Happy New TTC Bus - Jan 2021 - it's going to be a corker!

[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Thought I'd kick this off...

CD 7 for me following 2nd mc 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ready to kick the new year off with a bang (not literally, sorry husband), and get a blimin bun in the oven already!
Come on ladies, let's get each other through this. BFP's coming our way soon I just know it 😘💪🙌xx

Hi Girls, sorry I haven't been on the forum for a while. I've been trying to keep my mind off TTC. I hope you're all doing well and hope some of you got your BFPs. x❤️x

I was hoping someone could give me some advice...
I was 3 days late for AF on 25th Jan and then AF arrived very heavy with lots of clots. We haven't been actively TTC, but this month DTD a few times without protection. My app says I ovulated on CD19 which was one of the the days we DTD! I'm bleeding a lot more than usual filling up pads quickly. I normally have light flow periods and this is not normal for me. Sorry TMI, but I passed a big clot earlier and felt it come out and it made me feel queasy and nauseous.
Just wondering if maybe I'm having an early miscarriage?
Has anyone else experienced this? xx

@Dogmum13 yes I think it's hormones to check ovulation. My sis had them done and that's what she said, she then started clomid as they didn't think she was ovulating and had bfp first month after

Have you tested recently @PeanuttyButter? AF being reluctant to come could be a good sign 🤞🏽

I'm in TWW now so will keep an eye out for Feb bus. Trying to chill but watching one born every minute this morning, DH rolled his eyes then had to go for a shower as was making him too emotional so think he's as bad as me!

@SarahMumof1DS not experienced that personally but I know friends had similar with a chemical pregnancy, had faint positive but then really heavy period so it could be. Hope it settles for you and you feel ok.

Thanks @sandsandwiches, I did a test at 10dpo thinking I was 13dpo but after I was late my app recalculated my ov. Then after that I didn't think to test again thinking AF was coming. I just did a test and it's negative so I'll never know now. Just very strange for me. I guess I'll see how my next period is. Thanks for your help ☺️ xx

Thanks @JeanieJ - fingers crossed this next month is successful for you too. AF finally reared her head today - hurrah! 3/4 days late and heavy. I'm pleased tbh. Means the mc is done and dusted and I'm onto my next, hopefully nicely fertile, month 🤗x

@PositiveParrot how long has it been since you stopped the pill?x

@PrettyPinkPansies thank you lovely!🤞 And yes I seem to get a few cramps around ovulation too x

@Dogmum13 good luck! You've done all you can. Time to relax and look after yourself for the next 10 days x

@millionairesshortbread4 good luck!! Will you test or just wait and see if AF arrives?x

@Tara1711 good luck with some silent dtd! You could always try the turkey baster method this month if tricky! We got pregnant the month we had to do that at staying at the in-laws! 🤣x

@MgW1 im ok thanks love. Just ploughing on. Much brighter than last week which is a relief - hate feeling depressed and low-energy. Work stuff is ongoing. Have to express interest in some alternative roles by eop today if we want them. Then they go to interview next week. Probably will know the outcome in a couple of weeks 😬🤞
I'm not convinced I ovulated directly after either of my mc despite my body giving lots of ovulation 'signs'. So annoying there is no definitive way of knowing. Good luck for this month though - hopefully super fertile! 🤞 Will be keeping fingers crossed for you x

@Dogmum13 I believe they predominantly check progesterone levels at 21day bloods.x

@PeanuttyButter hope you're ok and not struck too badly with covid? I've found in the past that flu has delayed my period so it could be that having an effect. I was 3/4 days last this month but have had very small amounts of spotting for 3 days. Ended up doing about 4 pregnancy tests this month and just couldn't work out what was happening! Hope you get either a BFP (preferably!) or AF soon so at least you can put your mind at rest x

@RAA852021 I am literally SURROUNDED by babies too! 4 of my closest friends are pregs, and my boss told me yesterday she's pregs 🤪🔫 I hate how unavoidable it is. I've also noticed on social media that celeb pregnancies are EVERYWHERE. I guess there is very little celeb gossip except for that right now...still not easy being constantly bombarded though 🤦🏼‍♀️x

@SarahMumof1DS sorry to hear you're going through that. Could well have been a chemical. Hope you're feeling better soon xxx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking thank you. I'm starting to think maybe it could be. Hopefully the heavy bleeding stops soon. xx

Hi all! I really hope you don't mind me jumping one here... I've been watching the thread for a while but haven't posted yet! I'm super confused and wondered if anyone could help...

