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 🍀🌈💕

@Cocoblue22 I think its baby dance- basically sexy time

Welcome and best of luck @Georginawalk!!
Bd is baby dancing @Cocoblue22 means sex. I just say sex or doing it personally lol!

Ok so I have done another 2 OPKs today and they still show nothing, so I am assuming that my peak was late Weds/early Thurs and I just missed it. I've added a manual result in for Weds night as peak so that Fermometer isn't thrown off by the EWCM I put in on Tuesday as it seems to class any day with EWCM as ovulation day unless you register a peak OPK. I think I am safe to assume that my ovulation day was likely Thursday in this case but will do one more OPK tomorrow just to make sure it's still blank. CM today is a lot lighter and more creamy again too.

@Georginawalk hello fellow slimming world friend! I have been doing slimming world since last January!

@georginawalk Welcome😀 if you're not sure on your cycle length just do it every other day if you can (will make sure you're covered!)

@Ltay2 from the pics I think it's safe to say you ovulated on the 20th May- don't forget tho an LH peak means egg is going to be released in the next 24-36hours and can stay alive for I think around 12- so just DTD now and hope for the best! Think you may still have a slim chance to get in there

@lucyrp @georginawalk I joined slimming world as I've gained 24lb since getting married! It was prior to my miscarriage and I was on it for 8 weeks and lost 5lb. Unfortunately I Have comfort ate all of that weight back during quarantine and feeling sorry for myself but due to join group again next weds

Heard it's really good to maintain your weight in pregnancy too x

@Mococo1 I was around 8 and a half stone before I had DS and I lost it all after I had him but when he was around 2/3 I piled about 3 stone on and I didn't even realise how big I was until it was too late so joined slimming world in the January and lost a stone or so and then I found out I had gallstones in summer which accounted for another stone of weight loss as I was in and out of hospital and couldn't eat and anything I did came straight back up! I put some weight back on after I had an endoscopy and could eat again and over Christmas so started again this January. I've lost around a stone and a half now with putting it back on so hoping to get it back off. According to my scales I've only out on 4 pounds since lockdown 🤨 @Georginawalk

I'm also worried about how pregnancy will affect my gall bladder as I decided not to have it out as haven't had any problems since , touch wood. Has anyone had experience with it ?

Hello ladies hope your all doing well 🥰 says I would still keep up with the thread even though not TTC this month so I've had a catch up, which was very amusing reading for the day 😂

I have to agree the FW sex chat is much better than the symptom spotting TWW chat 😂

I decided straight after DS hurt himself that TTC was out this month so haven't been doing my OPKs or temping but felt bit better today (slowly recovering from the shock) so says to my OH I'm gonna do an IC everyday from today just not religiously cause I'm curious of when I do ovulate so I just done one & after missing 3 days now & got peak straight away so dipped my CB in same urine & got static smiley (the happiness seeing that was the boost I needed right now 😂) it's amazing feeling to just know your body is working cause when u start for the first time u think omg what if I dont ovulate & all those questions. I really dont think we will be DTD anyway cause I've just not been in the mood, neither of us have 🙈 when my DS does go to sleep I basically just sit & stare at him 🙄

But its positive for next month & be interesting to see if I ovulate around the same time, its CD12 for me today.

@Mococo1 Yeah I am going to take it that as my surge was Wednesday then I probably ovulated Thursday. We aren't trying this cycle now anyway due to OH being out of action so don't need to worry about DTD but I'm just keeping on testing and tracking to get to know more about my cycles to try and pinpoint when I ovulate for future reference 🤓

@KRK05 hope you enjoyed hearing of our ventures and outfits😉😂 hope you and DS are keeping okay and it's great that you now know when you ovulate and hopefully will be the same for you next month if you're ready to TTC again🥰

Hahaha sorry working 10-4 in the office and my manager is a big fan of a long conference call from her sofa so the rest of the day just flies past, so much to catch up on 😂

I'm not going to tag everyone as I cba but no DP definitely only goes once, I'm definitely a selfish lover and have a much higher sex drive than him, I also have no issues with a handful of juice 🙈 I'm seriously jealous with those that get it everyday, my DP works about 8 nights a month so he gets a break then.

I had actually never used toys with my DP but after reading the May bus i decided that I would just ask next time we were in bed and DP loved it, always had a little one in my bedside drawer anyway for when he goes to clean up 😂 my OH is the most amazing person but honestly so vanilla for my taste, luckily he loves to make me happy the only thing he says no to is me sticking something up his bum so now I suggest it constantly to wind him up.

