Hoops, Rings and May Bus 3 Things!

[MrsEmilyB]

Hi Ladies,

So we seem to be absolutely hammering through our May Bus 2 thread. My gosh we can chat! But you have been vital to my sanity this cycle ❤️❤️❤️ I've tagged as many as i can think of at the end of a working week 🤯 please tag the others as I absolutely haven't the brain power!

@RobinRose @babyG123 @SmileyT @Ltay2 @Positivetime @GingerBaby89 @Sausage1990 @firsttimetry @Minster2012 @coronababy

Hi everyone, luckiest bus ever! Congratulations, cracked double digit bfps
@CoronaBaby amazing news I hope that's a sign for the rest of the 14 May testers. I am doing everything I can do avoid poas.. weekend kept me very busy which helped pass time. @vintagemoo there's still time
It's Mother's Day here in NZ today, hopeful to join the club next year

@Readyformyeggy - hi and welcome! Ooh you're good; waiting until AF hasn't shown! I think I'd have caved! Fingers crossed for you.

@SmileyT - I know! They moan about the amount of sex during FW then get disappointed when you don't jump on them during the 2ww! Men, eh? When are you testing?! @eljoy Can't believe we've had 1 a day thus far - what an amazing bus! Please, please let it continue! Going to feel like everyone is PG but me otherwise haha

Gosh my posts are all wonky. To summarise, wiped some light blood earlier, supposedly 9dpo according to flo at CD27. Its my second cycle after removing the implant, and the previous one lasted 33days. So could be AF as my body is still adjusting.

@SmileyT @Skyla01 @franklydear
Thanks ladies. I’m now fairly certain it’s af, just very light. I’m used to heavy ones so my cycle playing games again.

Woohoo @Positivetime Congratulations!!

@Juno231it is such a lucky bus and I think lockdown is helping everyone get busy... We all have more time (as a general rule) so have more time to prioritise DTD without life getting in the way.

@MrsEmilyB I agree with that & hope the luck continues or I'll feel really left out 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@WildButterfly or could be implantation! 🤞

I have turned into a negative diva today. Already decided now this month is a write off. Weather not helping so miserable. Not sure mentally I am going to manage months on end

Could be @Juno231.. but there’s an all too familiar cramp lingering as well. We shall see, I might hold back on actively trying for a couple of months and see if my cycles regulate a bit more.

I think we’re all feeling the pain @popcorndiva as much as it’s lovely to hear of all the positive tests it does get you down after a bit, especially if you’ve been trying for a while.

I’m sure you’ll get there soon. Maybe this month even. 😊

Ohh @popcorndiva I'm sorry you feel so crummy today. Is there anything inparticular making you feel like that? Sending a big squeeze.

Wow such a lucky bus congratulations on the BFP. Fingers crossed for more xxxx

@MrsEmilyB I definitely have a much higher sex drive than my OH but however I dress it up I feel like scheduling sex just makes it a bit more shit for me, been enjoying it much more in TWW with a couple days in between to keep it interesting. I'm testing on the 20th as one app predicts period will start on 19th so still 10 sleeps to go if period doesn't start first! What date will you be testing if you ovulate today?

@Newbie0818 for what it's worth, with my DS2 I did an instream test on 13DPO, put the test down, wiped and saw a fair bit of blood on the paper, annoyed I'd even wasted a test and gutted AF had hit. Light bleeding continued a few hours. Remembered the test sitting there and looked at it - BFP! Was SO confused. Turns out I was definitely preg and the bleeding eventually tapered off, and then had minor spotting through first 10 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
DS1 I had absolutely zero bleeding the whole time.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that implantation bleeding is so annoyingly variable, our bodies play ridiculous tricks. Booo.

Aargh sorry @Newbie0818 only just saw you said she's definitely on her way. I'm sorry x

@Positivetime amazing!! And there you were feeling so un-positive! Haha woo 🎉💗

@MrsEmilyB *adds g-tickler to cart

@popcorndiva sorry you're feeling rubbish. Is there something you can do to relax and take your mind away from TTC? Bath, meditation, reading? How is your OH at massages..? 😍

Just eaten a crunchie to get that Friday feeling on a Sunday.

@Skip86 wow thats amazing! You’re right, everyone’s body is so different and wonderful.
Don’t be sorry at all, I’ve been so jumpy and all over this place on this thread.

I think this cycle has just been so long and confusing, I want this so badly and I’m just worried that my biggest fear is starting to come true :/ thank you all for your support, I’m sure you’re just about as fed up of my saga as I am! Fx for continued luck on this thread 🤞🏼✨💜

@popcorndiva sorry your feeling out of sorts, no one warns you how draining this TTC business is do they! I find the TWW most difficult. Is there something you can do to keep yourself occupied? Colouring book, jigsaw puzzle, painting? Baking? Absolutely anything that takes your mind off the situation, Even if it’s just for an hour!

Symptom spotting has well and truly begun for me! Lots of cm, cervix is high and soft and I had twinges and pulls on my lower right hand side of my abdomen - same side I had ovulation pains. 🤞🤞

@popcorndiva feeling the same, already feeling like I'm out and only 7dpo.. Ttc is a very emotionally hard time.. Good luck 🤞

@MrsEmilyB your comment made me laugh 😂!

@SmileyT - usually we are quite on par, or even sometimes his is higher! But the last couple of months have been crazy for him with work and the coronavirus stuff and that has hugely affected his libido. He hates being cooped in the house and he is working 12 hours a day too. I'd be knackered after that! I hate scheduling sex too! I've been trying to spice it up by doing it at different times, dressing up and what not. If O day is today, then AF would be due between 22nd-24th May dependant on how long my luteal phase is. I'm going to hold out to test, if I can, until at least the 21st. I'm sure I'll cave though 😂 how long are your luteal phases usually?

@Skip86 - welcome to your new world of orgasms! 😂

@newbie0818 - it's so hard when your cycle is out of whack isn't it. 2 cycles ago I had a random 47 day cycle which was awful. My BBT was crazy, I didn't ovulate until CD37 either. Are yours usually like that?

@juno231 - ahh they are all good signs!! 🤞

@RobinRose - I do try 😅 how are you today?

@mrsi2020 @Minster2012 how are you ladies?

@Juno231 that all sounds promising! I can't even really be bothered to symptom spot this month. Just hoping that AF style cramps stay away because they always signal impending doom!

@Newbie0818 ah that's rubbish. I really hope that your cycle starts to regulate. This ttc is a pain with regular cycles, so must be hard for you. We all want this badly. Sometimes it's hard to keep the faith.

@MrsEmilyB well my cycles seem to be progressively longer each time so I’m thinking there’s an underlying issue now and not a random situation :/ 32,33,36,46 and now 52. At least I’ll be able to get my bloods done if the surgery lets me this month.

@skyla01 it’s so incredibly frustrating. I wish I had a shorter wait as I’m just feeling like there’s something wrong with me now :( my husbands family are all super fertile with loads of kids as well so they’re constantly dropping hints about us “getting on with it” etc. Sometimes I just want to scream “I’m trying my best!”. It is hard to keep positive at times.
How are you getting on?

Anyone ever get cramps straight after ovulation? I think I ovulated yesterday but have been getting cramps today so confused
