June Bus anyone?!

991 replies

Barefootcontessa84 · 02/05/2016 22:59

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!

friendly ghost he sounds a bit like my DH, he doesn't really take hints either (generally in life as well as why I wanted him home early this week). I also keep forgetting how much I need to spell stuff out for him which is where most if not all of our misunderstandings come from.

We never normally dtd a lot in the week though, one or both of us is normally either working or out until late and then I'm normally up early for work. I'm not used to these late nights and finding myself a lot more tired than normal trying to fit in as many opportunities as possible.

happybus28 · 26/05/2016 07:43

I'm in the same boat as you babydance my DH is freaking out about it too! He anticipated he would feel this way though, he's a bit of a worrier in all aspects of life! We are taking the approach of me not telling him when I'm fertile and not really discussing it in too much detail (unless he asks) so he just feels like everything's normal. It's hard though. We normally only DTD a couple of times a week so he is aware that has increased!!

Try not to be too upset, it's all we women think about and consumes our every waking thought but it's not like that for men. Im sure if you sit down with him tonight and have a chat about what's worrying him you will sort things out

Sakura03 · 26/05/2016 07:56

babydances sorry to hear your upset over dtd not happening, when you most want it, I ve been there and it's so frustrating and upsetting. I think you need to have a chat with your dh, maybe her doesn't need to know exactly when you're most fertile as long as he is happy to bd when required? My dp doesn't know because it puts a lot of pressure on him and in the early days of bd it freaked him out. But you'll need to have a chat as this not fair on you so hopefully you can agree on a compromise. Good luck

Sakura03 · 26/05/2016 08:07

CD2 here, so boring. The anniversary of my mc is coming up soon. On the 28th it's been a year, at the time I was told/read that a lot of women fall pregnant soon after a mc so I was so upset when it didn't happen and I still get upset every fricking time af shows... I'm off on holiday to Italy on Saturday so at least for a week I won't be thinking of this baby making malarkey but as soon as I'm back I most definitely will be!

karryk · 26/05/2016 08:38

Hello all - I'd like a seat by the window please

Minty - you're a spring chicken compared to me.. I think I'm officially the oap on the bus at the moment :) lol x

Age: 38 (39 next month...gah!)
Ttc: number 1
This will be cycle 6. I've had a chemical pregnancy and a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks thus far. Started trying again in January but had to take a couple of months break as started treatment for immune system issues :)

Af is imminent so I won't be testing until later in the month, probably around my birthday the only thing I'm not looking forward to is that the end of June was supposed to be my due date for the little bean we lost....I think I might have some shaky days

Wishing everyone lots of luck x

FriendlyGhost · 26/05/2016 09:53

Sorry for your losses Sakura and Karry
Sorry your dp is being rubbish babydances. I felt exactly the same on Tuesday night. The good thing is that you've dtd a lot on other days so you're in with a good chance. I had to spell it out and get sulky with my DH last night too. I snapped and said 'do you really want me to wait another bloody month before we can try again?' and he said he hadn't realised it worked like that. He would know if he listened. I don't think he likes the pressure either but he knows how important this is to me. Last time I made sure I just suggested dtd a lot even when I wasn't fertile so DH didn't guess. You could try that? This time it's much harder to find the time and we don't dtd anywhere near as often so I've had to be more specific!

Writerwannabe83 · 26/05/2016 15:33

Oh babydances

My DH hadn't realised the importance of well timed sex as he thought pregnancy could occur at anytime as if there was an egg sitting there 24/7 for the entire month, but once I explained about the egg only living for 12-24 hours, once a month, he understood why regular sex at a certain point of the month was so necessary.

You say he's said that he's not having sex because it scared him that you could get pregnant which doesn't sound like something a guy who wanted a baby would say? Is he really eager for a baby or is he quite indifferent to the idea?

I'm 4dpo now and since yesterday I haven't stopped weeing! I wee'd 4 times in 5 hours yesterday and I keep having to go to the loo at work today too. When I was pregnant with DS my first indication was constantly needing a wee. I'm also having a few pelvic aches and crampy sensations.

