June Bus anyone?!

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! Smile

Hi sophiebear perhaps download ovia and use it everyday to track things. I've read that it's a good idea to dtd every other day and make sure you do it as much as u can in the 5 days leading to ov and a few days after xx

Writerwannabe83 · 27/05/2016 20:56

What contraception were you using sophie as sometimes that can affect how quickly/slowly a woman gets pregnant.

Are you using OPKs?

FriendlyGhost · 27/05/2016 20:58

I was a 32b but pregnancy and breastfeeding put them up to a 34dd! I'm not sure what they are now. They've deflated a lot and not as pert and my lovely dainty bras still don't fit. I remember my DH looked at my boobs before my bfp and said that I was definitely pregnant. They doubled in size overnight!
It's interesting to hear about boobs getting bigger during ovulation. My nipples were really tender at the beginning of this week (and they're usually like rubber). I wonder if that was why.
Barefoot that made me laugh! I love that we have no idea of each other's names or what we look like but we know intimate details of when we dtd and the condition of our lady parts Grin

Oh writer (not sure how to make you bold, sorry!), it's nice to have a testing buddy!

So, my PMS symptoms are sore/swollen/heavy feeling boobs and being irritable (poor DH!). Annoyingly they have arrived at exactly the same time as they do every month, but I am still trying to be hopeful that they are pregnancy symptoms! Did feel mildly nauseous for a bit earlier today but I'm fully aware that I may have imagined that a little bit!

Is testing pre AF anticipated arrival a good idea? I was going to try and hold out and test if AF is late...

Eva30 · 27/05/2016 21:12

Hey all!
I'm 30yo, TTC#1, cycle 2, cd10.
wibblewobble I've found basal temping really useful, it dips just before ov and AF (if not pregs). Can get a cheap thermometer on Amazon, mine was £4, bargain

Eva30 · 27/05/2016 21:14

allaboutthecake people seem to get BFP's at different times, some show up at 7dpo and others don't get them til AF is late, I love POAS, whether it be pg test or ovGrin

Eva30 · 27/05/2016 21:16

sophie someone on another thread with a BFP said gp said DTD from cd10 to cd21 - I'm going with that this cycle, DH best get some rest haha

I'm afraid we can only be testing buddies if you agree to test from 7dpo Grin Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 27/05/2016 21:18

allaboutthecake - if you want to make a name, or a word bold turn all you have to do is put an asterisk (*) immediately before your text and then immediately afterwards.

For example, to put my name in bold you would write writer but without the gaps between the asterix and text Smile

Allaboutthecake13 · 27/05/2016 21:25

Thanks writer.

TBH, having spent much of my month POAS with OPKs, why not start with the testing at 7dpo?! I'm in!

Eva that's really helpful re temping. I've been doing OPKs and tracking CM for a few months in preparation for TTC but have held off temping because it's an added faff in the morning (and I get up 40mins earlier than DH) but if no success this month then I might give it a go.

Writerwannabe83 · 27/05/2016 21:35

allaboutthecake - so Sunday morning for first testing??

Allaboutthecake13 · 27/05/2016 21:45

Deal writer!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/05/2016 21:51

Yay - I will be up at 6am as I've got work on Sunday so watch this space.

When I was pregnant in February I got my first squinter on a Saturday morning, immediately before I had to leave for work and I was on Cloud 9 all day Grin

SophieBear13 · 27/05/2016 22:05

babydances Thanks- I already have Ovia, I've been using another app Clue for just under a year and then Ovia for the last few months. It's great. Except it keeps nagging me to do a test and I already have AF. So that's a bit rubbish too look at! I do love both apps though.

writerwannabe I haven't been on any contraception for the last few years, before that I was on the pill. We were using the FAM method. I have bought some OPKS so hopefully they will prove usual! I did try tracking my BBT last cycle but it was all over the place for some reason...

Eva Haha gosh that sounds tiring!! Will give it a go. How long until your FW?

Eva30 · 27/05/2016 22:14

sophie haha I know, not sure I'll manage that but will give it a go! 2 days until fw for me.
Have just moved house ("project house" God help me) and very stressed with work so keep having to remind myself to stop stressing no good for TTC. Managed to DTD yesterday and today so not doing bad so farSmile

haveacupoftea · 27/05/2016 23:52

CD4 today, cant wait to FW week Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2016 06:45

6dpo and still having crampy and twingy sensations on my left side now, that's been 3 days of it now.

I read somewhere that even before implantation it's very common to get twinges and cramps as it's the uterus preparing itself for the fertilised egg!

I'm clearly pregnant, haha Grin Grin

Sunshineface123 · 28/05/2016 07:07

Exciting seeing people with some early symptoms, fingers crossed for the first BFP on here soon! Anyone got a good app which can track temps? I'm using ovia but only tracks in Fahrenheit and my thermometer is in celcuis Smile

LilySnape · 28/05/2016 08:37

According to ovia im in day 31 of my luteal phase and my period is 1 day late Confused after the MMC last month im not sure when its going to show up

MrsGsnow18 · 28/05/2016 08:57

When is your test day writer?
According to ovia its my FW. CD19 and no positive OPK yet but dtd every other day and will begin every day if DH can take that!
Will really need some new ways to seduce him! Last two times we dtd he couldn't finish, think he feels the pressure a bit now to perform on demand!

FriendlyGhost · 28/05/2016 10:35

Excited to hear about the testing!
On cd 18 here. I think if I ovulated this month it's happened already as 24 hours with no cm. I hope dtd last Sunday and Wednesday was enough. Definitely no symptoms yet!

wispaxmas · 28/05/2016 12:27

Hi everyone, just checking in to mark my place to cheer you all on!

Writer, I remember you from the TTC buses back in 2013!! Shock

babydances · 28/05/2016 12:40

I've been watching my cf like a hawk, it's all very interesting! I've gone from EWCM to creamy so I think that was the end of my ovulating!

MrsGsnow18 · 28/05/2016 12:59

Are you using opks babydances?
I'm struggling with working out CM. I really can't tell what's what.

Tryingtowait · 28/05/2016 13:21

sunshine I use fertility friend.

Enjoying the sunshine today while ds is in the sandpit. Thought the tww would get easier as the months went onbut cycle 6 and I'm still symptom spotting like anything, still a week until I can accurately get an answer
