March bus

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!

Good morning ladies, congratulations to all the bfps, reserve a though for those of us in isolation for the second tww, preventive, I am fine, but I’ll have nothing to do but symptom spotting....

Sausage1990 · 19/03/2020 07:32

Good morning. So I did a test this morning as af due today but it was BFN.
I feel a bit mixed but still going to hope that af won't arrive and that I'll get a positive a bit later... 🤞🏻

Hi everyone, I jumped onto the April bus at the start of March as I didn't know what my next cycle was going to do but turns out I've ovulated on text book CD14 which was yesterday so will probably be testing around 29/30 March.

Just about to fly home from Lanzarote, it's been a very odd, very strange "holiday" since all bars and restaurants got shut from Saturday so we had nothing to do and nowhere to go for most of the week we've been here other than to the shop for supplies for our villa. Glad to be going home but also scared of what we are going back to!

Hope everyone else has been coping okay.

@littletandme so unfortunate, and now you have to self isolate for two weeks!

Sausage1990 · 19/03/2020 14:59

So a question for you all...

A colleague of mine today (who's a nurse) said to me "oh please don't get pregnant at the moment. I don't know if that's part of your plans or anything but if you were thinking about, just think about waiting a few more months."

Naturally I shrugged it off with a oh don't worry about I won't.... But obviously we have been actively TTC, I'm currently waiting of af or a BFP... So for this cycle it's already decided either way and nothing I can do...

But what about going forward - is anyone delaying TTC due to Covid-19? Is there any advice about this?

I personally felt like I wouldn't delay things because its been 3-4 months already and who knows how long it will take... But now I'm wondering if that's a responsible choice or not.... I'd appreciate your thoughts ladies...
Xx

calimommy · 19/03/2020 15:30

When you are pregnant your immune system dampens it's self down so you don't reject the baby, so you are more susceptible to illness. Also with a high fever there is a risk of miscarriage. Later in pregnancy fluid can build up in the body (personally I swell like the sea) so this can cause pneumonia. Atm they don't know if the virus passes through the placenta, there have only been two infant cases so far and those were ?infection at time of delivery or immediately after. They don't believe that the virus can damage the baby inutero or cause birth defects but it is early days, so that may change.

paintfairy · 19/03/2020 15:34

@Sausage1990 I'm due AF in a week. I'm the same and can do nothing about it now! Next month I'm not going to try. After that, I'll see where things are. Initially I thought it wouldn't matter but I am starting to feel more concerned now.

@littletandme No traffic. No one in pubs. No food on shelves. 😂 Otherwise fine.

Sausage1990 · 19/03/2020 16:28

@paintfairy yes I'm the same. And thank you @calimommy for the information. It is really helpful. Xx

Franklydear · 19/03/2020 16:40

I mention it to dh, should we stop trying? Hard to decide

YaThink · 19/03/2020 21:12

Maybe I'm seeing things but I swear I can see the worlds faintest line on this stick. I'm cd27. I'll try again tomorrow. X

March bus
Newbie0818 · 20/03/2020 06:45

So sorry it wasn’t the holiday you hoped for @littletandme :( the world is a downer at the moment.

Regarding the not trying @Sausage1990 I am going to take a break next cycle anyway, but I don’t think I’m ovulating so the cycle after that my goal will be to see if that’s happening. I think it’s going to take me a while to get pg and I really don’t want to stop 😢 I don’t really know what to do.

Newbie0818 · 20/03/2020 12:38

And @YaThink I definitely see the faintest line on there. But my line eye is usually unreliable!

calimommy · 20/03/2020 13:53

@YaThink will you take another? I think I can see something but it's fainter than faint. Also, this time my FMU hasn't been my stronger line time for BFP, the last few days I notice that if I test in the evening I'll see darker lines than the previous day. I had v faint lines two days ago but now they are dark. 🤞 for you

Sausage1990 · 20/03/2020 14:37

Awww @calimommy I'm excited for you. Love that your lines are getting darker 😊

No af for me yet but also 2 days of BFN for me so far - The waiting game continues...

Franklydear · 20/03/2020 19:41

So cd20, and no symptoms, even of pms, will Mother Nature have irony instead of a sense of humour? After 10 years, will it happened in a pandemic?

littletandme · 21/03/2020 07:51

Morning guys! We are self isolating for 7 days and my boss even delivered me my pc and all the paperwork I need to wfh until next Friday so I finally have our little box room set up as an office!

3dpo and both my apps have confirmed ovulation on the same day, we managed to DTD 4 times in FW including -1 and day of ovulation so really hoping we're in with a good shot this month. Would be nice to have a Christmas baby to go with our summer baby Smile

Sausage1990 · 21/03/2020 18:38

@littletandme nothing like self isolation to help the TWW go quicker 😕

I'm currently 16-17dpo (I think) and on cd38... af is still MIA and another BFN this morning... I don't think we did it this month so I'm not going to test again and just wait for af.

Hope you ladies are all doing OK xxx

Adrianoska · 22/03/2020 02:34

@franklydear and @littleandme, I am excited for you two! Any more tests? 😍

Adrianoska · 22/03/2020 02:37

@sausage it is a horrible feeling when you almost know the tummy is empty...
So difficult 😒❤️❤️❤️

Who will be catching the April bus? Did anyone set it up already? ❤️

calimommy · 22/03/2020 02:57

@Sausage1990 I hate that feeling! I hope something happens soon either way so you aren't strung along much longer. X
