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 🍀🌈💕

Panicking today. Did an OPK this morning around 11am, nothing except a veryyyyy faint second line. I'm going to do another when I get home around 6pm. However I have had SO much CM today and I don't know a lot about what is what but I would say it's more EW consistency than anything. My problem is we can't DTD until tomorrow so I'm worrying that we might have missed our chance this time round as we haven't DTD at all this FW 😞. The only thing that's giving me some hope is that I have only ever once ovulated on CD14 (which would be tomorrow) in 3 years of tracking my ovulation days. My usual is more CD16/17. I haven't had a positive OPK yet either but I'm also slightly concerned I could have missed the surge. I tested once a day from Thursday last week. Sorry for the pointless ramblings (I know there's nothing I can do about it) just wanted to air my panics 🙈

@KateColx I've been wondering where u were my fellow CB & cycle buddy 🥰 I started mines yesterday (CD8) so on my second day of ⭕ I did a cheapy OPK yesterday & both were pretty dark, darker than I wouldve expected for the cycle day I'm on, but clearly not peak so I half expected a flashy this morning but no & my IC was still the same as yesterday. I'm gonna continue doing my IC twice a day justnow so I can get used to reading them, a lot harder than I thought tbh 😂 & hope for that flashing smiley v soon, I hope u get yours soon too 🤞🏻 One of my apps are predicting the 23rd but the rest 29th so way off of each other, I think me being 4/5 day late last month they've taken that into account.

Glad your feeling good this time around & less stressed 💛

@Ltay2 Try not to worry about it, I hear that EWCM can happen for a few days first before ovulation so doesnt necessarily mean u will get a peak tonight. Just make sure to do plenty of DTD when OH is able to 😂 & like u says your normally CD16/17. Got my fingers crossed your peak is still a few days away, but remember it only takes once theres girls on here who have only DTD on day of actual ovulation throughout there whole cycle & still got that BFP 💛

@KateColx if you're @KRK05 cycle buddy then we must be cycle buddy's too as me and @KRK05 are currently both on CD10 I believe! I think I'm supposed to ovulate around the 23rd and this is my 3rd day of ⭕️ but it is my first time using them so unsure when I ovulate or anything really.

Yes I love slimming world but I always get on the wagon then fall off and it goes round and round in circles although I think it is good to have a binge week now and again because it makes you more motivated when you jump back on! Thank you I think I'm back to only like a stone and a half loss at the moment but hoping to get that next half stone off again soon. I'm exactly the same I find myself making the same meals over and over again each week and I just get bored of eating! I'm even more bored of eating now I'm at home all day x

@33Carr it's so annoying isn't it! I always lose motivation after a couple of weeks in of dieting, I ordered myself a set of bathroom scales the other week because I don't have any in the house normally because I weigh at slimming world and just get obsessed with weighing myself otherwise but hoping it will motivate me to get out more. Well done on the walk I managed a 3 mile run and a 7 mile walk today was out of the house 4 hours but like you think it was good for my head. I get really bad anxiety and sometimes I just do not want to be in the house. This sunshine helps too!

@lucyrp Yeah I get what you mean about weighing yourself on scales. I was getting really down about my weight not changing last year even though I was losing body fat, PT said it was cause I was building muscle at the same time so better to just stick with pictures. I only weigh myself on Wednesday's and Saturday's now but I have a dress that I love and that's my goal! Not really fussed about what the scale says!
Good job on the running! Wish I enjoyed it! Might give the couch to 5k a go, I live near a canal so it's perfect for running, too many hills on the roads!

Hello everyone! Checking in after a few days away. CD9, have decided that it is time to put down the biscuits and try and get out for a walk every day. It was having to order new leggings which did it

Should be ov in the next couple of days. Told DP he we need to DTD every day for the next 5 days. Is that too much? Should i give his swimmers a day off to recharge?

Really need this to be my month after my MC. Feel like I'm going a little crazy and not even at the TWW. I'm doing fertility massages and yoga. Trying to not obsess but hard

@jaxs23 I don't think that's too much personally but me and OH normally DTD every day anyway and sometimes more than once whatever you feel comfortable with!

