March 2021 TTC Bus!

[gracie2307]

Hey everyone! Thought I would start a March 2021 TTC bus. I'm TTC for first baby, cycle #8, CD12 hopping off from Feb 2021 bus. Wishing lots of baby dust and BFPs to all! Xx

@Lins3y Yes, definitely no harm in it tonight.. and then I need a rest and I think OH does too 😂

Wow your tests are looking great. Also, the digital one which says Pregnant - amazing!! That’s so good for 12DPO too. Congratulations 🥳 x

@Lizbb 😂😂😂 it does have to be done!! My partner said ‘I don’t remember you being like this with our first?’ ... I fell pregnant within the first month of trying and just coming off pill, didn’t track a single thing, nothing... now I’m like a crazy lady! 😂 xx

@Lins3y thank you, I only have test left that you say when expected period is due but will use tomorrow to see but af not due until Wednesday, your test are looking good congratulations x

@confused678866 😂😂 omg same. He said if it happens it does or doesnt that after all we have 2 already and I did t have to track with the others. Tbh I didnt track when I came off the pill in jan but I think cos I've read so much from online I've turn it into a habit that's not needed 😂😂

Thanks girls...I've been paranoid about the lines looking q bit light.

@Lizbb and @Confused678866 I am exactly the same! With my first 2 we didn't even have to try, it just happened! This time I've been on forums, racking bbt, opks, testing ever month from 7dpo obsessing over line darkness 😆

@Lins3y Yeah we thought it would take ages first time around as I came off the pill in the June and started trying straight away but I thought my cycle would have least had to get back to normal first so my partner thought I was crazy when I went to buy a pregnancy test.. and I was pregnant!
This time around, the main reason I’m tracking is because I’m missing my fertile window! My cycles have been as short as 22 days one month and then 29 the following month. We’ve been TTC since January but this is my first month of tracking ovulation. I came off the pill in September too hoping to get my regular cycle back before we started trying! I definitely would love another baby, maybe even another 2!

@Lizbb Your tests are definitely looking good - how many DPO are you?
Yeah as I mentioned above, I didn’t track anything either and it happened straight away.. I think I definitely feel more stressed this time around as I’m thinking about it far too much and the OPK’s have been keeping it fresh in my head.
No more testing this month as I had my peak on Friday so hoping to try and forget about it all for a little bit.. even though I’m now in the TWW 🙈
Xx

@Confused678866 haha my partner said the same about being a piece of meat 🤣 ahh the TWW begins! Do you think you'll hold off testing til AF is due or do you think you'll be an early tester?

@G123S hi and welcome 🙂 I think having an active lifestyle is good 🙂 i did Google about stress and from what I saw, it shouldn't have an effect unless its like a huge traumatic event kind of stress? I'm sorry I don't have any helpful advice, I'm quite new to all this but I'm wishing you lots of luck x

@Lins3y those tests look really good. You can definitely see the progression between the days and to get a digital pregnant so early is amazing! Youre still early at 12dpo. Have you tested again since? I'm very lucky to have my toddler and to have gone through the first pregnancy without really being aware of what could go wrong. Knowledge is power and I am more prepared this time but sometimes I think ignorance can be bliss and I'm overthinking everything now and not letting myself be excited.

@amyannx good luck for testing hun x

@Lizbb haha im the same. Didnt track with the first as we were more 'not preventing ' so i didn't test til 5 days after AF was missed as I just didn't think I was. I had been camping during what would have been the TWW and went bodybuilding, drank some rum etc. Now I'm sat here wondering whether I should have a second cup of tea or whether it's too much caffeine. 🙄

I did another test this morning and it does look pink but I'm not sure it's as dark as I hoped compared to yesterday afternoon test? The pic with two tests in is yesterday morning with BFN then a different test in the afternoon with a squinty line. The separate single test is this morning. Can anyone see any progression or should I just see what tomorrow's test brings? I'm 10dpo today

@melissa112 I really don’t know about testing at all. I’ve done it both ways the last 2 cycles. First cycle, I was actually a day or two late, I tested and got a BFN and then AF showed up.. then last month, I was convinced I’d conceived due to lots of ‘pregnancy symptoms’ so I tested early with a FRER and it was a BFN again and then AF showed up 6 days early! I’m really torn this month.. I think I’ll just how it all goes and how I’m feeling etc.

