May Bus

[Crash1d]

Hey All

Welcome to the May Bus!

This is our second month of trying.

Good luck to everyone.

@SmileyT I'm the exact same have to keep having a talk to myself to remind myself 😂 they are absolutely fine today, I think I'm all to hell after my ectopic cause everything I've had the past week has been my right side which was the side my little bean was at (right fallopian tube) I've had cramps, aching leg & sore boob all at the right side but then this is basically the first full month since so can be expected , il just keep an eye on it in future cycles! When are u due to roughly ovulate? I dont even have a clue when I ovulated, which I thought every month I would just do but I think next cycle (if I dont get my BFP) I will definitely be tracking ovulation cause it is bugging me 😂

@KRK05 I think I'll be ovulating between the 3rd and 6th, was hoping it would be 3rd but CB ovulation kit still saying low fertility. Yeah can definitely understand being more nervous of every twinge after an ectopic 🙁 how long were your cycles before? When was your last period? Are you tracking with anything this month or just hoping to notice other signals like discharge and ovulation pains?

@panda789 thank you 💕 I hope you have a healthy happy 9 months ❤️

@MrsEmilyB thank you! Was so glad when my partner said he loved the name too as I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it ☺️ India and Florence are lovely names. Boy names are honestly impossible 😹

@Panda789 I know! I can’t help myself googling names 😹 what names are you thinking? Also just saw your BFP - congratulations!!

@KRK05 yes, I definitely agree. Trying my best not to stress but think I’m out of it for this month like you too 😓 had on and off cramps since Thursday which turned into the wooooorst stomach pains yesterday and was very worried I had appendicitis as they started on the right hand side. Doctor just said she thinks it was ovulation pain but I’ve never had anything like it. Honestly think it’s too early to be anything positive! So think that’s me out for this month. Just gonna spend the next two weeks till my period chilling outtttt! How are you feeling?

@Blossom93 thanks so much!! ☺️ Still can't believe it! I love the names Olivia (think it's so popular now though?!), Maia, Aria and Jasmine. Literally have no idea for boy names!! Find myself googling hundreds and nit many faves!

@SmileyT Not long now until ovulation then, how do u find the CB ovulation kit do u recommend? I'm thinking that one for next cycle. 28 days although on the implant I was irregular sometimes but generally 28 days. My last AF was 9th April. Not tracking either figured we would just DTD every other day & hope for the best, wanted to try a few months atleast before tracking ovulation but I will definitely be tracking next cycle, the cool & calm approach didnt last very long 😂

@Blossom93 That's so weird cause I was on the right side too, I dont think ovulation either I've never really had ovulation symptoms unless I haven't noticed before cause wasnt TTC. Still doesn't mean your out though, stay positive 🙏🏼 how are u feeling now? My AF due a week Thursday so not too long to wait now like 9 days.

Hi!

Hope you dont mind me joining. I'm probably a late May bus with AF due around the 19th, so we are waiting for next week to start 'trying' but we're taking it pretty relaxed and whatever happens happens. It will be our first proper full month ttc - April we only properly committed half way through so wasnt surprised when AF showed up

This will be 2nd for me but 1st for us. Dd is 12 next week so it's been a while since I've actively ttc - have had 3 miscarriages over the years without ttc so honestly no idea what to expect! Have bought some OPK's as never tried them before (any advice welcome!) and I've been using NaturalCycles for 4 months now so hopefully have a rough idea of ovulation.

Wishing you all the very best on your journeys xx

Can I join please?
Me and my partner are going to try conceive our 3rd child hoping for a girl but any gender is a blessing,
I'm worried about conceiving with what's going on? Anyone else or am I being daft?
Baby dust to all!!! xx

Welcome ladies 💜

@carsmith So sorry to hear about your losses! Good u have an idea of ovulation, I wish I had done that cause just been winging it this month tbh but I will be doing OPKs starting from next month so unfortunately I have no advice on them but girls on this thread will, il be needing it too 😂 good luck for this cycle 🙏🏼

@boymum95 I wont lie I would love a girl too as I already have a boy & OH took persuading for baby #2 so I doubt theyl be baby #3 unless I can persuade him again 🤪 Its weird cause I want a girl just so I have one of each but if I had a boy I'd be over the moon cause boys are just great, nothing beats a mum & son bond 💙 I'm not worried atall with everything going on, we figured it can take long enough to conceive. I think everybody has their own personal choices on it though as I see from these types of threads some people are frowning about others trying to conceive. Sending u lots of baby dust 🙏🏼

Hi, hope I can join too. I've been following the post for 2 weeks now, I had a miscarriage on the 9th April, approx 8 + 4, the day before my first midwife appointment. I was also diagnosed with coeliac disease the week before, I can't help thinking that this could have been a factor because they there is a percentage that it can cause them, or maybe I'm reading too much into it 🙈 I already have 2 DS, no idea on ovulation days, my cycle before was 21 day's. Still haven't had my first cycle. Best of luck to everyone in the post, sending lots of hugs xx

@bubblybon2020 I'm so sorry for your loss, that is devastating 💔 sending u lots of baby dust 🌈 I hope your first cycle returns soon too x

@bubblybon2020 so so sorry to hear about your miscarriage 💛💛 I haven't heard that before about the risk of being coeliac. Just to reassure you, my best friend is coeliac and is currently pregnant, try not to worry that it will have an effect moving forwards. Fingers crossed your cycles get back to normality soon 😘 how old are your DS? X

Welcome to those that have joined

@carsmith good luck with your first month TTC #2 bet your OH is excited, how long are your normal cycles? My period is due around the 20th but we're doing sperm meets egg plan this month so every other day throughout the cycle with an increase around ovulation. Best bit of the cycle is definitely the lead up to Ovulation 🙌🏾

@bubblybon2020 sorry for your loss, I also had a MC (although mine was a missed one) found at my 2nd private scan on the 18th March. My first period was a few days later than usual but I think it's normal for your cycle to be a bit off.

