Feb Bus Pt 2

@MrsTwentyEight @Juno231 How are you two doing? Any updates?

I think I've about reached the end of my fertile window. I didn't opk and I didn't temp this morning due to waking at 4am and not really managing to go back to sleep. Usually I've ovulated by now though. Today is day 12 for me. We've been dtd though whatever, so things are covered. I'll keep doing so until I know for sure with my temp.

@Juno231 6dpo could actually be your second rise. If you are lucky!
I usually ovulate day 11 so yeah pretty much in my FW. Haven't dtd yet mind. I'll start doing opks tomorrow. Temp currently 36.31.

@MrsTwentyEight just thought I'd try it. Tried everything else!

@Juno231 ooo yes now you just need the dip for implantation right ? I know nothing about charting btw haha but good luck!!
AF due 8th I believe ....or 10th 🙈 You ?

@paintfairy ahh good!! Was that recommended for you?

@MrsTwentyEight 7DPO here! Not yet got any urges to POAS but the TWW is definitely dragging now. My chart is looking positive so far I think though? Hard to say as it's my first month charting! When is AF due for you?

@paintfairy fingers crossed the new supplements work! Will you be tracking this cycle? Am thinking FW might be around the corner for you?

@MrsTwentyEight CD7 for me. Started soya isoflavones on day 5.

@Juno231 how’re you holding up? I’m either 6 or 8dpo ....peed on a few cheapies already gahhh

@paintfairy I thought I knew when OV was happening too but my body is confusing me 😫 You must be onto new cycle ?

@Juno231 god how rude! I mean, the thing is- if you've been married since 18 and left it until now, then yes its kind of daft. But I've only been with my other half 4 years. We got married last October. Its not like I could have done it at 20. I was with someone up until 25 but I'm glad we didn't (would have been a mess) and after that I was single pretty much. So we don't all have a choice?

I'll go back and see what they say. Things are relaxing a little now I think. But being they are so quick to fob you off normally, I didn't want to go and them use the corona thing as an excuse.

AF is here anyway! So definitely not this month for me.

@MrsTwentyEight I used to get O pains and even bleeding most months. Was really easy to know when I did. Cycle still is the same but I don't get that any more hardly?

@paintfairy definitely worth getting the ball rolling with the GP I'd say! You'll be kicking yourself further down the line if you didn't explore all this properly. So frustrating to hear this many GP/gynae being useless though. I keep seeing how easy it is for women in the states (on insurance mind you) getting reproductive endocrinologist appointments and get all this fertility stuff checked out properly.

I went to the GP back in... Oct? and as part of my appointment said I'm worried about how my mum went into early menopause at the age I'm at now and are there any tests I could be doing to check for indicators? She was incredibly rude in the way she fobbed me off and essentially told me I shouldn't have waited to have kids, and I should have had them by now if I was worried. That's it. No other advice or guidance. I still get angry thinking about it.

@paintfairy try not to think that way....it will happen for you. But at the same time, I agree with thinking everything happens for a reason too....but its going to happen for you!
I agree...DTD in this heat is awful!! We stuck to first thing in the morning (TMI) ....
I swear I'm feeling "OV pains" today....or its just all in my head. LH surge static smiley happened on Tuesday so a bit weird but I read you can ovulate upto 51 hours after static smiley so who knows! I'm just going to wait and see, if not July, August, September buses here I come....

@juno231 last year I went with my LP bleeding. Nothing to do with conceiving at that point though. They did scans, day 2 bloods. Nurse said everything looked ok on exam. They referred me to gynecology who were useless and said to go back on the pill as it was hormonal. They don't appear to recognise LP issues. But did say I had a cervical erosion. So I've no idea if that is the source of the LP bleeding (they said not, but on googling hormone changes actually can cause that) or if it's coming from inside so to speak. They didn't treat it as it doesn't bother me in any other way. But you can have it frozen. Sounds less than ideal to me. Lol.
I have been trying 6 months now though so can try GP again (assuming they'll see me with this nonsense going on). Obviously my DH could of course be an issue too. He's never been checked. I somehow doubt it'll be an easy task persuading him to go mind.

