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

mrshandles sorry to hear about your dm Flowers xx

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 06:55

blue - I never did until this month! And I think that's because I'm tracking so carefully I was looking for it (if that makes sense). Very mild. Easily missable and I think loads of women don't feel it at all.

Mrshandles - sorry about your DM.

I'm 9DPO and just tortured myself with another bfn. Temp just dropped too(not drastically but enough) so the signs are not good

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 06:57

Aggy how is your temp doing?

Oysterbabe · 09/04/2017 07:45

Sorry for the BFN boatrace, 9DPO is still too early though.

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 08:36

I know! Confused

Aggy106 · 09/04/2017 08:54

bluee I've never had them either, glad it's not just me who doesn't.

Sorry you had a bfn boatrace but it's still very early, one temp drop could be just an anomaly.

Temp up to 36.4 today, I've attached my chart because it's just so bizarre and opks say I ov'd day 17. Any thoughts very welcome! Also I've only just worked out how to change temp setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius on ovia, I've been having to convert them every single morning for the last three months. I am actually an idiot!

April Bus: All aboard!
BlueeSpottyTiger · 09/04/2017 09:07

Aggy are you feeling well? Maybe you could have just a bit of a temp if your coming fown with something?
Sorry for the bfn boat Sad how long are your cycles usually?

I think i may give temping ago again next month as its the last cycle im ttc until September! I did it the 3rd cycle i fell pregnant with dd.. don't know if that was just a coincidence though 🤔 lol

NotQuiteJustYet · 09/04/2017 11:34

So AF hasn't arrived yet, I spotted for 2 days and then it stopped. I hate all of this uncertainty.

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 13:36

aggy - that looks promising in terms of your temp. I googled bfp charts and they often have a dip like that (I am sad!!)
blue my cycles are all over the place so I work out when to test based on dpo. Last few cycles have been 33-35 days but this cycle I ovulated on day 30 and I'm now on day 39!

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 13:37

notquite have you tested?

BumpleLeeds · 09/04/2017 15:10

Hi everyone! Just hopping on the train again... sat last month out to try and stop me obsessing. Was determined to try and relax this month (and did okay during week 1 of waiting), but I've 6 days to go until I can officially POAS and now I'm symptom spotting and using the cheapie online tests. Why can't I just wait...???

Aggy106 · 09/04/2017 15:34

bluee I'm feeling fine thanks, I wonder if it's the heat over the last couple of days, when I've slept in cold rooms it's dropped my temp so wonder if m body is just sensitive to room temps. If it helps I find temping useful.

boatrace thanks for the reassurance, fingers crossed! What a pain about your cycles but sounds like you're really on top of your cycles. It's still a bit early to test but hope for good news in a few days.

notquite is it worth doing a test to put your mind at rest?

Hello bumple I know what you mean, I was determined to be really chilled this month, you've done really well to get through a week, keep going! X

Oysterbabe · 09/04/2017 16:49

We all know how you feel Bumpie but try and stay away from the tests. Nothing more depressing than the snowy whiteness of a bfn and still being none the wiser as it's too damn early.

CD25 today and I think my ovulation test is positive. This means I'm on for another 39 day cycle Hmm But at least we can DTD tonight and be in with a chance. I hope I haven't missed the egg.

April Bus: All aboard!
NotQuiteJustYet · 09/04/2017 17:15

I had done one a few days ago and it was a definite negative. My cycle has been all over the shop this time round, and FF has moved my estimated ovulation date 3 times now this cycle.

The latest guesstimate would currently put me at CD32/6DPO, which alongside a huge temperature dip yesterday would potentially put me in line for implantation bleeding maybe? I have long cycles normally so ovulation at this point wouldn't surprise me.

The guesstimate it gave before that would been ovulation at CD18, and have me at 14DPO now (I guess that's why I assumed AF was on the way). My boobs have been tender to the touch for 3 full weeks now, and they're getting worse. I'll give it a week, if AF stays away I'll test again.

All this PCOS and trying to work out cycle phases is exhausting! Wine

UnglamorousMum · 09/04/2017 17:41

Room for another one?

TTC #2
Cycle #1
CD 14
Age 30

Hope nobody minds me jumping on!

tiddledpink · 09/04/2017 18:28

Welcome 👋

Notquite fx af stays away for another week for you.

CD19; firmly in the tww now. 4dpo and driving myself stir crazy symptom spotting 🙃

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather while it's nice ☀️

UnglamorousMum · 09/04/2017 18:56

Hi 👋🏻

Feels strange to be back here, honestly wasn't sure a second baby would ever be part of our plan at one stage! The buses helped me so much last time round.

tiddledpink · 09/04/2017 19:23

I felt exactly the same at one stage; now I can't see us without another baby.

I can see why the buses helped so much. I wish I knew about mumsnet when pregnant with DS xx

Oysterbabe · 09/04/2017 19:23

Welcome back!

boatrace30 · 09/04/2017 19:25

That's great news oyster. I'm sure you'll catch it as don't you ovulate 12-36hrs later?
Welcome unglamorous and bumple. Bumple I know just how you feel. Going to try very hard not to test tomorrow (dpo10)

UnglamorousMum · 09/04/2017 19:53

Thanks tiddled. It was such a support for me first time round so knew I had to come back now. I'm the same - I now can't see our family as a 3, so hoping we are lucky enough to become 4. I got pregnant very quickly last time round. I was extremely lucky, but I know I'm going to be so impatient this time round because of how quickly it happened xx

BlueeSpottyTiger · 09/04/2017 20:09

Welcome back Smile
I found these buses great last time too x

UnglamorousMum · 09/04/2017 20:36

Thanks Bluee! Good to be back x

Oysterbabe · 10/04/2017 09:31

Still quite dark this morning. Left is this morning, right is yesterday afternoon. I think that the right one is slightly darker in comparison to the control line? I'll test again later. Hopefully the surge has passed and ovulation has happened / is imminent. We DTD last night and I'll try and get DH on board for tonight too. He is starting to get a bit fed up with the lack of romance in me telling him we need to DTD but I think it's fair enough that he shares in all of this. He's just as keen for another baby as me, probably more so.

April Bus: All aboard!
Hobbs123 · 10/04/2017 09:36

AF showed her head this morning so I guess that's me out for this cycle. Husband is still out of the country and I must say I am feeling rather sad this month :(

Roll on next cycle!
