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 that's exciting! Sounds like if you can bd tomorrow too you'll be all set.

My AF is just about finished. Still got a while until ovulation but time isn't dragging too much. We're going to try and have lots of fun DTD this month, and make it less chore like. Raspberry leaf tea has just arrived so going to drink some each day (apparently it's meant to strengthen the womb...?!).

@Positivetime and @Karanciri I think it depends on the length if your cycle. Sometimes the instructions give you a guide. If you have a shorter cycle cd8 might be a good place to start, but a longer cycle maybe cd12? I know I don't ovulate until around cd18-20 but that is later than most women. You should get a positive opk a day or two before ovulation.

@Skyla01 thank you! Ooh let us know how you get on with the raspberry tea. I’m not a tea fan so would be interested to hear what it’s like!

I've got a week left before I can test and really dont think I can wait any longer 🙊🙈

Guess I'm joining the May bus after another chemical pregnancy this month. Hopefully May might bring me some luck 🍀🤞🏼😬❤️🌈

Will anyone be trying the SMEP? Been reading up on it and it’s successes. Anyone else been successful before or heard good things?

@Positivetime Not heard of it, but having just looked into it I think I might give it a try this month. Nothing to lose...

@Positivetime I tried it, no luck. But I don’t think I ovulated last month 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Rainbow1991 are you jumping on the May bus? How are you? Not sure if it was you who mentioned using fermometer tests/app/thermometer? Ive just got some in the post & feeling fairly positive 😊

Silly question but lots of ppl have told me they didn’t ovulate using the sticks as in it didn’t show them that they were and also friends with PCOS told not ovulating. But they still get pregnant...how is that possible?
I’ve not tracked it yet but already worried what if I don’t ovulate at all.

@Lily2020 hi lovely! Yes we’ve decided to jump into the May bus & keep everything crossed. How are you feeling at the moment? AF is soon to finish and then it’s Operation May bus full steam ahead!

@Positivetime we did smep for 3 cycles before Christmas. No success... But I did like the fact that I felt in control and knew we were doing everything possible to try and get that bfp!

Hello..can I join? This is my first mumsnet post despite looking at all the TTC posts since day 1.
CD1 of 6th cycle. Feeling a bit blue..I’ve always worried I’d struggle to have a baby and each month that AF arrives it confirms that fear just a little more (even though I know 6months is nothing really). Trying to be positive though and joining this bus for bit of moral support.

Also....does anyone else hate the eBay advert!?

@Lily2020 I’m using the femometer app & sticks & thermometer, only because that was all I could get really. Literally the only thermometer I could find (though I’m not so fussed about temping but it’s good to have a thermometer!) The app I find a lot easier than others, I’m trying Ovia as well & downloaded premom & though I’ve only just started I find femometer so much easier though I’ve not really started to use the OPKs as only CD4 here but seems good

Hi @Dixie17 was thinking earlier today how insensitive that eBay advert is. Oh it just took the couple 96 seconds. Though I do think poor woman if it was all over in 96 seconds.

@Minster2012 I'm starting with the opk's on Wednesday, I'm really interested to see how it all works after reading about so many peoples experiences on here! How long have you been doing the bbt temping? Did it match up with the OPKs?

@Rainbow1991 oh fab glad you're here 😊 I'm ok thank you! A lot more positive now than when AF arrived, had a few down days but ready to get on with this cycle now, got the big guns out, opks & thermometer so hopefully this months the month! How are you?

Hi @Dixie17 I remember at the beginning having thoughts like that too... and now we're over a year in! However I think it's important to keep the faith and believe that it will happen for us soon, just need a bit of patience. Hopefully May bus is for us!

@Lily2020 I’ve literally started temping two days as my 1st AF after MMC just finished & that’s when I got the thermometer through, first cycle trying so not done OPKs either so all new to me too! MMC was from IVF which was due to chemo treatment for 10 years in all, last may to nov we TTC then used our frozen embryo for IVF so never used them

I've just got some CB ovulation tests through and AF is almost over 🙊

@MoonW same here for OPK, managed to get a positive test yesterday evening and this morning, I am on cd18. Have been dtd every day since 3 days now and every two days before that. Not sure if we need to continue tomorrow as well

Oh great @Minster2012 keep me posted on how you get on, I think I'm going to struggle to remember to temp before I do anything else! I'm sorry to hear you've been through so much 😣 hopefully May is your month!!

Hi ladies, mind if I join the May bus? I'm on my first month TTC since my MC in Feb. I had my peak fertility result yesterday so starting my 2WW now x

Hi ladies, I'm jumping on the May bus! AF showed up today so I'm back to square one 🤷‍♀️. TTC#1 - 4th cycle.

With AF showing up early, ovulation has been moved back from 2nd of May to 28th of April so I'll be starting on the OPKs soon enough!

What’s everyone doing to keep themselves occupied during TWW?
