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 💪❤️

@Sar1010 I don't have any experience of ovia but is it based on temps? If so, my app will bounce my ov date around based on my bbt too, although not by as much as a week, usually just a few days. I tend to opk too and the two things don't always align! I guess there are variables that effect my temp, like waking in the night etc, but I would've thought something you wear would be able to see past that?? Unless an implantation temp dip is confusing it? Sorry, this is not helping! I guess the only way to know will be if AF comes. Will you test in the next day or two or just wait?x

Hi @Sar1010, I use Ovia and it just did the same to me changed my ovulation date from last weekend to this weekend and my period is due on 22nd so I think that would be quite late to ovulate. It said due to recent data I entered but I hadnt really put that much in. Think im going to use opks next month so I can be more sure of when I ovulate!

Did another FRER this morning and the line is still there but no darker than then one I took 3 days ago.

If this was going to come of anything surely the line would be darker by now? 😔

@Sar1010 I have had this with Ovia and the month it did it I actually had a 38 day cycle (normal for me is 28-31 days) so it might have actually been correct!

@Sar1010 I use ovia and it seems to change all the time! If you put in your AF date, it automatically changes your peak dates. I’m using a 2 day digital OPK for the first time and now that I’ve entered the smiley result it’s moved my “10” day from today to 2 days ago.

I think I’m going to focus more on the OPK results instead...

Morning all. I've resisted testing again the last few days after my BFN on the FRER earlier in the week so now just waiting to see if AF arrives tomorrow.

Weirdly I've started getting sore nipples the last few days which I have never had before, but maybe that always happens before AF and I've never noticed, rather than a preg symptom...

Top was a few days ago, bottom today.

Chemical? 😭

Would be my second chemical in 3 months

Oh @Tara1711 it could be a chemical but also because the lines are so so faint it may not have been a positive all along. It’s really hard to say. Hope you’re alright. It’s certainly not over till bloody auntie flow turns up at your door ❤️

Thanks all for your Ovia experiences. It’s very weird because it would mean my luteal phase would be 5 days. Which is just way too short and that’s just never happened in any of my other cycles. Usually +opk is on cd13/14 and then I stop ovulating by cd 15.
I agree I’m going to stick with OPKs next month. The certainty helps me a lot I think.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!! And a lovely relaxing weekend xx

Feel like the dreaded AF is on the way. BBT was below the cover line yesterday morning and again today. CD25, 11 DPO and AF is due Monday. My boobs are also a lot less tender this morning after a week of them feeling like bricks I’ve also got AF cramps.... feel like I’m already out as all the signs are pointing to it.

Due date for my pregnancy which ended in ectopic was start of March so maybe with a bit of luck March will be the month we conceive to make the month more bareable.

@Twittwoo2020
Im 11dpo too , my boobs still sore but bfn ( ish ) not stark white but think im seeing things. My due date with first mc was march so I feel sad too 😘💕 xx

Sorry that March is bringing you this sadness and all the what could of been’s @Twittwoo2020 and @MgW1 I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that you both get happy news

Thanks for the kind wishes @dunkedbiscuit.

@MgW1 hopefully you get your BFP this month. I’m out, literally straight after I wrote my message earlier this morning AF came! Onwards and upwards, hopefully next month will be better.

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still in the TWW.

@Twittwoo2020 @MgW1 April would have been mine and FOUR of my closest gf due that month🤦🏼‍♀️ I said to hubby shortly after mc that I'd be fine so long as pregs by the time they're all giving birth but that date is looming now and only a 2nd mc so far to show for the months that have passed 😩 SURELY it's gotta happen for us soon girls! Fingers are firmly crossed for us all. Sending love and fecking oodles of baby dust 💕 x

Oh @BubsNumber2inTheMaking I’m sending so much good karma your way

@Incrediblytired thanks lovely - too you too! 😘x

Hi @Twittwoo2020. Hope your doing ok and fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for you for March xx
I really hope you don’t mind me asking you about the ectopic- but how did you know/ find out? During a scan or was there tell tale signs/ symptoms? It’s something that always worry’s me but I don’t know too much about it Xx

