@Minster2012 apparently didn't learn from the last time and is once again letting me loose behind the wheel whilst she enjoys her well earned rest! You can follow her on Instagram (Minstermusings) where lots of passengers and ex-passengers have their own TTC or normal accounts too (just be careful not to out anyone on their non-TTC accounts!)

We have had over 100 BFPs on this thread since @Minster2012 took over including 2 on the last thread so we need to keep our lucky run going, no slacking ladies!

Anything goes and NOTHING is TMI on this bus! Whether you're doing it the old fashioned way or with some help from science, we're all waiting for those 2 pink lines and are here to support each other and try to stay (somewhat) sane along the way

@Franklydear interesting... I'm kinda similar. Had a "normal" period that started quite heavy but then stopped for a couple of hours, returned in the evening but stopped now after not even 72h. Only a bit spotting. Breasts still hurting.
Also, AF wad 2 days early, and normally lasts a good 5-7 days.

FlyOnTheWall89 · 15/03/2022 14:37

@lakejupiter don't worry too much about volume. That doesn't correlate with concentration of sperm within the semen. X

Franklydear · 15/03/2022 18:21

@Bundaberg84 I still have sore boobs, nauseas, etc...so I'll test tomorrow, I've been busy raising hell on the bus company, but I think I am getting somewhere and no issues today, but I had to get all my mama bear anger and now i feel exhausted

pennysays · 15/03/2022 21:35

@Franklydear your body is causing trouble this month!

Franklydear · 15/03/2022 21:47

I never get straight answer but this month is a joke, if the spotting was it, what the hell do I call cd1? I decided I am not going to mark it at all, the next af will come eventually, right?

Dawnbird · 15/03/2022 23:48

@Franklydear it's not over till the fat lady sings (and then bleeds all over everything like a stuck pig).

I'm right in limbo land too I guess. My temps dropped for 2 days and my chart decided I hadn't ovulated after all. Now I'm getting more EWCM and temp rising again this morning and that's with the new thermometer which is more accurate (2 decimal places, proper basal thermometer) but giving similar results to the last one overall.

Argh! Why do bodies do this to us?

I guess I'll either get AF in a few days, or I won't and this will be another crazy long cycle.

larrythelizard · 16/03/2022 07:41

Maybe a late ovulation @Dawnbird? How many dpo are you and is it worth a test?

Not mentioning the T word to you @Franklydear (even if I think you should!)

Sounds like you still covered O @lakejupiter

Dawnbird · 16/03/2022 07:43

@larrythelizard if the first one was right, 12 DPO, tested on day 10, negative. I'll see what the next few days of temps say and maybe test again if AF isn't here.

Back to knitting cute things...!

larrythelizard · 16/03/2022 08:02

So annoy

larrythelizard · 16/03/2022 08:02

Dropped my phone!

So annoying when bodies do weird things @Dawnbird!

Franklydear · 16/03/2022 14:56

Finally managed to test, as predicted negative, so that’s it, I’ll await for af to eventually come
Now, this is supposed to be it, finito, all done, only dh has been avoiding confrontation so nothing has been spoken, contraception has not been sorted and snip has not been booked, I am officially in limbo!

InkyPaper · 16/03/2022 18:45

That sucks @Franklydear ❤️ sorry about the BFN and being in limbo! ❤️

Franklydear · 16/03/2022 19:20

Dh wants to keep trying till September, I think he’s going to string me along until we’re 60....

Dawnbird · 16/03/2022 20:12

Uhhh or I'll be totally impatient. 13 DPO ?? I got sidetracked getting ready and left this test after about 3min and checked it after about 40 mins, so this is maybe an evap, this brand is apparently really bad for them. Doh. I guess I'll do another one tomorrow.

BellatrixK · 16/03/2022 21:16

Oh no. @Franklydear. So sorry about the BFN. Got that you and DH get a chance to properly talk. How are you feeling about waiting until September? xx

Ohhh. Very exciting @Dawnbird. Do you have a FRER to check with?

Minster2012 · 16/03/2022 21:38

@InkyPaper one more sleep darling I'll be watching to check in on you 🤞🏻🥰

@Dawnbird argh no you need a pink dye! Really hoping it's not an evap but def need to be be looking in the time limit

@Franklydear there you go, that's progress at least talking about it

@lakejupiter you seem to be covered here goes another wait!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Franklydear · 16/03/2022 21:59

@BellatrixK I don't know, I am going to stay in limbo till the next af, and then see how I feel @Minster2012 I don't know if it can be called progress, just kicking the goal down again

Dawnbird · 16/03/2022 22:08

@Minster2012 yeah sticking to FRER once these are gone. I'm definitely taking this with a huge pile of salt.

pennysays · 16/03/2022 22:13

@Franklydear ah man!! What a flipping rollercoaster. Limbo is rough and tense when you need to feel closest to dp.

@Dawnbird ok get yourself to the shop tomorrow as I can’t hack the suspense. I have a million fingers crossed.

Finally managed to reach out to dp about some things and it felt better. We haven’t had sex in such a long time, we need to find some closeness but I’ve been a bit heart broken by some of his words and just sitting on it until I felt I could raise it. Not going to think anymore about it for a while as it all makes me feel a bit sick.

I have had a moment of serenity recently when I just knew that I would be ok. That I would either get pregnant eventually or I wouldn’t. And if I didn’t, I would still be ok. Trying to hold that close.

Dawnbird · 16/03/2022 23:11

@pennysays it's going to have to be another clearblue, or china cheapie tomorrow. I'm not going to have time to get away from work until after the shops shut.

I'll make sure to watch it like a hawk though haha!

Dawnbird · 16/03/2022 23:14

@pennysays feeling a lot like that myself, embracing the zen... it'll happen when it happens. If we have to we'll go down the assisted route.

Minster2012 · 17/03/2022 08:28

@InkyPaper 🤞🏻thinking of you

@Dawnbird argh how annoying!! Did you try the china one??

paintfairy · 17/03/2022 08:55

I hope today goes well! 🍀 @InkyPaper

Somatronic · 17/03/2022 09:20

Happy St Patrick's Day all! I'm spending the day with a million babies and toddlers at the local parade this afternoon. Wish me luck! The weather is fabulous.

@InkyPaper wishing you all the best for today.

@pennysays fair play to you for raising those issues with DH - that can't have been easy. And your moment of realisation- fabulous. I try to think of things that way too.

@Dawnbird good luck! Have you been trying long?

BellatrixK · 17/03/2022 12:37

@InkyPaper thinking of you 💕
