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!

@karenkeys I am 37 with none currently, so if you've left it too late, no idea what that says about me!

My DH is a bit the same. I think you need to make it clear there's important times in your window. But then maybe don't tell him when? Just initiate it? Mine doesn't struggle to do it but he's not happy and it definitely changes the mood. I'm going to try not saying too much next month!

@paintfairy sorry I realise my comment about age 32 being late to start last night might upset people. I was more thinking I’d like to have more than one child and with a gap between I would be getting to late 30s. Articles/books always making out after 35 can be more difficult doesn’t help!

Last night was definitely ovulation pressure as we never have problems any other time but luckily a good nights sleep lead to us being successful with DTD this morning so. hopefully it will be a one off. I have realised it’s not ideal to tell him too much about exact dates isn’t exactly going to get him in the right mood!

@karenkeys I'd like more than one too. But what will be will be. I think if it's meant to happen it will, no matter what age you are.

Even I'm not in the mood myself some days. Feeling you HAVE to do it, is hardly ideal. 😂 Its hard to switch off and enjoy it too.

Hiii 👋🏻 finally making a tiptoe over from Feb Bus. FEMS got me at 10dpo on 28th Feb so....

Can't believe the part 2 thread is over halfway again!

@karenkeys, I don't tell him either, doesn't help that I kinda want to get pregnant instantly, I decided so I'm pregnant, done. Life turns out ok, if not to the plan, give you an example, my mum had me at 34, dB at 37 and adopted brother at 58, he was 4

@Franklydear that’s good to hear! Thanks for the reassurance. Feeling a lot more positive today 😃

Hey Guys, how are we all today??

My OH and I have decided that because my cycle is so wild, we're doing something called the '30 day s*x challenge', which basically is an excuse to BD for each day in the month!
My last lot of spotting looked like it was mixed with EWCM (tmi!), so we're really confused and hoping this will pay off!
Currently on CD 6 (but had v short AF), and apps say O is due in 7 days (but who knows).
Would love to hear how everyone's doing for some reassurance!

Woohoo finally got my peak opk! Just hoping I will actually ovulate this time

I don’t tell DH when I’m ovulating either, although he told me the other day that he would have no problem if I wanted more sex for a better chance... he says that now... 😏😂

Sat on CD11 just waiting for fertile window to roll around.. didn’t ovulate until CD17 last month so just need to wait!

Hi everyone, currently on my CD 11 and got my peek this morning.I will probably Ov tomorrow which is what the app predicted as well.We dtd on Monday,today and will do again tomorrow.Kinda disappointed as I wanted to try more this month but we couldn't because of the work.Anyway, hope this would work🙏🏻.Do you guys think I should try friday as well(1 day after ov)?🤔
Baby dust to you all!!

Sitting here on CD 12 (im)patiently waiting for ovulation! My app is predicting CD 17, although my cycles vary so I think it could be anytime from CD 15 - 20. Who knows?! I can’t believe that I’m so keen to get to the 2WW when I know that’s going to be horrible and drag too!

I am determined to not test until 1 week late, this time, O due on Friday, only guess work, so it is going to be nearly a whole hellish month....gh not complaining about dad lots either

We need to support each other not to test early 💪 wasted 3 FRERs doing that last cycle

I've been looking at the calendar, and decided to test on Friday 13th if still no af, would be a week late, and not a day before, I have only one test at home...

I would love to be able to hold off for a week after AF is due! More likely going to end up testing the day AF is due around 5th March. I’ve got a pack of 2 FRERs here so it will be hard to avoid the temptation.

I think I’m ovulating now/tomorrow as I’ve had pink spotting with EWCM today so almost on to the 2WW 🤞

I don’t think I could test on Friday 13th as it’s already an unlucky day 😂 hopefully will be lucky for you.

CD10 here, due to ovulate sometime between CD16-19 so almost at the fertile period! Feels a bit like wishing your life away sometimes doesn't it, waiting for fertile week, then the TWW then waiting for fertile week again.

I'm CD4 just now. Waiting for AF to disappear.

No idea when I'll ovulate - last month was first full cycle taking inositol and I ovulated CD35 (+OPK on CD34) and started spotting CD11. Hoping cycle gets a bit shorter but I'm just pleased I appear to be ovulating now.

What's everyone's plan with trying/not trying if it could result in a Christmas baby? And what dates would you not want to be giving birth over Christmas period?

I see a lot of people are skipping that month but to be honest if I can get pregnant I really wouldn't mind when a baby came so don't think I'll stop trying.

I guess that would be for anyone who ends up in the April bus.

@ApplePie86 I don't think I'd be too fussed over having a December baby. From a selfish POV, I work retail so I could start maternity before the big rush kicks in and actual have a Christmas off 😆

I’m planning on skipping a month for both a sanity break and to prevent a Christmas baby. My birthday is next month too so I can also enjoy eating what I want and having a few drinks as part of the break to soften the blow of another failed cycle, if I don’t have any luck.

Just catching up on all this. I’m 31 and trying for our first so I get a bit worried I’ve left it late too but my mum got pregnant at 40 and plenty of other people do so fingers crossed for everyone.

I’m on CD13 today, had some egg white discharge yesterday so hopefully that’s ovulation on it’s way. According to my clue app I’m due ovulation on CD20 but we are DTD every second day incase it’s early or later. I started taking folic acid too so hopefully I’ve not left it too late.

@ApplePie86 DH and I have considered having a break next month but I don't think we will. Based on my predicted ov date next month that would be 8th December due date which isn't too bad, even if I went overdue by 2 weeks.

@karenkeys, testing late is an aspiration, ive been known to test 4 days before af is due

I am cd14, so ovulation due, I have tiny cramps and breast soreness but I could be imagining, af due on the 6th, see what happens, I am trying to set my maternity leave with the school holidays

@littletandme I’d try next month too if I was due around early December! Unfortunately from my calculations I’d be looking at the due date falling around the end of December/New Years day - the worst time.

@littletandme, ideally I would avoid the second half of December, if not successful this cycle, we would be there, I don’t know if I can not try....
