Toot toot May Bus

Thank you @Adrianoska that's really helpful. I can't decide if I should stop taking pregnecare until after ovulation has happened or if I should continue... I'm on CD 16 with ovulation predicted next week. I don't know if it will make any difference now...

I've got so broody recently. Since we had out early loss at the beginning of January it's just made me want it so so so much more. I just want to help in any way I can. And long cycles are a pain because you have to wait so long between each cycle to try... Xx

Pregnecare conception is safe in pregnancy too so I know it won't go to waste as it can be taken once there's a bun in the oven I'm just not sure what to do for the rest of my cycle / future cycles...

@Karanciri hello! 🌸Good luck for this month, hope wa all get lucky ♥️

@Sausage1990, I had 28 days cycles all my life. Then 7 months ago I had mc (accidental pregnancy, we didn't TTC) and after that I took a mini pill for a month or so before realising that we both want a baby so much. So I stopped. My period webt to 28 days. Then I got pregnacare conception and my cycle went to 35 days! I was convinced I am pregnant. So I did some research and realised that many women suffered extended cycles from taking it. I took it for another month and the same long cycle happened. I stopped and moved on to proceive max and my cycle went down to 23 days! Wtf. This month I was taking pregnacare conception only some days and my cycle was 25 days. I bought more proceive max and I think I will drink that before ovulation and move to pregnacare after ovulation till af of BFP.

Good luck my lovely 🌸

I’m only taking folic acid. & gin!

I'm so impatient I am on cycle day three and I'm like OK I know what happens now let's get to the good part🤣

Can I join, my AF came yesterday, we are on month 3!

@Adrianoska sorry to hear it . AF arrived for me today so I am definitely on this May bus. Fingers crossed for everyone!

@Adrianoska I’m 31! I’ve got 2 children as well :)

@Skyla01 thank you! I can’t actually count my cycle days yet as I’m still just spotting. So still not on CD1. I’m with you on regularly and mostly when EWCM is around!

@Sausage1990 so sorry I haven’t any experience with pregnacare but have heard lots of stories where cycles are longer!

@Adrianoska could you tell me more about your experience with pregnecare preconception making your cycles longer? I've had longwe cycles since Ive started taking it but didn't realise until recently having reflected on it... Did they go back to being shorter once you stopped? How long did it take for your cycle to normalise again?

I've just come to the end of a pack and. It sure if I should keep taking them if its not helping my cycle length... Which used to be 32-35 days and is currently 38-44days.

Any experiences & thoughts from others are very welcome xx

@Littlepeas2 how frustrating to have a long cycle like that! Hope you are back to normal this time. I'm also not tracking this time, just going to dtd regularly and esp once I get ewcm.

@Adrianoska lol, let us know if it works ;)

Has anyone tried drinking raspberry leaf tea? Might give it a try if it isn't too expensive...

@minster2012 cycle day 1 will start when your period comes properly x

🤞🏻🤞🏻@Aimy1

For my Easter present my AF has just arrived, I’ve wiped blood not made it to knickers does that count as CD1?

Hi guys,
Joining you from the April bus. AF arrived yesterday . If I conceive this month, I'll likely be due on my youngest's birthday 😂

Well I have just come out of my fertile window. Period due in 11 days. I'm so hoping this is my month. I had a chemical last month so I'm going to try super hard to not test until after my period is late! X

@Littlepeas2 👋🏻 I forgot if you mentioned before, how old are you?
Ahhh....
Regarding cm... I find it difficult to observe if we bd every day as sperm changes everything, no?
I am determined to start temping, I just keep forgetting every morning. Ha!

@Minster2019 I don't like the sound of it! 🤢🤣🤣🤣 I just have a very little choice. And... It might work. Hahaha. In fact I would eat bird crap if I knew it would help me get pregnant, I am pretty desperate by now! Grrr

Bird poo @Adrianoska I’m not sure I like the sound of that!! I’ll leave that one to you, I will stick to the

Hi ladies 👋🏻 thank you so much for sharing all your stories. It's so good to know everyone's journeys.

I've personally found learning about my cervical mucus changes so so helpful in understanding my fertile window. In our 1st cycle in which we conceived i didn't track anything, just notes the cm changes & DTD during the ewcm stage... The last 2 cycles I used opks and no joy. So this cycle while I am doing opk test it is only to confirm what I suspect going by my cm changes.
I'm with you @littlepeas2 I don't want to get too stressed about it.

Mather nature has a plan and what will be will be xx

Hi ladies!
Hopping on. I’m cycle 3. I normally have a 34 day cycle and this month I had a 47 day cycle!! I have been unwell (not covid-19 related!) so I’m pretty sure I had delayed ovulation. Really hoping now I’m better that my cycle will go back to normal!! I don’t really track anything other than CM as I’m trying really hard not to get obsessed!
Sending everyone lots of baby dust this month!!

@Minster2012 🤣 yes! I read a few studies that sex after conception and before implantation is detrimental. They are not sure why, it might be orgasm or the impact or the sperm itself. But one study said people who have sex during this time have 20%less chances of successful pregnancy. I don't know! I broke this rules every time 🤣. Omg this time I try and do everything else but sex. Hahaha

Honestly I am too desperate by now.

My husband is Egyptian. His mother told him today that he needs to prepare some things (like bird poo) that burn and I need to breathe the smoke in 7 times a day for one day 🤢. I will let you know girls, if it works, I will post the method 😉

@Adrianoska Amazing list 😂 fingers crossed this is your cycle 🤞

@Minster2012 I’d recommend googling SMEP and looking on the website - they explain it step by step each day 🙂

👋 I’m hopping on too. Hopefully I’ll qualify for this bus if I don’t have a stupidly long cycle (I’m irregular). Been “not not trying” since December which has been all of 2 cycles. After my first long cycle realised its going to be harder than we thought so I’ve ramped it up a bit by using opks and bbt tracking and a bit of concieve plus on the side for good measure 😉

@Adrianoska you have me in giggles with your list 🤣 Hope this is your cycle 🤞Don’t lose that faith!! Xx

Cool thank you I’m still learning 👌🏻@popcorndiva
