March bus

@paintfairy weird question but how can you tell from your boobs? I swear mine get “fuller” at some points during the month (usually after my fertile period), but I can never tell if I’m just looking for changes?

@littletandme I found that. I've stopped doing it because it was driving me batty. I have ovulated because my boobs now tell me so. Lol. But I was worrying I hadn't. Still not sleeping mind.

@Franklydear it is, but I still do it haha! Although not as bad as last month.

@littletandme I’ve never temped before so I have no idea how it works, but it might be worth trying other methods if you haven’t already? I use opk’s and track my cervix position everyday, as well as cm (although that one doesn’t seem to work well for me). Is it maybe worth getting a blood test? My doctor has put me through for one to see if I am actually ovulating after a positive opk or not. Try not to stress too much :( I hate when people say that to me but it does affect everything internally too.

Thank you, is it bad to google ovulation and implantation symptoms already....

Well my fingers and toes are crossed for you @franklydear !

I’m super tired and crampy today. Only 1dpo and already symptom spotting ugh

Sore breast, not breath🤢

@Newbie0818 next af due on the 6th, I want to test on the 13th, so if it was af 5 weeks, if it wasn’t 9, nobody has ever did ribs me as patient so I need all the help I can’t get. The negative was horrible, I got the little bleeding, sore breath and the sickness, I was so sure😩

Think there seems to be quite a few of us ovulating around the same time. I’m CD14 today, app predicts OV today but I don’t think it will be for another 2/3 days.

Strength in numbers right...? 🤞

The thing is even if you test early or test late, a pregnancy can be lost at any time. Hopes are always going to be dashed regardless of whether it was 3 weeks or 11 weeks (my second miscarriage). Testing at any time doesn't cause the loss any more than telling people before 12 weeks or drinking coffee. It's always hard xx

Thought so @calimommy! I’m going to test next weekend with a cheapie to see what the deal is.

@karenkeys yes thyroid levels

I feel like I have to test a bit early to watch for a second chemical pregnancy... don’t they say if you get a few in a row you should get checked out incase something is up?

Wow well done for being so patient @Franklydear I definitely wouldn’t be able to! Seeing that bfn is horrible though so I don’t blame you for waiting. So when is your next af due (assuming the two days was a light one that is)?

@Newbie0818, well, that’s the thing, I had light bleeding for two days, not much quantity, I though it could be implantation bleeding, because I had that on my first pregnancy, but a week later had a negative test, it could have been a very light period, became really obsessed so decided to wait until next af, if it doesn’t come, I will be either 5 weeks or 9 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear who knows! Did af arrive?

@paintfairy it’s true. I can’t cope with watching the Clearblue digital adverts anymore 😭

@Newbie0818 Same! Took me literally no time at all turning into an obsessive manic. 😂

Agree about school. But then tv programmes/ films give that illusion too?

Bug, not bag🤦🏼‍♀️

@Newbie0818,I managed to catch a stomach bag, right round the time my period was due/light...last month, morning sickness anyone?

Well said @Sdoo4 I think patience is key. Even if it is annoying!

@lola871 my periods have been all over the place so I’ve been using opk’s and trying to track my cervix position. My cm seems to be quite difficult to track, but the position of my cervix itself seems to be in line with the positive opk’s so that’s promising I suppose. Always low position when I’m positive on an opk. Apparently charting bbt is the most reliable but I haven’t tried that yet

Evening all. I'm not due to ov until Thursday or Friday next week but have had quite a lot of EWCM today so going to make sure we DTD this weekend in case of is coming early. Will start OPKs tomorrow to see if anything comes up on those. I've not really tracked CM before so not sure how long before ov it normally starts - does anyone else track it and can tell me how it works for them? Thanks!

@Newbie0818 it’s so hard to be relaxed about it. This is our second month of trying but first at giving it a proper go. Last month we DTD a few times during what I thought was my fertile window and that was it. Any sort of twinge I google symptoms then AF was later than expected so you get your hopes up. I know it won’t happen right away but can only hope, everyone seems to be pregnant or feels like it happens so easily for everyone else but you never know what they’ve went through either. They could’ve been trying for a long time.

Thanks for the replies @littletandme and @Sdoo4 I always said I wouldn’t turn into the obsessive tracking lady when I tried for a baby, but low and behold here I am! They spend so much time teaching kids how NOT to get pregnant that when you do try to get pregnant it’s a massive learning curve! Who knew it would be so hard. I swear everyone else I know just sneezes and it happens!

@Newbie0818 we are all crazy!! I’ve not been tracking OPK so if it doesn’t happen this month this is something I’ll try next. I’m on CD14 now, my app has my fertile window from tomorrow with ovulation next Thursday but I’ve had some EWCM the past few days and we’ve been DTD every 2 day’s this week and plan to keep that up so fingers crossed we catch it whenever it happens.
