May Bus

I am so eager to test myself! So utterly pointless at the moment as my tests are only 4 day early ones and it's currently 8 days early 😂

@KateColx I can definitely see something too!!

Congratulations @KateColx that's defiantly a line! X

@KateColx I can see it! Don't know what b&w does to it but there's def something there in that photo 🤗

@KateColx if you can see it that’s what matters! Fingers crossed it is the first sign of something very exciting.

@Spinningthewheel haha I promise I can see it in real life, it's really faint and I can't seem to get it to show on a normal photo ☺️ this will serve me right for testing too early 😂 x

@KateColx there’s definitely A LINE, I’m too inexpert to know what it means if you can only see it in b&w, but looks hopeful!

Told myself I wouldn't get carried away TTC and yet here I am changing the filter on a photo of a pregnancy test 😂🙈 I've uploaded one in B&W, it's the only way it seems to show on camera. Please tell me I'm not losing it 😂🤪 x

Hi all, can I join too? I’m in a similar place to you @Amy00 - withdrawal bleed started today so first month ttc #1. I like to think there is still some chance even if cycles will might be a bit wonky for a while. Trying not to get too excited as don’t want all my enthusiasm to burn out in the first month, but I’m basically obsessed already.
I’ve learnt loads reading these threads so thanks everyone.

Welcome @Amy00, completely agree with @Ltay2, just being on these boards has been so so helpful for me. So hopefully they help you too, it's just nice to speak to people who are going through the same things 🥰

@SmileyT I've been trying to get a good photo all morning but it doesn't seem to show up 😩 I feel like a nutter trying to get a photo of a stick in a million different lightings and positions 😂 It was definitely light pink, but super faint. I feel like it's not as strong now, so maybe it was an evap. Or I've just been staring at it too much 😂🙈 if I get a good one I'll pop it on 🥰

@KRK05 aw thank you! Trying not to get my hopes up, but it feels nice to have a little bit of hope ☺️ Aw that's a definite BFP isn't it! No questioning that. I hope my next one looks more like that. Fingers crossed for you on Monday! 🥰

Omg @panda789 congrats!!!! 🎉❤️💐 Send some of your lucky baby dust our way! Did you do anything different this cycle?

Hi @Amy00 and welcome 😊

@SmileyT thank you. If I get pregnant the monitoring stops so hopefully that'll be the last one! I was quite surprised to be honest! My Flo app is based on last month's cycle which was 33 days so isn't predicting ovulation until the 8th of may which makes my fertile window the 3rd to 9th. The fact it's flashing today makes me think this is probably going to be more in line with a 28 day cycle so perhaps ovulation around the 2-4th of May. My cycles are a bit all over at the moment so frankly who knows! Now I've got my flashing smiley I'll go to testing morning and evening for the next week I think as sometimes you can miss it only testing once per day. Hopefully you'll get yours tomorrow and be pretty much on track! How long are your cycles usually?

Just catching up on the last few days: welcome to all the newbies and massive congratulations @Panda789 and @gb000! Hopefully lots more BFP’s to follow throughout May! Fingers crossed to everyone else, especially those with potential early test lines.

Only 4dpo here… AF due 8/9th May. Trying not to think too much about the 2WW (but being stuck at home there isn’t much else to do other than symptom spot, plan baby names and think of nursery ideas!)

@SmileyT I hope u get ovulation around the times your thinking 🤞🏻 great your tracking with both I will be doing that too next cycle (if I dont get lucky this one 😂)

@Panda789 Congratulations on your CB confirmation, always makes it that bit more real 💜

@KateColx Omg I really hope this is the start of your BFP, so happy for u 💜 I've ordered some First Reaponse which come Friday but I'm gonna hold off to the Monday to take one, thatl be 4 days before my AF.
This is a picture of my last First Response 6 days before my AF, it wasnt even a squinter so makes me hopeful that if I test Monday if it is negative il just wait for my AF! Can maybe relax a bit more without it being in my head 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@KateColx how exciting show us a pic 👀 I think if the line is pink it's a positive and if it's grey it might be an evap. But I always say on these threads sometimes people can just tell as it's their bodies ❤️

@carsmith ahh I'm so sorry about having to cancel your wedding, it's crazy times but having more time at home for baby making isn't a bad thing. Get loads of practice in for the honeymoon. My cycles are also around 28days so we'll be in the TWW together, what are your opks looking like at the moment?

