Toot toot May bus 2- rings inc

[babyG123]

Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

@Skyla01 @mrsEmilyB

Thank you! According to my app I am due to ovulate on the 9th May. I have just done an LH test today and will continue to do so each day until ovulation.
I've never used the LH tests before so it's all new to me!

@RobinRose oh god I would love to live near a beach!!

@Sausage1990 I agree, I think you’ve defo dtd in your fertile time whichever day you ov’d on. But I’m useless at this lol xx

@Juno231 I’ve never been to London either! I’d love to go tho! Xx

@myhappystreak omg that’s a fab line! Congrats lovely! Xxx

@myhappystreak - omg congrats!!!! 🎊🎉🎊🎉 Anything different you did this month?

This surely is a lucky bus girls?!?

@firsttimetry welcome! It’s my first time tracking too. Best advice I got off these ladies was track daily until you see an increase then test 12pm/4pm and 8pm until you hit your peak and after. You should see a pattern; halfway through I didn’t but it’s cake together ok. Good luck xxx

@firsttimetry - your peak window can be pretty short so the advice is to test at 12pm, 4pm and 8pm in the couple of days before ovulation is due.

Saying that, I'm due to ovulate tomorrow and have taken 4 tests already today - none peak! Come on body 😩

@MrsEmilyB I hope it is! If my dh can’t get me pregnant I’m relying on you lot 🤣🤣🤣 xxx

@MrsEmilyB do you think there’s anything to the theory that the more we try the harder it is? Like is waiting for it putting it off? Lol! I have clockwork 28 day cycles. First month tracking and ov cd18/19 . Either I’ve postponed it with my stress or I have a v short LP XX

@Mrsirvine snap 😩😭😩😭

@Mrsirvine - oh absolutely. They say stress plays so much havoc. And we've started trying for a baby in the middle of a global pandemic and government ordered lockdown 😂 so...... 💖💖💖

@MrsEmilyB We followed SMEP but missed the very last day as DF was unwell. I tracked with OPKS from CD10 and was fairly sure I hit my peak but didnt get any obvious signs of ovulation.

I also drank a glass of grapefruit every day for a week prior to ovulation, supposed to help with EWCM.

I do have a list of symptoms I was keeping track of daily since ovulation, I'm so glad I wasnt just imagining them. I'll post them shortly

@mrsemilyb sure how’s a good a time as any 🤣 xxx

@myhappystreak wahooooo! So fabulous!!! Absolutely wonderful for you!!!! What are the symptoms you've been spotting and since when?! YAYE.

@MrsEmilyB really hoping this is the lucky bus!!!

@myhappystreak wooo look at that line! Congratulations 🥳! I’ve also been drinking grapefruit juice so hopefully it helps! @GingerBaby89 I hope it’s a lucky bus too 🚌 🍀!

3dpo - sore breasts from very early on

6dpo - woke up to a strong metallic taste in my mouth

7dpo - slight dizziness (took a test BFN)

8dpo - AF type cramps, extremely emotional and irritable

9dpo - Earache, sudden fatigue, body aches and feeling hot

10dpo - dizziness, icky nauseas feeling (strong BFP 5pm)

@RobinRose are you enjoying it? I actually miss it, might start drinking it again lol

Congrats @myhappystreak love seeing so many BFPs on this thread... 🥳

@myhappystreak omg yes! Congratulations!!! And thank you for the dpo breakdown, I love those, so helpful. Yay!!

So many bfp’s already 🥰🥰

Congratulations @myhappystreak 🥳

@myhappystreak aaaaahhh ❤️ hope SMEP works for us too. Although very stressed and tired DH couldn't give a hoot right now 😂🦉😭 thanks for the breakdown! What cycle is this for you?

@myhappystreak congrats!! Good to hear about the grapefruit juice - it's my go to at hotel breakfast buffets as I love it 😁. Been drinking pomegranate juice for a thicker lining instead 🙊

@myhappystreak love your breakdown of symptoms! Wish we could save that permanently 🤣 for all us symptom spotters to be ! What did your OH say? Xx

@myhappystreak HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!🥰

@MrsEmilyB @Mrsirvine thank you for the advice!

Has anyone got any other tips/helpful hints that I should be aware of?

@myhappystreak I am actually 😂 I tried Sainsbury’s pink grapefruit last month which was not very pleasant! I have Tropicana golden grapefruit at the moment, topped up with a little water it’s actually quite nice! I also have pomegranate juice on the go 😂

@robinrose yes golden grapefruit is so good!
