The March 2017 Bus is waiting (impatiently!) in the station...

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?

mamabooks do you mean you DTD after ovulating?

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 06/03/2017 13:09

Yes megsmog we dtd two days after I had EWCM and the day after that too.

MegsMog · 06/03/2017 13:16

mamabooks in order to maximise your chances of getting pregnant you really want to be DTD just before ovulating, not afterwards Smile

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 06/03/2017 13:17

Haha thanks megsmog! Grin it just di happened that that was the day we decided to try again for baby number 2!

Foggymist · 06/03/2017 16:01

Ttcnovice if people made presumptuous remarks like that to me they wouldn't do it again!

QueenGiggles · 06/03/2017 16:36

Congrats to new bfp's! Sorry to hear of other who've said they're out!

I'm totally confused, got positive opk(CB digi) on cd12 and down to confusion with opks last month continued to do them and got another positive today cd19, so 2 months in a row I've had a positive twice in month!

ttcnovice · 06/03/2017 17:53

Foggy I'll have to bring you to any others I attend in future! I've been politely deflecting so far, but I must admit it's getting to the point that I might explode at the next comment Angry. I think people mean well but just really don't think before they speak!

Foggymist · 06/03/2017 18:19

Ttcnovice best things to say are:

  1. That's a very personal question don't you think?
  1. Why do you ask?
  1. My own mother wouldn't ask me that!

Turning the question back on them requests an answer, they won't have one and will realise how nosy and rude they're being.

MotherofUnicorns · 06/03/2017 20:24

i am out. 28days on the nose.
very sad.
i know it can take up to a year and this is really only the 4th month since my cycles have got regular.
still sad though.
I guess i am on the bus for a Christmas baby now......
I'll hang out here until people move on though as my next fertile week should be starting 17th ish march.
good luck to everyone else

WantToGoingTo · 06/03/2017 20:33

Fertile week starts today according to my app, though not convinced anything going on down there yet. And struggling with opks (see my previous post...). Argh. Wish bodies were easier to read! Doesn't help that me and dh are knackered all the time cos we are trying to sell and move house, i have massive commute and we already have a toddler... not as easy as last time that's for sure! Spa day on 17th so I hope I ovulate soon so that I can test on the day as my friends have jacuzzi and champagne planned eek

Usernamegone · 06/03/2017 20:40

Am torturing myself here hoping it may be my lucky month. Last cycle was 22 days so if my cycle is the same I would be 3 days late. However, my last few cycles have been 24/25 days. No bloating/cramping signs of AF yet but also a BFN.

Fingers crossed I don't wake up to AF in the morning x

WantToGoingTo · 06/03/2017 20:48

Oooooh sounds promising user! Have my fingers crossed for you

WantToGoingTo · 06/03/2017 20:48

Ooops I meant user

ttcnovice · 06/03/2017 20:48

Great advice thanks Foggy - I will definitely be using those next time!

Usernamegone · 06/03/2017 21:08

I'm keeping everything crossed here for everyone x

harrypotternerd · 06/03/2017 21:15

i am currently 3 days late for AF, my breasts are bigger and very sore. Had cramping for a few days but that seems to have stopped. Taken 2 tests both BFN. I think I may have to go to the doctor although my friend who is a midwife said some women don't get a positive test until they are at least a week late.

Thingymaboob · 06/03/2017 22:26

Bugger. AF is here 2 days early. So upset. It's currently very light but have known all day that it was looming as have been having my usual aches and pains. I'm not going to kid myself it's implantation! I know AF! Urgh.
Mother of unicorns - let's stay in touch

Itsjustaphase84 · 07/03/2017 08:00

@thingy sorry to hear. Ive cried my eyes out at the sight of af.Flowers I'm really anxious today. I've just ov but rather late but my anxiety feels like a lead weight. I hate all this TTC lark. Pisses me right off.

Thingymaboob · 07/03/2017 10:39

Itsjustaphase84 - thanks. I also cried at the sight of AF too. It's heavy now. I'm so frustrated. I really feel your pain! I hate it! I'm so sorry AF is here for you too!!

MotherofUnicorns · 07/03/2017 10:51

Hi thingy sorry but also glad not to be alone!
Yes, i guess we will be boarding the April bus together..... I am going to stay here for now though as psychologically starting another one is just too depressing. I am consoling myself that at least i can drink on my bday this month but also i thought i would be pg by this age and i don't want to leave it too much longer for #3 so time is ebbing away.....
urgh. AF comes with despondent thoughts as well which just don't help!
I'll keep checking in with everyone....

Cookie1831 · 07/03/2017 12:26

Sorry to everyone that evil AF got fingers crossed for the Easter bunny bringing lots of fertile eggs next month
I am day 4 of flashing smileys been wasting sticks testing twice a day and that smug little smiling face is seriously starting to get of my nerves!!!

pebble82 · 07/03/2017 20:44

I really hate ttc now! We've DTD every other day and sometimes every day since CD 12 (it's now CD19 and day before ovulation for me-stupid long cycles!!). So tonight DH declares he's tired and wants a break! On the MOST FERTILE DAY!!! From the man who for six years never stops nagging for sex! I hate the pressure. I hate being on a schedule and I hate hate hate waiting. I also hate people who ask if we're thinking about having a second child. I want to punch them in their stupid faces Sorry for the rant I just needed a moan.

pebble82 · 07/03/2017 20:55

Also I'm jealous of a pregnant giraffe on Secret Life of the Zoo. I've officially lost the plot

Itsjustaphase84 · 07/03/2017 20:58

@pebble. It's none of their fucking business is it. It really winds me up. Apparently half my family were convinced I'd be pregnant by now and they are literally dying to hear the baby bomb. Sometimes I like glugging on a great big fuck off glass of wine in front of them just to say
..there's your answer don't fucking ask me or even hint. Piss off. Also I wouldn't tell them until first scan anyway. Sorry to hear Pebble. Xx

Polly85 · 07/03/2017 21:07

I have nothing constructive to say...just sending hugs to @pebble82 and @Thingymaboob. Xxxx Flowers
