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.

@Scarletpig1 congratulations! Great news. xx

Congratulations @Scarletpig1 definite positive there!! How many dpo are you?

@Willow1982 sorry I don't have any experience of the monitor, I just use the clear blue sticks - has it already shown you've ovulated this month? Could be cycle settling down like you say.

@TigerDaisy how are you getting on? Did you test today? I used one of the ic's but bfn - still only 10dpo so there's time I suppose!

Hope everyone is doing well - any more due to test soon? Good luck if you are :)

@Sam8582 I used the sticks aswell and both said peak, AF started on 1st April, finished about 6th, so I was thinking ovulation would be this Thursday/ Friday coming, but peak seems to be today?! Hopefully things will get more settled as the months go on x

@Willow1982 honestly until I started ttc I never knew half of what I'm finding out now about our bodies/ovulation/phases etc! But I know it can be a shorter time between period ending and ovulation occurring and can change from cycle to cycle (just to keep us guessing, cheers Mother Nature) What did your cycles use to be like? Just go with it this month and hopefully they will regulate more as time goes on x

@Sam8582 not sure dpo as I don't track ovulation but I'm CD29 today and partner was working away right up till cd 16 so Im probably 13dpo or less I think?

@Sam8582 I chickened out of testing today! Are you getting any possible symptoms?

I got a big fat nothing on an ic yesterday, but knew 9dpo was too early really. This morning I got a temp higher (by 0.2 degrees) than any I’ve had since I started temping, when normally my temps are steady or slowly creeping downwards from about 9dpo...I’ve had slight cramps for a week now, but the last day or so they’ve felt more like when you hold a wee too long and get a pain right across the bottom of your tummy/top of your pelvis. I also had (tmi!) some really odd opaque snot-like stringy pale yellow/cream coloured stretchy cm (just like ewcm but not clear) this morning...google tells me these are all signs, but then they could also not be! So confused what my body is up to, but just couldn’t deal with seeing no line today lol! I even felt a little carsick driving earlier, and I’ve never had travel sickness as the driver (terrible as a passenger, but never when driving!), and I’m trying really hard not to get my hopes up!

Anyone else had anything like this and got a BFP?

TD x

@Sam8582 your so right, I feel I have learnt so much since TTC and also from ladies on mumsnet! we only really started properly in January when we got pot luck first time, which wasn’t meant to be, until then I couldn’t really say what my cycles were for definate, I’m pretty sure they were around the 28 days, but then I may have just assumed that!
I’m definitely taking more notice of things now, sometimes I feel like it consumes my thoughts!
When I got the peak this morning I was like right come on then to the husband! Very romantic not!!x😂

@TigerDaisy I have my fingers crossed for you, I will say just before my BFP in Feb i was a passenger in the car and felt really sick, it was really unusual for me, I didn’t think anything of it, and 2 days later got the BFP! I really hope it’s going to be one for you xx

@TigerDaisy ooh that all sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you - also, nothing is tmi when ttc haha. I'm going to try hold old until at least Tuesday now, we shall see! When do you think you'll test? Not really any symptoms that I can tell, I have ulcerative colitis so stomach cramps etc go with the territory so who knows!

@Willow1982 haha that has to be done doesn't it, they have to just get on board, when it's time, it's time! Oh definitely consumes you, joining mn and reading through posts has helped me lots this month though

@Sam8582 I think I’ll try and wait until Tuesday too, but if my temp is still high tomorrow I may cave... oh dear that doesn’t sound fun - must make it extra tricky symptom spotting too! Fingers crossed for us both for Tuesday

Hey everyone lovey to see the BFP’s!! I have no idea what’s going on with me as I didn’t track this month, I know I’m somewhere in the TWW and AF due on Thursday. Ive had 0 symptoms not even pre AF cramps/skin breakouts except for today I’m exhausted. I also feel like I’ve coming down with a cold or something headache/muscle ache and nips are sore. I couldn’t resist so took a cheapie this morning and I could have swore I saw the faintest ever line but I had to really squint so I’m not even thinking about it🤣🤣 going to try and hold off and see what happens Thursday! Good luck everyone xx

