June Bus anyone?!

Barefootcontessa84 · 02/05/2016 22:59

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

I've not had any of that egg white looking CM just wet and some white (tmi) is that not normal? Sad

Blondie0912 · 25/05/2016 20:38

Haven't been on in a few days and man has this thread blown up!
hiding I'm so sorry your house fell through! Buying a property is such a stressful time!!!!!! However I always think it's "not meant to be" when stuff like that happens! You'll find something better Grin
babydances EWCM means (eew sorry this is gross) egg-white cervical mucas...

And I agree with all of you about baby-making DTD.... Also, I always seem to find that during my FW it's always so difficult to DTD as much as I want just because of everyday life!!!!!! So jealous of people who get PG by accident now!!!!! Haha!

friendlyghost - another one still breast feeding here. He used to be an awful sleeper, waking up for feeds all the time, and when he was 10 months old I paid a Sleep Consultant to help me as I was getting about 4 hours sleep (broken sleep) a night and I just couldn't cope.

He's 2yr 2m now and thankfully he sleeps 8pm-6am so I'm hoping I will be ok coping with just one new bad sleeper in the form of a newborn Grin

babydances EWCM is Egg White Cervical Mucus which is the type of vaginal discharge that occurs around ovulation and is optimum for conception. If you google it you will see lots of images of what it looks like.

Need to go back and Catch up on all your chinwagging as ttc hasn'the been on my mind. House sale has fallen through so then we were going to be living with fil and now it might be back on and friggin af is still here and I really wish she would piss off now. So I'm not feeling very calm and also second guessing if ttc is actually a good idea if we might technically be homeless.
friendlyghost I'll join you with the boobing and no sleep. God knows why I want to do this all again but I really do.
I've had this strange realisation that you're actually real people because I've just got back from meeting a bunch of mumsnetters that I started talking to in 2014 when I conceived my first.and the idea that were sharing this journey is pretty exciting. That sounded pretty soppy but it was just a nice thought I had lol

babydances · 25/05/2016 20:12

What does EWCM mean? Yes sex dtd feels really rubbish since ttc. Feels like quantity over qualityband I feel sad and bad about that

haveacupoftea · 25/05/2016 19:50

Sorry i didnt give my full details...

Age 30
TTC #1
CYCLE #1
ETD: 21st June

AF came yesterday so am on CD2...almost the worst time of the month because you can't do anything!

FriendlyGhost · 25/05/2016 19:32

I'm still a novice too with an almost 18 month old. I'm just making stuff up as I go along! She still breastfeeds on demand and doesn't sleep through so no idea how I will cope with the exhaustion and sickness of pregnancy but somehow I'm desperate to do it all again. I think I must be slightly in denial.
Butterpuff I remember last time I went to the dr at about 6 weeks pregnant because I was so excited. I couldn't believe that he didn't even bother doing a test to check. He just told me he'd fill in the paperwork to refer me to a midwife and sent me on my way. I don't know what I expected but I left feeling a bit disappointed. Had to wait until I was 11 weeks to see the midwife. It felt like forever!

Sunshineface123 · 25/05/2016 19:24

I've also got ewcm today but neg opk! Weird as cd14 don't usually ov till cd18...just try to do the deed as much possible starting now I guess!

Butterpuff · 25/05/2016 18:32

MizzisDee I have a 14 Month dd.....but still feel like a novice! I'm not sure that ever changes. Grin I was wondering earlier who you contact after bfp local mlu or docs. I can't remember! Though I do remember that they were mo where near as excited as me and I had to wait ages to see anyone!

Writerwannabe83 · 25/05/2016 18:20

And did he deliver his goods? Grin

I was talking to my friend yesterday about the romance of TTC sex!! When me and DH were TTC our DS I kept laughing during sex because it suddenly seemed very perfunctory and unnatural Grin

MizzisDee · 25/05/2016 18:14

Welcome to all the newcomers.

It's great hearing stories from those of you with DC alreay who've done all this before. I feel like such a novice!

You'll be pleased to know DH turned up eventually last night, not too late either and really apologetic when I explained why I'd been a bit annoyed Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 25/05/2016 18:08

I got my EWCM one morning alongside a negative OPK but when I tested again three hours later I had a really obvious second line. I then tested again at about 7pm and it was super strong positive.

