I couldn't see a March bus yet so I thought I'd get it going for all us early birds Grin

Here are my stats:

Age: 22
TTC: #2
BFP due: March 3rd

It's technically cycle 3 but we took last month off after cycle 1 resulted in chemical pregnancy :( so I'm eager to get on with it Grin

Anyone else joining me nice and ridiculously early on the March bus?

Supposed to read most people...my phone is just make words up now

Motherhippy16 · 25/02/2017 17:54

Thingyma I'm exactly the same! Horny as anything and my dh def knows that I'm in fw as I can't put him down. Think he's glad when the fw is over so he can have a break!

Hi Ladies

I'm hopping onto March bus if that's ok as I'm due to test in March if af doesn't show up. Currently on Feb bus but it's slowed riggghht down!

Anyways, I got pos opk last Sunday 19th and also temping this month and plotting it onto fertility friend app. According to that app I am 4 DPO today which I guess seems about right!?!

Symptom wise - slightly sore boobs and quite tired. Had chem pg last month with these symptoms too but also get them with af so not really a good indicator of anything for me!

Going to hold out of af doesn't show up and test dh bday 15 th March if I can. Also, only Dtd day of first pos opk and I was oh so Ill Sad

Hope your all well and wishing you all luck and baby dust Flowers xx

Foggymist · 25/02/2017 18:46

I'm on CD13, ov is supposed to be in two days. I've used opks this month for the first time, more to be doing something than anything else as I have conceived twice previously just using FW info on apps from inputting my cycle info. So I've used them the last 3 days as instructed, got a verrry faint positive yesterday and gone today, shouldn't they be a bit clearer than that by now?

Foggymist · 25/02/2017 18:50

Addtothechaos I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle too and am testing on 15th of March, cycle twins!!

user1488044049 · 25/02/2017 19:41

Hello!
I am on my first cycle after waiting a year since trying last year and taking a break.

I'm on cycle day 17 and just did once today which is the last day of the fertile window so not thinking this will be the month just yet Smile

I'm super excited to be back on the ttc journey.
Next period is due on the 9th March

Addtothechaos · 25/02/2017 21:00

Ohh foggy good luck! And how nice to have a cycle twin ! Hopefully we can become bump buddies next month too 😂Grin fx!
Also, sorry to hear about your chem pg Sad I was 'pregnant' for a whole 3 days after bfp then started bleeding like a period but a little strange. Have you got any dc already? I have 2 and fell pg quite quickly with them but I'm aware that may have been just pure luck and have no bearing on ttc successfully this time! X

Foggymist · 25/02/2017 21:23

I was "pregnant" for 2 hours, af was two days late (never late), got bfp, told dh. We celebrated, had the exciting first chats, calculated edd, and then an hour later I started bleeding. I know it's better really that it didn't go on longer but it was all a bit surreal and the joy was just snatched, at lunch I was pregnant and at dinner it was ending.

Anyways, it's done now. Yes I have 1 dc, 2years old. Got pregnant first month with him, the chemical pregnancy was the only other week we've had unprotected sex ever, but I doubt this luck will hit a third time.

Itsjustaphase84 · 25/02/2017 22:46

So sorry Foggy. That's such an emotional roller coast for you. How long have you been trying for? Flowers xx

Foggymist · 25/02/2017 22:50

Thanks Itsa, it was our first month trying for #2 so between that and it being such an early chemical pregnancy (we didn't know for days/weeks and I didn't have much pain) I know I'm very lucky so far, I really haven't experienced much ttc at all!

Itsjustaphase84 · 25/02/2017 22:55

I'm cycle 4 ttc2. I got pregnant a lot quicker with DC1. Fingers crossed for you. Apparently it takes 9 months on average to conceive Angry. Keep hanging on there x

Addtothechaos · 26/02/2017 07:26

It's so hard isn't it foggy even though the actual process wasn't physically painful for me it's all the hope and plans that come with seeing the bfp! But yes I also quickly got into the frame of mind of onwards and upwards. I think having dc already help as they keep you busy don't they!

Hopefully we are in for some luck in a couple of weeks! X

harrypotternerd · 26/02/2017 11:41

Im 10 dpo and symtom spotting like mad

QueenGiggles · 26/02/2017 11:49

Cheese I 2nd getting some cheap opks to use along side CB!

I had a chemical pregnancy after MC! It's a weird and horrible emotional state and tbh I think it'd make me question any future bfp's at 1st

FlipKat · 26/02/2017 13:22

I agree - I started off using the Clear Blue dual hormone OPKs but as you say they are bloody expensive. So switched to internet cheapies - One Step sticks. I think I got 50 sticks for £9 and they seem to work well

FlipKat · 26/02/2017 13:29

^ oops, that post was in response to a previous question but didn't click send. Anyway, very excited to join the March bus!

TTC 1
Cycle 1
1 dpo

Had my first peak on OPK on Friday so having a busy few days DTD. I know it is silly but I have this thought in my head I'm going to conceive first try off the pill. I know I'm going to be disappointed but can't help but be hopeful!

DeeM123 · 26/02/2017 20:33

harry I am 7dpo and symptom spotting like crazy, this is my first cycle ttc. I have convinced myself that I am pregnant, I going to test on wed 1st March, AF is due on the 7th

Polly85 · 26/02/2017 21:54

Hi everyone, just joined MN because we just started TTC for the first time ever today...I was planning to wait until next month until I'd list some weight, because I have a few concerns about being quite big and TTC...but we decided today that we didn't want to wait any more Grinthink i obv today or tomo so missed most of the window, but still feeling ridiculously hopeful. Was supposed to do loads of marking today (I'm a teacher) but spent the day on the sofa watching 'the great sperm race'. Really need to calm down...this is going to be a long 2 weeks. Polly x

Polly85 · 26/02/2017 22:04

@thingamaboob sorry to butt in, but the thing that you mentioned about randyness on ov day, I think I have that now. Is it a common thing? I'm quite new to all this Blush debating jumping on DH when he comes to bed in 5 mins, but he looks a bit shell shocked at all this sudden shagging. I feel like I am getting twinges in my right ovary too, but that could also just be in my head.

Thingymaboob · 26/02/2017 22:35

Hi Polly- I get very very horny. I have heard it is common. You mention you're worried about your weight. I too am worried about mine. Been doing slimming world these last 2 months. My BMI is 31. I teach in a hospital and I occasionally teach midwives. I mentioned to them about it and they were very reassuring. Will continue with SW throughout pregnancy.

Foggymist · 26/02/2017 23:32

Horniness at ovulation makes perfect sense from a biological/reproduction point of view.

lightgreenglass · 27/02/2017 08:51

1 day till AF is due! I feel I might go mad over the next 24 hours. I've been trying not to symptom spot and I seem to have switched to symptom spotting for AF.

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 27/02/2017 08:54

Hi ladies, can I join you? I am 3dpo Ttc no 2 Smile cycle 1! Anyone else testing around 9th March?

Thingymaboob · 27/02/2017 12:49

I'm testing on the 8th!

MissMango100 · 27/02/2017 13:13

Well, I fell off the bus before it even got out of the station! AF arrived 2 days early instead of 1st March Sad.

Having said that, I'm now getting straight back on it, as next AF will be due around 27th March.

Today sucks! Good luck everyone else.
