May bus cont....

[Paddypaws91]

Hi everyone

The 'May bus' thread is overflowing, here's a fresh new thread 👍

Keep the BFPs coming 😍

[Savvysaz]

@MeganMama28 yep you spend your life trying not to get pregnant thinking thinking just one time without contraception will result in pregnancy and then you have repeated unprotected sex that is perfectly timed and nothing! If I don’t manage by cycle 5 I might go into melt down

[mrssunshinexxx]

Right think I'm gunna get a test on Sunday and do it on monday... it's dh birthday on Tuesday so IF it was positive I would want to surprise him with something (trying desperately not to get my hopes up too much incase it's bad news )

[Paddypaws91]

Hi everyone

So, feeling quite positive about the whole TTC process today.

I have learnt so much about my body throughout this process and I feel like me and hubby have grown even closer (which I didn't think was possible). I've also never looked after myself so well, the vitamins have boosted my energy levels (I think I was low on iron) and I've cut down on caffeine and alcohol and I'm doing more exercise 👍

I was very low when AF arrived after my last cycle, the lowest I have felt so far, but today I am feeling grateful for the whole process and though I'd share ❤️

Today is CD 15 for me, can't believe I'll be back in the TWW in 2 days time!!!!

Have a lovely BH weekend all x

[MeganMama28]

@tisonlymeagain knowing that you feel the same makes me feel a bit more normal. My friend is also ttc and she made me feel like I was being ridiculous 😞

@Savvysaz yes completely! It's makes me think that I should've come off the pill a lot sooner tbh!

@Paddypaws91 sounds great! Positive vibes will definitely help in the ttc journey! I need to get my mojo back - aspiring to get to that point after I get over my grump this weekend! Fx for you as you enter the 2WW soon! 💕

[tisonlymeagain]

Don't worry @MeganMama28 you're definitely not alone. Don't let others make you feel bad.

Having a glass of wine tonight even though I know I probably shouldn't. Drink until it's pink right?

[MeganMama28]

@tisonlymeagain Thanks 😊 a glass of wine will be fine and helps with relaxation I say! Babies don't use the placenta until near the end of the first trimester so enjoy! 🍷

Laying in bed literally crossing my legs for the fmu agonising over whether to test I bloody bought some clear blues yesterday and now they are in the house I am useless

FYI the clear blue were £4.99 for 2 in b and m which I thought was quite good ?

[Tamalama]

@mrssunshinexxx I totally know how you feel! I totally caved yesterday at 7dpo and used my last first response test that I had from last month. Of course it was a bfn 😕

Since yesterday evening I've had a mild sore throat and feeling slightly heady, just out of sorts really. I read online that this 'could' be a sign of early pregnancy. No sore or tender boobs though, which was one of my strong indicators last time I fell pregnant, so who knows! 🤷‍♀️

We have a b&m literally a 5 minute walk from where we live, I'm so tempted to get some more tests, especially as they're cheap! On the other hand, I wasted so much money on tests last month 😕

[mrssunshinexxx]

@Tamalama oh no :( I haven't tested yet since trying as it's only first month but I have tested previously when I had a scare last year but I can remember that feeling so well when you are waiting for the result.

I didn't cave this morning I'm going to do it tomorrow when I'll be 10dpo so if I am pregnant hopefully it should show by then x

[flossy12]

BFN for me today guys at 10/11dpo, will wait for AF to turn up on the 29th x

[Ilikeyourbeard]

Another bfn on frer with fmu.

AF 2 days late.

Onto cycle 31. Sick of this shit, think I’ll give up

[mrssunshinexxx]

@Ilikeyourbeard
Sorry to hear that but don't give up x

[tisonlymeagain]

@Ilikeyourbeard Sorry to hear that. Not prying but 31 cycles is a long time, have you seen the gp etc?

@flossy12 Could still be too early, keep the faith!

9dpo for me here and my temperature went up again this morning. I'm thinking that from tomorrow/Monday if not pregnant (which I don't think I am) it will start it's decline? Been comparing charts online. I plan to wait until Monday morning to test (mainly because on app puts me at just 8dpo) but may not bother if temps are already going down.

[Ilikeyourbeard]

@tisonlymeagain

Not yet. I had major abdo surgery when dd was 8 weeks, so was told last year that 1.5 years later was still early days. So we’re giving it until after holiday in August before we see gp. Suspect my body just wouldn’t cope and is refusing.

[Tamalama]

Fully stocked up! These should see me through until next weekend! I took one of the clear blue ones just now but got a bfn 😕

[Ilikeyourbeard]

I’m so confused.

Another random splodge of blood earlier, dark old blood though and smaller than Thursday.

No idea what’s going on :(

[tisonlymeagain]

So I totally caved and POAS tonight - nuts as only 8/9dpo but I saw a hint of a line. I don't know whether it's an evap or not and I dismantled the test which I'm sure you're not meant to, but this was a £1 cheapy from the chemist.

It's a real squinter and doesn't photograph well but I think there's a hint of something there? Can anyone else see anything or do I just want it that badly!

I wasn't going to use my FRER until Monday at the earliest. Do I test in the morning with FMU or wait? Help!

[tisonlymeagain]

Ha @Tamalama that would last me about two days!

So confusing for you @Ilikeyourbeard - do you know when you ovulated?

[MeganMama28]

@tisonlymeagain I think I may see something! Would be tempted to use a FRER with FMU if I were you but then again I cave easy! If you can hold out until Monday it should be easier to see if there's a line. Sorry not the most helpful as I've said both to and not to 😂

[tisonlymeagain]

@MegamMama28, of course I caved again...used FRER and FMU as you said and look!

[mrssunshinexxx]

@tisonlymeagain congrats

[Charlotte9876]

@tisonlymeagain that's a line! And a good one for 9/10dpo. Congrats 😊

[MeganMama28]

@tisonlymeagain can definitely see a line now! So happy for you congratulations! 💕

[MeganMama28]

@tisonlymeagain And at 9.5 dpo as well 😉 Amazing! X

[tisonlymeagain]

Thank you all! I'm nervous so won't get too excited yet, and am not going to tell DP until later this week. He's away until tomorrow but we've got our other DC here until then. This would be our first together. We'll be alone Wednesday night and hoping to tell him then and have a darker test.

I know @MeganMama28 Fertility Friend puts me at 9dpo today but based on OPKs I think I am 10dpo.
