Another month, another period. I was due af yesterday but had no sign but today I've had brown tinged cm so she'll be here tomorrow.

Anyone else out for March already? Feel free to join in my misery lol

Sorry to hear about your cp justwaiting :(

Ovia is telling me to test in 3 days even though I'm not due af until weds/thurs. I didn't buy any internet cheapies this month so I've got no temptation!

I point blank refuse to let my DD's dad have her Christmas Day, he picks her up about 5pm and has her for Boxing Day. I used to think I wouldn't like a Christmas baby but I'm past being fussy haha I have fertility issues after a loss a couple of years ago so I'm not very hopeful

bubble it's okay, it's my second so slightly easier to handle this time. I know not to get too excited unless it's a clear line instead of one you have to up the contrast on to see.

Ah, we've decided to alternate but I managed to sweet talk the last 3 thankfully! She'll be 2 hours away as well and DP will be on a night shift so it will be a very lonely Christmas if there isn't a baby there

Bubblegum89 · 30/03/2017 20:11

That's why I get so paranoid about doing hpt's. I know most cp's aren't noticed but when you're ttc and doing tests from 7dpo, you know when they're happening. I'm worried about getting a bfp as my condition causes recurrent miscarriage. A bfp is the easy part I think (in a way lol)

Christmas is my one time of year where I won't compromise on anything haha it's just occurred to me that if I don't get a bfp this month then I won't have a baby until at least 2018. That's such a long time away! Keeping my fingers crossed for you though!

Sorry for the bfn chicken. As others have said, you're not out yet.

Empathy for all those on the 2ww. Hoping to join you very soon. After 36hrs of positive opk I have a negative so hoping that means ov has or is soon to happen. Looking for a temp rise now. Unfortunately FF says af is due in six days so luteal phase may be super short and count me out. We have bd'd 3 of the last 4 days but both too knackered tonight so just going to hope for the best...

tiddledpink · 30/03/2017 22:04

hope the dreaded TWW goes as quick as possible for all of you who are there already.

finally got my positive OPK this morning so we are now aiming to DTD as often as we can until the TWW hits - fortunately it's the same time as I start my apprenticeship so hopefully that will keep me from symptom stopping.

WantTo I'm also looking at testing on the 19th; trying to not buy any tests until the 18th so that I don't cave and test too early Grin

Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 00:02

Hi Grin can I join in? 32 ttc #4 (last!) Periods all over the shop. Since my lg 2 yrs ago. Trying since jan but cycles are so messed up I don't know what's af and what's not. Didn't really notice how bad till started ttc.
Taking seven seas trying for a baby vits see if they help.

Predicted af due around 15th

BlueSpottyTiger · 31/03/2017 00:48

loopy welcome 👋 I'm due af on the 15th too.. testing buddies Grin Goodluck!

ReturnofSaturn · 31/03/2017 04:04

Hello all! Newbie joining in here.

Age: 28
TTC #1
Cycle #1

My last period started on 23rd march. So will be expecting it around the 22nd April.
I have 5 opks and have no idea when i ovulate and stuff. When would people suggest i pee on the first one?

Jojones210476 · 31/03/2017 04:08

Hi, I'm on cd24 of 30. Cycle 18 ttc. Feeling really down today, anyone else waiting to test I'm not feeling it this month

WantToGoingTo · 31/03/2017 07:10

tiddled we must both promise to wait! We are away from 13-17th so should be fine to wait I think :)

Aggy106 · 31/03/2017 08:08

Hi all, welcome to all the new people! return I'd suggest starting now if you're not sure when you ovulate as I guess you're about cd10. My cycle is a bit irregular but usually 28 days and i think I usually ov on day 16 but you may ov earlier than me.

Ovia says I'm due to ovulate on Monday/Tuesday, how early do people get ewcm before? I've had nothing yet Confused also my PILs are coming tonight for the weekend so not much chance of action over the weekend, will need to find a way to get them out of the house for a bit!

