Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Here we go again girls! 💕 Wishing you all so much baby dust for this cycle! 👶🏼
CD4 for me today, cycle #60000000 at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ TTC bubs #2 since Jan 2020.
2 miscarriages, umpteen national lockdowns, at least a stone heavier 🙄 Let's do this 💪❤️

@gracie2307
My AF due on 14th. Yes I had oxford and felt ill for a day and then really tired for a day. Heard pfizer is not too bad after 1st jab , tired and sore arm but worse after 2nd jab - with a day or so of mild fever symtoms. But overall absolutely fine with ot and if how i felt was a mold sample of covid then I absolutely dont want it!!!
I dont normally get sore boobs but could be due to pending AF , every month I seem to feel different xx

Hi @gracie2307 yes they said everything was normal 🙂 I started spotting yesterday morning, just the once then started again last night and been spotting since, had proper af cramps but not full blown bleeding yet. My cycles are 25-28 days and today is cd29. I was all ready for af but now it's taking so long it's doing my head in 😫

Hey everyone! I was on the jan bus and I’m just jumping on to feb bus to ask a quick question... AF is due next week and I’ve got a smear appointment tomorrow morning. Has anyone had smear in tww?? Google says it should be fine but I’m worried that it might ruin all our hard work this month (and believe it is a a lot of hard work we’ve decided to do every other day this month from CD1 to now!! So much BDing!!)
Anyway let me know your thoughts.

Hope everyone’s ticking over nicely.

🧡

Hi @gracie2307 Thanks for your message. I'm alright...just keen to get today's meeting with work over and done with! 😬 Will report back later! A bit of me likes the idea of having no job and just being able to relax and ttc, but the other bit of me knows the reality that we need my salary too, so no job means job hunting! Which is not fun at the best of times...! We shall see what 9:30am brings 😬🤞😬🤞😬🤦🏼‍♀️
How are you getting on? I see you mentioned cramping. Cramps have always been my first symptom in all pregnancies - so keeping fingers tightly crossed for you! God I hope Feb is our month! 🤞🤞🤞xx

@Sar1010 I'm overdue on my smear now due to ttc. I've booked it in twice but found out I'm pregnant so decided not to do it. Two mc later and I'm still blimin not pregnant and no smear! You've reminded me that I need to rebook it though. I try to get an appointment right before AF due so I can do a FRER before it and cancel if pregs. I read a lot of conflicting stuff around whether you should or shouldn't. It's probably fine but as you say, after trying so hard you don't want that to mess it up! I remember being pregnant with my ds when I needed a smear last and they won't do a smear until after pregnancy x

Hi @gracie2307 - I happened to spot that your AF is due the 15th/16th and so is mine. I feel like I’m going crazy here in the tww. My DP said my boobs looked bigger yesterday and instantly I was like “that must be a sign” 🙈🤪. Why do we do it to ourselves every month?!?

How long have you been ttc for?

AF is here so I'm out. Really thought we'd done it to be honest.

I'm looking at buying either preseed or the conceive plus applicators. What would everyone recommend? We already have a tube of conceive plus but nothing for the inside if you get me 🤣🤦‍♀️

CD 26 for me. Had the most painful boobs last night so had the urge to test this morning. There's a SUPER faint line right?!

@Tara1711 I can see something! 🤞🤞

@Tara1711
I can see something too fingers crossed. When is your AF due ? 🤞🏻🤞🏻xxx

@Sar1010
I think its perfectly harmless so I would have it in 2ww. Only reason why they say not after a postive pregnancy test is it can come back abnormal due to hormone and cell changes but as there is a chance you also may not be pregnant I would have it done xx

@MgW1 @Dogmum13 I seem to have either a 28 day or 31 day cycle and I'm CD26 so either 2 days or 5 days!

I'm trying to remain calm!! I've never had even an inkling of a line on a FRER

Question:
So, we bit the bullet & spoke to our doctor about fertility concerns (we're only 7 cycles in but I got worried if we left it the 12th month that we'd get stuck in long waiting lists).
I've had a full blood test already due to some small concerns about elevated thyroid levels (which are normal now) , so she's booking me in for a swab.

Has anyone had this one? I think it tests for chlamydia, but not sure what else?

DH is being referred for SA (hurray!), so we've our fingers crossed the clinic is actually open (doctor wasn't sure, but she was told they were supposed to be open in Feb)

@Tara1711 when will you test again?

@Dogmum13 I'm telling myself to wait a couple of days but no doubt I will test again tomorrow!

@Tara1711
Im CD 26 and i did CB this am , when i put the testbin the window and tipped it towards the light i think i have something very faint but could be evap. My cycle is 31 days xx

@Tara1711 I'd be the same lol. I hope you and @MgW1 both get your bfps 🙂

I got af yesterday so starting cycle 16 now 😬

@Tara1711 definitely test tomorrow morning and see if you get a clearer line 🤞🤞

@Wowthisisreal sorry about AF 😞

@MgW1 those bloomin evap lines are you gonna test again tomorrow or wait a few days?

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking been thinking about you this morning hope your meeting is going okay 🤞🤞🤞

Day 7 of flashing smileys today.. it's funny how you can go from loving that flashing face to wanting to punch it in the space of a few days 😂😂😂

@bubblegeek22
I wish I hadnt started testing but im om cd26 and when @Tara1711 did a test I thought id do one too! I dont know whether evap or the start of something as so faint so will do another and yes prob tomorrow now , looks like another cycle of driving myself insane xx

@Dogmum13
Are you looking into private tests still?
Well it will be a year end of next month since
we started trying and I have had 2 mc's (14 wks &5 weeks) .... its been a bumpy road im hoping for the light at the end of the tunnel 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Has anyone used a clear blue digital early response? I'm tempted to buy one!

@MgW1 we are all so good at saying we will wait til AF but the call of those tests is loud 😂 whyyy do we do this to ourselves! I do hope your next one is darker so you can save a few days of obsessing!!

@MgW1 yes we have decided to wait til July as that will be 18 months then as I've heard a lot of people say some of their friends have taken 18 months

Thanks to all of you who sent kind messages. I got the job! Thank goodness for that - maternity leave is still on the cards! Better start making this baby already! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Exciting news for those of you who have got faint positives! Keeping everything crossed for you.

Baby dust to everyone 😘xx
