Toot toot May Bus

[popcorndiva]

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

@MoonW sorry I don't temp myself. I've seen other threads discussing short luteal phase so maybe you'll find some useful info there. I think less than 10days is classed as short, and related to low progesterone levels.

@Positivetime hmm tricky. Why don't you try with normal morning wee this cycle and if you don't have success try something else. You might still get a reading with cb even without holding for as long as it says to.

@MrsLBear sounds like you had a good evening! @Positivetime I usually wake up around the same time you do to go to the loo, so I do my OPK then 😊 I go to bed quite early (I’m an early riser) so plenty of sleep before I do an opk!

EVERYTHING is making me cry today, and I feel like I’m about to rage.
Anyone else ever get like this? What do you do to get out of the funk?

@Newbie0818 I feel like that some days, when ANYTHING OH does makes me irritated and it's so unjustified 🤣 in terms of crying I feel it's best just to let it out and get it over with, it does usually make you feel better as it isn't then pent up emotion.

Yeah @Ltay2 it’s so annoying. I’m not usually like this but just so over everything today. Poor hubby didn’t know what to do earlier lol, I was on the bed in a sobbing mess and he was stood at the end with a plate of food and my phone, left them there, then slowly backed out of the room haha!

@Newbie0818 Haha bless him! At least he had the sense to bring food 😜 hope you are feeling a bit better!

Hey,

Can I join you all? Had a crazy last cycle but AF has finally arrived today so hopping on this bus and hoping for a better cycle this month.

Pretty sure my ovulation was on CD 16, cycles range from 25-26 days so I'm nervous that I won't have enough time for implantation 😩 taking B6 to see if it makes a difference in LP and progesterone. Think I may call the doc tomorrow and ask what they think!

@Newbie0818 🌺🌺😘❤️

@Ltay2 I know haha. I’m ok, got a banging headache (naturally I’m paranoid that I’m getting sick now -.-) and very tired. I’m sure I’ll be back to normal tomorrow.

@Adrianoska thanks 💜

@Newbie0818 - sounds like he did the right thing. Food/phone/ space! Sometimes You just need a down day...I usually make it worse by googling and reading/watching things that make me feel worse! I hope you feel better soon xxxx

I’m day 4 of flashing smiley...🤞

I’m meant to be going on a hen do in 5 weeks time, there has been a lot of chat on the WhatsApp that it might be able to go ahead. Is it bad that I felt panicked lockdown would be over by then!? This group of friends just constant baby chat and it would likely be during my fertile time.. Then I realised I was being a mad woman hoping this corona business would go on longer! I feel lockdown is quite helpful for baby making..we are both in all the time and I have more time to obsess over opks!

@Dixie17 i kinda know what you mean- I love my friends but they all have kids / are pregnant and given that we are struggling ttc it's actually been a little bit easier not having to visit them all. That makes me sound horrible- obviously I'd much rather be able to see them all but it's a bit of a silver lining...

Might be a stupid question but if you DTD more than once a day will it ruin your chances of getting pregnant? Like will the sperm count be really low each time?

@Littlebump2018 I believe its recommended to DTD every other day to let the sperm mature. However if they are a young healthy male it shouldn't matter too much doing it every day.

We are following smep so we did it every other day to begin with, but are now on our 4th consecutive day (OPK peaked the day after we had already done it and you're supposed to do 3 days in a row from then) bloody sick of it if I'm honest hahaha.

@Florence13 sorry AF showed in the end. Our bodies can be cruel making us wait for AF when TTC. But also I'm happy to see you on the bus and I wish you lots of baby luck this month x

@myhappystreak 🤣🤣🤣sick of it 😂 I swear last week I was lying there and thought "never again" hahah!!!

And last night I was sleeping soundly, no need to TTC on 3dpo..my husband came to bed all frisky and I was like oh no, no, no... 🤣

Glad I'm not the only thats like no more 🤣 11 times in 2 weeks I need a rest pmsl

@myhappystreak thanks so much! We did it every other day until our static smiley yesterday and we did it twice(more for fun than anything with the second time) but wondered if it would ruin today's sperm count.

I haven't said anything to OH but I hope I haven't ruined anything 😬

@Littlebump2018 I think it has a lot to do with age and what the sperm count is so everyone is different.

@myhappystreak aww thank you so much. Sending lots of baby dust to you for this month to. Just hoping my body doesn’t play such rubbish tricks with me this month as the waiting has been awful for af.

Ladies I still can't believe it but the line is definitely stronger. Thank you so much for your support. Sending lots of baby dust your way

That’s fab @Mamaofboys3! Congratulations 🥳!!

@RobinRose thank you so much! Hoping its not a chemical. I'm trying to stay positive 🤞🏽

We used preseed last night for the first time. Quite hard to get the applicator loaded. But 🤞it helps

Opk tests are getting darker each day so hopeful I will see a peak in a couple of days
