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.

@Rosyposy26 were in limbo together! It's annoying isn't it?! I was really ill and on antibiotics a week after the app predicted ovulation so I didn't think it would effect anything but maybe it did :( we didn't DTD during or after as I was so ill so I'm not hopeful. I just want AF to arrive now!

Congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah waiting for ovulation and starting accupuncture today.

@Ella31 oh nice i hear about people trying that to help TTC wishing you luck and sending baby dust your way

@Grace185 I'm sure I took antibiotics one and it messed with my cycle and I was late so maybe it can delay ovulation

We are. I’ve done so many tests and all BFN. We dtd loads but pretty sure hasn’t worked this month. Now have a headache which indicates AF in way but then I had a headache when I fell December last year.

Shortcake06 · 25/03/2024 11:01

@UnicornPrincessSarah honestly no idea. The last two months I have had no boob pain at all, and the months before that I’d get pain the entire luteal phase 😵‍💫 we had sex at the right time I think but I just feel it’s never going to happen for us 😔

Did you do anything different @UnicornPrincessSarah this cycle

Hi sure

Today I'm feeling a little on the clouds lol and like I can't remember what I was doing so I will try to remember everything lol

What i did this month TTC

Stopped all supplements wanted to give my body a break to see if these were causing any issues I was taking selenium, folic acid, omega 3 and vitamin D3 with k2 and vitamin C for a good 5 months before TTC ( folic acid for 1 year before ttc)

Ate fruit every day strawberries, oranges, blueberries, pineapple, and pomegranate seeds throughout the whole month

I wore socks on my feet more during the and for bed from the end of my period and still doing it as heard cold feet can affect the womb

Had 2 cups of raspberry leaf tea a day starting from 4th March until 11th March

Did barre workout DVD from 5th - 15th March

DTD every 3 days from the period ended so 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, I don't track ovulation with OPK or BTT but do get pains

Used pre-seed lube

Legs up in the air for 10- 20 mins after DTD

The difference this month compared to the last 2 months TTC

No painful boobs after ovulation - normally they sore from ovulation until AF

No cramping after ovulation - normally have cramps after but didn't get anything till 6 DPO then since then had cramps on and off

No constant wee this always seems to happen to me before AF comes

My face broke out with acne really bad normally get a few spots around ovulation and period but these are like pimples under the skin and cystic

Sore throat for 2 days 4/5dpo thought a cold was going to come for sure never did

And extreme fatigue from 6dpo and still here now 13dpo

icallshade · 25/03/2024 13:46

Just a quick update, I'm 11dpo today, I got a positive digital yesterday.
Lines are 8, 9, 10 and 11dpo.
I've read through every single message on this thread and am wishing everyone so much luck, and I'm so sorry to anyone who's out this month, I've got my fingers crossed 🤞🤞💐

Will join the pregnancy group now 😊
I think it does depend on the tests you use/how much you drink and the hormone level so I honestly wouldn't panic!
Have you braved a digital yet?

YorkshirePeridot · 25/03/2024 16:11

Congrats @UnicornPrincessSarah and @icallshade, those are some great looking lines!

I'm convinced that I've had a chemical this month. It explains why I had symptoms very consistent with implantation around 7/8dpo but then no symptoms from about 10dpo onwards. My period is late and while normally I go straight into red flow, this time I'm getting brown clots and really intense cramping. If it is a chemical then I'm glad that I never got a positive test.

Baby dust to everyone who is moving onto next month with me, are we starting a new thread?

mamataylor · 25/03/2024 16:21

@icallshade congratulations 🥰

@UnicornPrincessSarah so glad you had confirmation from another brand test! You can relax now. Congratulations again ♥️

@YorkshirePeridot I’m moving into next month with you! If you start a new thread please tag me as would love to stick around for company! X

Loving the positives @icallshade and @UnicornPrincessSarah good luck ladies!!
Thinking I'm definitely out this month, no symptoms either way but we missed dtd two days over ovulation and with one tube down, I'm out of hope for any kind of miracle! Hope everyone else has a little more luck.

Herewegoagain0 · 25/03/2024 16:38

Cautiously optimistically have a positive either dpo11 or dpo12. Had a chemical in January so not wanting to get excited just yet. Af due Thursday so will wait and see…

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/03/2024 16:51

@YorkshirePeridot Thank you not sure if mine is maybe to faint still for 11/13 dpo as last time I was like 4/5 weeks when found out then lost baby at 6/7 weeks

Deff sounds like it could be a chemical I'm always scared of them myself to that's why holding out for digital till AF late

Deff like min my first was no hold 10dpo 3pm

before when did chemical happen for you if you don't mind me asking?

OP posts:
Herewegoagain0 · 25/03/2024 17:16

@UnicornPrincessSarah My chemical happened the day after my period was due so really early on - had my first bfp with that pregnancy exactly a week before I starting bleeding. Only did the one test and then never tested again to see if the lines got darker or anything.

Shortcake06 · 25/03/2024 17:26
