May Bus

@KateColx I had a little play about with Flo & I had 2 dates I 'think' I couldve ovulated as I tried symptom spot & one would make me late for AF & one would make AF due Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️ but u make a good point my AF is always 28 days, theres been times when come 1 or 2 days early but never late (not that I can remember anyway so if it has it hasnt been significant enough to remember it) so interesting about the luteal phase I never even thought about that 🤔

@KRK05 well this is what I was trying to work out but without much luck 😂

I always have regular 27/28 day cycles, never early or late so if I did ovulate late this month would it push AF back (which as far as I can tell has never happened before) or would it just mean I have a 'short luteal phase' (Learnt that on MN haha) and I've never realised before? I've definitely had spotting mid cycle before which I've googled and put down to ovulation, so if my spotting last Wednesday was the same thing, it would only give like a week from ovulation to AF 🤯 do you always have regular cycles?

Glad there's been no more signs of AF for you though, especially if you normally have a week of it. Could be a good sign! 🤞🏻

Oh no I definitely didn't either 🤣🤣 we're so funny. I got some cheapy ones coming tomorrow! I have zero willpower x

Just catching up from last night, hope everyone is well today 💕

@Noble89 Sorry that your feeling rubbish today, hope the antibiotics sort u out. At least your in the TWW now so can have a little break from DTD.

@SmileyT So your due your AF today? Oh wow I hope she stays away & that's u got your BFP 🤞🏻 I totally agree with no actual pregnancy symptoms until implantation, I think il be one who has no symptoms cause I've not had any with any of my pregnancys 🤷🏼‍♀️

@KateColx I'm the same as u, no test today as I have none, yay🙄😂 I was thinking if we ovulated later than our apps predicted does that not move our AF due date to later? I'm just wondering cause I always have run up of like a week of AF pains before she hits me in the face but since yesterday had nothing & feel surprisingly good. Did u manage to stay away from amazon prime? I didnt but they come Thursday so if AF is indeed here il just put them away for next cycle so I dont waste them 🙈

@KateColx thanks, defo keeping fingers crossed! Yeah, i'm going to try and at least wait until Thursday if AF doesn't show, as I want to make sure i'm giving a chance for the hCG to be strong enough to detect! Just gotta keep fingers crossed AF stays away! I've just ordered a bulk of cheapy tests from amazon which are due tomorrow so I can take those first before using my FR!

@Noble89 pleased you can curl up on the sofa, fingers crossed you'll be feeling better after today ☺️ haha god its the worst isn't it! Even if it ends in AF I'll be pleased for it to just be over 🤣 started getting slight AF feeling cramps, so I think she might be along soon 🙄 I'll have a look into the seven seas vitamins! X

@SarahTTCx exciting that there's no sign of AF just yet, everything crossed that it stays away for you 🤞🏻 are you going to see how the next couple of days go before testing again? X

@Ltay2 oh I'd never heard that about vitamin C! It's so frustrating because I think you can find pros and cons to anything when you look into it, hard to know what's best. X

@Noble89 me too! I totally feel your pain, this was my 2nd in 5 months of ttc! It's definitely not ideal! Men definitely don't get it do they! I'm sick of hearing my OH say "just don't symptom spot then you won't get your hopes up" about TTC... I wish it was that easy haha! I said i'd like to see you try having your body giving you a million different feelings and pains and see if you could "just not symptom spot"

@SarahTTCx thank you 😊. Unfortunately I suffer with them quite a lot and lots of sex is definitely a trigger which is not ideal when TTC 😂. Men don't know how lucky they are, being a girl is rubbish!

@Noble89 thank you!!