I'm TTC #1 and currently 11dpo and have had what I think is a (very!) faint positive on an internet test, but a very clear BFN on a Clear Blue (not a digital one). I'd love to get your opinion on whether the internet could be an evap line so I don't get my hopes up too much but I have no idea how to post a picture! Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?!

Thanks so much and sorry for being useless with technology!!xxx

*jumping on! Oh dear a typo in my first post!!!

Ah have downloaded the app and had a note that new users can't post photos immediately! I'll try later! So sorry for spamming the thread xxx

AF is here and in full swing. Just glad that it's here finally and can move on to the next cycle.

Hey all hope you are doing ok! Im Cd11 today. Im trying the femometer app and being more religious at tracking BBT this cycle see if there is anything I can glean from it. Also ordered a progesterone day 21 test online to see how it goes. Feel more positive than I did last week and trying very hard not to dwell too much on it how many cycles have passed. How are we all? Special hellos to @BubsNumber2inTheMaking, @MgW1, @Dogmum13, @SunnydazeQ and @SRyellow xx

Hi @gracie2307
Im on cd13 , glad to hear your feeling positive , we will all get there 🤞🏻 xx

Thanks everyone 🙂

Hi @gracie2307 good to see you back 🙂

Hi @MgW1 thank you 😊 lots of baby dust and wishes our way! Hows your week been? How are you finding this cycle? Xx

Hey thank you @Dogmum13 ☺ how are you doing? Have you had your day 21 test? Xx

@gracie2307
Yes i feel ok , think things have re-adjusted post chemical. I was a day late with AF.... in need of some good news and i know you are too l. Do you have a irregular cycle ? Xx

@gracie2307 I'm grand thanks. Hope you are keeping ok. I'm going on Friday, dreading it 😬

Good im glad this cycle has been a bit better for you @MgW1. Fingers crossed this is our month 🙏 Are you doing SMEP or just DTD on fertile days? Yeah my cycles can be a bit haywire, generally the range is between 29-34 days. Makes it hard as if I'm on cd30 and say if my last cycle was 29 days then I think ahh its late but then nothing then it turns up a few days later. Then even harder when I expect a longer cycle like 32 days and it turns up day 29 😕 sucks being a woman sometimes men don't have to deal with the same crap lol xx

Good luck for Friday @Dogmum13! Keeping everything crossed for you 🙏 did they say when you would get your results? Xx

@gracie2307 they said it's usually just a few days. I'm pretty positive I'm ovulating though because I get severe ovulation pains. I suppose the only thing would be if the egg isn't actually popping out of getting to where it needs to be 🤔

My hot flushes are back again 😔 has anyone else experienced this post ovulation? Last month it starting at 7dpo and this time it started at 2dpo

@gracie2307
Just tonight , friday and sunday , i think I will ovulate either sat or sunday. Might do an extra day depending if and when i get my peak. Started on the clear blues yesterday. I wasnt going to have any alcohol but decided il have a few wines on saturday, read its not advisable around possible implantation time due to the fact alcohol can increase your body temperature which isnt good for implantation which is something i didnt know.(hence the dip) xxx

@gracie2307 hi! Glad you feel more positive, it really is the hardest thing every month, I never thought it would be as hard as it is! How’s the temping going? I keep finding myself doing it still but need to stop as any change makes me worry! Have you tried acupuncture? I did find that helpful, don’t know if that what finally helped get the positive but definitely good for stress too xx
