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.

I'd say you are getting close

I think so too. Trying to
stay relaxed about it.

So hard I know. I'm going to do the smep method next month if I'm out this cycle.

@Ella31 cramping doesn’t necessarily mean AF although I know it’s so difficult to tell your head that. Do you know when you are going to test? x

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’ve started taking vitamins more for my general health than my eggs but if it'll improve them too, then great! I am so unfit, and unhealthy so I might as well do some work on my body to make sure it’s the best house for my hypothetical child! Interesting about the 3 months of eggs though. It is definitely helpful to track etc to see what your body is doing!! Helps you to prepare too.

@MelonSmoothie Have you tested anymore? Amazing about the Ovulation kit. Hopefully it will help you to track more accurately than the app.

@Rosyposy26 eek, I hope you have some sessions planned! (Unless you’re just going with the flow!). Glad to hear your ovulation tests are getting darker and closer. Let us know when you get your peak!

Thanks @Emilyx00 , i normally have cramping though but hopefully it's just mimicking pms symtoms. Going to start tomorrow at 8dpo

I will do though OH tired tonight 😂

@Emilyx00 Yeah same as I want to get more fit and healthy I'm doing home workout DVDs right now myself and watching what I eat.

I just don't know when the 3 months start is it like the first 3 months of the year lol

I'm back at the fertility clinic Friday myself armed with questions for them lol

@Rosyposy26 Deff seems like you could be in the fertile stage or gearing up for it

I had this last month also

@Emilyx00 currently CD7 still spotting last 2 days from AF. Will start OPKs Saturday I think. My OPK was positive CD17 Jan and CD13 last month so feel like I need to keep track otherwise I wouldn’t but trying to relax this cycle

Good on you for the eating healthy, I also need to do that. Food shop tomorrow so healthy choices !

@Emilyx00 no the spotting is getting a bit more so I'm expecting full on AF today!

Hope everyone is doing ok 😃

@Emilyx00 I’m CD13 today! Due to ovulate tomorrow according to Flo & Saturday according to PreMom. I don’t track using BBT or OPK’s as I’m worried I’ll become obsessed 🫣 I conceived my daughter & the baby I miscarried last year by DTD every 2-3 days so hoping that’ll be the case for this one too! Will see how it goes!

Hope everyone else is getting on ok x

I caved and tested today 8dpo , I know 😱😅 bfn.

Crampy this morning though. Just waiting for af to rear her ugly head

@Ella31 I think we've all been there at some point.. as you know it's early though so you're not out yet!!!

Thanks @MelonSmoothie you said you expect your af today? What cycle are you on? Hope you aren't feeling too down

Yep @Ella31 looks like it's here which I'm glad about as it means closer to trying again 😂 we are only on 2 cycles properly tracking / trying so I shouldn't be down yet but it's honestly all consuming. Thanks though ☺️ how are you feeling? Have you been trying long?x

Not at all. Its always disappointing when it doesn't happen.

Sort of. I got pregnant week after I got married a year and a half ago. Lost that baby at 8 weeks, had a chemical a few months later and unfortunately lost my twin sons 4 months ago at nearly 30 weeks. Had an emergency section- one boy was stillborn and my other boy passed away 4 days later in nicu.

So I've been technically trying a year and a half but I've had three pregnancies. I've no issues. Mc was random and the neonatal death was due to a rare twin condition. Its unstoppable and just bad luck.

This is cycle 3 since I lost my boys.

Hopefully now you'll have luck soon xx

Going to go with the flow though haven’t dtd the last two nights so hope there plenty inside him! 🤣

we shall see. Then it will be the dreaded few but have a few things planned so hopefully will be easier this time around

Oh gosh @Ella31 that is heartbreaking, I'm so sorry. I was going to say unlucky but it feels like that word doesn't even cover it.

Really hoping this is your cycle (or one very soon) and you have an easy ride as bloody hell you really deserve it.

How are you feeling with everything? Have you got lots of support IRL?x

Hi @MelonSmoothie thanks for the mention. I'm on CD14 and looks like I finnaly got my peak today!! My cycle last month was a week late so wasn't sure what to expect and premom app was all out of sync because of it. Xxx

Morning all. CD13 here and have had flashing smilies the last three days. Haven't managed to dtd this week due to my infection and I'm away this weekend without my husband so getting a bit anxious. Hopefully ovulation holds off a bit!

Hi @Choc29 , fingers crossed for you that it is and you have a good chance!

Sorry timing isn't great for you @YorkshirePeridot how many days of flashing do you usually get before a solid? This will be my first cycle using them... hope the timing works for you! Sorry to hear you have an infection..

Morning im
CD 8 and had a high yesterday but missed my peak on the strips but we dtd anyway and probably will for the next few nights. Premom says I’m ovulating today and Flo has me down for tomorrow after it originally said 14th so to be honest I have no idea so just going to dtd.

@Rosyposy26 oh the apps are confusing I find just doing OPK helps and ignore apps

I usually do one first thing then when I get home from work.

@MelonSmoothie it's only my second month using them, last month got a negative, seven flashing, missed a day and then the static smiley. Going to make sure I don't miss a day this month so can time things a bit better!
