CD1 entering 3rd month TTC (next fertile window 8th - 17th march)

[UnicornPrincessSarah]

Would anyone like to join me on the TTC for March 2024

Going into my 3rd month TTC for my rainbow baby after a loss in 2007 at 7 weeks, I'm now 34 (35 in June) and TTC for our first baby with me and my DH

The last 2 cycles my body has played horrible tricks on me, so i have been keeping a log of my symptoms.

I'm not ready to do opks or bbt just yet trying to do natural and less stressful but did have 21 day bloods and day 3 bloods done and the results come back good, i do have PCO cysts in my ovaries and my DH has good sperm he had this tested last year.

Thank you trying not to get hopes up to much as amazon has mixed reviews so will test daily AF due 28th and don't really want to waste a more expensive test just yet, will deff keep you posted

Sorry to hear about bleeding could it be ovulation or implanting? if neither and keeps happening deff something you should get looked into

@Shortcake06 you’re not alone ♥️ sending lots of baby dust to you and hope you get your bfp soon. We’ll be entering our 5th month trying since MC if AF shows tomorrow.

@Emilyx00 thank you x

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’m doing ok than you! AF is due tomorrow, after a BFN at 12dpo I’m not holding out much hope but let’s see what tomorrow brings! X

@Shortcake06 so I’m CD22, I use OPK and ovulated CD14. Yesterday I had pink spotting and today tiny bit of red. Have you ovulated yet, what CD are you ?

Ah fingers crossed she no shows for you x

Todays test FMU 11 Dpo was taken 6.45am UK time after not drinking and last wee 12.30am UK time

Still have cramps and some left sided hip pain today

How are you today? got much planned for weekend? @ALB1266 @ASwimADay @Adamsapple89 @Choc29 @Custardcreammachine @Ella31 @Emilyx00 @Flowerpot9 @Ginny2018 @Grace185 @Herewegoagain0 @MelonSmoothie @Montelukast @Rosyposy26 @Shortcake06 @Simbabell88 @Squirreljr28 @YorkshirePeridot @icallshade @jellyfish2 @mamataylor

@UnicornPrincessSarah doing park run and just waiting CD22 14DPO and a BFN but no sign of of AF either.

how are you and is that a positive I spy?

@Rosyposy26 Ah sounds like a nice day but also maybe a tiring day is the sun out where you are? when is AF due for you again?

A very faint positive maybe yesterday 10dpo afternoon and this morning FUM 11 dpo

Im not to bad thank you, Just feel like I don't want to do to much though as have cramps and fatigue so going to maybe take it easy and listen to my body, but upset as my workouts I was doing are out the window now lol

@UnicornPrincessSarah I can see a line!!! Cd 23 for me. Really tired and felt so cold the past few days but think that's just due to lack of sleep! We managed to dtd every day from cd9 through to 18 but missed out cd16 & cd 17 which is when I think I should have ovulated so not holding out much hope. Also didn't have as much ewcm this month or my usual ovulation pains so no idea what's going on. I have been stressing a lot about my age so maybe that's a factor. Hoping to see more good news soon!

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’d say that’s defo a positive! It’s darker than yesterday. Take an early digital test! Congratulations x

and I haven’t got a clue what CD I’m on, but I’m still spotting. It’s so annoying. It’s only when I wipe and sometimes it’s there and sometimes it isn’t. I also have cramping, like a heavy feeling in my uterus. I can’t put it down to DTD as I’ve barely had sex and I don’t think I’m pregnant this month but it’s still frustrating that I’m spotting. I haven’t had this before so it’s really thrown me off, trying to stay off google. If it continues next week, I’ll book a GP appointment. Hoping my miscarriage and subsequent surgery has not impacted my fertility health. X

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah ! I’m either 9 or 10dpo today. BFN yesterday and have decided to just not test anymore and wait and see if AF comes as otherwise it gets so much in my head and it’s all I can think about! Love seeing positives on here though! Hopefully will be able to join you if AF doesn’t appear by Thursday! Xx

@Emilyx00 I'm not a doctor but had similar to you about a year ago-spotting daily on wiping, cramping. GP took it really seriously but in the end it was diagnosed as cervical erosion. Sounds scary but they explained that its common and can be due to hormonal changes especially during pregnancy/MC. Mine cleared up itself after about 6 months. Not a doctor but just a thought.

