AF arrived today so I am now hoping for a March bfp.
This is cycle 6, ttc #2. Aged 32.

Never started a thread before, so hopefully you will join & we can symptom spot together!

Oh @owlpatrol I really thought this month would be your month? Do you think you may consult your gp? Even if it’s just to give you peace of mind?

@muddlingthrough again so frustrating, am I right in think you are ttc 2? I have been finding recently that everyone keeps asking when no2 will be arriving and don’t we need to get our skates on? It’s so infuriating and insensitive.

I said to DH if we don’t get a bfp this month I want him to see a dr. He was tested just before we conceived last time and came back as borderline but I am worried they could have deteriorated. Don’t think he is that keen though!

My dh is not wanting to go to the dr he has two from previous and so doesn't think it's him but I'm sure I'm ovulating so I don't know what it is. I am going to ring the dr in March though x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 23/02/2018 13:05

@xLauraa. Sorry AF got you Flowers Are You still on the March bus?

@Woody096. DH is having his soldiers tested on Monday. His Dr agreed to test him but apparently he said "Well you already have one so it looks good" How does having one tell anything?? One could've just been a stroke of luck!

@Owlpatrol. Depending in how old his dc' s are, things could have changed down there - injury/illness/age.

Emilyrose1290 · 23/02/2018 13:21

@Woody I am ttc #2 and so sick of being asked when are you having another one, hurry up etc. it’s so insensitive... I guess people don’t know your ttc but it’s still upsetting!

Alex2790 · 23/02/2018 15:56

Do you ever feel like your body hates you?
Came off pill end of june using ovulation tests and everything still not pregnants starting to piss me off and get me down. Im now on the march bus fingers crossed getting fed up now x

MuddlingThrough1724 · 23/02/2018 17:18

Yes @Woody096 we're trying for #2. Our trying so far has been a bit half hearted, but typical that the month we really start making an effort is the one where my cycle is even more unpredictable than usual.

@Alex2790 I often feel like my body is letting me down. Are you trying for your first? If so, don't give up. Took over 3 years for us to concieve #1 and by then it was completely unexpected as I thought we would never have children. Even my well worn and unreliable body managed it in the end. Xx

stegosauruslady · 23/02/2018 17:21

Ugh...So sorry to hear from everyone who has AF or bfn. It sucks.

DP is utterly plague riddled, so this may not be our month, depending on how long it lasts. He is curled up on the sofa coughing up his guts! Pretty sexy.

Alex2790 · 23/02/2018 18:21

Hi yeh its my first. Just gets you down when u feel like you have been trying for ages and everyone else get pregnant at the drop of a hat x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 23/02/2018 18:52

Sorry to be tmi bit does anyone feel sore, like bruised down there during flo? Blush

Owlpatrol · 23/02/2018 19:06

Thanks for all your support only thing maybe keeping me in is that the cramps feel slightly odd and my boobs are really sore but I'll keep you posted.
@LookingAtTheStars89 yeah I do usually a few days before and during it's hard to shift but I switch to a towel in the evenings to give it a break 😂

LookingAtTheStars89 · 23/02/2018 19:33

@Owlpatrol. Fx for you! X I've never worn a tampon - they freak me out lol

stegosauruslady · 23/02/2018 20:03

@LookingAtTheSTars89 I did, when I used towels and tampons, turns out I'm allergic. Mooncup for me these days.

Owlpatrol · 23/02/2018 20:22

Oooh I might switch to moon cup

Red wine and chocolate on the menu for me tonight

LookingAtTheStars89 · 23/02/2018 21:05

Doesn't it leak around the sides? Or fall out when you are peeing?

@Owlpatrol. I had red wine last night and chocolate lol. Ttc is stressful! I feel a bit said now that we've got to a stage that I'm the only one that says "when we are pregnant" or "when we have next baby". I just said to DH "Ooh of we get pregnant in March it will be a December baby and he just said "Mm" Sad

Owlpatrol · 24/02/2018 00:14

Aww looking I know what you mean. I feel so down that I don't think I'll have a baby in 2018 now Sad

Woody096 · 24/02/2018 08:29

I caved and poas. BFN! To be expected really as only 6dpo. WHY? Why do I do it to myself!!!

OP posts:
stegosauruslady · 24/02/2018 10:32

@LookingAtTheStars Nope! No leaking or moving while peeing. I can even go swimming on a heavy flow day and trust it totally.

CD9 here. DP now driving me slightly mad with his illness.

EverythingNow · 24/02/2018 10:46

I’m a mooncup fan too @stegosaurus lady! I completely forget that I’m on when I use it which I was never able to do with Tampons.

5dpo here, nothing in the way of symptoms to spot. Not that it means much as I never had anything in my other pregnancies.

sophi22 · 24/02/2018 11:51

Think I'm out too 😩 premenstral and grumpy at the moment so AF can only be round the corner. Sorry to hear about everyone's BFNs, here's to April bus and lots of BFPs!

xLeanne128 · 24/02/2018 11:51

Marking my place, no period at all so far in February! Had a MC in January and came off pill in November so my body is completely out of whack. Got my positive opk yesterday CD30! Hoping for a bfp and a sticky one!!! All makes it harder when you don't even know when AF is even due! Goodluck girls xx

Owlpatrol · 24/02/2018 13:18

Yep so grumpy today headachy and crampy so certain af on her way. I'm out tonight so not all bad can let me hair down whoop whoop!

AaronPurrSir · 24/02/2018 14:14

AF has just arrived so I’m jumping on the March train!

32
TTC #1
Cycle 3

The last 2 months I’ve been doing the “just shag and see what happens” method. Now, I man business! This month I will be:

Sperm meets egg plan
Grapefruit juice
Evening primrose oil
Pre-pregnancy vitamins
OPKs
Pre-seed

Here’s hoping it works!

winterwarmers · 24/02/2018 14:35

@AaronPurrSir i am doing exactly the same this month plus i'm going to be starting a diet to lose a few lbs :)

SqidgeBum · 24/02/2018 14:48

AaronPurrSir I am basically the exact same as you (minus the juice). I have the OPS sticks, the Preseed, following the SMEP, my vitamins, and the DH on Vitamin C. On cycle 8 now and this month I am very determined. I have just been DTD on day of ovulation and leaving the rest to chance. Not this month. We are clearly women on a mission.

AaronPurrSir · 24/02/2018 15:29

squidgebum yup, I have DP on the vitamin C and Wellman tablets! I’m like his mum, telling him to take them every day.

If I’m doing all this weird shit, he needs to do some too! Grin
