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!

Awww I'm sorry @Adrianoska try to keep your chin up. Your time will come and it will be even more wonderful as a result - sending love your way xx

Adrianoska · 17/03/2020 08:06

Good morning ladies 😙

My period is coming, I am spotting...
I knew it will but still it upsets me. 😕
Yesterday I had a meltdown. You know, full on tantrum... My husband had to reassure me that he is not leaving etc. I didn't behave totally rational 😩

And here we go again.
I just can't wait to see yours BFP s! Anyone is testing?

😘

Sausage1990 · 17/03/2020 07:16

It could be @newbie0818... 🤞🏻 Your busy decides to do something soon. I imagine at this point you just want an answer either way rather than this limbo. Xx

Newbie0818 · 17/03/2020 06:46

So... weird thing happened this morning that I’ve not seen before. Tmi warning!

I went for a wee and when I wiped there was a very light yellowy brown substance on the tissue. Can this mean af is on the way?

Newbie0818 · 17/03/2020 06:44

Thanks @Sausage1990 we will try to :)

Bic501 · 16/03/2020 23:21

Aw so tomorrow will be 1 dpo! Least I know, now to just stay away from the symptom spotting and the FRER's 🙈

Sausage1990 · 16/03/2020 21:54

@newbie0818 I'm glad you're feeling better, but I'm sure it wiped you out - those types of bugs usually do. Yeah it is an anxious time... Just try to avoid too much social media and protect your mental health 💕

I'm sure it will settle down. Cycles can take a while to settle, especially with the pressure of ttc. Try and do some things you enjoy and are good for the mental health... Going for a walk, cooking a nice meal, spending time with your SO with a film and a duvet, nice glass of wine. Some self care goes along way 😊

Newbie0818 · 16/03/2020 21:32

@sausage1990 Wow 69! I really hope it doesn’t end up that long. I’ve been feeling quite anxious with everything going on at the minute so wander if it’s that. I came off the pill in August and they’ve just been all over the place since so who knows what my body is doing.
Oh it was a stomach bug but it lasted for nearly a week. I’m better now just exhausted from it all x

Sausage1990 · 16/03/2020 21:28

@newbie0818 God cd44 is hard going. When I came off my pill for the 1st time in 2016 we were also buying our house so with the crazy hormones and stress of moving etc my cycles were so messed up. I had 1 cycle that was 51 days and another that was 69! It was crazy. I had all the tests and all came back clear etc... Dr said it was to do with stress and as soon as we'd sorted the house my cycles went back to normal which is 32-35 days for me. So I feel your pain... Except I wasn't ttc so less frustrating but i can imagine.
I'm what way have you been unwell? Hope you feel better soon xx

Newbie0818 · 16/03/2020 20:29

So sorry @sausage1990 :( fx for a sticky bean for you both soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I’m on CD44 now 😭 bfn yesterday, but no sign of af either 🤷🏼‍♀️ We last DTD on the 1st too so no chance I’m pg. I’ve been quite unwell and just haven’t been able to cope with it. Just really hope it’s nothing serious...

Sausage1990 · 16/03/2020 19:56

Yes it is @newbie0818... We had a positive on our 1st cycle and it was a bonkers feeling. Exciting, surprising, terrifying lol. But it didn't stick unfortunately...
God I can't wait for another BFP but a sticky one this time would be excellent!
Where are you in your cycle now? X

Newbie0818 · 16/03/2020 19:36

Thanks @Sausage1990 I seem to you remember this is your first too? Is that right? I can’t even imagine the feeling of a BFP, I really can’t wait.

SS123456 · 16/03/2020 19:22

@Sausage1990 As in the OPK peak day I mean

SS123456 · 16/03/2020 19:21

@Sausage1990 I count it as the day after the OPK day too

Sausage1990 · 16/03/2020 18:31

Hi @Bic501... With regards to when do you count ovulation from and do you need to keep testing. In theory you don't need to keep testing anymore just make sure you BD for the next few days 👍🏻

And I count ovulation day as the after your opk peak! I don't know if anyone does any different?? Xx

Sausage1990 · 16/03/2020 18:25

Awwww @Adrianoska try not to be too blue. It's still early, wait a few more days and see then... You're not put until af arrives, and she hasn't yet... Try to wait until Thursday or Friday when af is due or late.

God yes Isn't baby fever horrible @newbie0818. Since starting this ttc journey, the broody feeling has got so much stronger... I didn't think that would happen. But we're all in this together 💕

Hatepickinganame · 16/03/2020 17:16

Hey all, have been awol recently (i work in food retail!) Sorry to hear about the bfn @Adrianoska hopefully its too early. How are you all? Hope everyone is keeping calm in the current panic!

Newbie0818 · 16/03/2020 15:52

I know how you feel @Adrianoska 💔 I want to be a mum SO badly. Even if the world is about to explode. Try to stay positive, even if it’s super hard :(

CD44 and still waiting for SOMETHING to happen 😒

Adrianoska · 16/03/2020 11:25

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Sunshinedelight1287 · 16/03/2020 11:19

@@Adrianoska I'm so sorry for your news. I really hope you keep positive and BFP comes to you both soon.

paintfairy · 16/03/2020 10:49

@Adrianoska it is hard. I've got another week. But stressing raises cortisol which is bad for TTC! 4 cycles isn't long at all really. I'm on 4 and I agree it feels like forever. I'm also old. I'm also taking a herbal supplement for stress. 😂

Adrianoska · 16/03/2020 10:30

😭😭😭
I feel so negative...
My husband cried this morning in the bathroom when I told him. And both of us couldn't speak in the car on the way to work. Then I just cried at work.
It's only has been 4 cycles off TTC but I am so worried about my age... I had my 21cd bloods this morning too and I just cried at the poor nurse.
I really want that baby more than anything 😢❤️

paintfairy · 16/03/2020 10:24

@Adrianoska it won't be never. Although I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't a good time anyway if we'll not be allowed out soon! Nightmare. But when it's meant to be, it'll happen x

Bic501 · 16/03/2020 08:28

Morning everyone!

Haven't been on as I'm a nurse and work has been crazy as you might of guessed.
Congrats to all those with BFP's and to all those ladies still on the Bus 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.
This is my first month using opk. I used CB digital ones and got a static smiley face this morning. DTD last night and will tonight Aswell.
When do I count as I ovulated then tho? Today or tomorrow?
And I'm assuming I don't need to do anymore ov sticks?
Xx

Adrianoska · 16/03/2020 07:48

Yes. Yes. That's true... But I know I am not pregnant now, even though we did everything we could again... I am really upset. I can't explain. I am too sad.
Yes. It is my fourth cycle now 😭
What if never?
