March bus

@littletandme sorry to hear that, but you can now fully enjoy your holiday. You should continue DTD this month but with less pressure. It won’t be long until you’re back in your fertile window.

Negative IC test for me this morning at cycle day 26. My cycles vary from 24-28 days in length though so AF might be due as late as Saturday.

Sorry to hear @littletandme :(

Yes, maybe take a more relaxed approach if that’s the case and you never know, I hear more about people conceiving like that than anything other.

I’m getting paranoid about af turning up now :/

You never know @littletandme lots of women get cramps in the first few weeks of pregnancy. I still have my hopes up for you 🤞🏼

@littletandme then you deserve something really scrummy like a Veuve Clicquot on your hols x

@sausage 😘😘😘

Thank you to all wished me a happy birthday! That means alot - you ladies are a great support through this roller-coaster that is TTC 😊

To those waiting to test and hoping for BFPs, I'll keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

It seems like we've been waiting a long time for some BFPs in this group but remember we're only on day 4 of March... Plenty of time for some BFPs through the month - let's try to remain positive!!!!

Baby dust and positive vibes to all!!!! Xxx

Totally caved and tested early. 12 dpo max, but very BFN. Not even a squinter of a line! I shouldn’t be surprised as I’ve had zero symptoms and feel very ‘periody’ but I’ve felt a bit nauseous today so had that tiny bit of hope that just maybe we’d have been lucky first time! Just got a wait for AF now, due this weekend I think. Oh well!

@littletandme I’m thinking the same for my birthday next weekend - as bad as AF will be I’ll be able to have a few wines! We still have hope until it’s here though 🤞

It’s really annoying isn’t it lol. I’m trying to talk myself out of the possibility of being pg so that if af comes I won’t go insane, but at the same time I’m completely convinced! Why do we do this to ourselves 😱😂

@karen, all clear, had two red spots on Monday and one brown one yesterday, no idea
@lola I think 13/14 dpo...

@karenkeys I only have one Asda test in, I try not to buy them in advance as I know I'll use them! That one is left over from last cycle. Ideally will wait until Monday at least, due on Tues or Weds. But we all know how these things go!!

@Franklydear how many dpo are you?

@Gembo25 that sounds promising! Good luck!!

Ah PMS is such a bitch, burst into tears 3 times today. Saturday needs to hurry the hell up 😂

@Franklydear all clear of spotting now? For me it’s gone from pink and very little on Sunday and Monday to nothing Tuesday, then a bit red this morning and brown this afternoon. So confused.

I only spotted about 3 separate times since Sunday Eve, I am doing a test Saturday morning, just to keep my sanity, keep having sore boobs, cramps and sickness 🤷

I was due AF yesterday and nothin! I haven't any tests in either to tests so thinkin a trip after work today! I feel really really tired lik I could of fell sleep no problem at work. I ate my dinner and then get immediately sick after to the point I'm dry heavin in the loos!! I'm not sure if it's jus all in my head wit symptom spotting xx

Well done @Hatepickinganame! I don’t think I can wait much longer than Saturday if af still doesn’t show haha 😂

@Lola871 that’s true I guess I’m just comparing to the one attempt last month and have yet to discover things are different each month! Spotting has stopped again (for now). I only have one FRER left I’m going to try and wait until Friday to test again if AF doesn’t turn up. I’ve never been on hormonal contraceptives so I know my period and cycles really well and it’s definitely not normal for days of spotting like this. I’m sure it can be more mixed up when coming off contraceptives though if anyone else is following along.

Would absolutely love it to be my month as it would be the best birthday present for me next weekend and my husband and me would be giving our mums brilliant mother’s day news too 😆 need to keep realistic though.

Have you got many tests around for next week?

I don't think that's the case (that it would definitely be positive by 12dpo because it was last time, implantation could happen later, or HCG might just rise slower, our bodies aren't machines unfortunately so they aren't as predictable as that! I'm not saying you should definitely do a test immediately or anything, just don't assume your body will do the same every time!

I've been looking at my app for the last two months and have now decided that AF might be due Tuesday instead of Wednesday going by my ov pain, which of course means I'll be trying to avoid POAS a day earlier 🤣

@Lola871 I tested on a FRER on Sunday evening just as spotting started and it was 100% BFN. Not tested since as I’ve been expecting AF anytime since then so seemed pointless. Last month (on my first month of TTC) I had a chemical and had a faint but clear FRER line at 12 DPO, so I assumed a negative at around the same point this time means it isn’t happening.

Just fed up waiting for AF!

@karenkeys have you done a test? Sorry if I've missed that post somewhere!

@Hatepickinganame that makes sense! Well done for not testing so far! I haven't felt the temptation yet but at 7dpo you know it's pointless so it'll be around 10dpo that I start getting tempted I'm sure!

@Newbie0818 that sounds like a good plan, 15dpo should have something showing by then if it's going to be positive!

Lots of self restraint being shown so far on this bus!

I’m back to spotting now ☹️ redder then before but still none of my usual AF cramps. It’s messing me up this having spotting on and off since Sunday afternoon. I usually only spot a day before AF, or more rarely 2 days before. This has been 3-4 days if that’s AF starting today! Hope someone can share some good news soon to keep us all going 🤞
