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

@amyannx Yes, pretty crazy!! It shows how much more relaxed I was first time around 👀😂

Fingers crossed for you too. Thanks for your help today. Keep me updated 🙂 xx

amyannx · 02/03/2021 14:48

@Confused678866 I'm the same! With my son when ttc I didn't track or log anything and started trying in January and found out beginning of April I was pregnant! This time round in logging everything and literally want to test now lol, thanks I will do, keep me updated on how you get on with your opk test x

Confused678866 · 02/03/2021 15:10

@amyannx It’s crazy isn’t it! I’m so much more impatient this time around 🤣
I’ve just used the Clear Blue one - no smiley face today 😣 xx

amyannx · 02/03/2021 15:14

@Confused678866 same as me! No idea why as there is no rush for us but just want that bfp now! I'm sure I read somewhere that with clear blue your suppose to use first morning urine but with the one step ones it's the opposite and they say don't use fmu so who knows, hopefully you get a smiley face soon xx

Confused678866 · 02/03/2021 15:18

@amyannx Haha yes the same here. I just know that stressing is no good for us either!
The instructions did say any time but some women prefer to use FMU... I think I will start using it tomorrow morning, and then I’ll do the strip ones too twice. Why not? I’ve got nothing else to do when working from home and little one is at nursery 😂 xx

amyannx · 02/03/2021 15:32

@Confused678866 haha yeah exactly, it's good to do both as you can see how accurate they are and which one works best for you x

Hi everyone, mind if i join? hopping over from the Feb bus.

A bit about me I’m 35, TTC for #1. This is cycle 6. I’m a bit more hopeful this month than normal...i don’t know why. i think i’ll be a bit heartbroken if AF arrives on Saturday. Trying very very hard not to test..today is CD 22.

Irishgirl1990 · 02/03/2021 18:08

Hello everyone. Joining from Feb TTC group. Today is day one of AF, arrived two days early so a little heartbroken but ready to start again and can’t wait for this week to be over so we can start again. This month will be our fifth month ttc. Toes and fingers are crossed for us all!! 💕

Confused678866 · 02/03/2021 18:26

@RAA852021
Good luck to you! I’m on cycle 3 of TTC baby number 2. I was definitely more relaxed first time around (fell pregnant within first month of trying for him).
Wish I could relax a little more. Best of luck to you!

@Irishgirl1990 Best of luck to you!!
The same happened to me last cycle - AF arrived 6 days early.. I had every single ‘pregnancy symptoms’ going - or at least I thought I did.. then AF arrived and stamped all over that parade! Xx

Irishgirl1990 · 02/03/2021 18:33

@Confused678866 thank you!!!! What an emotional rollercoaster we were so confident we had done it but obvs not. In a weird way, at least it has come early so it can speed things up, af tends to be over quite quick. We are both doing everything we can to stay healthy and well, poor OH is on the rowing machine everyday, eating fruit, taking vitamins and stopped drinking so for his sake I hope we do it soon. Anyways onto a new month and some positivity for us all xxxx

Irishgirl1990 · 02/03/2021 18:35

@RAA852021 good luck this week. I hope you will get the best news- keep us all posted xx

Confused678866 · 02/03/2021 18:39

@Irishgirl1990 Yea that’s definitely a good way of looking at it! I’m supposedly in my fertile window and ovulation is supposed to be in 2 days time (according to my Flo app) but I’m still yet to see a positive ovulation test so I haven’t got a clue what’s actually going. My cycle differs from 22-29 days though so that’s my main reason if properly trying to track ovulation.
Good luck - it sounds like you’re doing all of the right things! 🤞🏻 Xx

Catmumsoph92 · 02/03/2021 19:49

Hi Ladies, hope you don't mind me joining! TTC #1. I am CD11 and had my peak LH today so keeping my fingers crossed for this month. Hoping everyone gets their BFP this month! Star

amyannx · 02/03/2021 20:07

@RAA852021 welcome! I'm 6dpo and trying so hard not to test Until Friday the tww is awful isn't it! X

amyannx · 02/03/2021 20:08

@Irishgirl1990 sorry to hear af arrived, hope you get your bfp soon x

amyannx · 02/03/2021 20:09

@Catmumsoph92 welcome! Good luck! Hope you get your bfp soon x

Bam1504 · 02/03/2021 21:03

Hello everyone, I hope you don’t mind me joining in. It’s my first time posting after reading the Feb and now March threads and feel it would be nice to connect with people in the same boat!

I’m 27 and we are trying for baby #1. We are on month 4 of TTC and currently in the agonising TWW. Hoping for good news for us all this month!

Irishgirl1990 · 02/03/2021 21:13

@Confused678866 thank you for your best wishes. It’s great you are using the opks I found using I completely missed my ovulation day sometimes using the flo app cause every month wasnt exactly same by a day or two, you might find that you won’t get a flashing smiley face or even just one flashing smiley face before your peak so keep dtd. It was different for me each month so strange.
@amyannx thank you :) finger and toes crossed for this month and for all the ladies here.
Welcome to the group @Catmumsoph92 and @Bam1504. Xxx

amyannx · 02/03/2021 21:18

@Bam1504 welcome! I'm in the tww too! I'm 6dpo, I going to test on Friday and then onwards from there until af it it shows up! Don't feel as bad if af does show up if I know I have bfn, I'm hoping for a positive this month but don't feel confident about it this month x

Bam1504 · 02/03/2021 21:24

@amyannx thanks! My cycle has been fluctuating a bit recently so don’t currently know when I ovulated but have covered all bases so far plus started sticking my legs in the air this month which has been quite funny! AF could arrive this weekend or next week. I’m holding off on testing as it gets my hopes up too much. Though the day I am late I think I’ll have to do about 10 tests as I won’t believe it 😂 I see why women do some many tests now!

amyannx · 02/03/2021 21:28

@Bam1504 haha! Yeah I was the same but then when af showed I was more upset then, than what I was when I got bfn as I knew af was probably coming, this is my second cycle of the pill and I had a 32 day cycle last month and this month I got a positive opk on day 17 so my cycle must roughly be around 32 days, my app says next Wednesday af should be here but hoping not x

Bam1504 · 02/03/2021 21:35

@amyannx totally get that. What OPKs have you been using? I have some test strips but when I tried using them before I just kept forgetting and found them difficult to read 🙈 I might try the clear blue ones as they sound a bit more user friendly bit expensive! Tbh I just want to know if I’m ovulating at all as I get so worried about it all and can’t help overthink everything!

amyannx · 02/03/2021 21:44

@Bam1504 I use the one step strips and I have the pre mom app you take a pic of your test and it reads if they are high or not and tells you when your peak was, in the same as I stopped the pill last month I'm worrying if I am ovulating yet, I did get a positive but I'm still worrying x

RAA852021 · 02/03/2021 22:03

@Confused678866 Thank you lovely. it’s so hard to be relaxed isn’t it? Maybe it’s lockdown giving us more time to think 😅

@Irishgirl1990 Thank you 🙏 and i hope AF leaves quickly for you!

@amyannx TWW is so long! crossing my fingers for a BFP at the end of the long wait for you

amyannx · 02/03/2021 22:10

@RAA852021 thank you, hope you get your bfp too x
