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.

Ah ok thats what im a little worried about as now 3 days in and stip test not getting darker well to me but I don't know lol first was 10dpo then today 13dpo
seems I get darker in pm then mornings

Im not sure maybe till end of the week but with evening urine I think as seems darker for me then, what about you?

Huge congratulations @UnicornPrincessSarah and to everyone who has their BFPs! Lovely news 🎉

ladies has anyone had this happen with there clear blue test my line has vashished

@UnicornPrincessSarah im sorry I have no experience with clear blue but I have heard they’re not the best! Maybe your urine was very dilute?

Was a 2.5 hour hold with no drink SMU did wondfo at same time that's stayed faint pink still not getting super dark wondfos

Started ovulation testing yesterday, today first day of fertile period. Had higher LH yesterday than this point of cycle last month !

@UnicornPrincessSarah any news?

Af still not here and still negative :( decided I need to forget about it now and try focus on other things

Good morning!
@UnicornPrincessSarah how are things this morning?
@Montelukast good luck with your fertile period!
@Grace185 this time is super difficult, the waiting is the worst part. Take care of yourself 💕 there’s always a chance it could still be your month.

Im now 10dpo. Have very sore boobs now and still have a rotten cold. Will not be doing any testing this month as the negatives are too depressing!

@Shortcake06 Yeah it sucks. I'd like AF to come now. We are planning to have a relaxed month of not really trying but not stopping it and just DTD when we want. We have lots of DIY to do and focusing on getting our bedroom done so we can move into it so gonna think about that now. Just need AF to come as its hard to not think about until it arrives!

I’m with you still BFN and no AF either.

I think you are right and there is a delay to fertility, but as a healthcare professional myself it’s not really the story we are told! From research papers etc it seems any delay to fertility has disappeared by a year and many sources say it can be between three to twelve weeks. Who knows ! I hope it’s not six months :p I wish I had come off my pill sooner and used barrier methods until we decided to start trying.
I definitely think my periods are taking time to return to the ‘strength’ they used to be as well, and last month I didn’t get discharge signifying ovulation either :(

@Rosyposy26 how late are you now? Did anything happen for you this month? I was really ill and on antibiotics but thought it was well after ovulation and assume that that would have been the only reason being late if the illness delay ovulation. But now I'm annoyed as we haven't DTD since befote I was ill and know wondered if I ovulate after and noe in the TTW without knowing and haven't got a chance and just have to wait. Its really rubbish waiting isn't it!

@Grace185 im 4 days late going on last cycle but before MC in feb I am
27/28 normally which will be tomorrow or day after. I have no symptoms of anything this month dtd loads but hasn’t worked as all tests are BFN. Just want AF to come so can start again

@Rosyposy26 I feel the same. We ideally didn't want a Dec baby but I think we don't care anymore. We were just going to try and have a more relaxed approached this time but would like AF to come now just to get back to normal!

@Grace185 exactly how I feel going to take prenatals and keep on eye on CM and carry on DTD and taking stress out the OPK were causing stress. the month I did fall I had Xmas parties drinking wasn’t really trying last month cut everything out nothing happened 😂

@Rosyposy26 I've never used OPKs as I think it would push me over the edge but now kinda annoying as I have no idea if and when I ovulated this month and why I'm late! Yeah I cut everything out every month which just makes me sadder haha!

It makes me test to early and I get hopes up then crashing down so this month I’m not going to.

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

Hope everyone is doing good and having a good Tuesday, 12/14 dpo for me to day

Sorry been bit busy today but here is today's update for everyone

So after talking to some other people or having responses to my posts seems clear and blue non digital can have a habit of fading, I can still see a slight blue line but wouldn't pick up if I was to take a photo.

Anyway this morning on FMU on 6.5 hour hold I did another wondfo strip 10mui and a clear and simple 20mui test and both test come up positive

attached photos is now all my tests since Friday 22nd up to today

When is AF due for you again?

@UnicornPrincessSarah still waiting for AF and a BFN for me this morning

Deff wait to see if AF comes or not if late then test as the cold could be something sending hug and fingers crossed

I dont use opk or BBT what we did is sex every 3 days starting from my period ending and was due to stop 3 days before I was due but as I got funny 16th and then hubby with tooth infection to we really wasn't in the mood still haven't been either lol

I also look at what flo and pre mom still suggest maybe ovulation and fertile week and say app was wong it would only be off 1 week really but I have heard some people get ovulation sometimes after period has just ended

It's 5 days late now! I hate the waiting!

Ok and all negative tests? or not tested? I remember I was 1 week late before but can't remember if that was the cycle I took antibiotics on just did a test to be sure one morning then the witch started 1 hour later then we was using pull out method lol
