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.

@Willow1982 sorry to hear AF came 'fingers crossed may is your month now. Also sorry to hear about your mc :( I also dread to think how much has been needlessly spend on tests but its just impossible to not isnt it!

@Charm23 it sounds like we are in a similar boat. I'm due on today / tomorrow and had negative tests, today's was 25mlu as its all I could get. 13dpo today ( I have 25 to 27 cycles). Here's to hoping we are just late for showing positive but if not roll on the May bus x

@K8Tee Just saw that you're due AF today/tomorrow - my apps are telling me today or tomorrow too but I have pretty short cycles. Shortest has been 22 for 2 months in a row and then luckily it lengthened last cycle to 25 days (I was worried they were too short so the extra few days were welcomed). Sorry to hear about your BFN but maybe as you say, you tests aren't sensitive enough. I haven't tested yet, I hate the BFN's so I just wait for AF to come!
Have you been trying long? Any symptoms this cycle? Xx

@Confused678866 got everything crossed for you . I'm actually only 12dpo I think so not out yet but most others have said they've had a positive by now. I wish I could just wait for af to come I'm so impatient and dread to think how much I've spent on tests needlessly. I'm going to try and just not test next month.

This is month 4 for us and my body has convinced me that I'm pregnant each month so far lol.

How about you? Have you been trying for long / have any symptoms? Do you know how many dpo you are? Glad your cycles have lengthened a bit. I took prwgnacare one month and it gave me a 31 day cycle so came off that as it scared me lol!

Fingers crossed af doesn't show for us both x

Hi @zxr12 and @confused678866
Before I got my BFP my dry, sore lips were my first symptom! I also had a cold that came on all of a sudden and then just went a couple of days later.
Don't want to get your hopes up but wishing you lots of luck 🍀

@K8Tee Yeah just do what suits you though. Some people find it easier to test early, get a BFN and then let AF come and then some people just wait it out. I was testing early when I first started trying but I just felt it added to my stress levels.
12DPO is still quite early in my eyes as I've read so many things from ladies getting their BFP at 16+ DPO!

This is cycle 5 for us for baby number 2. I have a little boy who turned 2 last week. I fell pregnant with him during my first cycle after stopping the pill, while being out every weekend drinking with other half and friends over the World Cup.. couldn't make it up!! I wasn't being very careful in terms of diet and not drinking etc as I genuinely convinced myself that it would take a while to conceive and for the pill to work it's way out of my system after several years of taking it!
Is this your first that you're trying for?

I'm not sure on DPO really as I haven't bothered to track for the last 2 cycles as I found it was stressing me out! Oh yes, I heard this about Pregnacare too, I don't take any vitamins for this reason, I didn't want them to mess my cycles up. I just take folic acid.

Yes fingers crossed for us both, keep me updated!! 🤞🏻 xx

@Natalie3387 Thanks! I also had a sudden cold come on last week which started with a really bad sore throat, then nose just felt stuffy etc. It disappeared a couple of days later but then it's back again today 🤷🏼‍♀️ bad headaches and exhausted but I've put it all down to my cold!
I have a little boy but I can't remember anything before my BFP with him as I tested fairly late and had some bleeding which I assumed was a period so I wrote it all off.
AF is due anytime from today xx

@Confused678866 I think next month I'm going to just not test as it's disheartening and expensive 🙃 I've heard the same about anything upto 16dpo any beyond too so there's still hope. Do you know when you plan on testing?

I have a 4 year old girl who was a spur of the moment one time wonder 🤣 crazy to think about that now haha.i knew we were lucky but now I know really how lucky we were after 4 months of trying. I also wasn't following any of the not drinking / eating healthy / taking folic acid etc 🙈

I'm the same, just taking folic acid now. I wasn't sure if I should be taking vitamin d too but trying to include it in my diet instead x

@K8Tee Yeah I do find it a little less stressful when not testing! I really don't have a clue when I will test.. I'm CD24 today, so I think maybe I'll try and leave it 2-3 days if AF doesn't show.
When will you test again?

Haha oh wow, it's crazy isn't it! One time wonder 🤣🤣
Yeah that's exactly what me and my partner have been saying! We knew we were very lucky when it happened so quickly but we know that even more now after trying since the beginning of Jan. My partner seems quite disappointed every month when I tell him AF has shown 😫

Yep, same over here! I considered vitamin D and B6 but just trying to eat a balanced diet and include it in that way 🤞🏻 xx

Exact same. We conceived first time with of ds, but we was just seeing what happened and not thinking about it . We have been trying again since jan and nothing but we are ‘trying’ so maybe putting too much pressure on ourselves .

