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

@Skyla01 do you know when you ovulated? Time is dragging altho I do find this forum helps me pass the time without torturing dh! Good luck xxx

@MrsEmilyB sounds v promising - everything is crossed for you! I’m good just willing the next 2/3 days away and praying I don’t see aunt till 2021 lol xx

@TheLastStark I hope you have beginners luck! Welcome, the more the merrier xx

@Franklydear will you wait to test until af is late? Xx

@mumtoboyss I’ve only done that this month , this is mine. I missed a couple of days when I had a rash on my wrist but it has defo dipped. I am 8dpo today xx

@mumtoboyss I tagged you in another post that should hopefully help

@mumtoboyss I keep looking into this but I see no pattern at all with mine 🤷‍♀️ (I have pcos too). I feel like tracking your BBT is more reliable and proven.

How do I find posts I've been tagged in? Sorry I'm new to this haha. Oh does it dip?! I thought it rose 🤦🏼‍♀️lol
I have just started to do my bbt.
Thanks ladies xx

This is mine, I got excited thinking something was happening lol xx

@mumtoboyss that is a very good question 😂

@Mrsi2020 with you with wanting to will the days away! Not 100% sure when I ovulated. I could be late already but don't want to get hopes up so leaving it for a few more days and praying AF stays away!

I've found it thank you lol xx

@Skyla01 I’ve complained many times about the slowness of time, it is clearly broken...
I can’t remembered who ask, I want to try and wait until af is clearly missed, irregular periods here, as this is my seventh cycle, have tested many times, half of them convinced these symptoms cannot be anything but... I didn’t have periods for 11 years so I definitely didn’t remember this.

@Mrsi2020 - I'm not reading into anything just yet as I'm only 2dpo. But cervix is still high and soft (but still feels a little open so 🤷‍♀️) and CM is creamy. I'm guessing that is all normal post ovulation as nothing could have got going yet. I have all my fingers crossed for you!!, 🤞🤞🤞

@TheLastStark - welcome! We are also trying for #1 🍀

@OrangeJ that’s hilarious 😂 when do you plan on making ice cream....?😂 I would have done the same but I know I wouldn’t use it to its full potential!

@Fluffkins14 flashy smiley again today 🤦‍♀️ Ovulation boobs seem to be making an appearance so 🤞 for static in the next day or so!

What’s your smiley face situation today?!

CD25 - 11dpo and my RHR and BBT were down this morning so feel like my body may be getting ready for my period at the weekend 😕

Somebody share their morning BFP to lift my spirits please 🙏❤️

@SmileyT I feel I'm in the same position..
CD26, 10 DPO and my RHR remains low so what I thought could be an implantation dip is probably just my body gearing up for AF. It's infuriating though cause my cramps on 7/8dpo were everything that's described of implantation and yesterday I was absolutely knackered and passed out on the sofa which I never normally do. It was all sounding so positive!

@mumtoboyss as a general rule (there are always exceptions) your RHR peaks for ovulation and then is higher during the luteal phase than during the follicular phase. It tends to do a sharp dip for implantation but then needs to go high again. Women that get BFPs tend to have really high rhr by the time AF is due whereas it starts slowly dropping mid luteal phase if you had no implantation. CD1 RHR tends to be the baseline rhr for most i think so maybe take a look at what you had last time?

Thanks for the welcome 😊

I'm due on the 27th and one day past ovulation.

Of course yesterday I felt really off:

• way too much saliva having to swallow twice pretty much all day
• no appetite
• when I did want to eat I went from wanting pancakes, toast and chocolate in the space of half an hour

Of course way too early to have any symptoms but last night I also kept feeling stretching and almost popping in my tummy.

This is going to be a loooonnggg TWW😅

@Juno231 yeah I'm kinda tempted just to do a test and then I know for certain but going to wait until the weekend, when did you say you're testing?

I try to stay away from spotting stuff like implantation cramping as I'm not sure it's actually real for everyone🤷🏾‍♀️. From the reading i've done and what I've seen on forums it seems like most of us can't tell the difference between implantation cramping and PM cramping so I'm just not going to bother trying and getting myself all hyped about it 😐

@TheLastStark it's my first full cycle aswell after a MC in March and I've tried to note everything I feel. I swear I never realised how tired and hungry I get after ovulation or that I can kinda feel the egg moving through my tubes 🤯 but somebody suggested writing it all down so I know what's normal for me and I've found it very interesting. xx

Trying to keep up with you gals best I can!

Congrats to the BFPs! Super exciting 🎉

I know this was a fair way back in the chat, but regarding diet I'm afraid I just eat what I fancy 😬 fortunately for me I do usually fancy nutritious food and think I have a pretty well balanced diet, but I spent way too long in my teens/20s being obsessed with what was going in mouth I try to steer clear of that mindset these days. Ironically I am actually a baker now, and everything I cook and consume is full fat and no sugar substitutes. I eat cake most days 😂🍰

Plodding along on CD10 and 3 days of low fertility on CB digi opk. Blaaah. Hurry up smiley so I can get busy.

@SmileyT ha yes it's just typical I've never had pre-AF cramping before! And it didn't really feel like cramps, they were sharp twinges and pulling sensations, nothing like AF cramps at all 🤷‍♀️

I'll do a cheapie test tomorrow I think but won't waste any good ones on this cycle I don't think. Thing is even if I get a BFN tomorrow it'll only be 11dpo so I'll end up doing another at the weekend...

BFN for me ladies. 9dpo I know technically I could still be in but I always get bfps early , even if it was barely there but it’s ghostly white :( bet I’m on the June bus! Xxx

@Skip86 - daily cake sounds amazing 🍰😍

My temp has risen! Yay! Although now Natural Cycles is playing silly buggers with me 😭 given me an "ovulation window" to tell me I ovulated somewhere between cd17 and cd23!! So no idea how many dpo I am. It says CD19 is most likely based on temp, however I had a random spike (it was so hot that night) and I didn't get a positive OPK until CD21 so I reckon CD22 or 23 is more likely.

So, on SMEP, do we do 1 baby dance for luck now? Positive OPK was CD21, DTD that night and CD22 and 23. Skipped yesterday. My headache persists so for once I don't really want to!

@Mrsi2020 - you are still in, my lovely! Implantation can happen up to 12 days!!! Hoping it's a little embryo taking its time and enjoying the scenery!!

Sorry you didn't get that line @Mrsi2020 😔 but truly it is still so very early, and your body will work differently every time. Wait a few days and try again x

@MrsEmilyB your DTD history looks pretty epic, I'd say you're very safe to give today a miss, relax and get rid of that headache.
