I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

Ttc #1
Cycle: ?? Lost track... 2 years.
Cd:2

Last cycle before ivf. I hear about a lot of people falling just before ivf. I don't hold out much hope. You sound suitably disheartened...

Just off 6 cycles of clomid.

Aph413 · 07/04/2018 19:55

Suitably disheartened, most accurate description of me I've ever seen. Fingers crossed for you either way.

At least we both know I'm a hopeless case...

MrsO28 · 07/04/2018 23:35

Jumping on, though not holding out much hope as we have guests next week slap bang in FW and thin walls!

Hi all, jumping on as according to my app I'm due on tomorrow (or should that be today considering its past midnight 😂) and I can feel the familiar pre-AF twinges sadly.

Hi all.
Age: 32
TTC: #1
Cycle: 5 of vaguely regular periods but had been ttc without regular cycles for 2-3 years before that
CD: 3

I have a hospital appointment around the day next AF is due. Would love to turn up to it with a BFP but suspect it will be more of an OK now what conversation. Though would help if DH would go and get his side of things checked, have been asking him for ages...

Not optimistic this month, DH is away most of my FW with work.

MrsO28 · 08/04/2018 11:54

@MrsM2017 seems we're in exactly the same boat, I'm just 10 days further on in my cycle! Fingers crossed.

Hey lovely ladies,

Age: 24
TTC#1
Cycle: 2
Cycle Length: 30ish days 🤔
CD6

We were originally meant to be holding off for a couple more months but last month it kind of just happened, but AF turned up this week! So theoretically this will be our first proper month of TTC 🤔 Very new to all of this... So it's nice to join this post and have some company!

Sending LOTS of baby dust to you all 👶🏻🤰🏻

starsandstuff · 08/04/2018 12:03

Hi all

41
TTC #1
Cycle #1

Currently have the copper coil and am waiting to have it removed which will hopefully coincide with cd1, which I think is due around 24th April.

Bubblegum89 · 08/04/2018 12:38

I’ll join here even though AF isn’t due for another week. I just know I’m not pregnant. May is the last month we are trying naturally before looking into IVF.

Age: 28
TTC #2
Cycle 19

MrsM2017 · 08/04/2018 12:56

@MrsO28 here's hoping for both of us! 😊

Currently no sign of AF so far today - getting some slight twinges but not anything like I usually get when she's due, so not sure what to make of that?!
Also have some creamy discharge/cm today which is weird for me as I'm usually pretty dry (sorry if TMI!) right before my period...?

Trying not to turn into a crazy symptom spotting lady! 😂

MrsO28 · 08/04/2018 13:00

@MrsM2017 I tell myself every month I'm not going to go crazy, and that it's unlikely to have happened.

Then every month, about 4 days before AF I get all crazy. POAS, symptom spot and convince myself that maybe!

It's hard not to!

Justwaitingforaline · 08/04/2018 14:47

I’d like to hop on please!

Age:24
TTC: #2
TTC for : this will be cycle number 19 Confused
CD: 3
AF/BFP due : 4th May

Waiting for DH’s sperm analysis results on the 26th of this month. I’m trying CB dual hormone ovulation tests for the first time so I can at least feel like I’m doing something productive

Dassie81 · 08/04/2018 16:48

Thought I'd join...if we have success this month I won't know until May!

Age: 36
TTC: #2
Cycle length: 32-45 days
Cycle number: 2

Have a 4 yr old, been on contraceptive since she appeared in Jan 2014. Decided time was right for #2...implant removed Feb 1st. 2 periods, ttc for 1 month and missed! Guess no big deal, but caught straight away first time. Now worrying we left it too late, even though it's really too early to worry :) AF over and done with, time to start again!!

foreverclockwatching · 08/04/2018 17:10

I'd like to join please!

Age:32
TTC: #2
Cycle length:25-28 days
Cycle number:5

Conceived DD (18months) 1st time so arrogantly thought this would be easy! Had to back-to-back chemicals, took a cycle off to recover and AF due today but BFN so now hoping for a New Year baby!
Am going to try BBT this month and using Ovia to try and be more targeted with DTD! Also having acupuncture!

FingersXssd83 · 08/04/2018 20:32

Jumping on!

Age: 34
TTC #1
Cycle length: 25-27 days
Cycle: 10 🙄
CD: 2

I have a doc apt on Tuesday, asking for a referral to the clinic as I'm nearly 35. 21 day test came back fine, SA test came back acceptable.

LG93 · 08/04/2018 20:43

Hopping on the bus!
Age:25
Cycle: 9 or 10 - can't remember
Cycle length: anywhere between 25 and 45 days (thanks pcos!)
Cd: 4

Not much else to add at the minute - will have been a year in June since TTC - gp won't refer me to see a specialist until September (she's a fertility specialist gp) as said she's tried fertility drugs herself and they're not pleasant and as we know what's wrong she'd rather be absolutely certain I'm not ovulating myself before we go down that road.

I ordered an ovusense monitor which arrived yesterday so once AF disappears I'll be trying that out to see if I'm actually ovulating or not. I tried temping before but my sleep patterns are quite irregular so hoping this will be more accurate.

Aph413 · 09/04/2018 16:54

LG93 You'll have to let me know how you get on with the ovusense monitor. Seriously considering it with my cycle length

Starsong82 · 09/04/2018 17:16

Mind if I hop on?

Age: 36
TTC: #1
Cycle length: 28 days
Cycle: 1
CD: 2

Came off the pill in Feb after nearly 20 years on one contraceptive or another and having taken scrupulous notes and numerous opk's since to try and work out what kind of cycle I actually have this is the month we start trying. I'm pretty nervous as the internet keeps telling me my age and BMI (both 36) are against me but fingers crossed!

Definitely on this bus - AF showed up early this korning, albeit a day late, but she's here in full force!

Keeping everything crossed for this month as hubby is away with work during half of my fw!

MrsM2017 · 09/04/2018 17:18

That should be "morning" not "korning"!!!! 😂

starsandstuff · 09/04/2018 18:46

Found out I can get my coil removed on Thursday. The GP told me on Friday it would be 6 weeks 🙄 Annoyingly they could actually do it tomorrow evening but I'm working late and I'm convinced I'll actually be ovulating tomorrow!! So definitely May for me.
