June Bus anyone?!

[Barefootcontessa84]

Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will!

writer if cervix is high and soft then it's a sign of FW. I too had stabbing pains when dtd this morning I'm putting it down to FW and my cervix is high and soft. Sorry to hear that butterpuff. Hope it goes ok. I am now back from our mini break and I only had one glass of wine to be on the safe side. This ttc stuff is not as easier as I always thought it would be. We've dtd most days since I finished my period and according to ovia I am 2 days into my FW and so trying to squeeze as many dtd as I can. However BF is probably thinking it's quite a surprise as in 11 days we've dtd 8 of those days hahaha. Still not sure about my out of date implant that ran out nearly 9 months ago but withy my cervix being high and soft and open I'm hoping that can only mean one thing!

I don't examine my cervix so I have no idea what it's up to but sex was definitely not comfortable last night, it felt like I was being jabbed quite painfully.

DH is currently MIA on what I believe to be the first day of my FW. Supposed to be on his way home from two days away working but nothing since a non-comittal "should be on way soon" about two hours ago.

Does he know it's your FW?

How often do you try and DTD during your FW?

I found out yesterday that a friend of mine is 12 weeks pregnant after going through two years of infertility investigations, procedures and then finally IVF. She's only 27 and she thankfully got pregnant on her first IVF cycle.

He knows he is expected to home a lot over the bank holiday weekend but I don't think I've ever been obvious enough about when the FW is starting. When we first spoke about ttc he said he didn't want "loads of science" so I've tried not to make too much of tracking etc in front of him. I do agree, I don't want to be obsessive (hence holding off on OPKS for the moment). We have still managed to dtd more or less every other day though in my FW so no real complaints.

Great news about your friend.

Having watched stalked these threads for months and months. I decided to take the plunge and join you lovely ladies.

Hi Turquoise, I hope joining the thread is good luck for you.

What a day, poor Nan but Dd is a brilliant cheer bringer. Though she didn't help to start by throwing her porridge on the floor this morning smashing the bowl and then shat in the bath, oh and a screw in the non repairable bit of the tyre cost me £100. Time to wrap it up.

Oh no Butterpuff, sounds like you've been having a hard time! Hopefully things will look up now!

I haven't a clue about checking cervix, see it on ovia app everyday but just don't think I'm ready to actually check everyday!
I tend to go by what I can just feel or anything I can see in my underwear. Not sure if this is as effective?

What a day butterpuff. Hope tomorrow is better. Dd also treated me to a bath poo today if that's any consolation!
Feeling really angry and frustrated with DH who refused my invitation to come to bed because he'd had a couple of drinks. Only a couple and four hours ago so I feel like he's trying to avoid my fertile time. He must know why I suggested it. He's out again on Thursday and Friday so that leaves tomorrow and as I've been turned down the last two nights I sort of feel like it might turn into nagging if I suggest tomorrow. We dtd on Sunday and at this rate we won't get a chance until next weekend so the likelihood of anything happening this month are looking slim. I'm not sure when I ovulate but as I've already had some promising looking cm I suspect next weekend will be too late.

Hi girls,
So confused with the boots ovulation tests. Had been using clear blue and tended to get a positive on about day 18.
I do have a second pink line on my test (day18) but wit is blatantly not as dark as the original line. May it mean I'm close to ov or nowhere near ov?!
Also, I have told both the sonographer and my GP in the last week that I'm concerned that my lutheal phase is not long enough. Both seemed confused at the question and both said it was fine and not to worry. Then I come on here and it's one of the main topics! How can they be so aloof about something thAt seems to be an issue?!
I'm cd18 on cycle 10btw
Attaching a pic of ovulation test!! The more I look the more I think no😳

Morning everyone, AF got me, no surprise as I tested negative at the weekend but still upsetting never the less. I've used clear blue dual hormone opks (purple) for 3 cycles now but wondering whether to stop using them, although I quite like seeing the flashy and then static smiley but they are expensive and I take ubiquinol to improve egg quality which are rather pricey too. To get over the arrival of AF I'm treating myself to coffee and brown toast with Nutella in Costa
writer my dh has been very on/off with the ttc and we've had a couple of serious talks to the point where we nearly split up but in the end it all came out that dh was petrified that he might not be a good dad and he's calmed down and is on board.butterpuff hope today is better than yesterday!
I don't check my cervix,maybe I should... what do you guys do to improve your fertility? Anyone getting acupuncture?