@Noble89 ahh sorry about the bloods and the reminder of the MC - sending you lots of virtual hugs. I'm jealous of your flashy smily, I jumped out of bed this morning only to see another ⭕️ really wanted ovulation to be the 3rd as it works with OH work schedule but hey ho I'm staying positive ☺️

@Amy00 welcome to the mad world of TTC I'm also ttc #1 and find this thread a really positive addition to my journey. Hope that your cycle returns quickly and you can get out of the practice zone and into full flow of baby making ❤️

@bubblybon2020 Sorry to hear of your MC I must have missed your story before! Hoping this is a positive thread for us all!

@Amy00 It is so exciting to get started! It will be really useful for you to stay here even if you don't 'get going' in May, I've learnt so much in just a few days of joining these threads ☺️

Hi everyone, just joining this group, TTC baby #1 and this will be cycle #1 for us! I'm just coming off the pill so not really expecting this to be our month but can't help but get excited!! The websites I've read all say to finish the current pill packet, so I've got my last pill tomorrow.. then AF/ withdrawal due Sunday/Monday... then will be properly into it!

If I'm lucky and my cycle goes back to normal straightaway I'll ovulate around 24 May and AF due 3 June.. so might be on the wrong bus here but reading how supportive and lovely you all are makes me want to join in!

Good luck ladies!

Thankyou for all your kind words, here hoping BFPs, all come soon enough for us all! And @KateColx my boys are 6 & 4 (nearly 5!)

@Noble89 That does seem like a mixed bag of emotions for you today! Although like you say, exciting to get going again ☺️

@KateColx Yeah I know he will be an amazing dad, and can't wait to see his face when I finally get the BFP and tell him!

@Ltay2 aw that's nice that he's so excited for it too! My OH is really chilled about everything haha. Yeah sometimes it's just easier to keep it to ourselves to begin with ☺️ I've been reading threads on here and I'm not sure if mine is maybe an evap line as it is really faint, I'll keep hoping until the weekend x

Hi Ladies,

I'm just catching up on the thread. @Panda789 congratulations!!! I was so happy to see our first BFP of the month. Hopefully you've opened the floodgates and lots of BFPs will follow 😊.

It's CD11 for me and I got my first flashing smiley on my clear blue OPK which is exciting. I was a bit unsure as to when I'd ovulate as AF used to be like clockwork always 28 days but since my MC it's been anywhere from 28-33. Looks like maybe this will be a shorter one hopefully. Mixed bag today though, lovely to see a flashing smiley but I then had to take myself off to the doctor's for my monthly blood test I have to have as monitoring after my molar pregnancy. Feels odd to be excited about trying while still getting prodded with needles due to the miscarriage.

How's everyone feeling?

@KateColx Yeah it is nice to know more about my body in that way. Learnt more in the last week than ever! He doesn't know I have bought some, but he asks me almost every day if I 'feel pregnant yet' think he's excited haha. He's very stressed at work at the moment so don't want to add any unnecessary stress on him with worrying as much as I am about testing, especially when he won't understand it all 🤣 I will just tell him once I am semi sure of the outcome unless he asks of course then I'll tell him everything in major detail and he'll wish he never did 🤣

@KateColx Sorry and yes I have got some early detection tests. Just double checked and they say can test up to 4 days before so in that case I probably am better waiting until Tuesday.

@Ltay2 I know it's strange isn't it? I think TTC is so good for learning more about your cycles and symptoms etc though, I would never ever have noticed half the stuff I do now haha. Yeah I get that! I haven't told my OH that I've done one this morning, I don't think I will until I see what the weekend one is like. He'd probably look at the one from this morning and tell me there's nothing there 😂 does he know you've ordered some tests? X

@KateColx yep exactly like yours!! You could have been describing my symptoms it's literally the same! Haha it's ok, there is so many chats going on it's hard to keep up, I don't remember if i said either! I first tested yesterday at 12dpo ☺️ you'll be tempted to try again but maybe see if you can wait a few days.. NHS website shows due date is 8th Jan!!! X
