May Bus

[Crash1d]

Hey All

Welcome to the May Bus!

This is our second month of trying.

Good luck to everyone.

@SmileyT so did I!!!!!

You all crack me up! Keep it going x

@KateColx @carsmith definitely have to keep ourselves amused 🤣🤣

@KateColx So sorry u didnt get those 2 lines this morning, but it is still early days your not out until AF arrives (which we hope she doesn't 🤞🏻) & if it isnt your month, we will be the same had a 'practice cycle' & onto the next with our new CB digital together 😜

@Ltay2 Do u normally get AF pains in the run up? Implantation pains can happen anywhere from 2-7 days & always remember everybody's different. I always get bad AF pains before she arrives, it's awful plus the 5 days I have my periods so I pretty much have a sucky month every month 😂

Last night I was in agony & had streaks of pink when I wiped so she is well & truly on her way! I don't normally get blood when I wipe before, it normally just hits me like a ton of bricks so I have a feeling shes gonna arrive earlier than Thursday 🤦🏼‍♀️

@KRK05 Yes I normally do get cramps before AF arrives, I would have thought it wasn't a week early but I've never paid a lot of attention before so may well be cramping for a week before AF actually arrives properly. I normally have spotting for a few days beforehand too so that should start soon too.

Hi.
We are onto our 5th month of actively trying. Coil has been out a year. Was convinced I was pregnant but then had a 1 day heavy period ): nothing like I've had before. I usually spot 2 days before then bleed for 5 days. Bit nope, day AF was due it was bam! Then stopped, just brown discharge for the next couple of days. All tests negative....oh well. Onward, upwards and legs open again !

@Ltay2 Well yeah u might not have noticed before, I definitely do cause I'm like crippled every month because of AF & normally need to sit with my hot water bottle. I still get bad months like I'm a teenager still 😭 last night before bed & now is so so bad! Making me feel so sick. I had little pink streaks last night when I wiped after toilet haven't had anymore which I never ever get before AF but I think shes gonna come early cause my pains aren't normally this bad until she rears her ugly head so I'm expecting today or tomorrow to have her! I think I'm having a wacky month or all the constant thinking about TTC is sending me ill 😂

Hey ladies,

Happy Sunday!

I agree the men folk just don't get how useful MN is. It's so nice the be able to talk about TTC as much as you think about it without people thinking you're a nut job.

Still bloody flashing smileys for me which is getting irritating! My Flo app is predicting another 33 day cycle though so ovulation isn't predicted till Friday but when I got my flashing smiley I was hoping the static would soon follow.

BUT! DP and I now have the house to ourselves again and it's glorious 😂. If I don't get my BFP this time it won't be for lack of trying 😂.

Hope you're all well and enjoying a lazy Sunday!

@Spinksy9 So sorry u had AF, especially playing tricks on u & being different to usual cycles. Love your positivity though 'onwards, upwards & legs open' il be taking that with me to next cycle 😂

I was convinced. I was getting waves of sickness, headaches, couldnt shift any tiredness. In fact I'm still getting those feelings. But I feel it's my body just reacting to how I feel mentally. you gotta stay positive! And if all else fails, there is gin ahaa

@Noble89 Hope u get your static smiley soon 🤞🏻 so glad u & OH have house back to yourself & can now have more fun while TTC 😜

Hello ladies!

I'm so glad I have found this thread, please let me join! We are TTC for #2 and this 2nd cycle. AF due on Thursday but I'm quite irregular. I'm getting cramps but that's just normal me, only difference is veryyy tender breast. Been testing everyday with FRER but no luck.. 11 DPO today! I hope and pray we all get out BFPs this month!! Good luck everyone xx

@Spinksy9 Love the 'onwards upwards legs open' 😂 and I definitely am going to treat myself to a new bottle of gin if AF appears!

@KRK05 Oh that sounds horrible, I do sometimes get pains really bad but usually they are bad but manageable. I got my first period age 11 and they were horrendous for the first 10 years, used to last a full week but seem to have calmed down slightly now and average at about 3 days, with only one day of major pain!

@Noble89 Congratulations on your now empty house, enjoy 😂 given my OH a mini lesson on AF/pregnancy symptoms being similar today he's now more confused than ever!

