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 tested when I got home and it was almost nothing rated at 0.03 I’ve been for a steady 7 mile run did another test when back and nothing again 0.03 again but in wiping I had some brown discharge. I’ve passed along creamy white discharge on run also.

never had the brown discharge before and my period at beginning of the month was very light it was the first one after miscarriage.

confused.

@YorkshirePeridot Hahaha it's so funny that a lot of us are syncing up in fertile windows
Yeah I'm going to look at an iron supplement to see if it will help and make any difference.

@Shortcake06 Im predicted today by flow and Friday for pre mom have had some belly pains and back aches today and am also feeling a bit tired and have body aches like I have done a workout but haven't since Sunday lol (unless you count the 1 min in heaven pmsl) only thing that makes me not think I'm ovulating is I don't really have much egg white ecwm had some Sunday and yesterday and today just feel wet down there like wet myself lol

Yeah my husband finds he needs the 2 days in between to recover himself and get his energy and the swimmers back lol or the urge as he says lol

They didn't do my t4 on this blood test so I'm not too sure and had a look at that brand looks good is that the 14mg one you take?

Hi all, been super busy and had no fine for DTD this week but got this today so must be ovulating/tomorrow. Not even sure can DTD tonight bf working till 11pm

how is everyone? 1dpo here so have just entered the Tww! Anyone else? Xx

@Herewegoagain0 3dpo here so also in the tww! 🙋‍♀️

Im 6DPO holding off for weekend.

Hi Ladies hope we all doing ok, another month with very little egg white ECWM had some random bits here and there from Monday to yesterday but was more just wet and slippery than egg white not sure if this is an age thing I'm 34 or an underlining condition I may need to be looked at,

Had possible ovulation pain on Tuesday the 12th and wed 13th Flo app had me down to ovulate on Tue 12th and pre mom had me down to ovulate today
DTD so far 5th, 8th,11th and Today, going to carry on with every 3 days and stop 3 days before I'm due as I don't do opk or BTT so cant fully confirm the ovulation date

Feeling carm no body weirdness yet and no tender boobs yet either but lets see what happens in these crazy 2 weeks, upping my fruit intake and going to try pineapple to see if myths work also been keeping socks on my feet more since period to as heard about cold feet and womb lol.

Still doing the home barre workouts as well wanted something less intense and stressful on the body

2dpo for me!🤞

Hello everyone! Hope you’ve all had a lovely week!
@UnicornPrincessSarah yes those are the ones I bought. I can’t say if they are the best or not but they don’t give you an upset tummy and my bloods were good!
@Adamsapple89 thats a strong opk! Did you manage to dtd?
@YorkshirePeridot @Rosyposy26 @Herewegoagain0 hope the two week wait isn’t too tortuous! Any symptoms?

I have had a boring week. No positive OPK but I think I am close to positive today. The exact same day as last month! I think I will get my positive tomorrow morning CD17.

@Shortcake06 I have a million symptoms but don’t think even had implantation yet. so will hold off until Sunday to possibly test

@UnicornPrincessSarah is there a reason you don’t OPK ? Just for clarity of ovulation I think that helps me

@Shortcake06 i actually got an even stronger one about 6pm that night. So we managed to DTD yesterday and will tonight as well but feeling like we’ve got lower chances this month. Fingers crossed you get your positive soon

7dpo today! I’ve had a tugging/pulling sensation on my right side all day & also a mild backache but could be nothing! I hate the TWW 😩 it’s honestly all I think about.

Hope everyone else is getting on ok!

That’s the same as me can’t remember if had this feeling before. Been checking my chart from December when I did fall. Unfortunately mc beginning of Feb. keep grabbing my boobs do they feel bigger sore etc 😂

@Rosyposy26 i wish I noted down my symptoms from when I got my positive test last October!! (Which also sadly ended in a loss) I do remember I had loads of CM the day AF was due but I can’t remember how many dpo it started!
Ha me too! A few more days and we’ll know for sure. Are you still planning to test on Sunday?

@mamataylor yes I think so I have a frer coming tomorrow so will save that. Had some cramping to day which I don’t normally get with AF never really suffered with them though AF beginning of this month was very light. Worried lining won’t be thick enough. Been drinking beetroot juice everyday to help.

