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.

@CNMP I had this in my fourth, I tested early and got a very faint line , so much so I didn’t think I was pregnant, she’s now 2 😊

@dunkedbiscuit thank you af can range from anytime from tomorrow-Thursday I think, I have a bit of a stomach ache today so think af maybe on the way x

Hi all, hope it’s ok for me to join this thread?
Firstly fingers crossed for you all,
I was reading through the March TTC bus thread, but didn’t join, as sadly I had a MC at about 6 wks at the beginning of March, got my BFN that I was told I needed from the nurse 3 weeks later 31st March.
AF started 1st April, first AF since MC, much heavier than my normal cycle. thinking I could be ready to start trying again this cycle, I’m 38 yes old, hoping it’s not too late for me!!
It’s so great to read these threads and see the support you all have for each other,
I found myself obsessing over everything the last couple of months, so think reading these threads definitely helps to know your not alone xx

@Sam8582 I’ve found temping really useful - although it took some getting the hang of, finding the right time so that I wouldn’t wake up naturally before it was time to temp and just remembering to temp first before going to the loo for instance

Hi @Willow1982 - so sorry to hear about your loss Hopefully this will be a good cycle for you - I’ve seen people several years older than us (I’m 36, so not that far behind you) getting their bfps on here, so I don’t think we’re past it yet good luck!

@Willow1982 hi there. I'm so sorry for your loss. Wishing you luck in the future and fx for you this cycle 🤞 you are certainly not alone x

Happy Easter!
This is my first month TTC, we've been wanting to try for a while but annoyingly my periods stopped from October to end of Feb. I had my implant out at the beginning of last year which I had for 9 years! So thinking my hormones we're probably still all over the place.

I'm currently 2 days post ovulation, I'm feeling hopeful but also not wanting to get my hopes up so I'm trying to prepare myself for disappointment.

My period is due on 14th April, how early can I test or should I wait?

Wishing you all the best of luck this month 💖

@Janerobs this is also my first month ttc. I would try and wait as long as possible to do the test, I have tested early before and it’s so disheartening when you get the negative test, and you have to wait and test again .. my friend tested 6 days before her af and got a negative test and she really thought she wasn’t pregnant.. she tested again a day before her af and she got a positive 😊 baby dust for you xxx

Thank you all for your messages. Typically, I started bleeding this afternoon, so I think it’s fair to say I have had a chemical. Super gutted as really thought this was the one, but we continue and of course now closer to the new cycle and chance 🤞Wishing us all baby dust for April. I can atleast join in this month properly 😂 Anyone else using clear blue early digital OPKS? They were bang on last month and my periods seemed to have dropped back to normal range! 🙌🏻

Ah I'm sorry to hear that @CNMP, I had 🤞for you. So upsetting for you. Have some wine and choccies, you deserve it. Baby dust for you for this cycle. 🥰

@Lollipop25 thank you so much lovely. I should have prepped myself really. I had a couple of symptoms very early on (5dpo when my boobs were agony and I couldn’t even sleep on them ) but they started to drop off in the last couple of days. Wasn’t meant to be. Will pick ourselves up again and dust ourselves off, always do! Hopefully April is the magic month 🙌🏻❤️

Sending love @CNMP x

@Willow1982 I’m 38 too so feel the same, but fingers firmly crossed that this cycle/the next are the ones for us 🤞🏻

@TigerDaisy that’s good that you’ve got on alright with them, I might consider trying that further down the line!

Sorry to hear that @CNMP, sending lots of luck and baby dust your way for next time

Sorry to hear that @CNMP! xx

@CNMP sorry to hear that! Still, as you say, maybe April will be your month - sending babydust your way for this cycle!

I’m using Ovia and it says to test in 7 days so I’m going to try stick to that and not drive myself crazy. What about you?

Sorry to hear about af @CNMP

I use the clearblue digital opks - I'm on the second month of using them, third cycle ttc #1. I'm due af somewhere between next Sunday and Wednesday but not counting how many dpo I am as trying to not think about it which is always easier said than done. I find them good though and really easy to understand which is important when ttc 😊

Hey guys, been a while since I was on. Had to take a break from ttc but trying again. I didnt buy and frers and couldn't get them delivered due to the holiday so I've been using one step ultra early since 9dpo I've had really faint lines on them. Today it is still faint but managed to get it on camera haven't been able to previously.

What do you think? I have no experience with these tests and wish I had a frer will need to order one and hope it comes early tomorrow

Tested again this morning, I've used the clear blue ultra early and the FRER, both bfn so I think I'm out this month as af arrives from anything today x

@amyannx You never know though.. especially as your cycle varies! I've read so many posts about people using early detection ones and they haven't picked anything up until like 5 days after AF is due!
I don't have a clue when I ovulated or anything this month as I just didn't use OPK's as they're stressing me out. I've had 22 day cycles the last couple of months, AF would be due tomorrow going by that... still haven't tested though as I'm too scared 😂 knowing my luck I'll probably just have a longer cycle this month! Xx

@Confused678866 thank you! Yeah that's what I'm thinking as my cycles vary, but I don't have any symptoms other than my temp is up still but it did that last month too and af came! I also had a few days of positive opk then negative and then I'm pretty sure I had another positive a few days later so maybe I ovulated later this month? I'm not hopeful just wish if I'm not going to get my bfp that af would come so I can start again! Well done for not testing I am terrible with testing early x

@amyannx Yeah I definitely wouldn't lose hope yet as it sounds like you're still in with a chance. How much do your cycles vary by?
I normally cave and test early but the BFN's are just getting harder so I've just left it.. and I think because I haven't been tracking anything, I don't fully understand where I'm at so I don't really know what to expect and when! Xx

@amyannx Also, I know you don't have any symptoms but when I had my first baby, I had zero symptoms, had some bleeding which I put down to a period, then over 2 weeks later, my boobs were killing me and I'd just felt a bit off and not my normal self, tested and I was pregnant so I didn't actually find out until I was over 6 weeks gone and that's only when my symptoms started!
That's what I'm trying to keep in the back of my head this time around too when it comes to symptoms xx

@Confused678866 so the first month off the pill I had a 31 day cycle and last month was a 29 day cycle, I'm on day 29 today x

@amyannx Fingers crossed then, you're not out yet!! Do you have any of your usual AF symptoms? Xx

@Confused678866 I had a stomach ache yesterday and a few spots that I get whenever af is on the way but other than that nothing x
