June Bus anyone?!

Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will! Smile

Hi, just checking in. Have been reading but not posting. I think FW has begun, and DTD this morning.

FX for those people testing (and I'm firmly in the POAS from 7dpo camp Grin )

babydances · 29/05/2016 08:36

I'm on 3dpo- boobs still hurt but not as much. I won't test until / if I'm late I think as I can't take the disappointment of a bfn or the uncertainty of if it was a false bfn. Last month I drove myself nuts!

karryk · 29/05/2016 08:34

Good luck all. Kn33 - maybe try again in a few? X

I'm getting a bit grumpy now...af is supposed to arrive today and all I'm having is spotting. She just needs to come and go already! Envy

wispaxmas · 29/05/2016 08:10

7dpo!! Wouldn't that be impossible, though? I thought implantation wouldn't have happened until 6dpo earliest? Good luck, but don't feel upset if they're BFNs, I think it's to be expected so early. (Though I did test from 8dpo with ICs and lined them all up so when there was a shadow at 12 I could more clearly see it..)

Kn33 · 29/05/2016 07:15

No BFP for me Sad
Hope you have better luck writer and cake x

Allaboutthecake13 · 28/05/2016 23:35

I'll be testing tomorrow too. Fingers crossed for some 7dpo magic!

I'm convinced I felt nauseous all morning today and yesterday, but we'll see if that was a thing or my imagination!

And yes writer crossover between pg and AF symptoms is driving me to distraction.

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 22:45

kn33 - I have got my pee-pot and IC on my bedside table all ready for the morning Grin

And more importantly, I've just discovered creamy CM which is meant to be a good sign? Mind you, it's probably normal for the onset of AF too. It's so irritating that the symptoms for pregnancy and period arrival are so similar!

Hidingthefear · 28/05/2016 22:34

I didn't mean hornby. I didn't feel like a train
I meant horney
(Ps sorry for long post oops)

Hidingthefear · 28/05/2016 22:34

haveacupoftea I haven't taken any conception vitamins but I know when I was pregnant I found that the pregnacare vitamins seemed to make me feel sick. I only started them at 6 weeks preg when i found out i was upduffed and took them for 10 weeks and was very on and off with remembering.I had 35 weeks of sickness though so I can't guarantee that the vits actually made it worse.

According to ovia I'm on CD10. I've no opks but cm is clear and watery. Although I did have shabby pain on right hand side of back/abdomen this morning but prob nothing. Dtd purely coz I felt hornby.

Can't remember who asked about conceiving boy/girl but one scientific study found that male sperm is faster but dies quicker. So if you were to have sex before ov then the boy supermarket might be dead by the time egg is there so female wins.
(I have a boy though and we dtd 3 times in a week,but God knows when ov was because I'd not actually had an af after having coil out and I never knew anything about ovulation.I thought the egg just sat there for 3 weeks Blush they really should teach this at school!)

Kn33 · 28/05/2016 22:08

Might just try when I get up for work in the morning
Hopefully BFP's for us both Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 22:05

I'm 7dpo tomorrow and will be testing Grin

Kn33 · 28/05/2016 22:00

7 writer...
Just ultimately impatient Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 21:56

How many dpo are you??

Kn33 · 28/05/2016 21:50

I reaaaaaallllly want to test even though I know I should wait
Aghhh I'm so impatient

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 21:21

wispa - I remember you too!!

mrsghost - according to Ovia my rest date is about 8 days away but I sharn't be dictated to by an App and will instead start testing tomorrow!! Grin Grin

I've just got home from work and I've still been cramping all day and having jabby pains in my left hand size.

CM is clear and a little bit sticky, which isn't really in keeping with post-conception CM but I'm staying positive! Grin

haveacupoftea · 28/05/2016 20:09

CD5 and AF is just about over so can get started dtd! Exciting!

Does anyone else find conception/pregnancy vitamins make them feel a bit sicky? I am taking Asda own brand ones.

Tryingtowait · 28/05/2016 13:21

sunshine I use fertility friend.

Enjoying the sunshine today while ds is in the sandpit. Thought the tww would get easier as the months went onbut cycle 6 and I'm still symptom spotting like anything, still a week until I can accurately get an answer

MrsGsnow18 · 28/05/2016 12:59

Are you using opks babydances?
I'm struggling with working out CM. I really can't tell what's what.

babydances · 28/05/2016 12:40

I've been watching my cf like a hawk, it's all very interesting! I've gone from EWCM to creamy so I think that was the end of my ovulating!

wispaxmas · 28/05/2016 12:27

Hi everyone, just checking in to mark my place to cheer you all on!

Writer, I remember you from the TTC buses back in 2013!! Shock

FriendlyGhost · 28/05/2016 10:35

Excited to hear about the testing!
On cd 18 here. I think if I ovulated this month it's happened already as 24 hours with no cm. I hope dtd last Sunday and Wednesday was enough. Definitely no symptoms yet!

MrsGsnow18 · 28/05/2016 08:57

When is your test day writer?
According to ovia its my FW. CD19 and no positive OPK yet but dtd every other day and will begin every day if DH can take that!
Will really need some new ways to seduce him! Last two times we dtd he couldn't finish, think he feels the pressure a bit now to perform on demand!

LilySnape · 28/05/2016 08:37

According to ovia im in day 31 of my luteal phase and my period is 1 day late Confused after the MMC last month im not sure when its going to show up

Sunshineface123 · 28/05/2016 07:07

Exciting seeing people with some early symptoms, fingers crossed for the first BFP on here soon! Anyone got a good app which can track temps? I'm using ovia but only tracks in Fahrenheit and my thermometer is in celcuis Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 06:45

6dpo and still having crampy and twingy sensations on my left side now, that's been 3 days of it now.

I read somewhere that even before implantation it's very common to get twinges and cramps as it's the uterus preparing itself for the fertilised egg!

I'm clearly pregnant, haha Grin Grin
