Toot toot May Bus

[popcorndiva]

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

@MrsEmilyB thank you, baby dust to you too! I’m on CD23! I tried doing BBT this month, was doing ok up until a couple of days ago because my sleeps been all over the place! Hope you find your homeopath appointment useful! I came across sees cycling a couple of days ago, can you give a bit more info?

@Juno231 good to know you are more relaxed.. I am trying... 😁♥️

@Adrianoska haha just remember everyone else will be having sex during their TWW and still having babies all over the place!

@mrsemilyb oh wow just looked up seed cycling! Not as NSFW as I thought it would be ha! I'm trying to lose weight atm so wouldn't be able to fit those extra calories per day right now but might try it next cycle if this one's a dud as well!

Hey girls how are you all? I’ve been a bit quiet but not much has been happening, currently CD10, started with CB OPKs this AM. Hope you are all doing well!
@Mamaofboys3 congratulations on your BFP! How exciting, do you have an EDD?

How is everyone else feeling?

:( cd 24 for me and still more and more very negative OPKs. One app says I’m supposed to be ovulating today, another one tomorrow and then Premom says Friday. It’s anyone’s guess atm x

@Mamaofboys3 congratulations on your BFP. Hopefully it’s the start of many for this bus. I’ve got to wait for AF to go and then start what will hopefully a fairly normal cycle.

@Kangaroo77 sorry for your loss but glad you are feeling ready to try again. Is this your first? We are ttc number 1, have been trying for over a year. Managing to stay fairly positive about it all. Hopefully (for all of us) it will be our time soon.

@Runnergirl1 sorry if you mentioned already but have you always had long cycles?

Thank you both @Florence13 @CoronaBaby. I am sending lots of baby dust to all the ladies on the May bus 💕

@CoronaBaby ooh well according to my peak day (17th April) that would make my EDD the 8th Jan 2021 I think... I already have a Christmas eve baby! Going to be a busy couple of weeks hopefully 💕

@Mamaofboys3 there's a due date calculator on the nhs website goes off the first day of your last period and your cycle length. Exciting!!!

@Mamaofboys3 wow it will be a busy time for you! But a beautiful busy all the same

@Runnergirl1 Hang in there, I have felt at times that having too much information has given me extreme anxiety which is also difficult. Fingers crossed your peak will come soon.

It’s very difficult with not having much access to the GP, I’m anxious that my GP would advise me to hold off TTC if she knew, due to “you know what” 😬 I had a very difficult pregnancy with DD, I was in hospital a lot, hoping for an easier journey this time round if I’m lucky enough to fall pregnant again

@Skyla01 - they have always been very irregular. I have mentioned it to docs before but they have always said it’s to do with my weight (being slim) and I’ve been a runner so they blamed that too. But I’m a healthy weight and not really running much now so not sure why they are still all over x

It’s nice to hear everyone’s updates, just been looking through what everyone’s been saying :) I’m CD41 today, lots of creamy cm. but that’s about it for me!

Thanks for all the support yesterday everyone btw, I feel a bit better today emotionally, but I have a blimmin eye infection somehow?! Never get those!

@Mamaofboys3 so exciting! Can't wait yo get my BFP. It'll be worth the wait!

@Runnergirl1 it must be really frustrating. Do you ever get an inkling of ovulation like ewcm to help work it out? I've been a bit worried about weight/exercise levels. My cycles are regular ~31 days but we've been trying for over a year... I've put on 2kg and exercise less now but still no success. Just gonna keep trying but sometimes I think am I still doing too much, or should I run today or not... There's always something to worry about! Sounds like that shouldn't be the issue for you anymore. Lots of ladies conceive with irregular cycles so hopefully that'll be you soon.

@Skyla01 I’m the same as you though. I feel I ain’t doing too much but maybe I am? I feel like I’m a better weight but maybe i am not? Your right though there is always something else to worry about. Yeah I do think I get EWCM but again who knows when it will come and is that the day of ovulation or is it the day after? Still so new to all this.