Hello all. I'm TTC dc3. Have 2 ds's 7 and 4/5 in June. I've had a bit of rubbish time since November. I got a positive test but it turned into a chemical pregnancy, losing it the same day I got COVID symptoms (I didn't know at the time) I then recovered from that (took most of December) and got a positive test in January again a few days b4 af. Unfortunately another chemical pregnancy. Now yesterday I got this result in picture. Due tomorrow. Haven't tested again and won't until Wednesday which will be longer than the chemical pregnancies. I'm hoping for nice smooth one just like my first kids. But I'm extremely anxious. Sorry for essay but have no one to talk though it with as I feel silly for testing early again as I'm expecting history to repeat.

Hi mushroom queen, welcome! 2 days before af isn’t really that early to test these days but I know what you mean! Fingers crossed the line is still there in a few days.

@MushroomQueen I really hope it works out for you! xx

Hi everyone,
I’ve been reading this thread for a while now, reading all your stories and trying to pluck up the courage to post on here myself. I’ve not spoken to any friends/family about TTC so it feels weird typing this all out!!

Huge congrats @Scarletpig1 😊

We lost a surprise pregnancy 2 years ago & haven’t tried again until now and are now TTC cycle 2.
I haven’t used any OPK’s but have been tracking my cycle just using the Fitbit app on my phone - so I’m not sure how reliable it is for the ovulation date but it predicts my period correctly every month.
I have 26 day cycles so it predicted my ovulation day to be on 06/04 & we DTD on that day. So I’ve been going mad in the TWW since then.
I tested (stupidly couldn’t resist) last week and got a BFN which is just so demotivating!
AF is due on Thursday and I’ve started getting my usual sore boobs today.
Im going to try not to test early and hold out until AF is due, I just really hope this is the month 🤞
Sending good luck to you all ❤️

@Court2611 - that all sounds like positive symptoms to me, good luck!

@MushroomQueen congrats - hope this one works out for you 🤞🏻

Fingers xd for you @Elisabeth2021 @MushroomQueen 🤗

I caved and tested... BFN :-( still, AF not due til Thurs, so may not be out yet? Pounding headache today - couldn’t sleep last night...it’s so hard to relax about it all isn’t it?!

TD x

@TigerDaisy sorry to hear you got a BFN, but yes i wouldn’t give up hope yet x
AF due for me on thurs too so we’re in this together!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Right, I think that’s me out for this cycle. I hoped the spotting I was having was implantation but its too heavy so has to be AF. That’s 5 days earlier than all my apps have said and earlier than any other month after ovulation.
Ive ordered some Soy Iso to hopefully bring ovulation forward (it was CD35 this time) and also vitamin C to take after ovulation as I’ve read it can help thicken the uterus during the luteal Phase - still taking Seven Seas TTC and have a pretty good diet so not too worried. It was only cycle 1 for me but I still feel incredibly sad. I know my OH is pretty upset. He had got it in his head that we were going to be lucky.
Good Luck and Baby dust to everyone still in this month 💜

@Elisabeth2021 thanks - when are you testing? Fingers crossed for you too x
@AllyCat31 aw sorry to hear that - sending baby dust your way for the next cycle! X

Sorry to hear that @AllyCat31 and @TigerDaisy but I'm gonna stay hopeful for you both that BFPs could still come this month 🤞

I'm tying to wait until Saturday to test, feels like a lifetime away

Sorry to hear that @AllyCat31, sending good luck your way x
@TigerDaisy I’m using every ounce of my strength to not test until at least Thursday... I’ve got my usual sore boobs today though, so I’m pretty sure AF is probably on her way. X
@dunkedbiscuit it’s horrible waiting to test isn’t it I’m with you on that x

@AllyCat31 ahh, sorry hear to that, fingers crossed for your next cycle :)

@TigerDaisy you're not out yet!! Still early! I tested this morning also and bfn so will defo hold on till Thursday now!

When would you be due af (fingers crossed not!) @dunkedbiscuit?

@Elisabeth2021 ooh there's a few of us for Thursday then :) how exciting!! Fingers firmly crossed for us all

Anyone else due to test before Thursday?
