March bus

You never know @hatepickinganame fx for you! The only “symptoms” I’ve had is loads of cm (which normally doesn’t happen after ovulation) and the day of cramps I had yesterday. Nothing today apart from cm! It’s madness.

@paintfairy im the same, ive figured out from my last three cycles i know when i ovulate, its between cd12 and cd15 but i get loads of EWCM and cramps when it happens so i dont really need to use opks or temps to tell. We are definitely returning to the if it happens, it happens mindset. I think talking about actively trying put too much stress on us lol

@Newbie0818 i literally dont have a single symptom. My boobs are usually sore pre-af but aside from a slight ache even thats not really happening. Defo out this month 😂 at least ill save myself the 40 quid i spent oj tests last month 😂😂😂😂

@Hatepickinganame yep exactly we need some people try haha I saw the others too xx

I managed to by pass the baby aisle phew. I did end up peeing on an opk though just to get it out my system haha!

Boobs are a bit more tender, but I don’t know if that’s because I’m poking them so much 🤣

@sausage1990 I ovulate day 11-12 pretty religiously. I can also feel things. So I don't really need to even obsess. Just be DTD the right week. We did smep last month and that didn't work so I'm going to back off. I agree- it's meant to be fun. I'm old so haven't got lots of time but stressing won't speed it up.

@paintfairy God its so easy to become obsessed.

Last month was my 1st opk experience and it really stressed me out. This cycle I decided to listen to my body and just keep an eye on my CM like I always do (even before TTC) an then do a few opk to see if it matches up.

It's hard but I think you're right in scaling it back @paintfairy and I try to remember that we're trying to start our family and it shouldnt stressful.... I appreciate I'm only in cycle 3 and lots of people are alot further in their journey and /or are struggle with fertility but while I'm not in that place (because I may be one day) I'm going to try to remember that at this stage it shouldn't be stressful 😊

@Hatepickinganame Aawww I know i keep looking out for all the familiar names and keeping everything crossed.

So tmi warning but I actually feel more hopeful this cycle, my CM is doing what it usually does... Starts changing to more ewcm and more watery, hopefully it will now go fully ewcm in the next day or 2 (and hopefully be perfectly in sync with the opk). Which is what I'm used to.

Last cycle was the 1st once post chemical and although I got the opk peak and a small amount of ewcm, I just didnt get the same pattern. It was creamy all the way then 2 days of stretchy cm then back to creamy. No thin watery cm, or slippery ewcm. Then af arrived 11days dpo.

This month feels more normal. So I feel like my body has recovered from the chemical and it ready to try again 🥰

AND its my 30th birthday tomorrow... Which feels a bit special!!!! Xx

@Sausage1990 @Hatepickinganame

I'm the same. I'm becoming obsessive. Coming on here won't help as I now know what I need to. So I'm scaling everything right back and trying to chill. No obsessive temping or checking everything. It's just stressing me out.

😂😂😂 I know that feeling...
Although right now I am trying to wee on any paper strip I can find. My opk got a bit darker this afternoon. So soooooon....

Fingers crossed for you my dears! ☺️

Just walking home and it’s taking every ounce of my being not to buy a pregnancy test 😱😂

@Gembo25 theres a toothpaste test as well 😂 and vinegar... itd be interesting to get a pregnant person to try it vs a definitely not pregnant person though lol

11dpo not 13 😂 @sausage1990 i keep checking back to see if you guys have bfps yet and you can guarantee that if AF doesnt show up on sat ill be here getting my hopes up! I refuse to test until it's a week late though cause i was 5 days late last month. Having said that im so convinced im out ive got AF supplies in my bag ready in case i get caught out!

Well, spotting over, still have the cramps and sore boobs thought, will test on Saturday, just to have a definite answer, I don't know what to think, oh and I do have nausea

@Hatepickinganame like everyone else obsessing and everything I was lookin at other signs and tests and that and apparently a little bit of urine and the same amount of bleach mixed together.... if it fizzes it's supposed to mean ur pregnant If no reaction then not?? Wondered if anyone has tried it before??

@Hatepickinganame That being said... I've started getting some ewcm and my opk is getting darker so it's soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Gembo25 I think the bleach test and all those other wierd and wonderful ones are a load of rubbish really... A but if fun maybe to make the TWW go faster but essentially not reliable😕

@Hatepickinganame hia 👋🏻 I'm like you, dipping in and out. I find switching off from here for a day or 2 helps the time go faster... But mine is the long wait for my fertile window - stupid long cycles. X

@Gembo25 whats the bleach pregnancy test??

@Posharmchairs how annoying for you! You know the saying though, youre not out til af shows!

How's everyone else doing? Taken a little break from MN to try and stop myself from obsessing, im sure we are in with zero chance this month and to be fair its 13dpo for me and havent even been tempted to test. No crazy symptoms or anything. Im quite proud 😂

Ok ladies has anyone ever done the bleach pregnancy test???? I'm not sure how it works exactly Iv jus googled it and wondered if anyone has done it and it been true?? Xx

@whatsthecraic91 time to get the oysters and strawberries out then 😂.

Bit more pink cm last loo trip, hoping af sorts herself out tonight.

I’m going for it next month, temping, opks, baby making muffins, the works!

@Posharmchairs that's so annoying, hope it comes soon so you know where you're at! CD7 for me so fem is predicting ovulation next Wednesday so time for lots of DTD!

@karenkeys me too.

@whatsthecraic91 ah that’s cute! We are going to try but I really hope if I do get pg baby gets a day other than 25th dec. But if they do they do!

My af is driving me up the wall. Still no sign. Not even spotting. Tiny streak of pink in cm but microscopic. Nothing on loo roll or pants.

Cd 40 for me. If I ovulated late I reckon I’m out anyway with negative frer.

Just want it to arrive so I can start a fresh cycle of feeling hopeful.

Where are you up to?

This waiting is torture. I still have no spotting or other symptoms either way but with the negative IC this morning I’m confident AF is coming...

Still no af and no cramps today. I’m really trying to not convince myself I implanted yesterday to avoid disappointment!

Still spotting a tiny bit, don't know....