@paintfairy did you ever start the process of diagnosing what's wrong and taking steps accordingly? Any meds for your potential LPD? HSG, IUI etc?

@Juno231 I dunno how anyone manages DTD in this heat! It's unbearable!

Fingers crossed for you both. @MrsTwentyEight I usually try to keep DTD past when I thought I ovulated too, just in case.

I'm feeling crampy today so pretty sure AF will show up today or tomorrow. Couldn't take my temp as I'm struggling to sleep in the heat. I think I'm slowly resigning myself to thinking it'll never happen for us. Probably just left it too late. I like to believe things happen for a reason though, if that's the case.

@mrstwentyeight hey cycle buddy! Hope we're luckier this time! I reckon it is my left ovary this cycle as the last three I've had pain on the right hand side and ovulated on CD16, but this time it's CD12/13 (depending on when I count AF as starting) and that seems to be the timeline my left side goes by :) Fx left is more fertile than right lol

Thanks @MrsTwentyEight

@paintfairy -you ain't out til she comes which hopefully doesn't happen!!

Fingers crossed for you all I really hope this cycle is a lucky one!!

This heat is killing me still it cools down tomorrow!! Xxx

@MummyBearBoo I only re read the posts properly now - massive congratulations to you by the way!!

AF due 8th July for me
So that absolute nightmare of a two week wait starts today 😭
1DPO technically today but I don’t trust my LH surge so going to DTD every other day for another few days ....this hopefully will make me forget the exact countdown!
@paintfairy I really hope it doesn’t turn up!!
@juno231 ....we are in a similar two week wait 🤞🏾

@MummyBearBoo Ovulating today so AF isn't due until the 10th. DTD is really tough for OH in this heat so not sure we'll manage to tick that box today - but we should be covered anyway hopefully.

@MrsTwentyEight I completely missed my surge anyway this month! I only knew it had happened after, with my temp.

@MummyBearBoo AF due tomorrow or Saturday for me. I'm not having a good month with my LP bleeding this month. Been happening a week already. Temp I think is going down too. So pretty much 99.9% sure AF will turn up.

When is everyone next due to test? Xx

Sorry been AWOL
@MimiArm I’m sorry :( I hope they’re able to get to the bottom of it
Hello again @MummyBearBoo ! Totally agree - much easier to be part of a smaller group
I have no idea what DPO I am as my cycles are all over the place - CD17 currently that’s all I’m sure of. Flashing smiley yesterday but who knows. Because I’ve had a static smiley but apparently not ovulated for a week after that so I guess relying on LH surge is pointless sometimes ....

They're both me I had to change my name for a bit but I've changed it back to from @BooMamaBear to what it is now xxx

@Juno231 oops 😂 too many bears.

@paintfairy ha if I went by OH's DTD schedule I'd never get pregnant. But he's agreed to do his best during FW so usually we get 3-4 goes when it counts. It's very much a chore for him though and he's always happy when FW is over!

I think you tagged a completely different bear though @MummyBearBoo

@BooMamaBear I'm glad things are going ok! Its bizarre really how some are you are where you are, and yet here we still are. Such is life! But I can't envisage it at all. Must be exciting to have others to speak to about it though.

I won't test. I'd be bankrupt if I did that every month. Plus I know the answer! Nope. Lol.
I dunno, I temp and it starts to drop a few days prior anyway, so I tend to know before AF is even due that I'm not. It's no surprise. Missed it this morning mind, as I didn't sleep well. I started spotting yesterday (very very slight) and have a bit today. Early for me, but I do usually get it. And sometimes badly. I just assume that means I'm out but I guess you never know, maybe I'd get it anyway.
@Juno231 my other half is mostly ok but there are times when it does get too much. Depends on the month? I also feel we need to do it more past the FW just in case? But usually we've lost interest by then. 😂 This month we did it before and during. And also 2 days after i supposingly ovulated, but that was it.

Ha @Juno231 -you tiring him out 😂! Fingers crossed for you xxx
