June Bus No2

@mrssunshinexxx I have no idea 😩 this is our first month ttc, I'm 7 or 8 dpo and have been having major cramping the last 24 hours particularly on the left side (don't know if it makes a difference which side). How about you? X

@HoneyBee833 what date is your af due x

Hi all!

Been watching this thread for a while now!

@mrssunshinexxx I'm testing Saturday or Sunday 🤞🏼

X

I have itchy feet to test but when I think about it I think any symptoms are all in my head buttttt many women fall pregnant with no symptoms as it is very very early really trying to stay positive

Who is testing sat/sun??

@ELW85

That's good to know! I've had a look at my OPKs again as i had photographed them and there was a line the Sunday PM (9th) and Tuesday AM (11th) though neither were darker than the guideline and also i remember thinking at the time i might've mixed up Sunday and Monday's as i only decided to label them after the fact. So i put down Tuesday the 11th as ovulation as i think the surge must've been overnight Mon-Tues.

Starting to look into the thermometers now! Femometer sounds good if the app can also look at the OPKs for you!

@mumofbun - to be fair, the first month I tried OPKs, I couldn’t find my surge. Don’t get disheartened, it can be tricky to catch.
I use IC OPKs twice a day when they start to get darker to make sure I don’t miss it (too expensive to use CB twice a day!)

I bought the Femometer from Bongmi; it’s in Amazon for about £28. You get an app with it that analyses your OPK strips too and tells you if you’ve got any issues with your luteal phase etc by analysing your chart against the data it has.
It’s great, and has given me a lot of peace of mind!

There’s also a good free charting resource on OvaGraph, which is based on the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book by Toni Weschler. Fertility Friend is another popular one.
Obviously you’d still need to buy a BBT thermometer, but it gives you the freedom of choice!

@ELW85

I don't temp - this was my first month trying OPKs as i thought i had a good idea of when i was ovulating but as i didn't get any positives it's hard to know if i'm right or just missed the surge. I think i will try temping next month - do you do it and do you have any recommendations for apps etc?

@Abi58 - congratulations again :) really happy for you!

@Tamalama - sorry to hear that, here’s to July being our month 🥂

@mumofbun - do you temp at all? OPKs and temps combined give a really good view of Ov, as OPKs alone don’t mean you have, unfortunately.

@Tamalama I think I will be joining you 😢 did a test first thing as I’d convinced myself and bfn! I think I’m 12 dpo so would think I would see something by now? Everything else pointing to AF - boobs so tender, feeling a bit sick, moody...

I’m wondering if I just didn’t ovulate? If I had potentially ovulated early and missed it with the opks then AF should be here by now...but I didn’t get anywhere with the opks and only had minimal CM. Any thoughts?

@Tamalama I'm so sorry :(

So sorry to hear that @Tamalama ... none of your apps got the right date then!

I'm still spotting today.
If this is meant to be my period then it's pretty god damn light...

Thank you @Abi58 😊 lol, I'll be at work all day! Good distraction I suppose...

Morning ladies, I'm definitely out ☹️ I've just done my fmu and when I wiped af had arrived 😕 I guess I'll be hopping on the July bus.

@Robbo93 you must be similar to me as I came off the pill March and then started trying. That’s good that you are averaging 28 days, i was worried about coming off the pill and how long it would take but mine averaged out to 28 days fairly quickly.

We dtd around day 10 every other / every day for around a week every month and it still took me 4 cycles to get a bfp, hopefully you won’t be too far behind ☺️

@Chh87 not sure what cycle I'm on, came off pill in January, had my first bleed in February, but spent March & April not 'officially' trying ...

What cycle does that make me on lol? Averaging a 28 day cycle? 🤷‍♀️

I've just ordered some FRER to be delivered tomorrow.. whoopsie.
If AF comes then at least I have them ready for next time x

@Robbo93 cycle 4 for me, what about I’m you? Are you feeling okay? Fingers crossed for you soon.

@Savvysaz @mrssunshinexxx thank you both. I have been feeling nauseous so I’m glad it’s not all in my head!

@SweetChillis thanks! Fingers crossed for you this month!

@Chh87 congratulations!!!! Really pleased to see another BFP

I've decided to wait until the weekend to test....unless I get implantation bleed in which case I will whip that test right out!

Sunburnt nipples has turned into throbbing boobs today. If this doesn't end in a BFP Mother Nature is playing a cruel game with me with cycle!

Congrats @Chh87 you must feel so so happy !

I have been feeling really faint yesterday and today (I am anaemic) but just wondering if there could be a link here

Congratulations @Chh87

Hahaha @Robbo93 I just did the same thing was too tempted after all the luck! Was bfn but not surprised really!

Have been feeling queasy all day but think that’s just in my head - just going to wait until Friday now and see if af comes

What cycle is it @Chh87? I'm TTC#1 too!

I've just took an IC and it was a BFN. Granted it's only 9DPO, and it was an hour hold of urine so not best condition to test in... but no doubt AF will show now I've done a test
Still got my pink spotting, TMI but turns more red when I poop, then goes back to nothing or pink?!?!

@mumofbun @Treaclepie19 @Tamalama @Robbo93 thanks ladies - still in a bit of shock, this is my first bfp ttc #1, keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
