June Bus - who's on board?

@Minster2012 Why is nothing easy, I'm probably one of ones who go high low high low until I get a peak or something cause I'm just full of bad luck me 😂 il see what tonight's one says. I wish I kept the urine now & put my CB in it, maybe wouldve had a flashy. Its DTD night anyway cause were following SMEP. How have u been? Was it another flashy today X

AF is officially in the building everyone... got to work and boom there she was! 😣 it’s a weird dark brown colour and strange cm-like-consistency though and not my usual flood of red heavy blood 🤷🏻‍♀️ My body is just having a bit of a weird month I think 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

@theotherfossilsister welcome & sorry to hear about your early loss, sending lots of hugs & baby dust your way

@KRK05 that does look like a high to me but I haven’t been doing OPKs to know any more than yeah that looks high for CD8, but if you DTD anyway tonight & year again in 4 hours maybe then it will show you more? Keep testing I say but I don’t know much!

@33Carr no I know that's what I thought and it did make me giggle just the thought of it 😂 I had decided when she was being negative about us both being pregnant att the same time that I wasn't going to tell her as much but I'm a very open book so find it hard not to tell people I am close to things that are important to me but I got reminded that I shouldn't tell her these things if I want to be happy. Yes I have two other friends one of which is my closest so I speak to them about it and of course my OH who is my best friend.

@theotherfossilsister I know it's very sad, I would have thought she would be happy for me to be TTC and supportive but clearly not

Needing help girls so this is CD8 for me so my plan has been start my CB today & do cheapy OPKs early afternoon & late evening (basically cause I just want to POAS & it's my first month doing it so want to get practice in) so I've just done my first cheapy one & got this. So just wondering do yous normally get quite a dark one then fade a bit before going dark then peak? I'm just confused cause I wouldve expected it to be quite light on CD8 🤔 Or am I total newbie just blethering rubbish that nobody understands 😂

@lucyrp I don't think you can drown sperm? Your friend sounds embittered by her own experiences, sadly. She's maybe going through a lot of stress about her pregnancy as it took so long, but it's no excuse to treat you like this.

Hi All, Trying too hard not to get hung up on this (am on infertility thread too and this is month eighteen trying after a possible early loss, which I don't know for sure, as I didn't test - GP said as it was five and half weeks and heavy bleed she thought that was what it was.)

Anyway, CD10 and will test if I don't have period by sixth June. It's always this point I feel more optimistic and think, it could happen, it could happen, then I get down about six days before due period, and think, I was an idiot, of course it won't happen.

How are you all doing? Going to read thread now, but might be a bit flakey about coming back as I find a little time on these boards is good but any more wrecks my mental health.

@lucyrp I have never heard of sperm being drowned.... I know it's easier said than done sometimes, but don't let her get to you. As you've said, she sounds really funny. If she has been struggling herself,l surely she would be more supportive of someone she's close to going through something similar. Have you got someone else IRL that you can talk to about stuff that will be more supportive?

@KRK05 yes I got another ⭕️ and my temp went back to 36.5 which it normally is but it was 36.19 yesterday which is odd so not sure why that happened

@lucyrp I’ve just seen what she said, sorry she made you feel down I can understand why, doesn’t sound much of a friend at all & you need to ignore her, there are no “rules” for conception & you are doing great, just DTD whenever you want! Sending big hugs & you ignore her, she’s obviously very wrapped up in herself & u don’t need that

@Minster2012 I have written it below when replying to @notyetamumbuttrying☹️ is it right that some months even though you ovulate it might not be w high enough count to conceive ??

Morning everyone, hope everyones doing good. Monday again 🙈 weekend just flys in! CD8 for me so started my CB this morning, it's so sad how excited I am to see when I ovulate, couldn't get out my bed fast enough to POAS 😂

@Skip86 Aw it was so lovely we had tea (hes an amazing cook) so done all that, he set the table with candles & flowers etc then we had drinks in the lazyspa in the garden with the led lights on (I had non alcoholic kopperberg 😂) then watched a film. Was nice just us two, no 5 year old squeezing in the middle or hearing 'mum's 50x 😂 thatl be that for another couple years 🙈 we live in Scotland so still in lockdown so had to just make the most of the house! Oh & keep DTD just incase u have missed your surge for that static smiley 🤞🏻

@Ltay2 I am wondering this exact question so I'm just gonna wait on when I get a static smiley cause my apps are crazy justnow, flo actually has me ovulating Friday coming 🤨 but my other apps the following Thursday/Friday so a whole week difference.

