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!

Awww thank you @Hatepickinganame & @karenkeys!!!

Not much planned for today, just a low key day and dinner with family this evening. My twin sister & i had a party on the weekend so today is a low key day 😊🎂

Hope you’re all well.

I’m 12dpo and still no af. No cramps, still loads of cm this morning and very mild nausea, but I sometimes get that in the morning anyway. Nipples are painful now though. Very tired, but that could be because of job stress?

Happy birthday @sausage :)

@Newbie0818 your the same dpo as me! Whens af due for you? Im similar with CM but always have loads so means nothing for me lol i find i get nausea with pms 🙄 and it could be job stress, mine stresses me out and im always bloody tired haha

Happy Birthday @sausage🎉🎂

Don't go yet, girls... April bus is not going anywhere just yet?
Oh. Where are all the BFPs?

, 💕💕💕

Thanks @Franklydear xxx

I should have an answer on yes or no by the end of the week! Still feels too long away

Sorry to hear a couple of you are off the March bus already, please do hang around!

Happy birthday @Sausage1990!!

@Hatepickinganame that send like it's been a short cycle for you? I seem to remember AF getting us on the same day last cycle and I'm only 7dpo currently.

I'm having exactly the same as last month where my normal sore boobs haven't kicked in, last cycle it obviously didn't mean anything but weird that for the two cycles we've TTC they haven't happened!

Fingers crossed for some BFPs soon!

@lola871 af is due sat which would be cd26, i ovulated earlier this time on cd12, last cycle i was 5 days late, i assuming due to later ovulation?but this time im 100% sure on when it happened so af shouldn't be late this time. Unless my LP is longer than i think it is 😂 but my first cycle was 26 days too so makes sense...

Still 100% convinced im definitely not pregnant lol getting some cramps now so everything is bang on the timeline haha

Hi @hatepickinganame. Well flo predicted it to be due on Monday, so technically I’m late. I do wander if that’s because of my short LP last month though. The longest cycle I’ve had has been 36 days so I’m on day 35 now. Debating whether to test on Saturday morning or not as I’ll be 15dpo then

Sounds like a plan @Newbie0818, this time last month id already done several tests 😂 quite proud that i havent even bought any this time. Thats how sure i am 😂 already decided i wont test unless af is somehow a week late and i just dont see that happening so saving myself money this month 😂😂

I’m back to spotting now ☹️ redder then before but still none of my usual AF cramps. It’s messing me up this having spotting on and off since Sunday afternoon. I usually only spot a day before AF, or more rarely 2 days before. This has been 3-4 days if that’s AF starting today! Hope someone can share some good news soon to keep us all going 🤞

@karenkeys have you done a test? Sorry if I've missed that post somewhere!

@Hatepickinganame that makes sense! Well done for not testing so far! I haven't felt the temptation yet but at 7dpo you know it's pointless so it'll be around 10dpo that I start getting tempted I'm sure!

@Newbie0818 that sounds like a good plan, 15dpo should have something showing by then if it's going to be positive!

Lots of self restraint being shown so far on this bus!

@Lola871 I tested on a FRER on Sunday evening just as spotting started and it was 100% BFN. Not tested since as I’ve been expecting AF anytime since then so seemed pointless. Last month (on my first month of TTC) I had a chemical and had a faint but clear FRER line at 12 DPO, so I assumed a negative at around the same point this time means it isn’t happening.

Just fed up waiting for AF!

I don't think that's the case (that it would definitely be positive by 12dpo because it was last time, implantation could happen later, or HCG might just rise slower, our bodies aren't machines unfortunately so they aren't as predictable as that! I'm not saying you should definitely do a test immediately or anything, just don't assume your body will do the same every time!

I've been looking at my app for the last two months and have now decided that AF might be due Tuesday instead of Wednesday going by my ov pain, which of course means I'll be trying to avoid POAS a day earlier 🤣

@Lola871 that’s true I guess I’m just comparing to the one attempt last month and have yet to discover things are different each month! Spotting has stopped again (for now). I only have one FRER left I’m going to try and wait until Friday to test again if AF doesn’t turn up. I’ve never been on hormonal contraceptives so I know my period and cycles really well and it’s definitely not normal for days of spotting like this. I’m sure it can be more mixed up when coming off contraceptives though if anyone else is following along.

Would absolutely love it to be my month as it would be the best birthday present for me next weekend and my husband and me would be giving our mums brilliant mother’s day news too 😆 need to keep realistic though.

Have you got many tests around for next week?

Well done @Hatepickinganame! I don’t think I can wait much longer than Saturday if af still doesn’t show haha 😂

I was due AF yesterday and nothin! I haven't any tests in either to tests so thinkin a trip after work today! I feel really really tired lik I could of fell sleep no problem at work. I ate my dinner and then get immediately sick after to the point I'm dry heavin in the loos!! I'm not sure if it's jus all in my head wit symptom spotting xx

I only spotted about 3 separate times since Sunday Eve, I am doing a test Saturday morning, just to keep my sanity, keep having sore boobs, cramps and sickness 🤷

@Franklydear all clear of spotting now? For me it’s gone from pink and very little on Sunday and Monday to nothing Tuesday, then a bit red this morning and brown this afternoon. So confused.

Ah PMS is such a bitch, burst into tears 3 times today. Saturday needs to hurry the hell up 😂

@karenkeys I only have one Asda test in, I try not to buy them in advance as I know I'll use them! That one is left over from last cycle. Ideally will wait until Monday at least, due on Tues or Weds. But we all know how these things go!!

@Franklydear how many dpo are you?

@Gembo25 that sounds promising! Good luck!!

@karen, all clear, had two red spots on Monday and one brown one yesterday, no idea
@lola I think 13/14 dpo...

It’s really annoying isn’t it lol. I’m trying to talk myself out of the possibility of being pg so that if af comes I won’t go insane, but at the same time I’m completely convinced! Why do we do this to ourselves 😱😂

Sorry that no one had got their BFP yet, I thought this month was gonna be lucky

No AF for me yet but going by my estimation it's due on Friday. BFN this morning again at 12dpo and temp is dropping.

At least I'll be able to drink when I go on holiday next week if AF does arrive!
