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!

Congratulations @stegosauruslady !

stegosauruslady · 04/05/2018 21:30

It only took DP five minutes. I would have bet on it taking longer. He is pretty chuffed!

silverpenguin · 04/05/2018 21:07

Congratulations stego!!!

@LG93 ooooh that sounds promising!!! Post a picture so we can all squint?

MaGratgarlik1983 · 04/05/2018 21:05

Congratulations on the BFP @stegosauruslady!
Sorry you got BFN @silverpenguin but there's still time!
Sorry to all the ladies with AF showing up.

Pretty sure I oved Tuesday or yesterday. Got a flashing cb smiley on Monday then static one Tuesday morning. Negative again today. We only dtd on Saturday and Tuesday so who knows?! This is only our first cycle ttc #2 and so we're keeping a bit relaxed about it (well DH wants to be relaxed and natural, I'm trying but I find it hard not to obsess!!)

So, 1 or 2 dpo today. Need to have a word with myself as I started to feel pulling and pinching pains in my abdomen earlier, weeing all the time, sore bbs, hot, tired, etc. Surely it's way to early to feel anything though!

What are you ladies up to for the bank holiday? We have a fun day planned tomorrow at a local cultural festival then I'm off to see the ballet at the cinema on Sunday. There's a food fair on over the weekend too and lots of May Day celebrations. Hoping for good weather!

LG93 · 04/05/2018 20:59

I just tested at 9dpo in the evening because I'm an idiot, but I think there's a line!! It's very faint but I think it's there!

clairehr · 04/05/2018 20:50

@wingingit123 I'm definitely waiting until AF is late this month. I'm normally POAS-crazy from 10dpo, but this month I feel really chilled about the whole thing because we've had other stuff to worry about and occupy our minds. I'm not convinced I O'd this month anyway as cycle hasn't followed my normal pattern.

@LP17 Thanks! How's your cycle looking? Temping getting easier? Has a pattern started to develop now to show when you O?

sailorcherrie · 04/05/2018 20:32

...after symptom spotting like a mad woman it would appear the cramping and spotting of the beginning of AF has begun!

Where dat June bus at? 🤞🏻

Babybeany · 04/05/2018 19:49

Biggest congrats @stegosauraslady 💖
Let’s hope this bus keeps on being lucky fx X

ClumsyFool · 04/05/2018 19:34

@Dassie81 sorry to hear af arrived that’s shitty, fingers crossed for next cycle for you Flowers

ClumsyFool · 04/05/2018 19:33

Congratulations @stegosauraslady!! Love the t shirt idea too!!

MrsM2017 · 04/05/2018 19:21

Yay! Congratulations @stegosauruslady Flowers amazing way to tell your dp too! You'll have to let us know how long it takes for him to realise!

Think I'll be hopping on that June bus with you @Dassie81, although I've had no cramps or pains (which is unusual) but just had some spotting when wiping - sorry for the tmi, so pretty sure AF is very much on her way! Fingers crossed for next month for all of us who are out.

Dassie81 · 04/05/2018 19:09

Congratulations to all you ladies with a bfp! And best of luck to those still waiting. I'm out this month, af arrived early for a change! Best flag down that June bus :)

stegosauruslady · 04/05/2018 18:46

Holy BFP Batman!

Looks like baby number four is on their way for us! Squeeeeee!

May it rain babies for all on the thread!

I shall present myself to DP this evening wearing my 'we're hoping for a stegosaurus' t shirt and see how long it takes him to figure out what is going on. He is not an observant man, so it will be amusing.

silverpenguin · 04/05/2018 15:44

My internet cheapies arrives today so I've POASing like a crazy woman - three so far today. Send help! And all BFNs. I don't even feel that hopeful this month but every time I go to the bathroom I see the tests and think "what if...?"

Next month I will be more restrained!

LP17 · 04/05/2018 11:57

@Miserable This month is the first time I have used an app/temping. The very first month we DTD every day for about 2 weeks which was not sustainable...the next 2 months I was just using OPKs but was worried as they don't actually confirm ovulation. Now I have data that shows I have ovulated and it's slightly different to previous months so who knows. I don't want to add anything else into the mix..though I'm not sure what's left GrinBlush

MrsM2017 · 04/05/2018 11:53

Thanks @Countrygirl94 Flowers

I'd save the frer for tomorrow morning! Fingers crossed for you!

Countrygirl94 · 04/05/2018 11:48

@Miserablemouse I'll hold out till morning. 🤞

@LP17 enjoy your weekend! Defiantly a good way to distract from testing early or symptom spotting.

Miserablemouse · 04/05/2018 11:40

Ohhh Countrygirl that sounds promising! Eek, fingers crossed. Maybe hold out for tomorrow so you can use precious FMU on the equally precious FRER?

LP The apps are such a pain aren't they. I had a couple of months of not tracking anything/ no temping/ no OPKs because it was all getting a bit much, but I feel like I might miss out on potentially useful data so I'm back using them now.

Countrygirl94 · 04/05/2018 11:31

@Miserablemouse Ovia is a soul destroyer for those stupid percentage things. That's why I've tried to avoid putting symptoms in though not easy. I'll have fingers crossed for you AF doesn't arrive.
Also hate that they don't have a just nausea symptom it's morning sickness/nausea. No I don't wanna log morning sickness i just wanna log that I feel sick don't assume ovia! sorry now I'm ranting.
Last night I had the worse stomach pains ever, thought there was something seriously was wrong, then this morning sorry for tmi I had diarrhoea and am getting waves of nausea. Half of me says it's a bug, other half says no period so test!

LP17 · 04/05/2018 11:21

@Wingingit Luckily for me, my husband has the tests in his boot to stop me randomly POAS as I work from home most days, so it will have to be with his agreement Grin and that is not a day before AF is due to arrive! Also can't stand a BFN so avoid testing early anyway.

@countrygirl94 save your FRER for your FMU. Fingers crossed!

@MiserableMouse I've also just noticed that feature on FF app and now want to delete the whole thing before it turns into a bloody obsession!! Very difficult as some people get certain symptoms, some dont get any at all. I'm trying not to read too much into anything.

I'm 7DPO today and going on a girls weekend in Europe so that should distract me from symptom spotting until next week anyway!
