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

@LeonorN Congratulations!

@LeonorN congrats to you ❤️

Thanks all! I’m so excited! Best of luck to all.

Congratulations @leonorN 😁😁

Fab news @LeonorN🤗

@LeonorN huge congratulations to you xx

Caved and tested yesterday (around 11po) with fmu, BFN as normal. Glad I did this time, gives me time to get my head sorted for arrival AF.

Fx to all those still in for this month and congrats to all who got their BFP😊 xx

@millionairesshortbread4 I am really sorry to hear that. I don't think that my bfp was a sticky baby either my lines have not progressed at all and look more grey than pink and other makes such as tesco and clear blue are giving me bfn. I am preparing myself for AF now. 3 days and counting xx

@millionairesshortbread4 sorry to hear that. I agree with you on testing so you expect AF. It always makes me feel better somehow, or at least less bad!

@DreadedTWW also sorry your lines aren't getting darker. I had that 2 months running and am thinking of them as practice runs for my body so that the next one sticks nicely. Like this one has started to make a little nest and the next egg will use it. I realise that sounds a bit crazy when I type it but I do actually think that!

@LeonorN congrats on the BFP! I'm 42 and got a recent BFP after 2 chemicals the last 2 months so am similar timing to you! Really hoping they stick!

@yepstilltrying thats a really nice way to look at it, thank you xx

Hi everyone I’m 22 and TTC baby 1 we’ve been kind of trying since November and properly using OPKs since feb- I know I’m 3 DPO as I had a couple of really dark ovulation tests and then they faded and we had good timing so just the waiting game- super impatient though- I hope your all doing well 💖

@millionairesshortbread4 I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I still have at least 8 days to wait this month but I didn’t get a temp spike so I’m not feeling optimistic either. Maybe next month!

@AnonCharlie good luck on your journey! Sounds like you’re timing everything perfectly x

Hey, does anyone know of this is normal or not? I used ovulation tests last month and got a positive early on day 17 but could tell on day 16 it was heading that way as it was getting darker, this month my tests are all other the place, I'm on day 16 today, here are my test, would you say I'm not going to ovulate this month or is there still hope tomorrow it will suddenly get darker? Thanks x

Thank you @SunflowerIris 😊

Hi @amyannx how long is your cycle usually?

@SunflowerIris hey! I came off the pill In January and had a a 31 day cycle and last month a 29 day cycle x

@amyannx yes definitely keep testing then. The exact day of ovulation varies cycle to cycle. The average luteal phase (time after ovulation) is 14 days but mine is much shorter (about 10 or 11 days). If your cycle is 31 days then you will probably get your LH surge in the next few days. Good luck xx
I meant to ask - are you using first morning urine or are you trying to limit water intake and hold it in for the first few hours of the day? It looks like you’re doing the latter, which is the best way to pick up the LH surge.

@SunflowerIris thank you, on my app last month it said I had a 29 day cycle and and phase of 11 days, that's why I thought maybe I would have a darker line today, it is darker but not like it was last month before my positive test, but maybe this month my cycle is slightly longer? I have done a few test with fmu but tend to hold for 2-3 hours before testing usually as I don't think fmu are always accurate I just sometimes test in the morning if I have spare test lol x

I think I’m out this month - not due AF til Friday / Saturday but just got some pink tinged discharge which is usually my warning sign that AF is on her way in the next day or so - boobs feel huge and bloated which are all my usual AF signs ... next month will be month 11 TTC and cycle 13 ....🤦‍♀️

Hey everyone, joining late but I've just been unsure whether to have any hope this month. Ttc baby number 1, started trying in January and caught first cycle but unfortunately ended in miscarriage. Felt ready to try again, havent had a period yet after the miscarriage btw. Im 13dpo today and frer this morning had faint positive. Not getting my hopes up yet after the last time but it was great having support last time on here. Will test again in a couple days to see if its any darker

OK
Im slightly confused...
So I ovulated last month on CD17
So this month im very surprised when today on CD12 I get a positive opk and a solid clearblue face!!! Especially after nothing yesterday...

We babydanced last night and today
How long should we baby dance for and why do you think its early?

@Mum2Girls19 Hey I'm on CD11 and I normally don't OV until cd18ish I got a slightly dark line on an OPK so I'm slightly worried I've missed my chance! Will test again tomorrow with CB test! I've been so busy at work I've totally forgot the timing of the month! DTD Sunday so hoping if I have peaked early I've caught it! Such a stressful situation 🙈

I am 2 dpo and it’s my 3rd cycle TTC for #1. I’m beginning to worry that there’s something wrong with us... honestly I’ve spent the last 15 years worried I would get pregnant accidentally but it turns out it’s a bit more difficult than that!!

@MiniBaker Oh I am so sorry, I know the feeling. But you never know, it might be good news when you do a pregnancy test

@frols I am so sorry to hear about your difficult start to the year but congratulations on the early BFP! Keep us updated

@Mum2Girls19 Don’t worry - It is completely normal to ovulate at slightly different times each month, and a “regular” cycle can still vary by up to 5 days. Ovulation occurs 12-48 hrs after positive OPK, and you are most fertile in the 3-4 days leading up to ovulation and also the day of ovulation. Sounds like your 2ww is probably beginning!

@SunflowerIris just some reassurance that on average it takes a couple 6 months to a year to conceive without any fertility issues. I feel like this sometimes and only on cycle #2 but I have endometriosis so I stress about that. Baby dust to you lovely 🥰💫
