March bus!

[bunhead34]

I thought I'd start a march bus as I'm def out for feb 👹

Ttc #1
Cycle # 9
I'm 34, H 30

Waiting for cd21/thyroid blood test results next week and will go from there. Had good results on my scan last week.
Can't be arsed with opk/spem/conceive plus Or any of that, so taking the month off. Will just be sure to dtd around expected ov 🤷🏼‍♀️
And continuing with acupuncture.

I thought I'd posted here. Turns out I had, ages ago. Popping in with a faint positive last night and this morning. Now to spend the next 9 weeks panicking every time I go for a wee. Will make an effort to check in more often.

Congratulations to the new BFPs and to the negatives.

@ale2992 spotting for that long isn't right... I don't think...
if you don't get your positive opk when you're expecting it I'd see a gp.
🤞🏻 your body is just sorting itself out ready for next time x

Good luck to those still waiting 🤞🤞 xx

AF due today/tomorrow, some cramps this morning but no show yet. Had ridiculously sore boobs for a week (unusual for me) so had hope. POAS this morning with an IC, white as white 😔

Said to hubby last night there was no sign of AF showing her ugly face yet...and he said, it'll probably be tomorrow. Now, that's positivity for you ain't it 😠

@wannabebump awww hope it's a positive sign for you 🤞men eh?

Was it the one step strips? I'm not sure I trust them. When I tested Friday I got a horrible evap..... in the time frame!! I dipped three (😂) so I know it wasn't a positive 🙄 I've heard of them not showing lines too even though ladies are getting positives on other tests xx

Congratulations @dalecooperscoffeecup!

I'm still awaiting AF... Day 32, which is the longest any post-baby cycle has been so far. On my way to take a loooong (13h) international flight on my own with toddler DS, so no doubt she'll strike with horrific bleeding and unimaginable cramps in midair 😂 Hopefully not!

Thank you HappyGoLuckyGo!

@Peachyx2505 I know, men!! I've read a bit more about the one step tests, it's those I bought off amazon (feeds the POAS habit without being expensive 🤣)... AF officially due day, some cramping going on already. If nothing by Fri I'll go buy a branded test 🙂 x

Keeping everything crossed 🤞 Yeah I bought them to instead of pissing money away 😂 but I'm going to be strong this time.... and not test.... at all.... until I've missed two afs 😂😂

@Peachyx2505 I say I'm going to be strong and then it's like I get an itch that I have to scratch... I may just have to accept I'm a POAS addict! Last cycle I managed all the way up to 11DPO though which was good for me!

Err. Okay. What do we think? Should have got a digital one!

Better picture.

Looks a promising thick line 🤞

Eeeek @HappyGoLuckyGo looks positive to me xx

@thosethreewords 11dpo is a mighty good effort.... that was how long I lasted too. Shall try 12dpo this cycle 😂😂

Hmm. Literally dtd once this month!! Surely not?! Will get a frer..

@HappyGoLuckyGo I see it!!!

I've got another one of those tests... So I guess I'll test tomorrow morning and then if there's any ambiguity get a frer. Arghh. I hate uncertainty. The timing is actually less than ideal, despite my presence on this bus!

Anyone else testing tomorrow??

Due tomorrow and feeling like I'm definitely coming on. Feeling incredibly gutted which I was not prepared for

@Givealittlebit I can relate to feeling shit unexpectedly. Me and DH started trying "again" this last cycle at the end of my FW when previously we've been avoiding during FW and even though we only DTD once in the end, I was gutted on Tuesday when AF came.... despite it being not a shock.
Accept the sad feelings for a bit, and then try and focus on the next cycle. I've got a list on my phone of why I'm grateful I'm not pregnant yet. Featuring: saving at least another £500 more money by the time baby comes, can have a drink at a party next week etc etc. I try and look at this when I feel sad!!

@thosethreewords that's a good way to approach it I think!AF arrived this morning so I'm moving on 👋

Sorry to hear some are having a rough time, it can be so demoralising...

I think this is a positive but it's still so faint- surprisingly so for what would be 4+5?

@HappyGoLuckyGo I think you need a digital 😉 xx

I'm keeping Clearblue in business, it seems! I guess I'll get another test for tomorrow, frer or digital? Meant to be having my smear tomorrow and I don't think they can do it if you're pregnant? Tempted to go anyway and let the nurse tell me whether it's a positive 😂

@HappyGoLuckyGo that looks positive to me! Tentative congrats x

I'm driving myself nuts today. Had IC one step things from Amazon which have been white as white, not even a hint of a BFP. My boobs have been sore now for over a week, whereas PMS would usually just give me really sore nipples only. Back and side twinges etc, AF due Tuesday/yesterday and nothing, so actually "late". A bit of cramping today but still nothing, feels a bit wet though (sorry TMI) so I'm back and forth to the loo like a maniac. Holding off going for a real test cause no doubt as soon as I POAS she'll show her ugly face. 😭😭😭

@wannabebump that sounds so promising!! I really hope it's just the tests that aren't picking it up. Could you try a FRER tomorrow? You said it yourself, you are usually regular and you are late!

@HappyGoLuckyGo you are right they won't do a smear, but also bear in mind the tests they do in GP aren't as sensitive as a lot of the other ones so I wouldn't guarantee you would get any further. Try a digital tomorrow - but honestly, I think your line looks good 👌
