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?

I’m joining from the Feb thread too. Cd10 for me today so we’re in FW. Cycle 2 ttc #2

Hopping over from Feb too - AF arrived yesterday for me. Had a chemical last month. I'm using Mira to track ovulation, finding it really really great but so expensive!

@Digby86 thank you! We will get there in the end! I am very lucky and already have 2 boys so I am feeling very grateful for them!
im on CD5 now so going to keep my eye on the signs for ovulation and hopefully this is our month!
really would like to avoid a December baby as my eldest is 9th December and it’s a very stressful month having his birthday so close to Christmas 🤣

@AlbatrossSociety Has she arrived?

I am now SIX days late and NADA!!!! Getting really annoyed with her not appearing. I just want to start the next cycle!!

Yes, finally, arrived this morning. I'm really relieved to be on to a new cycle, I do feel more positive immediately so I'm hoping yours arrives soon and you get the same relief. It is sooo frustrating waiting for it, hope it's not too long for you.

Hi everyone, I've come over from the last month's support group, hope everyone's ok.

AF isn't here yet but my Natural Cycles temp went down today so feel like I'm out again 😭😭😭😭

@Tia22 when is AF due? x

I've had a weird cycle this month been spotting for the last week when wiping got hopes up it was implantation lol. All tests negative so no idea if I ovulated and if my next cycle has even started?! Tempted to try tracking bbt next month or just to "relax" 🥴 and DTD every other day x

Hi ladies. I'd like to join too if that's ok. I'm hoping to be able to start TTC for #2 in March. I've tested negative since having a D&C for an MMC nearly two weeks ago now. So I'm eagerly awaiting AFs arrival so that we can start. I've never wanted my period to start so badly in my life!

Bless you, it's just horrible isn't it. Every month feel like I drive myself crazy thinking of all options and trying to keep hope.

From my app, it thinks I ovulated Weds or Thurs ? I did a test Friday morning and it was negative, wasn't going to test again today but thought I didn't want to put myself through that especially with the temp going down.
Sorry for way tmi (but I know this is what we do haha) erm when I wiped earlier it was dark so either period is coming or could that be something else? I've had cramps since day 4/5 post ovulation xx

@Tia22 could be implantation bleeding 🙏if you ovulated last week, still early days so in with a chance. Same drove myself crazy and feel like I had all the signs😔xx

@SureLook so sorry for your loss. It's a painful wait! Hope AF comes quickly for you xx

It's so cruel isn't it, getting the same symptoms leading up to AF as pregnancy, how cruel!

Thank you, I really hope so. I think I'm about day 10 post ovulation so still time, but it's just that my temp has gone lower this morning, that normally means AF is coming .... Hopefully not!! xx

Hi all, jumping over from previous threads. Entering fertile window of cycle #485928 for us 😂or so it feels.
Does anyone use an Oura ring? If this isn’t my cycle, I’m tempted to get one because obviously a £300+ smart ring is going to be the answer! Or so I’ve told my husband ha. Honestly so sick of it all now, I think TTC gives you such a sense of fatigue. On a positive note, @Tia22 crossing fingers and toes for you lovely 💕 Keep us updated.

Omg I could have written your message 😂😂 I completely understand all of this. Sounds like we've probably been trying for a similar amount of time with that cycle number haha! We will get there

I was tempted my the ring a few months ago but didn't when I saw the price. I take my temp every morning but would be interested to hear about the ring, will try anything at this point!

Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🥹 I have been really cramping again, so I think it's probably coming but not out until AF arrives I guess.... Temp was down again this morning though.

TTC is just so hard xx

I hope I ovulate early this month so I don't have to wait so long for the TWW to start but at the same time I want to ovulate later so the egg has time to mature but how do you stay entertained 😂 I can't with all this wait TTC

My partner got me an oura ring for valentines day for temp tracking. It's a bit annoying as you kind of have to use it with natural cycles, it doesn't communicate with any other app and it doesn't give you an actual temperature, just a change from baseline. It also takes 2 months to learn your baseline. Having said all that, I do like it and feel like it's helpful for tracking lots of aspects of health. But I have had to download natural cycles as well otherwise the temperature tracking thing is a bit useless.

