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!

Thank you @GreedyVegan :) We're super pleased and excited! I was worried it might take a while as I'm nearly 34 and hubby is 38 but boom, cycle 3 win. Hope you get yours soon :)

Congratulations! Fantastic news Smile

Morning ladies, not been in here for a few days as work took over last week and we had visitors at the weekend.

Thought I'd share my good news this morning - I caved and POAS this morning and got a BFP!!! Did a Tesco (blue dye) one first, as I'm only 11/12DPO and was more satisfying my craving for POAS and expecting a BFN, but then it came up as a really faint positive (doesn't really show on photo but does IRL). So then I busted out the big guns and used a FRER = definite +ve!

Fx for a sticky bean, eh?! And fx for lots more BFPs to come on the May bus!

High fertility today according to the clearblue monitor. Only CD11 so it seems a bit early?

LP17 · 30/04/2018 07:34

@BabyBeany hi again! I think BFP due around 12th May for me but could be up to the 15th as my cycles have varied between 29-29 days. Today I'm 3dpo - first month tracking BBT. Feeling more relaxed this month as our extension has started to go well. Fingers crossed for us all!

jaykaydee · 30/04/2018 06:34

I've gone from stupidly early symptom spotting to not feeling very optimistic at all. I had some random spotting over the weekend but 5 and 6dpo so too early to be anything linked to implantation. A quick bit of googling doesn't rate it as a good sign Sad

First month ttc, i know it may take a while but already starting to become obsessed which i know is crazy! Xxx

sailorcherrie · 29/04/2018 22:49

The sensitive boobs are back - I always get a little optimistic when this happens hoping it's a good sign, however, trying to be realistic that I've previously had this for the week before my period.

I've found using the clear blue ovulation tests a bit confusing (high fertility CD12-14 then CD20 through to and including today CD27) but have read that a lot of ladies have some weird reading the first month then the 2nd month is more accurate.

With coming off the pill and not having a settled cycle I don't know exactly when AF is due so if I'm going to have a 28 day cycle then it'll be tomorrow or if it's going to be a 35 day cycle then it'll be 7th of May.

Obviously hoping that it doesn't come at all and I get a BFP instead but I'll take my period coming back before another 118 day cycle as a win!

ClumsyFool · 29/04/2018 21:29

I don’t know if af is planning to arrive early? CD21 and I’d assumed it would be another 24 day cycle but I’ve been having period like cramps tonight which usually only happens an hour or so before my period starts. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not coming but I wouldn’t be too surprised now if it does 😩

JustLikeTheySaid · 29/04/2018 21:09

I think I must be starting to come into my fertile window now. Lots of BD to come. The pressure feels pretty high.

Thanks @HidCat

@APH413 I'm glad it's not just me. I couldn't crochet or knit when I had my children so I really want to wrap my own baby up in an blanket I've made.

Aph413 · 29/04/2018 17:29

@GreedyVegan I feel you there. I sew and crochet baby clothes and blankets. Currently halfway through a commission and all I want to do is keep it. I think it makes my broodiness worse!

Thanks ladies! I usually ov around this point in the cycle but neg ov tests... Got ewcm today though and cramps.

silverpenguin · 29/04/2018 16:55

MrsY87 I'm going to test on 8dpo, which is this Wednesday. It's probably a bit early still but realistically I won't be able to wait any longer than that! Like you I'm a POAS addict..

Magratgarlick1983 congratulations on TTC Smile my DH was similar, was a bit on the fence about trying for another as he found it quite tough when DD was very young. He's totally sold now though, more than me I think!

polkadotjersey · 29/04/2018 16:38

@Babybeany AF due on the 17th for me so just after you. Not going to test until I'm several days late though.

HidCat · 29/04/2018 15:05

@ronniemipperton I had bfn on Friday but still no sign of AF so may test again tomorrow. Probably just cycle being out of whack after MC in January though - not had a period since.

Aph413 · 29/04/2018 15:02

@Countrygirl This is what I found. This is obviously based on my ovulation date not yours. I did see a post by someone once that showed the levels of hcg based on implanation date and that meant you might not get a bfp until a few days after af is due.
I'll keep clinging on that this is my month

@Aph413 glad I'm not the only one that caved and tested early, sorry yours was negative too. I didn't actually know it could take that long to implant so you've given me a bit of hope there. We're not out till af arrives.

GreedyVegan · 29/04/2018 14:02

I'm getting my usual cramps and spots by the hour as is usual before af. I'm so broody which isn't helped by making baby blankets and cardigans to sell Blush

Aph413 · 29/04/2018 13:56

I tested today as well countrygirl 8dpo I'm just hanging on to the fact it's way too early and you can implant up to 12dpo so of course its negative

Countrygirl94 · 29/04/2018 13:47

Stupid me went and tested early and of course it was negative. Still have 5 days till AF is due but am feeling so deflated. Was so sure this was our month. How is everyone else doing?

Hi ladies, can I hop on? DS is just over two and a half. For over two years, DH and I have been discussing having another but he wasn't keen. Lots of heated debates etc.
This morning, being oddly spontaneous, we started dtd. Then I realised the rubbers were downstairs in the cupboard, but he just said it's fine, and we did :)
I asked him and he's said let's just see what happens, be relaxed, no stress etc... Cue me quickly stashing the opks away! Last time, I got a bit obsessed about ttc, and he felt lots of pressure, so I think that's something to do with it.
Anyway, I never thought I'd write this, but we are now ttc number 2!!!!!Grin
