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!

Can I climb aboard please? CD1 today 👎 Next AF is due around 7th March according to Clue.

This is our 5th cycle off the pill, TTC #1. I’m 28 and DH is 29.

Hope we get lots of BFP’s on this bus! ☺️

Quite a few of us on CD3, don't you just hate the waiting for ovulation to come round?! I don't even know when I will ovulate this month. It was CD21 last month but that was only 8 days after I had my implant removed, so this is really only my first proper cycle.

I’m really not sure when ovulation will happen too @littletandme so going to just focus on DTD every 2 days as soon as AF has finished. I have a feeling the CP might screw up my cycle this month a bit. Hopefully your chance will be better this month since the implant was only just removed before the last

I know what you mean @littletandme, I feel like I check my app multiple times a day to see if I’m any more fertile ! I was so determined not to become crazy about it too... oh well!

Can I join please? First time posting, but it will be 5th month of ttc. I'll be 35 in a couple of months too, so I feel time really is ticking for baby number 1.
AF arrived yesterday and trying to stay positive!! I also seem to get every symptom under the sun and never noticed them when I wasn't trying, it def does make you go crazy!

I've just sat and worked out DHs shifts for this month to see how well we might be able to do SMEP 😂 as long as I don't ovulate on CD12 I think we'll be in with a good chance!

Hey, I'm please can I join?
I'm 39 trying for number 3.
CD23 of 25 day cycle
12/13dpo - had strong o pains 36 hours of so after a positive CB digital OPK
Slight spotting this morning on inspection (sorry) and cramps during the night.
Thought I was in for a chance this month.
Feeling a bit deflated but I keep hopeful

Can someone explain what SMEP is please? ☺️

@MrsB2019x I just googled that was wondering the same 😆 it seems it means Sperm Meets Egg Plan!

Hello everyone! 🌸
I am 36 and have two kids from a previous marriage (12 and 6).
Now my husband and I are trying for a baby. We have been TTC for 3 months. This month is the first cycle I used ovulation sticks. It was nice to know that I ovulated yesterday or today 😁. We did BD last few days. And will do again tonight 😉.
I am drinking Proceive Max this month (50 guid?? 😅). Before that I was taking pregnacare conception... I was so disappointed that I didn't get pregnant first two cycles that I start researching like crazy! Now I am eating a big breakfast and drink organic ful fat milk 😜. I also bought Conceive Plus Lube... But we used it only once. I usually get so wet (sorry, tmi 😂) that using extra lube meant that my husband felt like he is sailing the sea 🌊🤣. My husband wants baby so much!
He is younger than me, he is 30. We both don't drink or smoke at all... I am just so paranoid that I will not be able to get pregnant... It drives me crazy! 😒😅
Good luck to everyone 💖

@littletandme same here,I literally have a notepad for everything conception related😂 I keep my ovulation sticks there so I can see the progression of the line better,sometimes I think I m too much but then I feel proud of myself for taking it seriously.It just drives me nuts to hear my friends saying "it was an accident,we didn't expect it","it was just once" when I do all this.

@MrsB2019x @karenkeys
Yes it's Sperm Meets Egg Plan, there's a thread for it on here. Basically you DTD every other day from around CD8 until you get a positive OPK then DTD three days in a row from that day. Then back to every other day until the OPKs get lighter or fade completely.

@Adrianoska I feel as though I'm in the same position as you!

I'm taking supplements too, a multi-vit, multi-mineral and a seed oil for the omegas. And the conceive plus!

Wishing you all a BFP very soon!

Today I bought cough mixture which is supposed to be good at increasing your EWCM not that I had a problem last month but I thought 'every bit helps'. Came home and had pumpkin seeds, went to work with myo-inositol in my juice. Perfectly normal right? It's going to be a long cycle of what is always a long cycle. But I'm feeling (believe I or not) chilled 😂

@Adrianoska I'm the same as you, +OPK yesterday, on 4th month of TTC. I'm also 36. Fingers crossed for us!

I'm taking agnus Castus by the bucket load because it seemed to work before.

Hey @calimommy and @Bunnycharm32 ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah... I feel like I am going crazy now... Anus cactus? What's that 😂 give it to me! I will eat anything that might vaguely help! Seriously!

My husband and I had another BD last night and I keep my legs in the air for 10 minutes hahah. Omg.

Have you got kids already? How long did it take before? It took me 6 months each time with my two.
. But I can't wait any longer now. That's it. I am so crazy and unfortunately really hopeful this time.. 😳

@Adrianoska re-read your post again... you seriously don’t want anus cactus 😂😂😂

@littletandme thank you that’s really helpful!

Hahaha! I did wire it on purpose 🤣😆
Sometimes I feel desperate enough that even Anus cactus would be an option if it meant I can get pregnant hahah 🌵😅❤️

Hello again @littletandme and 👋 everyone!

I’m hopping on, on CD4 of cycle 4, AF/BFP due 8th March. Here’s hoping it’s a lucky bus! I’m going to try SMEP this month but tbh it sounds a bit exhausting... 😳 we’ll see how it goes

@Adrianoska 'anus' cactus looool

Got pregnant first try with both previous children!

Same. No patience here!

@Adrianoska 😂💀
Agnus Castus is also called Chaste Berry, it's a herb which is suppose to help balance hormones and aid fertility. I have 3 children. After I stopped BF my second I had on going spotting for AGES and so tried AC to see if it sorted my hormones out and presto I accidentally got pregnant with my third (I ovulated when I should have gotten my period so ended up with a 1.5 cycle or something I don't know tbh but it worked). I have had 5 pregnancies overall and each time I got pregnant if we BD on the days I ovulated. This time it's been several months and it hasn't happened in that way so 🤷‍♀️ fingers crossed this time x

Sorry AF got you @Wise0wl, really hope this month will be luckier for us all!

Really hope this is my month, last time I conceived on cycle 2 with my DD so I'm putting a lot of hope on this cycle! OPKs, temping and preseed!

Thank you @calimommy, perhaps I will start taking this as well..
My cycles are 26-30 days long, use to very regular but not so much now.

I ovulated yesterday or today, I think. I can't wait any longer 😢🥰🥰🥰🥰

@Adrianoska my O day seems to be fluctuating. Last month it was CD11 this month was CD17. Af due 24th so I hope it doesn't come!!! Tbh I've had two losses in the past so I know that even a positive doesn't mean it sticks. Ttc and pregnancy is hard!

@calimommy It is the first cycle that I actually test my ovulation... I think usually I ovulated around day 12...
But if I was ovulating yesterday as I think I was then my AF is due on the 24th too 😅 omg, I hope we will score this month! Please please please universe, how much I want this AF to piss off this time 🙏🏻🙄

I have so many cramps and looooads of CM... But obviously it is too early to have any symptoms! Omg. I am going mad. 😜❤️
