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.

@Confused678866 oh thanks. Maybe I’ll try testing this month and then try and be more chilled next cycle and see which I prefer. Yes first baby and first cycle, I’m a proper newbie 😊 what about you?

@AllyCat31 Yeah it's just whatever suits you really! This is my 4th cycle TTC baby number 2. My little boy turns 2 in 3 weeks, I fell pregnant with him first cycle after stopping the pill so I was very lucky so this whole 'trying' and 'waiting' business is very new to me! Haha xx

@Confused678866 it appears that my pregnancy tests were what arrived today not the ovulation strips 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Will wait and see what they say when they arrive. They're the femometer ones to match the pregnancy tests as a friend said they were good?

@FergieTheFirst Haha! 🙈🙊
Oh yes I've heard good things about these - I'm not sure when you're supposed to test though but the instructions will tell you. I think lots of them differ. Some brands (like clear blue) you can use FMU but the One Step ones I began with, you're not supposed to use FMU with those ones xx

@FergieTheFirst I use Femometer. My ovulation is a bit all over the place so I start testing about 1.5 weeks after my period ends and continue using them until 1 day after I peak. But if you ovulate on the same day each month the instructions tell you when is best to test.
This is my first my TTC too :) Currently 5DPO. Wishing you the best of luck xx

@Janerobs it’s such a palaver. I ovulate roughly on day 28. But my cycles can vary hugely and some months I don’t think I ovulate.

I’m testing everyday but I think I need to do it twice a day nearer to the time because I rarely get dark lines on my sticks.

My BBT is also mostly nonsense. I find it hard to see patterns in my temperature.

This month I’m all about the CM - time to pay attention to the only other clue I can get!

Why do you think you ovulated early?

Wishing you luck next month. Are you ok?

@pennysays which app do you use to track your BBT? I use natural cycles and I can't recommend it enough. This picture is of my LH test in the evening, I tested that morning too and the line was barley noticeable, so I'd definitely recommend testing twice a day.

I think I ovulated early because I had a about 6 months of not ovulating which only ended at the end of Feb. And since then I've ovulated twice, the first time I wasn't taking LH tests just my BBT so I wasn't aware of my ovulation until it happened and this last time was on CD19, so I'm guessing its just my body trying to get back into a routine. I also cut out caffeine, stopped running everyday and started taking vitamins (iron, B12 and C, i was already taking folic acid and D) around the same time I started ovulating again, not sure if that's a coincidence but I'm too nervous to start drinking coffee again and I've started running again just not everyday day.

Xx

@Confused678866 oh how lovely! I’m sure your little boy will be very excited to have a brother or sister when the time comes. I think I’m gonna test early cause I’m too excited to wait but I’m sure after a few cycles I’ll get bored of it 😂

BFN again today on FRER, 12dpo maybe 10dpo two cycles since being off the pill first cycle was 31 days second was 29, I'm on cycle day 31 today no sign of af and the first response was a negative, getting stressed out to why af isn't showing, just want to start to try again if I'm not pregnant, surely I can't be pregnant now if the tests are still negative x

Sorry about the BFNs @amyannx totally get you just want AF out the way now to get on with the next cycle. It's so blimin frustrating isn't it!

Anyone else accidentally find themselves wistfully browsing baby clothes? 🙈 I must stop!!

@dunkedbiscuit yeah it really is! The longest cycle I've had is 31 which is today so if it doesn't come tomorrow then I don't get what's going on, I had positive opk from day 17-19 with day 18 getting my peak but then on day 21 my app read it as a low reading of 0.75 but in person the test looked positive so I don't know if I had a second surge and ovulated then or not? Here is the picture, but even if I did ovulate on day 21 surely I would get a faint positive by now? Just want af to show up for once if I'm not pregnant x

@AllyCat31 Yes it would be lovely if I could give him a bother or sister! 🤞🏻
Haha yeah just do what you've gotta do to get through the TWW! 🙊 xx

@amyannx yes if I'm honest lovely I would of thought a positive would show by now, but you did hear stories of people getting much later BFPs so you never know! Do you have many tests at home? I would prob keep testing every day or 2 until AF shows her face, just in case? It's horrible being in this limbo of uncertainty though so I do feel for you x

@dunkedbiscuit yeah I have one test left will take it Friday if af hasn't showed by then, with my son it only took is 2 months ttc and cycle day 29 with him I got the faintest positive but this is the longest my cycle has been! I'm sure it would of shown by now so I don't think I'm pregnant if I'm honest and have no symptoms, just worried as to why af isn't showing x

@amyannx you sound really stressed, and stress can be your biggest enemy ttc. Might be an idea to give yourself a month off. We ttc for 1 year with no luck on our first pregnancy and it was the month I stopped trying that I conceived, no opks, no temps, no monitoring my cycle. So def think it was stressing over it. If you really feel this is not your month I hope AF shows up soon for you, xx . hate waiting myself.

@Lollipop25 thank you, yeah to be fair the whole ttc bit doesn't stress me out it's just the stress of af not showing atm that is stressing me out but just had some brown discharge which I usually get before af shows so think she is on her way! So onto the next cycle for me x

Ah great @amyannx , at least you know what's what now , baby dust for the next cycle ☺️

@Lollipop25 thank you, I usually have brown discharge then af arrives, but still hasn't but suppose it's the sign that she is on her way! X

@amyannx Your not completely out yet so🤗 🤞🤞keep us updated😁

@Lollipop25 thanks I thought if af doesn't show could it be implantation but surely I would have had a positive FRER this morning? Think it is af but usually the flow continues but it hasn't x

All you can do is wait and test again and again until AF shows or hopefully BFP🙏 🤞🤞 my last BFP didn't show until it was over a week after AF was due, my other BFPs were on the button when AF were due so 🤷🏼‍♀️ who knows. There's always hope🤗 I think Mother Nature likes to screw with us😂
