Toot toot May Bus

@CoronaBaby I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. I was taking it for a while, December and January and part of Feb.. Ive changed onto I think its called seven seas now.
I'm in an I between stage right now as I've been having slightly heavier than spotting type bleeding but then I had a faint positive yesterday afternoon so watch this space, will be testing again tomorrow 🤞🤞

Do you take any prenatal vits or recommend any?

Hi @Katbaby, thanks so much, I feel much more apprehensive this time round but hoping for the best! I see the pill messed with your cycle, how annoying, I’ve read some threads that pregnacare can do this too not sure If you are taking that?

Hi @CoronaBaby, welcome 😊😊 hopefully you are as lucky this time round as you were with your dd ☺️ fingers crossed this is a lucky bus

Hey everyone! Can I join the May bus? Never been on a bus before but finding life a bit lonely during this pandemic! On CD1 and going to begin to TTC baby no 2 this month, hope I have all the right lingo!
I’m 28 and conceived in the first month with my DD.

@Skyla01 nope no idea, this is my second cycle ttc and last month we started trying into my fertile week and never did get a positive OPK. So we have started BDing yesterday and daily OPK testing today at CD9.

Also started drinking grapefruit juice as I heard that helps with EWCM.

@NemoBear7 thank you! Feeling more positive today!

Can I join ☺️ AF arrived for me over night on CD30, normally a 28 day cycle so the little cow was teasing me this time 😂 #1 cycle 3. Here’s to May 💕💐

Thanks @Skyla01 I’ll have to order some. Fingers crossed it help. Have been cutting down on caffeine too if you don’t count chocolate! 😋

@Positivetime I read something on one of the TTC apps that said 3-10 days counts as normal for AF. Don’t worry, shorter doesn’t mean anything bad.

Does anyone know whether a period of 3.5 days is normal? I’ve noticed mine are getting shorter over the years. Not sure if I need to worry. Last month my period lasted like 2 days.

@Katbaby over a year now... but still optimistic that each cycle could be the one! I hope your cycle will be much shorter now. It's so frustrating though I understand.

@myhappystreak smep is a great plan to cover all bases. Do you know when you usually ovulate? I don't ovulate until cd18 or so, feels like a long wait!

@NemoBear7 I just try to be healthy with my diet. And drinking raspberry leaf tea this month. Oh and I try and avoid caffeine.

@myhappystreak my cycles are 25 days long, recently. All my life I was spot on 28...then I had a miscarriage 7 months ago, took a mini pill for two months after that... 23 /25 days! So annoying. I worry...

My first bus! Trying for #1, CD11 and this is our second month seriously trying. Started using OPKs for the first time this week too, so well see how that goes. My AF was way late last month from the normal day to day being so thrown off. At least theres a lot of time for BDing this month!

@popcorndiva Mmm, interesting. I’ll give it a try. Might need to mix it with something as it might be a bit tangy on its own.

As for OPK I think you’re supposed to test between 11am and 3pm if I remember rightly.

@Adrianoska do you have short cycles? I'm on CD8 and tonight is my first night BDing. I'm going to start OPKS tomorrow but according to Ovia I'm not ovulating for another week. I definitely missed the boat last month as we started trying late into my fertile week, so we are trying the SMEP plan this month and says to start on CD8.

Welcome to all the new girls 💖 hope all is well 😘
We all at different stages, ages and phases... But we all want the exact same thing so much 🤞❤️
It is my fith cycle of TTC. I am on cd7 today and in the fertile week. We have started the serious BD and I really pray it works this time. However, for some reason I have this overwhelming negative feeling that it is not going to happen again. When we started TTC I was so optimistic! I have two kids from my previous marriage... But I am 36 and I am starting to panic now really💖 much love to you all

Is anyone trying any new or different diets this month to help with conception? I’ve been eating a bit to much chocolate on a daily basis to help with both getting through the TWW and the isolation. Just interested to know if anyone is eating or not eating particular foods to help with the baby making? Thanks 😊

Thanks @Minster2012 you’re being so nice. Men just don’t understand in the same way.

Hey @Skyla01 yes first after pill! It's been a hard and expensive in tests 3 months. Ive done so many pregnancy tests it's driven me crazy! I naively assumed it would just drop back to normal straight away. Apologies if you've already said but how long have you been trying?

@Katbaby 116 that must have been so frustrating! Was that your first post pill cycle? It took me 6 months for cycle to be regular again. It's hard when you just want to get on with ttc!

Welcome to everyone else! We all have our moans and reasons for being here. Fingers crossed the May bus is lucky for us!

@NemoBear7 don’t be ridiculous, everyone has the same right to moan, I shouldn’t moan as I have a miracle DS whereas a lot of ppl don’t do it’s all the same honestly!! Mumsnet is our safe ranty place 😂😂

Oh I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that @Minster2012 it makes my moan about still not being pregnant feel so silly and insignificant. Fingers crossed we get our wish for May conception. That would be perfect. New year new baby. 🤞🏻😄

@NemoBear7 I’m similar but for slightly diff reasons, as with others we’ve had MMC in March so isolation would have been perfect for us to hide pregnancy, no one had noticed me not drinking going into it & yet going into it I was having a miscarriage with a 20 month old handful & my hubby rubs a construction & event toilet business so still working but most of our work is gone so he’s trying to keep our business going & super stressed & all I want to be is pregnant & have him home.

He has agreed TTC as we can’t do IVF again & it gives me a focus too (& it would be cheaper 😂) but no doubt that will be stressful too!!

I'd like to join! Think I'm on the May bus as af is threatening to arrive with full force I think I can sense her haha. After my last cycle lasted 116 days I'm hoping that my body is back to normal and I go back to my pre pill 28 day cycles 🤞 was only on the pill 18th months
