May Bus

I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

@LookingAtTheStars89 I'm good. Had Pre Op on Wednesday. Op is a week on Tuesday eek! How's the Clomid

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/05/2018 21:14

@Spottyyellowdress. I get the double chin thing!

@xLauraa. Eeek! You'll be fine though x x The clomid is ok. I've had leg cramps, a bit of bloating and wind Blush and a bit of nausea but it's not like in your face all of the time kind of thing. It's made my period a bit different, it's kinda gone to like brown light blood.

If I don't get a bfp this month then I am having the same tests as you. They phoned on Thursday.

Spottyyellowdress · 05/05/2018 21:17

@lookingatthestars89 it’s horrendous this month - I can’t get my wedding ring off!

EverythingNow · 05/05/2018 21:33

@beanybaby, I have the thermometer by the bed but I’m not great at remembering not to move and take it as soon as I wake up!

I will try though, anything’s worth a go

goneswimming · 05/05/2018 22:33

I'm on the sixth day in a row of flashing smileys on the clearblue dual opks! What on earth is going on with my hormones?

Aph413 · 05/05/2018 22:35

@goneswimming I'm sure that the smilie keeps flashing until you get your surge. I know it's expensive but habe considered testing more than once during the day as that's the only way I caught my surge

Congratulations on all the bfps. I've tried my best to catch up but as I'm away on holiday and have a 4 year old to entertain its proved difficult.
AF arrived on Friday for me. I'm fine with it tbh at the moment. Only first month and last time we were very fortunate to catch first time so I'm reminding myself not to stress about it.
First time I had implantation cramping and then tested positive at May Bank holiday after severe heartburn (which I never ever get) yet this time it was usual AF symptoms before she showed right on schedule.
The worst thing is AF on holiday. At the age of 32 I still feel uncomfortable about it and throw a beach holiday into the mix and bleurgh! Hoping it's a short one and then can get back to holiday fun.
Next AF is due at end of May so technically another chance this month so I'm now
Day 3
Cycle 2
Ttc # 2
Cycle ranging from 23-28 days

HidCat · 06/05/2018 09:06

@helloworld88 congratulations! Reminds me of Phoebe in Friends😁

@Aph413 that's a good faint line on a normal sensitivity test in my experience and then the free to back it up. Congratulations!

Good luck to everyone testing in the next few days!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 06/05/2018 09:14

Huge congrats on the bfps everyone and good luck to @xlauraa and anyone else who I've missed. Ooh fx for testing @clumsyfool! Sorry af arrived @frizzy1986 but glad you feel OK about it. Enjoy the holiday!
Just doing some mumsnetting while DH gives DS breakfast (we try and each have a lie in day at the weekends) but need to get up soon I guess. Off to see a live screening of a ballet at the cinema later so that'll hopefully keep my mind off the tww! Five dpo today eek.

goneswimming · 06/05/2018 09:14

Solid smiley this morning!

Spottyyellowdress · 06/05/2018 09:26

Right my finger’s swollen to the point my wedding ring is well and truly stuck and has been for 24 hours now. Tried twisting, lubing it up with various things, floss, elastic...it’s going nowhere. Any advice? Fucking pms.

Wingingit321 · 06/05/2018 09:29

Cd24 and I have pink/red spotting. Would love to think it’s implantion bleeding but I really doubt it. Another early period, another messed up cycle. Stupid pcos. This doesn’t make sense. I have a positive ovulation test on Monday. Stupid hormones

jaykaydee · 06/05/2018 09:43

@goneswimming Have fun ;)

ready4number2 · 06/05/2018 11:15

Congratulations @Aph413

Also, greats news on the solid smiley @goneswimming

How is everyone doing? Hope you are enjoying the sunny bank holiday. I'm now 7dpo, had some light spotting yesterday afternoon, which seems to have stopped now. A bit of a dull ache as well. I could just be symptom spotting. Temp has steadily increased as well. Going to try to hold out testing until Saturday.

HidCat · 06/05/2018 12:20

@Spottyyellowdress yikes! If you haven't got it off yet try the string trick. You wrap a thin piece of string fairly tightly around your finger just next to the ring, and you should be able to slide the ring over.

CD 2 here, got lunch with the fam and a baby shower this arvo (outside). Going to be a good day.

charliefarli · 06/05/2018 13:39

Hi All
Im jumping on the bus too.
Age: 31
TTC: 1
Cycle: 1
CD: 10
Cycle length: dont have a clue!

Just started TTC completely confused by CM and all that jazz.
Coming off the POP- think I had a period about 3 weeks after stopping pill hopefully going to start ovulating soon. Hope it doesn't take too long to come back! Good luck everyone!

Spottyyellowdress · 06/05/2018 14:34

@hidcat I’ve just had to have it cut off!!! 😢

Babybeany · 06/05/2018 16:13

Anyone else feeling guilty about the amount of sunshine drinking they have participated in? Nope, me neither! 🥂💖🦋

FrowningFlamingo · 06/05/2018 17:42

I can't actually remember if I posted on the thread to start with. Will catch up on the recent happenings this evening! I've been in holiday for two weeks so not been checking in.
Just in case: 30yo, cycle 7, TTC #1
I think I have started spotting though I'm only 8 dpo according to clue. AF should Not have been due until 11th. Any chance it could be implantation?! Clutching at straws here...

Babybeany · 06/05/2018 17:45

Welcome aboard @FrowningFlamingo Hope you enjoyed your hols? Hopefully you relaxed enough to let a sticky beam happen... Fx for you x

EverythingNow · 06/05/2018 19:04

Definitely not me @babybeany I’m loving the sunshine drinks!

HidCat · 06/05/2018 19:53

@Spottyyellowdress 😳 are you ok? What on earth made your hand swell like that?

FrowningFlamingo · 06/05/2018 20:50

Thanks babybeany I did! Feeling nice and relaxed now so hopefully next month will be our month! Lovely to get back from holiday and have a bank holiday off to recover!!

JustLikeTheySaid · 06/05/2018 21:28

After 6 days of flashing smilies I then got the solid smiley today, complete with javelin arse pain this evening which suggests ovulation. We've been BD lots the last few days so I hope something might happen this month...
