March bus

Really late last month*

Can I join? Think af will be due first few days in March and would like some testing buddies :)

26yo, ttc since December, irregular periods after coming off the pill in August. Ovulated really pretty late month (cd27) but I got a positive opk yesterday (cd19) and alight cramps. Didn’t even realise the Sperm meets egg method was a thing but we’ve been doing it unknowingly! Using pre-seed. The lot.

Anyone else as crazy as me? X

So there's a few of us due af around 4-5 th march... Or bfp, nice to have company

Hi all Im a few days in to the TWW so jumping on board the March bus.

AF due on the 4th March so fingers crossed she doesn’t appear!

Cycle 2 for me but DH has been fully on board and tracking ovulation with me so has been a dream this month. I have been working away from home for the past few months but luckily over my fertile week I have been home so fingers crossed!

I’m attempting not to symptom spot this cycle so need to make myself busy!

@Elmlee welcome!

@elysiann I’m hoping to wait until AF is due on 4-5th March but I have a feeling I’ll end up using a cheapie on the weekend before at around 10 DPO. 😬

Beep beep!
I've got my ticket for the March bus! Destination hopefully BFP Central and not the connecting bus to April Bus 🤞🤞

Tested today, according to Ovia 13DPO. BFN!

Really felt like I wanted it this cycle... we've chatted going to up sex to every other day as it's 3 times a week as it stands.

On the up point, we've baked today and I have a ice cold bottle of fizz in the fridge I will enjoy before going back to work Monday.

I'm 29 in April and my husband will be 28... we are both excited... really didn't ideally want a December baby but I've said they will have a 1/2 birthday if that becomes the case!

Currently on CD48 which is really worrying me... going to leave it until March and see my GP and see if they have any ideas to help. Also welcome to any after my lovely TTC buddies 🥰

@elysiann I’ve been testing so much ( many times) I’ve decided no more testing until a week late and that is Friday 13th, and what will be, will be.

Well my app has had a recalculate and decided today is now my most fertile day, a little earlier than expected! So it looks like I’m on the same timings as you both @Franklydear and @karenkeys , I can’t decide how long I’ll be able to wait to test!

@karenkeys we'll be waiting together, hope we both get good news

@franklydear 🤣 well neither would I, if it wasn't my body and I could just carry on oblivious. How I wish I was a man!

@karenkeys be thankful he's interested! Lol. If in the mood, it isn't a chore. But some months its bound to be inconvenient on that week. I felt a bit that way this month.

But @paintfairy we are perfectly reasonable, who doesn’t check every little symptom and test 3 times a month? Who?

I’ve managed to have sex every 2 days during the fertile week and I should have ovulated yesterday. I found the first cycle was as good as our usual sex life is. This cycle however felt a little bit more of a chore. I think it’s because we both know this was would be our last chance to have a baby this year and the realisation this will be hard after the false hope with the chemical pregnancy in cycle 1.

I mentioned to my husband yesterday that next cycle I should maybe keep the ovulation date a secret but he said he would like to know 😑 It’s fair enough but I think it will be less fun if he does know. You like to think you’re being propositioned because you want to have sex and not because you have to!

So the 2WW has began today for me...

@franklydear sounds like mine! He gets well grumpy if I go on. Says I'm obsessed. 🤪

@MrsB2019x @Sausage1990 it’s no use giving him details, apparently I can analyse all I want, it won’t happen any quicker and won’t have confirmation any earlier.... but I want it yesterday

I had tiny mini cramps yesterday, ovulation should be today, allegedly, dtd lots on the week prior, is the madness starting?...I am supposed to wait a good 3 weeks before testing...🧘🏼

@Franklydear There was a few of us on about this the other day. We've spent so many years on all these contraceptives that we never knew what our norm was... Until now...

@Sausage1990 I don’t go into the specifics of the fertile week/ovulation with him. He knows I test to see when it’s happening, but I don’t tell him when it is because I don’t want it to be forced or for him to feel pressured. He’s just loving that I seem to be initiating it more atm 😂

@Anon87 all I can say is the pill had a bigger effect on libido than I realised

@Sausage1990 Sorry to dive in straight to sex but you asked 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 We've been a little more spontaneous, although we know what we're trying to do, we're not just timing it to bedtime and always in the bedroom.

Sometimes a quickie in the morning, maybe a cheeky one on the couch when DD is at one of her clubs, SIL conservatory when we stayed over one night 😂 Nothing special but keeps us on ur toes lol. We recently got a new mattress which is soooo much taller than the last one which has improved a few positions too.

There's nights (when we know we can have a night off) that we've had some fun and it's not always been about the actual sex, I think that's stopped him feeling like a piece of meat 😂

Hi ladies sorry I've been quiet. I was just having some quiet time while af was with me. I have been trying to keep up tho 🙂

@ApplePie86 We're not taking a break, I'm happy with my baby being born whenever... DH's best friend has his bday Xmas day and my SIL is boxing day so Xmas birthdays don't really bother us much as we're already used to celebrating birthdays around that time. I'd just be happy for a baby... It would be the best Xmas gift!!!!

I'm on cycle 3 TTC #1... Currently CD 8 and predicted ovulation is the 1st week in March (around my 30th birthday). We had a good talk after af arrived this cycle and DH is 100% on board with TTC and he proposed BD every 2-3days for the whole cycle... I'm actually a little unsure how we'd fit it all in but as he's 100% on board this baby making train I'm going with the flow lol 🤞🏻

It's actually feels good to have us both on the same page... Hopefully will help us keep the BD feeling less regimental and more fun!!! 🤞🏻 How are you guys keeping it less regimental in the bedroom? Has anyone managed it? X

@hatepicking, it was like a light short period,... I had one just like it last af and got my hopes up...

@anon87 it might rise slowly over a few days. It doesn't always just shoot up high. Mine will often sit around 36.7 or 36.8 but everyone is different. But this month (although I can't get enough sleep to get proper temps) it seems around 36.67.

@franklydear the implantation bleeding you mistook for af, what was it like? Ive never had implantation bleeding but this months af was shorter than the last although i tested negative the day it started.