Sorry to hear you're unwell! I had a UTI which started the day after ovulation and it was a persistent one! Luckily I got antibiotics pretty quick from the doc and i've been drinking 4L of water a day and it's finally gone! It threw me off a bit as I didn't know whether certain things were symptoms of possible preg of were caused by my water infection which is annoying! Our body's certainly do like to push us! Hope you're feeling better soon! X

@KateColx docs just rang and my antibiotics are ready so hopefully I'll be on the mend in no time! I am indeed, I'm in my PJs laid out on the sofa with a hot water bottle. The dog knows I'm not well and is curled up by my side so I'm happy 😊.

I'm on day 1 of the TWW and I'd forgotten how hideously slow the time passes. I feel like they need to come up with a day 1 pregnancy test 😂.

@Ltay2 oh I didn't know that about the vitamin C. I took pregnacare the first two months TTC last time then switched to seven seas after a recommendation from a friend and got pregnant first month on those so give em a try!

@SarahTTCx oh good luck lovely! Hope the old witch stays away and you get your BFP soon

@Ltay2 i'm still weirdly positive after my BFN yesterday too! I'm due AF today, i'm cd28 and usually my cycles are 25-28 days, no longer. I had AF cramps for a few hours yesterday lunch time but no sign of spotting or AF (I always get spotting the day before I get full AF) and no cramps today. Obviously, there is still chance for her to show her face this afternoon or maybe i'll have a longer cycle this month, but it feels positive all the same!

Fingers crossed for you, sending lots of baby dust!!! X

I have just been doing some research around vitamins and now I'm really worried I have been ruining my chances. I have been taking 1000mg vitamin c per day for about a month and a half now as I initially read that it was a good one to take in possible prevention of COVID-19 as it had been used in treatment processes. However I have now just read that high levels of vitamin c are also good to prevent pregnancy/implantation as it can make the uterus 'uninviting' to a fertilised egg 🙄 definitely going to stop taking it now either way as I've ordered some TTC-advisable supplements which also contain a small dose of vitamin c so don't want to be taking huge amounts but how annoying!! Glad I found out now though and not 6 months down the line 🤦🏼‍♀️

Morning guys ✨

@Noble89 oh no I hope you start to feel better once you get the antibiotics this morning. Feeling poorly is bad enough but when it leads to no sleep it makes everything worse 😩 are you still working or working from home? If from home, get yourself back into bed with your laptop ☺️ x

On to day 371 of the TWW 🤣 how's everyone feeling? I'm still feeling bloated and keep having hot flushes, both which could be for AF 🤷🏼‍♀️ only 3 days left to wait and see, but it was quite nice to wake up and not test today (even if it's because I've ran out of tests, not willpower) 😂 x

@SmileyT thank you. I feel like shit today and have been up and in the bath before 6am two days in a row now so I'm over this and would like to feel better.

Yeah I always think if you're TTC then you're testing literally within days of implantation so the hormones just can't get high enough to show very obvious symptoms and annoyingly pregnancy symptoms are basically the same as PMS symptoms.

My enthusiasm for work today is zero. I want alllll the drugs and to go back to bed.

@Noble89 bless ya, really do hope you get these antibiotics and they kick in straight away, feeling crappy during the TWW is not what you need.

I'm with you on symptoms, apparently there is no hormonal differences in our bodies until pregnancy starts at implantation which could be 9-10dpo so our bodies only have about 4 days before a missed period to react to it. With my last pg because I wasn't ttc my signs were my rhr sky rocketed on my Fitbit, my period was late and we were on holiday and my afternoon naps were about 3hrs long every day but still felt tired afterwards 😂

@SmileyT I've been up since 5am and feel rotten so I might actually kick the GPs door in when it opens 😂.

Despite all this I'm still feeling very positive about TTC! I'll be symptom spotting like crazy over the next two weeks but really the only thing I noticed last time is that I was super tired but I don't think that came until later and the molar pregnancy causes higher than normal levels of HCG so it's like pregnancy on crack but it still wasn't that bad for me other than being insanely tired. I figure if the stupidly high levels only made me tired I might barely notice normal levels. My Mam said she would never have known she was pregnant with me or my siblings if she didn't have a bump so I wonder if I'll be the same 🤷.