Keep testing as the surge can come on quite quickly I believe..

MrsGsnow18 · 25/05/2016 17:40

So ladies today I just realised I am now a full on crazy ttc. Somehow managed to wake husband up at 6ish this morning because I felt I might have EWCM and wanted to squeeze in dtd before work Blush
OPK said not ovulating though!

Anyone else feeling like a complete looney recently?

Writerwannabe83 · 25/05/2016 17:17

I was reading an article that said hormone surges and changes start to occur as soon as conception has taken place in order to make the uterus a suitable environment for a fertilised egg.

The article recognised that actual pregnancy symptoms can't occur until the egg is implanted and is releasing HCG but accepts that conception itself can cause symptoms that women can be aware of.

FriendlyGhost · 25/05/2016 16:57

Writer, my mum is convinced she knew she was pregnant with my sister the day after she was conceived. She said she had a really bad headache and just felt off all day. Had anyone else said this I wouldn't have believed them but my mum is usually very sensible about these things. I suppose it could have been down to some sort of hormone surge so you possibly can have some very early symptoms.

Writerwannabe83 · 25/05/2016 16:47

babydances - I've been googling today about symptoms a woman can have from the day after conception Grin

babydances · 25/05/2016 16:04

Hi everyone, this thread is getting busy, yay! Grin let's hope lots of BFP from this bus! That's very strange wibblewobble any ideas why it did that? writer I'm going to try my best to not symptom spot as I was convinced I was pregnant last month and was really disappointed when I wasn't. I was about 10 days late and had all these symptoms and poas loads, it got expensive Shock and then af came Confused
Fingers crossed this cycle is better and less expensive on the sticks!

CinnamonTwist · 25/05/2016 15:35

I may be out of June, bearing in mind we were going to start trying in June, that puts my first ETD at 9th July. However, we waited for my FW to end before stopping preventing, then I got Ovia yesterday and it reckons we dtd on the last day of my FW... Doubt it was successful but would be just our luck not to have waited quite long enough... It's my short cycle this month though (in theoryHmm) so chances are slimmer, we shall see! Hoping af will come as normal so we can stick to the plan Grin

happybus28 · 25/05/2016 15:23

Can i join too?!

Age 28 (just)
TTC No 1
Cycle 1

1st cycle off the pill, currently on CD15 waiting for ovulation! I had a cycle off pill at the end of last year and it was 37 days so i think this time may be similar!! Based on another 37 day cycle my ETD will be 16th June!

Butterpuff · 25/05/2016 14:10

friendly it was my boobs that gave the game away last time too. I was so convinced that I didn't see the point in testing, gave in and got the proof more than a week after AF was due!

I was wondering about symptom spotting, had no implantation bleed last time. So im just waiting to see if my boobs start top feel bruised again or not (though to be honest with the treatment they have had from Dd over the past year and a bit they may have lost all sense of feeling!)

I'm not sure how to update the stats but think my ETD may be around the 6th.

Have a lovely holiday barefoot

FriendlyGhost · 25/05/2016 13:56

It's lovely there are so many of us. Hopefully this is a lucky thread!
Lucky you going on holiday barefoot. No idea if flights make any difference. I doubt it if you've already ovulated. Hope you have a nice relaxing time. It's a good way to get through the two week wait!
Writer you might get implementation spotting soon if you've been successful. When I got pregnant with my dd my boobs suddenly got massive a few days before af was due. Even DH noticed and knew I was pregnant before I tested. I was in denial! I also realised in hindsight that I had got up to use the loo every night since we conceived. Hope you get some symptoms soon.
Wobble wobble I haven't been using any tests but I'm still really confused too. Every online ovulation calculator I use gives me different fertile dates. My prediction was this Thursday or Friday but then I has some mucus on Monday which looked like the fertile stuff. I just don't know what to believe! I guess with all things they're just an indicator.
I'm going to get my legs waxed this afternoon in the hope that I can tempt DH into bed with silky smooth legs tonight. If not then I think I'm out of the game this month.

Updated stats ladies! Let me know if I've missed anything. Finally on holiday - think I was due to ovulate yesterday - got off a long haul flight so worried time differences/ change in circadian rhythms will mess with things! Any thoughts..?
