May bus

[Paddypaws91]

Hi everyone 👋

Can't see a May bus, so thought I'd start one up!

A little bit about me...

TTC: #1
Age: 28
Cycle: 5
CD: 5
AF/BFP due: 10th May

This cycle I'm making a real effort to take my pre-conception vitamins EVERY day and going to use Pre-seed this cycle too.

Come on in and share your stories, symptoms and if needed, vent to your heart's content...

[Paddypaws91]

@Savvysaz Is it possible your DH may not be hungover on O day? Could greet him with a McDonald's, a berocca and some sexy undies? Give him a couple of hours and he may not be feeling so hungover? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know how you're feeling though, it is very frustrating when you miss your window (happened to me last couple of cycles).
Good luck! Hopefully he's not too hungover!

Hmm I think I ovulated yesterday 21st. Last time we dtd was the 18th. I guess theres a chance. I am cursing DH as he put DS in a thick grobag so DS woke boiling hot and wouldn't settle once I took him out. Sigh.

Savvy I would go with others suggestions to pull out all the stops on the 5th. By the afternoon he may be OK??

[Rubberyduck]

Thankyou @helpasisterout 😊 AF is due 5th. I am taking this way to seriously this month I think. Stupid me has worked out a January baby would be PERFECT. But its month 1 so I need to reign in my expectations!!!

[mylittlebunny]

I am heading out today to by OPK. I had went out yesterday but forgot everywhere was closed for Easter.

My DH couldn't understand why I was so keen to get them. I miscarried 7 days ago and the bleeding has stopped so I want to use them to get my dates and days back on track.

It's funny how you become so fixed on knowing all these details.

[Tropicana1]

I'm in the same boat as a couple of you by the sounds of it - we DTD on the 18th and ov was 2 days later so not really feeling at all hopeful this cycle!

[Savvysaz]

@paddypaws91 😂 I can certainly try! He has horrific hangovers these days.

[Peachyx2505]

@Savvysaz I think that's my predicted ov date too and I'm working nights on the 3rd 4th 6th and 7th! It's going to be very hard timing it this cycle again...! Hoping I ov earlier like last month.

🤞 that hubs isn't too hungover for you xx

[mumofbun]

Jumping on! And can i say from what i've read so far, this seems like such a friendly board!

TTC: #1
Age: 31
Cycle: 4 i think
CD: 16
AF/BFP due: 3rd May

Like that everyone is sharing positive things they are trying this month - i stayed away from the boards from my last AF until now as i'd felt quite down but there are a lot of things i've read here that i might try if this cycle is unsuccessful!

[Paddypaws91]

Welcome @mumofbun !

I know what you mean, I took a break from the boards for a bit when I was feeling really low. It's always worst the first few days of AF.

I find these boards really valuable for support each cycle I try something new and set short term goals to keep from obsessing over TTC.

Good luck, not too long to wait until your BFP/AF day!

[mumofbun]

@Paddypaws91

Thanks! Yeah i'm lucky as i'm early in the dates this month so I don't have as long to wait as others! Fingers crossed for everyone though :)

[MrsMck18]

Does anyone have any tips for trying. I'm totally new to all of this. I'm guessing it's just timing and lots of luck.

I'm in the folic acid and vitamin D

[Paddypaws91]

@MrsMck18 I'm probably the wrong person to answer as I'm TTC my 1st, but I'd recommend downloading an app to track your cycle (if you haven't already).

There are diet plans you and your partner can follow that are supposed to aid conception, just having a little look into that now 🧐

[Paddypaws91]

Think I'm going to give this a go! Love asparagus!!

[MrsMck18]

Thanks @Paddypaws91 this is really helpful. It's all a bit nerve wracking isn't it but also totally exciting!

[Paddypaws91]

@MrsMck18 omg yes, it's totally nerve wracking. As much as you want it, it's still terrifying, an exciting kind of terrifying though ☺️

Good luck!

Hi all, mind if I join? I've been lying low since AF arrived last week and just getting the supplies in for another month TTC - I've just been catching up and it made me laugh that others also took a while to let DH's in on the stockpiling of Amazon products! Mine has stopped asking questions now and just passes me the delivery box when I get in.

TTC #1
Cycle 3
Age 32
AF due 15th May
CD 9

I started pregnacare last month and will continue this month as I've had no bad side effects (although my AF was six days long rather than the two days I've had since stopping the pill, and ovulation came earlier than previously, but these are good things that may or may not be from pregnacare). This month I'm taking a vitamin b & c complex too as someone on another thread was taking them and got her BFP month 1 so clearly if I start taking them then I will also get my BFP 😂

Last month we said we'd try SMEP but got too tired out to do the consecutive days around ovulation, especially as I ovulate late (last month was CD 20 which was shorter than previous). This month I think I'll try to aim more for ovulation by waiting until later to start DTD.

Evening All, hope everyone had a great Bank Holiday.

@Paddypaws91 that looks like my shopping list this week :) I've been looking into fertility boosting foods so I'm giving that a go this month.

[MrsMck18]

What cycle day does everyone usually ovulate? I'm only in cycle day 3 atm I believe. When should I starts doing the OPKs?

[tisonlymeagain]

@MrsMck18 I ovulated CD16, started testing at CD8 because I've just come off the pill. Started testing twice a day from CD13.

[Savvysaz]

I’m usually CD 14 or 15.

Not sure what is going on with my body. I know I ovulated on April 10th, I used clear blue digital opk but started bleeding/ spotting on 10 dpo. I’m feeling very bloated, sick, crampy, and ( so sorry to over share) very loose bowels. So I figure AF just came early but it’s lighter than normal and my Flo app is now saying if AF has arrived then I ovulated on April 6th which I know is wrong given cb opk and CM.... I’m lost 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this just AF?!

[Paddypaws91]

@Savvysaz hmm strange. Was it a proper flow? Red blood? Or could it have been implantation bleeding? 🤔

[birdshavewings]

Hi everyone on May Bus,

I haven't been on here for a while after a busy few months with family stuff.

I'm in a bit of a I'm now on cd35 with no af.... we dtd on cd10 and around 14/15 (on cd 14/15 I did a opk and it said low)
I'm currently away travelling with work on a Far East time zone, I don't know if my body is confused or I should be doing a test?
I don't want to get too excited but boobs are sore but maybe a sign of af coming?

[Paddypaws91]

Hello @birdshavewings how long are your cycles normally? Travel/stress can affect things. Is it possible to get hold of a test?

[mylittlebunny]

@MrsMck18 I ovulated on day 12 last time. I use the OPK when I notice my cervical mucus changing.

[birdshavewings]

Hi @Paddypaws91 my cycles are usually 28, I've had the occasion longer one - max 5 days late. I have looked today but can't see any? Now googling Japanese pharmacies
