I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

@Babybeany AF due on the 17th for me so just after you. Not going to test until I'm several days late though.

silverpenguin · 29/04/2018 16:55

MrsY87 I'm going to test on 8dpo, which is this Wednesday. It's probably a bit early still but realistically I won't be able to wait any longer than that! Like you I'm a POAS addict..

Magratgarlick1983 congratulations on TTC Smile my DH was similar, was a bit on the fence about trying for another as he found it quite tough when DD was very young. He's totally sold now though, more than me I think!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 29/04/2018 17:06

Thanks ladies! I usually ov around this point in the cycle but neg ov tests... Got ewcm today though and cramps.

Aph413 · 29/04/2018 17:29

@GreedyVegan I feel you there. I sew and crochet baby clothes and blankets. Currently halfway through a commission and all I want to do is keep it. I think it makes my broodiness worse!

@APH413 I'm glad it's not just me. I couldn't crochet or knit when I had my children so I really want to wrap my own baby up in an blanket I've made.

Thanks @HidCat

I think I must be starting to come into my fertile window now. Lots of BD to come. The pressure feels pretty high.

ClumsyFool · 29/04/2018 21:29

I don’t know if af is planning to arrive early? CD21 and I’d assumed it would be another 24 day cycle but I’ve been having period like cramps tonight which usually only happens an hour or so before my period starts. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not coming but I wouldn’t be too surprised now if it does 😩

sailorcherrie · 29/04/2018 22:49

The sensitive boobs are back - I always get a little optimistic when this happens hoping it's a good sign, however, trying to be realistic that I've previously had this for the week before my period.

I've found using the clear blue ovulation tests a bit confusing (high fertility CD12-14 then CD20 through to and including today CD27) but have read that a lot of ladies have some weird reading the first month then the 2nd month is more accurate.

With coming off the pill and not having a settled cycle I don't know exactly when AF is due so if I'm going to have a 28 day cycle then it'll be tomorrow or if it's going to be a 35 day cycle then it'll be 7th of May.

Obviously hoping that it doesn't come at all and I get a BFP instead but I'll take my period coming back before another 118 day cycle as a win!

First month ttc, i know it may take a while but already starting to become obsessed which i know is crazy! Xxx

jaykaydee · 30/04/2018 06:34

I've gone from stupidly early symptom spotting to not feeling very optimistic at all. I had some random spotting over the weekend but 5 and 6dpo so too early to be anything linked to implantation. A quick bit of googling doesn't rate it as a good sign Sad

LP17 · 30/04/2018 07:34

@BabyBeany hi again! I think BFP due around 12th May for me but could be up to the 15th as my cycles have varied between 29-29 days. Today I'm 3dpo - first month tracking BBT. Feeling more relaxed this month as our extension has started to go well. Fingers crossed for us all!

JustLikeTheySaid · 30/04/2018 07:54

High fertility today according to the clearblue monitor. Only CD11 so it seems a bit early?

SP84 · 30/04/2018 08:33

Morning ladies, not been in here for a few days as work took over last week and we had visitors at the weekend.

Thought I'd share my good news this morning - I caved and POAS this morning and got a BFP!!! Did a Tesco (blue dye) one first, as I'm only 11/12DPO and was more satisfying my craving for POAS and expecting a BFN, but then it came up as a really faint positive (doesn't really show on photo but does IRL). So then I busted out the big guns and used a FRER = definite +ve!

Fx for a sticky bean, eh?! And fx for lots more BFPs to come on the May bus!

Congratulations! Fantastic news Smile

SP84 · 30/04/2018 09:00

Thank you @GreedyVegan :) We're super pleased and excited! I was worried it might take a while as I'm nearly 34 and hubby is 38 but boom, cycle 3 win. Hope you get yours soon :)

Countrygirl94 · 30/04/2018 09:24

@SP84 congratulations! 💕 that is certainly one way to beat the Monday blues!

GreedyVegan · 30/04/2018 09:32

I'm 33, so I hope I'm as lucky as you and it won't take too long.

SP84 · 30/04/2018 10:04

Thanks @Countrygirl94! It sure is a good way to beat Monday blues! Am now completely and thoroughly distracted from work... And because I'm self employed and work from home there's no stopping me googling anything and everything early preg related...! Hope you get your BFP soon too x

SP84 · 30/04/2018 10:05

@GreedyVegan fingers crossed for you x

Wingingit321 · 30/04/2018 10:24

First positive opk today! Whoop

LP17 · 30/04/2018 10:43

@justliketheysaid this month I had a positive OPK at CD11 and ovd CD12 (confirmed through temping) - earlier than previous cycles, so I guess it can happen.

Aph413 · 30/04/2018 11:11

Congratulations @SP84 fingers crossed you pass on your luck to the rest of us!