@Aaj04 Welcome! We are also on second cycle but trying for first baby. AF also due on 7th May. May just be too early for your testing still - good luck! 💕

@KRK05 thank you lovely ☺️ yeah I'll see how I go this week but I'm feeling bloated today and having some cramping type things so I think AF is on its way. Roll on next cycle and becoming CB OPK pros 😩💁🏼‍♀️

I'm the same as you though, I can't work out if my body is playing tricks on me or if I'm just now noticing stuff I wouldn't have before but I've never ever had pains a week before AF is due. It normally hits me bad on day one but never anything before, and now I'm noticing pains and wondering if she's going to turn up early. Never had early periods before so it'd be just my luck thAt is starts now 🙈

@Noble89 glad you and OH can get back to making TTC fun 😜 x

@Aaj04 Of course u can join, we're all in this together 💜 your AF due the same as a few of us, myself too. Really hope u get your BFP 🤞🏻 are u just going to test every day leading up to AF? I tested yesterday was a BFN (even though on another thread so many people say they can see a line) but it's definitely grey no colour so I'm gonna hold out for AF who I think is gonna be here sooner than Thursday, but I kind of just want AF so I can get it over with this waiting is so irritating 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@KateColx We same to be having the same symptoms, mother nature is cruel 😭 I feel so sicky today but I swear I'm stressing myself out! & OPK pros we will be 😂 if your not used to AF pains before AF could be a sign though, lots of people get that leading up to their BFP 🤞🏻

My cramps seem to not be as bad today maybe my body is just playing tricks on me 😫 boobs are a bit tender - again something I never really pay attention to before AF arriving so who knows what this all means 🤣

@Ltay2 thank you so much hun! So glad to have found someone in the same boat. The TWW is torture 😂

@KRK05 thank you means alot! Unfortunately I don't have the patience to wait 😂 I drive myself crazy! Next time I'm never buying extra pregnancy test they can be evil 😂. I hope you also get your BFP very soon hun!

@Ltay2 Do u think maybe we think non stop about symptoms we convince ourselves our body has these cramps? I'm feeling awful today I'm definitely having a lazy Sunday & going for a nap soon.

@Aaj04 They are nothing but temptation are they 🤷🏼‍♀️ thankyou very much! I'm gonna try CB advanced for tracking ovulation next cycle, give myself more of a chance x

@KRK05 Definitely! I think a lot of the 'symptoms' I feel I've had are mostly in my head and because I've been thinking and looking out for them I've noticed them more, when in reality I probably have them all the time but because I'm usually so busy (when not in lockdown with nothing else to do!) I don't notice them.

My nipples definitely look bigger today although again this could be something that happens all the time in the lead up to AF I just don't normally notice. I feel like AF is on the way, my pains today have been more AF-like than previous days. Although I am optimistic for the next cycle, this cycle has definitely taught me more about my body and I know a bit more about what my 'normal' is ahead of the next cycle 🤞🏼

@Ltay2 I feel the same I will still look back at this cycle as positive cause I've learnt so much & next cycle I will be better prepared as il know ovulation so will give us more of a chance 🙏🏼💕

@KRK05 And then to make it a little bit worse, some people can be pregnant and get no symptoms at all 😂 so I always have that in the back of my mind too. I feel like I've written this month off, but fingers crossed it'll prove me wrong.

@Ltay2 @KRK05 I think that's definitely something we can all take from this month, we'll know what we've noticed this month and maybe not overthink it as much. Orrr we'll all be just as crazy with it 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Feeling so tired today, done a 6k walk with the dog this morning and now back on the sofa ready for more Netflix 🙌🏻 might treat myself to a nap haha. X

🎊POSITIVE FRER 🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️
I had symptoms at 5dpo (really, I mean it, painful boobs and back), had cramps at 8dpo and white creamy cm.

This month I was drinking Proceive Max as I am 36. I was also taking baby aspirin whenever i remembered.

Don't give up girls! I was losing faith and now I am so happy 🎉

Congratulations again 💜💜 upload a picture so we can see, first positive of the May bus how exciting 🥰

@KateColx So so true! I had no symptoms with my son atall. I feel like I've written off this month too but not over until AF arrives, we got this! Only 4 more days 😊

We spent most of the day in the garden & then I treated myself to a nap too it's a Sunday after all 🤷🏼‍♀️
