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!

@Positivetime looks good to me 🥳🥳

This is the luckiest bus

CoronaBaby · 10/05/2020 09:27

@unluckyducky I also felt a bit hopeless as I had an implantation bleed with DD I remember looking at the paper and thinking omg that’s implantation bleeding but nothing this time round. Are your two DC the same sex? Possibly this one is different?

Juno231 · 10/05/2020 09:26

@Newbie0818 you sure it's not implantation?

@unluckyducky welcome! I'm 7DPO too :) also don't be silly about implantation! Just cause it was early in previous pregnancies doesn't mean it will be now and it doesn't always come with a bleed - only about a third of them do. So stay positive and 🤞is your month!

Positivetime · 10/05/2020 09:23

No idea what made me test this morning. I was going to wait until after period was missed!

Positivetime · 10/05/2020 09:23

Hi all, I’m 10 dpo, AF is due on 15th. Is this for real??

I’m not sure what to think or do next...would love your opinions lovely ladies please.

Newbie0818 · 10/05/2020 09:22

Ladies, is it possible to only get af for a few hours? Has this happened to anyone?

CoronaBaby · 10/05/2020 09:19

Thanks so much everyone!! I can hardly believe it myself
@vintagemoo sorry about the test but with DD I didn’t get a BFP until 2 days before my period so try again as possibly it was too easily for you.
@SmileyT @BabyDust13 @Juno231 @popcorndiva @Franklydear @ZRS86 I will be closely watching you girls this week!

@Violetlilac congrats 🥳🥳

Fluffkins14 · 10/05/2020 09:10

3rd day of flashing smiley 🙄 usually ovulate around CD 16 which is today. IC OPKs are starting to show a rise but used fmu so not sure if it will continue through the day, kind of glad it hasn't happened yet as DP wasn't in the mood last night, hoping we still have a chance feeling a bit deflated this month

@CoronaBaby congrats! Another bfp! Really happy for you xx

@RobinRose that's what I have done this month- trying not to count CD! I have worked out af due between today and Wednesday. I feel much better not having a single date to fixate on.

@SmileyT that was me a few days ago! But now I'm waiting for AF any day now so hoping time speeds up (although it probably won't...).

vintagemoo · 10/05/2020 08:57

@Violetlilac That looks positive to me too! Congrats! 😘

vintagemoo · 10/05/2020 08:53

@CoronaBaby Yessss! Amazing. I'm so happy for you!! That's just brilliant.

I was inspired to POAS myself, but sadly no such luck for me at 10DPO. I'll try again in a few days but I'm not feeling very confident any more. Oh well.

ZRS86 · 10/05/2020 08:47

@Violetlilac I think that looks positive too...congratulations!!

ZRS86 · 10/05/2020 08:46

@SmileyT I’m ok thanks and agree with you that all of the BFPs give me a bit of hope. Thankfully I’m going into work all week so that will hopefully help keep me distracted and make me hold off on testing until the weekend. Trying not to symptom spot as anything I’ve got could easily be progesterone related!

lorylondon · 10/05/2020 08:43

That looks like a BFP to me! Congratulations! Xx

lorylondon · 10/05/2020 08:41

Is there anything that measures just estrogen? Would be interesting PO too, to see if it stays elevated.

lorylondon · 10/05/2020 08:39

@MrsEmilyB Thank you for the code!

@SmileyT Thanks for the CB website info. Much clearer than the leaflet! I did test last night (before I saw your post) and got my flashing smiley. Flashing smiley again this morning, but now I’m worried I’ve done something to the settings by testing at the wrong time - and am not sure whether to trust it. (However, I will as it’s all I have to go on!) Waiting for the static smiley, which I know will mean the LH surge. Have ordered the Femometer paper strips for future, I’m finding the high technology of CB a little bit too stressful 😂

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 08:31

@BabyDust13 seeing loads of lovely BFPs around the 11dpo so if you can make it to Tuesday morning hopefully you'll get a nice clear line x

@popcorndiva ahh hope the sunburn isn't too bad and clears up quickly for you x

@Juno231 well pains and vivid dreams sound like a good sign. I guess until we get our BFPs or AF all we have is a bit of hope x

Violetlilac · 10/05/2020 08:09

Hey

Was hoping to get some other eyes on this. I'm 10 dpo...

@SmileyT morning 9DPO today I'm pretty sure time has stopped.

I could probably pick out some symptoms but most of them could be either pregnancy or time of the month related

Trying to hold off until tomorrow or Tuesday to test

Good luck to anyone else testing soon

Juno231 · 10/05/2020 07:53

@SmileyT ah I'm just going crazy at this point. Had a dream this morning that I had implantation pain - but it was so vivid that I'm thinking I actually was in pain this morning and created a dream to fit the narrative?! Absolutely nuts.

@mrsemilyb no I just had strong highs but no peak then - I figured I'd missed it or my wee was diluted.

And girls I'm desperate for some morning bullet time but I've been on the same busses as Adrianoska since Feb and she's put the fear of god in me about the contractions potentially disrupting implantation! The risk might be low but why take the chance 😱

popcorndiva · 10/05/2020 07:03

I managed to burn the top of my back yesterday. So annoying. It was when i was supervising the splashing session in the paddling pool.

So it's lots of after sun for me today. No signs either way if we have been successful this month or not

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 06:49

@CoronaBaby yes yes yes 100% pregnant!!! I'd just wait a couple days now before testing again and you'll get a nice strong line on any test 🙌🏾

How is the rest of the 7-8dpo crew doing @BabyDust13 @ZRS86 @Juno231 @popcorndiva @Franklydear ?

Anyone else in that middle section of TWW when time appears to have stopped?? 😂

@MrsEmilyB glad you had a good sesh last night, at least you know you have done everything in your power, any shift in your BBT this morning? I have no idea how you would wait to tell OH if you got that BFP mine has my period date in his diary but would be the best birthday present for him ❤️

Skip86 · 10/05/2020 01:15

@MrsEmilyB are you sure you don't have shares in the Bullet?? 😂😂 But you've sold it to me! I've never owned anything like that but will take whatever help I can get keeping things exciting in FW. Any chance you could post the link?!
PS sounds like you caught the surge perfectly 🙌🏼

@lorylondon I use CB digi opk and was going to comment on waiting for slashing smile and getting cheap tests to use alongside etc etc, but @SmileyT covered it all, she is a wealth of knowledge!

@CoronaBaby omg yassss! Congrats 👏🏼👏🏼

MrsEmilyB · 10/05/2020 00:07

@RobinRose - ahh we should be almost exact 2ww twins!! 😍

@juno231 - did you get a positive OPK? I didn't at all at CD18, just thought I was too hydrated! But strong strong peak today - no denying it!

@Hopefulmummie - do you often have such a high temp variation in your follicular phase? I used to and it can make it super difficult to pinpoint ovulation.

@littlepeas2 - so interesting that you don't like it! That's what I was going to try in July if this month is a flop.

@popcorndiva good luck my darling!!

Girls, sod the sore foof, DH and I just had the BEST baby dance sesh. If that doesn't make a baby, nothing will 💃💃💃
