May Bus

@KRK05 ah thank you lovely 🥰 I'm just reminding myself that nothing 'should' be showing yet anyway, trying not to let it get me down. Definitely going to wait out for Sunday now, keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

Haha that's a good tactic, I need to do that tomorrow morning so I'm not tempted!! Honestly I do think having the tests in the house is such a temptation 🙈 especially when there's always a story somewhere about someone testing positive 5 mins after DTD or something haha.

Have you had any signs or anything? Will 2 days be when AF is due or when you can test early? Sorry if you've already said, I'm a nightmare for keeping track on here 😂 x

@KateColx I'm sorry to hear there was no line today, will be frustrating after yesterday! Definitely try & hold off until Sunday & I pray u have a stronger line 🙏🏼

I was so tempted to test today (only because there now I'm in my house) but I know it wouldve been pointless so I left it, I cant do a 4 hour hold with no drinks during day so I quickly hurried to get rid of my FMU this morning so I knew I couldn't test today 😂 2 more days to go! Although I really dont know why I'm testing early cause I doubt this is my month, I think curiosity getting better of me 🤦🏼‍♀️

@rosiepicks with ovulation confirmed 14 days ago I'd expect a BFP on a HPT by now but you may have had late implantation so fingers crossed as the high bbt looks promising. I've only temped half a month but my temp didn't drop until after AF had started but I think it's different for everyone 🤞

@rosiepicks Sorry I am also really bad at charts as I don't really look at mine! Has AF been this late before?

@KateColx Hopefully! Although trying to not think too much into it as I haven't really taken note of how early my AF pain usually shows up so could well just be that.

Oh it's so horrible not being able to sleep properly isn't it! Even though I slept quite well last night and the night before I have still been feeling really tired within an hour of waking up!

I am going to try my best to hold on to test on Tuesday. Curiosity may get the better of me and I may test on Saturday, although I know it's still too early.

@Ltay2 sounds like they could be promising! It's hard not to read too much into everything but if they're not similar to what you would normally get before AF and don't fit timings wise, fingers crossed they're an early sign 🤞🏻 I've had similar pains for a few days now. My sleep has been awful too, it's taken me hours to get off each night 😩 are you still planning to test Tuesday?

@rosiepicks sorry I'm useless with charts and temping but your symptoms sound promising. When would AF be due? X

@carsmith @BabyG123 thank you!!

Sorry, can I jump on the thread? Totally at my wits end 😕

Could anyone give me advice on my bbt chart? Ovulation confirmed via bloods. Came back at 21 at doctor said anything above 16 confirms ovulation.
I'm currently 14dpo. Bfn on frer with fmu. GUTTED!
Symptom wise - cramps, on and off. Sore nipples for about a week now! Needing the loo a lot last night but when I got there, I didn't pass a lot of urine.
Last months chart I declined at 11dpo and AF showed her face at 14dpo. My temps are the highest they've ever been this morning. Any advice?

Good morning!

I had some AF type cramps yesterday evening that have carried on all night. Strange as it's still a week to go and whilst I do usually get cramps a few days before they aren't usually quite as strong so early on. Also they were more of a constant low down ache rather than in waves of intensity like my AF pain is normally.

Will see how today goes and try not the symptom spot, no bleeding of any kind at the moment which I also normally do have a bit of spotting if I have early AF pain although again not usually so early on.

No other news to report! I've had 2 nights of a lot better sleep, sleeping soundly most of the night and having very clear dreams so that's the only other difference to a few nights ago when I was struggling to stay asleep for more than 2 hours at a time!

@1izzie I used the premom app which links to the tests I bought easy@home but it may work with yours 🤷🏻‍♀️

@1izzie I wrote the message on laptop and then quickly uploaded the picture from phone on to here. Fond it easier to attach a pic direct from mob instead of uploading to laptop and doing it that way. Maybe some of the others might be able to help? :)

Morning everyone,

Happy Friday!!

