Toot toot May Bus

[popcorndiva]

Thought I would start the May bus as looks like not been successful this month.
TTC 2
Cycle 2

@runnergirl1 gotta have something else to focus on now so might as well!! I like a challenge 😂

@Runnergirl1 I would definitely try and test a second time on the days where you get a high - I wouldn't be surprised if you completely missed your peak otherwise!

Well after a bit of stop start AF has definitely arrived. Knowing my cycle I should probably be on the June bus... However, I'm trying a different folic acid supplement this month, I've bought some OPKs and DH has got himself some supplements too. I've been trying to be very chilled about it all so far but my cycles have been 40 days plus and it's been driving my crazy.

Missed DTD on cycle day 8 cos of a silly argument with the OH. Completely heartbroken that may have messed chances for another month 😥

@Positivetime darling... I know how you feel, only two days ago I had the same problem. But don't put yourself in such a pressure. Cd8 is also very early, you are OK most likely 😘

Can anyone tell me please if you supposed to experience cramps and pains before, during or after ovolution? I assumed that a few hours of intensive pains I always got was exactly when I was laying an egg 🤣 Is that right?
I got my OPK really high last night and today. This afternoon massive cramps and fertile CM. We did what needs to be done and now I have to wait 12 days... AGAIN 🌸

On an honest note, does anyone feel like they get anxious about not having textbook fertile looking cm, obvious positive opks, and everything and then think they ruined their chances this month because they allowed stress to happen. That's me, I feel like I want this so badly that when my CM isn't textbook and I start to get a little anxious that I ruined everything for this month. 😭😅 I have no idea if I actually ovulated this month. I have regular cycles that are about 25-26 days but I can never actually tell if ovulation happened then I start to get disappointed and anxious. THEN I get anxious about getting anxious and feel like I for sure ruined my chances for ovulation due to some stress 🙄🙄

@Adrianoska I have terrible Ovulation pain some months. Last month I remember just running a bath at 11pm to try and soothe myself. 😩

@Adrianoska thank you. Just gonna focus on day 10 onwards. Living in quarantine definitely takes its toll on a relationship!

Re ovulation I used to get quite bad ovulation pain but that doesn’t happen so much for me now which is worrying that maybe I’m no longer ovulating. But that’s just me speculating..

Be interesting to no what CD/DPO is everyone on? I’m on CD19 8DPO!

CD28 10DPO

CD4 AF still here. Trying to be hopeful that this cycle could the one 🤞🏼

Well I’ve got no idea now, thought I was CD11, but now I’m wiping blood. So it seems my MMC from March isn’t finished with me yet. It’s still screwing me over. They said AF would come 4-6 weeks after, I got bleeding at exactly 28 days after but only light for 3 days so thought that was AF, counted from there been tracking & trying from there (as in fully fertile week this week) & now this. This is 6 weeks after so god knows prob out for this one & lots of wasted CB tests FFS

Cd3 and af slowly leaving, not much this month anyway, should I attached any meaning to that? Perfectly normal last month....

CD17 and I think 2dpo just waiting for FF to confirm with my temps 🤞🏼

@Adrianoska I definitely get cramps around ovulation time as well! Keeping fingers crossed for you!

After all my panicking about no positive ovulation tests I got a super dark line today! :D At 9am, which is hours before I usually test because I thought you were meant to test at in the afternoon? Am super pleased though, going to DTD today and hope for the best

@RobinRose I am not 100% sure because I am going easy on the tracking this month but ovulation due early next week. My libido usually goes up around ov time and I was having sex dreams last night- maybe that can be a new sign to look out for along with ewcm!!

CD37, no idea what dpo as haven’t tracked at all this month. Feeling a bit crampy today though.

Hi all, can I join the May bus also please. I recognize some of the names here too. I am CD 25, 12 DPO and had a BFN on a FRER this morning. Cycles averaging lately 25 days but I expect AF between today and Sat, if I don't get AF I will test again then but I have a bad headache today and feel a bit ugh so reckon AF will be here soon.
@HopefulRobertsons66202 I could have written your post (all bar the positive opks cos I havent used them) But I worry that I'm not ovulating and my CM seems to be all over the place! Tried tracking it this month but really not sure whats going on with it. Can anyone tell me what way CM should be before AF or before BFP? Is there a difference? Sorry if thats a bit TMI but I'm so all over the place today. WFH not helping!! xx

I am CD9. Not testing till CD12 as predicted to ovulate around CD16 and CD17. Actually much more relaxed about it this month. Warned DH when he will be expected to be available so I am not nagging him

Also my rhr has shot up today so feels like it's a countdown to ovulation this month woop

Thumbs up to being relaxed!

@Ivoryjane I don't think there is meant to be a big difference. Cm is meant to dry up before AF. There's a website called countdowntopregnancy which has good stats on symptoms & when to test.

@Skyla01 thanks so much! That's my afternoon sorted!! Ha ha!

I agree I thought I was chilled & relaxed last month but I probably need to tone it down another dial or two to try not worry so much. I am very stressed with work at the moment too though and am nearly finished a 2 year part time course so I think there is a lot of balls in the air and I feel no down time. So maybe some chill out time this weekend will help! Thanks all

@Juno231 - was did yesterday but still another negative. Driving me mad, it really is.

Currently cd20 now. I’ve downloaded two more apps and they are both saying Monday/Tuesday ovulation - that’s from input from August so here’s hoping x

@Runnergirl1 ah that's frustrating - fingers crossed for Monday eggs!

Tmi but I had lots of CM yday and thought I'd do an opk (I'm not due to start testing until this weekend). Stupidly forgot the test by the sink where my OH found it and got excited about the two lines thinking it was a pregnancy test! 🤣 Poor sod.
