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

@Franklydear you’ve got loads of possible symptoms! 🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@Sausage1990 that’s brilliant to hear !!! Do you know anything about soya milk in preg?! Xx

@newbie yes but this is the seventh cycle, so trying to be cautious and hold my horses, only cd 22... also headache explanable by trying to homeschool an autistic boy.

@MrsEmilyB omg I wish I had as much sex as you have 😮 my oh has a bad back at the mo so twice in my fertile window was all we managed 🤭

@SmileyT I also love seeing my chart ok different apps. I use Glo too, but it’s kind of annoying as I don’t think you can discard temps.

Here’s my chart if anyone wants a nose. I don’t get much of a big rise. Only like 0.4 or 0.5 degrees 🤷‍♀️ Feeling good in this TWW as I really believe we didn’t do enough so feel no need to test whatsoever lol.

I don't know if anybody else finds this, but after leaving the pill in November, my PM's symptoms are different every month and sometimes quite extreme, I have thought I must be pregnant a few times already, only to go on to have pretty bizarre afs.

@juno231 - thank you, that's really helpful.

@franklydear - I've also got a headache today 😩 had 3 in the last 5 days. I wonder whether its the weather?

@OrangeJ - your chart didn't attach, but I'd love to see. And it only takes one in the fertile window to make a baby!! 🤞

Haha. Oops. Sent in haste as my new blender turned up 😂😬

@OrangeJ - your chart is lovely too! I'm 2dpo (I think) and I've only had a 0.23 degree rise. Definitely not enough.

Does anyone have any idea how to increase/support progesterone naturally?

@Newbie0818 I asked the same question about when bbt drops and seems to be day before or day of AF so no really early clues 😕 this is my first month so I'll let ya know what happens - my app did point out I had an implantation dip which I thought was just filling me with false confidence but hey 🤷🏾‍♀️

@MrsEmilyB @OrangeJ love looking at a good chart, I find it so interesting, how different peoples are but also that people doing different things can all get pregnant it's pretty amazing (frustrating but amazing)

And sorry absolutely no idea about increasing progesterone naturally sorry maybe you could speak to your GP? @MrsEmilyB

@SmileyT oh wow, is that a common thing then? The implantation dip?

@SmileyT I think I may have to. Although with everything going on with Covid, I don't want to waste their time. I know they'd want to do blood tests etc, which they probably won't do currently.

@Sausage1990 that’s brilliant and very reassuring, thank you so much 😊

@OrangeJ oooo what blender did you go for?

@MrsEmilyB I’ve come across these to do with progesterone. Might be worth a look if you haven’t already read about it all 🤷🏼‍♀️

@newbie0818 - thank you ❤️ sleep and stress - I definitely have too much of one and not enough of the other 😂 I may order some L-Arginine for next cycle

@mrsemilyb I hear you on that! It’s so hard to keep relaxed right now isn’t it. I was going to get some too but it’s in my Pregnacare supplements. Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight!

@RobinRose I got totally lost down a rabbit hole and ended up deciding I really needed one I could make soups, ice cream and peanut butter in 😂 so got a Magimix Le Blender in the end 😅 all I’ve done so far is clean it but it’s super powerful. 1200w and my last was 400 😱 it’s a beast!

@orangej lol at all I’ve done so far is clean it. You sound like me!

How are all you ladies today?! Xx

@Mrsi2020 time is moving slowly!! My AF is due any day now. Trying not to get my hopes up but really hope I can get to the end of the week so I can test. I have a good feeling.... but I've had that before and it meant nothing! Oh the joys of TTC. How are you?

@mrsi2020 - I'm okay thank you! Had pulling pains in my right ovary region today so I'm hoping it's a good follicle just popped! I've got that jittery 2ww feeling which I hate and I'm soooooo tired! Hoping for a nice snuggly sleep tonight. How are you?

@Newbie0818 yeah apparently people can get an 'implantation dip' in BBT but my research shows me that you get a dip due to oestrogen surge in luteal phase and it is more common in pregnancy charts (basically all articles seem to be based on FF app statistics) but also happens in quite a lot of non-pregnancy charts so not reading too much into it.

@MrsEmilyB I've seen a lot of people on here just having chats with GPs and basically just getting into the system for when everything lightens a bit but totally understand you not wanting to put extra pressure on nhs now.

Hey guys, sorry to barge in mid-thread but looking for other people who'll be testing in May.

This is my first cycle for first baby, so full of excitement and nerves😄

Cd 23 tomorrow, we are in business, now if we can get to cd30 without af, then we will be talking

@TheLastStark hello! Ttc for the first time is really exciting! Do you know when your period is due?

@Franklydear hope the week goes quickly for you- time is on the go slow for me.

Sorry to butt in guys just wanted to ask a quick question, does anyone monitor there resting heart rate? I no it's meant to go up slightly when u ovulate I think right? How long does it stay up for? Just wondering coz I have pcos and very irregular cycles ( sometimes go 5months without) and due to covid not on any meds yet.
thank you xx
