June Bus - who's on board?

@BumDiggyDiggyDiggyBumDiggyBum Temperature should be taken from under your tongue, as far back as you can do usually where the tongue attaches is a good spot! I think you can get some that take your temperature from your ear but usually it's your mouth.

Good morning ladies

Quick question, how do u use a bbt thermometer? I stuck it in my armpit this morning and it said 35, I’m not hypothermic so that’s defo wrong 😂 not sure if it’s a shitty one.

I had menopause symptoms last year and, as early menopause is quite likely with my condition/medication, I was tested for it. But they only tested bloods once, and it wasn’t taken at the right time of my cycle. It came back no menopause, but that’s a big reason why I wanted to start tracking properly, to see if I was ovulating properly.

Beginning to think I’m not 😑 very early days but I’m supposed to be ovulating this week at some point, but every test has a very very faint line and showing negative. I’ve done 10 so far.

I’ll keep going but who knows what’s happening

@KateColx glad I made someone laugh! My OH thinks I'm mad sometimes as I open this app and read the comments and I'm in tears 😂😂

We DTD early this morning and I need to shower but scared of getting up too soon😂

@SmileyT thank you!! Glad it's just a quick surge and not something abnormal with me 😂 Lesson learnt not to wait for FW, but OH is in for a good weekend at least 🤣 x

@lucyrp your messages have killed me reading them this morning 😂 I need to take a leaf out of your book and be doing it at every opportunity haha x

Gosh so much to catch up on!! Definitely pleased my OH isn’t a gamer he would be exhausted! We had a zoom 70th party for my FIL last night which was pretty weird & exhausting tbh

I’m now on day 6 of flashing smiles & I feel it’s mocking me 😤I only have one stick left now FFS & was convinced I was gonna get a static today after my ICs at least showed one ‘high’ yesterday but that was only 30. I feel totally deflated now this cycle looks like it’s gonna be long I’m CD 19 now 😥

Morning Girls! Another flashing smiley for me this morning!

@OnNaturesCourse no don't worry it definitely isn't only you that gets that kind of attention from a gamer. He's back at work now so he's not on it that much but when he was off isolating he would stay up later because he didn't have to get up in the morning 😂

@Skip86 fingers crossed you did enough for something to catch 🤞🏼enjoy the weather while it lasts! I did try being out in the sun with DS yesterday but sun on sun burn is not the most pleasant j must say! 😂 you are very lucky your DH doesn't play games it's quite a turn off sometimes when they're shouting away, I'm normally in the kitchen or upstairs I just roll my eyes 😂

@SmileyT it was a very quick session but I'm wondering if it was extra good because it was in between games which were already loading so had to be quick so that might have helped with the Adrenalin rush like we were talking about before where it helps if someone's coming and you have to do it in a timescale or not at all! No I didn't do that and I can't even think how thag wojkd work, how does it work finishing after OH?😂

@Skip86 well please still share on the 31st if you get a BFP would be a great start to the month 👌🏾

@KateColx yep I went straight from blank ⭕️ to static last month (I don't think it's that uncommon), think it just means your oestrogen surge is quite quick, you will probably ovulate tomorrow so can you make the time the next 3 days, if so you've put yourself in with a shot. Xx

Morning guys,

Reading through some of your messages has made me laugh this morning 😂 but there's a lot to keep up with.

So I'm CD13 today and have had ⭕️ every morning up until this morning where it's gone straight to a static smiley? Has anyone had this before with no flashing smileys inbetween?

