reliable they are…

I’m probably not the best person to advise as I’ve only had MCs and no successful pregnancies but have you tried taking the preconception vitamins like Pregnacare?

Lots of people also recommend lubes that are specifically for us when you’re conceiving like Pre-seed?

I would also carry on dtd a few days after you’ve had a positive LH test. It can take a few days to actually ovulate after that for some women.

its a difficult journey but this community is so supportive. Wishing you tons of baby dust 💖

There's colour in the line so I wouldn't say that's an evap!

Thanks so much for getting back to me! I've just been so unsure because I've been spotting quite a lot for so long now - let's hope it's not another ectopic (could do without that haha)

I did another test this am with a similar result and a Clear Blue where you could barely see a thing so I'm going to keep testing and see what happens.

I know that people recommend FRER but I can't find them ANYWHERE! Do people have experience with the Clear Blue early results digital tests?

@Confusedandtired90 just wanted to hop on and say yes, I got a "pregnant" result on the clear blue early digital at 9DPO. So I'd deffo recommend if you're getting faint lines.

I'm now 6 weeks and tests are very dark now.

Thanks so much for your reply. Sorry to hear about your MCs. Fingers (& toes) crossed for you for a successful pregnancy. How many months are you now ttc? Great advice I'm going to buy pregnacare vitamins and conception+ lube. We don't use lube normally so it's something different to try this cycle. Best of luck to you. X

@Confusedandtired90 that looks positive to me, congrats! I've bought frer on amazon if you're able to?

I don't know what to think. I'm 16dpo and on CD32. Last month I only had a 26 day cycle and AF arrived at 10dpo. I've had brown spotting for the last three days and what felt like horrendous period cramps on Sunday evening but my period just doesn't seem to want to get started. BFNs today and on Saturday. I hate not knowing what's going on with my body as there's nothing that's changed which could have delayed my period 😞
