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 🍀🌈💕

@Pixielou16 Are you able to get all of those from Amazon? I'll be honest I haven't heard of some of them so feel like I should get up to speed

@bubblybon2020 welcome & there’s a few of us with similar back stories so sending hugs. 🥰fingers crossed your cycle is back to normal,

I’m on CD8 so similar, we’ve been DTD every other day at least & ive started to use IC OPKs today to try to see when ovulating as no idea what my cycle is like really

@Minster2012 it's nice to see such lovely support, to one another! And yes very similar! We've also been DTD every other night too, and hoping to stick to it until AF next arrives, to cover all bases! Hoping we're going to be lucky for June 🤞🏻xxx

@Sleeeeeepy oh, please don't - I'm just a crazy woman! I read It All Starts With The Egg and went a bit ham on buying everything with very little direction, but now I feel if I stop taking them, it could mean the difference between baby or no baby, if you get me? It's best to check with a doctor before taking anything too - although I'm terrible and didn't, given that they're a bit busy currently.

Hi ladies,
Can I join? June's bus, I'm not new but haven't been on here for a while. This is my 9th cycle of ttc baby N0. 3. Had a miscarriage in October so hopefully my body is ready to go again.

Well girls my AF finally arrived tonight after being 5 days late so I'm happy I'm finally on CD1 & ready for this cycle 🤞🏻💜

Hi all 👋🏼
I'm new to MN and been hanging out on a May thread, but realised after a while that everyone is way ahead of me in their cycles! I've had a scroll through here and think your dates are far more suited to me and my silly questions ☺️
MMC at 11 weeks in early Feb (Had a D&C on 14 Feb as a Valentine's present! 😭) and this will be first month TTC for us since then.
CD 8 for me so I think same/similar to a few of you and I'm in the right place?!

Hello @Pixielou16, totally get the extra vitamins thing, that’s why I didn’t want to get into loads of them but then you think hmmm how many cycles do I go before adding more?

Welcome to @Mummyloves09 & @Skip86, more miscarriages I’m sorry to hear, but hoping bodies are raring you go now. @Skip86, what a horrible valentines present but fingers crossed there’s been decent time now- have your cycles settled down? I had a medicated miscarriage in March after missed miscarriage & im still not sure mine are after 3 bleeds so far but I’m really hoping this one is the one it really is settled.

CD9 now here now so def around similar stages to a lot of ladies and we are in the right place

Full on trying to do the IC OPKs for me currently but still getting stark zeros, I’ve only ever had one slight variance above that last cycle and tomorrow I will start to use the clear blue too so I don’t miss OV 🤞🏻

Thanks @Minster2012 🥰 and sorry to hear about your MMC.
Cycles haven't really settled completely - I was always bang on 28 days, no spotting before/after, 4 day moderate bleed every time. Whereas the few periods I've had since MC have been all over the shop. The one that I've just finished was heavy for nearly 6 days then spotting for 2 days after! I still had a little pink when wiping this morning and horrible cramps so not sure what's going on? My only concern is that such a heavy, long bleed would not be great for preparing womby for eggy..

Oh and I've just realised I'm also CD9, not 8! I have a DS who took about 6 month to conceive. I was so confident every month that I knew my body sooo well and didn't need to bother tracking, got fed up after 5 months and cracked out the CB digi opk, realised I was O'ing 3 days later than I had always thought - wham, preg that month!
So, this time I'm bring out the big guns from the beginning. CB digi all the way! Plus some ICs just for fun 🎉

@bubblybon2020 @Mummyloves09
Welcome! Sorry to hear about your MC, hopefully this is your month 🤞🏼

@Pixielou16 Wow that is an extensive list, I thought mine was long! I know about the first 3 but what are all the others for?

@KRK05 Ah sorry AF arrived, but at least now you have a fresh new cycle to start again!

@Skip86 Oh wow what a horrible valentines present 💔 I am CD6 today so similar!

I am hoping this month is my month, probably setting myself up for disappointment but I feel I am going all out this time with supplements and extensive tracking, of course it doesn't guarantee anything but it makes me feel like I'm making more of an effort. Going to aim to DTD every other day in FW until after I know I have ovulated too. It's only early stages in the cycle but I also feel more calm and positive this time round. Maybe because I know more about what's normal for my body now and so won't go crazy in TWW symptom spotting?! I am a long way off TWW yet but just going to try and assume everything I notice is PMS so as not to get my hopes up, as the likelihood is that it actually is PMS!

