June Bus - who's on board?

Bless him @KRK05 glad he's ok! Hopefully you can start to relax now too.

Thankyou to everyone messaging back about my DS, means alot 💕 amazingly he is fine, well as fine as can be kids just have a way of getting on with things. I'm more traumatized than him, so is dad & the dog 🙈 repeatedly hes had to be told to sit still today as hes trying to jump around (obviously advised not to for a few days) sorry if TMI but was such a bad one, was able to see his skull 😭 but nothing damaged thankfully (theres a wall before skull which is intact) hes young enough that his scar will eventually fade too, but he is wrapped in cotton wool for foreseeable future now, I've not even let him walk to the toilet himself today I'm sure he will be fed up of me soon as already hes like 'I'm ok mummy dont worry' & hes only 5 🙄🙈

@watermelonwizard I'm the exact same as @Juno231 apps are thinking I'll ovulate CD14/ CD15 and then AF due weekend of the 12th June 😬 I had a MC in March after an accidental pregnancy and we were so ready for it we decided to ttc now so this is the 2nd full cycle. I'm feeling really positive this cycle and throwing everything at it would be the 1st for me and DP and I already have an amazon list of newborn essentials ready to go 😂

@Mich2020 so sorry about what you've been through... sending you lots of positive vibes and baby dust. X

@KateColx some people have a quick oestrogen and then lh surge so get less flashing Smily faces, last month I had a 27 day cycle and had 5 blank circles and straight to static. On the CB pack it says that 66% of women have between 0 and 4 so I guess the majority are somewhere in that bracket. The apps are notoriously bad for predicting ovulation if they have no previous ovulation data to use, they will generally assume a 14 day LP when in reality it could be 9-17 days so on a 28day cycle it could be CD11-CD19 but they'll just guess it'll be CD14 so don't worry about that. Last month I was panicking on CD12 with a circle but it sorted itself out x

@Juno231 it was sort of why I left it so long, we were debating maybe if it was a ‘sign’ not to have any more (we have 2 dd’s already) and the age gap was getting bigger and I’m getting older- but the urge to just have one more go was too much

It was getting past the 12 week ‘safe stage’ and then losing it that was a bit extra rubbish because I’d told the kids and close friends/family by then!

@Mich2020 hello welcome. I also had 3 faint positives last month and then AF arrived I so know how you're feeling xx

Does anyone know if constipation is a thing around ovulation?? I know it’s probably wayyyyy TMI but this is really weird for me as a couple of ladies here will know @Juno231 & @Skip86 from convos on here I’ve had major bowel surgery (illeostomy & reversal) which means I have no large bowel left which, saved my life, but means I don’t have “stools” like everyone else. I basically have diarrhoea forever managed by medication so I can go about my day. Anyways. Not today. I’ve just sat on the loo for 30mins trying to pass a bowel movement. It’s unheard of for nearly 10 years.

Is that a thing??? Still 0 on OPKs, but as a result of my surgeries I also have to drink over 3 litres of fluid a day as your large bowel takes water into your system so I have to overcompensate for that. Day 4 of flashing smile. OH even came to ask if I was ok!!

Sorry for over sharing but over the years I’ve come to terms with many things like embarrassing 💩noises going to the loo in places or with ppl in cubicles next door so you kinda have to get on with life 🤷‍♀️

Hi girls,

Have any of you had experience of your actual ovulation date being wayyy out from where apps have predicted it is? Or maybe short periods of flashing before static smiley on CB tests?

I've never tracked properly before this month, and I'm now using CB tests. Apps predict I should ovulate on Friday but I'm still showing ⭕️ on the tests. As it's my first month of testing I'm not sure how many days of flashing smileys would be normal? And is it anything to worry about if ovulation is later than predicted? I always have 28 day cycles :)

@KRK05 oh no so sorry to hear about DS!! Sending lots of hugs to you both 💛💛

Thank you 😊 looking forward to having some support this month coming xx

Welcome @Mich2020 so sorry to hear that. Positive vibes and everything crossed for you. We are here for you xx

@Juno231 yes also going to try to pinpoint mine with opk! Have never tracked it before but interested to see if my app is correct. Keep me updated :)

@notyetamumbuttrying yes, same!! Ooh let me know how that goes. A friend of mine has started that for PMT. My AF usually lasts 4-5 days! Hope it works for you!

Hey. Ok to join you ladies?? Had a few faint positives but came on today so into month 16 😩😩 xx

Sorry to hear about your son @KRK05 hope you're both ok!
Welcome @TheGirlWhoLived sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hopefully this is the month for you!

Ooh a fellow 24 day cycle buddy! @watermelonwizard I'm trying to lengthen mine so that I ovulate later as hovering around cd10 most months! I'm taking agnus castus this month so will start using opk's from the weekend as period due to end tomorrow. It's lightened my flow this month too, I was light from day 3 and barely had anything today. Perhaps it'll actually finish within 4 days now!?

@watermelonwizard I'm also CD5 and am predicted to ovulate on the 29th. The app is assuming ovulation on cd14 for me and I'm not sure why as I ovulated on CD16 last month and CD13 the month before! So I'll be using OPKs to try and pinpoint it again :)

@KRK05 I'm really sorry to hear about DS, I hope he's okay!

@TheGirlWhoLived welcome! So sorry to hear about your loss last year, is it why you held off a year to try again?

@SmileyT I am also CD5 (or 6) my cycles are usually 24 days long but who knows post mirena! So I have been practising too already!! My cycles app predicts ovulation Monday so most fertile days Saturday Sunday Monday so have pre warned DH!!!! How does your cycle length and predicted ov compare ? Mine could be a way off as some women take months to get back to a regular cycle after the coil so I’m keen to find out! Have you been TTC for long?

Thanks 😊 sad news about your ds! Hope he’s ok x

@SmileyT I didn't even realise that it was half a marathon until you said! Quite chuffed really haven't walked that long in a while. My shoulders are going to be painful in bed tonight tho 😩

@KRK05 oh no 😩 sending my love to you and DS💜

@TheGirlWhoLived so sorry for your loss last year, welcome 🙏

@watermelonwizard yeah 8years is a long time so I bet it's a whole different situation now. Haha I'm the same I like to have some structure to this crazy ttc journey. When will you start testing with opks? We may be at a similar stage I'm CD5 period just finished so started on opks today (I know it's too early but just practicing) x

@KRK05 sending lots of love to you and Brave DS ❤️

@SmileyT thank you! I wish I was a go with the flow type person but I’m not! I’m tracking it using an app and also got some opk tests. I’m also intrigued because I’ve just come off the mirena about when my body goes back to normal as it’s been so long since I have been natural! Yes OH is excited. Me too and I think it’ll be a completely different experience this time. Love my DS to bits but it wasn’t the best time for me. I’m older and wiser and in a much better position now.

@KRK05 that’s so scary, I hope he is ok (and you!) x

@KRK05 that sounds so scary I hope you are ok (obs DS too) sending big hugs to you to get better soon, they are very resilient. Much more than us!

@TheGirlWhoLived no course not! Welcome! We are all wondering if we can keep up the DTD!!

@KRK05 oh that's awful! Poor thing. Take care.

Not been on this girls, I wont be TTC this month or I dont even know when cause I cant even think about, last thing on my mind tbh! My DS split his head open last night, was sedated & had to get stitches 😪 so I dont know when il be ready (I've taken it worse than my DS has, he was so brave)

I will keep an eye out at times on the thread though in hope to see some BFP. Baby dust to yous all ❤

Should I go to some other bus then?
