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.

Im cycle day 25 myself, you can have implantation from 6 to 12 dpo so for me not had spotting but cramps started 6 dpo cycle day 19, have also read some people can have heavy implantation I would say if don't get like AF give it a few days and test Cycle day 20 I was negative same for cycle day 23 didn't get a hint of a maybe positive till cycle day 22 (still not trusting till AF is late)

my sister had implantation spotting one week after the last day DTD lasted 2 days for her so DTD 3rd Jan, Bleeding 10th/ 11th Jan BFP 18th Jan this was 2023 she had her little boy 1st Oct 2023

@Adamsapple89 Oh no sending virtual hugs and Hopefully better month next month if you TTC in April

Update to you all seems the amazon reviews on these tests are dodgy maybe try as tested again on a 3 hour hold and no drinking and have to squint to see a line now super faint this is now 48 hours from my first hint of a positive so really I would have thought line maybe darker unless start of a chemical I'm not to sure.

Going to wait now as feel like crying if these tests have all been false positives will next test when and if AF is late

Hubby did warn me not to get hopes up and I was trying but after 2 negatives before the faint positive and even testing 1 in water then to have 6 faint positives over 3 days to now 3rd day afternoon nothing when last 2 afternoons there was something really strange

Just enjoying life this weekend, moving towards my fertile window next week. Booked a holiday and enjoying the sunshine today as well as doing a few jobs around the house :)

Well I've just taken a cheap poundland one and a boots one and both negative :( I'm about 2 days late so no idea what my body is playing at. I really thought I might be this time :( want AF to just come now

@UnicornPrincessSarah I'm sorry to hear about yours too. It's really horrible this TTC isn't it

@Grace185 Has AF been late for you before? one time I was 2 weeks late for no reason the bitch I wasn't even TTC then, do you track ovulation to?

Hopefully just a late BFP showing for you

and thank you should have just bin them when I read the bad reviews I always new it maybe 50% they are ok or faulty I wasn't even going to test before AF was late and didn't test at all last month just something felt/ feels different this month so we will see but going to wait now till Wed/ Thur and see if she shows.

@UnicornPrincessSarah thank you, yes trying again next month 🤞🏻

Stay positive, it may be even though you are holiday it’s not technically FMU and they do all look positive still xx

@Emilyx00 im heading into the next cycle with you! You’re not alone x

@Grace185 sorry you’re in limbo. There’s nothing worse 😩 I hope you get a BFP or AF arrives soon, at least then you’ll know what’s going on. Keep us posted x

@UnicornPrincessSarah try not to look into it too much. Wait and see if AF arrives but I think it’s pretty much impossible to get a false positive?

@Adamsapple89 @mamataylor Trying to stay hopeful and will see what the week brings

First 2 tests I did from pack were negative tue and Thursday, first faint positive Friday 3pm on no hold and not sure how much I drank
Sat morning 6.45am fmu last time I had been was 12am hadn't drink either, tested again 2.50pm on a 3 hour hold was darker then 6.45am, then tested again 11.15pm last night on 2 hour hold the darkets faint positive to date.
This morning FMU since 12am so 8 hour hold no drink 7.20am was very faint positive, another 3 hour hold 10.18am tested again bit darker then 7.20am, 3.30pm tested again 5 hour hold and only sips of water almost negative have to sort of squint to see the line

This review posted on the Amazon product page 15th march
Four days of testing and all the tests I have done from this brand has given clear pink faint lines but I am definitely not pregnant and concluded this from a blood test however test is still positive.
25th Feb - Please don't buy these. Every single one gave a clear yet false positive. As someone who has been trying for a while these destroyed my soul when I realised it was false
27th Feb - Would not recommend buying at all!!! all tests in the box give me clear false positive and when tested with a shop bought test it was “negative”. Don’t waste your money!
20th Jan - I have had these before no problems, but recently had 3 positive test then followed by negative. It was heart breaking especially after a miscarriage.

they should really be taken of the market if this is the case

Hi Ladies quick evening update dont know how long or if I did hold wee its still the same brand until tomorrow when I get to shops, but just taken this 8.56pm

Hopefully the 3pm test was dodgy and these test not dodgy like reviews suggest

Sorry for all of you who are out, I'm joining you for next month as well: started spotting this morning at CD27, I know AF will be here this afternoon. A little sad, but it's ok. At least AF came 2 days early, which means that my apps predict next months ovulation a few days earlier. Works out good, because I'm supposed to travel to see my family on my original ovulation date, so chances for next month increased.

@UnicornPrincessSarah Will you keep us updated? Last test looks promising!!

Morning ladies @ALB1266 @ASwimADay @Adamsapple89 @Choc29 @Custardcreammachine @Ella31 @Emilyx00 @Flowerpot9 @Ginny2018 @Grace185 @Herewegoagain0 @Kitty337 @MelonSmoothie @Montelukast @Rosyposy26 @Shortcake06 @Simbabell88 @Squirreljr28 @YorkshirePeridot @icallshade @mamataylor @jellyfish2

Hope we all ok, sending hugs to everyone who got AF and a big congrats to those who got BFP's we will need to start a DEC 2024 baby's thread lol

13 DPO today and did 2 test this morning on smu

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah amazing!

@Custardcreammachine Thank you will do digital at end of the week

@UnicornPrincessSarah congratulations still waiting for AF still in limbo no BFP.

@Rosyposy26 Thank you, oh no when are you due?

Hey @UnicornPrincessSarah that's so exciting! Such a clear line.
Not feeling that confident this cycle - clear blue digital didn't pick up so much as a flashing smiley so thinking I didn't ovulate. If by some miracle I did I'll be about 6DPO today (if I use the Flo prediction). AF due in 9 days so will try and hold off testing til then as sick of weeing on sticks and being disappointed this month 😂

I thought was due about 22nd but nothing no symptoms or anything. I had a weird month last period very very light and didn’t get major peak in ovulation on the 7/3. According to apps AF due any day but on CD24 now maybe going back to 26/28 day cycle. Hopefully next month

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah that's fantastic news!
Im now 9dpo. Feeling fine. Boobs have become sore in the last 24 hours. Just waiting for my period now I think!

Hi oh no so sorry to hear about the uncertain I don't track ovulation myself but for me I started cramping 6dpo but didn't get faint positive until Friday 10dpo 3pm

This is the first time I have ever tested early just felt different lol last month didn't test at all

Thank you oh no does that sort of line up with the pms timing for you?

Oh that is very strange but would be good if returning to a longer cycle?

Yeah will be which means AF would be due on 28/29. Hopefully and then can get back to normal after MC in Feb.

Oh maybe your body is still recovering at the MC and fingers crossed April is your month

Thank you. ☺️
