Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd yeah it's a private school up to 13 but I've been in private since I moved down to London and this is the first place with grounds. Salary is the worst I've had for a long while though! 🤣 But it does make a big difference to come here when it's beautiful. I like seeing the seasons change here. There's a beautiful walkway to the local church and it's lines with daffodils. The boys have no idea how lucky they are!

I'm 11dpo and I feel as rough as a badger's arse. There was pink last night and I swear I've been going to the loo extra times just to see if she's there. I've got approximately a million of those cheap tests but they're a bit useless. Negatives again today. Expecting AF any second. No hopes being raised because it's too hard to have them dashed every time.

Got my OvuSense in the basket, just waiting until full flow to click purchase!

@katieloola that's exciting news that there might have been a line! Take a photo! Excited for you and 🤞🤞🤞[/quote]
What's the Ovusense like? Is it worth a buy? Your school sound absolutely beautiful I love seeing the seasons change too spring is my favourite time of year when the blossom starts to fall off the trees :') I also like looking at snowdrops I was on about this last night if there's possibility of growing snowdrops in my garden but I wouldn't say I'm a dab hand at gardening one bit to keep anything going 😂🙈

How are you getting on this morning sweet? were you early this time last month than expected? It's such an nervy time when you get closer to AF or BFP because you never know which it's gonna end up being, I really do hope AF stays at bay and this is your month I'm on cd18 today so hoping to see some rising OPK for a long weekend of baby dancing for my birthday tomorrow🙌🏻🌈🙈❤️

Haven’t tested today, I’m going to leave it till Sunday. Looked at the old one and swear I saw an extremely light line but it’s probably just an evaporation line... or my imagination. Will see in the next few days 🤞🏻[/quote]
I can see a line in your CB! The same happened to me last month using the exact same test and it ended up for a EVAP for me and AF came the day after fingers and toes crossed you get a good result this morning 🤞🏻🌈

CycloGoose · 10/03/2021 20:11

Ohhhh I've got so much hope for you lovely lady xxxxxx @KatieLooLa

KatieLooLa · 10/03/2021 20:06

@lucea87 😂 I can imagine the support groups!
@CycloGoose about a year but that said we skipped a couple months though so probably more like 6 months in all of activity trying
@minthumbugs I’ve been trying not to do any but I caved

minthumbugs · 10/03/2021 19:52

Lol, at least there's always POAS support groups on mumsnet! Before my last pregnancy I refused to allow myself to buy any tests. When I started to get an inkling I ordered a test online and waited a whole week for it to be delivered before I found out! That week was something else. X

CycloGoose · 10/03/2021 19:35

How long have you been trying @KatieLooLa ? Glad you have some sticks to keep you going!
I almost caved and bought an expensive test but I think I'll know tomorrow if this is AF so I may as well wait and see.
12dpo tomorrow supposed to be a pretty good test day!

lucea87 · 10/03/2021 19:20

[quote KatieLooLa]@Iloveoreos fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Would be nice after trying for so long. I’m having to isolate at the moment as someone from work got a positive covid test. Thankfully when I bought that test I also got a pack of 2 cheapy tests also the digital Clearblue ones that say how far along. Think I may have a pregnancy test strip from the OPK pack. 😂 Starting to think I may have an addiction[/quote]
POAS should be recognised as an addiction for sure 😂😂

@KatieLooLa i can definately see a faint line..🥰🥰

lucea87 · 10/03/2021 17:03

[quote KatieLooLa]@lucea87 Took photo a minute or so before posting but the test is hours (almost a day) old so could just be an evaporation line x[/quote]
Ah ok, maybe, think the blue ones are notorious for evaps but if still no AF you're definitely not out!

lucea87 · 10/03/2021 16:20

@KatieLooLa I can see the faintest line! It's certainly not white! When did you take the photo?xxx

KatieLooLa · 10/03/2021 16:18

@CycloGoose it’s bit hard to tell either way 😂
Spotting not bad sign, not out till AF sings! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

CycloGoose · 10/03/2021 15:17

@KatieLooLa I took a screen shot and put it so it's a negative image for you and I swear I can see it for you!

TTC February/March
CycloGoose · 10/03/2021 15:13

I feel I look one way and I can see it and then the other way I can't. Time will tell!!

I'm still spotting so guessing I'm out 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not full AF so on tenterhooks for the remainder of the TWW

KatieLooLa · 10/03/2021 14:54

@lucea87 Thank you! Good luck with baby dancing 😉 x

KatieLooLa · 10/03/2021 14:52

@CycloGoose can hardly see anything on photo, making me out to be a liar 😂
Could’ve been my imagination x

lucea87 · 10/03/2021 14:27

@CycloGoose & @KatieLooLa I've got my whole body (except legs, obvs 😉) crossed for you both this month. I've got good feelings.

No change to my date today, it's stayed at yesterday. My temp hasn't really changed but I'm crap at that 😂 cervix still high, soft & open and EWCM still today so hoping that's a good sign and we can catch tonight too 🤞🏼

I've got good feelings girls!!

CycloGoose · 10/03/2021 10:36

Though... Saying not getting hopes up but heard 5ive 'keep on moving' this morning which, not only connects me to @lucea87 as early 00ies pop but has the line 'all the bees and birds are flying' about 100 times. Signs 'R' us.

Oh yeah I forgot to say happened to me too. Changed because one temp it didn't like.

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd literally every time I go to the loo I'm expecting to see AF because she was so early last month. So far so good. I tested this morning with the cheapies and obviously negative. I think I've got about 50 so I'll probably just test with those until AF. I'd rather spend the money on making the pregnancy happen rather than checking if it has!

It's totally full on being back with the kids. Literally my first break now since 8am. But duty was outside today and it's glorious sunshine here. The grounds are absolutely stunning, too. I can see why parents would pay to send their boys here. It's a real idyll.

Definitely don't need any more readings! Yours are lovely. I liked the future children one. I was totally convinced we'd have boys though.

@lucea87 Rambo will be gorgeous I'm sure! I'm hoping to try to convince DH we can get a dog once I'm not working but the cost of them 🥺 Not sure he'll go for it. Maybe I can register to be a doggy daycare and just get a bit of money for looking after someone else's pooch during the day!

@KatieLooLa still in the game though!

@Sallyjo27 really glad to hear from you. Everything crossed that your baby sticks this time xxx[/quote]
@CycloGoose isit like a private school you work at? I think if I recall back my school views was portacabins which were meant to be temporary but was there through the time I was there😂🙈 how are you feeling today lovely, are you around 9/10DPO now? I hate the build up to the AF for the symptoms and dreading every time I wipe to see spotting because I know that she'll be ready to pounce at any moment, got to have a good stash of cheapies! I've got about 30 upstairs because they came with my OPK strips :')

kaylsd · 10/03/2021 08:28

That is like the sweetest thing ever I could only wish for my pooch to take on the same role of the playful play pal for them 🤞🏻❤️🌈 @minthumbugs

kaylsd · 10/03/2021 08:27

@KatieLooLa

I bit the bullet and bought an ultra early Clearblue pregnancy test.... sadly it’s negative. That said though I was so eager to test I didn’t use first morning urine so I’ve most likely pissed money away (literally!) I’m such an idiot 😔
It's the curse of the TWW you aren't out until AF shows sweetheart the urge to test is the biggest battle I think because I've got a draw full of tests upstairs in the bathroom which looks like I've got peeing on a stick issues 😂🙈 did you retest this morning? Xx
