Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will! Smile

May I join you?

Age: 29
TTC: no. 1
Cycle: 1
ETD: 4th June

I also have PCOS (although doctors seem unable to agree on that). I believe I ovulated around the 21st and DTD. However, haven't been tracking religiously or DTD every other day etc. A bit half-arsed about it as my mum would say Grin Was very relaxed about it, until I hit 7dpo and immediately wanted to know what's happening. I'm 9dpo now and have had some weird things going on. Resisting the urge to google, and I'm satisfied that any symptoms right now are imagined!

We currently live in a two bed so no room for a nursery. We are planning on having lo in our room and then move once it is ready for its own room. We don't have tons of money £40,000 between us a year so making the best of what we have. We didn't keep dc things as she's 6 now and didn't imagine we would have another Grin

welcome to all the new peeps joining the bus btw
It's all getting abit exciting 🙈

BusyNothings · 30/05/2016 15:52

Babydances I am about to start ttc cycle 1 for first dc. Very exciting.

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:37

Thanks everyone Grin please remind me are you ttc 1st or is this 2nd/3rd?

BusyNothings · 30/05/2016 15:32

Babydances you are definitely not alone. My mum has been putting together a baby box with all sorts in it for months and I've been secretly adding things to it that I've found myself. Only just starting TTC I've also stocked up on baby books but I am seriously avoiding Pinterest after the obsession that I had during my wedding planning

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 15:24

babydances You are not alone! I have a very full secret nursery Pinterest board... I'm also rather obsessed with marks and spencer baby clothes. So cute.

Hi and welcome autumsunshinebaby

babydances you are not alone!
Yesterday I spent an hour mothercare's website Blush I have been watched video reviews of prams!

Oh and just in case that didn't seem crazy enough, I made a secret Pinterest board of the baby items I liked Blush
Seems like I'll have a lot of saving to do!!

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:11

*prams

babydances · 30/05/2016 14:49

Me too mrsgsnow all I can think now for the last two months is about having a baby! I even keep meandering around the baby aisles and around mothercare checking out Oran's pmsl! Blush

Please say I'm not the only one?

Autumnsunshinebaby · 30/05/2016 14:48

MrsGsnow18 · 30/05/2016 14:42

Welcome BusyNothings!

I really have to find a way to distract myself from constantly thinking about ttc!

babydances · 30/05/2016 14:40

I'm loosing track, when is everyone due to test? I have 10 more days Shock

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 13:04

Bertie Yay! Merry BDing! I've been tracking my BBT, sometimes it's all over the place but it seems to be evening out a bit. Fingers crossed that with that, OPKs and CM I should be on target this month!

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 13:02

thepartyartist I use Ovia, it's probably synced your cycle to your previous abnormal period and it's throwing it off. If you keep inputting data showing you haven't yet it should revert back. A similar thing happened to me this month with odd periods so it's brought my FW forward but as soon as I entered yesterday and today's data it's started to move it back again. Not sure if that's any help?

ThePartyArtist · 30/05/2016 12:30

WriterWannabe83 Thanks - here's my info:

Age: 31.

Plan to start trying to conceive in June (but have been a little less careful than usual lately so maybe should say we sort of started in May!)

First pregnancy attempt!

I'm really confused by Ovia and getting a bit obsessed! Can anyone advise?

Since Feb, the gaps between periods has ranged from 3 to 4 weeks, and the period has consistently been 4 or 5 days long. However, I had a weirdly long period at beginning of May (it arrived 3 weeks after previous one, and lasted 9 days). So according to Ovia I am due a period today but tests today, yesterday and day before are all negative.

BertieBotts · 30/05/2016 11:46

Had a proper BBT dip this morning! Right down to 36.0 when it normally hangs between 36.2 and .5! :) Better get baby dancing! Haha

BusyNothings · 30/05/2016 11:32

Can I join too! Starting TTC from tomorrow. Enjoying our "last" free bank holiday Monday lol and starting to feel a bit like we're going to jump of a cliff... In a good way

babydances · 30/05/2016 11:27

That was meant to say running

babydances · 30/05/2016 11:25

writer when I had DC I recalled one moment in which I had cm with a smear of blood in. That was t and I remember recalling two weeks later it was odd hat my period had started and then disappeared so you're not out of the race!

babydances · 30/05/2016 11:23

Here's me symptom spotting Shock

My boobs have been painful for 5 days from day I ovulated.
Last month my boobs hurt in day of ov and that was it. I checked what I tracked on Ovia this time last cycle.
They are super painful and uncomfortable to the point I was feeling too fed up to dtd last night!

Writerwannabe83 · 30/05/2016 11:12

MrsG - on my previous cycles, and also this one, I only had about two episodes of EWCM appearing over the course of 1-2 days, it certainly wasn't appearing every day. It was my understanding that it only really appeared immediately prior to ovulation occurring so for it not to be present in the first 3 days of the fertile week can be completely normal.

Writerwannabe83 · 30/05/2016 11:07

My experience of what I thought might be IB was that I had two wees in the space of 5 hours and after each one there were flecks of what looked like brown/orange blood on the tissue paper.

It wasn't what I would describe as an active bleed and when I hear others talk about IBs they describe needing to use panty liners or mistaking it for their period and mine was nothing like either of those scenarios.

wispaxmas · 30/05/2016 10:55

Yeah, an IB would only last a few hours to a couple days potentially!

MrsGsnow18 · 30/05/2016 10:50

frog I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother. Hope things work out for you this month!
Surely implantation bleeding would only last a day or two writer?
I am supposed to be in FW, but no CM at all Confused I'm actually driving myself crazy!
