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?

Day 5 off the pill today and I'm bleeding, having hot flushes, have a spotty chin and a headache. My body is wasting no time splashing the hormones around, which is sort of reassuring.

MrsC2017 · 08/02/2017 10:09

chocolateraisin sounds like you have been through alot and it's very normal to be apprehensive about the whole thing, saying it to your DH probably make it very real!
oyster glad your hormones are working themselves out lovely xx
Last day if AF thank God..... And now we wait I guess, fertile week is late next week and next weekend

ChocolateRaisin · 08/02/2017 11:39

Hi Stef- so sorry to hear of your loss as well, that must have been awful. Fingers crossed for all of us.

MrsC- thank you. I told DH last night and he was really pleased that I feel ready now. He's just been waiting patiently bless him, I wasn't even sure he wanted to try again but he is very keen. It definitely feels more real now though.

I just hope it happens for us, I've always had an instinct that I may not be able to get pregnant, so when I did it was a big surprise but I was just so delighted. I just hope my instincts are wrong and it happens for us. I'm going to try to not get too obsessive about it but it's so difficult isn't it?!

Can I join please?

Cycle 6 (4 months being more serious about it)

AF due March 10th

This is my first time posting but have been lurking here for months. Decided to get on to chat to women going through the the same as I'm really being to over think.
No one knows we are trying and i keep getting the 'you don't want to leave it too late as it might be difficult' comments Confused

Last month was my first month temping.

Fairly disappointed with af arriving today TBH, although I didn't have any symptoms I did feel 'different'. It's also the first time I actually poas but got bfn on 11dpo and 14dpo
Even with the negatives convinced myself I still could be until af arrived today

Will try again this month and if nothing happens will go to the doctor for tests.

Good luck to all on the bus X

Anyone else tried pregnacare before conception? I'm currently on day 3 of my pills due to advice from a friend to take it after my 2nd miscarriage

I came off the pill in November so I am technically on cycle 3 but we were using other contraceptive as we were not ready to conceive.

Goodluck everyone

DeeM123 · 08/02/2017 20:18

GemXo - I am currently taking pregnacare before conception, I have been using it for the past month now. Don't know if it help yet as I will be ttc this month for the first time, will let you know how it goes. Before I started taking it I read somewhere that it prolongs your cycle my was not changed.

minime2017 · 09/02/2017 07:52

Morning all. Officially in the tww. I've cut down the green tea and coffee, and replaced with berry and lemon and ginger tea. Here's hoping it has a positive effect.

Jumping on too!

Cycle 1
AF due 1st March, though this is debatable as all cycles since I stopped breastfeeding DD(10 months) have been 27 days, however last month was 30 days. Poss chemical pregnancy?

Not using any methods of predicting ovulation other than dates as I just can't be bothered with the faff. We're very much 'let nature take its course' minded. DD was conceived after two months of trying so fingers crossed we are just ridiculously fertile people!

Hello,

Hoping I can join? I'm new to this so please bear with me on the acronyms Confused

Age:27

Cycle 1
AF due 8th March

I'm using two apps (Ovia and Clue) to help predict! But I'm not sure whether they are actually accurate let's see....also something really strange happened this time as normally my AF is 28/29 days however for the first time this month it was 25 days! Don't know whether I'm subconsciously stressing myself out but wondering has that happened to anyone else?

ForumUsername · 09/02/2017 10:32

My cycles have been all off a a bit they can be anywhere from 25 to 35 days but usually around 29/30 days
I seemed to be missing ovulation by a few days according to the apps I started temping last month to narrow it down

I've definitely started over thinking and hate that I'm doubting my ability to actually get pregnant when I know it's still early days!
My sisters all got pregnant without trying when they were in their early 20's
I'm a good bit younger than them and they constantly told me to be careful
A few years ago they started to tell me to start trying before it's too late
Love them to bits but talk about head wrecking!!

GN06 · 09/02/2017 11:37

Was at the GP's this morning and mentioned not getting peak for 3 consecutive months on clearblue fertility monitor and she's getting me to have a 21 day blood test done to check my hormones. Hope this will tell me that yes actually, I am ovulating!! Will put my mind at rest. On CD5 today so a couple of weeks yet for that! Due to start testing with CB on Saturday.

Redpony1 · 10/02/2017 09:43

Finally got AF post pill yesterday after 65 days!

How is everyone? Any cycle buddies similar to me here :) been dtd for fun a couple of times this month but fw begins Sunday so the real fun will begin then haaa x

Oysterbabe · 10/02/2017 14:36

Afternoon!
I'm joining loads of threads to try and distract me from being CD5 and BORED. Can't I just ovulate already?

stuckinny · 10/02/2017 17:56

Hi MistyBxx, I'm just one day behind you. Decided to use opks this month as the last four cycles have been erratic (two 25 days then two 35 days). The whole poas first thing in the morning is already annoying but I know it'll hopefully give me some answers.

MistyBxx · 10/02/2017 18:58

Hi 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
I used opk last month stuckinny but I was reading the results wrong so hoping for a better month this one!
Oyster I'm on cd9 and bored too! Been dtd a bit coz for some reason, I want it all the time when af has just vacated but trying to hold off a bit coz I burn myself out really quick haha 😂 fw starts Sunday according to one app and ends 21st according to another app so gonna try and dtd as much as poss between those dates which means I've got to conserve energy lol hubs works long hours on his feet and my day job is mentally intense 🙈

88claire · 11/02/2017 08:30

Hello Ladies.

I believe AF arrived this morning so here I am..

TTC no.1
Cycle 3 (one miscarriage in between)
Estimated testing date March 11th but probably will change.

Here's to December babies!

Oysterbabe · 11/02/2017 08:35

My birthday is in December, DD is a NYE baby and I'd be very happy with another December one :)

88claire · 11/02/2017 08:39

Oyster

I'm a December baby too and loved it! Fx this is the cycle for us!

Hi ladies, thought I'd join the March bus as I think AF showed up yesterday (4 days early Sad)

Cycle 6
CD2

Was hoping I was having implantation bleeding yesterday as was brown when I wiped (tmi sorry!) but today it's gone red. Although not my normal af heaviness I'm taking it as af and moving on Halo

MistyBxx · 11/02/2017 11:46

Morning girlies!! Sorry to see some familiar names from the Feb bus 😩 but feeling positive about this bus!
I'm currently CD10 and fw isn't supposed to start til Sunday but dtd last night and hubs reckoned "a pint" went up there lol sorry tmi but had to laugh 😂 hopefully he can keep that up over the next week!
Although my other app puts my fw starting next Thurs til the 21st! So from tomorrow, just gonna have to dtd as much as possible for the whole 10 days lol.
If it doesn't happen for me this month, I'm going to disembark all transport for a month!
Partly because I'm going insane lol and partly because I don't want a Christmas baby. I know I shouldn't be so fussy and I'm not really in a position to be, but that's what I'm doing!
How is everyone??xx

QueenoftheKings · 11/02/2017 12:29

I'm feeling similar misty, all of my DH family have birthdays December/January and it's expensive enough but I can't help feeling that if it turns out that way it's meant to be so I think we will keep going.

It's crazy the pressure we put on ourselves each month and the disappointment when it doesn't happen is crushing.

I'm feeling positive about March though. Here's hoping lots of BFP on this thread! FlowersFlowers

Thingymaboob · 11/02/2017 12:49