@lucyrp What did u get today another ⭕ I done my first one today yay!

@lucyrp what did your friend say? Stay positive, this could be the month 💕

@33Carr she does know I'm TTC and knows everything about it ☹️

@lucyrp Awh can't be much of a friend if they have left you feeling deflated, or are they unaware you are TTC?

@bumdiggy Which pre-work our do you use? Often thought about trying some but never got round to it, think I might have to get some for when I actually start going to the gym again to try help me get back into it! Dreading trying to get into the gym routine again!

@juno321 buying a house is so exciting!!! Best of luck with everything! I'm forever browsing Rightmove on the lookout for forever future homes which are miles and miles out of budget haha!

@minster2012 @SmileyT I mainly work in a outpatient environment so most f2f appointments have been cancelled. Still have the others ticking us over and then the inpatients. We are now starting our 'routine urgents' clinics back up again as the waiting lists are just 😱😱😱😱

@franklydear I'm on CD3 overs jere too 🙋🏻‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying yes it was very negative about TTC! She's a funny friend I never understand her really we've been friends for years but she's hard to place. She's currently pregnant for the first time they've been TTC for 3 years and had 3 MC and she was pregnant just before I found out I was and then I had a CP and she wasn't very happy about me being pregnant at the same time and was very negative about the whole thing and I almost felt like when I found out I had a CP she was happy about it. I was just telling her that me and OH we're DTD every day this cycle and sometimes more than once a day and she was saying that's bad and I could be drowning the sperm etc etc and everything I'm doing is wrong 😢

What did your 'friend' say to you @lucyrp? I hope nothing negative about ttc?!

Thanks @Minster2012 yes i think i will order more ic opks and use them fairly regularly as i missed confirming O last month. I got a darkish opk cd14 but never a full postive so not sure if hormones were on the way up or down at that stage. Only have enough CB sticks to take me to cd 14.

Suddenly feeling very deflated today, I woke up in such a good mood and after having a chat with a "friend" feeling not so optimistic anymore ☹️

@Katao def use the CB in the morning with fmu, then yeah most ppl do an IC in afternoon or if more frequently then maybe 12, 4, 8pm when you get a high, that’s what I’m hoping to do, dashing smile on CB yesterday & today but nothing on IC

CD10 - AM - negative ovulation test.

So I'm guessing I just had a dodgy IC test the other day. Very odd, unless I've just ovulated super early and missed it.

I'm a SAHP. DP works in construction. He's home all the time just now, and as much as I prefer it to him working, it's doing my head in now lol DD and I had such a good little routine before all this madness.

@SmileyT I’m trying to keep an eye out for ewcm but never really paid attention before so fingers crossed that changes OV day on femometer

@lucyrp often feels I’m trying to potty train DH, both not great so far!

@Franklydear morning & welcome

@SmileyT & @33Carr most of my nurse/doctor friends are very much less busy

Cd11 nothing on CB yet. Running out of dticks and patience 😂
Hi to all who have joined.
@SmileyT I'm a bit unsure about when to use the opks too. When i Google it says its best to test in the afternoon as the surge usually starts in the morning and fmu might not have enough in it to be detected but then CB instructions say use fmu. I wonder is that because that brand checks 2 different hormones? Anyway i have only 3 more CB sticks so going to use them with fmu and an ic in afternoon to cover all bases.

@BumDiggyDiggyDiggyBumDiggyBum we are both fake key workers, i'm a mortgage advisor for a high street bank and he is a signaller for a national rail company. I had a MC 2 days after the announcement that pregnant people should shield so I'd mentally prepared to be at home for 12 weeks then I had the bad news of MC and the fact I had to go back into the office 😩 Glad you are feeling good after a workout, I need to get myself motivated for home workouts x

@Minster2012 here's hoping it updates itself, I also realised last month that if you put in EWCM it will automatically update it as your ovulation day.

@33Carr interesting you say about work, I had a client last week who is a nurse and I assumed she would be mad busy and she said she was actually quieter as she works with works on a ward that deals with abnormal smear investigations and she said she is quieter as less referrals and she is just catching up on admin. Hope you are keeping safe xx

Morning ladies. Cd1 here so hoping to join you, jumping on the June bus.

Wishing lots of baby dust on everyone x
