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?

Lying with a pillow under my hips pre night shift! What even is life?! CD8 here! Feeling calm this month, almost lost hope which strangely is making me feel better Confused

Hi guys, sorry didn't give enough details yesterday on my previous post as I was sleepy.
Stats are:

Age: 28
TTC: 1
CD: 14
AF due: 07/03

Fw was from 17 -21Feb , dtd with DH everyday from the 15th. My question to you ladies is: has any of you experienced under arm and side breast pain during ovulation? Normally I don't have any symptoms of ovulation I just have ewcm.

One of my friend's was telling me she knew she had conceived immediately because her boobs were hurting. I don't want to get my hopes high, I need someone to knock some sense into me.

Thanks in advance

novice I once got a solid after NINE days of flashing

ttcnovice · 21/02/2017 20:06

Megs I bet that was a stressful month Shock it's good to know I'm doing the right thing carrying on testing, I was all for giving up this morning!

harrypotternerd · 21/02/2017 23:24

Hey guys I am wondering if someone can help. My cycle is 25 - 26 days. I got a peak reading on CB dual hormone OPK on CD 10. I am now on CD 16 and have had another peak, I have also had high readings between those days. I am so confused. Anyone able to help?

Hi All.

Could I hope on the bus.

Hi
Just moving over from Feb bus.

Stats:
TTC #1
age 33
Cycle 16
BFP Due 01 March

I am currently away from home travelling for work and only brought 1 test with me. Taking all my will power not to test before Friday at least. Know I should probably wait until the 1st but 16 cycles in patience is not my strong point :)

Oysterbabe · 22/02/2017 08:53

CD17. Yesterday's opk very negative. Still unsure whether I ovulated earlier in the month. I normally start getting sore boobs about a week after ovulation so I'll look out for that around Friday. I just hope AF shows up on time and the pill hasn't thrown it out too much.

2ducks2ducklings · 22/02/2017 09:05

Urgh, can I hop on to this bus too please? BFN this morning after cp last month and MC in November. I'm really struggling to stay positive, I know I'm very lucky to have my 2 children, but I conceived in the first month with those two and this will be cycle 6!
I have toyed with the idea of just giving up and being thankful for what I have, even though I know I'll regret not trying when we're too old.
We're moving house next Tuesday to a complete renovation project, so that stress isn't helping matters.
Oh, I'm sorry for being a Debbie downer ladies, I promise I'll perk up Smile

lightgreenglass · 22/02/2017 09:29

2ducks I have two already and my story is very similar to yours. This morning I had the same thoughts, but you just can't shake the urge. PMA! It will happen!

ttcnovice · 22/02/2017 09:31

harry I thought with the CB dual hormone OPKs you're not supposed to carry on testing after a peak reading? If you start testing again after the peak (or after not testing for 3 or more days) it will assume you've started a new cycle I think? So the baseline it used the day after your peak could have been different from your usual meaning you got the highs and peak again. I'm not an expert by any means but I'd trust your first peak as O day.

lampfromikea · 22/02/2017 09:34

Flowers 2ducks you'll get there!

Current CD20/8DPO. Not symptom spotting at all if I can help it, however my nipples have been crazy itchy (tmi sorry) which happened when I conceived DD. I've also been horribly bloated and gassy but that could just be the rubbish I ate over the weekend combined with bean chilli two nights in a row.
I have a load of internet cheap tests upstairs leftover from TTC DD so the temptation to test is hanging over me!

LorenLouise · 22/02/2017 10:02

Cramping in my belly, due to ovulate today could this be what it is?! First cycle TTC so not completely sure everything I should be looking for.
Had sex 18th and 20th both twice but I'm scared that it won't be enough!! 2WW going to be a slow one xx

Itsjustaphase84 · 22/02/2017 19:23

DeeM, I have the same breast pain during ovulation. Not necessarily pg pains.

