Hey All

Welcome to the May Bus!

This is our second month of trying.

Good luck to everyone.

@carsmith they're different tests but thought I'd upload how bright they get when high/ at the peak. From the picture yours doesn't look there yet quite yet. Good luck!!! 👶🏼🙌🏽

@babyG123 amazing!! Thank you so much :)

@KRK05 oh god, I would’ve thought they’d have more chance of being late than this early, how typical! You’ll have to get your OH to hide them for you 😹 Sending you some willpower haha.

I’ve had cramps and twinges in my lower stomach, a bit of lower back ache, CM is still the same as ovulation and I woke up this morning with super sensitive nipples, sorry TMI 😹. Been feeling fatigued as well but I’m trying not to dwell on it all as it could be nothing (easier said than done). I guess the earliest I can test with a FRER is on Monday but will try and hold out until next Thursday 🤞🏻

@Blossom93 I am exactly the same as you with testing days! Although if I can't help myself may do one on Saturday just to see if anything happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Blossom93 I know I couldn't believe it, I half expected them to be late also 🤦🏼‍♀️ well earliest I can test is Saturday which is 6 days before, as u have to include day AF due in that so I'm gonna try hold off until Monday so 4 days earlier. I'm honestly not hopeful for this cycle it's our first month TTC but will take it as a 'practice run' & do OPKs for next cycle! So I think if I get a BFN I will be disappointed but not as disappointed as if I'd had symptoms or felt like I was pregnant. Your symptoms sound very promising though 🤞🏻 when is your AF due again? Sorry if you've already says 😂

@Ltay2 Your AF due same as me the 7th is that right? How u managing holding off testing, Saturday earliest I can test but I'm gonna hold off until Monday so 4 days before.

@KRK05 Yes that's right, due 7th May. I am doing ok in holding off at the moment, desperate to test but know it's too early so it's pointless even trying. I'm going to aim for testing on Tuesday, my tests would be Monday too but I would rather wait until OH is back at work on Tuesday and do it on my own for the first time! If I get desperate I will give it a go on Saturday but again still pointless and it wouldn't show anything.

@carsmith sorry to butt in! What app do you use where you upload a picture of the opk? I'm struggling to see a peak in mine and just wanted to be sure!

Morning everyone,

Happy Friday!!

Done another FRER test this morning (there's no stopping me now 😂) and there was no line ☹️ technically I shouldn't even be testing until Sunday so I'm not trying not to worry.

I had really light spotting on Wednesday and I'm still getting lots of twinges and light cramping type feelings, so keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that's its hopeful and not just wishful thinking.

Sending lots of baby dust ✨ to everyone making the most of the weekend to BD 🥰

@1izzie I wrote the message on laptop and then quickly uploaded the picture from phone on to here. Fond it easier to attach a pic direct from mob instead of uploading to laptop and doing it that way. Maybe some of the others might be able to help? :)

@1izzie I used the premom app which links to the tests I bought easy@home but it may work with yours 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning!

I had some AF type cramps yesterday evening that have carried on all night. Strange as it's still a week to go and whilst I do usually get cramps a few days before they aren't usually quite as strong so early on. Also they were more of a constant low down ache rather than in waves of intensity like my AF pain is normally.

Will see how today goes and try not the symptom spot, no bleeding of any kind at the moment which I also normally do have a bit of spotting if I have early AF pain although again not usually so early on.

No other news to report! I've had 2 nights of a lot better sleep, sleeping soundly most of the night and having very clear dreams so that's the only other difference to a few nights ago when I was struggling to stay asleep for more than 2 hours at a time!

Sorry, can I jump on the thread? Totally at my wits end 😕

Could anyone give me advice on my bbt chart? Ovulation confirmed via bloods. Came back at 21 at doctor said anything above 16 confirms ovulation.
I'm currently 14dpo. Bfn on frer with fmu. GUTTED!
Symptom wise - cramps, on and off. Sore nipples for about a week now! Needing the loo a lot last night but when I got there, I didn't pass a lot of urine.
Last months chart I declined at 11dpo and AF showed her face at 14dpo. My temps are the highest they've ever been this morning. Any advice?

@carsmith @BabyG123 thank you!!

@Ltay2 sounds like they could be promising! It's hard not to read too much into everything but if they're not similar to what you would normally get before AF and don't fit timings wise, fingers crossed they're an early sign 🤞🏻 I've had similar pains for a few days now. My sleep has been awful too, it's taken me hours to get off each night 😩 are you still planning to test Tuesday?

