Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will! Smile

WriterWannabe83 Thanks - here's my info:

Age: 31.

Plan to start trying to conceive in June (but have been a little less careful than usual lately so maybe should say we sort of started in May!)

First pregnancy attempt!

I'm really confused by Ovia and getting a bit obsessed! Can anyone advise?

Since Feb, the gaps between periods has ranged from 3 to 4 weeks, and the period has consistently been 4 or 5 days long. However, I had a weirdly long period at beginning of May (it arrived 3 weeks after previous one, and lasted 9 days). So according to Ovia I am due a period today but tests today, yesterday and day before are all negative.

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 13:02

thepartyartist I use Ovia, it's probably synced your cycle to your previous abnormal period and it's throwing it off. If you keep inputting data showing you haven't yet it should revert back. A similar thing happened to me this month with odd periods so it's brought my FW forward but as soon as I entered yesterday and today's data it's started to move it back again. Not sure if that's any help?

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 13:04

Bertie Yay! Merry BDing! I've been tracking my BBT, sometimes it's all over the place but it seems to be evening out a bit. Fingers crossed that with that, OPKs and CM I should be on target this month!

babydances · 30/05/2016 14:40

I'm loosing track, when is everyone due to test? I have 10 more days Shock

MrsGsnow18 · 30/05/2016 14:42

Welcome BusyNothings!

I really have to find a way to distract myself from constantly thinking about ttc!

babydances · 30/05/2016 14:49

Me too mrsgsnow all I can think now for the last two months is about having a baby! I even keep meandering around the baby aisles and around mothercare checking out Oran's pmsl! Blush

Please say I'm not the only one?

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:11

*prams

MrsGsnow18 · 30/05/2016 15:24

Hi and welcome autumsunshinebaby

babydances you are not alone!
Yesterday I spent an hour mothercare's website Blush I have been watched video reviews of prams!

Oh and just in case that didn't seem crazy enough, I made a secret Pinterest board of the baby items I liked Blush
Seems like I'll have a lot of saving to do!!

SophieBear13 · 30/05/2016 15:24

babydances You are not alone! I have a very full secret nursery Pinterest board... I'm also rather obsessed with marks and spencer baby clothes. So cute.

BusyNothings · 30/05/2016 15:32

Babydances you are definitely not alone. My mum has been putting together a baby box with all sorts in it for months and I've been secretly adding things to it that I've found myself. Only just starting TTC I've also stocked up on baby books but I am seriously avoiding Pinterest after the obsession that I had during my wedding planning

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:37

Thanks everyone Grin please remind me are you ttc 1st or is this 2nd/3rd?

BusyNothings · 30/05/2016 15:52

Babydances I am about to start ttc cycle 1 for first dc. Very exciting.

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:52

welcome to all the new peeps joining the bus btw
It's all getting abit exciting 🙈

babydances · 30/05/2016 15:53

We currently live in a two bed so no room for a nursery. We are planning on having lo in our room and then move once it is ready for its own room. We don't have tons of money £40,000 between us a year so making the best of what we have. We didn't keep dc things as she's 6 now and didn't imagine we would have another Grin

BeBopTalulah · 30/05/2016 16:10

May I join you?

Age: 29
TTC: no. 1
Cycle: 1
ETD: 4th June

I also have PCOS (although doctors seem unable to agree on that). I believe I ovulated around the 21st and DTD. However, haven't been tracking religiously or DTD every other day etc. A bit half-arsed about it as my mum would say Grin Was very relaxed about it, until I hit 7dpo and immediately wanted to know what's happening. I'm 9dpo now and have had some weird things going on. Resisting the urge to google, and I'm satisfied that any symptoms right now are imagined!

ThePartyArtist · 30/05/2016 16:17

Sophiebear13 Thanks for the tip about Ovia. It's expecting a 4 week gap between the last period and next one, which is in line with the 3 'normal' months and ignores the strange blip of short gap + long period. However still not period and I am getting obsessed with peeing on sticks!

auberginefrog · 30/05/2016 16:17

Thanks writer and mrsG

Writer that sounds exactly like the implantation bleed that I got with DD - fingers crossed for you!

Laura05 · 30/05/2016 16:19

When is everyone testing? AF is due at some point this week so don't know whether to be super good and wait till Saturday

babydances · 30/05/2016 16:20

I took a snapshot to remind myself who is due to test when to add to the occasion of poas! Haha
We have a few ladies due to test, let us know how you get on. Hoping for lots of BFP!
Photo is snapshot of who is testing this week from barefoots table

June Bus anyone?!
Writerwannabe83 · 30/05/2016 16:26

auberginefrog - that's given me a new lease of hope Grin

I am also now convinced my boobs look a bit bigger. I asked DH what he thought but he didn't think they did. I then quickly changed the topic of conversation though so he doesn't suspect that I could be pregnant Grin

I'm 9dpo tomorrow and with both my previous pregnancies I'd had my BFP by then....

I'm actually resisting the urge to test now..... Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 30/05/2016 16:38

I've just caught my toddler drinking tap water out of my pee pot Grin Grin

Sunshineface123 · 30/05/2016 17:26

Ooh writer how can you resist!?! I've got 11 days according to ovia, usually come on my period few days before that tho. Fingers crossed not this month!

babydances · 30/05/2016 18:49

cervix question
My cervix has been open and high and deffo soft for over a week, am I going made as I believe I ovulated Thursday as that's when I got what looked like EWCM.
thoughts?

Writerwannabe83 · 30/05/2016 19:20

I tested but it was a BFN shock horror

Tomorrow I will test with 9dpo and FMU and see what that brings. If I don't have a BFP by Wednesday morning then I'm counting myself out.

I did have a tiny bit more orange/brown blood on the tissue paper though about an hour ago when I wiped after a wee.