MotherofUnicorns · 22/02/2017 21:28

Evening all, i think i am coming to the end of FW now. negative opk this eve. Might give it one more go tonight or tomorrow and then it is the dreaded 2ww......
louise that sounds like it prob is ovulation to me so go for it again before you worry about the 2ww.
ikea give it a couple more days.... i'm pretty sure you won't see anything reliable at 8dpo and you'll end up doing a midnight run to the shops for more tests!!
2ducks and greenglas i also have 2 already and all my friends think i am mad going for #3 but like you say i just can't shake it and i am getting more and more broody as time goes on.

Thingymaboob · 22/02/2017 22:16

Hi motherofunicorns - weren't you on a thread middle of 2016? I recognise your name.
I am CD 15. Period tracker has today as ovulation day even though I'm a regular 28 days. I have had EWCM for last three days. There was a big blob of it today (sorry TMI) DTD on CD 11, 12 and 14. Not DTD today. This is second cycle I've been ttc since my mc. Feel very emotional!

DeeM123 · 22/02/2017 22:34

Thanks justaphase,I had never experienced that before. I am now in the dreaded TWW and trying so hard not to symptom spot but I have been bloated and getting some shooting pain on the side of my lower abdomen.

Mimilicious013 · 23/02/2017 07:30

Good morning ladies and good to all those in the tww already. Cd11 and o today or tomorrow.

thingy your dtd seems good enough. Fx you caught the egg.
unicorns great you can put a little more bd after o,l seem to stop altogether soon after ov (maybe l am leaving it too early )
louise the cramps could be ov pain.fx for you
ikea , just 5 more days for you to test. Hang in there and good luck
Sorry for how you are feeling 2ducks ,l am on cycle 22 but I gotta be hopeful
I would keep dtd harry , just in case
dee l only ever get ewcm and mild cramps during o.

Mimilicious013 · 23/02/2017 07:32

*good luck to all in tww

Itsjustaphase84 · 23/02/2017 08:06

DeeM it's very hard not to symptom spot. I'm on cycle 4, ithink, and I've given up symptom spotting. I'm just gearing up for Fw but I'm not going to do it as often this time. I'm trying a different tactic. Hmm

Oysterbabe · 23/02/2017 08:17

CD18 today and my breasts feel a bit fuller, classic luteal phase symptom. I'm going to assume I ov'ed on CD12, if at all, when I had the strongest line on the opk as they are pure white now. This would make me 6DPO. I intend to test 6th March if no AF. That's quite late to test if my ovulation was CD12 but my cycles are a bit up in the air and I want to make sure I'm actually late.
Good luck everyone.

ttcnovice · 23/02/2017 10:14

7th day of "high" readings on the CB dual hormone OPKs for me, with no sign of a peak still. The test line itself was much fainter this morning though, whereas yesterday it was quite close in strength to the control. Going to just assume I missed the surge and hope for the best I think!

Good luck to those already in the 2ww!

BBS83 · 23/02/2017 10:52

Anyone else tesuting around the 1st or 2nd. It is CD 27 for me but as my cycle is normally around 32 days but varies. I am trying not to test before the weekend.

oysterbabe i am like you cycles were ally over the place started taking angus castus and that seems to have help regulate.

Had some symptoms like back pain and sore breasts which could be af but also had waves of nausea which is not normal.
As it's cycle 16 don't want to syptoms spot and get my hopes up.

ttcnovice I had a few of those were the line change was sudden think the best advice is when you start to get a line to aim for at least dtd every 2nd day. I started testing twice a day too as the line can get darker between the morning and evening.

ChocolateRaisin · 23/02/2017 11:36

Hi everyone. I think I'm already out this month, we dtd 3 days in a row, got a positive ovulation stick and then life got in the way, so we didn't manage to dtd again in FW, so the chances are slim I would say. I probably ovulated approx 48hrs after I last dtd, so I don't think I have much of a chance!

Oh well, on to next month!

ttcnovice · 23/02/2017 11:58

Thanks BB think I will test more than once a day next cycle! The CB test sticks are so expensive though which put me off this time around. Have DTD 8 days in a row (well and truly knackered!) so fx I did just miss the surge! Your waves of nausea sound promising - fx it's your month! 🤞🏼

Chocolate you never know, they say sperm can last up to 5 days - you're not out yet! Good luck!
