June Bus - who's on board?

My OH was meant to be away for a few nights in March, which subsequently got cancelled due to early days of Coronavirus worry and I was GUTTED 😂 felt so bad because obviously didn't want him to put himself or anyone else in any potential danger, but also had been waiting for my few nights alone for MONTHS 😫

@Skip86 Not gonna lie Netflix & chocolate ALONE sounds perfect, I cant wait to my DS can go stay at grandparents house for the night & hopefully OH goes out or something so I can enjoy some alone time, sounds the dream justnow 😂

@Minster2012 @Skip86 Looking forward to it actually, been a while since date night even if were stuck in the house with lockdown having it 😂 hes always really thoughtful not not always this cute planning surprise date nights, probably away to try butter me up for something 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 haha Dr Google is the guru. And agreed it seem way less weird studying my own fluids than his 😂

And @KRK05 that date night sounds amaze! What a star your DH is, he could give mine some tips 😏 He's out tonight and I'm actually enjoying having monopoly of Netflix and eating all the chocolate alone.

Ooooo @KRK05 loving the sound of date night how exciting! Kicks things off well!

@Skip86 according to dr google the deposits from our wonderful OHs can indeed look like ewcm so I think I may have been feeling his contribution which somehow weirdly I find more disgusting than me going looking for mine in the first place 🤔however I loved what you said about Sex Ed, I don’t know about others on the thread but I’m gonna turn 36 in July & we def weren’t told anything about the “proper inner workings” of the amazing (& v complicated) female body!

@Minster2012 I once asked DH if he though his jizz had any resemblance to egg white 😂 I think it was when I DIDN'T want to get preg and freaked out when I saw it down there after sex, even though it wasn't anywhere near my fertile time. He was like 'no way!', but I'm so sure it was his business and not my own CM, so yeah I reckon at times you could get the two mixed up 😝🍆💦

@Minster2012
Wow, sounds like you’ve been through a lot already. And thanks, 🤞🏻for you toox

@Skip86
Thanks, you too. Sorry to hear about your MMC as well, not nice at all. Yeah I would love to feed through a pregnancy and to tandem feed so 🤞🏻.

@lucyrp I've been doing mines at 7 & I go to sleep about 2 so that 5 hours & it's not interrupted sleep or anything, as long as its 3 hours that's apparently fine but who knows maybe they will start being regular temperatures but at this point there up & down so if I was past ovulation u wouldnt be able to tell it from my temps 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 Well yeah the waiting now 😭 but I'm excited to start all my OPKs on Monday & me & OH half have planned a big walk tomorrow with DS & dog then a date night at night (it's a surprise apparently) so thatl kick start things off 😜

Oh yeah your CM sounds promising that youl be expecting that smiley anytime soon 🤞🏻 although I do agree theres always more after DTD recently, that is why I just dont track it cause thatd just cause me a whole lot of stress I do not need 😂

@KRK05 yay for AF leaving the building 👌🏻onto phase 1??? The waiting 🤨

I seem to have ewcm today I can def stretch it! But a O on CB this morning so do we think it might come over the weekend? I hope so 🤞🏻Or....is there another TMI explanation...could it be from DH last night from DTD?? Is it that similar? I mean I’m obviously NOT trying to second guess EVERYTHING, but if I were 🤔could it be his stuff??

@KRK05 I don't think temping is for me either don't seem to see much of a change and have been temping at 6:15 when OH wakes me up when he goes to work but I need more sleep 😂

My AF is nearly non existent today too, although managed to DTD last night and this morning just incase the test was right yesterday 😂

@Skip86 @Minster2012 @Ltay2 So random a 😂 I'm gonna continue to temp this cycle (but my temps are all over the place) cause in curious to see if I get like a cover line for it & what it looks like by the end of my cycle but I'm not gonna read too much into my actual temps cause my temp changes so much daily 😑 so I dont think temping is for me, will just see it to the end cause I've started now.

@lucyrp What everyone says actually makes a lot of sense & yeah just continue to DTD so your covered 🤞🏻

Hope everyones doing good, this is finally last day of my AF it's basically non existent so excited to get into next part of cycle 🥰

@Attybae hi & good luck for your TWW let’s hope you are our first BFP!

@KRK05 I tried to temp last month & basically gave up as my sleep isn’t really good enough, & apparently a glass of wine can throw it off so I didn’t like that idea I’d rather enjoy the wine & not worry bout it!