I love spotting imaginary symptoms

LilySnape · 26/05/2016 15:46

Bfn for me
found out my BMI for my height is way lower than it should be im about 2st underweight i reckon I've solved the fertility mystery doc's tomorrow

carrotcakecupcake · 26/05/2016 16:31

Lily good luck with the doctor
writer I've been wee'ing all day today too! And smelling things that everyone else can too!

babydances · 26/05/2016 16:37

Thanks for everyone's replies. He isn't mega eager but happy to have one as he knows it's important for me and got out dd to have a sibling. He said hounding for dtd just to get pregnant put him off. Clearly I need to sexy it up a bit rather than use him for his sperm

babydances · 26/05/2016 16:59

Found this on different types of CM and what they mean

MrsGsnow18 · 26/05/2016 19:22

Oh thanks babydances! I kept meaning to look up some sort of guide on CM. I've sort of been skipping recording it on ovia app. I think what I thought was EWCM probably wasn't!

Wibblewobble100 · 26/05/2016 19:56

Interesting baby dances!
Reading that, I'm not sure I've ever recognised egg white cervical mucous. I mentioned earlier that Ovia changed my fertile time... I think that's cos I recorded EWCM for 4 days.... I didn't realise most people only get it for 1-2 days... Now I'm wondering if what I think is EWCM is actually sticky stuff... TMI warning, It's whitish rather than clear and quite jelly like but definitely stretchy.

babydances · 26/05/2016 20:28

I would deffo record on ovia, I've been recording two months now and seeing a trend in what's happening and the clues. For example this time last month I have the same symptoms.

FriendlyGhost · 26/05/2016 20:29

Exciting times with the symptom spotting. Hopefully some bfps soon!
I don't think I've been recognising the mucus either. I had a lot of the long clear stringy stuff on Monday. Perhaps jelly like is a good description for mine too wibblewobble. Since then I would probably describe it as watery and there doesn't appear to be any this evening. So presumably that means I've ovulated already? That's assuming I am actually ovulating at all. We dtd on Sunday and Wednesday so if I have already I hope that will have done the job.

Writerwannabe83 · 26/05/2016 20:47

I'm having watery CM too, I kind of thought that everything would have dried up after ovulation?!

MrsGsnow18 · 26/05/2016 21:51

How is everyone checking theirs? I am only going by what I can see in underwear really which is why I think I might miss EWCM. I do sometimes just feel like it's water though so I put that on ovia.
I think I may have messed up my ovia a bit though with possibly a few symptoms that I just imagined.

haveacupoftea · 26/05/2016 21:52

I am going to start using OPKs for the first time...tomorrow is CD4...what day should i start testing?

Writerwannabe83 · 26/05/2016 22:28

I check my CM by what's on the tissue paper after wiping from a wee and I find it's really obvious to spot EWCM that way.

If I think something looks like EWCM I tend to pick it off the toilet paper and see if it stretches in the same way EWCM is supposed to

Writerwannabe83 · 26/05/2016 22:29

haveacupoftea - I tended to start using OPKs on CD14 which was about 7 to 8 days after my period had finished.

babydances · 27/05/2016 07:30

Well last night the EWCM arrived and I was so excited as it must mean I am ovulating! Woke up and boobs feel so painful. Dtd however was difficult as dp kept loosing his h***on. So this has taught me to never discuss my FW with him !

babydances · 27/05/2016 07:33

writer may sound gross but if u put your finger inside and reach up high u will feel something circular like a mini donut shape! It's the only way I can describe it! If you google cervix pictures u will see what it looks like and no what to feel for

Writerwannabe83 · 27/05/2016 08:37

I'm too queasy for that

FriendlyGhost · 27/05/2016 08:42

Hope he still managed to do the job babydances!
I always just check cm when I wipe. There's none at all today so I must have ovulated around cd 14. I know that this is normal but my cycles are usually 30/31 days so I thought it would be today (cd17). Now to start spotting imaginary symptoms!

babydances · 27/05/2016 08:50

Yes he did friendlyghost poor man. Think he is feeling the pressure to perform!
