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

Congratulations @Itsjustaphase84 and @Aggy106! So many bfp's on this bus! Fx for more.

I took a test earlier, not sure why as it wasn't even fmu. It was definitely a bfn, will test again with fmu on Wednesday if af hasn't appeared. Im either 11 or 12dpo so there is still hope.

Itsjustaphase84 · 17/04/2017 16:06

Thank you all. The ONLY thing I did different was drink 3 cups of Raspberry Tea a day, it was raspberry leaf in it too. I'd cool some and drink straight from fridge. It's by Heath & Heather and bought it from Holland & Barrett and drank it upto when Ovulation was over. I didn't opk. This is cycle 5. I always thought i produce a good amount of ewcm but I've never seen so much of it this month.

Looking at due date calculator I'm due Xmas day!!! I couldnt care less though so happy.

Congratulations Aggy!!!!

Hotpinkangel19 · 17/04/2017 16:07

@Aggy106 that looks like mine! Just did a clear blue test and can also see a vertical line...surely 2 Evaps in 1 day can't happen! ☹️

pocketfullofsunshine · 17/04/2017 16:17

@Hotpink hmm. sounds like you're getting BFP instead of evaps!! :)
eeek!! hold off POAS and test again in a couple of days

Carlotta82248 · 17/04/2017 16:18

Yaaaaay @Itsjustaphase84 search Easter Eggs to Christmas Babies and come chat!

@Aggy106 looks good!

What a bus!

KittyKat73 · 17/04/2017 19:42

@Allthecheese Hey! yes i remember we were irratic cycle partners. Can i ask what test did they do to confirm PCOS? i had routine bloods taken in feb and they said everything was normal they mentioned progesterone, oestrogen, throid fsh and lh levels so i just assumed PCOS testing would be in there too.

What treatement are you getting now that they have confirmed it? It has popped in my mind a few times that i might have it to be honest.

Hope your keeping well Smile

pocketfullofsunshine · 17/04/2017 22:09

Ladies, ive decided to start temping if AF shows this month. Does it have to be the same time every morning without fail?

allthecheese · 17/04/2017 23:06

Kittykat yay for being crappy cycle buds. I so hope yours is BFP related this month!

I had an internal ultrasound (not the most fun 20 minutes of my life!), think dildo with a camera on the end. I want the blood tests that you have had now, because I guess that all means you're ovulating properly? My issue now is I could not be ovulating. No treatment as yet, just temping to see whether I ovulate (and pushing for blood tests), and if not then will start clomid.

pocket, all I have read is that it has to be before you move at all. I've not seen anything that says it needs to be at the same time.

pocket yes needs to be at the same time for accurate results, first thing when you wake before you sit up talk or anything. Must be free minimum of 3hrs sleep. Fertility friend gives good advice on how to do it

boatrace30 · 18/04/2017 08:06

Congrats on all the bfps. It really was a lucky bus for many.
kitty - you need an ultrasound to confirm pcos. Blood tests will just give an idea of hormone levels and can give an idea of whether you are ovulating but difficult to get the timing right on that.

pocketfullofsunshine · 18/04/2017 08:11

@WantTo I think I'll leave temping as a last resort then. Will be difficult as my son wakes at different times each morning and still wakes through the night.

BlueeSpottyTiger · 18/04/2017 08:59

Wow! Congratulations girls.. fab news! So pleased for you all ❤

pocket - im the same... i started 4days ago on cd1 and my temp is all over the place as im still up with dd breastfeeding whenever she is waking up in the night.. i generally take it around 7.30 when she wakes up...how old is your ds?
I'm hoping i can just see the dip? & peak to know when i have ovulated so i know how many dpo i am for sure. .not too fussed if i dont. Thought i might aswell try Im doing that along with opks xx

pocketfullofsunshine · 18/04/2017 09:25

@Bluee He's 18 months hun. Hes slept through for a while but February was in hospital and constantly being woke up, so we're back to the bottles for comfort again! Trying to slowly get him back into the habbit of sleeping through. Defo gona use opk's though. I tracked my cm as best as i could this month and tallied up against my app that said i was ovulating. So shall see!! 6dpo and already counting the days down to test!! FX for BFP for us all this month!!!

IfeelFloopy · 18/04/2017 09:44

Hey all, is it too late to join the bus? I was always confused as to which thread I should be on 🙈

TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD17
2 DPO

At least I think I'm 2 dpo, I have never used ovulation strips so I'm just going by what my app is telling me. We are trying to take a relaxed approach but I think that could quickly change. I would be reluctant to buy a pregnancy test until I missed a period (cos I'm right haha) but it's amazing how quickly TTC can take over your brain so I think if AF shows up this month then I'll be buying some ovulation strips for next time!

IfeelFloopy · 18/04/2017 09:46

*cos I'm tight

Chuckading · 18/04/2017 10:18

Can I join as well please?!

TTC #2
CD 25

I'm 38yo, DS is 5yo. I had 1 mmc before conceiving DS.
I'm a bit obsessive with testing as I need to know as soon as possible as I am high risk and had pre-e and Icp with DS who was born early. So consultant wants me on medication by 7wks!!
Took a test today, 5 days early and it was negative! Sadwhich is frustrating as I feel pregnant. I keep pulling my tummy muscles easily (first sign i was pregnant last time) plus pressure, I'm cranky as hell and incredibly tired! Or I could just be exhausted from school holidays and unfit I suppose! Confused on the plus side there's a free £1 off inside today's box of tests!

tiddledpink · 18/04/2017 11:57

So I took a test this morning and got a BFN; AF due tomorrow so kind of waiting for her to show.

If no sign by Friday I'll test again xx

tiddledpink · 18/04/2017 11:57

Hi Chuck 👋

pocketfullofsunshine · 18/04/2017 12:12

Hello ladies who have just joined!

I'm driving myself crazy! Been having cramps since 4dpo.. they haven't gone away.. ttc #2 but all this ttc is new to us haha.
Im now 6dpo and poas! There was no point i know, I'm hoping seeing the BFN will trick my brain into stopping SS!
If AF shows Im gona be in for one hell of a week :'(

Emz01 · 18/04/2017 19:11

Hey girls,

Unfortunately AF arrived for me this morning so I will be moving to the May bus. Hope I don't see too many of you there. Good luck all!

tiddledpink · 18/04/2017 19:52

Sorry to hear that Emz CakeFlowers hopefully May is your month xx

Chuckading · 18/04/2017 20:35

Sorry to hear that Emz x

Hello Pocket and Tiddled!

KittyKat73 · 18/04/2017 20:36

Thanks Allthecheese and Boatrace!

I think it was just general blood tests they did so not sure if it shows im ovulating or not. I suppose temping would be best for that to confirm it but i work a mix of days and nightshifts so would have a big chance of missing it every month. will still play the wait and see when AF is going to appear game Grin CD38 and counting! Allthecheese oh god a dildo with a camera attached does not sound like 20 mins of fun! hope they only done it the once for you!
