March 2021 testing thread

[flowerbomb]

@flowerbomb I think you're right in classing it as your period. Doesn't make sense otherwise. Good luck on this new cycle

I'm feeling a lot more positive myself again! I think before I didn't have time to process not being pregnant as we had a lot going on, so I didn't get time to just be sad which made it harder - I'd also convinced myself that I was because of different symptoms - so it hit me harder when it turned out I wasn't.

Anyway - this month might actually work out better for work, as I run my own business from home making things so if I was due early December I could tell everyone any Christmas orders need to be in before the start of November and take December off - whereas if I'd been due early November I would have lost out on a lot on income, I know it's a silly thing to thing but realising this has helped me come to terms with it this month.

I think because I'm a bit late in ordering them I'm going to continue how we have been doing this month. My husband wants to take a break if we don't get pregnant this month which will be gutting if it comes to that but I'll order some opk's and get myself prepared if that does happen!

My youngest still breastfeeds a lot - so I am wondering if that's stopping me getting pregnant but then my cycles are starting to regulate themselves so I don't think it is.

I suppose either I'll get pregnant this month or we'll start the opk's in a few months and that'll tell us either way what is going on

I think that's a good way to look at it.
Hopefully March will be a great month for us all

@flowerbomb I definitely agree counting it as CD1 is the right thing to do. A fresh cycle will be good for you knowing where you are. Good luck this month!

Yesterday was CD 26 from when my MC started. My cycles prior were usually 30 or 32 days, they varied.
What do think I just base my cycle on this month? Premom has calculated it at 26 days because that's what I was in Feb? Z

We can hope @flowerbomb if it doesn’t happen for us this month I think I’m going to buy the Ava fertility bracelet as I definitely will not have time for opks when I am back in the office!

Premom just uses the information you input it doesn’t seem to do much else x

I’m having a bit of a scratch head moment line on clear blue was lighter this morning but the cheapies have jumped again?! Dare I get a little hopeful that I might ovulate at a normal time this cycle!

 

[Kris402]

So I tried again last night, urine was still barely above clear so I just went to bed. This morning it's obvious that I did indeed ovulate sometime around the 24th or 25th. We BD'd Sat night, Mon morning, and Wed morning so I'll count myself in a 2ww and test on the 13th!

Massively hoping for us all
Are they any good the ava bracelets? I've not looked into them.
Hopefully you don't need one because it will have already happened.

I think im going to look at testing on 26th March when its CD 30, but I'll start opk's as soon as I finish AF. X

Eeekk good luck x

I actually don't think I will ovulate this cycle. I'm now Day 7, only brown and blood loss is light. HCG tests, still very strong.

 

[Kris402]

I stop testing with the ovulation strips now right?

 

[DinoMum]

This AF is killing me, pains won't give up my back is killing - blood flow keeps slowing down and then gushing as well. It's awful!


I can't wait for it to stop so I can just focus on trying again

I usually go by ewcm at the moment, but try and cover myself by making sure we be every 2 to 3 days once bleeding stops. I'm using a cycle tracker but it's a bit useless. Never gets it right, I'm only really using it still because I can look back once AF arrives to see where we might have gone wrong

Anyone had their their thyroid checked because of not being able to conceive? I thought it was a bit random! They are also going to check SFH and LH but it needs to be in CD 3-5 I think she said....more waiting but getting there x

I got mine checked mrs B! Came back normal! Xx

You can if you want to. I do mine the whole way through but I’m trying to get as much data as I can as having trouble conceiving x

Alright, thank you!

My ovulation test for the Last 2 nights I’ve had 2 lines. Not sure what’s going on. Do I go by figures or 2nd lines. Boobs are killing me now though!

I would say the lines @Clarkecharm what CD are you? Xx

CD18, which is normally my ovulation day or CD20! Xx

Do you have any other signs at the moment? Could just be you are going to ovulate day 20 instead xx

@Mrsbridge17, Those OPK's look great. I'd sack off the CB, only because they missed my surges so I have more faith in the OPK's
