MrsNuckyT · 19/08/2015 14:59

Emilygremily · 19/08/2015 15:04

MrsNuckyT · 19/08/2015 16:04

Emily - I was 2 weeks last time and all BFNs, then AF just appeared. Wonder if I might have been pg for a little while then it failed?

Having said that I had no symptoms whatsoever with DC1, all the way through until I actually started to change shape I couldn't believe I was actually pregnant because I had no symptoms of any sort.

So you never know and I'll keep things crossed for you!

ToElle - welcome to the bus!

Emilygremily · 19/08/2015 16:06

Thank you i just would like to know either way that way if i am not i can move onto the next cycle or if i am i can make sure i am being as healthy as possible.

Been very chilled up to now this cycle we are going to give the SMEP a go and have splashed out on some CB digi ovulation tests thinking now I may have made a mistake and should of got a job lot but just didn't fancy the is this isn't this a line panic! Anybody else like the CB digi and can convince me I've not wasted my money :( x

ODog · 19/08/2015 21:46

Welcome toelle and belle. Found out today that 2 other girls in my nct group are TTC their second and one is already 3 cycles in. She fell pg first time with her DS so I feel like it could be a longer road for me too this time around. Hmm

Chat good to see you here. Hope you're well. Thanks

Hi there, can I jump on this bus too? Never been one one before!

Name: Shary
Age: 29
TTC: no. 1
Cycle: 5
ETD: I'm not that positive! Sad

Currently settled on 43 day cycles which is very frustrating. My GP is doing bloods this cycle, it should be in early September but I'm REALLY hoping to ovulate sooner. Saying that I'm not sure when my bloods should be done. I know it's day 21 for 28 day cycles so is the general rule 7 days before your period? Or 7 days post ovulation? I also suspect I have a shorter luteal phase which probably doesn't help!!

Hi everyone.
Hoping I can join Smile

Feeling very disheartened at the moment, I have been off the pill for 18 months now where we were waiting to see what happened with nothing and now have been ttc for around 5-6months with no luck.

Banana79 · 20/08/2015 22:32

Password resetting dramas...over! What a PITA! Hey buddy 3princes! FX for us both but I'm not feeling it this month. I think I ovulated a week ago (ewcm and feeling frisky) and nothing of either since. Fertility app thinks it should be tomorrow! Still no OPKs. When I hop on this bus properly in September I have vowed no more OPKs. They are driving me crazy!Angry

ChatEnOeuf · 21/08/2015 08:46

Thanks Birchy

Hi, Kitty lovely to see you too. I'm okay I think. Bit terrified (of conceiving or not managing to), but okay. Apart from the hormone-driven flood of tears that greeted this month's AF. Hope you're well too.

Shary I think D21 bloods should be done seven days post-ovulation, as they are designed to 'prove' you've ovulated...they're badly named.

birchygoo · 21/08/2015 09:42

Welcome newbies

Belle, I use the CBFM and I like it even though it does cost a lot of money! It takes the guess work out for me. I used cheapies once and I thought I was ovulating 7 days in a row Confused so next month I ditched those.

Shary, I concur with Chat - day 21 tests are to be completed 7 days after ovulation. So my Gp said to me that to have it done day21 and if it didnt show ovulation to come back and have it done a few days later again.

Banana I didn't use OPK's last month and it drove me nuts so I am using it again this month - I didnt like all the unanswered questions I had. Hope it goes better for you.

I got my peak today!! I DTD last night and if I DTD again tomorrow morning do you think that should be me covered?

Stats have been updated and link can be found on my initial post

Yeah chat, it's not easy ttc tbh. Knowing that if you do get that positive it's not going to be all joy and excitement doesn't make the stress easier.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 21/08/2015 18:33

Following fallout over here. Getting ready to test in about a week, but it's getting a bit lonely over on the summer bus...

Test date: 27 August

No real symptoms yet, although last night I asked the DH to check if my nipples were darker (apparently a possible sign). He was happy to oblige.

Vikkijayne2507 · 21/08/2015 21:02

Yeah birchy I think you're covered I conceived Ds I dtd night 3 days and night b4 my positive opk and 2 days later I think and i just put him to bed so it worked

SharyBobbins · 21/08/2015 21:29

Thanks Birchy & Chat Smile so if I get a positive ovulation test this cycle do you think I should call and change my bloods for 7 days after that? At the moment they're booked in based on a GP estimated date of what to do with a 43 day cycle person! He was like "normally it would be day 21 but with you...erm..."!

3Princes99 · 21/08/2015 23:07

Hi to all the newbies, we are a very friendly bus :)

Buddy Banana- I too have had a mare with opks this month! Think I may have missed ovulation or not ovulated at all. I must have done 15/20 opks with no definite positive, just have to wait and see now. No clue what dpo I might be?

RalucaMorena · 22/08/2015 15:31

Waves everybody!
Af is due on Monday so I hop on provisionally. I had a bfn yesterday at 12dpo so probably af shall come.
