April 2021 TTC Bus:-)

[Lollipop25]

Hi ladies, our March 2021 TTC Bus seems to be full up, would be a shame not to continue. So looking forward to sharing all our BFP's 🤗
I'm sorry if I forgot some people, totally unintentional. Quite a lot on the other thread.

Hi! Hoping to join!
We've been ttc baby no.2 since September. We were lucky to conceive end of feb, but miscarried at 5 weeks. Hoping this will be our first cycle back, and hoping to ovulate next week 🤞

@TigerDaisy thank you, confused what's going on I'm 12dpo (roughly going by opk) and had a negative first response today but then had brown discharge this morning and now a little pink discharge with some cramps, I usually get brown cm then af shows a few hours later but nothing so far x

Hi @TigerDaisy, how are things? I am exactly the same, my resolve to wait until next Wed is slipping as the days go on I'm due next Thurs too, but think it will be Sat that I start with the ic's, haha. No symptoms from me though, but your cramps could well be implantation - very exciting! I've two weeks off work which is just the worst timing, would much prefer to be busy and not have time to obsess

@amyannx any chance it could be implantation and that you ovulated a little later than you thought?

@Sam8582 yes! I had positive opk on day 17-19 day 18 was peak then randomly on day 21 I had another positive so I could be 10dpo but I would of thought the first response would of shown a faint line this morning? X

Sorry @amyannx I remember you saying that now. I think it does still sound possible then, I scrolled loads of threads before joining and so many people said they didn't get anything at 10dpo, especially if you've only just implanted. It would take another day or so to show up! Not out till af x

@Sam8582 that's ok, I'm not getting my hopes up just expecting af to show up x

@amyannx I would be the same, cautiously optimistic but if it is af, then she just needs to hurry up and appear so you can look forward to the next cycle :) mine decided to be 3 days late on my last (1st ttc) cycle and really tested me, so I understand the frustration of not knowing x

Ooo I'm looking forward to seeing people's tests over the weekend! I'm 3 dpo so go a while to wait yet.

@Sam8582 sorry to hear that! Yes it's so frustrating the waiting game x

Hi @Tabbycat92 sorry to hear of your loss, hope you're ok! Fingers crossed this month is your month!! When is your expected ovulation?

Hi @Sam8582 - things are good thanks - you? I don’t think I’d cope being off work right now - I’d be googling TWW symptoms all day! Here’s hoping the weekend rolls around quickly for us!

@amyannx if you ov-ed late it could well be implantation bleeding, as some people take a while to build hcg levels enough to show on a test...you’re not out until af shows bright red xx

@Tabbycat92 sorry to hear about your loss - good luck this cycle, sending babydust your way

TD x

Hi @Sarie24 I’m 38 and TTC baby #1 I think about my age all the time, thinking have I left it too late, but I know ladies older than me who have had babies which gives me hope, fingers crossed for us all!x

@TigerDaisy thanks, don't want to get my hopes up so I keep telling myself af is on her way just incase x

Thankyou @TigerDaisy and @Sam8582. Ovulation should be due around next Friday 🤞

Can any of ladies recommend a good app to track cycles/ ovulation? Been looking at a few on the App Store but don't want to financially commit without some advice?🙂

Af has finally made a appearance just now! Happy in the sense that at least I know where I am at now and can move onto the next cycle x

@amyannx Glad you finally know where you stand xx

@Lollipop25 I use natural cycles which I highly recommend. I think its £50 a year subscription xx

Well I'm out. 4 days late (I am like clockwork so this is wierd for me), a questionably strong evap line and AF arrived this morning :( good luck ladies, l will be following still and moving over to the next month when it comes xx

@Lollipop25 I use Fertility Friend and Femometer - charts are better on FF, but more detailed analysis on Femometer.

@amyannx glad you finally know where you stand - babydust for the new cycle

@Confused678866 @TigerDaisy thank you! Just happy I know where I am now x

[quote Janerobs]@Sarie24 we've not told anyone else either because of the same reason of added pressure.

Your dad seems like he's definitely ready to become a grandparent. I think parents sometimes forget that having children later is now the norm.

I'm currently 6DPO, I'm desperately trying not think about it but its so hard. My period is due next Tuesday, so I think I'll maybe do a test on Sunday. I know I should probably wait until Monday but Monday's are horrible at work and if it's negative it will only make the day worse.

Wishing you the all the luck with your next cycle 💖 xx[/quote]
@Janerobs the wait must be pretty hard... I'm really going to try hard not to obsess about it and take early tests when my time comes but I bet I do I have everything crossed for your BFP, not long to wait now, less than a week! I don't blame you not wanting to wait until Monday, nobody wants bad news on a Monday, although imagine if it's positive... it'll make your week :)

@TigerDaisy it sounds like you're on almost the same waiting schedule as @Janerobs! Fingers crossed for both of you with your early tests this weekend!! Despite saying I'm going to try not to obsess over the weeks following ovulation, I bet I do haha! :)

I've got the Clearblue Digital opks - I'm not sure how good they are but I wanted to try to get something that was simple as I've got no idea what I'm doing and figured a big fat smiley face is about as idiot proof as it gets

I wish you could edit posts on here, I'm such a noob I keep missing replies off and leaving quotes attached lmao I'm sorry ladies, I'll get used to it soon!

@Willow1982 it's funny how it's become the norm to have babies later now, there's no way I would've been emotionally or financially stable enough for a baby even just a few years ago. I have no idea how my mum did it at 21 and as much as age is a bit of a worry, I don't regret waiting until later :O Like you say, there are ladies well into their 40's who have had babies - my friend is 41 and she just gave birth to identical twins after deciding at 40 to just wing it and see what happened. She got a pretty big surprise I have everything crossed for everyone on the April 2021 TTC bus, I can't wait to hear everyone's updates as the month goes on :) x

Thanks @TigerDaisy & @Janerobs 🤗
I'm sorry AF has arrived @amyannx onwards to the next cycle, fx for you. Baby dust for your next cycle too @K8Tee🍼
