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!

Joining you! We're on our second month ttc, husband has retrograde ejaculation due to type 1 diabetic nerve damage, so we have to do ai rather than sex.
Using clearblue dual hormone opks to give us the best chance of catching the right day. Currently on day 3 of flashing smily face, so constant sexy times here on in!

Alex2790 · 03/05/2018 23:03

@Alex2790 sorry to hear. It’s awful isn’t it! It’s so hard to be happy for someone when secretly you’re just so envious. Chin up babe. Our time will come xx

Alex2790 · 03/05/2018 23:14

@babybeany exactly i waslike congrats but secretly like wtf already why cant it happen for me that quick. Fingers crossed for us this month. Started taking vit B6 hoping helps x

Spottyyellowdress · 04/05/2018 06:20

@silverpenguin glad it’s not just me! Doctors aren’t particularly worried about the spotting for some reason - scans and blood tests are because it’s 10months of ttc plus every 3 months without fail I have a period which makes me faint, vom and spend at least two days in the worst pain I’ve ever felt - and this times I bleed for two weeks straight. Sick of being told it’s ‘normal’.

Day 21 tests for progesterone levels to check you’re ovulating.

jaykaydee · 04/05/2018 06:34

Great to see some BFPs coming in. Congratulations!

I'm holding out testing until tomorrow if AF hadn't appeared. Not hopeful though, I've got all the right symptoms for AF.

MrsM2017 · 04/05/2018 07:46

Aw congratulations on a the bfps Smile

AF due today for me, but strangely no usual symptoms of her arrival, so I caved (for the first time in 6 months of trying!) and took an expensive frer.....bfn. Not even a hope of a line. Feeling very sorry for myself right now.
Going on holiday in a couple of weeks though so going to try and take my mind off all this TTC stress.

Morning all! Have been AWOL this month for various reasons, but lovely jumping back in to see some BFPs Grin

I'm currently either 4dpo or in an anovulatory cycle this time (Temping and charting has all gone to pot this month). Strangely not driving myself mad this TWW as I haven't been obsessing with keeping an eye on things!

AF due 13th so waiting until then to POAS should she not arrive on time!

Wingingit321 · 04/05/2018 08:18

I’m due the 13th too

clairehr · 04/05/2018 08:24

@wingingit321 Love a cycle buddy! Are you waiting until then to test, or will it be before?

LP17 · 04/05/2018 08:53

@clairehr welcome back! @wingingit321 I'm due on the 12th - waiting til then! Temping has been going quite well too :)

Wingingit321 · 04/05/2018 09:15

It’s unlikely I’ll be able to hold out to test! you?

stegosauruslady · 04/05/2018 09:31

How much do we all hate it when we waste our FMU on a test that doesn't work? Fucking thing, no control line and a blob of dye in the test window.

I'm going to the shops later so will pick up more tests for tomorrow. I actually feel pretty hopeful this month.

I recognise some names...hope we all get BFPs on this bus! Smile

MrsM2017 · 04/05/2018 09:33

Aw that sucks @stegosauruslady - fingers crossed for a BFP for you Smile

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/05/2018 10:10

@bubblybrit How are you doing? @xlauraa How are you doing?

It's cd3 here for me. I started clomid last night so fingers crossed! x

Countrygirl94 · 04/05/2018 10:49

@MrsM2017 Sorry you've had a BFN. 💕

Well after having some spotting (like literally only when I wiped sorry for tmi) Wednesday night and Thursday morning I was fully expecting AF to be in full flow but I now have nothing. AF is due today, though not unusual to be a bit late.
Someone tell me that testing tonight would be a waste of a FERR

Miserablemouse · 04/05/2018 11:13

Congrats on the BFPs and sorry about the BFNs Sad
I've been testing stupidly early because I'm a sucker, and all BFN so far. Think I'm 10dpo today. Stupidly bloated, gassy and constipated and effing Ovia keeps telling me that "19% of people who logged a positive pregnancy test recorded constipation" so I have 100% gotten my hopes up when I just know I'm going to be gutted again on Tuesday when AF turns up. WAH WAH WAH. rant over, sorry

Countrygirl if I were you I'd be tempted to test tonight but if you're worried about wasting it maybe try sitting on your hands until tomorrow morning? Then AF will definitely be late?

LP17 · 04/05/2018 11:21

@Wingingit Luckily for me, my husband has the tests in his boot to stop me randomly POAS as I work from home most days, so it will have to be with his agreement Grin and that is not a day before AF is due to arrive! Also can't stand a BFN so avoid testing early anyway.

@countrygirl94 save your FRER for your FMU. Fingers crossed!

@MiserableMouse I've also just noticed that feature on FF app and now want to delete the whole thing before it turns into a bloody obsession!! Very difficult as some people get certain symptoms, some dont get any at all. I'm trying not to read too much into anything.

I'm 7DPO today and going on a girls weekend in Europe so that should distract me from symptom spotting until next week anyway!

Countrygirl94 · 04/05/2018 11:31

@Miserablemouse Ovia is a soul destroyer for those stupid percentage things. That's why I've tried to avoid putting symptoms in though not easy. I'll have fingers crossed for you AF doesn't arrive.
Also hate that they don't have a just nausea symptom it's morning sickness/nausea. No I don't wanna log morning sickness i just wanna log that I feel sick don't assume ovia! sorry now I'm ranting.
Last night I had the worse stomach pains ever, thought there was something seriously was wrong, then this morning sorry for tmi I had diarrhoea and am getting waves of nausea. Half of me says it's a bug, other half says no period so test!

Miserablemouse · 04/05/2018 11:40

Ohhh Countrygirl that sounds promising! Eek, fingers crossed. Maybe hold out for tomorrow so you can use precious FMU on the equally precious FRER?

LP The apps are such a pain aren't they. I had a couple of months of not tracking anything/ no temping/ no OPKs because it was all getting a bit much, but I feel like I might miss out on potentially useful data so I'm back using them now.

Countrygirl94 · 04/05/2018 11:48

@Miserablemouse I'll hold out till morning. 🤞

@LP17 enjoy your weekend! Defiantly a good way to distract from testing early or symptom spotting.

MrsM2017 · 04/05/2018 11:53

Thanks @Countrygirl94 Flowers

I'd save the frer for tomorrow morning! Fingers crossed for you!

LP17 · 04/05/2018 11:57

@Miserable This month is the first time I have used an app/temping. The very first month we DTD every day for about 2 weeks which was not sustainable...the next 2 months I was just using OPKs but was worried as they don't actually confirm ovulation. Now I have data that shows I have ovulated and it's slightly different to previous months so who knows. I don't want to add anything else into the mix..though I'm not sure what's left GrinBlush

silverpenguin · 04/05/2018 15:44

My internet cheapies arrives today so I've POASing like a crazy woman - three so far today. Send help! And all BFNs. I don't even feel that hopeful this month but every time I go to the bathroom I see the tests and think "what if...?"

Next month I will be more restrained!
