Anybody else TTC girls in March? Cycle buddies meet here!
Me, me, me!!! I'm quitting my BCP after the next AF and watching with OPKs for my first attempt. AF is due on the 9th, so I'm hoping for a BFP in early April. I've gotten a BFP at 8 DPO with both boys, but I don't know if this is a "me" phenomenon, or something that just happens when I conceive a boy?
I've been exercising like a madwoman since January 31st and on LE since the last week of December. I'm also doing fiber supps, myoinositol, baby aspirin and cinnamon. Lost over 11 lbs so far!
So glad this thread was started. I'm all excited for our attempt :)
Hi girls i am going to join even though I said I probably dont want to conceive in March. The plan is just to BD every 4 days if we can and leave it to chance. Still not sure if I have ovulated, dont think I have, well according to the OPKs i have not but I am ditching those now and just leaving to chance. I will still check in here though and will be rooting for your all and hope you get your BFPs.
Me! Waiting for +OPK any days now !
Good luck to you all!
Did you get af Arimethia?? Still waiting here. Another bfn at 11dpo so expect ill be moving over here v soon! X
I've got the hallmark acne, spotting and cramping. I expect AF today or tomorrow, so yep! Trying again in March! I think we may sway a tad harder this month, drop the frequent release but pick exercise and Rephresh back up. I'm okay with a Christmas baby. :baby:
Boo! I just wish af would turn up now put me out of my misery! Im not uWed to cycles this long! They're usually 23 days!
I too am going to pick exercise back up. Hoping it doesn't raise t too much as it'll only be for 2 weeks. Dropping rephrseh though as heard atomic say its not worth the stress. Gonna be v strict too on le. I am on holiday now and have been trying soooo hard to stick to limits x
I got my first bfn this morning at about 11dpo, so, like dreamingofwin, I think I’ll probably be moving over to this thread soon, too. Still holding out a small hope for Feb, but honestly it was my first month TTC, so I’m okay with a second shot in March. :) I think this time I’ll stick with Vitex and antihistamine. (Had a bad Clomid reaction last cycle.) And I do need to pick up the exercise and be more strict on LE, too! After being on vacation, I hurt my knee playing in the yard with the kids, so my run of great exercising has been busted for the past week. Must get back to the gym!
Officially in here now as cd1 today. Hoping its our lucky month xxxxx
Welcome, dreamingofwin!
This is what my sway was:
Vegetarian LE. I don't watch levels but I try to push breakfast back as far as possible and eat mostly carbs, low protein and low fat.
Consuming Equal and Crystal light
Folic Acid
Baby Aspirin every four days
Alcohol every night AF-O
Husband
Licorice Root AF-O
FR AF-Pos OPK
Briefs AF-Pos OPK
One attempt at +OPK
Are any of you guys switching up your sway? This will be our third month TTC, I'm thinking about adding Vitex as I think early spotting is cutting my LP short. I'm also temping this month to try to pinpoint O. Maybe we'll drop the FR? It definitely seem to lower volume-wise, it may be just too much. My husband jokes that maybe all this is killing off the blue sperm and all he makes is blue sperm. lol
Yeah am switching. Dropping rephresh sticking to vitex as i have an lp issue. Keeping saw palmetto and bought chitsosan.
Started exercising again today too after my back injury. Not doing it as intesnse though as can't get another injury or 3 weeks off work on the sick!
Sticking to 1 attempt at opk too x
7dpo but no signs, so joining for a chat! Xx
This will be our third month TTC and the hurry up and wait periods between AF and O and AF are getting kinda old. What do you guys do to bide the time?
Hey lovely ladies, I already have one December baby but right now I'm just keen to get preggers and get off le!! Just about to have my second attempt though on cycle day 19 and no ovulation signs... Didn't ovulate till cycle day 22 last month so hoping its coming soon. Not doing excersize or represh so can't drop them just doing fibre, anthistamine, one attempt, le diet fingers crossed march is our lucky month! Xxx

My temp dropped again this morning so it looks like I will be joining too. Still not sure if I ovulated. I'll be back with info on what I'll be switching up this cycle (which will be our 4th...I got pg with both boys in 3 :-/ )!
Hi ladies!
I think I'm joining in too. Finally got my af (waiting for it to start again after m/c) this morning and will probably make our first attempt as soon as O turns up.
I have only been on LE-diet for 2 weeks but will still ttc in about 2 weeks. Atomic agreed to this sine I come off a loss (I am not sure why, if m/c in itself sways pink or if the mental state after a loss does?) but we are eager to get pregnant soon again.
I don't know if the diet will have had any effect at all, but I hope so. It was also a girl last time (no sway, just an "ooops"), so hopefully we are able to do it again.
Today I started angus castus (might delay o a bit, but I'll give it a try anyway) and will try my best to keep a strict diet these coming weeks. We are leaving for a vacation in the mountains and will stay with an other family but they eat almost only vegetarian food so thats really a big plus for me since I don't want to tell them about the swaying stuff. Only problem can be skipping breakfast without explanation and it will be pretty tough going skiing with empty stomach. But I'll do it somehow, at least push breakfast towards 10-11 (and stop eating early at night so hat I'll get at least 14-16 hrs of fast).
What should my husband think about now until ttc? When does he start with fr?? 7-10 days before ttc? (Over 35 and just had chromosomal defects with last baby so we do not wanna take any risks with abstaining).
Hot showers and lots of sauna - does it help or is it proven not to make any difference? I will use anthistamines a few days before ttc - should dh do that too?
A lot of questions, I know, but i'd be soooo grateful of anyone has any tiny tips or advice for us!
Lots of us are giving up on FR, letting DH "take care of himself" as needed, or DTD every 4 days and making sure we only do one attempt at +OPK. Atomic says the one attempt is getting 75% pink results, so I've decided not to stress DH out about FR or CFR, especially since he's not at all cooperative about this sway!
March will be our first attempt, but I'm 35 in May, so I'm concerned that conception might take some time. Really hoping baby aspirin and myoinositol will help our first attempt be the only one needed:fx:
Joining you ladies officially here. Got my Feb bfn at 14dpo today, so I’m thinking Feb was my trial run. :) Not sure if I’ll be TTC in March or waiting until April, though. I injured my knee jumping on the trampoline with the kids (so dumb), so I’ve been out from exercising for almost 2 weeks now. And my diet has had a lot of cheats in it this past 2 weeks, too. (Vacation then general 2ww freak outs. Lol!) So, we’ll see how things go, but I might just be a cheerleader this month.
Hi all yes lilithwiser1979 great advice that's what I am doing as my husband does not know I am trying to sway!! I'm35 too so a bit more vintage:)
Marika welcome!! Ask away!
Gearing up for my second attempt expecting pos opk any day now fingers crossed for a late November baby for me good luck to all xxxx

