May Bus

@Noble89 @KRK05 @SmileyT well i've just tested this morning as I couldn't resist anymore and got a glaringly obvious BFN i've looked at my app and it seems i'm actually 10dpo today not yesterday, so I was thinking I was 1 day ahead. Hoping it was maybe too early to test but deep down feel like i'm out!

@KateColx oooh not long for you until you can test then! Have you done any early ones? Last time I was TTC I was a nightmare for testing too early. I shudder to think how much I spent on wasted tests so I'm determined not to do that this time.

I always get the pack of 20 as I do think you could run out with only 10. I started testing on CD8 and got my flashing smiley CD11. From CD12 I've been testing twice per day as the LH surge can be missed only testing once per day. I got my static with my evening test yesterday so I've used more than 10 sticks this cycle as that was CD15. I actually got a pack of 40 on offer for the same price as the 20 in boots so I'd actually have enough left for next month too and you can use the same holder.

I'm on CD16 now. My cycles were always 28 days before my MC but the last two have been 33. Looks like this one is gonna be 29 so they're coming back down. Ovulation should be today at some point and I'll hold off testing until at least the weekend of the 16th/17th. I'd love to say I'll wait till AF is due but I know I won't 😂.

@KRK05 not long for you to wait now then! Definitely do the 20 pack as I said.. hopefully you won't need any though!

@SmileyT my app has updated now I've put ovulation in and AF is also showing as 18/5 for me now. You've got more willpower then me as I'll definitely test before AF is due. I'm just going to make sure I don't test stupidly early. A couple days before AF with a FRER should be positive if I've gotten lucky this month.

@SarahTTCx it's so hard to wait but honestly I'd say try your best. I spent a fortune on tests last time that were completely wasted. I think I got 2 negative FRERs before my BFP last time as I was just testing too early. I've decided I'm going to give my partner the tests with strict instructions to hide them and not tell me where and I'm going to have a wee as soon as I wake up as I know early on testing with anything other than FMU will be a waste of time.

@SarahTTCx Sorry meant to tag u alongside SmileyT in that post ... I think it's good to hold out until AF though I'm gonna take that approach for next cycle x

@Aaj04 Ahh no 😔😔 I think AF on her way for me too!

@SmileyT I only tested cause I thought if I get a BFN will maybe be able to stop thinking about it for a few days before AF & chill out a bit instead of wondering 🙈 the TWW feels more like 2 months, before TTC used to feel like my AF was constant just flying in month to month now it's a drag!

@KRK05 yeah that's what I thought about buying the one with more strips rather than having to order a new holder each cycle.

Fingers crossed you get your BFP @SarahTTCx I'm only 1dpo but already just want something to happen 😂 I'm pretty regular so I've decided to wait until 2 days late to do any testing because I can't face the disappointment of a negative test but this is only my first full cycle ttc so we'll see how long this lasts 🙈

@KRK05 ah no, fingers crossed you get your BFP when you test again! I've honestly gotten to the point where i'd rather wait and see AF than feel the disappointment of a BFN staring back at me... but at time same time i'm desperate to test! The tww is just too long!

@KRK05 I just got a lot of yellow CM (tmi sorry) and that means AF on her way 😭😭

@KateColx we're trying for baby #2 we have a handsome little man turning two tomorrow! So that's something exciting to look forward to.

Yes! Same, I never really paid this much attention to AF symptoms so everything just felt new 😂 but my boobs are definitely much more painful than usual and I don't know if that's just AF being weird this month.

Omg yes so glad I found MN, OH does not understand how painful the TWW is 😂 xx

@SmileyT Actually saves money buying the one with the more test strips cause u cant buy them seperate so can use for more cycles. I cant rule anything out yet until AF arrives but feel hopeful for next cycle with CB 🥰

@SarahTTCx I tested yesterday but was BFN so not gonna test again now cause put me off so will hold out until AF due on Thursday. It really is so tough! 😒 X

Anybody else having to fight the urge to test early? I'm 10dpo with 3/4 days until AF is due to rear her ugly head and i'm DYING to test but also terrified to get another BFN! This is so tough isn't it?!

Yay to static smile @Noble89 maybe your body was just waiting for your house guest to leave before you ovulated 🥳

CD15 here - 1dpo - AF due 18th - Test 20th?

