Toot toot May Bus

[popcorndiva]

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

@Skyla01 I have no idea! Last months cycle was 46 days long. I’m not testing at all until I’m significantly “late”, whenever that will be...

@Runnergirl1 there’s hope, I got a positive opk at cd27 once so you never know! I haven’t tracked, though I think it MAY have happened on the 14th based on cm and cramps. I’m also wondering if the cramps I had a day ago were ovulation, really really late ovulation. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m just going to keep waiting haha

Finally!

@positivetime you get the flashing smile when it detects a rise in oestrogen. It will then turn static when it detects a surge in LH. The advise is to test with FMU ten days after your last period started. Then dtd every other day until it turns static or 10 days before your next period

Hope that helps

Wow that’s a long time @Newbie0818, have you taken a pregnancy test just in case?

@HopefulRobertsons66202 🥳whoop whoop!

Hi! Hope you don't mind me jumping in, I just wanted to ask @HopefulRobertsons66202 a quick question :) was that a static smiley or flashy? I've had 7 days of flashing smilies so far and I'm getting a bit fed up!

It was static!! It took three days of flashing to finally get a static

@Newbie0818 we don’t have a choice do we, just have to keep going and hope for the best.

Does anyone know, can Your Opk just spike all of a sudden - the apps are guessing Monday/Tuesday now but very very negative one today x

@Newbie0818 I really hope that was ovulation for you on 14th! If so not too much longer to wait... I'm with you on the not testing early.

@HopefulRobertsons66202 exciting!!

Exactly @Runnergirl1 what will be will be. The world is a weird place right now anyway without all of this stuff.

@Minster2012 I haven’t as I can’t face the disappointment. I don’t “feel” pg tbh. I’ve peed on an opk today which was negative just to get the urge of poas out of my systems 😂 it was negative, so surely I’m not pg as it would have picked up?

@skyla01 me too! Although the idea was to NOT get pg this month haha.

@HopefulRobertsons66202 thank you - my flashy looked quite close to your static this morning, so 🤞mine will move to static soon. Good luck! x

Well my usual Saturday routine of 'clean the house, bath, glass of something alcoholic' has gone out the window this week 🤣 still cleaned and had a (warm not the usual boiling hot) bath but now what to drink that still feels like a treat 🤔 this TWW is killing me, just want it over with one way or the other then can get going again!

@Newbie0818 I don’t know, is LH the same as HCG? Would an OPK pick up pregnancy? I’ve no idea

Ladies today I have some fertile cm!!!!

My opk at 11am was high but only just (29 for anyone familiar with the femometer app) and I didn't have any fertile cm but this afternoon its changed so I'm guna do another test next time I need the loo.

@runnergirl1 I was losing hope too and actually feeling really defeated by it all... But I'm cd29 today and I see a glimmer of hope. I agree with @newbie0818 the works is a wierd place and our bodies are reacting to it... Ovulation can be delayed due to stress and I certainly an sensitive to it. As you've both said - we can only do what we can do. Patience & positivity is all we can ask for at the moment... And support from all these wonderful ladies who we are all sharing this journey with.

I'm feeling positive again girls... Bring on the positive OPK & BDing 😉💕🥂

Well apparently they can @Minster2012 but ofc everyone’s body is different.

So it’s negative, but now I’m confused as it’s darker than my usual negative opk’s 🙈 and this was quite a diluted wee. I hate my body sometimes haha! I might do another one later just in case.

@Newbie0818 I think ovulation sticks can detect pregnancy but I don't know how or when in the cycle it would show up etc

AF arrived today so I’m transferring from April to May bus. Think I’m going to invest in one of the CB ovulating kits as I used cheapies this month and found it a bit too much guess work.

@Ltay2 this is going to sound strange but if you like pimms there's a recipe I had with slimming world. Sounds gross but is yum and I had it when pregnant with ds1.

A jug of pimms =

1litre lemonade
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Usually mint, orange, strawberries etc.

Yum yum yum

@babyG123 Ohhh that actually sounds amazing!! Will definitely give that a go sometime once I've got everything needed!

@Ltay2 I don't think a drink or two during the tww does any harm. I used to avoid alcohol but quite a few cycles later decided not to bother abstaining anymore...

@Sausage1990 your very true there. I think I would go completely nuts if I didn’t have all you lovely ladies on here keeping me sane by not being the only one going through this. I’ve had a 30before but still think that’s very low as it goes upto 79. Fingers crossed we get there though. Rooting for you x

@Skyla01 I'm not banning myself completely, don't think I'd keep it up! I'm just going to try and abstain as much as possible, I'm not a huge drinker anyway and my OH only drinks beer at home so it's all we've got in and I can do without that quite easily.

@Skyla01 I agree- I was complete wasted the first month I was pregnant with DS1 as didn't find out until later with our little surprise. (Not advising this 🤣)

Saying that he is a little wild at times 🙈

Yeah @runnergirl1 it is still quite low but higher than the last few days so I'm hoping it will start to climb the next day or 2 and that I get my peak soon🤞🏻

I'm with you @newbie0818 mine like yours still negatbut darker than usual. Finger crossed for us for this late ovulation xx

OH swears I'm pregnant but I think it's lock down 🤣

Last pregnancy I was just doing stupid things all the time deodorant in the fridge etc.

This last week I've (1) put the babies dinner in the oven, set a timer. Gone to get it out and it's still raw as I didn't turn the oven on. (2) got angry the toaster is broken but havent turnt the switch on. (3) made a Sunday roast..... today..... Saturday. 🤣😱