kitkat I totally had a retail therapy type of morning! lavender soap, relaxing spa yankee candle, pink undies, pink socks and minnie mouse jelly bellies :awe: I'm gonna pay for those jelly bellies later but they were so good! lol I feel a little better, but I'd rather have had a bfp :pinksperm:
Welcome to all!
Sorry for bfn and yey for bfn+opk!
I am writing this from my exercise bike at 8pm on a Sat night! Dedication or boring Haha! I am 33 in a few week so expect it could take a while although ds was 2 nd month ttc at 30. We're dropping abstain this month hubby quite fancies cfr. How many times are needed for that?
Hiya everyone. Currently waiting for ovulation using my sticks before having one attempt! :)

My period returned today after having my implant out. Relived to know everything is working again in that department! Means I didn't get pregnant in February though so definitely be trying again and calculating ovulation in March! :)

Hello lfc Sarah. I see you are a fellow UK Lady. Not too many of us on here x
CD1. Yaaaaaay.
I'm realizing my own decreased fertility. I'll be 34 in August and I have Sjogrens which dries my eyes and mouth out terribly, but I'm also dry evvverywhere. I had both boys before my SjS diagnosis and still had to use robitussan back then bc I was "somewhat" dry...I had no clue what I was in store for! :-/
All that said, AS has been amazing helping me with my diet and coaching. Last month I was taking muci every other day from end of AF thru a few days ago...can't believe we didn't get pg! Between muci and ALL the bd attempts every 3 days. Craaazy. Dh is EXHAUSTED. ;)
So this month I'm trying to figure out what the heck to do! I also have to take fish oil for SjS and eat an anti-inflammatory diet, but now with less healthy stuff thrown in the mix here and there. I'm so boy friendly it's going to be a true miracle if we can conceive a girl, lol!
Bethwade I feel the same! My dh does not know I am swaying so eating a little meat I totally feel like I won't be getting a DD but I still want to try! I had GD with DS 2 and he has been the sweetest most loveliest boy ever but really don't want a repeat of GD!! Really want to be happy with whatever we get xxxx

Nice to see all the new folks here! Welcome!
I spent the weekend visiting family in San Fransisco and drinking good beer, that's the upside to not being pregnant yet right? Looking forward to this month. Special shout out to th UK ladies!
Hello everybody! :)
I had a little drink myself this last weekend visiting friends. I don't drink too much in general though, only really happens on special occasions!

Another UK lady here :)
Good luck to all. I have thought about it and although not ideal to conceive this month, at 35 I just need to get on with it!!! I wont use OPKs until AF arrives (still havent returned to normal since coming off BCP 2 months ago...) will plough on with the BD every 4 days.
I might not be joining you after all, bfp in a frer today, however time will tell if it's a sticky! Will be here to cheer you on, tho I do hope I'm not back to ttc, had a loss in Feb so hoping this is it. Only 11 dpo just now xx
Hey gorgeous ladies,
Waiting for + OPKs. Feels like watching for the paint to dry lol.
It's our first month TTC pink and I have never used OPKS, I'm testing twice or three times a day! I guess the novelty will wear off soon ;-)
I keep thinking I must O soon as I have EWCM but no double line yet...I'm on CD15 though so getting a bit worried ...
I have been on LE diet for 5 weeks now, peppermint tea - that's about it. I'm really 'vintage' at 39 so don't want to compromise fertility too much. I was a bit too strict with LE and lost prob a bit too much weight so now I'm maintaining my weight and I'm a bit more relaxed with the diet.
Oh, I'm in the UK too by the way!
Good luck to us all! Xx
Congrats Mrs Incredible! :D All these BFPs, so exciting!
I'm vintage too at 38! Kinda like the times of the month I'm poas, feels productive!! X
Congrats Mrs. Incredible!!
I want to join as well, after a super crazy light bfp on Friday I started af saturday :(. I will be starting Round 2 of Clomid again today, just waiting to hear back from my doctor. Good luck to everyone this month.
Exciting Mrs. Incredible! Way to lead us out with a BFP :) Hopefully it's just the first of many!
