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!

Just been told my day 21 blood test was ‘dissatisfactory’. Nothing else. So so worried, no idea how I’ll make it through the rest of work.

ClumsyFool · 09/05/2018 11:11

@MaGratgarlik1983 I think I can see something too!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 09/05/2018 10:27

Morning all. Sorry your af came @mrsy87.
Got a frer from the shop this morning. Think I can see the faintest of vvfl but my eyes might be tricking me! What do you think?

@LookingAtTheStars89 are you just doing one round of Clomid then before they start the other tests? Or you doing the full 6

Babybeany · 09/05/2018 08:14

@Aph413 so sorry 😐 Give yourself time to be sad. Something I have learned is that when horrible things happen, it’s ok to be depressed. Big squeezes x

ClumsyFool · 09/05/2018 06:27

@aph413 I’m so sorry for your loss, make sure you take time to let yourself cry, rant, whatever you need to do, we’re all here to listen anytime you need also Flowers

MrsY87 · 09/05/2018 05:30

AF arrived early this morning on CD24 at either 9/10dpo 😞 only cycle 2 but I'm feeling really down about it this morning. I'm away for a few days right in the middle of my expected few next cycle too so don't feel like we'll have a chance then either 😞

MaGratgarlik1983 · 08/05/2018 23:25

So sorry @aph413 and @everythingnow.
Welcome @DBoo so sorry for your previous losses.
Well, I POAS today, stupidly thought I could see something in the ic so took a blue dye test but bfn obv as too early! So it's back to the tww waiting game!

MrsY87 · 08/05/2018 18:41

I'm so sorry for your losses @Aph413 and @EverythingNow I've been there and it's awful, take the time you need to look after yourselves, hope you also have some good RL support around you.

8 or 9dpo here, tested with a FRER this morning with SMU and it was a bfn...not really sure what I was expecting so early! 🤦‍♀️ however I've got backache which is quite normal for me in the run up to AF so expect she'll show Friday.

HidCat · 08/05/2018 18:11

@Aph413 and @EverythingNow I'm so sorry. I hope you're both ok.

DBoo · 08/05/2018 17:39

Hey, jumping on.

Tomorrow i am officially in the tww.

Cycle #3 trying for number 2 i guess. Pfb stillborn and also had a first trimester mmc and second trimester mmc.

Nillynally · 08/05/2018 17:39

Hi guys, 11 dpo and a BFN with a FRER. Been weeing all day today so was hopeful! Will see if AF comes Saturday x

Spottyyellowdress · 08/05/2018 17:23

@aph413 @everythingnow so sad for you both. Thinking of you.

@lp17 thank you! In an odd way I feel quite happy about it - for the first time in forever it’s not horribly painful and heavy and it’s arrived on time with very little spotting beforehand...maybe my body’s sorting itself out a bit!

EverythingNow · 08/05/2018 17:08

@Aph413 I’m so so sorry to hear that Flowers I had the same happen to me last week it’s horrible, so very sad and so disappointing. Thinking of you x

Aph413 · 08/05/2018 17:00

I'm out. I was pregnant but confirmed miscarriage today. Good luck everyone.

ClumsyFool · 08/05/2018 06:56

Well it’s now CD30, couldn’t get a frer yesterday so got a clearblue and am annoyed at myself now as I have read how unreliable they are! Got s really faint line but then I have read so many times where that has happened and it’s been false so back to square one. Think I need to step away from tests for a couple of days for my own sanity and bank account and if no af still by the weekend try again then. Hope everyone else is doing ok?

LP17 · 08/05/2018 06:54

@spottyyellowdress typical!! That's good though I suppose? Good luck for the next one...I might well see you on the June bus myself! X

Spottyyellowdress · 08/05/2018 06:46

@lp17 af literally tuned up as soon as I got in bed! Typical. Relatively pleased though as I’ve had quite a normal cycle for the first time in months.

Onto cycle 11!

LP17 · 08/05/2018 06:43

@spottyyellowdress We did, I really just tried to not to pay attention and enjoy my own ice cream but it was hard. Also - it ain't over til it's over - and that's when AF arrives. Some people take weeks to get a BFP. Fingers crossed for you!!

@justliketheysaid You do have a few see through dots on that chart which are usually time warnings, but if you've tried to do it after a solid period of sleep then the results should still be fairly accurate. Mine looked like that until I ovulated and now I've got the same temp (with a 0.02 degree variation) every day, which I'm now worrying about as it's not like any other chart that I've seen Hmm trying to remember everyone is different and there is no 'correct' chart which definately means BFP/N x

JustLikeTheySaid · 07/05/2018 22:44

I am worried about my temp. It's been up and down like a yoyo all month so far. Either I'm not testing right or there is something wrong with me...

@lp17 ugh what a way to put a dampener on your holiday! Hope you still had an amazing time.

I’m really clutching at straws here - 13dpo, af due tomorrow, spotting’s stopped, a couple of cramps, but temp’s highest it’s been all week...obv bfn today but anyone reckon I’m still in with a shot?? 😂

LP17 · 07/05/2018 20:32

Hi all - hope everyone has had a good bank holiday weekend and congrats to the BFPs!

I've been away with Europe with friends. One particular friend didn't have a single alcoholic drink, any cheese and wouldn't have a steak or any other meat. She was obsessed with ice cream and had quite a few naps....wonder what that could be about 👀 It was an unintended baby bomb but very hard to take when you're feeling like shit. I have extreme guilt for drinking during the 2WW and have just had some spotting today at 10DPO (AF due Saturday but based on how bloated, spotty and moody I am I think it'll be tonight/tomorrow).

Gutted.

@clairehr Ovd at CD12 which seems earlier than what OPKs have told me the past 2 cycles...who knows! I carry on reminding myself that at least that means I've ovulated...how are you getting on??

Wingingit321 · 07/05/2018 18:51

I’m out :( period came early this month. For the last 5 months they have been between 24-40 days (only one 40 day cycle). Blumin pcos. Surely if I’m having periods I’m ovulating? Even if they change by about 3-5 days a month

bubblybrit · 07/05/2018 18:18

@LookingAtTheStars89. I completely missed ovulation this month 😢 had one day upon my return from a girls city break where there could have been a slim chance BUT when I returned home my DH had a viral infection so we haven’t dtd at all this cycle!! Hows you? Xx

Babybeany · 07/05/2018 18:07

@MaGratgarlik1983 I’m due af a week tomorrow. Normally a 28 day cycle on the nose. Lots of cramping and have had thrush for about 5-6 days now! I’m too scared to use a pessary as the packet says not to use if pregnant or ttc. If I’ve been uncomfortable all this time and could’ve used a pessary to clear it all up I’ll be gutted! My bbt is rising as the days continue so keeping everything crossed! X