@33Carr I'm really missing the gym at the moment as I quite like to do weight training I prefer it over cardio! And I'm really not one for home workouts I tried doing joe wicks with my DS a few days in a row but it defo isn't for me 😂 I haven't ran in a few months so was hard work and I stopped a lot but was good to go do something. I think I need to go more by pictures as I don't think weight is an accurate measurement of where I want to be but I'm obsessed with a figure in my head and hard to get away from it 🙈there's a cycle path by me that I go on as its fairly flat

"better to be a gas bomb during AF than FW"

Gas bomb right before FW is me 😂🤦‍♀️

@KRK05 This is what I'm trying to remember! Half of my brain is in a panic and the other half is being logical 🤣

@lucyrp Me too! Never been a cardio gal, I do a fair bit of walking and that's my cardio done haha! I usually follow a weight training plan but only have little dumbbells at home so pretty much done zero work in 3 months! A bit scared of going back as I'll have so much to catch up on but at least it's progress! It's hard sometimes when you set yourself a certain goal for something and don't get there though/life deviates you from the plan! wether it be a weight goal or anything else in life!

Thanks @Lucyrp. I worry about low sperm count but DP is 34 and otherwise healthy. But sometimes that doesn't mean anything. I wish there was a magic formula for conceiving. A+C=bby

@33Carr I always try cardio in the gym every now and again to see if I've changed my mind on whether I like it or not 😂I don't really follow a plan as I've only been back at the gym probably 6 months and I'm finding squats quite difficult as I had an op on my knee ( not my knee joint but just above it so was reliant on the other knee for a while) so I get down and can't get back up😂 I'm the same but the gym is only 30 seconds down the road from me so have no excuse 😂

@jaxs23 my OH worries about low sperm count but he's only young so don't think he needs to worry but when TTC you worry about everything don't you!

Hi girls, I need a little advice? 3 days before my expected period I started becoming really really thirsty to a point where I would get dry mouth and so with this came needing a wee alot. That hasn't really stopped but doctor told me to stop drinking so much water asni was drinking around 4 litres a day maybe more. A day before my period I had one bit of brown discharge that was mixed with CM, with on and off cramps. Then today I started spotting, only need 1 pad for the whole day, have changed it once though as I felt disgusting not changing it. It's now stopped and I just kept one on just in case. But something started happening with my piercings, I have my septum done and both my stretchers and all of a sudden they've become sore and my nose feels infected when I've had them for a loooong time and never had any trouble. Any help??

@Lmac2018 that sounds pretty positive o would say, either totally weird or 🤞🏻🤞🏻I’m certainly hoping it’s the latter

@Noble89 so happy to see you over here I was worried you might not come back on MN 😩 we are actual twins my period has been a blood bath, but thankfully appears to have tapered off now. I'm expecting my peak around the 29th this month so think I will start CB on CD9 when will you start testing?

Welcome @Maybe333

@KRK05 you taking your folic acid? Yeah femometer when you see the cycle graph is very satisfying. Think I slept with my mouth open last night as hayfever was bad and I've got a dodgy temp which is pissing me off 😂

I didn't even consider testing at work, at the moment we're on reduced hours of 10-4 so it's fine around that but might need to shove a shot glass in my bag for when I'm back to full hours.

Also I feel you all on the diet/ exercise front I was a proper gym bunny/ netball player when I fell pg in Feb but after MC and with gyms closed I can't get back into a routine. I really want to be in the best shape possible and continue to exercise when pregnant but can't even do it not pregnant now so god knows what I'll turn into if I can use pregnancy tiredness as an excuse aswell 🙈 OH is also a feeder so that doesn't help

It's just crazy because this was the month where I was like 'nah I'm not' and when my period started I was like knew it but now it's just disappeared I'm kinda thinking maybe I am. I have had mild/severe cramps and back ache though

People are going to start thinking we all have a drinking problem with shot glasses in our bags - 😂 just for the odd emergency 🥃

@Lmac2018 The symptoms sound promising if they aren't usual AF symptoms! How many days DPO are you now?

I would be 13dpo but I don't feel like this could be implantation ...

My OPK tonight is 'high' according to Fermometer. Definitely a lot darker than it was this morning so I'll maybe do another one later tonight. I'm guessing that means ovulation is likely tomorrow?

@lucyrp @KateColx The 3 of us are identical (I'm 1 day out) all newbies to the CB too & tracking! Cant wait to compare when we all ovulate, hoping its same time so we can all be in TWW together 🤞🏻

@SmileyT Yeah I'm anemic anyway so I've been on Folic Acid a long time from doctors 🙈 its hilarious how annoyed we all get over something so silly 😂 I've missed 1 day so I was Pd off the whole day about it 🙄 Femometer has filled it in on what they wouldve thought it would be though so thanks Femometer 👌🏼 I have googled so much on temps cause I thought mines were too high but they seem normal & in range of pre-ovulation.

@Lmac2018 Have u taken a test? I'd maybe take one, keeping fingers crossed for u 🤞🏻
