June Bus - who's on board?

[MrsLBear]

Hi ladies 💕

13dpo today and af is imminent as temp dropped to cover line plus a bfn. So who's joining me?
TTC #1
This will be cycle 13 since mmc (Feb 19) but been TTC since June 2018 so a horribly momentous month for me.

Bought some vitamins recommended by it starts with the egg for this month and also male conception tablets for DH. So we shall see 🤞🏼

Lots of luck and baby dust to everyone 🍀🌈💕

@KRK05 Aye I guess if you are both in the same page and know it needs doing it's not too bad!! At good that you're both up for still keeping it fun!

@jaxs23 Thanks! Yeah it's handy being able to input the OPK results, mainly like it for the comparison between days/times. Hope the rest of your cycle goes as planned!

@33Carr don't get me started - I'm like a born again Christian with femometer, love that app!

CD2 and can't help but marvel at how quickly the first half of the cycle goes by - it'll be the start of FW next Sunday already!

@Juno231 I'm on CD2 too and FW starting Sunday! 🤗🤗

@33Carr woop another cycle buddy! Will you be using anything to track it? Sorry if I'm asking you to repeat yourself 🙊. I'll be using OPKs again (this is cycle 5) but will try and be more relaxed about it as I never got a peak last month and it really stressed me out 😅

@Juno231 Haha it's ok, I'm using OPKs and now starting cycle 3. I understand what you mean about stressing yourself out. I'm in the same boat, I'm normally so chilled about stuff! Been trying since December and got a BFP at the beginning of Feb but ended up in a MMC. But wasn't tracking anything first time round, just let nature take its course!

Has anyone had a light positive on a ovulation stick in the AM, and then nothing in PM?

Suspect cheap sticks may be to blame but I definitely thought my levels were starting to rise this morning. 🙄

@OnNaturesCourse How far apart did you test? Sometimes the surge can only be a few hours so you can potentially miss it?

About 12 hours

I usually start getting faint lines on the sticks around 2/3 days beforehand, then I get a morning of a solid line then it drops away within 24 hours. But never had a line sort of disappear like that.

Maybe this cycle is just playing with me because it knows we're actively trying now

@OnNaturesCourse I find the opks do fluctuate a little throughout the day before ovulation, if you are CD9 then you still have plenty of time to get your positive opk if you are expecting a 28 day cycle👌🏾

Wow so much going on!!

@Dreaming101 sorry for your BFN but if you think ovulation could have occurred at a different time then there’s still a chance isn’t there?

@Juno231 a born again Christian with femometer? Eh?! Do you mean you love inputting the data?

@OnNaturesCourse i had a “high” last month ln CD 10 randomly then nothing for ages but I had to abandon it all at CD12 when AF showed unexpectedly so I don’t know what would have happened later on but it was just one random high in the morning - god our bodies are weird 😬

Yes thankfully still plenty time to see the ovulation line this month, hopefully my body isn't playing funny buggers and I've not missed it.

Can I ask how many of you are trying for 2nd/3rd etc babies? We will, hopefully, be going from 1 DC to 2 and as much as I want another baby a part of me is worried about the change and impact on DC 1 who is super attached and very much my side kick.

Hi girls just checking in to keep you all updated... 13 dpo and af due tomorrow. Still don’t feel like she’s even remotely on her way and increasingly noticing unusual pregnancy symptoms despite BFN Im sure af will come knocking soon though to just put me out🙄. Anything changes I will keep you all in the loop 🤞🏼 I hope this is the month for some BFPs x

@MrsDh2019 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Do you usually come on in the AM or PM - might be worth testing either tomorrow night or the next day?

@onnaturescourse I'd say you probably missed it! Haven't heard of anyone having IC strip problems for OPKs before so I think that might be unlikely.

@minster2012 I mean that I rave about /push femometer on to everyone cause I love it 😁.

Oh I hope I've not missed it, I'm in for a super short cycle if I have! I'm only on CD9, with AF having stopped on CD7, did DTD on CD 8 tho so maybe...just maybe!

@Minster2012 ah I guess there is a chance but not too hopeful, I think the folic acid I’ve been taking may be delaying AF. I’ve read that I can do that so may switch back to the natural version I was taking.

Read that it*

@Juno231 ah I see what you mean I love it too!

@OnNaturesCourse 🤞🏻It’s not AF what pregnancy symptoms have you had do you think?

@OnNaturesCourse thanks lovely. I’ve done a few cheap tests and they’ve all come back a bit sketchy!! I’m happy to just wait now and if AF comes tomorrow then she comes and onto the next cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ I usually come on slap bang in the middle of the day... always at work (my uniform is white!) 😂 if AF doesn’t show for a couple of days I may take my second FRER on Wednesday or something 🤞🏼but it’s weird I feel SO pregnant so I will be super shocked in a way if I do have AF come to visit! Xx

@OnNaturesCourse did you take a pic of your opk this morning? Just me being nosey to have a look 🙈

@MrsDh2019 really hope it does develop into a BFP 🤞

Sorry I got the wrong person that comment was meant to be for @MrsDh2019 what symptoms do you have do you think? Def hoping it’s just too early xx💕🤞🏻🍀

Sorry ladies, I'm needing a lesson in MN what is OPK? Is that ovulation sticks?

I didn't get a picture, but that's a good idea for going forward. I remember doing that when TTC DC1.

Thanks @SmileyT 😊x
@Minster2012 well usually I always have just paid attention to my body before AF because I haven’t been on any contraception for a good few years now (except for using condoms) but usually before AF I always get really bloated, UTI symptoms, and a really horrible hollow achey feeling to my stomach as if my womb is just burning.
This month I’ve had sore veiny boobs (something I’ve never ever had before AF like never ever get sore boobs I only ever had soreness and veins when I was pregnant with DS)?!
I’ve had lower back pain like strange sharp twinges in my lower back.
And I’ve also had hot flushes and some mild twingey cramps in my tummy.

It could totally all just be a coincidence though?! I’m not one to symptom spot but I think because I have the exact same pre menstrual symptoms every month and can usually tell I’m going to come on the next day, this feels strange to me. Something In my heart is also telling me to ignore the BFN’s I’ve got (I know I probably sound like a lunatic just something feels weird to me about it) 😂
We shall see when I’m brought back down to earth tomorrow when AF arrives 🤣 xx

@onnaturescourse definitely get femometer then! It takes photos, logs them and interprets the results. Super useful to compare cycle to cycle as well. I've attached an example one of mine for reference.

If you're cd9 then I guess it probably wasn't your peak today. You sure the line was pretty dark?
