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

@RobinRose and @Fluffkins14 I remember how frustrating it was to wait for the static! FC it will be here soon. I think I ovulated 2 or 3 days later than normal this cycle too so I think there is something in the air!

@Positivetime that's a nice strong line you have there!

@GingerBaby89 congratulations!! Another bfp to add to the list!!

I'm still waiting to see if AF turns up in the next day or two. No sign of her yet. Really trying not to think about it too much!

Congratulations @Positivetime and @GingerBaby89 xx

@Positivetime @GingerBaby89 Huge Congratulations!! 🥳💕

I got my positive OPK today so here we go again with the TWW and cue the longest 2 weeks of the month 😂

Thinking it might be worth anyone that has got a bfp to list any symptoms they had lost ovulation?

Might help with all those starting the 2 week wait lol

@Fluffkins14 oh no 🤦‍♀️! I’m fed up now 🤣

@MrsEmilyB I hope so! I didn’t realise you can test more with the clear blue once you have reached high so will test again later today

@hopefulmummie I don’t think there is anything that would help me in the tww, except a time speeder perhaps, can it be the 21st already?

@GingerBaby89 - I see lines on both those! Congrats!!

@Positivetime congrats!!!

Xxx

@MrsEmilyB
The only thing I did different was following the SMEP plan! It was so hard doing it three days in a row and very nearly gave up! I also think it may have had something to do with my husband not commuting into London for work during this time because that just tires him out!
Thank you all for your good wishes. I love how us Women are so kind to one another it’s really nice!

I really do wish you all the best and hope these coming weeks bring you all good luck cos everyone deserves good news.

@MrsEmilyB thanks - I hope not, I’m only drinking about 200mls a day atm of soya unsweetened, hopf it’s not doing any harm :( xx

@SmileyT 7up free was my fave, I’m now addicted to lime cordial (Tesco’s own is my fave) in plain water. Asda do a lemon and lime no added sugar squash you could add into soda water? Stevia is meant to be the healthiest as it’s natural, the rest are man made xx

@MrsEmilyB thanks ! It’s been over a long period so doesn’t feel like the big achievement it actually is,lol but thanks xx

@Minster2012 you’re right! I’m just scared after 2 mc’s this year, think I’d try anything to get preg quick and have a sticky 🤣🤣🤣 xxx

@Ltay2 - lifesum has a free version and is excellent! Also, regarding food - I'm a huge believer in just doing what you can! Nourish your body with good, wholesome food and that's the best thing you can do! I've been pretty food obsessive most of my life, so rules are good for me haha.

@Minster2012 - totally agree. Being super strict, for me, works for my very perfectionist tendencies, and I'm a control freak! But I definitely don't think it's "necessary". My anxiety just works best with a strict set of rules haha.

@mrsi2020 - people who have soy as a staple all over the world get pregnant! So don't fret if it's not possible for a switcharoo. I've been drinking unsweetened almond and love it, although I've never been a fan of soya milk.

@Positivetime - ahh we've done SMEP too this month, with a few extra baby dances as I thought I was ovulating when I wasn't haha.

@GingerBaby89 & @Positivetime congratulations ladies! 🥳

@MrsEmilyB ahh I hope the plan has worked for you too! 🤞

@MrsEmilyB I've never heard of Lifesum but will have a look. I am just going to try my best and make a conscious effort to eat more healthily and drink lots of water I think that's my most realistic goal!

@Ltay2 - and that goal is plenty ❤️❤️❤️

@MrsEmilyB I am doing well so far with the water, that's my biggest downfall. I have noticed increased CM from not being so dehydrated too which is good. Just downloaded Lifesum it's so much nicer looking than My Fitness Pal but I can't edit macro goals without subscribing 😞

Morning ladies. Just catching up on the chat! A huge congratulations to everyone who has received the BFP, so exciting!!

I’m a teacher so have been in and out of work which has been good as my mind has been busy. But I haven’t got any symptoms what so ever. Literally nothing!!

Still 4 days to go 😩

Ladies, I’m incredibly excited. My femometer just arrived, so I’m going to start temping from tomorrow.

How do you do girls do it? Do you set an alarm or just trust that you’ll wake up the same time each morning...?

@Ltay2 - ahh boo. I don't know what their default setting is at! It's a loose guide anyway 😊 most days I'm slightly under on my protein and slightly over on my carbs!

Argh water is such a downfall for me too. 8 weeks ago literally all we drunk was coffee and fizz 😂 I've migrated to squash and less coffee, but I really struggle to drink enough plain water haha

Congrats to the BFP today xxx

But squash counts as water, innit?😳😂

@MrsEmilyB I'm still going to use it alongside MFP anyway, will keep me busy inputting all my food data as well as TTC data into all my apps 🤷🏼‍♀️ I thought working from home would really help me drink more water, no need to cut off at a certain time to avoid needing a wee on my long commute home but no such luck, still staring at the same glass of water I had at 8.45am this morning 🤣

@Franklydear I would say squash counts, better than nothing!

@Newbie0818 I have an alarm set for 6am everyday where I just quickly take my temp then go back to sleep until I need to get up for work if a weekday 🙂

@MrsEmilyB & @Ltay2 I also struggle with taking in enough fluids every day. I really dislike the taste of just plain water so inevitably resort to flavoured spring water a lot but no idea if that’s ok too 🙈😂

@Skyla01 I have seen quiet a few ovulate later than normal this month 🤷🏻‍♀️ kinda glad I'm not alone, I've been doing the femometer strips alongside CB and my LHis slowly rising 🤞🏻

@RobinRose
So am I, i contemplated giving up this cycle but I've been doing internet cheapies alongside the clearblue and they are slightly darker today so I'm now thinking carry on till maybe Friday? I didn't know you could test again the same day with the clearblue is this set ones?
