May 2021 TTC Bus :-) Thread 2

@AlmostLondoner how many DPO are you if you don’t mind me asking :)

@AlmostLondoner ooh exciting!! Have you got an app that lets you adjust the contrast etc of the image? 😬

@sylvie1001 I tested again and I swear I see a line (super faint,visible when I put my phone further away 😅) it appeared in time not after.

@RockyisMYRhino good luck with testing tomorrow! 😊
@AlmostLondoner you’re not out yet, you might not have implanted yet- think positive 😁 I didn’t test this morning but I’m twitching to poas...I have a feeling I’ll give in either tonight or tomorrow morning!

Thanks for the advice ladies. Think I'm going to tell my DH, get a test tomorrow and see what happens then. Might have to 'be on antibiotics'. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

@Lollipop25 thanks for the add!

@RockyisMYRhino I'm 6dpo today and I'm going to a bbq on Friday. While I'm in the "drink (moderately) till it's pink" camp, I will not drink on Friday. And since it would be very obvious if I decline, I decided to have a cystitis and I don't want to take antibiotics yet so I shouldn't drink and also avoid citrus drinks. I think I will get through with that.

I'm out, AF with a vengeance this morning two days late (changed username)

Thanks for starting the new thread ☺️

AF symptoms hit me with a vengeance yesterday - CD30 today and BFNs so sure she's round the corner.

As I didn't pick up ovulation this month I'm gonna be ON IT for next cycle - gonna try grapefruit juice/Q10/pregnacare as apparently they're supposed to encourage more EWCM and regulate things? Who knows but worth a go and I just want an obvious ovulation!

Have a great day all

Thanks @Lollipop25 x

@Lollipop25 thanks for the tag into the new thread💜

I had cramps and lower back pain yesterday and it felt so similar to oncoming af that i have definitely ruled out my first cycle ttc#1, just waiting for af to show her ugly head!

I have had sooo much CM, going from white to clear & watery the last week but yesterday there was so much that it want just when i wiped (tmi)

It could be what happens before every impending af but i have just not noticed before as ive never tried to get pregnant before this month! Lol

Hiya, I posted on the last thread. I am out this month, done 3 tests, all negative, but haven't come properly on my period (just dribs and drabs, sorry tmi!) but think I will come on today. Just checking in as I would love to be included on the next thread/for my next cycle. Thankyou.

Thanks for the add!

I’m around 11dpo, took a test this morning and it was negative :(

Currently symptom spotting which I know I shouldn’t but I’ve had on and off cramp since around 6dpo, really bad headaches, extreme tiredness, a really dry mouth, heartburn.. probably all just in my head of the fact af is due in a few days x

@RockyisMYRhino I would test and tell your partner maybe 🙄 or check if you can't drink one of those non - alcoholic spirits? Fingers crossed!

@sylvie1001 have you resisted? My morning test was BFN again 😅 might be still early but I think I am out this month.

Thanks for starting a new thread 😀 I am 11DPO and did a cheapie preg test and it was negative, had AF type cramp yday morning but then come afternoon / evening went and felt normal.

Joining the new thread! I’m trying to opk test every day this round to try and catch ovulation.

@1stimer16 ohh ok! Thank you x

@TTCjourneyN if you have only just joined you can only post a pic after 48 hours :)

Oh whoops I forgot to attach photo and can’t work out how I do!! Does anyone know please? X

Hi Ladies!!

Hope you don’t mind me joining your thread : @) .
I am TTC my 1st, came off of contraception in November. Period is due tomorrow. I took a Sainsburies test this afternoon (I know they are so unreliable!)

Going a bit crazy over the result as it look quite blue but it’s much more saturated in one side so my head is telling me it’s most likely an eval line. This pic is also after the time period so it’s darker here than it was initially.

What do you think?!

I had to stop temping for this cycle as I started using a teeth guard for my sleep grinding which made my mouth warmer so temps totally all over the place. Waiting to see if the discharge becomes AF, only time will tell. Suffering sciatica but back issues are normal for me 😒

@Lollipop25 thanks for adding me xx
@Twochews78 I know, I got my peak this cycle at least 4 days later than last month!! It’s so confusing! Would have been good to have stayed at the same point so we could have talked each other out of testing early!!
I would say it depends on how many dpo you are to test, when I did get my BFP it was about 6pm but I have no idea what dpo that was as wasn’t tracking at all!! So it’s possible I’d say, Good luck for when you do test, I’ll have my fingers firmly crossed for you 🍀
No I havnt done temp before, I wouldn’t know were to start, did it help you a lot this month? Maybe I’ll look into it for next cycle....then there’s me saying I’ll be more relaxed haha!!xx

@1stimer16 not sure how many DPO I am. I have irregular cycles and only have been tracking my periods, so according to the app I am due in 5 days, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I've had a horrible head cold for the last few days, but it is likely just a bug that seems to be going around rather than a pregnancy symptom. I have a friend that I always find irritating the week before my period and I haven't found her irritating yet so maybe that's a hopeful sign??

Last time I felt pregnant and knew/suspected before I took my test, but I haven't really felt that yet, so clearly clutching at straws. I'm really tempted to test early, but I only have one test and don't want to waste it!

Thanks for the add! 😊 xx

@Willow1982, thank you!! It’s good they’re normal. It’s funny our periods came at the same time but we’re in completely different days. It just shows how it varies. My boobs are really sore today and feel hot to touch. I’m travelling home tomorrow and will find it very hard to not test tomorrow night. Is 6/7 too late to test?

That sounds like a good plan, I felt a bit more relaxed this month - it’s hard though!

Oh aye, dr Google! I’m at it all the time too, just glad that I’ve been distracted for the last couple of days. Fingers crossed for you too! Do you temp? I’ve been doing it this month and find it very interesting! xx

Thanks for the new thread. CD3 so started my soy iso. Second cycle trying this and no symptoms at all (no bloating or nausea which I’ve heard you can get) last cycle it brought ovulation forward by 10 days so hoping it can have the same effect. Will update when that happens ☺️
