February Bus :-)

[Elmlee]

Hey ladies,

Posted on a few threads but think it's about the time I might know what I'm sorta on about! Ha!

Looking for some TTC Buddies I can what's app :-)

A bit about me, I'm 28.. 29 in April.. my husband is a year younger than me. We've been married just over a year and together for 9 years this July.

I came off the pill Cerelle 24th November after years of the pill then implant and then the pill again. Never had periods on any. Just a few withdrawals when I missed a few pills.

Anyway! Been actively TTC since my withdrawal bleed 25-29th November.

Finally after a December of no Flo she's arrived today. So finally I can accurately start trying to track on Ovia!

What's your story?

@MimiArm its definitely out of ther norm for me yes. The temp thing isn't actually ideal because I keep not sleeping! Last night I woke at 1am, 4am and then the alarm went off just after 6.30am. So not only is it hard to take it at the same time every day (sometimes I wake at 6am), but I've not even had the 4 hours continuous sleep that you are meant to! At 4am it was low still though.

@MimiArm oh no. Bloody AF. But at least you can track now. And we'll be due similar times next month too! Lol. Mine is due this weekend.

So it seems that AF has made an appearance 4days early this morning (making this a 25day cycle) which does sort of make sense as I am almost certain I Ov really early this month. BUT according to my app if it goes back to my usual cycle length next time im due back on in the last few days of Feb - so I get to stay on at the back of the bus at least!

@MimiArm @talcott2007 sorry to hear AF has arrived :( But yes, you now know your cycle lengths!

8dpo....trying to hold out until Saturday.AF due next Wednesday ...

@geauxtigers depends on your cycle length. I would say, start testing 5 days before you think you will ovulate as a rough guide. If it’s CB digital...it will pick up with flashing smileys

@Talcott2007 The apps always go with your average. So if usually say a 27 day cycle, they'll assume that for next time, because a random short/long one does just sometimes happen. Definitely track ovulation. I usually ovulate around day 13 but it was 11 this month just gone. So I knew AF would be due earlier and it be a slightly shorter cycle.

@paintfairy Yes it was! Spooky...

@littletandme I also had the BFP dream last night, it's been my little TWW treat for the last couple of cycles now. Mean, isn't it?

Sorry to hear that @MimiArm and @Talcott2007. Onwards and upwards!

Thanks for the link @MrsTwentySeven, it's really interesting! And it's talked me out of testing before AF's due

Morning ladies. So I had the most vivid dream I've ever had in my life.
I've been feeling nauseous boobs hurt to the touch and my lady garden feels swollen and different scent. I'm testing again this morning hopefully I'll have a completely clear and bold positive

@notetaker hilarious! 😂 I did actually read on the 2ww symptoms page (linked somewhere on this thread) someone listed a pain in their knee. Cracked me up. Saying that, mine has gone now? Random. Lol.

Sorry @MimiArm and @Talcott2007 ☹️ Pretty sure I’ll be joining the back of the bus soon 😂 (it’s where the cool kids are and we can smoke) did another PT first thing (11DPO) and it was a huge BFN. I know I’m not out yet but I’m certainly walking down the aisle 😂😂

@paintfairy Well I've definitely logged it in my app as as symptom so... 😂 But yes, mine's gone too!

@2020wisher @MimiArm @Talcott2007 Feeling sad at the thought of the bus being split up!

Thanks ladies. I could delude myself that it might be implantation bleeding but I really don't think that it is!

@MimiArm @talcott2007 sorry to hear af showed up, ill be joining you on the bus though i think. I caved and tested, absolutely BFN, not the slightest hint of a line. Roll on valentines weekend 😂😂 how is everyone else? Xx

I think you'll have to start new 'Feb back of the bus' thread, once we all get that far! Lol.

I've got a really bad headache.

@Hatepickinganame maybe it was just too early? Its probably best not testing? It's torture either way! 😩

@paintfairy maybe. I will defo not test again unless af is late. In other news ive woken up with a horrendous eye infection and spent the last 20 mins finding my glasses cause theres no way i can manage contacts today 😂

@Hatepickinganame me too- no more testing. We haven’t got long to go x

@2020wisher no we dont. And to be fair im pretty sure it didnt happen this time. Already thinking ahead to next cycle, going to ditch the constant checking for ewcm, and checking my app (i had two and ive deleted one already) so will just dtd whenever we want to and see if we get lucky. Im a firm believer in if it's meant to be, it will be x

Is having 5 apps considered excessive? Asking for a friend! 😂

Funny how we all deem ourselves out already. I mean- surely someone must have managed it! I can't believe I've spent my whole life being paranoid about not getting pregnant. I know people who have done it accidentally? I mean, how?!

10DPO here and am a fan of @MimiArm 's line of thinking - if I were pregnant I could quite probably show a bfp by now but would rather wait another 5 days for AF to show or not show. Especially as I should have had implantation by now and I have NO symptoms so I suspect I am out this month. I'd rather get AF than see a BFN.

@paintfairy im one of those people! 3 kids conceived on the pill with pcos. And now 2 full cycles without ANY contraceptive and i dont think im pregnant. I have no idea how that works. Maybe i should go back on the pill 😂

@Supper16 im with you on that now. Depsite thinking im not, you can help but hope while you wait for the test to develop 🙄

@paintfairy I know, the odds of getting pregnant accidentally must be minutely low!

In a way, I wish I knew less than I do now. I used to think you could get pregnant at any time of the month other than on your period (I know, silly me! ) and that you would only really suspect a pregnancy if AF didn't show. I was blissfully aware of the TWW and the wondering and symptom checking!

@Hatepickinganame I do keep thinking I'll stop obsessively tracking, but then I'm not sure the control freak in me could let go 😂

Conversation in the office this afternoon: "We need to make a list of staff likely to get pregnant in the next couple of years so that we can plan for covering maternity leave."
Followed by a lengthy discussion about different staff members.
And then, "What do you think, @notetaker?"

@notetaker OMG! How can they sit predicting that?

You should have replied- yeah, chance would be a fine thing. 😂

So FF has rescinded my crosshairs. Gutted! I thought ov was a good sign. Now back in no mans land!!
Hope the people near you testing get BFPs

Just checking in.

Find it quite amusing that the negative side of getting a positive is leaving the bus 😂
Sorry to everyone who's AF has creeped up on them. Crack open that wine! X

Some nice sharp shooting pains through my lower back, right side of groin and leg today. Let me know I was still alive.

Now my app has brought me a day ahead I get to test quicker but I still highly doubt anything.
Started my BBT aswell which I think is fascinating. 36.6 this morning. Whats a usual range when it's on its way up?
