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

@Court2611 Hey! The TWW drives you crazy doesn't it!! 10DPO is still pretty early so don't count yourself out yet. What type of test did you use?
I'm 32, have a nearly 2 year old and currently TTC baby number 2, third cycle. I'm 8DPO today. Like you, I've had cramps and backache for the last couple of days, very similar to AF so who knows! This is the first time I've felt like this though since trying. AF due next weekend but it did come 6 days early last month 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I don't know what to think!! Xx

So based on my period I'm about 16/17 dpo... No sign of AF who was due Thursday and BFN again today.
However I'm putting my data in Ovia and this morning that's decided that I maybe due to ovulate next week 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
I didn't get a positive on any opk's in my last "fertile window" so I'll take some next week and see what it says

@Confused678866 hello! I used a Clear Blue early response but I’m going to hold off until Thursday to see if AF decides to make an appearance! I never usually get cramps until the day before I’m due so I don’t know what to think either. Last month I was convinced I was pregnant as my period was late which never happens but nope she was just playing tricks and came 2 days late🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m 24 and was really hoping to have a baby this year but I’m not going to stress too much about it xx

@Court2611 Maybe wait and try a FRER test? I have a couple upstairs but I'm resisting as it's too early!
You sound very similar to me right now. My Jan period was 2 days late and then Feb was 6 days early 😑
My cramps were pretty full on yesterday and then became milder and back was like it too and now it's just aching today.
I'm sure you will have your baby soon, it's hard but you will be fine.
I was very lucky with baby number 1, fell pregnant in my first cycle after coming off the pill but it's different this time around! Xx

@Confused678866 yes I think I’ll do that! It’s so annoying isn’t it!! Just when you think you know your cycle in and out it changes🙃 I have my fingers crossed for you🤞🏻Xx

@Court2611 Yes! It throws everything out of the window 🙈 keep us updated 🤞🏻 xx

Welcome @Court2611! That’s still quite early so still time for a BFP, not over until AF rocks up!

@Confused678866 the cramping and back ache sounds promising, I am quietly optimist for you! When do you think you’ll test? I’m ok thanks lovely, I have low expectations for this cycle as we missed the key times but you never know eh?

Hi all,
I'm on CD3 today and periods a lot lighter and getting brown blood..tmi
Anyone else not have very long periods..
I mean like only 4 days???

@Farfaraway1 I am TTCing my 5th...our first together though :)

Hi Everyone,

TCC number 2 for 16 months. I have long cycles and was have been told I’m not ovulating when i had my blood test( made a thread a few days ago about this)

Just wondering if anyone has long cycles 45 days ish and if they ovulate?

@dunkedbiscuit Yeah it's definitely unusual for me at this time of my cycle, constantly think AF will show early though but I just don't know. I think I'm going to hold out for as long as possible. I have a couple of FRER tests but I'm going to maybe wait until 12DPO? I'm 8DPO today.
Ahh you never know though, I wouldn't count yourself out yet!

@Mum2Girls19 I have very short periods.. usually heavy for 3 days and then the 4th day it's just brown

@Mum2Girls19 my period last month was like this, unusual for me, it was barely there by end of day 3

@Mum2Girls19 oh your 5th! How exciting! Wishing you lots of baby dust 🥰
Sometimes my period can be quite short, stop for nearly a full day, and then return again in day 4-5 for another 1-2 days.. that’s normal for me though.

Good luck gang. I’m on day 41 of my cycle, been TTC for 2 years with irregular cycles. 15 DPO, some spotting (unusual for me) for 2 days, cramps, 2xBFN’s and lots of tears, as usual. Think it’s time to stop.

@Chloeb93 Oh I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time with this. It must be very hard. Please don't give up - have you seen anyone about it all? Xx

@Confused678866 good morning! I have been to the GP for blood tests etc and I have had laparoscopies to check for PCOS and Endo, all clear!! My SO is waiting to hear back from his GP. We have a child together already, TTC #2! I feel different this month so could be too early to tell, but I’m gonna assume it’s a no for now. I’ve had some spotting (lasted about 24 hours), and have seen no sign of AF since yesterday, which is very unusual for me as AF usually comes with a vengeance 🥴🥴 you’d think after all this time we would be used to the waiting!!!!

CD8 today, cycle #17 does anyone have any tips? I find when we go for everyday during flashing smileys, my dp can't perform or struggles by the time we actually get to the peak so thinking of stepping it down to every other day and then try for more dtd on the peak day and day after

@Chloeb93 Oh that's good, glad you've been to the GP, hopefully you get somewhere with it all. I'm trying to conceive baby number 2 as well. Only on third cycle though. Fell pregnant in my first cycle with baby number 1 though which I appreciate is super lucky.
How long did it take you to conceive baby number 1?
I hope it's not AF for you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Dogmum13 Every other day would definitely be better, especially if your other half is feeling the pressure. My OH is a bit like this too, he says he feels like he has another job! It's so stressful isn't it xx

Morning ladies, Sorry if too much information! I’m 7/8dpo and I’ve been really cramping the last 3 days and had some lower back ache, last night when I wiped I got a little spotting after a wee, then this morning when I wiped a bit more, still feeling really crampy! AF not due until 22nd March! Is this what implantation bleeding should look like? TTC baby #1.

@Babyboom93
Morning, I am similar to you 8dpo and been experience light cramping and yesterday had pinky cm...I have read that this can sometimes be what implantation looks like, fingers crossed for us both! I have also been having super vivid dreams, have achy hips and a slight metallic taste in my mouth, hard to tell if I'm just willing for the symptoms to be there or if they're actually real 🤔 also we have a new mattress which is the comfiest thing ever so it could just be that I'm falling into such a deep sleep that I'm having such vivid dreams 😂 fingers crossed for us both this month! How many cycles have you been ttc? This is cycle number 1 ttc first baby for me 🤞🏼

@Confused678866 thanks 😊 yes it's all very stressful especially the longer it goes on for

This is cycle2 for us! So it's still early days! I had the implant out on 4th February! I didn't think TTC would be this complicated! Friday and Saturday night I had some very vivid strange dreams too that I can remember so clear still today! Sending lots of baby dust to you!! X

@Dogmum13 Yes I can imagine! Well here's to keeping everything crossed for your journey! 🤞🏻

@Confused678866 thank you 😊 same for you xx

@Confused678866 you don’t appreciate how lucky you get until you struggle to conceive!!! Madness isn’t it. Our first was a drunken one-off in the back of a car 7 years ago when we were 18yo hahaha, we’re now 27 and ready to PLAN and bam, irregular cycles and stress get in the way! Good luck my love xx
