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?

Was thinking the same thing today 🫠

Same feelings with everyone falling pregnant first cycle. I know a few friends who have, so we waited to TTC #2 now it's not happening immediately I wish we hadn't waited 😩 (although had we started earlier and not completely ready it probably would have happened)

I keep thinking this to myself - put it off to start a new job and now wishing I hadn't! But like you said it probably would have happened straight away if I hadn't waited , sods law

@Midnight00 same here, looking like I'll ovulate in the night or tomorrow so day 18/19 normally I'm day 21ish and last cycle day 24! So I'm guessing 19 is good. Just got to hope my luteal phase also starts to lengthen 🤞

I also have acupuncture booked for next Wednesday

I've been busy last week so haven't popped on. It's fantastic to see some BFP on here! Congratulations guys 🎉

@littlefox90 I'm the same - hoping my luteal phase is a bit longer. I'm TTC #2 and on cycle four. How about you?

@littlefox90 how long is your cycle normally?

I'm also wanting to lengthen my luteal phase so have tried a few new things this cycle but won't know until this weekend when AF would normally arrive

Have you had acupuncture before? I've heard good things so might give it a go if this month isn't successful

I'm also trying to conceive #2 but my first will be 18 next week! I'm 34 and on cycle 6 after a MMC last year.

{mention:sjwx}normally@sjwxnormally normally sit at around 32 day cycle with a luteal phase of 9/10 days 😣

Not tried acupuncture before. This will be my first session so I'll be sure to let you all know what it was like 😊

I've added vit C, a magnesium and B6 plus coq10 this cycle. Which I guess means if something or acupuncture works I won't know what one helped 😣

Hi everyone I wondered if anyone could help me work out when I ovulated from the picture I’ve attached of the ovulation tests..every day says low on the pre mom app but the line seems dark?
thanks in advance x

None of these look positive, you either haven't ovulated yet, or missed between cd12-13. These don't have to follow a pattern LH can be up and down each day but still not positive. Hope that helps

Hello, hope I am ok to join this group :)
My partner and I have been trying to conceive for a couple of months now with no luck just yet – which I know is totally normal! We haven’t been super strict about tracking things, but this month (I’m on CD5), I’ve decided to start keeping an eye on ovulation and all that good stuff.
This would be our first baby, and I’m just about to turn 30. We’ve talked about this for years, and we finally feel like we’re as ready as you can ever be for this exciting journey!
So happy to be here, and sending lots of baby dust to everyone! ✨💕💫

Hi welcome to the group 😁

What tests did everyone use? Currently in my tww but I did do a test 👀

Welcome @BeKeenPeachLemur !

@F1boxbox I've used Boots strip tests and some non brand ones from an Irish website. All fine! Ordered some Premom ones for this round. Although, on my two pregnancies I've had implantation bleeding which then made me test so I knew I was pregnant before I tested. What was your result???

Good idea! If there isn’t one, I’m happy to start one.. will go have a look!

its 14DPO for me, period hasn’t fully started but its definitely on its way.. my ovulation wasn’t very clear this month so could be earlier than 14DPO, but anyway I’m definitely out. Had a very emotional couple of days but feeling a bit more hopeful today.

Here we go, for anyone out and will be TWW in April!

thank you ☺️ I have just ordered some first response. I haven’t had bleeding but may have had brown discharge not quite sure as the last few days I haven’t been well so I haven’t really ‘looked’ there is a faint line on the test so I think I’ll wait now till Saturday to do another one 🤞

Oh very exciting @F1boxbox fingers crossed!

Finally got a positive LH today cd18! Thought my follicular phase was getting shorter but it's back up to where it was before. Sooo annoying waiting for ovulation when your cycle is longer.

@Wednesdayonline time to BD!

PSA for all who are trying beetroot juice this cycle, there was lots of chat about it few pages back-for anyone with a shellfish allergy- beetroot juice has something called betaine in it which is also present in shellfish and might make you feel quite bad ( i have learnt too late after drinking yesterday 🤣🙈) shame as i didnt even think tasted that bad! Xx

Congratulations to all those who have had a BFP! I'm 10dpo today, BFN and just had a little red when wiping. AF is due tomorrow and last few cycles I've had slight spotting the day before so I think that's me out. See you in the April thread and fingers crossed for those yet to find out.

Morning guys, anyone 1dpo?

Hi ladies, does anyone know if blood tests shows sperm quality?
Hubby had his blood test results back and all are nornal. Does this mean his sperm would be good or does he still need to do semen analysis? I am confused. The GP previously told him she will refer him for sperm analysis and blood tests but meanwhile his blood tests came back normal and the receptionist insists that we don't need to see the doctor again. He hasn't had semen analysis done yet.
