March Bus - AF due March 11th

Hi everyone, hope it’s ok to join. I’m 34 and ttc #1 currently 5/6 dpo (not sure exactly which date I ovulated. My last period was my first since coming off the depo in November so this is our first official month trying!

Not sure exactly when my period is due but I thought I had ovulated almost bang on two weeks before my last period so I think I’m due around 12th March. The tww is killing me and I’m currently seeing symptoms everywhere and nowhere 🙈

@Missgoldilocks 😊 How are you getting on with holding out testing or do you plan on waiting until AF is due!? I can never seem hold out that long 🙊!

Heyyy @mrshrk good luck! I'm on official cycle 7 but been off copper coil 11 months! I'm 27 so we are close in age too :)

Hello ladies, hope it's ok hopping on board!

I'm 28 TTC #1 with my husband- cycle 10 for us.
AF due Saturday 14th, usually have a 27day cycle. Ov'd a little earlier than normal this month so projecting earlier AF too. I'm 4dpo today.
Feeling a little crampy today but I know it's way too early to start symp spotting!
Have my crossed for upcoming BFP's! 🤞

Sorry @Mumlife1 I ovulated 23rd Feb there abouts 🤦‍♀️not 28th!

@Mumlife1 hi :) I ovulated around 28th Feb but I'm due 8th March. Good luck to you x
I have no symptoms lol the same as the past months haha

Hi ladies! Hope it's okay if I join :) AF due on the 11th of March (36 day cycle 😩) expected ov around the 27th of feb, having lots of symptoms out of the norm for me so fingers crossed ! Sending good luck to you all too 😀

Oh no, I hope you've managed to relax a bit this evening and forget about work a little.

The place I work in is female dominant and so there's always someone announcing a pregnancy, a never ending list.

I have 0 symptoms but trying not to think about that too much. I like being able to chat with other women who are going through the same thing, it's not a topic you can just chat about with anyone is it 😔

@FlamingoG88 welcome! It is a really emotional and at times difficult experience, isn't it? Today I burst into tears when I got home from work, I think I'm so fed up of work and ready to go on maternity leave, the putting life on hold and waiting aspect is really hard. Then there's the 'not knowing' aspect and seeing everything as a possibly pregnancy symptom! How are you feeling?

Hello, can I join please?

AF due on Friday the 13th 🙄 regular cycles, usually 28 days.

I'm 31 TTC#1 with my husband, currently in the middle of cycle 4.

I didn't realise how emotional TTC would be.

@MamaPixie aw I'm sure they won't I won't have a probation luckily as although it's a different company they are part of the same group if you know what I mean?

Oh sorry, I was meaning an internet cheapie! Just the cheap pregnancy test sticks I get from amazon. Means I don't end up spending a fortune every month on tests 🙈

Edit - story, moving house

Back storey- I’m in middle of living house so I am currently doing a lot of glossing and repainting and heavy lifting... so dunno whether to test early or wait til af due on the 10th/11th or would glossing and heavy lifting not really have much of an impact this early on?

9dpo today... when are u other ladies trying a frer?

Hi @kerry842,

My cycles changed after my ectopic, they're now slightly longer and iv noticed cramping in the lead up to af.

I can tell the difference though, I think, as when I was pregnant the cramping was lower down compared to normal period cramping?

Not sure if that helps any but things didn't go back to the way they were before in my case anyway

Hello I'm due my af on Friday. I had a missed miscarriage in July and have been trying ever since took ages for my periods to come back.i have been having lots of cramp symptoms which last time ignored cause just thought it was normal but now I'm wondering was is connected to mis carriage or does any else get bad cramps I don't get cramps with my normal period so I do feel pregnant but just concerned about cramping.

Aw I'm due to start a new job on Monday too 😂

Iv definitely been symptom spotting!

Iv had a bit of red/brown spotting yesterday and the day before which was 5/6dpo for me, had cramping low down as well pretty much constantly... up until today, no sign of anything today 🙈

Will start testing with the IC's at the weekend which will be 10/11dpo by then, not getting my hopes up yet though🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Orangepeel105 sounds like a good plan :) just take each day as it comes! It's hard to stop thinking about future months though like should I book that holiday etc!!

@Pink15 exactly! Think I'm just ready to accept it could take a while and try to focus on other enjoyable things in life! It's just difficult though with the reminder of taking the vitamins every day and not drinking etc. and being unsure of plans over the next few months! Lots of uncertainty but my strategy is to try to keep focusing on the nice day to day things instead of worrying about the bigger picture.

@Orangepeel105 Welcome! I totally know what you mean about feeling frustrated but glad you're feeling more relaxed! I try and reassure myself that a lot of people get pregnant by 'accident' so not sure how much evidence all this over thinking and planning does .... doesn't mean I won't stop though haha

Hi all! I'm joining the March bus, also due on on the 11th. I'm 34 and my partner is 40 and this is our second month of TTC. I had a bit of a meltdown about it all on Friday, I didn't realise how quickly it can get frustrating trying to have sex at the right times etc.! Feeling a bit more relaxed about it now, fingers crossed for us all!

Thanks @MamaPixie hen do is the 7th...AF due 6th or 7th, so hopefully I will know either way by then! Fingers crossed for declining wine at dinner 🤞🍷

Thanks @MamaPixie 😊 I haven't heard of that book, I'll definitely need to go and look it up.
Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle 🤞🏻
