March bus

[littletandme]

Just thought I'd start a March bus for anyone just edging into the next month for testing/AF due!

I'll start with my stats:

Trying for baby #2 with a 2.5yo DD
Cycle 2 (although first full cycle after having the implant removed)
CD1 today
AF/BFP due sometime after 5th March depending on what my cycle wants to do this month!

@Hatepickinganame well people always say it happens when you least expect it, so you might be that small % haha!
This is cycle 3 for me too, but we’ve been going all out - pre-seed lube, DTD every other day, tracking my cervix position and using opk’s. Despite all of that I’m a lot more relaxed this month though haha. Hubby is very much “it happens when it happens” though so he doesn’t really get how every tiny twinge leads me to obsessively googling :P I’m not sure if I’m actually ovulating since coming off the pill in August so the doc is waiting until my next cycle to do some tests if this month isn’t a bfp

@Newbie0818 oh the last couple of months ive been obsessed lol this month im more hesitant just cause we've not had the best time of it, hence the counting to af is due instead of dpo 😂 fairly sure it hasnt happened though so we can spend some time sorting ourselves out instead

We were gonna do it happens when it happens, sadly I don't work that way and need to micromanage it🤷

Yep, another one who was going to try and take it as it comes for a few months 🙋🏻‍♀️😂

Me too 🙋🏻‍♀️ as far as the worlds concerned we’re just ‘not not trying’ for a year. Doesn’t stop me obsessively tracking symptoms and counting down the TWW in cycle one! 😂

@Franklydear ha that's beautifully phrased 😂 I feel personally attacked!

@Juno231, why? I can’t help myself, I would love it, if I could just randomly wonder if I’m late for my period and absentmindedly test, instead I am counting down the hours and trying to spot unexisting symptoms... I am just not chilled...

@franklydear im exactly the same! On the surface i can be chilled about it, inside im counting and googling... speaking of which, after the cm chat earlier i checked again, its ewcm at 5dpo and im cramping in one side which is what i get when i ovulate. Which happened friday. Im almost positive it did... and then google gave me this.

@hatepicking, I know, fraternal twins run In my family, if you ovulate twice close together, dh has already warn we do not want twins, but worth the risk, but hope not

@franklydear i knew you could ov twice at the same time, my sis is currently preg with twins that way. I did not know you could ov twice days apart 🙄

I’m definitely obsessive! It’s impossible not to be!

Wow @Hatepickinganame - to DTD or to not DTD?

@Newbie0818 we did this morning! Then had a convo about how we'd missed o day cause it happened friday 🤦‍♀️ now im wondering if it did.... but i was super sure, i had absolutely loads of ewcm and cramps all day fri/sat!

Just got home from a days work and a show straight after, straight into Jim jams and cried like a biatch when I took my bra off. I've never felt pain like this. It's like I've a 20st weight swinging off each boob.

Am I dying?
Is it coronavirus?
Am I being an absolute girl? 😄

I'd like to join, had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. Trying for DC #1. AF visited 5 days ago and still hanging around.
This time I need to do everything not to test so soon.

@Juno231 my ov is also due 7th. Fingers crossed.

@Anon87 those achey boobs sound a bit symptomatic to me... How many dpo are you??

@Juno231 @YaThink my predicted ovulation is the 7th too... Looks like we might all be in the TWW together 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Anon87 I had that last month, with sickness to top it up, but no, this month I am trying to be more relax, ...

I’m feeling nauseous! Desperately trying not to read too much into it because it’s way too early at 6dpo. I really don’t want a stomach bug right now 😫 I’m a teacher and have parents evening tonight too, it’s going to be a loooong day...

@YaThink @Sausage1990 that's exciting! Looking forward to spending my TWW obsessing about symptoms with you both😂

@Newbie0818 its so hard not to hope its a sign though isnt it 😂 my sanity has returned this morning, reminded myself i get ewcm more than once a month anyway and the cramps are probably related to something else 😂 must stay away from google.... only 9 days to go!

@sausage1990 Today's 9dpo, they've been hurting for what feels like forever and gradually getting worse.

In the run up to AF they get sore to touch and a few lumps and bumps. This, I can't not wear support and even when they're brushed past in work (it's a small space 😄) just feels like they're on fire.

Was mean to add that my temp keeps dropping bit by bit aswell .59 then .56 today .51 so I'm thinking @paintfairy would say that's not a good sign 😄

@Anon87 No. It should really stay pretty much the same if pregnant.

I've also been looking into this and a gradual drop (as opposed to steep) before AF sometimes indicates luteal phase defect- which worries me. And I already suspect it with my bleeding anyway. I do wonder if my temp drop coincides with the bleeding but I'd have to sleep to know. 🙄
Mine I finally got a proper reading today and its 36.59. I'm CD 26. Not quite sure when I ovulated though until AF arrives. Neither have I slept for 2 weeks for any comparison temps. But after ovulation mine would usually be 36.7-36.8.

Ladies, I almost went and took an internet cheapie test this morning at around 8 DPO but stopped myself 😅 far too early! I’m still thinking of doing it on Saturday at 10 DPO though...

I'm currently CD11...last cycle I ovulated CD35 which would mean 22nd March although I'm hoping my cycles get shorter (PCOS but taking inositol).

Whenever I do OV, I'll not be testing til at least a week after AF is meant to arrive (arrived 12DPO last cycle).

Pretty much looks like I won't be testing til beginning of April unless I OV earlier this month (fingers crossed!)