Hi everyone, joining from the Feb chat as AF arrived today which I'm not too shocked about as we only dtd once during my window. This is month 5 ttc for us since I started tracking with ovulation tests

Hey guys hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread. Technically due today but AF hasn't appeared but I know I'm definitely not pregnant lots of BFN's, I may have just ovulated later.

But the disappointment has hit hard this time, as there was that wee glimmer of hope! But it has shown me that i definitely want no2 after being a bit on the fence. So throwing myself fully into it now!

When does everyone plan to DTD? I don't think I've the stamina for every night 😆

Was thinking if I ovulate on the 1st, do 26th, 28th and 2nd maybe?

Also joining from the Feb thread - AF due today (, no sign yet) but had a BFN yesterday so assuming on its way! Also feeling the sadness today @BelBabe
@BelBabe how old is your first? To answer your question def not every night!! I think they say every other day is just as good. Think we are going to try that from day 10 to day 20... Tried OPKs last month but no peak detected so no idea what's going on but decided we'd just go for covering the whole period if we can. I have regular periods and EWCM so hoping I've just missed my peak somehow with the tests and ovulation still happens.

Hi! Hoping to ttc again in March, just waiting for my period post ectopic rupture. I’m also breastfeeding my first still so feel like that makes things a bit more difficult too!

I literally have no motivation this month, the thought of going through that heartbreak again is so scary. Emotional rollercoaster with none of the highs it feels like at the moment!

I'm going to use OPKs to detect peak and d2d peak day hopefully the day before and after and really try not to get my hopes up!

To make things worse DH is having a gut scan next month and has to take radioactive dye which I'm assuming might affect his sperm!

It's so hard Sunshine. Even though I know in my heart I'm not pregnant until AF arrives there's always just that wee thought of maybe maybe maybe.

DD is 4.5 and getting pregnant was a breeze. First cycle trying wham bam done. So I think that gave me false confidence that a second would be easy but now I'm 36 and slightly kicking myself we didn't just go for it a few years ago.

OPK are tricky it can be so easy to miss your peak. Have you used the Premom app? Gonna give it another go this month and see if I can really narrow down my O Day. Also have dug out an old thermometer so might give temp a go this month too.

Just need AF to arrive it's so rubbish just waiting in limbo

Started having a little bleeding now, still a small amount and pink? But, probably AF coming I guess.

Have had quite a stressful day as my husband has been having an op and only came out a couple of hours ago. So this would top it off ahhhhh xx

I know it's rubbish. I am just wanting AF to get here too now so I can move on to the next cycle will you test again if it doesn't show in the next few days?

Ah same here, we got pregnant the first month with my son too (now just over 2) we've been trying properly this time 3 months but I came off the pill in June. It's so hard looking back and wishing you'd started sooner but I guess got to try and focus on looking forward now and trusting that what's meant to be will be I guess!

I bought the expensive ckear blue OPKs so will carry on with them for this month as the premom app is to use with the cheaper ones isn't it showing lines? I've got a thermometer too and considering giving temping a go too

@Tia22 so sorry to hear this especially on an already stressful day. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. Also you are never out until it’s a full flow! But I know sometimes it’s worse to keep that hope - I’ve been there ❤️. I’ll be thinking of you.

@AlbatrossSociety ahh that’s a lovely gift! Can he have a word with my husband please 😂. Yeah I’ve seen that you have to do a subscription with Oura then also NC which seems a pain. Thank you for sharing though as it’s good to know the ins and outs before I take the plunge!

Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️
That's so kind

Unfortunately AF is here, hardly slept last night as cramps were so bad , makes it even worse when you don't even want it doesn't it!!!!

Should be picking my husband up today, thank you again.

Sending lots of positive vibes xx