Done another FRER test this morning (there's no stopping me now 😂) and there was no line ☹️ technically I shouldn't even be testing until Sunday so I'm not trying not to worry.

I had really light spotting on Wednesday and I'm still getting lots of twinges and light cramping type feelings, so keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that's its hopeful and not just wishful thinking.

Sending lots of baby dust ✨ to everyone making the most of the weekend to BD 🥰

@carsmith sorry to butt in! What app do you use where you upload a picture of the opk? I'm struggling to see a peak in mine and just wanted to be sure!

@KRK05 Yes that's right, due 7th May. I am doing ok in holding off at the moment, desperate to test but know it's too early so it's pointless even trying. I'm going to aim for testing on Tuesday, my tests would be Monday too but I would rather wait until OH is back at work on Tuesday and do it on my own for the first time! If I get desperate I will give it a go on Saturday but again still pointless and it wouldn't show anything.

@Blossom93 I know I couldn't believe it, I half expected them to be late also 🤦🏼‍♀️ well earliest I can test is Saturday which is 6 days before, as u have to include day AF due in that so I'm gonna try hold off until Monday so 4 days earlier. I'm honestly not hopeful for this cycle it's our first month TTC but will take it as a 'practice run' & do OPKs for next cycle! So I think if I get a BFN I will be disappointed but not as disappointed as if I'd had symptoms or felt like I was pregnant. Your symptoms sound very promising though 🤞🏻 when is your AF due again? Sorry if you've already says 😂

@Ltay2 Your AF due same as me the 7th is that right? How u managing holding off testing, Saturday earliest I can test but I'm gonna hold off until Monday so 4 days before.

@Blossom93 I am exactly the same as you with testing days! Although if I can't help myself may do one on Saturday just to see if anything happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

@KRK05 oh god, I would’ve thought they’d have more chance of being late than this early, how typical! You’ll have to get your OH to hide them for you 😹 Sending you some willpower haha.

I’ve had cramps and twinges in my lower stomach, a bit of lower back ache, CM is still the same as ovulation and I woke up this morning with super sensitive nipples, sorry TMI 😹. Been feeling fatigued as well but I’m trying not to dwell on it all as it could be nothing (easier said than done). I guess the earliest I can test with a FRER is on Monday but will try and hold out until next Thursday 🤞🏻

@babyG123 amazing!! Thank you so much :)

@carsmith they're different tests but thought I'd upload how bright they get when high/ at the peak. From the picture yours doesn't look there yet quite yet. Good luck!!! 👶🏼🙌🏽

Hi! Having a really quick catch up, I will miss people and I'm really sorry about that!

@RiverRoo welcome! And so sorry to hear about your miscarriage - they are sucky fingers crossed for you going forward!

@DKDK123 really hoping for a BFP for you on the May bus - and still stick around on here as everyone is bloody lovely!!

@KateColx fingers crossed for you! @Panda789 fantastic news!

I received my OPK's through the post today and did the first one this afternoon. So I am CD9 and had a very faint line. According to NaturalCycles my OV date is anytime between CD 18 and CD 21. So question is (and excuse me as I'm so new to this whole LH testing) is seeing a faint line on CD 9 normal or does that mean that OV is a bit sooner than originally thought? I will keep testing every day anyway as I know they will get darker. Any help welcome. (I'll upload pic in a min)

@KateColx I usually do get cramps before AF a few days before so nothing too out of the ordinary happening here!

@Ltay2 you never know, any feelings you're not used to could be something ☺️ do you normally get any signs before AF? X

@SmileyT Feeling okay thanks lovely, I think I'm waiting to try another test at the weekend before I believe it. Still had sort of cramping feelings all day, not sure if that's a good sign or not.

You'll have to let us know! It sounds like the best way to cover all bases, just not sure if OH would like it or not 😂 x

I've been getting the odd twinge of stabbing/pinching cramps on my left side this afternoon although it feels too high up to be anything significant. Still very doubtful this is my month.. holding out until Saturday!
