Hi Ladies,

So we seem to be absolutely hammering through our May Bus 2 thread. My gosh we can chat! But you have been vital to my sanity this cycle ❤️❤️❤️ I've tagged as many as i can think of at the end of a working week 🤯 please tag the others as I absolutely haven't the brain power!

@MrsEmilyB your comment made me laugh 😂!

Pol96 · 10/05/2020 15:11

@popcorndiva feeling the same, already feeling like I'm out and only 7dpo.. Ttc is a very emotionally hard time.. Good luck 🤞

Juno231 · 10/05/2020 15:11

Symptom spotting has well and truly begun for me! Lots of cm, cervix is high and soft and I had twinges and pulls on my lower right hand side of my abdomen - same side I had ovulation pains. 🤞🤞

RobinRose · 10/05/2020 15:05

@popcorndiva sorry your feeling out of sorts, no one warns you how draining this TTC business is do they! I find the TWW most difficult. Is there something you can do to keep yourself occupied? Colouring book, jigsaw puzzle, painting? Baking? Absolutely anything that takes your mind off the situation, Even if it’s just for an hour!

Newbie0818 · 10/05/2020 14:58

@Skip86 wow thats amazing! You’re right, everyone’s body is so different and wonderful.
Don’t be sorry at all, I’ve been so jumpy and all over this place on this thread.

I think this cycle has just been so long and confusing, I want this so badly and I’m just worried that my biggest fear is starting to come true :/ thank you all for your support, I’m sure you’re just about as fed up of my saga as I am! Fx for continued luck on this thread 🤞🏼✨💜

popcorndiva · 10/05/2020 14:46

Just eaten a crunchie to get that Friday feeling on a Sunday.

Skip86 · 10/05/2020 14:28

@Positivetime amazing!! And there you were feeling so un-positive! Haha woo 🎉💗

@MrsEmilyB *adds g-tickler to cart

@popcorndiva sorry you're feeling rubbish. Is there something you can do to relax and take your mind away from TTC? Bath, meditation, reading? How is your OH at massages..? 😍

Skip86 · 10/05/2020 14:23

Aargh sorry @Newbie0818 only just saw you said she's definitely on her way. I'm sorry x

Skip86 · 10/05/2020 14:21

@Newbie0818 for what it's worth, with my DS2 I did an instream test on 13DPO, put the test down, wiped and saw a fair bit of blood on the paper, annoyed I'd even wasted a test and gutted AF had hit. Light bleeding continued a few hours. Remembered the test sitting there and looked at it - BFP! Was SO confused. Turns out I was definitely preg and the bleeding eventually tapered off, and then had minor spotting through first 10 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
DS1 I had absolutely zero bleeding the whole time.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that implantation bleeding is so annoyingly variable, our bodies play ridiculous tricks. Booo.

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 14:02

@MrsEmilyB I definitely have a much higher sex drive than my OH but however I dress it up I feel like scheduling sex just makes it a bit more shit for me, been enjoying it much more in TWW with a couple days in between to keep it interesting. I'm testing on the 20th as one app predicts period will start on 19th so still 10 sleeps to go if period doesn't start first! What date will you be testing if you ovulate today?

Hoping1 · 10/05/2020 14:01

Wow such a lucky bus congratulations on the BFP. Fingers crossed for more xxxx

MrsEmilyB · 10/05/2020 13:58

Ohh @popcorndiva I'm sorry you feel so crummy today. Is there anything inparticular making you feel like that? Sending a big squeeze.

NemoBear7 · 10/05/2020 13:24

I think we’re all feeling the pain @popcorndiva as much as it’s lovely to hear of all the positive tests it does get you down after a bit, especially if you’ve been trying for a while.

