Never started a bus before.
I’m out for March as just got af and have long cycles.

Will be hoping for a bfp mid April.

Anyone want to hop aboard?

I’m ttc#2 cycle#4

Ds turning 2 this month so hoping to give him a sibling for Christmas 😁

Oooh. My temp has dropped again this morning to just above the cover line so I’m getting prepared for af.

I’m looking on the positives though and at least I’ve now got a whole cycle of temps I can compare against. And I’m starting to feel really empowered getting to know my body properly after 30 years! Also going to try use the time and get in a bit better shape. I’m not in bad shape atm but would be nice going into a pregnancy half a stone lighter 😊

OrangeJ · 08/04/2020 06:54

@Diorissimo1985 don’t do it! Implantation normally happens between 7-10 dpo so even if you had implanted early at 6dpo then I don’t think your hcg levels would have risen to a detectable level yet. BUT if you have some cheap tests you don’t mind wasting and want to get you poas craving satisfied I probably would do it because I don’t listen to my own advice. Lol. Just be prepared for it to be negative.

Franklydear · 08/04/2020 07:31

@Diorissimo1985, I actually feel better not testing all the time, so I stopped doing that, having said that, I am cd14, and probably just ovulated... I might need you to say it back to me in a week...

Diorissimo1985 · 08/04/2020 07:36

Thanks... the temptation is too strong! I’ve only got a few First Response ones, which aren’t that cheap. What’s the earliest I could test do you think? I was thinking I could last until Saturday Grin

Diorissimo1985 · 08/04/2020 07:45

Also, I remember having implantation bleeding with DC1 the first time round, which happened around 10dpo - I mistook it for an early period as cycles were quite irregular then.
Need to keep busy but the days really drag at the moment Sad

Juno231 · 08/04/2020 07:52

@orangej gah don't remind me - I've been meaning to lose weight for ages preparing for a pregnancy but just never did... Lockdown doesn't help either, I'm eating so much out of sheer boredom!

@Diorissimo1985 ha what signs would you want to see before implantation?! Far too early girl - hold off until Sunday at least 😉

Florence13 · 08/04/2020 08:17

@Diorissimo1985 don’t do it yet you can hold off a bit longer!!

@OrangeJ your not definitely out until af arrives but feel I should take you approach and be more positive about getting to know my body. Just wish I knew what my body was doing at present as no sign of AF but no other symptoms either.

popcorndiva · 08/04/2020 08:34

I actually feel better not having the tests here to take (still under lock and key)
I hope I am saying this on Saturday.

Diorissimo1985 · 08/04/2020 08:44

@Juno231 ha! You know, reliable signs like having a feeling in your bones a wee bit pregnant Grin I know I need to get a grip! Ha

Juno231 · 08/04/2020 08:47

@Diorissimo1985 haha I'm just trying to deter you - I'm def the kinda girl who will succumb to POAS at 9DPO!

Positevibes · 08/04/2020 09:03

@Crash1d AF is due in 6 days and I have 1 test at home. After the disappointment we had in Feb I'm trying to hold of until its at least 1 day late but I'm not sure I have that much will power 🙄😬

Franklydear · 08/04/2020 09:07

@Diorissimo1985, if feeling helps, this will be my month, if I am correct and cramps were ovulation, we bd enough in the recommended intervals, so... I found it helps not telling dh when fertile week is, I am sure he can work it out.
Af came early last month so didn’t test at all that cycle, feels nicer than another bfn, so this time I am going to presume a 26 days cycle (app says it should be the average) and test when at least 4 days late, or so I pledge, feel free to remind me next week if the only test I have comes out

ApplePie86 · 08/04/2020 09:33

11DPO here and definitely starting to feel more crampy so assume AF coming in a couple days. Temperatures still not playing ball and they've gone up 6 out of the last 7 days although I guess it'll soon reach the temp I was at start of last cycle.

Seems like loads of us are 11/12DPO so lots of AF or testing at the same time!

Megan1591 · 08/04/2020 10:27

Hey can I join? I’m only 2DPO, me and the DH have been trying for 4 years with no luck, we were meant to be starting IVF this month(due to low morphology) but has been postponed due to COVID. With us both being at home this month, we have given it a good shot. Only got one positive opk and negatives either side. Feeling realistic but forever hopeful.

Sdoo4 · 08/04/2020 10:30

@ApplePie86 I’m 11dpo today too. Yesterday I felt pretty rubbish and quite sick but today I feel fine. Have had the odd cramping here and there so convinced AF is going to show up soon.

Juno231 · 08/04/2020 11:08

@Megan1591 welcome Megan! 4 years sounds really tough and I'm sorry covid has gotten in the way of ivf. Hopefully it'll only be a minor delay in the grand scheme of things! Can I ask how old you are?

I'm 3 DPO today so will be nice to have you here for the TWW!

Megan1591 · 08/04/2020 11:15

@Juno231 yeah fingers crossed it doesn’t hold things up to much, but it’s understandable. I’m 29 and husband is 34. You?
How long have you been ttc?

Juno231 · 08/04/2020 11:43

@Megan1591 at least time is on your side ivf wise so that's good! Husband and I are both 32 but I have a family history of early menopause (mum was 31, I think paternal granny was 30 but not sure hers would be hereditary through the paternal line?) so I do worry about having left it quite late. Unfortunately OH was dead against it until recently as he was a "later" kinda guy and tends to think I worry too much and it won't happen to us...

This is only cycle 3 for us so not too bad yet but it's still hard to see all my friends getting pregnant on their first or second cycles.

Nora11 · 08/04/2020 11:56

Hi everyone! Hope it is ok if I join in? Currently about 8dpo and feeling very impatient! 😂 Going to try not to test before my period is due this month but we will see if I actually manage to stick to that! 😂 This is our third cycle. A lot of my OHs family were born around December so I'm hoping maybe now is a lucky time for us 🤣

Littlebump2018 · 08/04/2020 12:20

I know you shouldn't open a clear blue digital test but I have. I must be going mad!

First picture was yesterday or the day before I can't completely remember and the second is from 2nd wee of today.

But said not pregnant. But there are more lines on the second picture. Anyone have any experience of this?

@ApplePie86 Yup same here, 11/12DPO and cramps plus some spotting so I am guessing that the dreaded AF will appear at the weekend!

Megan1591 · 08/04/2020 15:39

@Juno231
It’s so tough, my sister got pregnant last year after 2 months of trying. It was super tough to try and not be upset. Fingers crossed for you this month.

ApplePie86 · 08/04/2020 17:47

Ahhhh...pretty sure I'm spotting now which means AF coming tomorrow :-(

RyanStartedTheFire · 08/04/2020 18:35

Hi everyone, I've been following the thread from afar. I'm on cycle #6 TTC our third DC after Mirena coil removal last October. I'm around 8DPO today but have had irregular cycles since the removal so not 100%.

2020journey · 08/04/2020 21:55

Hope everyone is ok. I'm out. AF arrived today. Good luck everyone. See some of you over in May!xx