@KateColx @KRK05 I used 6 sticks with my CB and the holder came with 25 so will last me a few cycles but I guess it depends when you ovulate xx

@Aaj04 Sorry to hear u didnt get those 2 lines today, may just be testing too early though or implanted late so not enough hcg to detect yet, still got my fingers crossed for u 🤞🏻

@KateColx Yeah I'm getting impatient now this TWW is a killer 😂 I just want a BFP or AF to arrive so I know 🤷🏼‍♀️ ... what is normal anymore? 🙄 I 100000% do the same too, constantly browsing online at baby stuff I think I've picked half the big things I want already for when we do eventually get our BFP 🙏🏼

@Noble89 Great u got your static smiley 🙌🏼 will be peace of mind everything is getting back to normal for u now. I'm due AF on Thursday the 7th I'm always 28 day cycle. What about u? I was gonna ask about CB too, I'm gonna order the 20 test pack rather than the 10 as that doesnt seem enough? 🤨 for all I know could ovulate late in my cycle x

@Noble89 yaayyyy to the static smiley!! Enjoy the fun bit before you drive yourself mad with us 😂 with the Cb tests do you get enough in one pack for the month testing? Could you get to a point where you'd run out of tests before you get your static?

I'm CD23, 11DPO and AF due on Friday 😬 my cycles are generally 27/28 days. Although I do wonder if I actually ovulated later this month due to a few different things, only use an app so going to get some CB tests if this week doesn't bring a BFP x

Hi Guys,

Finally got my statistic smiley!!! Feeling very relieved as I didn't even know if I was going to ovulate this cycle after my hormone levels being all over due to the molar.

Now for a few days of fun before I join in the symptom spotting 😂.

@Adrianoska congratulations! Hopefully you'll start a string of BFPs over the next couple of weeks.

Where is everyone in their cycle/how long is your cycle? Might be good to get an idea where everyone is and when they'll be testing to see if we've got any cycle twins at the same stage to get us through the next few weeks!

@Aaj04 sorry, the message below was meant for you not @KRK05 x

@KRK05 oh yeah we're super similar! Second cycle for us too, and yes for our first. Is this your first?

I thought I had lots of symptoms this month too, but I now just wonder if they were maybe ovulation or early AF. What symptoms have you been having?

Ah I know, I really thought I'd be able to be laid back about it all and take it as it comes but I've become obsessed already 😂 glad I've got MN to talk to you guys otherwise I'd be driving my OH insane! X

@KateColx this is my second cycle TTC! Had unusual symptoms so I thought this might be it but loosing hopes now. I know its still early but yeah let's see...

Are you trying for first baby? I hope we get bfps soon this is so frustrating

@KRK05 ah yeah you really could be pregnant and thinking it's not your month! I hope we get BFP soon even just to stop this guessing process monthly haha.

Sunday afternoon naps are the best 🙌🏻 just scrolling through my insta and saw a girl with such a nice pram and saved it for future use, is this normal or am I fully starting to lose it?! 😂🙈 x

@Aaj04 you're very similar to me, I'm 12 DPO today, with AF due on Friday. I tried FRER this morning and had BFN too. Have you been TTC for long? X

Well I just tested again with FR and still a BFN. 11 DPO today. I think I'm just gonna sit back and relax for a few days now and wait for AF to show up (I say that but I always endup testing again). Don't feel like this is going to my month.

Hows it going for everyone else?

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy to hear and hoping the rest goes perfectly fine too ❤❤

@KateColx So so true! I had no symptoms with my son atall. I feel like I've written off this month too but not over until AF arrives, we got this! Only 4 more days 😊

We spent most of the day in the garden & then I treated myself to a nap too it's a Sunday after all 🤷🏼‍♀️

Congratulations again 💜💜 upload a picture so we can see, first positive of the May bus how exciting 🥰

🎊POSITIVE FRER 🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️
I had symptoms at 5dpo (really, I mean it, painful boobs and back), had cramps at 8dpo and white creamy cm.

This month I was drinking Proceive Max as I am 36. I was also taking baby aspirin whenever i remembered.

Don't give up girls! I was losing faith and now I am so happy 🎉

@KRK05 And then to make it a little bit worse, some people can be pregnant and get no symptoms at all 😂 so I always have that in the back of my mind too. I feel like I've written this month off, but fingers crossed it'll prove me wrong.

@Ltay2 @KRK05 I think that's definitely something we can all take from this month, we'll know what we've noticed this month and maybe not overthink it as much. Orrr we'll all be just as crazy with it 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Feeling so tired today, done a 6k walk with the dog this morning and now back on the sofa ready for more Netflix 🙌🏻 might treat myself to a nap haha. X

@Ltay2 I feel the same I will still look back at this cycle as positive cause I've learnt so much & next cycle I will be better prepared as il know ovulation so will give us more of a chance 🙏🏼💕
