March TWW Thread

[pokeyAC]

They say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb.  By the end of the month we should have a few new lambs on the way.  March is also the first month of spring, and spring is the time of rebirth.  So let's get to it!

This is a place for everyone in the TWW!  Come in and say hello, get some support, ask some questions.  Then come back and let us celebrate your success or give you hugs and encouragement.

Good luck and to all!  Let's make some autumn babies!

Hey all, got a BFN a couple days ago at 10dpo. No AF yet, but no symptoms either so i'm expecting her to arrive any day now. The plan now is to increase BD days, so instead of 5 days before O, we'll go 4. (i know. risky. lol) BUT... we're going to wait a couple of months before resuming. W/ 5 kids already, i really don't think a new baby in December is such a great idea, and while we're at it, a winter baby, w/ my being prone to ppd, isn't exactly ideal either. So good luck to you all. Hopefully I will see all new faces when i come back. ;) Congrats to all the BFP's!

See you in a few months lady elm - lol or hopefully I will be a grad by then😜 - I love your reasoning - Christmas will be busy enough!

Angel baby - welcome!!! Sorry to hear about your m/c - it seems once we start monitoring things in ttc we notice those a lot more - (where previously it would have been a late cycle). Many if us here are poas addicts so you are in good company - here's hoping this is your month!

See you soon, ladyelms! If we don't conceive this month we're going to take some time off too because we're going on vacation the first week of April and I would really like to be able to consume some adult beverages! lol

And yes, chuord is right- I've been POAS since a couple days after O LOL!

So today is about 7 DPO for me and I had (am having now?) some strange cramping. I'm praying it is implantation but who knows! I don't know that I've ever had implantation occur so I have no idea what it feels like! 

Happy March everyone! I'm so excited to be out of the miserable winter months, even though it snowed here today!

[katiecornflakes]

Hugs and baby dust ladies! I am still following along! 

[Livnkadesmom]

Hello all! Can't believe we are entering another month! Baby dust to all!!!

[mamacatsbaby]

Hello, hello ladies! 2013 has some get-up-and-go now doesn't it?! Hoping for some more BFP's this month! Who's nearing the testing window? I'm 6DPO today, feeling good. We'll see if something's cooking in there soon enough!

I'm finding the differences b/w these last two cycles fascinating:

Check out today's temp dip. Interesting stuff! Hoping everyone's weekend is starting off on the right foot .

[mamaBlue]

Hello March! I'm still here, of course. 5dpo and waiting. Zero symptoms. Ho hum. :)

[SparkleMaman]

I bought my first opk today and have been temping. Just hangin out waiting to o.

[writeonyogamama]

Oh! And DS has not nursed in more than a week! Hoping that will improve my odds this cycle.

[Larski]

Still here, too!  9 DPO today.  Tested this morning and got a BFN.  Not terribly surprised.  Doo dee doo.

Very interesting chart, Mamacats.  Hope it was implantation!  Same goes for you, jjh!

This is me about 6 DPO (not even sure when I O'd this month, truthfully).....  I'm praying it's not just all in my head!!  It's only a few notches below the intensity of normal menstrual cramps (which should come in about a week), so I'm about to bust out a heating pad.

Or maybe I just need to go to the bathroom.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and dealing with super short cycles. I am here in the tww because after seeing an RE on Thursday I figured out that I'm just o'ing very very early (like day 7-8) BUTTTTT...if I o'd when she thinks I did, we hit my fertile window so that would mean I'm 10-12 dpo. So far I've had what I'm feeling is bad pms. Trying to not get my hopes too high, well see if af shows tomorrow or monday. I have been constipated (tmi, but it's not typical for me at all) for the past week or so, had some very light spotting (only noticeable when I wiped) this am, but even after bd this morning, nothing. I'm very bloated and keep getting this weird cramp on my righ flank almost like a "stitch" when you are running? You know? Weird. But that is all for me!! Wishing everyone lots of luck this month!!

Oh and I was pretty emotional last night...but that's typical for pms

writeonyogamama, I've gotten my 3YO down to twice a day, a short session when he wakes up and before bed. We'll see how it goes!

The ambiguous nature of the TWW is hysterical isn't it? Careful with the heating pad JIC though ultrafighter. Hope the cramps mellow out soon!

Hi there CLS! GL and baby .

So, why oh why is the weather mocking me?! I swear, this is the neverending winter, ugh! Come ooooonnnn spring, let's do this!

[CLS182]

Mamacatsbaby, I hear ya! I'm ready for bbqs and beach trips!!

[PrimalJoy]

I think I'm 2DPO. OPK never got really dark, but was definitely darker then lighter, so I'm going with the belief that I O'd on CD11 again. Because of my funky schedule, I think I missed the actual surge. BD timing should be okay, though, since we did it on CD 8, 9, and 11. Time to chill out and distract myself for a while!

[adiejan]

Hi All! It's my first time posting and would just like a little advice/support. We have been TTC#1 since 2009. Gave up infertility treatments for awhile (too emotionally draining) now in 3rd cycle of clomid with hcg trigger shot. Currently 10dpo. Yesterday I started spotting and have not today. Is this implantation or could I be starting AF early? Really, really hoping it's implantation but always hesitant to get too excited. I also have very tender breasts, feeling tired, and frequent urination. Could be all of the hormones or wishful thinking as well. Trying to decide when to do hpt

[chuord]

Welcome CLS
Good luck to all in The wait!!
Welcome adiejan!!!! What a long journey! Might I also recommend you check out 'taking the scenic route to a bfp' there's a fab group if ladies all with slightly longer journeys and so much info to share 😃
Re testing, there's a list at the start if this forum of accuracy and dpo % so you can make your own decision as to when you want to test... From memory you sound like you're within implantation times, and the symptoms could be promising or AF - I'll be very excited to see how you go on 😃 - I'd be tempted to take a test myself, but not be upset if it was negative as its still so early... Hope this helps - fx for you and your miracle