@babymaybeeee welcome and sorry to hear about your loss. The symptom spotting is a nightmare isn't it? I'd never noticed that I get sensitive nipples before AF in my life and then last time I TTC I was convinced I was pregnant month 1 when I noticed them. I wasn't and I've since figured out I get them every month. But then I still had it the month I got my BFP too so clearly it can be a sign. You'll be testing just a few days before me so hopefully a couple of BFPs coming our way. Are you using OPKs or just an app?

I'm gonna add I'm not hopeful for this month as my flow app said my ovulation was on the 28th but I only dtd on the 25th and 26th and then 2nd and 3rd but still not out yet so not getting my hopes up but still in the game I guess!

Jumping on the may bus too! Testing on the 14th of may after our miscarriage April 23rd 2019, currently 7dpo, very sore nipples - hopefully it's a sign but I think it might just be something that happens to people at this time of their cycle maybe x

@BabyG123 fingers crossed for a quick week ahead and your patience being rewarded with a BFP x

@Noble89 yes get those antibiotics as early as possible tomorrow and get yourself sorted for tomorrow night. Our bodies really do test us don't they!? I've been on the fertility meditation today, trying to get into the mindset of 'by the end of next week I'll know whether this is my month and if it's not my month then getting ready for a valentines baby is just as much fun'

Having said that I'm already dreading a long weekend at home being 8dpo and wondering whether a little bean is currently implanting 😬

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get some antibiotics tomorrow but in the meantime I've sent DP for some cranberry juice.

@SmileyT I do sometimes get like the start of symptoms if we've had a lot of sex but usually tanking water for a few hours sorts it out. No such luck today though and I'm feeling pretty rotten now. The good thing is the antibiotics work super quick so hopefully if I can pick them up tomorrow morning I'll be feeling better by the evening. I'm not letting it get in the way of the 2 most important days TTC though!

I'm literally in day one of the TWW and I'm over it already 😂. I'd forgotten what a blag it is. Roll on next Sunday!

@SmileyT I'm finding my inner strength to get to friday it if not Saturday.

It'll most likely be a 2am pee as that's my
Bladders wake up time 🤣 gonna be wide awake after!

@Noble89 I actually googled UTIs yesterday as I kept feeling the need to go to the toilet but not a lot came out when I got there, but seems to have resolved itself now, think my body is grateful for the 24hrs without lubed up sex 😂 Hope tonight isn't too much of an effort and you start to feel a bit better.

@Ltay2 Honestly I think it's best to stay positive, no point counting yourself out before you need to 🤞

@KateColx thanks lovely... tbh I think every cycle will be a learning curve. I've already been watching videos on YouTube about what supplements I should take next month. I'm actually not feeling negative about this month but I've checked what my due date would be if I conceived next month and it would be 21/02/21 which I think is a cool date. Just having little positives if this isn't my month so it's not all doom and gloom.

@BabyG123 when do you plan to test? You going to wait until Friday? Signs definitely look promising and if it's morning sickness that is caused by hcg in early pg so means it's already in your system 🤗

@KRK05 I am still weirdly positive 🙈

@KRK05 @KateColx

10dpo today AF is due Friday by the app I used with the ovulation sticks but due Wednesday on another app.

@babyG123 Your symptoms sound so promising, I'm excited to see if it leads to a BFP for u 🤞🏻 when is your AF due? Well done staying away from the testing!

@KateColx Me too I've told myself all day no Amazon prime 🙈 I am definitely holding out until Thursday now & I'm positive AF gonna turn up probably before then anyway.

@Ltay2 Sorry u got BFN today but couldve been as 45 minute hold so still stay positive.

@Noble89 Cranberry juice defo it's what doctors always say too. Although if your like me I HATE cranberry juice 🙈 love how your still powering on DTD tonight, u go girl!! 😂
