@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Its awful is it like a competitive interview with colleagues ? Is it via zoom? You will smash it xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 30/01/2021 17:33

@MgW1 yes 😞 6 roles down to 2 and all against the rest of my friends. Rubbish whether I stay or go really! Although lack of mat leave would definitely make leaving worse. Ah well, just going to have to ride it and do my best. Gotta be fated πŸ’ͺ Thanks for the support xx

Hello! Can I tag along? CD1 of Cycle 8 for baby 1. I’m a mad woman today AF just arrived and my best friend due her baby any day. So lots of mixed emotions hereπŸ₯΄ We’ve done fertility tests privately because in my pre TTC ignorance I thought being off the pill would be enough and it would just happen straight away.., luckily all good results but that was back in July, WHEN will it happen (Sorry rant over!)
Feb has to be the month for us all🀞🏼

PeanuttyButter · 30/01/2021 22:27

Hi all, hopped aboard this bus. Let's hope it's a lucky one for us all x

Dogmum13 · 31/01/2021 00:06

Hi everyone πŸ™‚ I'm on cycle 15 ttc no1. Been trying since December 2019. Just had day 21 bloods done by a nasty nurse and now have a bruised arm πŸ˜₯

sunshineandshowers3 · 31/01/2021 08:16

@Dogmum13 Hi, sorry to hear she butchered your arm!! I had my test done last month and all was fine but can’t help thinking it could be something else πŸ€”. Has your partner had his SA done yet? xx

Penguinmumma · 31/01/2021 08:48

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking just taking my place near the doors of the bus for my farts to escape out of still. Af due on the 4th feb.

Peadsnurse101 · 31/01/2021 09:42

Hi all, I’m cycle 2 of first baby. We are trying preseed this month and trying to be as relaxed as we can about it! Hard to do in a lockdown with nothing fun to think about haha, as I’m sure you all know! Fingers crossed for everyone this monta! 🌟

JeanieJ · 31/01/2021 09:55

Jumping on too!
7th cycle and currently 4dpo.
This month we didn't use OPK to reduce anxiety (which really helped), but I continued temping and of all months, I ovulated 3 days later than I normally do πŸ™„, meaning the last time we DTD was two days before I actually ovulated (had been every day for 5 days up I until, so I think I'm already out this month πŸ˜•

Xxdxx2020 · 31/01/2021 10:05

I'm jumping on this bus too! I'm on cd4, ttc #2, 1st cycle officially 'trying'. Good luck everyone x

Fifi1086 · 31/01/2021 10:14

Hey everyone can I join?? I'm CD 5 of cycle 2, although it's my first cycle after having first proper AF after coming off the pill at end of Dec. Day 5 now and AF still going strong 😭 I forgot how awful she is without the pill! Really hope this is our month but going to try not to obsess and not test unless overdue because i tested early last week and got a faint positive only to bleed the next day. If I've a chemical I'd rather not know!

Dogmum13 · 31/01/2021 11:37

@sunshineandshowers3 I have a really bad fear of needles so she's just set me back about 10 steps πŸ™„ we're waiting on referral for SA but dp only has one testicle so we expect it to be a little below average anyway although the problem could actually be me 😬

Clapham4 · 31/01/2021 13:26

@Dogmum13 at least it’s out of the way for you xx

Has anyone tried any TTC tricks yet? I tried the soft disc / moon cup one, to keep the swimmers up there longer and it got stuck and had to call 111 to help me get it out😳 so I don’t recommend that method to anyone if you’re not used to using them like me πŸ˜…

Fifi1086 · 31/01/2021 13:29

@Clapham4 so sorry but that made me laugh because I bought one and when I took it out I was like ehhhh there is no way I'm getting that up there πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ then I tried to and I couldn't get it to fully open up, and then felt like I was vacuuming my womb out when I removed it so safe to say I won't be trying that again!!!

sandsandwiches · 31/01/2021 13:44

Hi everyone, hopping over from Jan bus to distract myself in tww. Just tested in case ovulation was early as I wasn't really sure when it was and of course it was a BFN πŸ™ˆ so much for holding out till af due!

Hope this is a lucky month for everyone, including blood results and job interviews, sounds very stressful @BubsNumber2inTheMaking 🀞🏽 I've got a good feeling about Feb, especially because it's slightly less dark& miserable all the time!

🀣 @Fifi1086 & @Clapham4 sorry the mooncup failed you! I love mine but it definitely took a bit of getting used to. Not tried it for TTC purposes though, I might now!

Clapham4 · 31/01/2021 13:47

@Fifi1086 oh it was traumatising!!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I tried for hours to get it out, I don’t understand how people easily use them. So safe to say I won’t be trying it again

Fifi1086 · 31/01/2021 13:52

Traumatising is the word!! I'm on day 5 of AF today but first AF since coming off pill and I've such bad cramps that have just come on today... is this normal with first post pill AF?

ZiggyStardustt · 31/01/2021 14:23

Hi @Fifi1086fif 😌 sorry to hear you are having a painful AF . Not sure if it’s normal but it was the same for me. I stopped the pill in July and cramps were awful (would wake me up at night) and I never suffered from cramps previously. It look my body a good few months to settle and cramps have mostly subsided , i feel like i only got my first β€˜normal’ AF last month after 6 months. They should really provide us with more information on conceiving after the pill . I know we are all different, hope it settles down for you soon πŸ’•

Clapham4 · 31/01/2021 14:46

@Fifi1086 it probably is normal! How long were you on the pill for? My periods were quite light when I came off it and took a few months to get back to normal x

RHODXB · 31/01/2021 14:46

Hopped over from the jan bus to share!!

Hoping this little one sticks!!! And wishing baby dust to everyone and
Hoping this bus is a lucky one for us all xxx

@sandsandwiches sorry to hear of the BFN! But you’re still in the game until AF shows up so fingers crossed for you 🀞🏼

Clapham4 · 31/01/2021 14:54

@RHODXB congrats!!! Did you have any symptoms? Any tips for us? X

RHODXB · 31/01/2021 15:03

Thank you πŸ™ I have had shooting pains in my nipples, nausea when hungry, cramping especially on one side. I also feel almost like I have cystitis coming!! Just hoping it sticks!! Xxx

RHODXB · 31/01/2021 15:05
