May 2021 TTC Bus :-) Thread 2

@Sam8582 thank you hun, I had spotting at 3dpo and 6dpo when I got my bfp was very strange, your not out until af arrives xx

Aww lovely news @amyannx bet you're over the moon 💕

I'm currently 11dpo and spotting a little (just like last month) so pretty sure I'll be fully on later today. This would make my shortest cycle so far, 23 days! Wow! Any other ladies with such a range of cycle lengths?? I've been as high as 33 over the last few months, but usually around 25/26 days. Maybe time to book a check up and see what's what

@Confused678866 yeah I'm much more relaxed now I saw the baby and heartbeat, puts my date to 15th jan, I know it may change by a few days though at my 12 week scan, ooo how exciting your have to let me know how your scan goes! Hopefully you get a appointment soon, mine is next Friday x

@Willow1982 thank you so much xx

@Twinkles18 yes hopefully we will get lucky, you you if not May then June xx
@WantStickyBean last month I was using 2 clear blue opks as once you get a peak on one it stays on the stick for 48 hrs so I wanted another to be able to use the next day, and I ended up having a total of 3 days of peak results! Then after that it went to high then down to low, I’m no expert at all and this might not be normal but thought I’d share with you if it helps xx
@amyannx that’s so lovely to hear, gives us hope xx

@amyannx Hey! Oh wow that's amazing news, I bet you're so relieved. So happy for you.❤️

Nope, no booking appointment! I called them not long ago and she said she had my referral sitting on her desk and she will call me either today or tomorrow as she's waiting for some more appointment slots or something. So hopefully I'll hear something soon.. I'll just keep calling and chasing now though as I'm getting further along and I want to make sure I get the appointment on time. I have my private scan a week today so I'm wishing the next week away! Xx

Thought I would update and let everybody know I had my scan today and saw the baby and heartbeat, measuring 7+3, thanks for everyone's support especially over the last few weeks! Xx

@Confused678866 have you had your date for your booking appointment yet? X

@WantStickyBean My sleep is not consistent either but I still BBT and FF can confirm ovulation. It’s not perfect but I take my temp as soon as I wake up, before doing anything like going to the loo etc. If you are able to, it may be worth giving it a go.

@AllyCat31 thank you, that's really helpful. I can't do BBT as my sleep's not consistent enough so I've no idea when (if) I actually ovulate.

Hey @WantStickyBean I normally continue to track my LH with OPKs till it goes back to negative and cross match it with my BBT chart. Normally I get a peak which lasts about 48 hours then as the LH is almost back to zero my temp spikes.

Forgot to attach my chart pic! I’d forget my head if it weren’t screwed on right now!

Busy couple of days! Hope everyone’s doing good and getting BFPs

I have no idea what’s going on with my cycle any more...my chart took another dive yesterday, and when I checked my cervix there was some pale brown stringy cm, so I figured AF was on her way (normally my temp falls slowly, not a rapid one day dip, but wouldn’t have been the first time).

Now today it’s shot back up again...I had a trace of brown when I wiped, so checked my cervix again and got quite a bit of stringy dark brown cm no (red or pink in sight).

I never have temp dips like this, and when I spot/cervix-check at this point in my cycle there’s usually some pink...I know brown means old blood - could it possibly be from implantation when I had the first dip? I don’t want to get my hopes up...

AF isn’t actually due until Friday...still haven’t located the box I packed all my tests in for the move, and no time to go buy more as Ned to finish unpacking essentials before work tomorrow no POAS for me yet...

Hi everyone! I’ve had some time off, congratulations to all of the BFPs this month, I haven’t had time to catch up.
And anyone who didn’t get their BFP in may, I hope June is our month 🤞🏼X

I'm a bit confused ladies, can you help?

I've never bothered continuing to test OPKs after my first positive in a cycle. But after my static smiley yesterday I then did a cheapie yesterday afternoon and this morning and they're both positive - and even stronger than the one yesterday morning.

I thought the LH surge was really short, why is mine still peaked?

AF properly arrived today ! I had 3 days of light bleeding last week which I have no idea fear that was! I came off the depo injection in April so maybe it's my body getting back to normal. I'm a bit gutted but il b hoping out for June 🥺 wish everyone luck this month too ! Xx

Currently on CD9 of cycle 3 holding out for June to be my month 🙈
Same as you @Willow1982 in feeling more educated with every month.. fingerscrossed for us all 💕

*tracking

Saving my seat on the June bus too. CD12 so now in supposed fertile window. Just got to get around to DTD at some point when we have energy! Had the Pfizer jab last week so teaching OPKs to see if ovulation day comes

Hi everyone I’m a newbie here hope it’s ok to hop on, I’m 12 DPO TTC number 1 first month trying ‘properly’! bfn yesterday and today using FRER (promised myself I won’t test early next month) - so I think I’ll be booking a ticket for the June bus too, best of luck everyone xxx

@Twochews78 I’m hopeful for June, I feel each month I get a bit more educated with it all, I’m going to try and be more relaxed too, with a nice holiday at the beginning of the TWW hoping that will help as I won’t take tests away with me!! Iv heard of that yoga with Adrienne before Iv heard it’s good, I started a local class a couple of years ago, now we do it via zoom every Monday, it’s just an easy beginners class, nice and light! I’m going to look up that Facebook page, sound good!! Hope your well xx
@Sunshine8888 thank you, and wow good restrain not testing yet!! Fingers crossed for you xx🍀
I’m now cycle day 2 just enjoying a week of not peeing on opks and not stressing about when things are happening!!
Hoping the June bus will be a lucky one for us all xx🍀

Save me a space on the June bus please!

@Gummybear17 Sex after a mc can be very difficult indeed. So is sex for ttc. Although I initiated sex after my mmc, I struggled too. And it’s ok.

@dunkedbiscuit I love TWGGE! They’ve really helped me after my mmc. And not just with the mmc but the feelings that come after. I also love Zoeadelle.

Welcome @Gummybear17 - so sorry to hear you’ve had a tough time. That June bus better be kind to us all 💕

@Fiep that’s a great summary, thanks for sharing! So true

Hope you enjoyed your birthday drinks 🥳

Ahh sorry AF has arrived @Willow1982. Let’s hope the June bus is kinder to all! Glad you feel ok after vaccine as well. I have mine coming up next week

Hello, have been away so will read back to catch up. 12DPO here, on cycle day 31, with tests sat in the bathroom which I have so far ignored! No symptoms here so no temptation to test. Just waiting for AF to arrive really which is predicted 2 June but who knows as not sure how long my cycle is