@Skip86 that’s good about the smile on CB but rubbish about argument & DH being out but if you DTD a couple of days ago & tomorrow you are doing what you can around life! It can’t become life I don’t think.

@CMM20 same for me, CD12 & big fat O for me too again, was really hoping it would change as we usually DTD every day overly Friday/weekend!

@lucyrp if you are DTD every day /every other day then that’s all you can do & maybe get strips then yeah see what AF does

Day 3 of the wonderful 'O' on CB this morning....I feel this may get old quickly!

@KRK05 That is strange! I've had that happen before with AF changing but not usually because of 2 temps. I don't really temp a lot now (I am trying just never get enough sleep 🤣) so I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

@Skip86 as long as I have a test in the house I will always do it I'm terrible so now I don't stock up until I think I need one otherwise I just waste money doing it. If it's sat in the bathroom cupboard I feel like there's a burning hole in there 😂

Yes definitely yesterday was a first day so am going to get the cheap strips because at least then I can satisfy my need of daily testing 😂 and only use the CB as per instructed x

@Attybae welcome and good luck ✨

@lucyrp haha yes so true! And the urge to keep testing always trumps instructions 😂😂 As the CB works on algorithms though I'd say try your best to stick to the instructions or you'll be throwing money down the drain!

Hello! I’m new here. I’m 29 and I turn 30 this year. My DH and I have been TTC for a year with no luck. 3/4 of that year was spent with him working offshore but he now is home for good. I have no bio children and no known fertility issues. It gets frustrating when I feel like I’m doing everything as far as opks to make sure we have sex before during and after ovulation. I got a strong positive ovulation test on May 8th so according to my app today is 6dpo. I’m really praying and hoping this is my month.

@Skip86 I was reading them as I wrote that I did read it properly but thought I would give it a whirl anyway. I'm sure when TTC the instructions can say whatever you like but you still don't listen I know I don't in regards to pregnancy tests and what time of the day to do them and only to do one etc 😂 I just feel you get consumed by it all and do whatever you feel or believe in the end x

@lucyrp sorry lovely but I think you may have interpreted the instructions incorrectly - yep you can test more than once a day, but only after you see high fertility symbol (so flashing smiley) 😊 until then it's important to test only once a day with FMU so the holder can obtain your baseline LH level.
Hope that helps x

@Skip86 it's quite confusing as I've just had to put this bleed down to AF but I'm not even sure if it is that but no way of knowing! I know I read thag it has to be your urine after your longest sleep but I did also read on the leaflet you can test 4 hours later without urinating so I did that after seeing thag the first is sometimes a baseline. It's so hard not to get carried away or feel like you're going crazy with this kind of thing! Especially when with my PFB it just happened with hardly any thought into it!

Yeah the test holder is now confused and will leave the smiley on until tomorrow dinner time by the looks so if I pop out today to the shop going to see if I can grab some cheap strips to use alongside it. Xx

@Minster2012 it was awful was starting to think I wasn't ever going to be able to conceive again and then it happened and was so excited but wasn't long before that came crashing down. I think the only thing I can do this month whilst waiting for things to settle down and work themselves out is to DTD as much as is possible. TMI but OH and I often DTD every day so am going to try and keep that up as much as possible until I meet AF again whenever that will be xxx

Aargh sorry for my essays! 🙈🙈 I am sleeping when you're all on here so catch up with looong response once a day 😜

Oh and @lucyrp wow that sounds like a totally rubbish experience, poor thing. I'm not really sure what to make of your current opk situation though, as it does seem quite early to get peak. As @Minster2012 said, after your chemical/MMC it wouldn't be completely out of the question as your body is a bit confused and trying to get back on track.
However, the CB digitals really should only be used with the first urine of the day while you have the 'O' symbol, so I'm not sure that I would trust that the smiley face is correct. Once you have a flashing smiley with your FMU you can test again later in the day if you choose to.
CB tests for both oestrogen and LH, whereas most others just test for LH. You are best to test later in the day with the LH only tests as that is when you will get a higher concentration in your urine. Your CB may have detected 'high' LH but only when compared to your morning urine, but not when compared to the rest of your cycle and true ovulation. Those tests are clever little things.

I would wait until the morning, test again, and hopefully it's actually gone back to 'O'. However if the test holder is a bit confused by the whole thing and has a tantrum, it might be worth getting some cheap LH only strip and using them as well for this month.
