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!

@Skip86 lol don’t be silly , it’s good to see there’s light at the end of the tunnel! I’m actually at the south of Northern Ireland and there’s hardly any covid here but because they’re afraid of all of Belfast coming here they can’t relax it area by area. Northern Ireland has extended lockdown another three weeks. Our schools break up in June so I doubt kids will be back until sept anyway 😭 xxx

Newbie0818 · 09/05/2020 09:15

@SandyN89 congratulations! That will be a lovely thing for dh to wake up to 💜

@SS123456 we got Pre-seed which feels nice and is easy to use. We haven’t been using it though as I realised I actually get plenty of my own down there 😆Please don’t panic, you still have time 💜✨

@Mrsi2020 I wish I could use vivid dreams as a symptom but I always get them! Every single night, and I can remember them. I love it mostly, it’s like I go into a different world each night. It’s promising you’re having them if you don’t normally 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@BelleDell that’s a really good idea! I might start doing that as my Flo app is too generic so I’m always trying to remember.

Skip86 · 09/05/2020 08:38

@Mrsi2020 sorry didn't mean to rub it in!

We've been really lucky here, shut our borders early and have had really low numbers, so restrictions have been lifted. The perks of living in the most isolated city in the world! But my brother and his wife live in London and I've been closely following what's happening there so really feel for you all 💗

popcorndiva · 09/05/2020 08:36

@ss123456 I have tried both. Still in TWW so don't know if they worked but preseed definitely feels nicer. Conceive plus dried up very quickly

Skip86 · 09/05/2020 08:32

@OrangeJ I'm on the west coast, and would highly recommend it if you ever house hunt here! I may be biased but it's pretty great - sun, sand, surf and all that ☀️

BelleDell · 09/05/2020 08:26

Hi ladies
This group looks fun, can I join?
I'm 31, TTC baby 1, cycle 2 now.

Interested in the comment about headaches at certain points. I symptom spotted and wrote it all down last cycle per DPO - then AF turned up. If I get anything this cycle I'll refer back to try and stop my obsessive symptom spotting ha.
Looks like a lucky group, congrats to all the graduates here Xxxx

Mrsi2020 · 09/05/2020 08:17

Morning ladies, oh god I’m so jealous of you being able to see your girls 😱😭🤣

@RobinRose I defo get headaches hormonally but I’m honestly only realising now they’re defo around certain times! How have I gotten to 33 and only figured this out now?

I’m going to symptom spot - my first sign of preg is usually vivid dreams. I had them at 3dpo and last night. Today is 5dpo, I’m not sure if this is coincidental or not( I’ve also woken up in a right mood for no reason 🤣 anyone else?! Xxx

OrangeJ · 09/05/2020 07:57

@Skip86 yes I did 🙊 had a couple of Proseccos 😝

Aah where in Aus are you? I have family in Adelaide and we spent three months out there last year. We really loved it and lockdown has got DH looking at houses over there!

RobinRose · 09/05/2020 07:53

Good morning ladies!

Does anyone else suffer from migraines around af/ovulation? I’m due to ov any day and have a cracking migraine ☹️!

SS123456 · 09/05/2020 07:18

Does anyone have a recommendation for the 'best' fertility lubricant?

AF came yesterday and being that I am 36 years old and going into my 7th month of trying I am now getting a little panicky now as time is not on my side and I'm thinking I should maybe give one a go??

