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.

Hi, jumping on the bus too :)
I am new to this, getting the hang of it but not sure of all the codes yet.

Age 32
TTC #1
Cycle 2
AF due 14th March

Have a tracker app, which I have been using for about 4 months now, but not doing any other checks ie ovulation tests / temp etc.

Good luck everyone and hope we all get the BFPs we're hoping for xx

ronniemipperton · 20/02/2019 07:59

As well as still being ill myself (temperature is astronomical) I’ve now given DH the flu as well and I’ve just got peak on an OPK so going to have to find the energy to dtd somehow... this is going to be interesting (/disgusting)...

HappyGoLuckyGo · 20/02/2019 14:44

Spooning is your friend, @ronnie Grin Minimum effort for maximum result!

Peachyx2505 · 20/02/2019 17:05

What @HappyGoLuckyGo said! 😂😂 hope you both feel better @ronniemipperton xx

Hi to the new ladies. 🤞🤞 all round! Xx

I had my OPKs arrive today, just going to use the strips for now. Really interested in seeing what my single ovary is up to in there..... I had 4 tumour/cysts removed and my left ovary and tube last July.
I've read so much about having one ovary. Some say it takes over from the missing one and releases every month, others say every other month. Also read success stories of having a dermoid cyst removed (do not google unless you love gruesome disgusting things) and conceiving with no issues and also people who've gone on to have issues.

I've also have problems with my blood. One was discovered during my last pregnancy. Neither affected me last time but I'm worried that they might this time.

Lesson for today......Step away from google Peachy 😂

Hi lovely ladies mind if I jump on the March bus with you all?

I was on the Feb bus but AF arrived 3days late today. Feel like my body is trolling me.

Hi ladies,

Jumping on the bus!

Age 31
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD 19
AF due 3rd March (fully expected too! Not sure of dates, app telling me FW was one thing, body saying another - I think - and full on flu over everything so a high temp messing up my BBT tracking. So I’m ready and prepared for cycle 2.)

HappyGoLuckyGo · 21/02/2019 13:15

Roughly even spread of those TTC #1 and #2!

I woke up this morning full of doubts about number 2... Number 1 has been sleeping so well lately, and we’re about to uproot back to the U.K. ((currently living in S America), get baby adjusted to nursery, I’ll be going back to work... maybe now isn’t the right time after all... Argh!

Need to reach a conclusion before I see DH on the weekend and next week (we’re away from him atm, visiting family) and FW starts! 😂 But at least the bus has got me thinking about it properly!

Hope everyone who has been ill is feeling better. Does everyone temp/use opks? I never bothered with DS...

Peachyx2505 · 21/02/2019 18:49

@HappyGoLuckyGo I didn't use anything with DS.... but I had two ovaries back then. Doing the opk this time is just to ease my worries x

joylondon · 21/02/2019 19:55

Hey everyone,

Joining from feb bus today. Af arrived on CD 34 🙄 . Hoping for an earlier O date this month- last month it was CD21, hence the longer cycle I'm guessing.

TTC: #1
AF Due: 1st March

Leleophants · 21/02/2019 22:32

Already got a BFN although will be testing again in a few days.

Tempted to try OPK but have no idea how they work and wouldn't know where to start. Also which preseed?

Also - Christmas babies!

raspberrylime123 · 22/02/2019 00:12

Jumping on the March bus. AF came 5 days early this cycle, seems like POAS brings it on it’s so cruel!

Age 21
Ttc 1
Af due 18 March
Cycle 6

HappyGoLuckyGo · 22/02/2019 00:24

@Leleophants DS was a late Jan baby (hours off being a Feb baby!) and it was an excellent time to be pregnant. I did not envy my friend who was due during last year’s heatwave- much better to do the end of the pregnancy in winter, in my view!

HeartvsHead · 22/02/2019 08:40

Morning,

Age: 31
TTC: #2
AF due 8-12th March
Been trying since Sept but have long cycles (35-39 days) so only cycle 5 despite it feeling like an eternity.

@Leleophants I'm using OPKs for the first time this month just for a bit of reassurance. My DH is up for dtd every other day throughout the month but they help you pinpoint ov but detecting your LH surge (the hormone that cause the release of the egg). Mean you can dtd more around ovulation.

lori2019 · 22/02/2019 08:52

Hello ladies,

May I join you?