@Shortcake06 your opk is definitely going the right way, looking good for a peak tomorrow!

I am symptomless apart from the fact that I'm now on day 4 of spotting. It's dropped down to barely anything but still annoying. The amount of research I've done on ovulation spotting this week is unreal.

Have a great weekend everyone, crossing my fingers for you @Rosyposy26 and @mamataylor if you test 🤞🤞

Thank you trying to be sensible and hold off

Hi everyone, hope you're all well! Cd16 for me today. All online ov calculators say I should be ovulating this weekend but cramping/ewcm stopped yesterday so who knows. Dtd every day since last Sunday so fingers crossed. Was exposed to covid this week and although no symptoms yet I'm worried it may affect TTC/implantation if we do get lucky. TTC really does cause so much anxiety!!
Good luck to those thinking of testing soon, hoping for some good news on this soon!

Hello ladies!! I see a lot of you are getting closer to being able to test and/or ovulating! I stuck to my word about not actively trying this month and have absolutely no clue where I am in my cycle and have currently only DTD twice since AF ended. I’m really surprised with myself and although I still hope I’m in for a chance (which is very unlikely!), I do feel mentally I just needed a bit of time to breathe. DP is away until the 19th and then I’m away from the 22nd for a few days, so I know that when he’s back he will probably jump on me, before I go away. It’s looking like once a week is the pattern at the moment. The two times we’ve done it have actually been nice sessions (sorry if TMI) as opposed to me wanting him to finish quickly, or jumping on him quickly on the sofa so I know I can still go to bed early (he stays up later than me!). Next month we are both together more so will likely have a bit more sex, but for once, we haven’t argued because I’m stressed about missing O! Wishing you all lots of luck, I’ll check in again soon to see how you’re all getting on x

Good morning and happy Saturday!
@Custardcreammachine we seem to be on the same timeline! I’m day 17 and generally always ovulate around this time!
@Rosyposy26 i have everything crossed that your FRER will be a lovely positive 😀
@mamataylor i feel the same about wishing I remembered my symptoms! But honestly when I got pregnant last summer I had NO idea so I don’t think I had any symptoms! With my first child the only thing was period type cramps.

After my opk yesterday teatime being close, I decided to do another one in the evening. My urine was very dilute after work. Lo and behold it was a blazing positive 😂 So we had sex last night and will do the same tonight. Prior to that we have been doing wvery second day. Trying not to exhaust myself too much this month and don’t want it to feel a chore. I know the overwhelming likelihood is that we have many more months of trying so it needs to be enjoyable 😂
So I think today is probably ovulation day and hope I’ve done enough.

@Shortcake06 thank you woke up and was sick this morning. But to scared to test. Just did park run Amazon usually delivers late afternoon so will hold off till tomorrow

Thank you @YorkshirePeridot ♥️

@Shortcake06 yes i remember period cramps with my daughter! The miscarriage I had in November I only had increased CM before testing and nothing else. Each time has been so different!
good luck as you enter your TWW. Keep us posted x

@Shortcake06 Ah thank you, I may give these a try then whilst my partner looks in and does some research for some other ones

@Adamsapple89 I had the blood tests done to confirm I'm ovulating but we didn't want to get a bit stressed with the opks and feel like we maybe on a schedule as we are only 3 months into trying, if we are still trying after 6 months we said I will opk then, my partner not to keen on schedules either so DTD every 3 days from period ended and stopping 3 days before I'm due he finds less stressful for him, before TTC we would go months without sex sometimes so I'm loving the very 3 days now lol.

Cycle Day 17 aswell for me today possibly 3/ 4 Dpo and had no symptoms, last 2 months I had symptoms around this time cramps in my belly and back and boob pains AF came both times, but don't have anything all at right now I'm hoping maybe a lack of symptoms may be a more positive sign for me.

@Rosyposy26 @mamataylor I recommend if your not already make a log of your symptoms that happened in the 2-week wait is then it helps you to recognize what can happen with your body during this time and good to look back on and compare, has helped me as noticed Jan and Feb symptoms where completely different to each other.

@UnicornPrincessSarah I am
doinv that using premium app and flo when I fell in December I used clue so using that to look back on. I guess last month was different because of MC.
