May bus

@sleepyhead11 I wasn't going to OPK but my mum made a comment that it took her 6 years to conceive me...I went into overdrive and just wanted to make sure I was ok. They helped confirm I am pretty regular so I probably won't do them for much longer. I've used the advanced ones this month because I had an offer and they've just helped me see I have an estrogen surge for almost a week prior to ovulation. They are easy to be obsessed with though!!

@Novella12 ha, that's amazing. My partner is tired a lot, but think we might have a bit more sex this month. (I hope.) I hate feeling like I am badgering him for it though. Last month we only dtd twice so I guess it wasn't likely.

@MeganMama28 I was told to avoid all NSAIDS by my GP but it's OK to take paraceomol, and even co codamol, which I was amazed by. Just Googled Nsaids and apparently they do increase MC risk - www.theguardian.com/society/2011/sep/06/ibuprofen-warning-to-pregnant-women (Slightly scary Guardian link here - I felt a bit sick when I saw it but means I will not take any ibuprofen.)

I hope the headache buggers off soon.

I still don't know how OPKs work, and not sure if I want to know or not, if that makes sense? There's part of me that likes not knowing, but I also like to be in control. Just on day 6 of cycle now, so it's unlikely I'movulating, right? (just on cycle three so new to this.)

@Paddypaws91 fab thank you I'll take some now as I don't think I'll be able to get up otherwise, its pretty bad! Will definitely avoid ibuprofen!

Hope everyone's enjoying the Easter weekend! @Paddypaws91 the bunnies and eggs comment really made me giggle love that 🐰🥚!

I've woken up with a headache today and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere! Is it safe to take paracetamol during the 2ww? My head is pounding but I don't want to mess anything up!

That's blazing indeed! Hope hubby is awake enough 😂😂 xx

Thanks @Peachyx2505 I may be a bit naive but didn’t realise they had to dry to read the results woops!
Took another pic of it and looks like a blazing positive! Oh dear, DP is exhausted tonight, hope I can sweet talk him round !

@MountAbora what does it loom like now it's dried? Still looks a little wet in the pic so don't think it's fully developed. It's looking good tho 😀

Is this a positive OPK?! First month of using the tests and line is slightly lighter than the control line, anyone able to give tips on whether this means it’s go time please?

@sleepyhead11 I’m feeling positive too! My DH said today, when I told him about AF, that he thinks we should just try (in his lovely Yorkshire phrasing) “shagging non stop this month” 😂 so I think we’ll be putting the OPKs to one side this month too and just doing it the old fashioned way!

Hi @Novella12 - glad to see you here (but obvs sad that you didn't get your positive.) Have a feeling May might be our month.

I don't know much about charting, and trying hard to not get too hung up on it, but AF just gone so thinking will move into fertile window soon. Next AF due 13th May.

My opk was positive last night and negative this morning so I'm assuming I'll be ovulating today.

Dtd last 2 nights in prep and will jump on oh again tonight or tomorrow morning.

Good luck everyone ❤️

Hey all!
Joining this bus as well as staying on the April bus - CD19 with positive OPK today and one app has AF/BFP due 30th of April the other the 4th of may!

TTC # 1
Cycle # 2

I’m in for May.

Cycle 3
TTC #1

I got totally obsessed in cycle 1 and wasted a fortune on sticks to pee on 😂 This time round have been a lot calmer, but DH was noticeably upset that my period came this morning so he is obviously taking as seriously as I am.

Next period due 17th May, my birthday is the week before and we usually go away, so hopefully that will stop me freaking out in the 2ww 😂

Predicted OV day for me today. ClearBlue was solid smiley yesterday. I've DTD 5 times in 4 days. Feel like I've done all I can. On our way for a childfree weekend, we'll no doubt DTD when we get there Glad to not have to worry about faffing with OPKs this weekend! Have a good one all!

@Rubberyduck I'm just taking folic acid and vitamin d (when I remember!!) and I'd go by your opks xx

@Paddypaws91 the bunny's and egg comment made me lol.... 😂😂

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I've got 4 lovely nights to work......just keep telling myself think of the extra bank holiday pay to buy more hpt's 😂😂 I'm going to chill in bed this morning, maybe catch a nap and then move out to the garden this avo to soak up the sun.

Hi 👋 ladies who've just hopped on. Fingers crossed xx

@rubberyduck we’ve just started taking the pregnacare conception ones (I’m taking some folic acid too). I’ve heard both good and bad things about them, so I’m interested to see how they work out for us.

@paddypaws91 hope you have a lovely few days too!

Im really confused by my fertile dates. First day of period was 10th April. Ovia puts fertile wondow starting today. I have had two day of watery to sticky CM. Negative opks. Clearblue calculator says I would ovulate around the 23rd? So much difference between the two dates and what my body is saying

What vitamins are you all taking? I am only on folic atm

Hello everyone!

I’m jumping on as AF arrived (6 days late!!!) today. I’m excited to get cracking on the next cycle!

TTC (trying to conceive): #1
Age: 31
Cycle: 4
CD (cycle day): 1
AF/BFP (big fat positive) due: 18th May

We’re both taking conception vitamins this month, that’s the only change. Hopefully they’ll work! I’m hoping we’ll be able to DTD a bit more over the fertile week too as it handily falls over the May bank holiday and we have no plans 😂 we had a busy month last month so didn’t manage as much as I’d have liked.

But today- I’m going to enjoy the bank holiday with a large glass of wine this evening!

Jumping on this bus (my 1st one to comment on)

TTC #2
Cycle 12 (ish)
Age 31

Bit of complicated situation on CD 74!! (Yes 74). No sign of AF, usually had regular (longer cycles of 32-36) days for last 12 months +.

1st baby took 2 years + to convince and conceived in between fertility appointments.

Referral to fertility clinic and had 1st app feb, but no period since so can't have by bloods done as still waiting for next cycle.

Had a possible false positive preg test in March at GP but bloods x2 and a further 10 preg tests came back negative. And no bleeding.

Had PCOS ruled out last year.

I've got BBT, OPKs and conception vitamins to start taking (currently just taking folic acid) all ready to start on next cycle (which is yet to turn up).

I'm hoping May is the month, still not sure what's going on with cycle but hoping AF or BFP show up soon! Trying to not get to stressed as it was only when finally relaxed last time that it happened.

Good luck sending lots of baby dust!

Aww thank you @Rubberyduck 💕 🤞 for you too x

Jumping on please

Ttc #1
Cycle 1
Af/bfp due: absolutely no idea. Came off the pill in September and since then have had 1 af which was now 3 months ago 😬 have booked in to see gp this week as worried I may have pcos/ not ovulating. But will start ttc anyway. Fingers crossed for us all x