Mbire yeah when I initially had some tests done I asked my GP about the length of my luteal phase as at the time I worked it out to be 8-10 days but she just looked at me as if I was bonkers and told me not to worry. I would have preferred an explanation to the funny look she gave me!

I'm due 2 or 3 June depending on if 28/29 cycle. We are trying for number 2 and have a 3yr old boy already.

Hi princessplod! Sorry to hear that AF came sakura.
I am curious as to how to increase chances of getting pregnant. It's only cycle 2 but I think my poor BF is feeling a little used as we've dtd almost every day and he said knowing its to get pregnant is quite offputting as we usually only dtd 2 times a week if that

Morning all!
Sorry to hear about AF Sakura... Nutella toast is well deserved! I don't do anything to increase my fertility at the moment other than a preconception vitamin when I remember ( and often I forget), and generally trying to eat well and do some exercise. Would be interested to hear what others do.

It doesn't surprise me that a GP doesn't know the significance of a short luteal phase, as I think most won't have done specific training in fertility issues, but funny looks don't help!

I'm frustrated this week as I've been using OVIA to track fertility and it unexpectedly changed the dates of my fertile week yesterday, so that instead of saying I was fertile from sun- thurs, it now says last Thursday to yesterday! This means we only DTD once in fertile week on day 5. We're still going to try every second day this week, but I could cry at the thought of having missed the boat again.

How early after ovulation are we allowed to symptom spot?

How crazy can we be??

Updated stats ladies! Let me know if I've missed anything. Finally on holiday - think I was due to ovulate yesterday - got off a long haul flight so worried time differences/ change in circadian rhythms will mess with things! Any thoughts..?

barefoot - I'm on cycle number 1 for when you next update the stats

Thanks winter!

Sorry writer!

It's lovely there are so many of us. Hopefully this is a lucky thread!
Lucky you going on holiday barefoot. No idea if flights make any difference. I doubt it if you've already ovulated. Hope you have a nice relaxing time. It's a good way to get through the two week wait!
Writer you might get implementation spotting soon if you've been successful. When I got pregnant with my dd my boobs suddenly got massive a few days before af was due. Even DH noticed and knew I was pregnant before I tested. I was in denial! I also realised in hindsight that I had got up to use the loo every night since we conceived. Hope you get some symptoms soon.
Wobble wobble I haven't been using any tests but I'm still really confused too. Every online ovulation calculator I use gives me different fertile dates. My prediction was this Thursday or Friday but then I has some mucus on Monday which looked like the fertile stuff. I just don't know what to believe! I guess with all things they're just an indicator.
I'm going to get my legs waxed this afternoon in the hope that I can tempt DH into bed with silky smooth legs tonight. If not then I think I'm out of the game this month.

friendly it was my boobs that gave the game away last time too. I was so convinced that I didn't see the point in testing, gave in and got the proof more than a week after AF was due!

I was wondering about symptom spotting, had no implantation bleed last time. So im just waiting to see if my boobs start top feel bruised again or not (though to be honest with the treatment they have had from Dd over the past year and a bit they may have lost all sense of feeling!)

I'm not sure how to update the stats but think my ETD may be around the 6th.

Have a lovely holiday barefoot

Can i join too?!

Age 28 (just)
TTC No 1
Cycle 1

1st cycle off the pill, currently on CD15 waiting for ovulation! I had a cycle off pill at the end of last year and it was 37 days so i think this time may be similar!! Based on another 37 day cycle my ETD will be 16th June!

I may be out of June, bearing in mind we were going to start trying in June, that puts my first ETD at 9th July. However, we waited for my FW to end before stopping preventing, then I got Ovia yesterday and it reckons we dtd on the last day of my FW... Doubt it was successful but would be just our luck not to have waited quite long enough... It's my short cycle this month though (in theory) so chances are slimmer, we shall see! Hoping af will come as normal so we can stick to the plan

Hi everyone, this thread is getting busy, yay! let's hope lots of BFP from this bus! That's very strange wibblewobble any ideas why it did that? writer I'm going to try my best to not symptom spot as I was convinced I was pregnant last month and was really disappointed when I wasn't. I was about 10 days late and had all these symptoms and poas loads, it got expensive and then af came
Fingers crossed this cycle is better and less expensive on the sticks!
