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!

@aph413 oh no, well at least enjoy the extra day off soon!
@babybeany ha I know, I'm a bit obsessed already but it's only ICs so they don't really count eh?! I'm either due at the weekend or the following Wed as my cycle length varies. According to when I think I oved, earliest I'm due is this time next week. Soooo exhausted though, cramping, nausea, sore bbs. And light headed, but it's probably just the sun.

@MaGratgarlik I don’t see anything on the photo I’m afraid... but like you said, you are only 7dpo. Fx for you! I think we are due AF on the same day! 😉 x

Thanks @Aph413 I'm going a bit line eyed already! Must step away from the tests!

Really hoping it's good news for you but it really is out of your control now, easier said than done I know, but try to enjoy the Bank Holiday.

Thanks MaGrat I'm just terrified now. Burst into tears telling my mum this morning. She just told me to put it out if my mind because I can't do anything about it either way, which is true, just not the most comforting thing.
I can however just about squint something on your test. Try again in a few days

Sure I can see summat eek!

FX @aph413 I think sometimes it's to do with the amount of dye in the test itself.

Good luck @clumsyfool.

Someone have a word with me. Felt so dizzy and tired since yesterday and woke up with sore throat today so POAS! I'm 7dpo max. Why can't I resist?!! Staring at an ic on one leg with one eye closed by a window now! Blush

@babybeany I guess the panic is that todays line is weaker than one from Saturday that was from a 1 hour hold.
I know I can't do anything about it, might get my husband to lock the tests away and just try to accept the result for as long as my period stays away

I got a bfn yesterday on a frer (thought I saw a squinted but think I was just wanting to see something) currently CD29 when I’m usually 24 days so don’t know what to think right now, weighed myself and still no usual pre menstrual gain, normally put on a good couple of pounds right before af arrives, surely if I was pregnant it would show on a frer by CD28? Might get another if no af today (who am I kidding I won’t be able to not!)Blush

Babybeany · 07/05/2018 08:55

@Aph414 try not to panic and stress. Easier said than done I know. Your hormone level just might not be that high. Also, your FMU is definitely the clearest way to tell. Enjoy your bank holiday and set your alarm for the morning. Otherwise you could try holding your pee for 4-5 hours? But don’t over drink as it can dilute the wee 😊 x

I'm meant to be 16dpo today and now I'm panicking because my tests are still super light. Worried it's not meant to be.
Also trying to talk myself down because it wasn't fmu I used today so it could be that.

@frowningflamingo I tried that one - the ring cut my finger once it got past the knuckle! Never had a problem getting it off before. Bizarre.

Spottyyellowdress · 07/05/2018 08:08

@babybeany if it stays up I think that’s a good thing?!

Babybeany · 07/05/2018 07:50

Ok, I haven’t monitored my temperature the entire month. Infact I’ve only been doing it 1-2 dpo. However it has been rising! It started at 35.8 and this morning it was 36.6 Is this a sign of anything? Currently 7-8 dpo and driving myself mad!! 🤣

Doodlebug89 · 06/05/2018 23:45

Argh, have just looked ahead on my app and I’m away for my next 2 fertile weeks 😫 this is our first month back to TTC after skipping March and April for timing reasons (so our 4th month TTC altogether). So annoying that if it doesn’t happen this month it will be AUGUST before we can try again 😭😭😭

FrowningFlamingo · 06/05/2018 23:44

Oh spotty that's doubly awful!
For next time - though I hope there isn't one - I don't know how easy it is to do at home but in a&e they sometimes use a trick with a length of elastic - there are YouTube videos of it.

Spottyyellowdress · 06/05/2018 22:26

@silverpenguin @hidcat no went to the jewellers in the hope they had some amazing trick to get it off...instead they just cut through! And the massive kicker was...’are you pregnant?’ Erm no, just fat fingered. Brilliant.

silverpenguin · 06/05/2018 21:33

@spottyyellowdress are you ok? Did you have to go to hospital?

I've been spotting the past couple of days so I'm definitely out now. It's cured my POAS addiction if nothing else!

Pleased to see lots of BFPs though ! Pass is some of that luck for the June bus please!

JustLikeTheySaid · 06/05/2018 21:28

After 6 days of flashing smilies I then got the solid smiley today, complete with javelin arse pain this evening which suggests ovulation. We've been BD lots the last few days so I hope something might happen this month...

FrowningFlamingo · 06/05/2018 20:50

Thanks babybeany I did! Feeling nice and relaxed now so hopefully next month will be our month! Lovely to get back from holiday and have a bank holiday off to recover!!

HidCat · 06/05/2018 19:53

@Spottyyellowdress 😳 are you ok? What on earth made your hand swell like that?

EverythingNow · 06/05/2018 19:04

Definitely not me @babybeany I’m loving the sunshine drinks!

Babybeany · 06/05/2018 17:45

Welcome aboard @FrowningFlamingo Hope you enjoyed your hols? Hopefully you relaxed enough to let a sticky beam happen... Fx for you x

FrowningFlamingo · 06/05/2018 17:42

I can't actually remember if I posted on the thread to start with. Will catch up on the recent happenings this evening! I've been in holiday for two weeks so not been checking in.
Just in case: 30yo, cycle 7, TTC #1
I think I have started spotting though I'm only 8 dpo according to clue. AF should Not have been due until 11th. Any chance it could be implantation?! Clutching at straws here...

Babybeany · 06/05/2018 16:13

Anyone else feeling guilty about the amount of sunshine drinking they have participated in? Nope, me neither! 🥂💖🦋
