March Bus - AF due March 11th

[MamaPixie]

HHello everyone - looking for some March friends to go through the dreaded TWW with 😁 DPO -3, AF due March 11.

Been on another thread for 4 cycles now but everyone on there seems to have gotten a BFP now apart from me 🤷🏽‍♀️ Hoping that we can support each other through this cycle and continue to do so for us that get BFNs and need to keep positive for each other.

Little bit about me - 36, 1 DS 15, TTC second child with partner, cycle 5, 1 early MC last cycle, 1 anovulation cycle in December - hoping this will be our month 💪🏼😍

@PlomBear don't dispair! It could be implantation if it's brown? Especially if it's early? A friend of mine only got implantation bleeding on the day of AF - massively unhelpful 😂

How did you get on this morning? @HallowsandHorcruxes 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@Mrsmeow2019 argh!! Me too 😩😂 Woke up ar 4 super anxious as it's 9dpo, I've been fine all cycle really until now. The frers haven't arrived from amazon yet so I guess it's going to be this evening I test (would make more sense waiting until tomorrow but that is literally a lifetime away haha) Do you think you'll be able to last until tomorrow? 🙈 My partners family is staying with us for the week and with only 1 bathroom this testing lark isn't very relaxing! 😂

@Pink15 Ah that's exciting, fingers crossed for us both! 🤞

Haha, yep! I couldn't work out if any of the cheap ones were a positive, then tried the Clearblue digital ones and got nothing but flashing smileys for a week and was left very annoyed for wasting so much money on them 😂 Just hoping DTDing every 2-3 days through the month will work!

You'll need to update on here when you text then! 🤞 I think I'll wait until Friday...or try to 😂 x

@KerryW87 I just tried the LH cheapies and got a few really faint lines but I think they're only positive if darker than the test line which they weren't so gave up 🙈 also dtd regularly and hoping my app prediction is about right as I'm pretty regular. Ahh wish I could wait until Friday I just know I'll cave before then 😂 I always say to my husband I wish I could just look inside and see what's going on every step of the way haha!

I'm also due AF on March 11th, today I'll be 12 days DPO. I did a test yesterday with a CB digital and got a BFP from my FMU, but all the subsequent tests were BFN. Could this be a false positive?

I tested again this morning with my FMU with DB digital, FRER, and regular CB early detection. All except the CB early detection came back BFN. There is the faintest of lines on the CB early detection, like REALLY faint. I'm hoping it's just too early for my HCG to show up and tomorrow will be BFP all round.

Waiting until I have some more BFP before telling DH

Well I'm out af came last night 😩 painful. Onto official month 8. In April it willbe a year since coming off contraception!

@jazzibelle Exciting! I don't think there's such a thing as false positives as long as it's a colourful line and not an evap line.

@Missgoldilocks sorry to hear it 😭 AF is such a pain isn't it!!!

It’s AF for sure!

@Pink15 that's what I'm hoping. It was a Digital test so the word 'Pregnant' is pretty clear . The questionable BFP today was defo not an evap line, but I don't know if I'm just seeing what I want to see...

It's my first and we're only on our second cycle. Being new to TTC I'm just a little nervous to start celebrating. That, and my DH has testicular cancer so we really didn't think it would be this quick, or even possible. I want to wait until I have another firm BFP before telling him.

Is it common to have a BFP and then a string of BFN? I am hoping it's just low HCG and I picked it up yesterday because of a 10-hour sleep.

I do have some symptoms, but I also chalked them up to AF (mild cramps a few days ago, dullness in my belly, nipples sensitive to touch, tired, light-headed, ragey, and very windy!)

Sorry, that should have read *had testicular cancer. He's had the all-clear for a while now

@Pink15 it is!! Thank you ❤️ how long have you been trying and where are you in your cycle? How are you feeling x

@Missgoldilocks I'm cycle 3 trying for baby number 1. Currently 8 dpo so in that annoying 2WW trying to stop myself symptom spotting but it's all I can think about!! I never knew ttc would take over my life this much. I'm not particularly positive this cycle as not had any symptoms and so just think what's different this month than my previous negative months 🤔 but I know it's early days and a lot of people have been trying a lot longer 😔 how are you feeling?

@jazzibelle I think a test saying pregnant is about as sure as you can get!! 🥳 maybe just test again in a few days with those other tests as they may just be less sensitive x

I'm similar @jazzibelle iv got another v faint line again today but saving my CB digital for after AF would be due as I know they're not as sensitive. Don't want to believe it yet until it's 100% clear on the tests!

