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

@GemV3 so reassuring to hear this.. I've been panicking incase it wasn't dark enough lol. I am so ready to get it on🤣

@SF543 🙌🤣

@SF543 😂😂😂 so funny! Maybe you can tell him all about when you get your BFP! 🙊

Have fun tonight SF543 😆
I'm 10 dpo today but will test on Saturday if I don't get AF before that. My boobs are quite tender for the last week and the mad dreams are continuing each night - they are completely bonkers to be honest and I'm dreaming of people I haven't seen in YEARS!! Will know at the wknd if it means a bfp or not!! Would never take sore boobs as a sign as could have them anyway with AF

@Confused678866 think that's a great idea.. but we have to keep it under locks until then🙈😂

@Cuddles21 don't worry i will!😂.. I wouldn't lose hope yet.. sore boobs definitely would be a sign.. test in a few days and try hold out till then. Fingers crossed for you!🤞🏽

@organised5 I just wanted to jump on and check in, see how you are getting on as you must have had your next scan by now?xx

Morning everyone how is everyone doing? I'm 9dpo today and stupidly decided to take a cheapie test this morning, ofcourse BFN...I really thought I'd have more willpower and hold off testing but clearly not 😆 been experiencing some symptoms - dull period pain like cramps a few nights ago, realllllly vivid dreams, headaches, slight metallic taste in my mouth and Sunday and yesterday I had a small amount of pinkish CM, could this have been implantation? Does anyone know how long after implantation will tests be able to start detecting HCG? Am assuming the easy at home cheapies aren't going to be overly sensitive? Hope everyone else is well and not going too crazy over the tww 🤪

@TeeBee89 morning lovely! Just thought I’d responded, haven’t really said a lot but I’ve loved reading everyone’s posts, it’s amazing how alike we all are.

So, my implantation should be today, I’ve also got a few cramps, but feels super similar to the whole due on feeling. Apparently I should do a pregnancy test Friday... but I’m like you, I’ve tested and I’m a BFN. I know it’ll make me disappointed doing a test but I can’t help myself even though I know it’s too early. I had cramps every day last week, and nausea - I am so confused by the symptoms as they’re so similar to period pains and symptoms. Wishing you all the best of luck! Xx

@TeeBee89 morning! Yes, implantation can range from a pink to brown colour and may last 1-3 days. I would wait at least 3 days after the bleeding, although I'd purchase a FRER if I where you as cheapies aren't that sensitive!

@Ted13 that's the worst thing about TTC, symptoms of AF and pregnancy are so alike we drive ourselves mad!😩 just keep an eye, try hold off a bit longer and wait. It's very hard I cave every month lol xx

@SF543 aren’t they?! I have had to stop looking at my Ovia app as I log my symptoms of gas for instance and it says it’s a sure sign of pregnancy and I’ve found myself eaten for two this week with nerves and excitement lol. Will find out this weekend as I am due then. We drive ourselves crazy! Xx

It's sooo hard not to test early isn't it, I think I'm going to wait until Friday before I do another test and will use a frer instead and I'll be 12dpo then, we can wait it out together! It's so tricky when symptoms are so similar to AF, plus your mind starts going into overdrive with every tiny symptom! Best of luck for this cycle, how long have you been ttc?

Thanks lovely, I am going to try my hardest to wait it out until Friday till I next test and have ordered some FRERs to use instead 🤞🏼

@Confused678866 amen girl, I get what you mean! My boy is getting extra cuddles now! AF came this morning, here’s hoping for next month! In the meantime, let’s enjoy DTD!! Good luck mama xx

@Chloeb93 Yeah I feel guilty that I seem to be focusing on this so much and get so annoyed and upset when AF shows that I seem to forget how lucky I already am! I've given my head a wobble about it all now though so no more if that from me.
Enjoy those extra cuddles 🥰
Sorry to hear AF showed up.. on to the next cycle 🤞🏻
Thank you, you too ❤️ xx

@Ted13 ugh I agree! I find my self logging as well although I try not too as it gets my hopes up xx

@TeeBee89 yesss! Best thing to do is hold off and distract your self as hard as it is x

Hiya everyone!
We have just (casually?) started trying for DC2. My son is nearly 14 months. Has taken me until about a year to feel up to even thinking about another. My son is an atrocious sleeper and up until 6 months was up every 90 minutes or so. Now at 14 months he wakes up 2-3 times a night, which is manageable, but I haven't slept more than 4 hours in a row since I was pregnant, and often it's much less than that. I obviously adore my son but found the sleep deprivation robbed me of a lot of the joy I expected to feel in his first year.

Anyway, now feeling decent enough to try for number two, and now that we're trying I feel more obsessed with it than I thought I would, given that I am pretty nervous about potentially adding another non-sleeper to the mix. I'm on CD16 and we dtd every other day from day 10 (10,12,14). On Day 14 it was in the bath though and now I'm worried that may have impacted our chances, lol - was just trying to keep things a bit more spontaneous but now feel silly about it!

I seem to get pregnant quickly but we had a mc before my son was born so I'm very aware that even if we do get pregnant soon, nothing is certain.

Hi all,

I hope that you don’t mind me hopping on the post. Hubby and I are trying to conceive with what would be our third baby. Last month was a pretty lazy attempt. However, this month I have tracked ovulation with a cheap OPK on the 10th and 11th March and got a strong positive on the 11th. I then used a clearblue OPK on the 12th and got a static 🙂, so I am guessing that I am 4/5 dpo? The TWW is killing me 😅 I don’t think the days have ever been so slow. So far I am feeling completely normal. It will be great to share the dreaded tww with you guys :) xx

AF has shown up for me with a vengeance - cramps are nice and painful 😫
Onto cycle 3 we go 😁

Does anyone have short cycles on here?
AF has shown up for me today 😞 - 10DPO CD22.
This is my second month of a 22 day cycle.
December 23 days
January 29 days
February 22 days
March 22 days

I've been off the pill since September so I'd like to think that my body would be 'back to normal' by now. I'm a little concerned about having such short cycles and reading lots of things about having a short Luteal phase and this being an issue for conception and making it harder.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm really starting to get worried now xx

P.S. I conceived baby number 1 back in 2018 in the first cycle since coming off my pill.
I'm 32, no medical issues, a pretty healthy weight, no medication etc etc.

@Cuddles21 and @Confused678866 wishing you both BFP on your next cycle. Sorry I cant offer no advice in terms of short cycles xx

Hi all, hoping I can join. I’m about 9dpo today. Got some ICs to test but trying to wait it out a bit longer. The tww feels so long x
