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?

Here's my chart with the cover line...

@Anon87 well done for not testing! Im tempted to do another even though im sure this is af symptoms now 🤣

Cd 22, around 11dpo... stomach cramps, sore boobs, feel sick. All usual af stuff right on time! It really does suck that all the symptoms are the same!

@Anon87 I think I'll do a cheapie test tomorrow, you're a much stronger woman than I am!

It definitely sucks the symptoms all the same. It also sucks that the months you are TTC - the symptoms seem to be a little bit different! Aaarrrggghhh. My boobs usually always hurt right up to AF. But nothing for the last couple of days, for example. Cruel!

Anyway - AF due today for me. Although I do wonder if it might be tomorrow (yeah make me wait) because today is slightly too early I feel (I did ovulate early, but even so). Anyway- we shall see! Temp remains at 36.60 so I'm beginning to wonder if that's broken. 😂 I'm not temping next time I don't think. Too stressful. I'd rather symptom spot. 🙄 Actually it's useful to be fair, but being anxious about taking it every morning, I think was causing me not to sleep. So best avoided.

So I caved and tested with a FRER ... BFN

I'm only 9DPO but I'm not getting any hopes up.

I've ordered more off amazon (thank gawd for same day delivery), but no more POAS until Monday morning!!

@paintfairy yeah the varying symptoms are cruel too. I'm the same actually with the sleep thing, I wake up early when doing opks thinking I've got to do them. All too stressful!

So how's this gonna work are we making a March bus or changing the name of this one so can all stay on same thread? Sorry if I've missed this convo...

@professorastrocat I read you shouldn't do OPKs first thing? So that might help there! Lol. I was doing them at like 10am? So that was fine. The temping though massively stressed me.

I don't think a new thread has been discussed? I didn't see anything anyway.

Morning all! It’s a bright , beautiful Saturday and let’s all smile about that!
@NChangeForNoReason I’m so sorry to hear but like you’ve all told me...9DPO is too early to test so hope is still there! And I think I’m 9DPO today if I’m honest ....btw I tested again 😂Of course BFN! I have no more FRERs left so I can’t test anyway. But I may as well wait for Aunty to arrive Wednesday.

@Hatepickinganame you’re sooooo amazing for not testing yet!!!

Welcome newbies

Hello @Bumblebee413 such a lovely intro post! ❤️

Don’t think I’ll catch up with everything...
Sorry to anyone who had a BFN 😕 @Jellybean252 ?
But we have this thread to take us forward! Do we start a new thread calling it February bus part 2

I think we can have up to 1000 posts can't we? But then yes, we'll need another thread! Although I've worked out if AF doesn't come today, I might be due the next one 1 March. And I just can't deal with that. 😂 I can still get on the bus, right?

@MrsTwentySeven i did test on thursday lol it was BFN. I wish I'd had the willpower not to! Weirdly all my af symptoms have eased off now, normally once they hit they stay til its over!

@NChangeForNoReason sorry about the test, fingers crossed it was too early!

How is everyone else today?

@paintfairy im sure mine will be 3rd march... can we do a feb/march crossover bus?! Although weve nearly maxed the feb thread out by the first day so we'll probably need at least two more haha

Something new for a new month: things to look forward to in February that aren’t getting pregnant (because it definitely shouldn’t take over your whole life, right? 😂)
I’ll start...
Six Nations starts this weekend
Celebrating a friend’s 30th
Seeing Kinky Boots at the cinema next week! 👠
Afternoon tea with my sister and BIL at the end of the month.
It’s going to be a busy one!

What’s everyone else looking forward to?

I suppose these threads just keep carrying on with new names. With people leaving (after BFPs) and new people coming. With the rest of us just staying and slowly going insane. 😂 (praying that isn't the case mind.....)

@notetaker i love this idea!

My middle boys 9th birthday on the 15th feb is the big one!

But Im also looking forward to valentines with the oh, we've both booked the night off 😊
Seeing the new harley quinn movie
My youngest has his kickboxing grading
And finally getting some new work boots!! (Small things!)

@Hatepickinganame I’ve been doing it for the last couple of months, it gets my head out of my apps and helps me to focus on the good stuff!

Sometimes it is the little things 😊

@notetaker an excellent idea!

I’ve got a friend’s birthday tonight, a surprise 30th in a few weeks and then off on holiday later in the month 🙂

We are going out for valentine's for the first time ever! We are also going away for DH's birthday, either the last weekend in feb or the following week. I also start to feel happier by end of Feb because it's getting lighter!

Totally agree with you on the daylight @paintfairy - it makes such a difference when it’s lighter doesn’t it!

Today’s drama is that DH has lost his wedding ring (pretty certain at home) so I’m about to turn everything upside down to find it. Wish me luck!

@Wise0wl Yes- I am miserable in winter! Hate the short days.

Oh no! Not good about the wedding ring. Stressful. Hope you find it.

Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? I've missed quite a lot!

@Notetaker Fab idea! I'm looking forward to SIL's 40th bday dinner next Saturday. Tomorrow nights Hawaii Five-O (😂😂), and getting me new car at end of month (after waiting 7 months!!). Oh, and of course valentines 😍😍

In other news, after AF arriving on Thursday (first one since stopping mini pill on 15 Dec and 8/9 DPO), it went away after a day and now I just have light spotting. But still tummy cramps. WTF?

Hi also to the newbies!

@Wise0wl did you find the ring??

@MimiArm i wish i had an answer for you, maybe just a v light af? Or an implantation bleed?

Everything i eat or drink today tastes funny. Ive just bought three cans of my favourite drink (berry energy drink) took one sip and almost spat it out! What is wrong with me 😂