Welcome to the madhouse @Georginawalk 😜

Just walking in the door now from work and he has to leave at 5.30 for a night shift, but it's 1st day of SMEP for us so quick shower then time to bang 💥

And for clarity normally for me it's once in foreplay, once in sex then if I see he is getting close I'll pull him out so I get another go and then he finishes me or i finish myself after he's cum 😝

Apologies in advance if this is TMI for anybody xx

@SmileyT No TMI here ! Ooo I would love to stick something up OH bum but he's never too keen on jt unless he's really in the mood 🙈
Me and OH don't tend to do foreplsy that much 😳 there's no need 😳🙈

I am very vanilla too, but much more active in fw, I wonder if still will when I no longer have an agenda...

@Franklydear Same 🤣

@Ltay2 I truly didn’t realise how much the pill affected my libido, I won’t be going back to that, I’ll have to do some research....

Hi everyone

I'm new to mumsnet and TTC #1, have not long turned 32. Came off the mini pill end of March, had AF (sort of) April and since then started tracking ovulation/period with an app (purely just to initially track periods as I was concerned after being on the pill so long with no period they might take months to come back). Didn't get any pre-AF symptoms last month so actually thought I may be pregnant (thinking wow surely it's not going to be that easy!) but then AF arrived today - a day late and just when I was considering a test. A bit disappointed, but then on the upside at least I know / hopefully I'm into a proper routine as this one seems heavier than last time already (sorry TMI) so I guess I was ovulating. Read that the first one after the pill is withdrawal so I guess this is the first one.

Wishing everyone best of luck this month!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who married a vanilla man then lol! I'd forgotten I even had my sex toys until you lot reminded me lol! Have just asked DH where I put them lol! I think I'll have to invest in new ones considering I've not touched them in years 🙈
@SmileyT @lucyrp you two sound like me with the wind up around putting stuff up his bum 😂 he's a firm no but I still tease lol!

@Franklydear I stopped taking the combined pill years ago because I thought it was making me feel depressed which I guess is similar in ways. I was going to try the coil but my GP advised me not to as I had negative experiences on mini pill before and was told it's similar to that. I've never been a fan of condoms so I did some research and then happened across Natural Cycles app and have been using that ever since for prevention. Basically works exactly the same as TTC but the opposite and is £40 per year for the app then all you need is a thermometer and your LH (OPK) strips.

I wouldn't use the contraceptive injection again personally. It made me gain a load of weight and made me depressed. Both of which I didn't realise until I stopped I having it. Contraception is horrific for women 😩

@lucyrp well done! I really wanted to Lose the weight before we start TTC but ended up preg! Thought I will start now whilst ttc and will try maintain if I do get pregnant and lose it all after! I lose a measly 0.5/1pound a week so would take me ages to lose the 20lbs and I cba to wait another 7/8months!

@frankleybear I'm convinced the pill made me gain weight!

@notyetamumbuttrying don't worry my DH is vanilla too 😂

@Mococo1 Thank you! It is such hard work losing weight! I gave up as soon as we hit lockdown because I was trying not to go to the shop so much because of how hectic it's been and couldn't get online delivery slots so was just eating everything and anything in the cupboards and freezer! I was walking quite a lot at the beginning then had a lazy period when I thought I was pregnant and thought oh no point now but hoping to get back on top of it now while TTC and doing exercise will hopefully help that too!

CD14 and its the big O day. DTD last night but won't be today cos I've buggered my back/neck and actually feel so crappy and dizzy with it 😭 so I'm hoping last night's deposit does the trick.

This might be TMI but does anyone find the little swimmers make your orgasm more intense? We've been using condoms for 2 years, and have climaxed together since TTC however last night I finished after him and by jesus it was intense.

I definitely remember why I never used to like condoms!!! (unfortunately I can't take most other contraception 😭)

well done on your weight loss stories, just make sure you don't starve your bodies! And plenty of omega 3 around conception and implantation- salmon/ linseed 😘
I've cut down on my hard interval workouts and just enjoying my slow runs and cycling at the moment, exercising really helped me during corona. Yoga also good, been trying to do some stretches during lunch to help keep motivated whilst working from home

@blodyn91 slimming world is really good I think I've eaten more on the slimming world diet than I actually did before! 😂 I'm trying to get out walking most days and running twice a week

@OnNaturesCourse We have always finished at the same time but I'm sure someone else said something about it's better finishing after their DP has so I'm gonna have to give it a go tonight!