Thank you @CoronaBaby I hope it comes soon. I’ve got through a lot of OPKs haha

@Runnergirl1 I have more than likely read it but have you been trying long? I think you sound like you are quite hard on yourself in your last post, be kind to yourself, this is a difficult time with a lot of pressure attached.

According to my apps my fertile week begins tomorrow, so I have just groomed my entire body, hoping that will help me if not at least I may weigh a kg less in the am!

@CoronaBaby 🤣🤣🤣

@Runnergirl1 keep going with the opks- hope you get a peak soon. You might be able to see a pattern with ewcm & positive opk in time. Do you find the opks work for you?

@Adrianoska my boobs hurt more than I've ever felt. But I'm only 2/3dpo so deffo must be ovulation. I'm hoping it's a good sign somehow, like my bodys doing a really good job preparing for a fertilised egg or something haha.

This time next week I can start symptom spotting, am I weird that I'm excited about that lol?

@babyG123 poor DH will get an awful shock tomorrow, currently contemplating a layer of false tan, but fear it may be a step too far

Can I please join in too? I’m ttc #1, on my 4th cycle. 6dpo today but have had very sore boobs from almost the day after ov, I know it’s prob just ov symptoms but always hoping! Af due on the 4th of May but fx for a BFP instead! Fx for you all xx

So, rather strange one. My previous 3 cycles have been 45 then 46 then 54 days. About 10/11 day luteal phase.

Today is CD17 and got a bit of brown blood when I wipe. Had brown CM (like small clots) yesterday and then today suddenly had really really bad pain on left side. It didn't feel like ovulation pain and then with the blood I was furiously self diagnosing many things - kidney stones, cervical cancer, menopause etc!

Anyway, pain has turned into what I think is ovulation pain now (pretty unbearable to be honest).

Anyone else sometimes spot around ovulation?

I have PCOS hence the long cycles. I know mid cycle bleeding sometimes common with PCOS but not something I've had before.

@Ltay2 - ahh the elusive sleep. I'm trying to get more of it, but there just aren't enough hours in the day sometimes! My BBT hasn't been reliable lately either and I'm wondering whether it's due to broken sleep too. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞 I'm CD 9 so not far into my cycle yet. Only had a 2 day AF which was weird so we've been BD every other day.

@juno231 - I bought a fertility lube too! Not pre-seed, but something similar (read: cheaper 😂). So glad you're feeling happy and relaxed this cycle! Seed cycling is where you eat certain blitzed seeds at different points of your cycle to support either oestrogen or progesterone production. Who knows if it works, but it can't hurt! OD is due somewhere around 6th May.

@Adrianoska - fingers crossed for your bfp my lovely 💕 keep positive! And keep your feet warm! An old wives tale is it helps warm your ute 😂 I've got SO many 2WW hacks this time around as I went absolutely nuts last cycle and probably hampered my chances haha.

@RobinRose - seed cycling is where you eat oestrogen supportive seeds during your follicular phase (flax and pumpkin, freshly ground or blitzed) and progesterone supportive seeds during your luteal phase (sunflower and sesame). And 2 Brazil nuts a day for you and your OH all cycle round (good job too - they're delicious!!)

@juno231 - HOW did you find a NSFW page on seed cycling 😂😂😂 it's SEEDS pahaha!

@Mamaofboys3 - CONGRATS!! Send some baby dust to the May bus please 😘

@Runnergirl1 - I'm with you on the anxiety front! I used to be a very low weight and worry I've damaged myself 😢 bmi 20 now though so hoping it's all good. Make sure you're eating enough fat! (unsaturated) Babies need that and protein to grow 😊

@kate890 - welcome to the bus, lovely x

Wow. That was long. Reminder to self to check/reply to my tags more than once a day haha!

@Kate890 you are in a very similar place to me. I am 5dpo, my AF is due on the 5th of May and it is my 5th cycle. 🌸 How old are you? 🌼

Really, girls, my nips are on fire. Surely that's too early to put it down to anything special?

I am feeling so hopeful 🌸
