March bus

Just thought I'd start a March bus for anyone just edging into the next month for testing/AF due!

I'll start with my stats:

Trying for baby #2 with a 2.5yo DD
Cycle 2 (although first full cycle after having the implant removed)
CD1 today
AF/BFP due sometime after 5th March depending on what my cycle wants to do this month!

**IS loads to catch up on! Stupid autocorrect 😒

MrsB2019x · 29/02/2020 22:02

Haven’t been on here for a few days and feel like there isn’t loads to catch up on, so exciting to see some of you are approaching your testing window 🎉🤞

I’m not entirely convinced I ovulated tbh, I only had a halfway-to-positive OPK last Saturday then it was completely blank from Sunday onwards 😕 I had sore boobs for like 2 days but that was it and I have no other symptoms at all so pretty sure I’m out for this month ☹️ AF due next weekend.

Newbie0818 · 29/02/2020 21:15

@hatepickinganame yeah I’ve not been using it for too long, about 3 months, so that’s why I was using opk’s to at least get some idea about what’s going on lol.

I’m quite crampy right now so I’m guessing I’m out this month. Seems like af is knocking at the door.

Hatepickinganame · 29/02/2020 20:49

@Newbie0818 ive used flo for three months, first month it was spot on, last month i was 5 days later than it said and this month i ovulated earlier than its original prediction. It depends how long you've been using it and what data you input to how accurate it is. As for testing, its whether or not you can wait 😂 im terrible for poas!

Im currently 8dpo, absolutely no symptoms whatsoever and trying really hard not to look for any 😂😂😂

Newbie0818 · 29/02/2020 17:56

So... Flo predicts my af will start on Monday, but I’ll only be 10 DPO (days post ovulation). That’s assuming I did ovulate after my opk turned positive. I’ve had irregular periods and last month was my first time using opk’s so I think the app is basing it on that?

Should I test then or just wait and see if af does in fact turn up? Getting itchy feet now.

Franklydear · 29/02/2020 17:32

@paintfairy sorry to hear your news, next time... I haven’t tested yet, 1 more week to go to af...

Lola871 · 29/02/2020 16:40

@rooarsome sorry to hear AF got you!

@littletandme I can see something on the second pic you posted, test with an FRER tomorrow!

Bic501 · 29/02/2020 16:29

@Adrianoska thank you for the welcome. I'm 33. Haven't really done anything as yet other than start taking pre-natal vitamins. I used to have a CB fert monitor which was how I got pg with 2 of my children. So I might invest in some CB ov sticks, to try and help me understand my cycle a bit and I have downloaded flo.

Sorry to hear about your BFN's ladies. Don't think I will be far behind you.
@Peggy91 I know. I don't think I'll be testing to Wednesday after af will be late if it hasn't came since then. I have no symptoms at all so 🤷🏼‍♀️

paintfairy · 29/02/2020 16:22

@Adrianoska yes. It took a while to get going but started properly last night.

Adrianoska · 29/02/2020 15:54

@paintfairy did you get your AF or not yet? Sorry if I missed the post 💕

Newbie0818 · 29/02/2020 15:46

That would be so much easier @Adrianoska haha! I like the flashing belly button idea 😂

Adrianoska · 29/02/2020 15:39

Sorry to hear their @roarsome... Hopefully next time you will score the goal 😊

Adrianoska · 29/02/2020 15:38

Hello @Bic501! Thank you for joining 😊
Good luck! I too have two kids already (12 and 6) but from a previous marriage. Now my husband and I are desperate for a baby together.
I am 36 though so I am a little bit worried... I hope it will happen. We have been TTC only for 3 months. It took me 6 months each time with my previous pregnancies. How old are you? And are you doing anything in order to support your fertility? I have gone mad by now... Doing all sorts. Proceive Max, Conceive Plus, hahaha.😅

Adrianoska · 29/02/2020 15:34

@Newbie0818, I would never be able to check my cervix. I passed out once trying to insert a tampon! Hahaha. Can't do this.
Ohhh how annoying it is that we can't simply be informed the moment we get pregnant... Like a flashing light in our belly button or a notification sound? Hahaha 💡🔔🔊🤔

littletandme · 29/02/2020 11:45

Looks more obvious when I've tweaked the colours a bit! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@littletandme My IC's are still taking too long to show up but it's getting quicker but show up obvs on the frer but now a clear blue (not digital). Give it a go 🤞🏻 x

rooarsome · 29/02/2020 10:17

Sadly Aunt Flo decided to turn up today- 6 days late. Everything crossed for next time though! 😊

karenkeys · 29/02/2020 10:06

@littletandme that’s a good idea i think I’ll dip a FRER in if I get a hint of anything on the IC in the coming days too. I’m due AF on Wednesday or Thursday so at that point I should know either way

littletandme · 29/02/2020 09:39

@karenkeys yes FRERs are much better but I refuse to waste the money until I get some kind of squinter on a cheapie. Will test again in the morning with a cheapie then dip a FRER in the same wee if I spot something!

I only have two FRERs but I have about 5 cheapies then some CB digitals for if AF is late!

karenkeys · 29/02/2020 09:26

I saw this www.reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/6kbkp4/dont_use_internet_cheapies_for_progression_10dpo/ and it’s making me think I should be testing on the FRER instead of these ICs 🤔

Posharmchairs · 29/02/2020 09:25

@littletandme, it’s so hard to resist isn’t it! Hopefully in a few more days you’ll see a much more detectable line x

Still no af for me 15dpo, went to poas this morning and run out of sodding tests!

Not feeling overly hopeful as af is very irregular and I had no positive opk reading.

karenkeys · 29/02/2020 09:22

@littletandme I see what you mean but it is hard to tell if it’s the faintest of lines or an indent! I think we’re testing too early. Mines was negative on the same type of IC test with FMU. I’m 10 DPO too. Fingers crossed we’ll have more clarity in the next few days 🤞

littletandme · 29/02/2020 08:25

Indulged myself with a bit of squinting this morning, I think I might be able to see something but not sure that it's not just the indent line! Not FMU either and at most 10dpo so not expecting much!

@Bic51 welcome, maybe a bit early for bfp, you won't have long to wait, I am also a bit mad, TTC #2, at 42, ds is 9. Af due on the 6th, cycle 4 after pill too, trying my best not to test constantly.

Bic501 · 28/02/2020 22:27

Hey,
Can I join please. TTC #4 (I know am crazy but I'm Irish so it's pretty normal over here lol)
I have DS 8, DD 6 and DS 5.
I only came off my pill in January so this is my first cycle so I don't have a clue what my cycles are like.
I think I ovulated on the 17th/18th but not really sure. I tested yesterday @ 10dpo (I think) and it was a BFN. I don't have any symptoms. I had really sore boobs last week and I don't remember having that around ovulation but that's all settled. Had some cramps on Tuesday/Wednesday but have a feeling I'm out this month. Af due Monday 2nd March I think 🤔
