Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

@MgW1 Sorry to hear about your two miscarriages 😔. I don’t know what we’re doing wrong. I consider us both fairly young (I’m 28 and DP is 30) we’re both extremely fit and active and my periods have always been regular. A bit stumped if I’m entirely honest! Xx

@sunshineandshowers3
Since end of last March. Had 2 miscarriages since then. We have 2 children but were a lot younger then and no probs conceiving. Conceived after second month of trying in March... I think exercise is the way forward. My husband has stopped playing football and has an office job and put on at least 1 stone or more this year. So ... he has started running now.. increases sperm count and mortality apparently and i am out walking every day ... i really think it will help things. Xx

Hi @MgW1 sorry to hear you think you’re out too 😔. How long have you been ttc? I have tried those but unfortunately they didn’t make a difference. I don’t use OPK’s anymore. I found them quite expensive and stressful. We’ve gone by the ‘DTD every other day’ for the past few months and this has been the first month we’ve used preseed. Obviously hasn’t been successful, but I will use it again next month xx

I think im out too. Done less sensitive test and BFN! I have learnt previously that it can happen where something tries to stick and it doesnt and thats the prob with early testing..... been driving myself mad for another month 😂 Anyway, anyone tried these advanced opk sticks ? Plan next month is to do more exercise and dtd every day for 5 days so thought id try these because they give a good window ? Xx

Thank you @dunkedbiscuit - I was so convinced this month. In an odd way I reckon the month we finally do conceive I’ll be one of the ones that has absolutely no symptoms. We’re not really big VD people but will probably go for a walk somewhere a bit later. All I want to do is lay in bed and cry though, but I know that ultimately that won’t help.

Thank you for your kind words. How long have you been ttc? It’s just such torture every month xxx

Sending you love @sunshineandshowers3 it’s such a soccer punch when all the signs seem to be there 😕 be gentle with yourself. Have you got any nice v day plans to make today brighter? x

Sorry everyone but I just feel so utterly down this morning. I’ve had some spotting since Wednesday that has been intermittent. Very light pink and only really when I wipe/a very small amount on my pants. My boobs have felt much bigger and heavier too. Due AF tomorrow but I couldn’t help myself and tested today. CB early and it was a huge BFN. Surely this means I am out? If they’re meant to detect from 6 days before and this is 1 day, it’s got to be right?

Feel so utterly deflated. Onto cycle 11 we go...

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking you’ve done well to get to 24hrs before getting fed up! My husband is just so pathetic when he is ill with anything, drives me up the wall. I hope your DH gets better soon!

I’m in the TWW now, sounds like there’s a few of us? It’s my little boys birthday Weds (turning 2) so trying to keep myself occupied with that, not that we can do much really but there’ll be cake & balloons so he’ll be delighted!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I dont think it will lead to anything but thank you , i had a faint line last month, its frustrating but il try to be positive as time for something to materialise. Hope you are well , iv been out walking today ( nothing else to do 😂) got a 'love sausage ( 🤣) ' from m&s , having a cooked breakfast in the morning for valentines and i am looking forward to it, my husband has a few days off work now which is nice xx

@PeanuttyButter
Thank you -
Been here before , just expected darker line, we will see , just feel like i am going to get my period! I wont get my hopes up. Xx

Keeping everything crossed for you @MgW1 does look very promising. Sorry to all those with BFN, we carry on xx

@MgW1 are you gonna test again tomorrow?

It's deffo positive though I'll be keeping all my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Its just so faint , i am not hopeful of leading anywhere as AF due tomorrow but you never know , gotta keep positive xx

@MgW1 yes!! That looks promising!!

AF due today here and nothing yet but got a BFN on a Clear Blue digital so that's pretty conclusive. Just want AF to arrive now so I can get on with the next cycle 😞

AHHHH @MgW1 that's deffo a line! Huge congratulations!! So pleased for you 😊😊

@Clapham4 I'm 2DPO today too 😊 I'll be your 2WW buddy 😂 I almost relax a bit more in the 2ww knowing what's done is done and I can't do anymore! AF due on 25th, going to try soooo hard not to test unless I'm late 🤞🤞

Hey ladies, can I join please 😊 should be 1dpo based on opks and femometer app but had ovulation pain for a good few days now. Does anyone else's twinges carry on for a few days after their LH peak and drop? Going to keep doing the BD next couple of days incase I'm one of those nearer to the end of the 48 hours after the peak for ovulation and its actually just happening 🤷‍♀️ I'm 34 been trying on and off for over 1.5 years, with a few 68 day cycles thrown in and 34-40 day cycles giving me less chances in this time frame.

@MgW1 that's definitely a good line!! Congratulations!!

AF has arrived so onto cycle 16!

Going to have a drink tonight!!

Congrats @MgW1 !! That doesn’t look that faint too me💕 it’s a definite line!

A bit TMI from me, but had some CM last night, a faint amount but now worried it was EWCM even though I had my clearblue LH peak on Monday, DTD Sat 6th through to Wednesday 10th and took a break the last 2 days.
Can you ovulate 5 days after a LH peak?

Morning ladies Got super faint squinter line ( but i did 8dpo and then 2 days of negative ) this morning and last night on a different cheap brand. 12dpo , it will either get darker or AF will arrive tomorrow or monday the latter being the more likeliest. Although i have read that the most viable of eggs implant on days 8,9 or 10 so a faint positive on 10dpo - 12 dpo are good signs so got my fingers crossed here.

@Twittwoo2020 so sorry for your loss, it must have been such a difficult time. ps I'm in Ireland too I live in cork 😊

After 10 days of flashing smileys I finally got my peak today and some ewcm this eve so I'm so relieved I honestly thought I wasn't gonna ovulate this cycle.

Wow @Twittwoo2020 that is awful. Must have been so hard go through, you poor thing. (Btw I’m Irish too💚, from Cork, living in London)

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking really feel for you that you’ve so many friends due in April!! That’s hard. Fingers and toes crossed for you it happens very soon 🤞🏼💕

I’m starting to think of TTC / getting preg is like an earthquake, the longer you go without one the likelier it is to happen soon... ridiculous I know but it’s sort of helping 🙈

2dpo today! Anyone else feel like they wish their lives away in the 2ww?? I’m so glad every day that passes is a day closer to knowing either way. I imagine not being in lockdown would be such a nice distraction for us all xx

@Twittwoo2020 oh that’s such a heartbreaking story for you lovely I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s something that’s hardly talked about but is important to know and watch out for.

I’m glad they saved your tube and good to know you’ll be closely monitored in future. Love and best wishes xx thank you again for sharing - it’s so good to share awareness xx