@boymum95 ahh 2 boys, that's the dream... my brother has 3 and I can't even imagine how a baby girl would fit into our family but as you say any happy healthy baby is a blessing. I've seen a lot of chat about ttc at this time but we've decided it's still a good time for us. Personally I'm not worried about financial/ job security and can go for private scans if required. There is a lot of pressure of the NHS but I'm trying for my first after a MC (which I discovered privately) so I wouldn't forgive myself if I stopped trying and it couldn't happen down the line.

@KRK05 well I was hoping I'd ovulate on CD14/CD15 (this weekend) but CB has been 3 results of low fertility so may be a later one 😩 or I'm just impatient. I'm using the cheap opks aswell just to check it works for me so we'll see how I get on throughout the cycle.

Morning,

I think I've lost the plot 😂🙈 I've had twingey type pains in my lower abdomen since yesterday afternoon, mainly on the left side. Had them all night and woke up with them again this morning. So temptation got the better of me and I done a FRER test, which I know is crazy as I'm only about 7/8DPO (don't judge me please 😂), but it has the faintest little second pink line!

I know it's so so early, and chances are it might not even be there when I do another one at the weekend, but it's given me a little bit of hope 🥰

Might have to ask OH hide the rest from me 😂

@KateColx omg!!! Well I can tell you I had those exact symptoms on my left side around the same time of ovulation and I got my BFP!!! I did a clearblue this morning which confirmed it! Do a test again in a few days time, but that certainly sounds positive. A line is a line! ☺️ xx

@KateColx How exciting! I am dying to test but going to wait until Saturday when I am 9/10DPO if I really can't wait until AF due. I had a few strange 'feelings' in my abdomen yesterday but it could be anything so not getting my hopes up.

Thanks everyone

@SmileyT my cycles have been 26 days, 27 days and the last one 28 days. I came off the pill in January had the most amazing (read sarcasm) withdrawal bleed and then an AF 2 weeks after so I'm not surprised the first cycle from that was a bit short. I think they will settle back to 27/28 days hopefully from now on.

OH is excited for sure- we were meant to get married this summer but we've had to move it to next year thanks to Coronavirus so we decided to flip things around and try - we would have been trying come September so its just a few months earlier woohoo!!

@Panda789 Eek really?? Yesterday I didn't think much of it but when it didn't stop all night I started wondering. When did you first test? Sorry you probably have already said. Congrats on the CB confirmation this morning 🥰🥰 When is your estimate due date? X

@Ltay2 the temptation is so difficult isn't it?! If you can hold out I would because now I've still got to wait until the weekend to see if there's still a line anyway 😂 temptation just fully got the better of me this morning 🙈 it's mad how you start symptom spotting isn't it?! I've started noticing all sorts and had to talk myself round haha. Did you say you'd got some early testing ones? X

@carsmith Sorry to hear that your wedding has been postponed, but definitely a positive being able to TTC earlier than expected! Also depending on when you have your wedding now, having your baby involved in the day would be so cute ☺️

@KateColx Exactly! I'm trying to not read into any symptoms because I am hyper sensitive to noticing them this month when really I could have had them every month but not paid too much attention! I definitely will wait until at least Saturday, and if I can then Tuesday. OH will be home Sun/Mon and I want to do the first one without him knowing 🙈

@KateColx yep exactly like yours!! You could have been describing my symptoms it's literally the same! Haha it's ok, there is so many chats going on it's hard to keep up, I don't remember if i said either! I first tested yesterday at 12dpo ☺️ you'll be tempted to try again but maybe see if you can wait a few days.. NHS website shows due date is 8th Jan!!! X

@Ltay2 I know it's strange isn't it? I think TTC is so good for learning more about your cycles and symptoms etc though, I would never ever have noticed half the stuff I do now haha. Yeah I get that! I haven't told my OH that I've done one this morning, I don't think I will until I see what the weekend one is like. He'd probably look at the one from this morning and tell me there's nothing there 😂 does he know you've ordered some tests? X

@KateColx Sorry and yes I have got some early detection tests. Just double checked and they say can test up to 4 days before so in that case I probably am better waiting until Tuesday.

@KateColx Yeah it is nice to know more about my body in that way. Learnt more in the last week than ever! He doesn't know I have bought some, but he asks me almost every day if I 'feel pregnant yet' think he's excited haha. He's very stressed at work at the moment so don't want to add any unnecessary stress on him with worrying as much as I am about testing, especially when he won't understand it all 🤣 I will just tell him once I am semi sure of the outcome unless he asks of course then I'll tell him everything in major detail and he'll wish he never did 🤣

Hi Ladies,

I'm just catching up on the thread. @Panda789 congratulations!!! I was so happy to see our first BFP of the month. Hopefully you've opened the floodgates and lots of BFPs will follow 😊.

It's CD11 for me and I got my first flashing smiley on my clear blue OPK which is exciting. I was a bit unsure as to when I'd ovulate as AF used to be like clockwork always 28 days but since my MC it's been anywhere from 28-33. Looks like maybe this will be a shorter one hopefully. Mixed bag today though, lovely to see a flashing smiley but I then had to take myself off to the doctor's for my monthly blood test I have to have as monitoring after my molar pregnancy. Feels odd to be excited about trying while still getting prodded with needles due to the miscarriage.

How's everyone feeling?