Annoyed with myself because we haven't DTD this week, we've both been so busy with work and I thought we'd wait for the flashing smiley. So I don't think I have great chances this month x

@SmileyT AF will be due 1st June and I feel like I should wait until then or I'm on the wrong bus! I might do a sneaky test on 31/5 though 😊

@Cocoblue22 This makes complete sense as your hcg is in your body before it can be picked up on tests, also progesterone increases so if we're in tune with our bodies we will notice really small shifts. When I fell pg in Feb if I had been ttc it would've been obvious but I wasn't so I didn't notice I was knackered and boobs were massive until I checked when my period was due and it hit me 😂

@SmileyT I agree with this I knew I was pregnant about 4 days before getting a BFP! I could just tell I felt different and my boobs felt weird I thought I must of been imagining it though because kept getting BFNs every day! The only person who believed me was my best friends as she said that’s how she had known due to her boobs and same with her DC2 so I’m hoping I’ll remember the feeling and know again!

Has anyone else had any aching bloating after coming off the pill? I don’t remember this last time but yesterday and today the lower part of my tummy feels so achey it almost feels like period pains or pulled muscles. I don’t know if I’ve picked my DC up and pulled something or whether it’s a side effect of coming off the pill. CD11 for me and still reading high oestrogen but no LH surge yet hopefully in the next few days x

@lucyrp well I'm glad you got your session of the day in, did you try the finishing after him thing?

@Skip86 hope you enjoy the weather 😎 will you be waiting for AF to be late or testing early?

Morning ladies... CD7 for me now and looking forward to going into fertile week next week 🙌🏾 How is everyone? Anymore static smily faces this morning?

One thought I did have after reading the recent convo, is thank god for the sake of our TTC that my DH doesn't play computer games! 😜

Ermagawd girls it's so hard to keep up with this chat! 😂 I'm not even going to try replying individually today!
So 3DPO for me today and not much to report. Did have cramping for the 2 days past ov day and kept wondering if I got my dates wrong. I know you should DTD the day/s after ov too, but we just didn't have the time or energy! Oh well, hoping we did enough.

One week away from winter here, and today is sunny and 24 degrees! Tomorrow is 27! Going to enjoy the weather and try to forget about the looming last part of the TWW ☀️☀️

@lucyrp 😂 that made me laugh, and I'm glad its not just me that gets that kinda attention from a gamer lol.

@SmileyT it made me laugh reading you re write it 😂😂 I even managed to nab a quickie in between games tonight, feeling lucky 😉😂😂

@lucyrp normally just get a hand down the knickers 😂😂😂

@kirsty0028 I definitely agree we know our bodies best and loads of women say they notice signs before they are medically 'pregnant' according to their ov dates. So I'm hoping you are one of them and it's a good sign 🙌🏾

@jaxs23 I am only 2 days passed ovulation so that's why I'm thinking it's too soon but it's so annoying it's hard to ignore, I'm also exhausted and feel awful. If somebody said this to me I'd say surely it's too soon but when it's your own body you just know when something is up. I'm not even symptom spotting, this is just a yucky feeling and I'm super aware of it and I am just like 'could there be any way?' ....

@OnNaturesCourse I am currently sat next to DP on the sofa whilst he plays his online game, waiting patiently for some attention 😂 normally I try lying here in my underwear but doesn't normally do much I just get a hand down my knickers while he continues playing 😂

@Juno231 I may investigate and see how I feel about it 😂🙈

@Juno231 how on earth do you finish after OH ? 😂 I normally finish way before him and the whole thing doesn't take that long most of the time 😂

Hoping to drag DP off his online game for some action tonight, I've promised I'll leave him alone after tomorrow 😂 think it's hormones but does anyone else get really horny around ovulation anyway?

Creasing myself at "suck up" ill need to mention that to DP just for a reaction lol.

@lucyrp thing is you use a little syringe to get it in and you can do it 15 min before BD so my OH doesn't really know when I use it as I just pop it in whilst in the bathroom beforehand 🤷‍♀️

@OnNaturesCourse Yay to a peak 🙌🏾 and I think the official stats are that sex the day before ovulation is more likely to end in conception but I think the difference is pretty small and it only takes one swimmer so who knows which will be the lucky one for us individually. Sperm can stay around for 3-5 days so as long as you're having regular sex you're all good x

@onnaturescourse haha on the May bus we called that up suck 😂. I always try to finish after oh for exactly that reason!
