May Bus

[Aph413]

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!

Think af on its way 3 days late again 😞 had some spotting yesterday. Got an appointment with dr friday gonna say its been a year cos i dont think two months will make a difference seen as its been ten months since i came off pill x

Alex, just be aware that 80% will get pregnant in the first year and 50% of those who didn't get pregnant in the first year will do so in the second.

In my experience, going to the doctor will not make you get pregnant any sooner. I find havin low expectations helpful, so don't expect the gp to be of any help.

Even ivf has only about a 30% success rate (on average, depends on a range of factors).

I'll be jumping on now I think.

TTC #1
Been trying for nearly 18 mths
Age 28

Was on the April bus but don't think my BFP is coming this month so back on now.

Jumping on here after a possible chemical this cycle (faint positive, then negative the next morning followed by AF).

Age: 31
TTC #1
Cycle: 2
CD: 2
Cycle Length: 29
AF/BFP due: 17th May

We tried SMEP last cycle but I got frustrated with OPKs after a couple of negatives a few days apart and gave up. Looking back now I was just trying to test too early so think I'll have another go this month. Using Natural Cycles to track with temping.

Good luck all!

Hi everyone. We just started trying this month

For those already on it, how's everyone finding their TWW? I promise myself that I'm not going to think about every little twinge but am driving myself insane with symptom spotting. I really need to stop!...

Morning I’d like to jump on top please,

Cycles seemed to have shortened since my chemical in January. Down to 24 days the last 2 cycles after a random long one. Not feeling hopeful this month for some reason but might just be because I’ve been ill for the last week and not really thinking about TTC for what must be the first time this year!

*Jump on too not jump on top 🙈

@puzzlepiece I have literally convinced myself I was pregnant for the last 2 cycles due to symptom spotting. I've now started writing down every single thing that's happened as a reminder that none of it means anything!

@clairehr trying to relax over here. I have an overall 0.6 temp variation over the last few days but assume O will be a bigger one

Symptom spotting is the worst...last month I was so convinced because I started not liking the taste of coffee turns out was just crap coffee

Ha yes I know it means nothing. So hard to not think about it though. I've stopped telling DH anything as a couple of cycles ago I was sure I was pregnant but think I must have had a dodgy stomach! He now isn't listening to me if I mention a "symptom" and doesn't seem to be thinking about it. Wish I could do the same and put it out of my head!

Omg. 8 months ttc and this is my first positive opk. Doubley confirmed with an internet cheapy at the same time, plus loads of ewcm yesterday and today. Can't believe it really.
Also weirdly excited that if nothing else I know my period is due in 2 weeks

@ClumsyFool nowt wrong with jumping on top lol.😂

Just had a dollop of EWCM drop out of me! Sitting at my desk, felt it, went to the loo and there it was! WTAF? Never had that before 😳. Positive opk was last week too. So flipping weird!

@puzzlepiece I'm not in TWW yet but remember the craaazy symptom spotting from last time. I'm determined to be more chilled out this time around but we'll see if that happens.

Hi I’m joining the bus. Sadly af arrived this morning.

TTC#3
Cycle 8 or 9
Cd 1
Age 41
Cycle length 28-31 days

I started on clear blue advanced fertility monitor last cycle combined with starting conceive plus, I was sure last cycle was the month. Well now I’m trying to think of other things I need to try. Wondering about more varied vitamins or supplements I should be taking other than the folic acid? Reading all the Bfps wondering what is the secret lol

@Help I've just switched to folic acid & a b vitamin complex to see if it makes a difference, apparently the multivitamins can affect your cycle? I'm also switching from conceive plus to pre-seed.

@Aph413 so happy you finally have a positive opk. I know the feeling of waiting for that smiley face. I had to wait 60+ days for my last one. Currently on CD20 and nothing yet.

ready4number2 I've spent a small fortune on opks chasing this damn smilie face. It's been so disheartening assuming I haven't been ovulating

@LP17 Thanks. I’ve been looking at cassanovum tablets but not sure if there’s any real evidence for their use. After reading through threads others have tried different things agnus cactus, progesterone cream. Not sure what I should be doing, think after 7 cycles at 41 I should probably go to doctors:(

@Aph413 Are you temping? That's a really clear way of confirming that you've ovulated.

@polkadot I'm waiting on an ovusense monitor since I work shifts my temperature is not reliable. I did try to wake myself up half an hour before my earliest shift start everyday but that is hard work.
I've dtd plenty around this positive opk at any rate. Will probably add one more today for luck and just keep my fingers crossed for my first realistic tww

@HidCat I’ve been too poorly to be jumping on anything lately 😂 that’s about to change though, finally feeling better and fertile window has arrived!

joining the bus AF came late this month

cycle 5

i'm taking part in the clear blue study for ovulation tests, fingers crossed for everyone

@silverpenguin I am trying my hardest not to think about every little thing but I've been feeling awful today. I had a 2 hour nap this afternoon because I feel wiped. I'm probably coming down with something but trying not to think 'what if?...'