Fingers crossed for you

@Pink15 just remember sometimes people will get symptoms and sometimes people don't! So its not a great indicator, it'll happen. Are you doing your bbt? I think that's the best tool along with opks.
I'm okay, just thought I'd be pregnant by now and currently under going some tests to see if everything is okay

@Missgoldilocks that's so true! I know the feeling I also thought I'd get pregnant straight away! I thought you could slip up once and that'd be it when I was trying not to conceive 😂
I just use my app and CM to try and predict cos my cycle are 28 days so hoping they're accurate... I tried opks but they stressed me out. Not sure if temping would work for me as I often wake up at different times for shifts?
Good luck with the tests - how long have you been trying?

@Missgoldilocks sorry AF has arrived, I’m getting cramps today so think she’s in her way here too and will bring us on to cycle 9 :(, I didn’t think I’d be pregnant quickly but I don’t think I had anticipated it taking this long and how frustrating it becomes when so many ladies seems to get preggo in a flash

@MamaPixie I did a test this morning 🤦‍♀️ it was another BFN of course. Due AF on Wednesday so I’m going to leave it now until then I think 🤔 I’ve run out of early tests and only have a Clearblue left ...

@Pink15 came off non hormonal contraception in April last year but started tracking in September so 11 months but I say 8 really lol. Yeah my cycles are clock work too 28 days and I ovulate on cd15 every single cycle lol I guess I do all the tracking because I feel like I have some control even though I don't need to! Getting bored now might just stop hahaha! I got pregnant very quickly 2 times when I was younger, I'm 27 now but I was 18 then. I have one son who's 8 so yeah I never thought I'd be trying for so long either

@MrsMeow2019 it's crap isn't it 💐🤗 we will get there! My partner now doesn't have children so I really want to give him one! I have an 8 year old son so seems like a life time away honestly lol

@Missgoldilocks that makes sense about the control thing like I record every time we dtd on my app but dunno if it really helps anything 😂 how long did it take you to get pregnant with your first son? Is your partner getting the tests too? I'm 26 so similar age! How did you get the doctor to do tests before 1 year? Everyone seems to say the cut off is 1 year 🤔

@Pink15 yeah he is the main one getting tested and if he is all clear then they will check deeper on me. Took my 1 month with my son, crazy lol. I told my doctor I had been off contraception 11 months (we only just got the ball rolling) and she said the average time it takes is 8 months so she was happy to go through with some tests for me! She also said you aren't infertile till you can't concieve for 1 years so there's that too lol

@Missgoldilocks everyone seems to say different things haha! I read the other day someone's doctor had said 6 months is average! But good to know if We do end up needing tests!

@HallowsandHorcruxes I’ll keep everything crossed for you! I retested again this evening and it’s the first evening BFP, albeit still faint! That was just one of those cheap Boots ones.

So emotional, isn’t it? Without the several BFP loud and clear in a row, you want to keep yourself from getting too excited, as so much can happen this early on.

Praying it’s not a CP! Thinking sticky thoughts ❤️

@MrsMeow2019 I'm holding out hope for both of us for Wednesday!! The frers arrived an hour ago - obviously my knickers were halfway down my legs by the time I got to the bathroom 30 seconds later....
BFN.
I literally don't know why I do this to myself 😂 all I want to do now is scream into a pillow and punch myself in the ovaries!
There wasn't even an evaporation line. I kind of figured that there would be at least a hint of something there 🙈

Usually 28-29 day cycle.
I'm on cd30 now. Got a BFN yday though with a Sainsbury's test. I usually get cramps the day before AF but nothing to suggest she's on her way, yet no pregnancy symptoms either. Hrmph.

@jazzibelle congratulations 🥳 Hope it is a sticky bean for you 💓 you must be so excited !

@MamaPixie the BFNs are awful arnt they even when you’re 100% positive it will be negative 👎. I hope we get BFPs too we’ve got a few more days so we’re still in with a chance !

Back to work tomorrow ! Almost glad of the distraction 😂

@MrsMeow2019 thank goodness for work 😊 Got a BFN again this morning, think it's going to to stick. I've bought some ubiquinol this morning in the hope it will make a difference next cycle. I hope you have better news in the next few days 🤞🏽

14dpo took a frer this morning .... I swear I see the faintest faintest of lines when I hold it up to light... (I do this every test I take and have never seen a possibility or a slight hope of a line) please fingers crossed. I wasn’t able to pick it up on my phone. Af due tomorrow would a line so faint the day before af possibly be bad?
