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!

Congratulations!! @SP84 fantastic news!!

MrsM2017 · 30/04/2018 11:21

Omg! Thats fantastic @SP84! 😁

Alex2790 · 30/04/2018 11:24

@SP84 congrats x

silverpenguin · 30/04/2018 11:26

Ahhh, congratulations @SP84!!! So happy for you Smile

I'm 6DPO and it's taking everything I've got not to POAS....! Fortunately I've only got FRERs in the house so the expense is putting me off. If I had some cheapies I would definitely have tested by now. Even though I know there's zero chance of a BFP at this stage. Why does TTC turn me crazy?

I have a weird bubbly feeling in my tummy today which I'm thinking might be a sign? But who knows!

@SP84 congratulations!

Spottyyellowdress · 30/04/2018 13:25

@silverpenguin 6dpo here too and symptom spotting like mad - tired, dizzy, sore boobs etc etc etc...determined to hold out til I’m late this time but it’s just sooooo far away....

ClumsyFool · 30/04/2018 14:15

Well yesterday’s cramping appears to have subsided so not sure whether af is indeed planning on arriving early or will just appear Thursday as expected, feel very tired today as I usually do just before I start. My mood is the best indicator usually, if I start to feel irrationally irritated by everything or want to cry at anything that breathes then that will be a sure sign she’s about to hit!

MrsY87 · 30/04/2018 14:18

Congrats @SP84!!

I'm due to donate blood on Thurs, I know you shouldn't whilst you are pregnant but is it ok if you are ttc? Anyone know?

kitcatdog · 30/04/2018 14:18

Hi I'm going to jump on if that's ok.

Age: 34
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD 17
6 DPO (ish)
AF Due: 8th May

Is it too early too get symptoms? I've got cramps, mainly on the right hand side, I'm very bloated and have felt a little bit sick yesterday and today. (I have occasional IBS so maybe the slight nausea and bloating can be written off as that). Am I being crazy symptom spotting?

HidCat · 30/04/2018 15:59

@MrsY87 I don't think there are any rules but it can lead to low blood count for about a week so it's personal choice.

ready4number2 · 30/04/2018 16:35

Congratulations @SP84

@LP17 how soon after your positive opk did your temp rise? I had a positive on Saturday morning, but still no temp rise.

LP17 · 30/04/2018 16:57

@ready4number2 Ive attached a pic of my chart so far. I only got one positive OPK this month at 10pm on Thursday. Usually I have OPKs over 2 days but this month there was literally only that one. I don't know what it means but it was then followed by a temp increase on the Friday. I have some temp warnings from FF but I take between 5am - 7am (alarm set for 6.30 but sometimes wake earlier and decided it was best to take it then rather than to do so after disturbed sleep)...

Thanks @HidCat I was thinking it probably came down to personal preference. I've cancelled my appointment as I'll be around 4dpo and wouldn't want it to interfere with my chances if i have been lucky to conceive this cycle.

jaykaydee · 30/04/2018 19:36

Congratulations @SP84!

I think for giving blood I'd be happy to do it on the first half of my cycle but wouldn't be happy doing it during 2ww just in case.

SP84 · 30/04/2018 19:41

Thank you all! xx

Still hasn't sunk in really! Going to do a couple more tests over the next week or so just to make sure it's stuck.

Really hope I can pass my luck onto you lovely ladies @Aph43 :)

starsandstuff · 30/04/2018 20:30

AF finally arrived so I'm officially on, whoop!

My cycles are normally really regular but this last one was 34 days which is long for me. Not sure what happened. Got the copper coil removed on the 19th but as it's not hormonal I'm not sure why it messed with things? Anyway here I go. 🤞

And congrats to all the inspiring BFPs and good luck to everyone else x

trippingoverrainbows · 30/04/2018 21:13

Congratulations@SP84 💕

I'm tearing my hair out now on CD47 and no sign of AF and no BFP. This miscarriage had really messed up my body 😑

Spottyyellowdress · 01/05/2018 07:04

Congrats @sp84! 🎉🎉

@lp17 I’m crap at remembering to take my temp everyday but it’s still really low this month even after having a positive opk and all the usual signs of ov...not holding out much hope! Although at 7dpo I’ve usually starting spotting so maybe that’s something to hold on to.

Owlpatrol · 01/05/2018 07:05

@SP84 congratulations!! Xx

JustLikeTheySaid · 01/05/2018 07:44

Total fail last night when neither of us could make any effort at all to BD. Which then made me cry. Feel like this is never going to happen. Which is a ridiculous thing to say in month 3, I know.

ready4number2 · 01/05/2018 08:56

@LP17 thanks. I've started to see an increase in my temp, the highest reading this morning. But ff still not confirmed ovulation on my chart. Hoping if my temp keeps increasing it will confirm it tomorrow.

Temperature is ever increasing 10dpo. Hoping that's a good sign. Trying to hold off anymore poas until the weekend Blush

I'll be testing tomorrow at 8dpo. Can't hold out any longer! I have a big meeting at work this afternoon which I'm totally dreading. Once that's out of the way I can test as my reward! Haha!

justlike totally normal to worry even when you've only been TTC for a relatively short period of time. It is so stressful. Hope you're ok and you have better luck next time. When are you expecting to ovulate?

LP17 · 01/05/2018 14:45

@ready4number2 before mine did confirm it it was showing me as fertile from the weekend before for various reasons - very confusing. My temp has gone up again this morning. I feel significantly more relaxed about the process knowing that I have definitely ovulated.

@justliketheysaid honestly I think it's very easy to get caught up in the emotion of it all - I am only on cycle 4 and it's felt very stressful and pressurised. Trying to take the pressure off by reminding myself we don't have to BD every night & it only takes one sperm!

@silverpenguin very brave! Let us know how you get on! I will not be POAS until at least 12th May....