I’m sure you’ll get there soon. Maybe this month even. 😊

WildButterfly · 10/05/2020 13:22

Could be @Juno231.. but there’s an all too familiar cramp lingering as well. Hmm We shall see, I might hold back on actively trying for a couple of months and see if my cycles regulate a bit more. Flowers

popcorndiva · 10/05/2020 13:18

I have turned into a negative diva today. Already decided now this month is a write off. Weather not helping so miserable. Not sure mentally I am going to manage months on end

Juno231 · 10/05/2020 13:03

@WildButterfly or could be implantation! 🤞

Sausage1990 · 10/05/2020 12:57

Woohoo @Positivetime Congratulations!!

@Juno231it is such a lucky bus and I think lockdown is helping everyone get busy... We all have more time (as a general rule) so have more time to prioritise DTD without life getting in the way.

@MrsEmilyB I agree with that & hope the luck continues or I'll feel really left out 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Newbie0818 · 10/05/2020 12:45

@SmileyT @Skyla01 @franklydear
Thanks ladies. I’m now fairly certain it’s af, just very light. I’m used to heavy ones so my cycle playing games again.

WildButterfly · 10/05/2020 12:45

Gosh my posts are all wonky. ConfusedTo summarise, wiped some light blood earlier, supposedly 9dpo according to flo at CD27. Its my second cycle after removing the implant, and the previous one lasted 33days. So could be AF as my body is still adjusting.

MrsEmilyB · 10/05/2020 12:36

@Readyformyeggy - hi and welcome! Ooh you're good; waiting until AF hasn't shown! I think I'd have caved! Fingers crossed for you.

@SmileyT - I know! They moan about the amount of sex during FW then get disappointed when you don't jump on them during the 2ww! Men, eh? When are you testing?! @eljoy Can't believe we've had 1 a day thus far - what an amazing bus! Please, please let it continue! Going to feel like everyone is PG but me otherwise haha

Hi everyone, luckiest bus ever! Congratulations, cracked double digit bfps Star
@CoronaBaby amazing news I hope that's a sign for the rest of the 14 May testers. I am doing everything I can do avoid poas.. weekend kept me very busy which helped pass time. @vintagemoo there's still time Smile
It's Mother's Day here in NZ today, hopeful to join the club next year

WildButterfly · 10/05/2020 12:20

I’m supposedly according to flo, but could be AF as it’s the second cycle after removing the implant, so it’s a bit all over the place.

WildButterfly · 10/05/2020 12:19

Morning ladies, got some spotting when wiping today. I’m on

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 12:18

@lorylondon yeah I use the femometer strips aswell and it's nice to track them alongside CB so it makes sense. Haven't heard of any oestrogen only strips but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

@ZRS86 I'm feeling you on not symptom spotting so much, pre- AF and early pg are so similar I'm the same as you and trying to keep busy (unsuccessfully over a long weekend in lockdown when DP is working)

@Skyla01 I'm trying to desperately plan for stuff to change for next cycle so I'm not too disappointed when AF arrives but it's hard 😕

@Positivetime amazing news, today's BFP is come in early and continuing our 1 a day streak 🙌🏾 so happy for you xx

@Newbie0818 if it was a few hours I'd say it definitely can't be a full period as it wouldn't be able to shed your uterus lining in that time surely? I guess it's more important if it's unusual for you, if you normally have a full period then maybe this was just spotting.

@Aimy1 sorry about your CP hope this is a lucky month. I've only been tracking one full month but I found I had pain/ tugging around my ovaries in the first week post ovulation

@MrsEmilyB yeah my BBT dropped morning of ovulation day and rose the following day so that makes sense if ovulating today 🙌🏾 all through fertile period DP would be like 'is it time for me to fill you up again' after fertile period first time he asked I was like 'I'm full thanks' 😂 for me time is dragging and I can't even make up any symptoms but hopefully busy week at work next week will keep me occupied 🙄

Who is going to be tomorrow's BFP!?

WildButterfly · 10/05/2020 12:15

@positivetime Faint line but I can definitely see it, congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