@Ltay2 I can't even remember half of it! Nacetylcysteine is to make CM more plentiful and stretchier, amino acids are to reduce oxidative stress in cells. Myo-inositol is for PCOS, CoQ10 for egg quality, Agnus Castus to regulate cycle after a horrific 63 day one, magnesium for blood flow to the uterus. It Starts With The Egg is a good book to read, it goes through it all in there. Also What to Expect Before You're Expecting x

@Pixielou16 I will definitely look into those books! I have been trying so hard to drink lots of water the last few days as I never drink enough. I've managed to get 2L water every day on top of any other hot drinks I have and I have noticed a difference in amount of CM already. I guess my body was just too dehydrated before to waste energy on CM which in hindsight is so obvious.

@Ltay2 I'm working on the same. I drink a lot of water when I'm at work but I fail when I'm at home.

@Pixielou16 I am so bad at keeping up I don't know why. I can have a glass of water in front of me all day and just never drink any! I've found since getting my Fitbit on Friday it has helped as I get a satisfaction from adding it in bit by bit over the day and seeing it as a challenge completed when it ticks it off 🙈

Hi all - new to mumsnet hoping to start trying in July (as I suspect I won’t be able to have my implant out this month for June bus .

@Charlotte2020 if you don’t mind me asking how recent did you have the coil out? I phoned up to have my implant removed and they said they couldn’t do minor surgeries and weren’t sure when (inc coil and implant removal). Are you UK based also?

Thanks

@abilouise93 I had mine out last week. Receptionist said they weren't doing removals, but I spoke to the gp and she was happy to!

@Pixielou16 wow your vitamin list is making my folate seem very measly 😕 Will be googling your whole list and adjusting my intake!

Girls I have never had such a long period, still pink on CD 9. Just a bit bummed that we waited patiently after MC to try again and I was so excited to start, and now body is being a right pain. Do you think it'll effect my lining if I ovulate in 5 or so days?

@Charlotte2020 that is so odd and annoying at the same time. My GP don’t do them and refer you to a hospital sexual health clinic which is probably why I can’t have it out.

I might phone the GP and see what they can do.

@abilouise93 I was very surprised she offered to do it. She was gowned and masked as if she was about to do major surgery on me which wasn't very relaxing! If you speak to a gp they might be able to refer you somewhere?

@Charlotte2020 I can imagine, doesn’t sound nice! Probably give them a ring this afternoon - as we really want to start trying. Especially now my wedding is probably going to get cancelled in July no need to wait now.

@Skip86 what did you do in between your MC & now? The reason I ask is I thought it was April... & so il afraid that’s not long & periods are often heavier (My EPU warned me) after MC especially ones with medicinal involvement. I phoned the EPU as mine went miscarriage,28 days AF, then CD12 AF appeared again, I phoned they said normal & if TTC count is as bleeding so CD11 another AF appeared, I phoned again & they said it’s not unusual after medicated or D&C to be very weird cycles /bleeding for a few months. I was gutted but the last one was 4.5 days & so I’m hoping that was a good clear out & now back to level playing field.

I’m sorry you are still bleeding hopefully it will stop but you may find this cycle is weird 😥
Big hugs it’s shit when you just want to get going

@Ltay2 I'm feeling the same as u for this cycle. It's not that I think I'm gonna be so lucky & get that BFP so setting myself up for disappointment if I dont it's more I know now I'm tracking OPKs & BBT so giving myself the best chance & that's all we can do really 🙏🏼 of course if I did get that BFP I'd feel super lucky & blessed.

I'm gonna give the drinking more water a try too, I'm more coffee & fizzy juice (so much caffeinated drinks) so that's not good il need to cut down my intake.

When is everybody's AF due? My apps are saying different days, must be cause I was late this time. So 2 are saying 12th June & 2 are saying 8th June. So I'm gonna go by the 12th June & if I make it to then, then test on the 13th 🤞🏻💛

@KRK05 Yes that's a good positive attitude and all we can do 🙌🏼

AF would be due for me 5th/6th June depending on which app I go off!

@Ltay2 I mean I'm trying but I'm pretty sure this was my attitude at the start last cycle then 2nd week of TWW I was crazy 🤪😂 definitely gonna try not to this cycle though it makes the TWW feel like 2 months 🙈

Are u going to test early or hold off?

@KRK05 Yeah same 🤣 I'm going to try and keep thinking that any 'symptoms' I may see this TWW are nothing and I'm glad I've had one crazy month to know now that I have experienced them before and it turned out to be nothing so maybe that will help to not go toooo crazy! I tested early last time and it didn't help me at all so I'm going to hold off as much as possible this time.
