This is cycle #3 TTC for me. I really hoping this will be my month. Who's with me?

A small happy dance from me. 2 of my 3 stressors are sorted.

  1. My parents have new carers in place from next week after the month of awfulness
  1. MrVan has been offered the job he interviewed for today - more money, better work/life balance, better prospects

FX good things come in threes and I get my BFP this month

Vap0 · 08/06/2015 17:15

Carrot great news! Fingers crossed for the 3rd bit of good news Grin

weechops · 08/06/2015 19:22

carrot that's good news! Re testing, I think if you count cd1 as the start of mc (so sorry lovely) then today would be cd28 if you have an average cycle. You could test tomorrow

CarrotVan · 08/06/2015 19:31

That would only be 9 dpo though which feels too early.

Itsme247 · 08/06/2015 19:51

Sounds like lots to be feeling positive about carrot! Fingers crossed!

I have a question RE: OPK's - this is my first month doing them. I'm on CD 13 (I have two apps and one says I OV on CD 14 and one on CD 16) and yesterday I had a pretty strong line on the opk but not quite as dark as the control line and then today there was barely any line at all! Does that mean I ovulated yesterday??

louwn · 08/06/2015 19:56

My boss has just had her baby and posted a pic on facebook - totally gorgeous and gave me a huge wave of broodiness, again. Can't wait to have one of my own though...so impatient!

weechops · 08/06/2015 20:04

carrot oops I thought that made you 10dpo. Maybe test Wednesday then. I've always been lucky enough to see a faint bfp (when I was pg) on 10 dpo. But as always, it's not over til af rears her ugly head, so don't lose heart.

Itsme depending on when you poas in the day, you could have maybe missed the lh surge which made the line as dark as the control line. It sounds like that was your surge. The opk tells you you are about to ov, so it could be happening anytime. Go jump on that man Grin

Iouwn I know how you feel with the broodiness! Can't wait to have a squishy newborn again Smile

Itsme247 · 08/06/2015 20:11

I'll test for a couple of days just to be sure it wasn't a duff one, oh I really really hope this is the month!

Mrs1986 · 08/06/2015 20:31

Wowee lots of messages for me to catch up on. Happy Monday everyone!
Now on cd10 so the fun part begins this week! We've got a friend's wedding on the weekend and according to my apps the day of the wedding (Sunday) is my peak day! Xx

FlatWhiteToGo · 08/06/2015 20:46

Hello everyone Smile.

Itsme and Suz - that's so rude about your aunts and neighbour! What is wrong with people? If there even a bit curious then why not have enough self-restraint to keep your gob shut for 5 minutes? I've had a lot of speculation too lately and it really just adds to the misery Sad.

Vap - tbh I'm trying to avoid the internet. It's only caused me grief and upset over the past few months. That's good that you've got another consultant appointment. Do you know what the next steps are? At least this keeps the ball moving. It's not very helpful for the doc to say about the 3 months - it puts so much pressure on you.

Sarah - sorry about the BFN. Hopefully it's just too early. Keep us posted!

Carlton - glad I'm not alone in the non-existent period! ha ha. That also gives me some hope (which I'm rapidly running out of right now). How are you feeling? You must be so thrilled! It's so lovely of you to stay on this bus and chat to us and take an interest Smile.

Rach - I'm sending you the biggest hug. It really sounds like you're having a rotten time. It feels like all these things come at one, and I'm sure they all feed into each other (the not getting pregnant; the depression; the weight gain etc). You're certainly not alone in all of this. I am going through exactly the same thing, and I'm sure a number of the other girls on this bus alone will also relate to what you're saying. It's also sooooo awful when you're convinced you're pregnant and you're not, so you really have my sympathy for that too. On the plus side, with other things being ruled out, you're only getting closer to finding out what may be stopping you getting pregnant. Once you can (hopefully) find this out, then they can do something to sort it out. Just stay positive hun.! As for the christening, have you not noticed that the minute you get broody there are babies and bumps EVERYWHERE. Like, WTF? It is honestly beyond a joke.

Carrot - that's fab news! Congratulations to Mr Van!

Sarah563 · 08/06/2015 21:21

had blood test on 7dpo (day 21) to check my hormones were doing the right thing. Progesterone levels showed that I ovulated - super news. HCG levels were

Carltonlives · 08/06/2015 21:39

Ah thanks flatwhite! I just can't wait for you all to come over to antenatal!

I'm feeling fine, thanks! A few stretchy sensations in my tummy but no other symptoms so far Grin

Glad everyone seems well Smile

pingoose · 08/06/2015 23:00

CD35 over here, BFNs and still no AF :( I will be so glad to have normal cycles again! Anyone else waiting for their cycle to sort itself out after the pill?

Rachelc82 · 08/06/2015 23:46

Thank you flatwhite I needed that hug. Yes that is why I like coming on mn nobody can understand unless they are going through it them selves, and yes babies and bumps everywhere so annoying.
I guess it's the same as everyone else, you get good days where very positive about TTC then bad days where it really gets to you. Helps to have others to talk to about it on here.

CarrotVan · 09/06/2015 09:24

All crampy, bloated and feeling weird here. Ugh

Sarah563 · 09/06/2015 12:19

Carrot that could be a sign?! Apart from painful boobs I feel no different. I actually feel like I normally do pre AF. Fx for testing later this week. Hope I can be strong and wait out.

Itsme247 · 09/06/2015 15:26

The dreaded tww... When can you test Carrot? I think I officially ovulated yesterday - had the temp spike this morning. Because i am clearly a bit of a POAS addict, when is the earliest you can test?

CarrotVan · 09/06/2015 18:36

I'm not testing until Friday although I wouldn't be surprised if I get AF before then. I've got that low, slightly crampy pressure feeling and creamy cm so feel quite AF-ish

FlatWhiteToGo · 09/06/2015 19:17

Rach - there are plenty more hugs if you need them! This is such a sh*tty, all-consuming process. I really hope it's better news for you, and everyone else, next month.

AF is definitely coming tomorrow or the day after. I have that sinking, pulling feeling in my pelvis/lower tummy Sad. For some bizarre reason I always feel really really weak about 2 days before AF comes and I find I need to take iron supplements just to function. Given everything over the past few weeks (with the suspected endo) I don't feel as awful as I usually do. I still feel a little bit teary though as I started trying just after one of my best friends started trying, and she is now due to give birth in less than a month. I've also been baby bombed on Facebook twice this week alone (and it's only Tuesday!). MUST STAY POSITIVE!!!x x x

CarrotVan · 09/06/2015 19:30

I'm consoling myself that if this is not my month but next month is then there will be an exactly 3 yr age gap.

People who use opks - I'm getting a faint line on an opk, what's with that?

weechops · 09/06/2015 19:42

carrot there's always at least a faint line on an opk as the hormone is always present in your body. It gets darker leading up to the surge then gets lighter again. I have my fingers firmly crossed for you for Friday!

Vap0 · 09/06/2015 21:21

carrot I've had more than 150 opks without even a hint of a line so it doesn't show all the time for everyone. Only had 2 positives so far and only about 8 semi lines. Where are you in your cycle? You may just be one of the people who always have a line all month?

3Princes99 · 09/06/2015 22:21

Hi Ladies! I'm 7dpo tomorrow and I'm off to Alton towers on Friday with 5 friends. I'll be 9dpo so to early to test. What would you do regarding rides etc. I've always gone on everything so will look very suspicious if I don't this time. Advise please ??

Vap0 · 09/06/2015 22:35

princes I'd just steer clear of the smiler if I was you Hmm

Rachelc82 · 09/06/2015 22:51

Lol vap ??
