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!

@spottyyellowdress I'm sorry! Hopefully they'll be able to shed a bit of light on it for you tomorrow??

Spottyyellowdress · 09/05/2018 19:55

@lp17 can’t get an appointment til next Thursday! 😭 Imagine all the stress wine I will get through in that time!

Nillynally · 09/05/2018 20:04

I'm out. I think AFs come early and two BFNs this week! Maybe next time!

clairehr · 09/05/2018 20:11

@LP17 Yes, at least you can have a clearer picture of when to DTD as well Grin

Doing ok here, not hopeful this month as been so stressed! We danced at the right time, and still have fingers crossed, but I just wouldn't be surprised to see AF arrive bang on time!

Owlpatrol · 09/05/2018 20:18

Hi ladies sorry I've been totally AWOL on this board I've been trying to actually "chill" this month....until the symptom spotting starts lol!!! Anyway decided not to temp or use opks so totally guess work and listening to my body I am currently 1dpo Smile have dtd twice in fw but staying positive. Still waiting for blood result so I will report back. Good luck everyone in the tww xx

LP17 · 09/05/2018 21:16

@spottyyellowdress oh next Thursday!!! What a pain - lots of self-care in that time - walking, baths, reading and stress wine????

@clairehr my stress levels are so high it's a joke I don't think we will stand a chance of BFP until stupid house extension finished and fuck knows when that will be! Fingers crossed for you x

JustLikeTheySaid · 09/05/2018 21:20

Supposed to be 3DPO but I've still got lots of EWCM so I am wondering if because my temps are all over the place Fertility Friend has got it wrong :S

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to find out either way.

ClumsyFool · 10/05/2018 05:28

I’m out, woke up to the arrival of af, one full week late, I was pretty sure it was coming today as I got on the scales yesterday and had put on 2lb overnight, which has again disappeared this morning, was exhausted all day and last night I cried my eyes out for a good hour.
Until I was late I felt pretty relaxed this cycle as I wasn’t expecting anything so being 7 days late gave me false hope and was pretty mean. So I’ll be hopping on the June bus and starting again. Fx to everyone else.

clairehr · 10/05/2018 07:46

@LP17 sigh Stress is such a b! Maybe we just need to count these months as practice! How long do you think the extension will take? Is there any way of getting away from it all for a week (FW) to try and let your body relax?

Babybeany · 10/05/2018 08:07

Sorry AF got you @ClumsyFool
I have been feeling really positive this cycle until this morning. I’m not due af until Tuesday but I’ve just got this feeling she’ll turn up bang on time. I caved yesterday and POAS which of course was a bfn! Onto cycle 10! See you all on the June bus! 🚌x

LP17 · 10/05/2018 13:04

@clairehr extension was meant to be finished in about 4 weeks time. Realistically I think it's going to be at least another 9...or it will never end Angry Tempted to pack in TTC honestly I think the stress of the extension added to TTC stress means I'm never fully relaxed!

@ClumsyFool unreal - I would feel exactly the same. I'm very sorry - see you on the June bus.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you @babybeany but otherwise see you on the June bus.

Spottyyellowdress · 10/05/2018 13:40

@lp17 yep, got to just put it out of my mind until then - even asked if someone could just phone me to explain what it meant but they’re totally booked up - it might be that I just need it redoing and I don’t want to spend a week crying over nothing!

xLauraa · 10/05/2018 13:49

@Spottyyellowdress So your day 21 bloods being dissatisfactory doesn't necessarily mean you're not ovulating. This could mean you just ovulate less frequently than someone who ovulated regularly. Luckily, they have meds now to help with Ovulation so it's not the end of the world. You still have steps to take IF it is that you're not ovulating/ as often. At least you have answers now rather than just spending another year not conceiving and not knowing why.

It's really important to look at the positives or you'll just make yourself really miserable and stressed. And we all know that if there's ever one thing that will make you not be able to conceive, it is stress!
Look forward to the appointment to see what's happening rather than worry. You can't worry about something that hasn't happened yet!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 10/05/2018 16:57

8 or 9dpo today and only a vvvvvvvfl on ic if at all. Feel like af is coming soon so ah well. Had ewcm today too so checked on my ov monitor but not ov again or anything. Gah.

GreedyVegan · 10/05/2018 19:57

Think I'm out this month already. Dh is crazy busy with a gig every single day for the next two weeks. So I will only manage sex tomorrow day and
not over the weekend . I've got my presead, clear blue sticks and grapefruit juice though Grin

winterwarmers · 11/05/2018 05:38

cd21 and i finally had a temp rise hopefully the vit b6 will help and my lp will be long enough fx

clairehr · 11/05/2018 06:20

@LP17 Oh boy! Sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I guess you just need to weigh up how the stress of both is making you feel. I'm one of those people who count everything in cycles now - I.E. 9 weeks for me would be 2 cycles which makes it sound more manageable somehow 😂 TTC brain is funny!

clairehr · 11/05/2018 06:21

Fingers crossed for you @winterwarmers Smile

goneswimming · 11/05/2018 07:11

I'm an idiot...5dpo and I couldn't resist an ic, which was obviously negative. I hate waiting!

Spottyyellowdress · 11/05/2018 07:15

@xLauraa Thanks so much for that - just what I needed to hear.

xLauraa · 11/05/2018 07:35

@Spottyyellowdress you'll feel much better when you've been to see them! It's hard in the "not knowing" stages of the journey!

@winterwarmers I've taken B6 everyday since you've said too so it will be interesting to see what's what this month

Babybeany · 11/05/2018 07:39

@MaGratgarlik1983 could any of that be symptoms?
I am symptom spotting like a crazy girl! I’ve had cramps since 2-3dpo currently on 10-11 dpo. Burping ludicrously since yesterday! 🙊 Temperature has stayed fairly high too although this is the first time taking bbt. Might cave and buy some FRERs today. X

BuntyII · 11/05/2018 08:13

Can I join the bus please Smile

32
ttc #2
Cycle 1
AF due 27 May

Dtd last night and today is CD 13 so fingers crossed! Don't see any ewcm yet so will try to fit in another go over the weekend Blush

Babybeany · 11/05/2018 08:39

Welcome aboard @BuntyII 😊

LP17 · 11/05/2018 09:14

@spottyyellowdress @xLauraa advice is spot on. Feel like I could apply it to my own situation fretting about our ability to conceive.

@clairehr the builder thinks it won't be much longer than the original 4 weeks left on the project to get it done, but he is never here and doesn't have a clue. We are moving in with the ILs soon as they are going to be making a big mess inside. So that might be good for my mental health but not so much for DTD...although on FF I can see my FW in June coming up just as the ILs are going on holiday Grin