@Emilyx00 Thanks we going to hold off on the digital until AF is late as bit scary right now as still very early.

Oh no so sorry to hear that and deff needs to be looked into maybe endo?, I only DTD 4 times this month myself we were meant to do 8 times lol

@Herewegoagain0 Thank you, I did an early clue blue 11 dpo in Jan was negative, I was getting negatives on their tests 7 and 9 dpo didn't get maybe a positive till yesterday 10 dpo.

was the lack of sore boobs from 0 to 9dpo that made me test but omg are they sore now lol and going of my orange squash I have every day lol

Yes good idea to wait now and see my partner is a bit skeptical and says not to get my hopes up as we still very early I'm due Thursday myself

@Adamsapple89 im CD 24 and 7 DPO. So we are pretty much at the same stage!?
From what I’ve read spotting can be positive?
I’ve had no symptoms at all. I have a cold so that’s kind of taking over 😂
@UnicornPrincessSarah Your tests look super promising and I can definitely see progression. Take it easy and be kind to yourself, if your body needs rest that is ok! Congratulations xx

@Custardcreammachine thanks, I had one of these last year and they used something on it to take it away. Perhaps it could be that? Just makes me sad seeing it as this is how my MC started and it’s taking me back (although I’m not pregnant!) and I’m worried that the surgery I had has messed up my body.

@UnicornPrincessSarah I totally understand. I have everything crossed for you.. When are you due?

@Adamsapple89 are you still spotting today? How are you?

I took a test this morning, went a bit crazy squinting at it under different lights. Maybe there was something there, more likely it was an indent and a bfn. Trying not to count myself out just yet but I'm still gutted. 12dpo. Wishing everyone else testing this weekend better luck x

@Shortcake06 so frustrating isn’t it! I also had this spotting last month so assuming it’s just same thing. GP has taken bloods to check all okay including day 21 progesterone to check I’m ovulating so hopefully they’re all okay

@Emilyx00 not currently spotting no it’s intermittent but still crampy

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah ! Definitely darker :)

Thank you this past week all i have wanted to do is sleep lol, my poor workout has taken a hit, last weekend I rested as thought I had a cold coming as had a scratchy throat and just felt a bit off then from Monday was camping and just felt so exhausted, I don't want to sit around doing nothing though lol. hopefully ill find some energy to do a bit of housework as been neglecting that for a week aswell so bad, but I go out for a walk for fresh air then feel drained and I just want my bed or sit on the sofa.

will keep testing daily and keep you all updated

Hi @Emilyx00 So AF is due either Wednesday or Thursday as for due date if I am deff pregnant if we go off the last period 29th Feb would be 5th Dec if we of ovulation date is 17th Dec

we DTD this month cycle day 6, cycle day 9, cycle day 12, cycle 13, and cycle day 15 pre mom predicted ovulation this day to
12th March was the prediction of ovulation on flo app this is when I got ovulation pain starting but also 13th in the morning but gone by afternoon.

As I say what made me suspicious is going off my orange squash I have every day just tasted funny and was normal taste to hubby and also the lack of sore boobs from o as last 2 cyles had boob pain from o to AF and only yesterday did they start to be bit sore 10dpo

Thank you, will carry on testing and keeping you all updated

@mamataylor hows things? Hope AF didn't show!

Update again

So im either 9 Dpo or 11 dpo and done 3 tests for far with all faint possible positives and AF due wed or Thursday for me

This is now my 3rd test taken 2.45pm UK on 3 hour wee hold and just 1 drink line actually came up before 2 mins and this says to allow up to 5 mins

I'm gone from someone who didn't test last month at all to constantly testing @Ginny2018 have we swapped lol

@Grace185 no AF yet! I’ve had snotty discharge since about lunchtime today so I’m not sure what to think! Going to see if she arrives tomorrow. How are you? Hope you’re enjoying your weekend away x

@UnicornPrincessSarah can defo see a stronger line today 🥰 congratulations again!
AF hasn’t shown today yet. Going to see if she arrives tomorrow x
