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

I just feel bloated and headachy today, I slept a lot so it's not that, I am happy and regretful about not having any test in the house, rationally determined to wait till cd 30 to test, emotionally? I want it now!!

@Mrsi2020 I can see a bit of a shadow! How many DPO are you?
I've had a few shadows on internet cheapies though and it's been a negative.
I'm hopinh its too early for you to test and wishing you all the luck!!

@unluckyducky I've been using Ovia since just before March 2019 when we got married. Been off birth control for around Jan 2019.
I tried temping but I think I was doing it wrong and there was never a pattern! OPKs I tried once, but I got one pack from Wilkos and got negatives on all of them but I may have been testing at the wrong time.
We DTD at least once every 3 days and every day in what is supposed to be my fertile window but still no luck. :( I think I'm going to go on amazon if AF comes this month and bulk by OPKs and Pregnancy tests.
I have actually had a pregnancy before when I was 17 which I didn't follow through with (feeling very woeful about that nowadays) but back then I was 8 years younger and probably about 8 stone lighter
I think I might try and kid myself into thinking this is month one of PROPERLY trying with OPKs etc.
Sorry to bring the doom & gloom!!

@katkow I need the doom, is all too hopeful here and then af comes and I am trying to pick myself up again, I stopped birthday control in November, fairly convinced I would be pregnant by Xmas, no birth control=baby, right? That's why you cannot miss the pill even once...

@Franklydear I look back and laugh at all the "pregnancy scares" I had when I was on the pill.
Who knew it'd be so bloody difficult!

@Littlepeas2 yeah mine were pretty non stop at 7DPO and sharp at that! never had them before other than maybe at ovulation. Last night I was super tired as well and passed out on the sofa before bedtime, plus I dreamt very vividly this morning about getting a BFP so my brain has really set up me up for a crash landing lol. AF is due either Sat or Sun, depending on the app - so same as you I think!

@Mrsi2020 - I can't see anything but as I said to another of our lovely ladies earlier, phone cameras are so pants at showing true colour!

@katlow - welcome ❤️ this is a lucky bus so hoping it brings you luck too 🍀🤞 I'd highly recommend monitoring BBT and sticking with it as it can help identify hormone irregularities in your cycle as well as FW. OPKs are also mega useful (but frustrating at times!). I get feeling sad about previous PG but honestly even all the way up to about 22 years old for me would not have been the right time. We do what's best for us where we are at, and that is all we can do. Have you had any investigations?

Thanks girls, took a pic in window to see if it’s clearerB thanks for all yours replies , in car now so will get back on shortly lol xxx

@MrsEmilyB Thankyou!! I think I'm going to go all in next month and see what's going on with my dodgy cycle. Before COVID hit we had a doctors appointment booked to see what was going on but then we cancelled due to the strain on the GP's surgeries so we're going to be doing that first thing when everything calms down.

@Mrsi2020 Can't save the image as I'm at work and terrified of saving it on a shared drive hahaha but this one in the link below is the shadow I had which was negative

www.reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/emytd6/fresh_eyes_please/

Someone pointed out to me that it was in the wrong place so not sure whether it's worth comparing? I'm hoping and praying you get a BFP!

@unluckyducky Thanks! I'm going to have a read back through the thread now (I should have done this beforehand but it was kind of a desperation post when I started getting cramps)

@unluckyducky is this where you see it? I know of course these can be Evaps but they have to start somewhere so fingers crossed for us both xx

@Katlow yes! Mine looks like yours, not so good lol thanks for replying xxx

Yeah I see something , fingers crossed it’s something more tomorrow lol xxx

@RobinRose Yep that flashy was there again this morning BUT I've just done a cheap opk (dont want to waste clearblue 🤣) and my line is getting darker this is 5hours apart and cm definitely increasing, fingers crossed we both get our static tomorrow. Feeling more positive today x

@flufkins14 that’s good news! 🤞 for you! I think I’m going to stop using OPKs this month. I’m hoping I have ovulated and the OPKs just missed my surge? (If that can even happen) I definitely have had fertile cm.

Also, has anyone experienced period cramps 4/5dpo ish? (I’m guessing here as not sure I’ve even ovulated this month) I’ve had them all day?

@Fluffkins14!

@RobinRose, what CD are you on now? I'm CD 19 usually have 30day cycles so if I ovulate it's a bit late for me, have you got any cheap opk sticks you can do along side clearblue to see if you LH increases? I've had fertile cm a couple times this cycle wondering if my body was trying to ovulate but failing??

Rant: I have so much and so thick creamy discharge, that I thought af was coming

@Franklydear I think lots of cm can be a good sign for bfp!

@MrsEmilyB do you have any pics of your OPKs just before and after your peak with femometer?x

@Fluffkins14 I’m on CD15 and my last 3 cycles have been 24, 28, 26 days? The latest I would am expect to ovulate would be CD18 but nothing to indicate that is going to happen. No I have Cheapies! Think I might have to write this month off 😞

Woke up tired and feeling foggy. Have cramps, but more on the left. I’m 2dpo, I think, so it must mean nothing, but my god, it’s easy to read into! What else do you consider a very early pregnancy symptom? I need more boxes to tick/ignore as I see fit! And why oh why hasn’t someone invented a very early pregnancy test? We’re making medical breakthroughs all the time! (Though, I suppose, we wouldn’t get to have this lovely 2w natter if we all knew straight after dtd!)

@Fluffkins14 - sure thing! Here you go ❤️ my Cycles are usually 31 days and I ovulated so late this time around!

Does anyone know if migraines after ovulation is a thing? I have had a progressively worse headache turning into a migraine since yesterday morning. I usually take a mega 900mg dose of aspirin but I can't because of TTC. I usually get them the day before AF but I'm only 3dpo ish.

@MrsEmilyB I think it must be. That’s the reason I took a pregnancy test with my DD. I woke up with a terrible headache/migraine and felt a bit queasy. Had a BFP later that day.

I think so, I'm also coming down with a headache and I ovulated yesterday/the day before that
