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!

So a question for you all...

A colleague of mine today (who's a nurse) said to me "oh please don't get pregnant at the moment. I don't know if that's part of your plans or anything but if you were thinking about, just think about waiting a few more months."

Naturally I shrugged it off with a oh don't worry about I won't.... But obviously we have been actively TTC, I'm currently waiting of af or a BFP... So for this cycle it's already decided either way and nothing I can do...

But what about going forward - is anyone delaying TTC due to Covid-19? Is there any advice about this?

I personally felt like I wouldn't delay things because its been 3-4 months already and who knows how long it will take... But now I'm wondering if that's a responsible choice or not.... I'd appreciate your thoughts ladies...
Xx

@littletandme so unfortunate, and now you have to self isolate for two weeks!

littletandme · 19/03/2020 14:38

Hi everyone, I jumped onto the April bus at the start of March as I didn't know what my next cycle was going to do but turns out I've ovulated on text book CD14 which was yesterday so will probably be testing around 29/30 March.

Just about to fly home from Lanzarote, it's been a very odd, very strange "holiday" since all bars and restaurants got shut from Saturday so we had nothing to do and nowhere to go for most of the week we've been here other than to the shop for supplies for our villa. Glad to be going home but also scared of what we are going back to!

Hope everyone else has been coping okay.

Good morning. So I did a test this morning as af due today but it was BFN.
I feel a bit mixed but still going to hope that af won't arrive and that I'll get a positive a bit later... 🤞🏻

Franklydear · 19/03/2020 06:40

Good morning ladies, congratulations to all the bfps, reserve a though for those of us in isolation for the second tww, preventive, I am fine, but I’ll have nothing to do but symptom spotting....

@calimommy ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈

calimommy · 18/03/2020 21:24

@Sausage1990 thank you. Fingers crossed for you

Newbie0818 · 18/03/2020 21:14

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 For you @sausage1990

Sausage1990 · 18/03/2020 20:43

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻She doesn't show up *

(pressured send accidentally too soon lol)

Sausage1990 · 18/03/2020 20:43

Omg congratulations @calimommy!!! So excited for you.

Still no af for me... She's due tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Newbie0818 · 18/03/2020 19:31

Yay! Congrats @elysiann and @calimommy 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Hope everything goes well for you both.

I’m fairly certain I’m experiencing af. It’s still very light but is very dark red. And I won’t be able to get my 21 day bloods done because of all the madness going on :/ think we’ll take a break this next cycle and continue after April. I’m still going to pop back here though as I love seeing everyone’s lucky lines ☺️

calimommy · 18/03/2020 15:04

Yes the last cycle. I'm not going to tell DH until I get a few more positives and they are darker. I think I have a FRER but we can't leave the house with quarantine so it's just IC otherwise. That stash of quarantine wine I built up is looking useless 🤞

Juno231 · 18/03/2020 14:52

Omg @calimommy yes well done!!! This was gonna be your last try no? So lucky it stuck 😁

@elysiann so happy for you too - I'm glad to finally see so BFPs on here!

I'm 11dpo now and cheapie tests are still as white as snow so something tells me I'm out this month too! It's not over until the witch comes though, which in theory is this Saturday.

calimommy · 18/03/2020 14:41

11DPO, randomly decided to do a test as I had FMU and this is immediately after I dipped it. 😬😬😬 not going to test again until tomorrow.

March bus
elysiann · 18/03/2020 14:33

Thank you ladies 😍
@Adrianoska I’m sorry to say I’m one of those really annoying people that it was our first cycle properly trying, although I’ve been off the pill since May 2017 so it was very much out of my system. It’s only been the last 6 months that my cycles have evened out a little bit, but still vary between 29 - 34 days.
Going by last AF I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow but I think I’m probably just 5 x

Franklydear · 18/03/2020 14:03

Congratulations @elysian, I am also AWOL as in limbo at the moment, cycles very irregular so who knows when anything is happening

Adrianoska · 18/03/2020 13:37

@elysiann well done! 🎀❤️
What's your story? I must have missed it or something...
🤗

Adrianoska · 18/03/2020 13:36

@Juno231 i ovulated on 10cd and my cycle is 24 or 25 days these days
... Use to it was 28 days.
Now shorter...

Oh I am still upset about BFN! 😔

Sausage1990 · 18/03/2020 10:56

Ohhh amazing news @elysiann!!! Congratulations on your BFP - giving me hope for the next few days before I'm in the testing window 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

elysiann · 18/03/2020 09:38

Hi ladies - just a little update as I went AWOL. I have slightly irregular cycles but tested on CD27 with a FRER and CD30 with a cheap test and both were BFN. Since then I’ve been having regular cramps, pretty much every day thinking oh here comes AF! But - last night on CD 40 I thought I’ll give it one last shot and BFP! I must have ovulated later than expected and apart from the mild cramps have no other symptoms. Obviously it’s very early days but I’m being cautiously optimistic!! Sending you all the best wishes and baby dust for BFPs for everyone xx

YaThink · 18/03/2020 08:11

I know I said I wouldn't test till after AF is due but I couldn't help myself. I took one of the Clear blue early tests. I'm 12dpo. And it was a negative. Should I still keep my hopes up and try later or forget about this cycle.
Also I'm thinking of not trying next cycle thanks to the Covid-19. My sister is going through IVF and the doctors have said they will have to freeze her eggs instead of carrying all the way through because of the virus and the risks. So perhaps I should wait but I really don't want too.

Juno231 · 17/03/2020 23:26

@Adrianoska does that mean your cycle was roughly 21-22 days? Might be worth keeping an eye on! When you go back for your 21 day test results make sure to mention you ovulated on like CD7 as well.

Sausage1990 · 17/03/2020 23:25

I'm sorry @Adrianoska that sucks.

I'm due af on Thursday and no signs yet... I'm. Probably going to wait to test Friday morning if she doesn't arrive on Thursday. Last cycle she arrived on a Thursday, I remember because it was my long clinic day and I had a little moment in the bathroom on my own... so the fact that I'm waiting for her to arrive (or not) on a Thursday again for some reason it's making me nervous... So stupid... Xx

Adrianoska · 17/03/2020 22:20

No... I have a full on blood river and I am still hoping it is an implantation bleed. Silly us... 😕

How are you doing guys? I hope all is well?

Anyone testing tomorrow?
I am still feeling so down... 😩

Newbie0818 · 17/03/2020 10:26

I’m spotting, somethings FINALLY happening! Is it stupid that I’m still hoping it might be implantation? 😔