Fx for everyone tearing their hair out during tww, stay strong, I'm sending positive thoughts your way! X

WantToGoingTo · 31/03/2017 08:29

aggy I don't get ewcm at all! Think I've had it once in my life?!

Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 08:36

Morning all. I'm currently cd17 But started bleeding Monday and my predicted ovulation was Tuesday. Bleeding isn't all day and full flow it starts in morning but by early afternoon 2pm ish it's gone till next morning. My af (I think it was af) was like this too. So although my flo app says I'm due af on 15th ish should I now class this as af? I had a little ewcm yesterday evening and started the seven seas yesterday too.

Ttc is so difficult this time around x

Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 08:40

Thanks Blue :) I think I'm already out this month with my on off bleeds x

ifeellikechickentonight · 31/03/2017 09:20

Another BFN from me this morning on CD27 of a usual 26 day cycle. I keep convincing myself I see the faintest faintest bit of a line but probably just an evap. Forgot how rubbish blue dye tests are. Going to get a first response to do tomorrow if still no sign of AF but I don't rate my chances at this stage.

April Bus: All aboard!
Beardy1 · 31/03/2017 09:27

Hi new people, welcome.

aggy I get the beginnings of ewcm about 5 days before ov but 2 days before its gets really ewcm.

jojones I'm cd23 and will be testing in a week after a definite missed period. Tend to have a 28 day cycle so we shall see. Fx for you.

wantto I went through a phase of stress where my ewcm reduced loads so we used preseed. It's really good.

loopy how strange to get mid cycle bleed. Have you ever had this before? It might be worth looking at acupuncture to help regulate your cycle and bleed. It's really helped me.

Justwaitingforaline · 31/03/2017 09:44

ifeel I don't want to get your hopes up, but I can definitely see a hint of a line on that test...

Justwaitingforaline · 31/03/2017 09:48

I found an IC in the house, I didn't think I had any but after agreeing not to early test this time I thought I'd just POAS and get rid of it.

Pretty sure this is a BFN although DP swears he can see a squinter on it!

Oh well, at least they're all gone now and given I don't get paid til the 10th, I can't test before that!

April Bus: All aboard!
Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 09:54

@ifeel I definitely see a very very faint line. Fingers crossed it's a positive and gets darker

Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 09:56

beardy I've always had spotting but usually after sex and never like another period. I wouldn't know where to start with acupuncture is it expensive?

Carlotta82248 · 31/03/2017 10:01

I'm sad today, wish I'd not seen that pinky bleeding yesterday on CD17, can't stop thinking about implantation bleeding and am probably just setting myself up for huge disappointment. I hate this whole process!

I spot feint lines on both ladies x

Beardy1 · 31/03/2017 10:12

just waiting I can see a really really faint line. I'm keep everything crossed for you.

loopsy I pay £40 a session but it was worth it for to regulate after having a MC. I've found it's worked wonders for me. Some NHS providers will fund it if the gp recognises you have an issue with irregular bleeding. Also some acupuncturist do means testing payment so you pay less dependant on your salary.

carlotta I feel for you. It's so hard when you body goes and does something like that. I hope you get some time to chill out a bit.

Justwaitingforaline · 31/03/2017 10:23

Carlotta tough; isn't it? I wish our bodies could just make our wee a different colour the second we conceived - just pissing purple from the word go would be a hell of a lot easier than pissing on sticks.

I'll remain cautious, I think. I'm not really sure when I'm supposed to be testing as Ovia is a little messed up from my chemical last month. I usually have 26/27 day cycles. My Feb MP was 11/02-15/02, this month wasn't til 15/03-19/03 but but Ovia has put my next one at the 12/04 yet says I should test in 5 days...what's up with that?!

Beardy1 · 31/03/2017 10:40

justwait I have a similar thing after my MC with ovia. I had a 34 day cycle after my MC when I'm usually 27/28 days. It's telling me to test in 3 days but I'm going to sit on it until the 7th of April and see if af comes. Fingers x I don't buckle!! Xx

Loopyaslola · 31/03/2017 13:37

Are there any remedies for boobs pains? Quite bad today feel like I need to hold them constantly but I can't lol
