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 ✨❤️

@YaWeeFurryBastard where do you get these test coz I also have a short luteal phase. Never heard of them. X

Hey everyone! I’m 1dpo today so the TWW has begun! However I still have a few cramps today so gonna DTD tonight aswell just incase! i have been TTC for 2 years now.. I’ve had a MMC 2 CPs and an ectopic on my section scar in October so this is my first month of TTC after I had methotrexate to treat that! Crossing everything I have that this is my month 🙃

Amazon, they’re called proov :)

@holdmydrinks welcome! Good luck for first month!
@Jess1997 I’m also 1dpo! I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such an awful journey so far… I really hope you get some good news this month! When will you be testing? I think I’ll be testing 7th March at 10dpo.
@YaWeeFurryBastard so i dont medically have a short luteal phase but i spot often from 8dpo… ive had scans and nothing abnormal, but i keep wondering if its low progesterone and if that caused my last CP? Might also try these!

Probably being really thick but what is 0pks?

As the calculator is so off, I wonder if I should but as it's so off will it be trickier to time when fo use them?

The one on here seemed more realistic, think it was around the 5th March

What’s everyone’s plans to keep busy the next two weeks? :)

@PlumpHobbit the ovulation sticks or clear blue ovulation testers. If you’re really unsure when it could land there’s nothing harming you doing it everyday from when your AF stops :)

to be honest, I’m jumping to the cheaper pink sticks next month if this isn’t my month. I’m too much of a wanting to rest all the time for peaks so be better to have more sticks :)

Has anyone used the clear blue ovulation stick thing which gives you two days smiley face?
my hand holder broke right on ovulation so I’ve just been going off the blue sticks but they got darker but never as clear as the test line, anyone used them and got a smiley face and able to see how dark the line went on the stick? :)

@Dogscanlookup i would love to say I’ll start waiting until 10DPO but honestly I’ll probably start testing around 7/8DPO because I’m an addict 😂

Could be worth a go as I believe you can get progesterone tablets if you have a deficiency which is what helps the fertilised egg stick.

I’m also 10dpo on 7th march and trying to hold off until then. Has anyone actually ever got a positive at 7/8 dpo?

Well I'm just starting my cycle, and annoyingly means I'm away right over ovulation for work 🙄 guess we'll just dtd the day before and the day I come back, no point even testing really! 😭 Feels like such a wasted month, I'm not getting any younger and I'm so fed up of TTC.

I turned 35 this year and I am not letting myself get too worried about my age. I think this is because I live in London and as housing is so expensive people tend to have their children a bit later. If you have a baby at 33 it's practically a teen pregnancy 😂

And also... it is what it is. Worrying isn't going to make me more fertile.

I'm 2 days off the pill, having finished my last major day of period Monday

Just gone to the loo and it's like I'm back having a period? I presume this is normal and it'll be all over the place for a bit as it's no longer regimented by the pill, which I've been on for years (I'm nearly 34)

@PlumpHobbit Yeah it might take a while for your cycle to stabilize.

@moosey89 it’s so annoying when you can’t DTD at the right time it feels like such a long wait until the next time. It could still be worth using OPks though as I find my O day moves almost every month as much as a week sometimes. You never know it might move to the perfect time for you!

@Overthinkeroverthirty yeah - I mean I'm away day 12-18 and my ovulation has only ever been 14-17 so if we do it the day either side then that is possibly our best bet. Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind a month off testing either. I'm so worn down by it all.

@moosey89 totally get it. It ends up all consuming otherwise. Fingers crossed for you 😊

Hope everyone’s keeping busy and keeping that overthinking at bay!
took myself for a little dog walk and a lemon muffin to get out the house and stop thinking today haha!

Does anyone else track ovulation with app and CM only? First time round I used to have noticeable amount of EWCM so knew when I was ovulating. I don't know if it's due to having had a baby (would be interested to hear if those TTC no 2 are the same) but although I still do get the EWCM it's not nearly as much as before? No idea what this might imply about fertility but definitely overthinking it 😩

Around 2dpo here according to app but not really confident it's correct! Good luck to everyone else in there TWW

Hi everyone!
I'm experiencing some potentially strange "symptoms" and im wondering if anyone else has/is also experiencing them and has led to their BFP?
So firstly I started having really strange and vivid dreams, then at 6DPO, I was sneezing and my nose was super runny and tickly and I've also been peeing so much since then! I'm now 9DPO and started to experience twinges in my ovary areas and slightly sore boobs. I've been soooo irritable and annoyed today too!
All BFN's so far (I know it's early enough).
Do you think there's still a chance that I could be pregnant?

@ChloeJLondon one of the reasons I knew I was pregnant last time was I had a terrible cold that I couldn't shake with a super snotty nose. My boobs went huge and sore as well! It's really hard isn't it because alot are similar to AF symptoms. Fingers crossed for you it's not though!

When are you going to test @RW269? I want to wait as long as possible but I’m due to go for cocktails on the 9th so it might have to be that day x

@LK2610 oh that’s a good idea doing it the 9th then you’ll know if you need to sneak a mocktail instead haha!
I’m thinking the same, I’m due AF 10th but part of me knows I’ll be inpatient and test day before hahaha!

Let’s try and hold off together haha @RW269

I may need to join the holding off till the 9th group lol! As I'm a known obsessive early tester. But really want to hold off as long as possible! X

Welcome aboard @Chaz693 🤣
