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?

Hi hope it's ok to join?

Stats are:

Age: 26
TTC: #2 since January
AF due: 06/03

DD is 13months. Last time it took almost a year to fall with her so I am preparing myself for a long journey. However I had come off Depo last time so hoping that was the main cause for the time it took us. This time I am breastfeeding (periods returned in December) so no idea I am ovulating.

Hey - literally just signed up :) I don't understand all the abbreviations, is there a list somewhere I can refer to?

I'm 26, and trying to conceive (ttc, I guessed that one!) my first baby!

I came off the pill on 31 Dec, had a light bleed and then a regular(?) period on 31st Jan. I've been getting cramping and aches for a day or two... How soon can I take a test?!

Jennibub when is your period due?

jennibub27 · 20/02/2017 18:22

I don't know, I've been using the pill for a couple of years which completely stopped my periods - before that, I had the implant which had the same effect. And before that (about 8 years ago), I wasn't regular ... I'm hoping it will be a normal 28 day cycle but I'm hoping I won't have to find out!

MotherofUnicorns · 20/02/2017 19:00

so I am on Cd15 waiting for peak ovulation on an opk..so desperate for a wee on my way home from work but thinking I needed it to do a test I lost all dignity and have weed in a small water bottle in a sainsburys loo!!
Seriously classy.
Currently waiting to pick up dd from rainbows with a bottle of warm piss in my handbag!! Jesus this ttc lark is not doing my street cred any good!!

lightgreenglass · 20/02/2017 19:02

If your last cycle was 30 days then I would test around the 2nd March.

The cramping and aches might be ovulation pains?

lightgreenglass · 20/02/2017 19:04

motherofunicorns I took my piss cup for OPKs into work, so I feel you! Obviously I didn't put it on my desk or anything. Grin

jennibub27 · 20/02/2017 20:16

Thanks :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

MotherofUnicorns · 20/02/2017 20:46

ha ha glass i have considered that!! It was worth it though - i got a lovely peak reading when i got home!!

allthecheese · 20/02/2017 22:13

Amazing dedication to the cause Motherofunicorns

I am day 28 and am cramping and teary and fully expecting AF tomorrow. Gutted.

DeeM123 · 20/02/2017 22:20

Hi - I am currently on cd13 and think that I am ovulating. Does anybody get tender boobs when ovulating?

Mimilicious013 · 21/02/2017 07:03

Morning ladies

Thanks cookie , really hope this is it.
Cd9 and has begun.
unicorns and green really admire your dedication Grin
Hope the witch stays away cheese

MrsC1982 · 21/02/2017 10:29

Booted off the Feb bus two days late, just as I was getting hopeful... AF you nasty little fu&ker...

Age 34
TTC #1
Cycle 5 (had a flu related break in Jan)
AF 21/3 (or seemingly whenever she fancies ruining my day)

ttcnovice · 21/02/2017 10:31

Morning everyone!

Has anyone using the clearblue dual hormone OPKs ever had experience of prolonged "high" readings? I'm onto day 5 of "high" flashing smiley faces with no signs of a "peak". On CD15 so would have expected to have seen it by now (had the "peak" on CD13 after two days of "high" readings last cycle). Really confused and worried I'm not ovulating every month now Sad.

lightgreenglass · 21/02/2017 11:32

ttcnovice I got 8 days of flashing smileys and then ran out of sticks so gave up.

stuckinny · 21/02/2017 11:33

ttcnovice I used CB this month and got 7 days of highs before a peak. The peak didn't come until cd16. It's still possible for you to get a peak.

ttcnovice · 21/02/2017 11:42

Thanks light it gets expensive to carry on using these ones doesn't it!

Thanks too stuck - I guess I will carry on then! I know it says in the pack to carry on testing until you get to 9 "highs", so there's still time as you said. Why our bodies can't work in a predictable way I'll never know!

QueenoftheKings · 21/02/2017 12:16

I am CD 12 and had a faint line on opk yesterday but today it's gone....could I have ovulated really early? Usually I don't ovulate until CD 15/16.

My mood swings today have been bad and all I feel like doing is hibernating and crying Confused

jennibub27 · 21/02/2017 13:11

Stupid question... What is a CD?

Oysterbabe · 21/02/2017 13:19

Cycle day.

Redpony1 · 21/02/2017 13:48

Queenofthekings i am CD13 today and yesterday my OPK line was fainter too, haven't done todays yet (normally i do them between 2:30/3pm) so i will see what that is like.

jennibub27 · 21/02/2017 15:11

Thanks oysterbabe... Would that be calculated from the 1st day of the period?

QueenoftheKings · 21/02/2017 15:40

Jenni, CD 1 is the first day of your period Smile

I'm worried I've already ovulated and I wasn't ready Sad

QueenGiggles · 21/02/2017 16:41

Just catching up!!

I'm unsure wether to use opks this month or wether to just go for it!! I'm on cd5 so got a good few days before I need to start with them

jennibub27 · 21/02/2017 17:19

Thanks! :)

I don't really have any advice to offer!