Oh your new test is definitely getting darker!!! Amazing!! Are you convinced yet?? Xx

@melissa112 thank you, think I'm out this month 12dpo still negative but I ran out of sensitive test so had to use one from expected day of period x

@melissa112 there is definitely progress in those tests. I'd say your 10dpo one is darker than mine at that stage. Thanks for the comments on my tests...im now 13dpo and was going to test again but think I'd just be causing myself anxiety over nothing! I think you would be able to get a bfp with a digital with that 10dpo line! I know what you mean about the who ignorance is bliss...I worried all the way through my 2nd pregnancy as I have a lot of knowledge due to my job. My first pregnancy i hadn't a clue and sailed my way through!

@amyannx oh im sorry you're still getting bfns 😔 the tww really is cruel x

Thanks @melissa112
I know it’s good to stay healthy and active but some people say I do too much.

My cycles are all over the place. Gone from 28 day average. Last two months have been 32 days

All - on Premom ov sticks but if you leave the sticks on the side for longer than 5 mins can the result change? The highest surge I have is 0.72

@Lins3y thank you, I had to use the high test so not as sensitive as I ran out but would think by now it would show, af is due Wednesday but been getting cramps for a few days so think it's on the way x

Hi all, jumping on the bus, quick intro - I was on here back in 2018 and fell pregnant with my now 2 year old.

Back again now as started TTC again in January. Due on on Saturday and keeping everything crossed, but have very slight cramps and twinges today so not overly hopeful. Normally an obsessive POAS-er so trying to hold out.

How's everyone doing?

@melissa112 I see a line! How exciting! In answer to your question, my period arrived just after my first post on this thread. I kinda knew it wasn't going to be this month as we weren't DTD at the right time due to me having back pains so we only really caught the last day of my fertile period. Oh well, the journey continues!

@clairehr Hi, welcome! I've only just joined the thread too. I've got a 14 month old daughter and we're now TTC #2. Had a bad go at it this month but I was in so much pain with my back that I couldn't walk so sex was out of the question 😂

Hi everyone I thought I would hop along as well. I've been TTC#1 for 13 months. I just had a chemical pregnancy in the previous cycle. Bleeding finished yesterday so I'm on CD6 and just waiting for FW which could be 2 weeks from now.

@Lins3y 😂 it's so funny really. It's a mind thing. Cos we keep reading things we feel we also have to do it.but tbh I've learnt alot and its helped to understand my body etc. I didnt even no I had to ovulate to get pregnant 🤷‍♀️😂😂

@gracie2307 thanks hun. I'm cd 15. Had another high strip just now. So will dtd later and also did yesterday night. Great timing as well as hubby off over these days. Tbh started all of this cos I read after a mc one may not ovulate but I must say I've learnt loads. Good on u babe no more testing. When I hit my tww I wont even have time to test cos of work and kids. 😂. Try keep yourself busy. How many days are u there. Baby dust to you

@melissa112😂😂 crazy isnt. I only tested like 6 weeks later. I was like to hubby 'hold on I've havent seen my af for this month's. Cos I wasnt testing or keeping track etc didnt even notice any symptoms or changes 😂😂

@melissa112 I can see a line. Same i would say. I think it's still early and will eventually pick up. Have you done any blood test

Hi gang! I always read these threads but have never posted! Am on the dreaded 2ww as of yesterday and have a strange pulling heavy feeling in (what I imagine) is my uterus. I think I had this with my first pregnancy but cant be sure... trying not to think too much into it! Easier said than done lol x

I see a line @melissa112 🙌🏻

Eurgh the tww is killing me!
I'm 10dpo and in my first cycle after having my coil removed last month.
I didn't get any PMS symptoms on my coil so I don't know if this is pms or not.
I have cramps, headache, tired, nauseas (deffo not going to puke but enough to put me off food) and yesterday I cried at TV and I never cry at TV.
AF is due end of the week so I'm making myself wait at least another week before testing.

@charm23 Oh no, is your back better now? We had a bit of a rubbish time this time too as OH hurt his knee last time, haha! Fingers crossed for us both though!

Just got impatient and decided to test! I'm 10dpo and just got this! Eeek!

I'm out af has just showed. Not sure what to do for the next cycle as it's my ds birthday December if I did get pregnant next cycle then I would be due around the exact same time x

@AthersB congratulations!!
I'm making myself wait a little bit longer 😬I don't have any tests in or I'd probably cave 🤣
