Hi everyone 👋

Can't see a May bus, so thought I'd start one up!

A little bit about me...

TTC: #1
Age: 28
Cycle: 5
CD: 5
AF/BFP due: 10th May

This cycle I'm making a real effort to take my pre-conception vitamins EVERY day and going to use Pre-seed this cycle too.

Come on in and share your stories, symptoms and if needed, vent to your heart's content... Grin

Cycle 1 @MrsMck18 so I think it would be extremely lucky, especially as just came off the pill in March.

Thanks @MeganMama28 wishing a nice BFP for you too!

MeganMama28 · 24/04/2019 22:42

May bus has been very busy the last couple of days I'm trying to catch up!

@Renault5 I had the same last month but apparently it was because I was drinking too much water before doing the OPK which gives a false negative? DTD every two days sounds like a good plan try not to worry I know its easier said than done - I feel like I'm always worrying!

@Paddypaws91 fab chart thank you for posting this!

@birdshavewings congratulations on your BFP that's such fantastic exciting news!!!

@MrsMck18 I'm in the TWW and a fortnight has never felt this long!

@tisonlymeagain I'm 8dpo today, AF/BFP 1st May so we're not too far apart. I've not had any symptoms for either so not sure what to think ☹️ sending BFP wishes your way hopefully we will both be pleasantly surprised next week ❤️

MrsMck18 · 24/04/2019 22:23

@tisonlymeagain I will keep everything crossed with you. What cycle are you on?

tisonlymeagain · 24/04/2019 22:22

I'm on 2WW @MrsMck18 and it's draaaaaaaagging. 5dpo today. AF due 3rd May. Am having major AF symptoms so not feeling positive.

MrsMck18 · 24/04/2019 22:19

Evening all,

AF finished yesterday for me so looking forward to start doing OPKs by the end of the week. I'm on CD 6 atm.

Auntie Flo is due 16th May. This is my first cycle so not putting out much hope.

It's so good to hear everyone's stories and experiences!

Anyone in the 2WW yet?

mylittlebunny · 24/04/2019 22:07

Im hoping to notice a change in my cervical mucus any day now. The bleeding has now completely stopped following my miscarriage and I think the cervical mucus will be the best indicator for me.

I bought alot of OPK the other day and have been using them since the bleeding stopped.

I hate not knowing what is going on in my body. I dont know my AF due date or my ovulation date.....so its frustrating.

Savvysaz · 24/04/2019 22:00

Will do! I’m excited!!

Renault5 · 24/04/2019 21:47

@Savvysaz please do let us know how it goes I am really curious about it and almost ordered it the other day as well !!

Paddypaws91 · 24/04/2019 21:25

Ooooh @Savvysaz let us know how you get on with it! I'm tempted to purchase too, so will be interesting to hear your review x

Renault5 · 24/04/2019 21:16

@Sleepyhead11 maybe it is a possibility .
I have been dtd every 2 days since day 7 of cycle so I hope not to miss on the ovulation window. It is so hard to understand the body is such a strange thing that is so unpredictable. I which we could see what happens inside haha would be so much easier !!!

Savvysaz · 24/04/2019 21:13

Ladies, I’ve caved and ordered an Ava Bracelet 😬 I hope I don’t regret my purchase. With AF appearing so early and being so uncharacteristic of my usual AF, which has now messed up my predicted Ov dates as they’ve all changed I’m going to give Ava a go

Paddypaws91 · 24/04/2019 21:00

Wow lots of activity on this thread today. Welcome newbies 🙌 please feel free to share your journey, questions, moans and groans 

@Sleepyhead11 I have to applaud you for taking the time to write that epic post 👏🏼 I don't have experience with any other apps I'm afraid. Flo has always been spot on for me, but the last 2 cycles my O date changed and I missed days when I should have DTD! I blame myself for putting in every little daily symptom I had, I think I confused it tbh!!
i think some apps you have to pay for. Flo is free unless you want to upgrade to a premium account 👍

Also, to answer your CM question, when you are very close to ovulating it becomes clear and watery. You tend to get egg white CM a few days before you ovulate. I've posted a fancy little chart that may help ☺️

@sleepyhead1 this is my first cycle but as you've probably seen its been a bit difficult emotionally. We've DTD CD 10, 11 and 16. I got a static smiley on CD 15 . But it says that you can get 6 days so I think DTD any time in the run up is good .

Sleepyhead11 · 24/04/2019 20:50

@limesoda thank you, I have a feeling I might be the same. @McHelenz and @Renault5 maybe we're the same? Have been dtd on day 14 for last two months with no luck though, but maybe just timing on day?X

McHelenz · 24/04/2019 20:37

@renault5 28 days, Im pretty regular too so I O on the same day and my periods rarely late. Im sure that will all change haha.

limesoda · 24/04/2019 20:30

@Sleepyhead11 mine are 28 days long exactly, with ovulation on day 14. Variance on this seems way more ‘normal’ but mine fit the basic biology textbook cycle perfectly. Except for the whole part of that same lesson where I thought if I so much as looked at a boy I would get pregnant 😂

Renault5 · 24/04/2019 20:29

@McHelenz ok thanks for your reply I will try and be more patient haha how ont is your cycle ?!

Renault5 · 24/04/2019 20:25

@Tropicana1 I have 27 days cycle sometimes shorter but very occasionally ...

Ok thanks I will keep on checking then and see. I feel very bloated today though which is usually one of the signs for me ..:

I let you know on the next few days if I get anything ;)

How many days is your cycle ?

McHelenz · 24/04/2019 20:13

@renault5 I don't get positives until CD 15 so dont worry! :)

Tropicana1 · 24/04/2019 20:11

@Renault5 I wouldn't worry, I didn't get a positive until CD 18 this month :) how long are your cycles normally?

Renault5 · 24/04/2019 20:08

Girls I need some advise or reassurance. I am now on cd 12 and got another negative opk ?! Should I worry ? I am scared I am not ovulating this month or am I been impatiente ?!
Sorry I just have a freaking out moment

Charlotte9876 · 24/04/2019 18:57

@Sleepyhead11 I am in awe of your epic post. I try to keep up with everyone and I just can't!! You have done an excellent job! Fingers crossed cycle 3 is the one for us both 😊

@BowiesJumper that's reassuring to know thank you. I've been trying to temp and my readings everyday are definitely not as even as you'd think they should be (FF send me little reminders that my chart is too spikey). I'm pretty good at making sure it's always the same time of day, but I travel a lot with work so my room temperature isn't always the same. I'll keep doing it because it makes me feel like I'm trying at least and gives me something to obsess about, but perhaps it isn't for me.

@mrssunshinexxx I read a study that basically said that the opposite of the shettles method was true, so who knows! Not that I'm aiming for a boy/girl either, I was also just curious

Hi everyone,
Joining the May bus after AF appeared this morning, I have 2 DC's who I conceived literally in the first two cycles, this time round it's been almost 12m, trying to be positive and track using Flo app x

mrssunshinexxx · 24/04/2019 17:37

Also may I add I couldn't care less about the sex a healthy baby is all that matters I was just intrigued
