May Bus

Aph413 · 07/04/2018 19:31

I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

Sooo... i wasn't going to use opks this month but had ewcm yest & today and my poas addiction just got the better of me and I got a static smiley on a CB advanced opk, I'm CD15 today and normally don't ov til CD18/19...need to make sure we dtd tonight as we haven't since CD12 🤦‍♀️ does anyone know if the CB tests can give false readings if you don't start them at the right time in your cycle?!

Babybeany · 29/04/2018 08:13

Ding ding! Can I hop on please?!
Morning everyone. Good to see some friendly names on here.

Mmc in August last year, been trying ever since.
Just bought my first pack of opks, no smiley faces yet...
28 day cycle, AF due May 15th so should be ovulating around now.

Anyone else expecting af on the 15th? I need someone to share the crazies with! X

clairehr · 29/04/2018 07:22

Should have ovulated yesterday, but none of my usual signs! No EWCM which I have ALWAYS had. Temp has jumped, but no O cramps either. Had barely any CM this whole cycle so I think I'm probably out before I'm even in this cycle Sad

ronniemipperton · 29/04/2018 06:59

@HidCat have you tested? I managed to convince myself it was implantation cramps but bfn this morning. Wish I hadn’t tested as I’m 11 dpo so going to torture myself with a glimmer of hope that I may not be out, but was a FRER so probably would’ve shown something by now.

MrsY87 · 28/04/2018 20:17

@silverpenguin yep I'm probably crazy! I've always wanted 3 and the crazy, noisy household like I grew up in. after 2 I just don't feel like I'm done or that our family is complete.When I was pregnant with #2 DH said no more but now DS is here I think he realises how much I want a 3rd despite the sleep deprivation and that we'd regret not having another whereas I can't see that we'd ever regret having a 3rd, he did say let's just get on with it rather than dragging out the baby years though hence ttc when DS is only 7m! Your DH might change his mind once you've had #2.

I hate the tww too, although mine is normally only 11 days so at least that's something! When will you test? I'm a total POAS addict 🤦‍♀️

silverpenguin · 28/04/2018 19:55

mrsy87 TTC no. 3? You must be someone that enjoys chaos Wink just kidding, I'd love three to although DH only wants two so we'll have to see how that goes.

4DPO here and looking forward to the week ahead. Really don't enjoy the TWW!!!

Wingingit321 · 28/04/2018 19:00

Lots of ewcm today but negative ovulation yeah (never actually had a positive bit have 2 kids so presume I’m ovulating!!) typically DH isn’t here

HidCat · 28/04/2018 15:11

@ronniemipperton my cycle's been a bit like that. Awful cramps last week, expecting af in the next few days and no af symptoms at all for the last couple of days. Sometimes I think our bodies cramp up mid cycle just to mess with us!

ready4number2 · 28/04/2018 15:10

Got my positive opk yesterday and this morning. This is my first month temping, when should I expect to see a rise if I ovulate in the next day or two?
Also, only cd26 and my last was at 75 day cycle, so this is an improvement :)

ronniemipperton · 28/04/2018 13:11

Urgh I’m only on cd24 (usually 30 day cycles) but have such bad cramps. Hope this doesn’t mean AF is coming early and I got my O date wrong. Been tracking things for months and my body still doesn’t seem to be following any logical pattern :/

Verysmallcat · 28/04/2018 07:35

Hi guys I introduced myself earlier on and now I have started the 2ww.
Had a dream last night that I got a positive pregnancy test, when I started waking up I thought about getting a digital one to test with, before I realised it was just a dream! 😂 Here's hoping to a speedy two weeks

MrsY87 · 27/04/2018 18:47

Hello, jumping on here too!

ttc#3, DD is 3.5, DS is 7m. Cycle 2 since stopping bf & periods retuned, we tried to catch that first egg but no luck! DD took 1 cycle, DS 10 cycles & 2 mc so who knows how long it will take this time.

Currently CD12 but don't normally ov til around CD18. Have decided not to use opks or temp or anything this month & just see what happens trying not to get obsessed too early on...Due 15th May...fingers crossed it's everyone's lucky month!

xLauraa · 27/04/2018 15:31

@Owlpatrol ahh 😣 so so sorry! I REALLY feel for you 💕 hopefully you get some luck soon!

Miserablemouse · 27/04/2018 15:15

Haha good luck everyone trying not to symptom spot!
I think I am 4dpo but then I had EWCM this morning?! Weird. Not using OPKs or temping this month so no idea if I've already ovulated or not. Will try and get lots of sex in tonight just in case!

If I am 4dpo I haven't started symptom spotting yet which is a first haha. My boobs are useless, never get sore at any point of my cycle so at least they're one less thing to symptom spot on Grin

Aph413 · 27/04/2018 14:27

6dpo can I symptom spot yet? My boobs are killing me so surely thats something right? Grin Must get a hold of myself

silverpenguin · 27/04/2018 12:55

I'm 3dpo and symptom spotting 🙈 think it's impossible not to! I'm going to test on Wednesday next week I think, I'll only be 8dpo but that's when I got a faint bfp when expecting my daughter so I know it can happen...

Spottyyellowdress · 27/04/2018 09:53

@jaykaydee Glad it’s not just me! Fingers crossed for you.

jaykaydee · 27/04/2018 07:18

@spottyyellowdress Also 2WW and found myself symptom sporting yesterday even though there's no way anything could have implanted yet at only 4dpo. I convinced myself I felt a bit nauseous while brushing my teeth before talking myself down.

Af is due 2nd or 3rd. But I know I'm out this month I have all the usual signs of my period coming- snappy, irrational, full of spots and starving. I did an ic on Monday bfn but I have no more and will not buy any. I've got some ovulation sticks for next cycle.

Hello again @owlpatrol. Really hope this is the one for you.

Into the 2ww now and already symptom spotting!! Determined not to test until (if) af is late.

How’s everyone else getting on?
