March bus - bfp’s welcome.

[Woody096]

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!

@BlueSarah - currently in my fertile week too according to Glow App. However I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday. AF due 21st March. Good luck to you!

Hello! A bit late to the party- currently 11DPO. This is cycle 11 and I have probable fertility problems.
Got a BFN this morning but having a lot of symptoms. Also had a blood test at 9DPO, results not back yet but guessing also negative. Next testing until 14DPO, I think.

Approaching ovulation atm, and we’ve been v good at dtd during fertile week. But today worried I’ve scuppered it by having a bath! Do you know if any risk of damaging the swimmers inside? Or washing them out? I know it sounds silly

@FruitandNutty not sure hun but I can assure you that you aren't going mad because I think of this every month no matter what day I am as well even during af week I worry it's going to have me out next cycle. But that's what ttcing does to you unfortunately

So I’m cycle day 28 and usually would have got af yesterday. It didn’t arrive so I stupidly got my hopes up a little and dreamt about tests all night! Just took a first response and bfn! My cycle might be a little off due to v early loss last month but I ovulated right on time according to opk. I don’t see how I could possibly still have a chance this cycle now and I’m actually gutted. Today would have been my first midwife appointment and I so wanted a bfp to take the edge off! Wishful thinking xx

Awww @Catspajamas85 sending lots of positive thoughts hun

I'm getting excited about this cycle you know the I'm only cd6 but feel like this the month feeling? That's me today. I want this sooooo bad! Giving up wine now I'm determined this month

I'm out - reckon AF is due today or tomorrow, just did a First Response test and got a BFN. Thought I wouldn't be so disappointed, as I kind of knew it would be, but I'm still a bit sad...ah well. next month...

Sorry to hear about your hopes-up Catspajamas. Much hugs :(

Hi all! Not posted in a while do catching up with All the posts! So many BFPs 😊
I'm not sure when or if I've Ovulated. I gave up after 10 days of flashing smiley faces!! I'm on CD28 now, felt sick for a few days last week and headaches, and today have had strange stabbing pains in my stomach. No sore boobs like usual before AF? BFN today.. but not even sure I've ovulated as no EWCM.

Implant came out at beginning of Feb so could be all over the place from that! So hard not knowing where I am in my cycle... will definitely try temping next month!

How does everybody deal with their in-laws when ttc?

Mine are gossiping and speculating and making comments and it's hard to deal with. They always knew that we would start a family as soon as we got married but it's getting obvious it's not happening any time soon.

My SIL has 5 kids... three within two and a half years!! NONE of which were planned or even expected! She's said to me before she is incredibly fertile! (Because I didn't figure that out already).

Just not sure how to palm off their jokes etc about me being pregnant without taking it so personally or snapping!!

Sorry to hear you got bfns catspajamas85 and flyingplum me too. It’s so disappointing.

According to both Ovia and Glow AF was due today. However I’m 14dpo/cd26 today based on opks and my cycles are between 22-30days so could be another 4days I guess? I bet she arrives tomorrow or whenever I go buy more tests!

BFN on Internet cheapie this morning. I had nearly convinced myself yesterday that I was pregnant because I could see faint lines on all —four— the tests I took yesterday. Like you catspajamas I was dreaming of bfps overnight. Hoped to see the line a little darker this morning with fmu. Nope still the same! Pretty sure it’s just the indent line catching my eye.

Trying to stop myself wasting money on more tests when deep down I know it’s just my imagination/wishful thinking!

Sorry to everyone who has gotten BFNs

Is anyone else coming up to their fertile week? I’m following SMEP so started OPKs today, DTD every other day til I get a +OPK. I’ve taken EPO and been knocking back the grapefruit juice so will be interesting to see what the CM situation is in a few days. Feeling a sharp pain in my right side, maybe wishful thinking but could potentially be pre-ovulation pain?

@AaronPurrSir yeah I am...dtd last night so loosely going to follow smep but also cutting out booze. Not doing grapefruit as not noticed a difference. I've stopped temping as well but probably use opks again. Good luck!!

@AaronPurrSir - yes me too. In the fertile widow atm, following SMEP vaguely too. Getting different dates for when to expect ovulation. Fingers and toes crossed for us!