I was looking at the conceive plus one (we started on the his and hers conceive plus tablets last month) or pre-seed but I thought I see if anyone had any recommendations

BabyG123 · 09/05/2020 06:54

@SandyN89 congratulations!!! I'm so sorry I thought you'd already test so tagged you in the graduates!!! Must have been psychic 👶🏼🙌🏽

Skip86 · 09/05/2020 05:33

@SandyN89 congrats! 🎉

@MrsEmilyB " I just want to ovulate so my poor foof can have a break" gave me a proper lol! 😂😂 I'm not even in FW yet and already looking forward to that haha

@OrangeJ did you have your few drinks in the afternoon? I hope so! I'm sure the benefits of doing that and relaxing would outweigh any effects on bbt 😊

I'm about to head into FW so took the opportunity to hang out with girlfriends last night (I'm in Australia and not in isolation anymore) and got proper sozzled (that is definitely not an Aus term @GingerBaby89!!). Figured it might be the last chance I'd have to enjoy a few cocktails and bust some tiktok moves 😂😂

OrangeJ · 09/05/2020 04:49

Aww @SandyN89 congratulations!! 🥳 x

SandyN89 · 09/05/2020 01:29

OMFG WTF so sorry ladies I'm confused and crying and PREGNANT and shaking. I can't believe this. After 2 CP's Been trying to get pregnant since January. I can't believe it. I so badly want to wake my husband up but I can't. Something kept telling me to test with the only digital I have. I've been cramping for a hole 4days but since yesterday it has been in tense. WTF

Hoops, Rings and May Bus 3 Things!
OrangeJ · 08/05/2020 23:32

Ugh. I had peak opk yesterday but not felt ovulation today and bbt yet to rise (will see what happens in the morning) so o not confirmed but we only bd yesterday and day before. I’m in such a grump today! Is that a sign of ovulation? 😂 either way, already feel as though we haven’t done enough this cycle.

@popcorndiva 6dpo is way early for any symptoms! So don’t worry about no signs yet. I think implantation doesn’t happen til earliest 7dpo🤞 X

Newbie0818 · 08/05/2020 22:22

@firsttimetry try cd43 🤣 but seriously, I’m sure you’ll get it soon x

BabyG123 · 08/05/2020 22:19

@firsttimetry how long are your cycles usually? I didn't peak until cd24 🤞🏼

firsttimetry · 08/05/2020 22:09

Cycle 4
CD17 - no peak of LH yet!

Newbie0818 · 08/05/2020 21:27

@Mrsi2020 I don’t want to think it is because I don’t feel anything else, but I’ve not had anymore cramps or blood since... probably will tomorrow though. Tmi but my cervix is very hard so I think that means af will come soon?

popcorndiva · 08/05/2020 20:44

I have just looked at all my tests again and I now think I ovulated last Saturday. Only making me 6dpo. Time is going very slowly but no signs of anything

Mrsi2020 · 08/05/2020 20:32

@Newbie0818 could it be implantation ?!

@BabyG123 omg congrats xx

CoronaBaby · 08/05/2020 20:26

@SmileyT I second that not sure what is/is not normal as I haven’t paid full attention before. Regret not doing that now!
@GingerBaby89 would also love to sit outside with a glass of prosecco in the sunshine 😍🙌🏼

SmileyT · 08/05/2020 17:40

@CoronaBaby I'm bloody starving all the time, have been in bed all day and have quite a lot of CM but I'm the same as you and don't know if that's just normal for this part of my cycle. It's my first month fully tracking so I'm not sure what is normal 🤔

@BabyDust13 it's good having things to look out for, I don't have a bloody clue what is standard and what is pg related.

@GingerBaby89 I'm 6dpo, it's so sunny and I feel you on wanting to just get sozzled 🥴

Newbie0818 · 08/05/2020 15:09

@Skyla01 thank you, I’ve had nothing since but mild cramps on and off.

@GingerBaby89 I’ve found drawing and lots of artsy stuff has really helped take my mind off things.

Hope everyone’s having a good day.

Positivetime · 08/05/2020 14:10

Really random but other than metallic taste has anyone ever experienced constant tongue twitching/spasms? It is the weirdest thing and I’ve been getting this since yesterday! Really bizarre.
I’ve officially gone into weird crazy symptom spotting mode!!
I really want to be pregnant and can’t stop thinking about anything else. I need next Friday to hurry up!
