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!

Hope everyone has had a lovely day! Loads of CM today like I thought I had wet myself so I'm assuming ovulation is today or tomorrow! Temps will tell me in a few days! DTD tonight or tomorrow hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼we have been every third day so all bases should be covered!

@whatsthecraic91 sounds positive! We've managed every other day but only because we want to. Temps remain a struggle due to my lack of sleeping but my opks are now negative and last month I ovulated quickly after getting positive. Haven't noticed pain this month though which makes it hard to know. Could do with being able to get a proper temp reading.

Hi all, I hope it’s ok if I can join.

Currently 7dpo, DTD the day before and day after ovulation, this is my first cycle of TTC.

I was on the implant for 3.5 years, I’ve had a couple of periods since but still unsure on how long my cycle is but a couple of them have been 31 days so I’m using that as my guide.

I’ve had terrible back pain and lots of ( TMI) white mucus but this happened 4/5 dpo, I knew I had ovulated on the date that I did due to the CM and ovulation stick showing a positive.

Does anyone know what I should expect as this is new to me.

Thank you !

Wishing the best of luck to everyone 💗

@paintfairy we are trying what the Dr said, willing to try anything at the min! Why are you not sleeping? My thermometer has an alarm and goes off at 5.45 every morning I get up at 6 for work, it's a bit annoying on weekends but I just go back to sleep after! Have you had a positive opk? So are you in the dreaded TWW now?

@whatsthecraic91 I think it's because I'm stressed about knowing I need to sleep? 🙄

I had high opks yesterday but not peak. However, I usually only have 1 surge. We were away for the weekend so I was only able to test sometimes so I likely just missed the peak one. Last month I ovulated only about 12 hours after the peak so theoretically it has already happened, yes. It was high yesterday morning. I hate the 2ww. 😩

@paintfairy oh no that's so annoying! I think nothing of taking my temp! I'm usually half asleep when I do it😂 try it for a week and see if if it comes part of your routine and gradually you'll think nothing off it! I hate the TWW too! Hopefully it will fly in for me as work is so busy at the minute it's great! Have you anything nice planned to keep your mind off of it?

@whatsthecraic91 I've been taking it every day (or trying) for months. I think I'm just mental. 😂 Didn't sleep on a relaxing weekend away either for DH's birthday.
I'm going to try and keep busy. I'm out this weekend. I always find the second week harder. We are having next month off I think (due date would be like 30th December) and I'll bet money I suddenly sleep. But I'm looking forward to it.

CD39, either 19dpo or 9dpo 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still a bfn (though I didn’t use FMU and didn’t hold...). No sign of af still. Getting fed up of waiting now 😑

@newbie0818 that's so frustrating not knowing where you are... I'm in a similar situation. I think I'm about 6dpo but not actually sure.

Flo predicted ovulation on the 8th but my CM suggested between 4th-6th and my opk was high on the 3rd-5th although never a peak. They're clearly negative now tho. I get ovulation cramps 85% of the time but got none this cycle clearly...

I hate not knowing. I'm just going to wait to see if af shows up next week and hope and pray we did enough this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Newbie0818 that's so frustrating for you, hopefully it's because you're actually 9dpo, still time for a positive test if that's the case!

@sausage1990 hope the TWW doesn't feel too long!

@paintfairy I hope you get some decent sleep soon!

Hello ladies,

I just wanted to check in to give you some unexpected news - I briefly joined this bus after the (brilliant) Feb bus, but was feeling v down after my BFN in Feb.

Decided to switch off for a month, no MN, got my TV ultrasound (small fibroid but nothing that should stop TTC), have been working all the hours... got a call from the GP today to book in my blood tests to explore why I’ve got spotting and they asked me what CD it was - I couldn’t remember (work has been that mental!!)

Took a test just now and got my BFP! Am in total shock. I just wanted to pop by to say hello, for thanking you for being such a highlight in my TTC journey, and I hope to catch up with you on the pregnancy boards. Have a gin for me if you’re still waiting for your BFP, as I didn’t get to enjoy my last one enough!

@wiseowl that's fantastic I'm so happy for you! Keep in touch or join the ladies from the Feb bus in their graduates thread!

@Wise0wl congratulations!

@Wise0wl congratulations!! Amazing news!

Thank you @Juno231(great idea!) and also thank you @paintfairy and @Lola871 - I really appreciate it and you are all lovely! I will continue to lurk a bit (as I have been for the last month... sounding like a stalker!)

@Wise0wl ahh lovely congratulations 🥳 fab news! Have a healthy 9 months x

@Wise0wl fab news xxx

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations @WiseOwl 💖💖💖
How long have you been TTC for? Was switching off the secret?
Xxx

Thanks @Lola871 and @Sausage1990 - yes it’s so frustrating! The waiting is beyond awful, especially when your TWW turns out to be a 3 week wait! Fingers crossed everything works out for us all 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Yay @Wise0wl amazing! That’s really a lovely thing to hear. Good luck with it all :)

🤨 I thought I posted a congratulations message @Wise0wl, anyhow again I am also trying to relax about it, see if some of your baby luck comes my way

Thank you @whatsthecraic91 @calimommy @Adrianoska and @newbie0818 - you are all too kind!

I do think it was because of chilling out, also looking at my app, the successful BD was definitely when we were on holiday, which must have helped!

It was cycle 5, and 11 months off the pill for me (we weren’t actively trying, just not using protection and a bit of me was disappointed each month secretly but needed to sort some life stuff before properly trying). I’ve also had spotting mid-cycle loads and was really worried about it. I’m sorry that I don’t have some magic formula for you all, I’ve even been drinking loads recently so this baby is definitely swimming round in some Sauvignon right now! (I know first hand how frustrating it is to say that when you’re being so good, as I was before this month, but just being honest!)

Good luck to all you lovely ladies! X

PS thank you @Franklydear - sending all my relaxing vibes your way 😊

@Wise0wl ah congratulations! So excited for all the feb bus people getting their bfps!! Xx

Morning ladies, just checking in, how is everyone doing? Is anyone testing this weekend?

I took another test today and it's definitely darker than Monday so I guess that's a good sign, it's starting to feel more real now but quite nervous still as it's so early. I'd love to see some more BFPs on this thread, it's been quite lucky so far!

So @Wise0wl I suppose I’d better take hubby on holiday and get on the wine! Haha I like that advice.

@Lola871 that’s amazing! Definitely looking good for you.

I’ve just bought my first ever pack of First Response tests 🙊 I’ve only ever used cheapies so this feels different. I’m testing on Sunday I think (assuming the witch still hasn’t arrived). I’m really terrified. Like really really terrified! I don’t know if I’m looking for signs, but in bed last night I felt a sharp “poke” quite low down on my tummy, slightly off to the right. I had about 20 minutes of very mild af style cramps before bed too. I was convinced she’d be here this morning but still nothing. Sunday can’t come quick enough, but I still expect to see a bfn as that’s all I’ve ever seen!