@Dreoak I am struggling with this too. I am TTC #2 and I just get ‘you need to hurry up and have another one’, that the age gap is getting big all the time. We are keeping it private that we are TTC as trying not to put pressure on ourselves, but feel like snapping at them and saying that we are trying to!! I wish it were that simple!!!

Feeling rather blue today. DD is 5 this week and I was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness that she doesn't have a little brother or sister. I always expected there would be one by now and a 5 year age gap feels huge. Had a little cry on the way into work this morning (fortunately I drive, not sitting in the middle of public transport!) Just another stupid PMT symptom though. Expecting AF tomorrow or Thursday then onwards and upwards!

Sorry for BFNs. @Catspajamas85 - I'm the same. I had an early loss last month and the only thing keeping me going this month is the hope of a BFP. I know I'll be crushed if it's negative.

@EverythingNow - have you used other tests? I've always found the ICs don't give very early results at all.

@MissDollyMix sorry you're so down. Have you been TTC long?

My DC is 18 months so I'm starting to get people asking when we're gong to give them a sibling. We always dreamed of a less than 2 year age gap which has gone now.

I think I ovulated yesterday going on OPKs but didn't have much of a temp rise this morning so will try to DTD again tonight to make sure. We've been quite good this month with timing - DH was so gutted about the CP last month.

Anyone testing soon? If I did ovulate yesterday AF will be due 19th March so will probably test 17th.

Thanks @everythingnow. i did another one this morning with FMU, just in case...obvs still negative. Now just waiting for AF to make an appearance. Which I hope is soon because my boobs became massive overnight and I feel like the size of a house!

On the plus side, meant I could have a huge strong coffee this morning and I'm going out to get a bit sozzled tonight... :D

I'm in @SqidgeBum

TTC#1 Cycle 8 and also tried Preseed this month for the first time too!

DH is booked in for his SA this month, I'm due AF on the 12th and currently about 9PDO.

Boobs have been sore earlier than usual but seem to have calmed down now! Don't think I've caught this month but time will tell. I usually get a bit stressed in the 2WW but this one seems to be much easier.

Looking forward to seeing a few BFPs this month. Good luck! X

I’m out 😢. AF has just arrived. Onto cycle 10.

I’m not sure if I’ll stay on the bus as AF next due 31/3.

Good luck everyone xx

@EverythingNow - boo 😒 see you on the April bus hugs

@MissDollyMix

Don't feel blue, it will happen. 5 years is a lovely age gap, your DD will be able to remember her little brother or sister being born. That's a lovely gift to give her. Stay positive. Your baby is on the way xxx

@sodababy2 I haven’t been active since a while ago in this thread / left Feb bus a while ago too. I am so sorry to hear about your CP!! I’ve read a lot though that it does increase fertility next time so FX!

I was having serious “pressure” issues with DH so I had to stop temping etc mid month so I’ve no idea when I ovulated! My period should be due today but I’m a bit all over the place so maybe I ovulated late so it’s late? I’ve told myself if no AF by Sunday I’m going to test then! I’ll keep you all posted, I don’t feel any AF symptoms but at the same time I feel zero pregnancy ones 😫😫

Why do we put ourselves through this! 😂

This is my first post, so hope it's ok to jump in.

I'm TTC #1 and had a MC last month.

This cycle I'm trying Clear Blue advanced digital OPKs. I actually got 10 flashing smilies before a solid smiley on CD24 (Sunday), which seems late. I don't know when to expect AF at this point. I had quite a lot of pain in my lower abdomen around ovulation time, which I don't think I had before the MC (or at least I didn't notice before). I feel quite nervous and keyed up about the whole thing!

Good luck to everyone for BFPs.

Fx for you @sodababy!

I was due af on Sunday and af still hasn’t showed. BFN yesterday first thing and I won’t have any more tests arriving until tomorrow. Don’t know whether this is just a confused cycle after what happened but I have my fx a tiny bit that it might mean something good. If af doesn’t arrive tomorrow, I’ll test Thursday am but deep down I think I’m being way too optimistic and I’m probably out

Sorry to hear you’re out @everythingnow I hope next month Is different x

Ah scratch that-af is here! Relieved just to know actually. Here we go again! Good luck ladies xx

Thanks catspajamas and flyingplum

Sorry to hear AF has got you too cats .

Fingers crossed for April, maybe I’ll do better at temping this time!!
