March 2025 TTC support group

[Room4onemore]

Hi everyone
moving over to March now as AF has arrived today. That means my last cycle was 26 days. My cycles haven’t been the same since being on the depo injection. I’ve had 33, 28, 31, 29, 21 lol. As long as I ovulate then I’m happy.

Is temperature the only way to know if you have actually ovulated?

@F1boxbox I also found out that a colleague is pregnant today. We were actually pregnant together in December but she miscarried at about 5 weeks and I found out about my MMC in January. She got pregnant again straight away without waiting for her period whereas I wanted to wait for my period. I am genuinely delighted for her and it's actually made me excited about TTC. But I'm also dreading the unavoidable anxiety. I'll be a bag of nerves. It's a very hard time!

Sorry @Muddysocks1 I can't see a line x

Booked a fertility test today in end of mars, we can get it free in Sweden but the quene is long so I actually booked private. I hope we get somewhere doing this 🥹

@Muddysocks1 i feel like I can see a vvvvfl line on both but i have major line eyes

Try again in a few days hunny ❤️

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me jumping on here? I’ve been ttc #2 for over a year now and no joy so I decided to try and track ovulation using test strips this month (I knew it likely wouldn’t be straight forward as I have pcos but I thought I’d give it a go anyways).
My cycles vary, no 2 months are the same and I truly have no idea when I am going to ovulate each month. However, the last 2 days I have been feeling cramps, I have gone off my food & my emotions are heightened.
I thought I had found my peak on CD 19 (Monday) as I got a ‘high’ result on the premom app and then my LH began to get lower each time I tested.
Last night I was feeling crampy on one side so decided to do another LH test just in case, and lo and behold, it had risen again. I didn’t get chance to take one today until later in the day because I’ve been flat out working but tonight it’s risen yet again to what it was last night. I’m so confused, is this normal for it to rise, drop and then rise again? Have I actually not peaked yet? We’ve BD every other day for the last week & I’m so over it at this point I’ll be honest 😆 But do you think we should continue to BD given these results ?? Sorry for the long winded message I tried to condense it as much as I could! Xx

@minimims2 you can have multiple Lh surges, sometimes if there was a failed ovulation. Will need to see your strips to see if they were actually positive.

@carolinep3 sorry I’m confused, what do you mean? Did my screenshot not attach? Or do you mean I should have kept the strips that I uploaded pics of to the app? X

Oh no sorry, your photo didn't come up for me first time I looked. Maybe failed ovulation first time and your body is trying again 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree. I'm pretty sure my Flo app has mentioned double surges of LH. Basically means your first surge wasn't high enough to trigger the egg to release. So it surges again! Keep doing the test strips and I'm sorry, keep at the BDing 😂 ngl, that is the part I'm least looking forward to in a couple weeks. I cbaaaaaa 😂

Peak is normally a ratio of >1 so those tests would suggest you are maybe about to peak. I’d keep testing twice a day and hopefully you get your peak tomorrow! I would continue to BD but both times I’ve conceived we did 2 days before and O day so not essential to do it every day (but it does improve your chances)

@cacarolinep3 oooh I haven't, Ill buy it now 😊
I'll just add the q10 anyway then, can't see it doing any harm

Definitely recommend (and the book), but be careful which you buy. Some of the cheaper ones aren’t as good quality, and you want the right type of Coq10. I’ve been using this one: https://www.naturesbest.co.uk/co-q10/co-q10/ubiquinol-100mg/ it starts with the egg recommended 400mg but it’s quite pricey so I’m taking 200mg for now

@littlefox90 @Muddysocks1 I use this one https://amzn.eu/d/irggsb8 used it the first time I was pregnant, used it for 2 months and fell the second month. I'm on my second bottle this time so 🤞

That looks good and cheaper, thanks I’ve saved for next time ☺️

Me too - I think what I’m seeing is just the strip where the line would go, rather than any colour. Only 9dpo today so there’s still time 🤞🏻

I know shouldn’t test so early but then it feels like I’m actually doing something about it in a silly way?

@Muddysocks1
I've done the same, tested way too early, and thought was completely negative but now I'm starting at it from every angle thinking maybe I can see something?

Omg I see the line! ❤️😍

@F1boxbox do you, I keep having to hold it different angles to see anything, 🙈😬 so scared it is just an indent!

@carolinep3 i can see a very clear line at first glance! 👏🏻 👏🏻

@carolinep3 I'm pretty sure I can see one too!

Thanks. It has no colour, so I'm hard to be hopeful incase it is an indent!
Waiting till tomorrow is now going to seem like foreverrrr!
@Muddysocks1, there might be something there, it is still wet in the photo, did you let it dry and then look?

@carolinep3 I definitely see something! Fingers crossed for you!🤞🏽✨

update on my lh tests - this was from this morning, as you can see it’s dropped again. BD again last night, really hoping that yesterday was my real peak and lh stays down this time! X

Are you measuring BBT? That might help you pinpoint ovulation too. And checking for egg white CM

Fingers crossed @carolinep3 🤞🏻

@minimims2 quite low LH for a peak but easily could have missed a peak over 1 given there was 20 hours gap between your CD22&23