Doesn’t help people keep saying are you going to have another

@Confused678866 hey! I remember we was roughly the same last month! I'm on cd26 my app says I'm due af from Thursday-Saturday I'm 8dpo bfn today, I had pink cm at 3dpo and at 6dpo so have no idea what is going on this cycle, hope your ok? X

@Confused678866 sounds like a good plan. I think I'll not test tomorrow and test on 5th May if AF hasn't arrived, its our anniversary so would be a nice gift must remind myself to get a card lol

Same here, my partner has been disappointed everytime af has arrived too. 😕 our time will come.

@Zxr12 so many people say the same it does make you wonder if the pressure is a hindrance doesn't it. My mum keeps badgering me about it and i haven't told her we're trying as dont want the pressure. It's taught me never to make hints to people about having babies in the future though which I've definitely been guilty of before as you never know what people's situation might be.

Fingers crossed for you and baby dust your way X

Yes I haven’t told anyone and Keep saying I like it how it is but there will come a point I won’t be able to get away with saying that as I have said in the past I want another one time he goes to school and he starts in September .

@Zxr12 Yeah we get these comments too now our little one has turned 2... 'Time for another now then?' 🙄

@amyannx Hey! I'm CD24 today. AF due anytime from today according my apps but I haven't tracked anything this cycle so not entirely sure how many DPO I am.
Oh the pink spotting sounds hopeful though? How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

@K8Tee Yeah let us know how you go 🤞🏻 haha yes don't forget that card 🤣 you might be able to give him a BFP instead though! 🤞🏻

@Confused678866 fingers crossed af doesn't show! Ok I had slight cramps last night thought af was coming but nothing yet. So weird don't know why I got the pink cm af 3dpo, was hoping the 6dpo pink cm was implantation but got a bfn today, just so hard when it didn't take as long to conceive my son you can't help but worry, how are you feeling? X

@amyannx I know what you mean.. I feel the same as I conceived my son in the first cycle so it's just hard isn't when it keeps going month after month! Do you ever get spotting randomly in your cycle or is this a first?
I don't think I've had any AF symptoms but I don't know really? I woke up last week (I think Wednesday or Thursday) with a horrible sore throat, then I was really congested in my nose. My mouth is vile and dry and things taste a little funny. So because of all of that, I haven't really noticed other symptoms as such so I just really can't call it this cycle!
I can't believe feb really compare to when I fell pregnant last time as I didn't test until I was around 6/7 weeks as I had symptoms at that point but can't recall if I had anything before that. Xx

@Confused678866 yeah it's really hard isn't it, it took me 2-3 months with my son so this is already longer! No this is the first time I've had this pink cm, it only happened when I wiped after going for a wee, I get the odd bit of brown cm the day before or the day off af but not the pink cm, just don't know if I'm out this month if today's test is negative and it's been two days since the spotting? Only time will tell I guess, I don't feel confident with my son I got this feeling before and didn't get a faint positive until a day after af was due I think x

@amyannx Sorry to be rude and ask but could it be from DTD?? Yeah it's so crazy how it's just all luck of the draw!! I really hadn't geared myself up for how long it can really take and don't think my partner did either! Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 no it's fine hun and we didn't dtd for 2 days before the 1st and 2nd time I had the pink cm, tend to lose interest after trying in the fw lol x

@amyannx Haha oh yeah, me too 😂 you never know, it could be a good sign 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 I hope so! But I'm not getting my hopes up x

@Skl2021 I know, it is hard to feel optimistic sometimes isn't when you feel you've covered all bases etc but it feels like nothing's working. Keep me posted 🤞🏻 xx

9dpo- not sure what to think of this? It came up within two minutes and has a vvfl on which is pink just very faint and hard to see x

@amyannx I deffo see a v faint line too🤞🏻 X

@Court2611 thank you thought I was going mad! I did a easy home one and that has a even fainter line that I can't upload, wasn't going to test today as got a bfn yesterday but woke up with a bad cold and headache and felt weird so thought I would x

@amyannx I would deffo keep testing over the next few days! How exciting, fingers crossed for you🤞🏻 Xx