@Litttlebird thanks so much, surprisingly I’m actually fine this month but maybe I’ve just become numb to the disappointment that seems to be the norm month on month 😂

To be honest I knew nothing about ectopic until it happened to me. So I was around 5.5/6 weeks and I just started to feel unwell one day, went to bed presumed it was normal pregnancy pains/feeling unwell. Then I got quite a bad pain in my left side to the point I got sick from the pain and then it went down my left leg so I could hardly put one foot in front of the other. Went to see my GP 4 hours later and felt a bit better but she sent me to get checked out in the hospital. Immediately they said it was probably ectopic, I wasn’t bleeding or anything. Anyway long story short they couldn’t find the pregnancy so over the course of the following 8 days I had to go for bloods every 2nd day my HCG was going up but not at the rate it should have been I had no pain or anything during that time and they continued to scan me. At close to 7 weeks they finally found it on the scan in my left tube. I was lucky in a sense (if I can even say that) that my HCG was low enough that I could have the methotrexate which is an injection to end the pregnancy. Took about 4/5 weeks after the injection for my hormones to go down, I had a hospital stay of 4 nights about a week after my injection becuAse it wasn’t working quick enough and my pain became unbearable they actually thought my tube was rupturing but thankfully it didn’t. I still have both my tubes but have no idea if the left one is blocked or damaged, that’s the frustrating thing about what happened no one can tell you why.

All I know is the hospital told me the moment I get a positive pregnancy test again in the future I’ll be overseen from the following day getting bloods every 2 days and a scan then at 6 weeks (I’m in Ireland so don’t know if it works the same way everywhere).

@Twittwoo2020 oh that’s such a heartbreaking story for you lovely I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s something that’s hardly talked about but is important to know and watch out for.

I’m glad they saved your tube and good to know you’ll be closely monitored in future. Love and best wishes xx thank you again for sharing - it’s so good to share awareness xx

Wow @Twittwoo2020 that is awful. Must have been so hard go through, you poor thing. (Btw I’m Irish too💚, from Cork, living in London)

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking really feel for you that you’ve so many friends due in April!! That’s hard. Fingers and toes crossed for you it happens very soon 🤞🏼💕

I’m starting to think of TTC / getting preg is like an earthquake, the longer you go without one the likelier it is to happen soon... ridiculous I know but it’s sort of helping 🙈

2dpo today! Anyone else feel like they wish their lives away in the 2ww?? I’m so glad every day that passes is a day closer to knowing either way. I imagine not being in lockdown would be such a nice distraction for us all xx

@Twittwoo2020 so sorry for your loss, it must have been such a difficult time. ps I'm in Ireland too I live in cork 😊

After 10 days of flashing smileys I finally got my peak today and some ewcm this eve so I'm so relieved I honestly thought I wasn't gonna ovulate this cycle.

Morning ladies Got super faint squinter line ( but i did 8dpo and then 2 days of negative ) this morning and last night on a different cheap brand. 12dpo , it will either get darker or AF will arrive tomorrow or monday the latter being the more likeliest. Although i have read that the most viable of eggs implant on days 8,9 or 10 so a faint positive on 10dpo - 12 dpo are good signs so got my fingers crossed here.

Congrats @MgW1 !! That doesn’t look that faint too me💕 it’s a definite line!

A bit TMI from me, but had some CM last night, a faint amount but now worried it was EWCM even though I had my clearblue LH peak on Monday, DTD Sat 6th through to Wednesday 10th and took a break the last 2 days.
Can you ovulate 5 days after a LH peak?

AF has arrived so onto cycle 16!

Going to have a drink tonight!!

@MgW1 that's definitely a good line!! Congratulations!!

Hey ladies, can I join please 😊 should be 1dpo based on opks and femometer app but had ovulation pain for a good few days now. Does anyone else's twinges carry on for a few days after their LH peak and drop? Going to keep doing the BD next couple of days incase I'm one of those nearer to the end of the 48 hours after the peak for ovulation and its actually just happening 🤷‍♀️ I'm 34 been trying on and off for over 1.5 years, with a few 68 day cycles thrown in and 34-40 day cycles giving me less chances in this time frame.
