March bus

@littletandme I'm not sure on the ovulation side as I'm pretty new to this! Can I just ask what app you use? :)

@littletandme @Hatepickinganame oh I've read the tattoist of auschwitz. It was excellent. My sister is currently reading cilkas story so I'll be reading it on e she's done. It actually got my really into auschwitz stories which may be a bit grim but I find them interesting (heartbreaking) and think it's good to know about the history of it all. I've just started reading one called "the nine hundred" which is about some of the 1st young women to get transportwd there. I'll let you know how it goes.

Admittedly I usually read light weight and easy read chic lit and I have read some since I read the Tätowierer.

Have you read Eve of Man @Hatepickinganame? The 2nd book is our this year (it's going to be a trilogy) and it's excellent. I couldn't put it down. I think it's the 1st book I've enjoyed that much since I read Harry Potter as a child/teen.

P. S. I enjoy book chat! Please share any recommendations 🙂

@Sdoo4 folic acid isn't for conception, it's to prevent spinal malformation in the foetus. It is very important to prevent spina bifida x

@Sdoo4 Folic acid is good to take when TTC as it helps prevent spinal deformity (I think) in the foetus if you're successful. I think they recommend taking it for a month before getting pregnant. :)
Sorry you got your hopes up! I do it every month

Hi All,
I'm new here so I hope you don't mind me joining!! (Feel free to tell me to go away!)
This is mth 3 ttc, although I'm a little confused!

Usually my cycle is ~27days,
Last AF was 19th Jan, O'd 1st Feb.

This month my AF arrived at 12dpo?? Very crampy and 1st day was heavy, then spotting/light for two days, and now nothing.
I'm v confused as usually AF is heavy for >3 of at least 5 days!! I don't think it was IB as day one was heavy and tested today (off AF) and BFN.

I feel like this has messed up my cycle and now I won't know when I'm due to O or anything. I'm confused and grateful for any advice.
Other than that, I'm jumping on the March bus!

FX for us all!!!

I’d like to join in please. AF came 3 days late at the start of the month so got my hopes up thinking it wasn’t coming. Next AF should be due around the 12th March and I have a 33 day cycle so fertility window should be starting the end of this week and into next week but DTD every other day just incase it’s not accurate.

I see above people taking folic acid etc, should I start taking this? Does it make a difference? Really hoping this month is the month although it is only our second trying.

I’m feeling guilty as I forgot to take my folic acid and vitamin D supplements yesterday, as I was out for dinner for a change and usually take them after dinner. Hopefully one day won’t make a big difference 😟

Hope you’re all feeling positive about this month!

I don't know which bus I belong on now. 😂 Ovulation was either Wednesday (feb) or yesterday (March). So I'll kind of hover......

Story of my life. Never quite fit anywhere. 🤪

Fertility window on, allegedly, so lots of DTD and relax until mid march, don't worry, that tune will change soon enough...

Ovulation is supposed to be today, AF due 1st March - going out on 29th so deffo won't be early testing

And so the dreaded 2WW starts all over again!!!

@littletandme ive never really read any thrillers, i still read YA fantasy ( twilight 😂) and i love a good second world war novel. To be fair what i should do is finishing writing my own bloody book before i have a baby taking up all my time lol

@Sausage1990 im definitely feeling more positive, the chat with oh about actively trying made me feel better lol i did feel like i was more keen than him even though weve discussed it before coming off contraceptive. Turns out he's just as on board as me and apparently more so (i was thinking one more, he's apparently thinking about more 😂) due to ov around 26th feb according to my app, which is CD16 of 30 so sounds about right. Still avoiding opks at the moment, too worried ill be putting too much pressure on us. Will see how this month goes! Every time i see ewcm it'll be dtd time 😂

@littletandme sounds amazing, any books you can recommend? Last good one i read was cilkas story, the sequel to the tattooist of auschwitz x

Hi everyone I'm officially moving to the march bus too!

Currently in cycle 3 TTC for #1. I'm not due to ovulate until the beginning of March (I have long cycles) so I'm just going to chill for a bit & enjoy this quiet time before all the POAS starts again haha.
I'll likely use opk and track my CM again this month but will definitely be BD more than the last 2 cycles. DH is fully on board with more frequent BD (as you can imagine lol) as he's super keen for babies.

I'm with you @Hatepickinganame I've got good vibes for March I feel like it's going to bring us luck!!!

I came off the pill in November, managed to convince myself I was pregnant after a very light short period?, but I guess not, so in the march bus we go

Hi lovelies wanting to join this thread, bit of background
Found out I was pregnant on the 23rd December but miscarried on the 12th jan. First AF post Mx started this morning so hoping to get back on the bus as soon as. Ordered some cb digital opk to use with the cheapies. Hopefully this is the month for baby dust for us🌈

Hi all, just trying again

Hi @littletandme @lola871 and all the other feb bus names i recognise 👋 and hi to all the ones i dont haha officially moving myself to the march bus now, cd7 today, AF due 12th march and refusing to test early this time 😂 hope everyone is well and good luck to all!!

Hi all, hope everyone's having a lovely weekend. Just checking in, currently on CD6, not due to ov until CD16-18 so nothing happening for the next week really! Then I'll start OPKs and go from there.

I've decided to set some goals for the cycle to keep my mind on other things. So I'm aiming for 1kg weight loss this cycle, along with 2 runs a week, 2 weight training sessions a week, and 2 sport sessions a week (apart from the running this is my normal routine so shouldn't be too much of a stretch!)

Anyone else have any goals for the cycle? Besides getting pregnant obviously!!

Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine’s Day!

Currently sat on CD8.. still spotting and I’m so over it now 🙄
