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!

Im off to have a weeble do I shall see what CM is there today

5dpo and my stomach is making very strange popping and aching sensations and I've had cramps over the last two days.

Me and my colleague (also friends) are both TTC and we both got our positive OPK on the same day so yesterday we were symptom spitting together and dreaming wistfully about how wonderful it would be if we were pregnant at the same time

Eek - just saw my typo! I'm not "off to do a weeble" and I am in fact "off to do a wee"

writer your posts always make me laugh I'm off to work feeling confident we've given it a good shot. May try and dtd tomorrow and the following day just incase but will continue to tell dp I have already ovulated so as to not put him under any pressure. He told me he agrees not to know for everyone's sakes

I thought weeble was some slang term that I'd missed
I'm also going to keep dtd over the weekend just in case. I had what looked like stretchy cm again earlier. The same as on Monday. My body clearly doesn't like to follow what it's supposed to do! Does anyone know where you can get cheap ovulation tests? I looked in waitrose earlier and they're £19!

I get a pack of 30 for about £5 off Amazon!

Some of the sets come with 30 pregnancy tests too

Oh dear. I told myself I wouldn't get obsessed with testing. It's not going to happen is it?!

I bloody LOVE testing!!!!! I can't wait to start on Monday

I'm going to try to hold out until I'm definitely late. I'm not feeling particularly confident because I'm still not sure if I've ovulated or not yet this cycle. It's so confusing. Looking forward to hearing all the other bfps though!

The way I view it is that when I actually take a test has no impact on wether I'm pregnant or not. If I am, I am and if I'm not, I'm not, whether I take a test at 8dpo or 16dpo won't change that fact

Obviously the early testing will no doubt give negative tests but all that does is make me more excited as I squint for teeny, tiny lines - there's something very fun and exciting in doing that

I have a feeling you're going to be a bad influence on me

Hello lovely ladies, can anyone tell me about basal temps? I mentioned before that I've been measuring on a slightly crappy oral thermometer . I do it first thing when I wake, but my toddler is a crap sleeper, so I may have been woken briefly in the three hours before, and sometimes will have had to get out of bed for a minute or two to settle him, before going back to bed and straight back to sleep. Also I some times forget first thing and may have nipped to the loo before I remember.... At the start of my cycle I was generally 36.2 on waking and for the last 3 days it's been more like 35.9. I'm now day 17 and EWCM has stopped. No rise in temp though. I'm not using opks yet. Do you think this means I didn't ovulate, or could the less that ideal temp checking just be throwing things off? Not feeling too hopeful for a bfp this month so will get some opks for next round.

Wibblewobble from what I've read it could just be inaccurate measurement that is making it look like you haven't ovulated. I think you need a special thermometer which is more sensitive and you have to measure it at the same time each day after more than 3 hours sleep and without getting up first. I haven't bothered as my toddler is also a terrible sleeper so I often don't get the 3 consecutive hours and have to jump straight out of bed to stop the yelling. I think by getting up first sometimes and not always having long enough to rest beforehand you won't be getting an accurate reading. Hopefully that means you have ovulated and you're just not picking it up with the temping. I'm also going to use opks next month as I'm also finding it hard to tell if I've ovulated or not.

Thanks, ghost.... Fingers crossed we won't need a next month!

Wouldn't be lovely if some of us could give our DH/DP the news of a BFP on Father's Day....

Hello all, am new to MN and to TTC!

This is cycle #1 for me, am 5dpo and feeling a bit despondent as an just starting to get the usual PMS symptoms I always seem to get about 7 days before AF (I have a 12 day LP) which makes me think that it's not our month for a BFP, anyhow will wait and see!

Age 27
TTC #1
Cycle #1

I'm 5dpo too!!!

I have a testing buddy

What PMS symptoms are you getting? Could they be signs of fertilisation instead??

Hahaha writer! I think I ovulated yesterday or today. Ovia predicted yesterday and my boobs are huge and painful last night and today and I had that EWCM last night. So shall I say 1dpo?

hey guys been lurking again! Nice to see you again writer good luck to you :)

I'm guessing I'm 6dpo (cd21 of a 'usual' 29 day cycle. I stupidly did a frer this morning as I just felt pregnant! Clearly bfn :/ now I'm having really intense period like cramps which I only normally have the day af arrives so either early af and haven't ovulated this month or God knows what's going on with me.

I wish I knew what it felt like to have huge and painful boobs!!

I would say 1dpo babydances

Hello !
Cheers writer, I'm actually only a 32c but they are spelling out of my bra, I've always had painful boobs once a month and didn't realise it must be when I ovulated. They hurt to take out of my bra!

I'm a 34c but 2 years of breast feeding has stopped them spilling out of anything as they are a bit soft and floppy these days

My DH actually referred to them as "saggy" the other day and I was not amused. He couldn't see why I was offended?! Men!

When I was pregnant with DS I remember the night before I got my BFP I was standing topless in front of the mirror and I said to DH, "Is it my imagination or do my boobs look HUGE?!"

Hi all, sorry for the silence - have barely any signal where we are on hols - just found some so checking in! I'm really worried I haven't ovulated this month, as it's usually pretty obvious when I do (EWCM and the like). This month I didn't really notice any, but wonder whether it's because we've been DTD pretty regularly so I can't tell what's what anymore . I'm pretty sure I would have OV'd a few days ago, but still DTD'ing pretty frequently just in case......

because we've been DTD pretty regularly so I can't tell what's what anymore blush.

I had the same thoughts the other morning when I was examining my underwear for the sake of Ovia

Relax though, there's no reason as to why you wouldn't have ovulated so just keep DTD and enjoy your holiday

Please can I join!

I'm 25, my husband is 26.

2nd cycle.

I have just got AF and feel pretty gutted about it to be honest.

ETD is 20th June!

Any tips for this cycle? We DTD twice during FW because we weren't really trying but I think our timing was off and we have decided we would like to actually try this cycle!