@rosiepicks sorry I'm useless with charts and temping but your symptoms sound promising. When would AF be due? X

@KateColx Hopefully! Although trying to not think too much into it as I haven't really taken note of how early my AF pain usually shows up so could well just be that.

Oh it's so horrible not being able to sleep properly isn't it! Even though I slept quite well last night and the night before I have still been feeling really tired within an hour of waking up!

I am going to try my best to hold on to test on Tuesday. Curiosity may get the better of me and I may test on Saturday, although I know it's still too early.

@rosiepicks Sorry I am also really bad at charts as I don't really look at mine! Has AF been this late before?

@rosiepicks with ovulation confirmed 14 days ago I'd expect a BFP on a HPT by now but you may have had late implantation so fingers crossed as the high bbt looks promising. I've only temped half a month but my temp didn't drop until after AF had started but I think it's different for everyone 🤞

@KateColx I'm sorry to hear there was no line today, will be frustrating after yesterday! Definitely try & hold off until Sunday & I pray u have a stronger line 🙏🏼

I was so tempted to test today (only because there now I'm in my house) but I know it wouldve been pointless so I left it, I cant do a 4 hour hold with no drinks during day so I quickly hurried to get rid of my FMU this morning so I knew I couldn't test today 😂 2 more days to go! Although I really dont know why I'm testing early cause I doubt this is my month, I think curiosity getting better of me 🤦🏼‍♀️

@KRK05 ah thank you lovely 🥰 I'm just reminding myself that nothing 'should' be showing yet anyway, trying not to let it get me down. Definitely going to wait out for Sunday now, keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

Haha that's a good tactic, I need to do that tomorrow morning so I'm not tempted!! Honestly I do think having the tests in the house is such a temptation 🙈 especially when there's always a story somewhere about someone testing positive 5 mins after DTD or something haha.

Have you had any signs or anything? Will 2 days be when AF is due or when you can test early? Sorry if you've already said, I'm a nightmare for keeping track on here 😂 x

@KateColx Yeah exactly stay positive 💜 it is hard though & your right cause I just read a post & a girl took a test a week & 2 days before AF was a faint line & got pregnant on CB digital a couple days after, all before AF I was like okkkk thats it I'm doing mines 😂 but then had a talk to myself for being so crazy haha! Honestly when I woke up I was like 'right dont grab those tests & run to the toilet' 😂

Well I'm confused so I've got First Response so obviously 6 days early so technically I think I could test tomorrow cause I think u count the day your testing plus the day your AF due in those 6 is that right? It's just when I went on my Flo app this morning it says period due in 6 days so I was like hmm does that mean I couldve tested today! I was just waiting until Monday cause then my OH would be at work so I could hide in the toilet & obsess over it myself 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ my AF is due on Thursday the 7th. Dont worry I'm a nightmare too I cant keep up half the time haha x

Oh & I've had no symptoms what so ever, I def think I noticed my ovulation symptoms though I've never noticed before but cause I haven't tried to. The past couple days I've been bit moody & today bit crampy but that's not unusual for me before AF x

@KateColx @KRK05 I'm so glad it's not just me that feels influenced by other people testing early 😂 also in terms of timing of testing, as far as I can make out it is xx days before your MISSED period. So if your period was due today it wouldn't be considered missed until tomorrow. Mine is due Thursday next week, missed would be Friday. That means Monday would be 4 days before my missed period (my tests are 4 day ones).

I'm having the opposite reaction to people testing early 🤣🙈

So many nervous unsure confused mummas and I'm bad enough without that haha

@Ltay2 Omg yeah it's so hard seeing everybody's posts of there BFP so early before AF 😂 tempts us all so much haha! How have u been symptom wise? I keep having a giggle to myself cause I just know this isnt my month I'm just testing for the sake of it 🙄 but then I didnt have any symptoms with my son, especially not so early on I only really had heightened smell but then wasnt until was further on. My pregnancy was a breeze! When I tested early start of March I had no symptoms then either I just tested because I came across posts of people testing early so thought I'd do it & was shocked so I never seem to have symptoms. I've also had 2 miscarriages before my son & only way I knew was because AF was late!

@babyG123 Hahaha good for u not being sucked in by it 😂