TTC #1
Cycle 2
Due AF 10 March
Age 34

Used OPK last month but they made me over think and found the ttw so stressful so we decided this month to go back to the old fashioned way and are just having a lot of sexy time 🤷‍♀️ 😂

CoachBombay · 22/02/2019 12:14

Afternoon hope you don't mind me joining. I'm just awaiting AF this evening/tomorrow now. BFN at 14dpo.

Last month was a Clomid cycle but we're going to take a break with that and this time no OPK's. But I have decided to give BBT charts a go this month and see how we get on.

Been TTC #2 for over 2 years now! 🙈

mrsawhite · 22/02/2019 13:21

Hello!

Hope it's ok to join. I am in fertile window at the mo. Didn't happen for us last month. So fingers crossed for this one. Would be due AF around 9th March. Going away this weekend for a night of luxury to take our minds off it (and hopefully encourage BFP for March 😁)

wannabebump · 22/02/2019 13:24

Can I join please?

Fell off the Feb bus yesterday as AF showed her ugly face 😪

TTC #1
CD2
Cycle 4

Baby dust to us all xx

Hanni1234 · 22/02/2019 13:46

Hi I’m going to hop in this bus!

TTC#1
Cycle 3 or 4 after MC in November.
I’m 1dpo today, ovulated earlier than I have been doing, my ov pains were so bad yesterday.
AF due probably around the 8th March
Fingers crossed for everyone!!

Peachyx2505 · 22/02/2019 18:47

Hi to the new ladies! 🤞🤞 for you. Hoping this is a lucky thread for all xx

FilthyforFirth · 23/02/2019 08:40

I'm also out for Feb. AF had the audacity to arrive 2 days early, I am usually like clockwork, on the 20th. So due AF 20-22 of March.

34, TTC #2, cycle 5.

Husband has ED issues so not holding out much hope and also looking into adoption. Will try viagra this month...

ronniemipperton · 23/02/2019 09:36

Welcome all!

Well we managed to dtd the day before ov I think (thanks for the spooning tip @HappyGoLuckyGo 😂) - that’ll have to do. Not feeling wildly optimistic, I can’t imagine my body’s been a particularly welcoming environment this week...

I managed to stop myself ovulating for years by exercising too much (well, I didn’t think it was too much, wasn’t underweight but my body said it was). Am now considering taking up running/cycling again in an attempt to postpone next month’s ovulation - as things stand it’s going to be while DH is away. Probably not a good idea but I’m kind of curious to see if it works...

Boonejii · 23/02/2019 10:37

Getting on the bus!

TTC #1
Cycle 2 (or 1? Who knows?)
Cd 3

I came off cerazette in December after about 8 years of no AF, had a breakthrough bleed in January and AF appeared 33 days after that this week! Glad to see AF after worrying it’s been so long it might not work anymore Hmm
Will have to see how my cycles play out. First cycle of actively trying as I’ve been on 5 months of 5000mcg folic acid, vit D, and b12 injections and Doctor has now given me the go ahead Grin

MilkyMum23 · 23/02/2019 23:46

I would like to get on the bus too please!

TTC #2
Cycle 3
AF due today and hasn't arrived

Had DS in October 2017 but AF only came back in December 2018. Still BFing DS morning and evening so think that's why it took so long. Hoping to continue to BF morning and evening as long as possible.

We have been trying half heartedly since September but properly decided to go for it in January. Already feeling impatient as it only took 4 months to conceive DS once we had decided so hoping for similar this time!

Have been taking Pregnacare for Breastfeeding since DS was born & have been taking the Seven Seas conception for about 3 weeks.

Baby dust to all! Smile

sukisydney · 24/02/2019 02:35

Hello, jumping on too!
Age 37
TTC #3
Cycle 2
AF due 18th March (ish)
Had a chemical pregnancy last cycle - watched my BFP get stronger over 5 days before abruptly going BFN. Bit of a shock but have dusted myself off ready for some more TTC Grin!
Nice to be on the bus with you all, fingers crossed for everyone this month!
