May Bus

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!

First post on here but hoping for a bit of moral support and to pick up any tips. Going to try and loose some weight as I think that’s a big part of the problem.

Can I join? Smile

I have started using OPKs. So far this month they are negative. Last month the positive came up on CD12 so I'll keep checking. I'm hoping O is going to happen in the next couple of days...

Have been waiting (for various reasons) to start TTC since May last year so nervous, excited, nervous etc...eep. Trying not to become obsessive from the off, but I doubt that will work.

Just about to ovulate according to my OPK's. Thought I was still out but very late ovulation😊

Miserablemouse I'm getting 2 months worth from a clear blue trial too so I'm actually going to end up with 80 Blush

Hi guys,

Can I join, still waiting on AF due today, still no sign but 3 negative pregnancy tests later. I'm just waiting for AF to stop the torture of maybes and come already.

Age: 29.
Ttc: #2
Cycle: 7
CD: 34.

No symptoms except headaches. Can't remember how I felt with DS1 was so long ago. Just wanna curl in a ball tbh, feel very deflated this month. Why'd I book three days off on the lead up to AF?

Miserablemouse · 11/04/2018 12:43

Oooh damn @Aph413 I've just spent a small fortune on a load off Amazon! Might check out that groupon anyway though for future months (joining you in the boundless optimism for this cycle haha).

Aph413 · 11/04/2018 10:26

Well I juat discovered a groupon for clearblue ovulation tests. Half price for the digital advanced tests, just ordered myself 40. I will find out when I ovulate.

AF friends up exactly as scheduled by my app (but not by my calculations) this morning. Ding ding for the May bus!

Countrygirl94 · 10/04/2018 13:44

Hi All

Age: 24
TTC: 1
Cycle 6

Cycle has been all out of sorts the last 2 months, AF coming to an end now.
Going to try give up the apps this month, don't think they are helping anyway. I am going to give opks a go though and just keep having more sex.

flyingplum · 10/04/2018 12:30

No AF for me yet, but BFN this morning on a frer so I'm joining if that's ok :D

Age: 32 (33 in a couple of weeks)
TTC: #1
Cycle: 4
CD: currently on 35 and waiting for AF to turn up. I've PCOS and endometriosis which affects my cycles, but they've been nice and regular since about september last year. Think that nice run of luck might be about to expire...sigh.

Am thinking about tracking less obsessively and just shagging a LOT...i think i'd be happier if i could just realise some point that i was on cycle day 60 and hadn't had a period, do a test and get a nice strong line, rather than torturing myself over whether or not there's a faint line, or just a shadow from the bathroom lights...

MrsM2017 · 10/04/2018 11:59

@Verysmallcat that's pretty much what I did this cycle too (only 1 day late before AF showed!). I hate it when you convince yourself that period symptoms could be pregnancy symptoms! This TTC malarkey is making me a little crazy! 😂

Miserablemouse · 10/04/2018 11:16

Hopping on.

Age: 26
TTC #1
Cycle: 12
CD: 7
Cycle Length: 35ish

Last period arrived on first day of “romantic” mini break over husbands birthday. Next one due to arrive on my birthday.

Going to use OPKs again this cycle and try to have as much sex as we can, don’t think we’ve been having enough as my mental health hasn’t been great which doesn’t do much to put you in the mood.

Was 5 days late last cycle, which made me super excited despite the bfns (because obviously in my head I just ovulated late and those period like cramps were defo implantation cramps right? 😂) But my period showed up yesterday in full force 😂 good luck guys xx

LG93 · 09/04/2018 21:55

Aph you've just reminded me I forgot to use it tonight 😂it's still downstairs. Will let you know how I get on

Hi All

I’m hoping to be on the April bus but no signs at all (except sensitive nipples) so more than likely be joining you all in the May bus journey xx

HidCat · 09/04/2018 19:08

Hi ladies mind if I join? Been to EPU today for some checks after MC in January and they seem to think AF is imminent but no signs of ovulation yet so won't be TTC til after I've had my period.

starsandstuff · 09/04/2018 18:46

Found out I can get my coil removed on Thursday. The GP told me on Friday it would be 6 weeks 🙄 Annoyingly they could actually do it tomorrow evening but I'm working late and I'm convinced I'll actually be ovulating tomorrow!! So definitely May for me.

MrsM2017 · 09/04/2018 17:18

That should be "morning" not "korning"!!!! 😂

MrsM2017 · 09/04/2018 17:17

Definitely on this bus - AF showed up early this korning, albeit a day late, but she's here in full force!

Keeping everything crossed for this month as hubby is away with work during half of my fw!

Starsong82 · 09/04/2018 17:16

Mind if I hop on?

Age: 36

Cycle: 1
CD: 2

Came off the pill in Feb after nearly 20 years on one contraceptive or another and having taken scrupulous notes and numerous opk's since to try and work out what kind of cycle I actually have this is the month we start trying. I'm pretty nervous as the internet keeps telling me my age and BMI (both 36) are against me but fingers crossed!

Aph413 · 09/04/2018 16:54

LG93 You'll have to let me know how you get on with the ovusense monitor. Seriously considering it with my cycle length

Hopping on the bus!
Age:25
Cycle: 9 or 10 - can't remember
Cycle length: anywhere between 25 and 45 days (thanks pcos!)
Cd: 4

Not much else to add at the minute - will have been a year in June since TTC - gp won't refer me to see a specialist until September (she's a fertility specialist gp) as said she's tried fertility drugs herself and they're not pleasant and as we know what's wrong she'd rather be absolutely certain I'm not ovulating myself before we go down that road.

I ordered an ovusense monitor which arrived yesterday so once AF disappears I'll be trying that out to see if I'm actually ovulating or not. I tried temping before but my sleep patterns are quite irregular so hoping this will be more accurate.

I have a doc apt on Tuesday, asking for a referral to the clinic as I'm nearly 35. 21 day test came back fine, SA test came back acceptable.
