The March 2017 Bus is waiting (impatiently!) in the station...

I couldn't see a March bus yet so I thought I'd get it going for all us early birds Grin

Here are my stats:

Age: 22
TTC: #2
BFP due: March 3rd

It's technically cycle 3 but we took last month off after cycle 1 resulted in chemical pregnancy :( so I'm eager to get on with it Grin

Anyone else joining me nice and ridiculously early on the March bus?

It's easily done, I thought I was 6dpo last week and kept going with opks as had 2 positives a week apart, this month was exact same, thought I'd read tests wrong last month so used the CB digi opks this month and lo and behold 2 positives a week apart

Sazwest · 09/03/2017 16:14

I'm 6dpo ( thought I was 11dpo but got my dates wrong) xx

QueenGiggles · 09/03/2017 15:57

I'm only 3dpo but got me wondering when I felt it and was busy both times so wasn't exactly looking for it! I'm probs just coming down with something as know it's too soon

Sazwest · 09/03/2017 12:40

@QueenGiggles how many dpo are u xx

QueenGiggles · 09/03/2017 11:40

How soon after conception can you have symptoms? I only ovulated a couple days ago but yesterday went all lightheaded in work (which has only happened previously when preg) and pretty tight and crampy down low! I know this is too soon and not been looking for symptoms, have just noticed as it's cane yo my attention while pottering about

QueenGiggles · 09/03/2017 11:20

sazwest I wouldn't say it was better if testing early, I was just meaning it's possible to get positives at anytime testing if your holding back on what your drinking/weeing

WantToGoingTo · 09/03/2017 10:54

Thanks for advice foggy and flip. I think I will stick to pool mostly then and just dabble in jacuzzi briefly. I can't wait! Will be awkward with drinking etc but I think I will cope :) Ahhhh can't believe I am back here again, feels like yesterday I was trying for #1!

FlipKat · 09/03/2017 10:41

Spa trip sounds fun! I think the advice is not to stay in jacuzzi or hot tub or sauna for longer than 10 minutes. If your core body temperature rises too much (I think 2C above baseline) in early pregnancy it can increase chances of miscarriage. Massage and anything that doesn't heat you up sounds totally fine though! Have fun!

Foggymist · 09/03/2017 08:55

Yes spa will be fine, enjoy it.

WantToGoingTo · 09/03/2017 07:35

Sorry af arrived user but great news your cycle is evening out. Positive sign for next month! :)

WantToGoingTo · 09/03/2017 07:34

minime I share your excitement - just got my first positive opk! Cycle 1, so mega chuffed body is doing what it should. I thought my opks were faulty as lines were so non existent until this morning!

Problem is can't dtd tonight as MIL is here overnight (awkward...). But we have dtd CD5, 11, 12, 13 (today is 14) and can dtd on CD15 too. Argh the dreaded tww is approaching. Having heaps of ovulation pains so pretty sure will be ovulating this evening.

So next question - I have a spa weekend next weekend with girlfriends and I will be 8/9/10dpo. I have a massage booked and we will be going in jacuzzi etc. Reckon it's ok?! They will also be drinking but I think I can hold a drink and sip v slowly and hope no one notices... Will be too early for me to test before I go.

Usernamegone · 09/03/2017 07:29

Fingers cross minime I hope you get the BFP you want for your birthday!

As for me I'm out as AF arrived! However, I am pleases that I had a 27 day cycle instead of 22 days like last month. I'm hoping my cycle will settle now x

Carlotta82248 · 09/03/2017 07:27

Its amazing what the human mind can do, defo neg test today at 11dpo, convincing myself there is a feint line, there absolutely isn't!

minime2017 · 09/03/2017 07:18

Morning ladies, I've just had my first static smiley on the CB digital opk. Seriously happy to see it! Going by Ovia my peak day would have been 2 days ago. I've been using IC tests and now see that may have been stoping dtd too early in FW. Fingers crossed for a more successful month in March. Turning 40 at the weekend so it would be the best gift ever Smile

Foggymist · 08/03/2017 21:03

Fmu is necessary before or when af is due, when it's late you can usually test any time of day.

Sazwest · 08/03/2017 20:31

So is evening wee better than a morning one @QueenGiggles xx

QueenGiggles · 08/03/2017 20:20

polly it may be! Any positives I've had in past have all been aftrnoon/evening

Usernamegone · 08/03/2017 19:49

I have run out of FRERs (as bought them on BOGOF last month) so can't/won't test again until Sun.

Usernamegone · 08/03/2017 19:47

Have been sick with a vomiting bug Sad

Still no AF and another BFN. Last cycle was 22 days (so was expecting AF on Sat) and most other cycles since coming off the pill have been 24/25/26 days which was shorter than pre pill (28/29 day). I have never since puberty had a cycle longer than 29 days. No bloating/cramping to indicate AF is imminent. Don't want to get excited but hoping this is my lucky month x

Polly85 · 08/03/2017 18:12

Is poas in the evening when you haven't drunk all day the same as fmu? Just wasted another fiver Blush

Carlotta82248 · 08/03/2017 13:44

Trying to look on the bright side and it looks like the April bus will be full of lovelies! Good luck Polly x

ttcnovice · 08/03/2017 13:27

I'm out I'm afraid everyone, AF turned up this morning with a vengeance Sad. Onto cycle 5 for me, trying desperately to keep positive.
