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

@MrsEmilyB on CD21 did you hold your urine just 2hours? I've attached a pic on my OPKs one from 11am and one from 3.30pm, should I test every couple of hours now? I'm worried I'm going to miss my surge! Thank you for your reply x

@RobinRose what are your cheap OPKs saying? Are the lines getting darker? I've just done 2 different cheapies and look nearly positive so going to try the clearblue. I want to give up but feel there is hope it's a late ovulation like @MrsEmilyB

@RobinRose I HAVE A STATIC!!!! and 2 positive opks I'm CD19 there is hope!!

@MrsEmilyB would you say this is definitely a leak

@nemobear7 that's interesting... I've been so headache these last 2 days and feeling queasy. It turned into a migraine last night and continued with the muzzy head today.

Tbh @MrsEmilyB I ended up taking my normal pain killers (ibuprofen & codeine combo pill ) yesterday because it was so unbearable but it made me think... I am prone to cyclical migraines around ovulation and just before af but what if pregnancy makes them worse? Or more frequent? I mean I'm not assuming I am now I'm just thinking in general 🤔

How do people manage migraine and pregnancy when you can't take painkillers?! Horrific

@Fluffkins14 - I don't consciously hold it so I imagine it was only 2 hour urine! I pee lots. I'd test 2-4 hourly if its getting darker. I was so surprised to get a positive OPK on CD21, I'm usually CD17 ish for the OPK and CD 18 to ovulate

@Fluffkins14 Wooo! Finally a static! Maybe I will keep going to the end of the week... I just feel so fed up at the moment ☹️

Hmm, I never have this much discharge, sorry gross, I am going to need to put on a pad first time since I've been outside, two months ago 🤔

The May Group Graduates. RING HOOP BULLET. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/birth_clubs/3902964-the-may-group-graduates-ring-hoop-bullet

2 more graduates? Congratulations if so!!!!

Makes it 17!

Hopefully it’s a BFP for you then @Sausage1990. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. It would be brilliant to have even more May graduates! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😁

Did a test cause I'm a sucker for punishment. Thought I saw a slight shadow but it's in the wrong place methinks. These cheapies are a bugger

@Fluffkins14 I don’t have any cheap OPKs 😞

@Franklydear @MrsEmilyB I’m so glad it’s not just me then! I know what you mean, within days of having my implant out I felt like a teenager all over again and it really woke me up to actually what an impact hormonal contraceptives has!

In regards to your comment about your OH picking up on it, tbh my DH has a fairly high sex drive anyway but he can definitely tell and even uttered ‘oh no’ (in a joking way) last night because he knew what was coming 🤣

@Franklydear I keep wanting to test but you are motivating me to stay strong... I originally said I'd wait until the 22nd but this is slowly creeping forward, I have no will power anymore plus feel like I should get my first BFN out of the way and then it won't be such a hurdle each month 😩

@lorylondon I totally agree they are missing a test in this ttc lark, we definitely need a fertilisation test - one you take like 2dpo to see if the egg has been fertilised and if you're even in with a chance of pregnancy starting, or whether you can just do all your non-pregnancy stuff for the next week 😂

@RobinRose - do you have amazon? You can order some for next day delivery xx

@Sausage1990 - its horrific isn't it. And because of covid I can't even travel to see the homeopath or acupuncturist which is what is recommended during pregnancy for migraines. Hopefully I don't get many when PG! A lot of ladies seem to say their headaches go when they get PG.

I've caved and taken paracetamol. I only had some with caffeine so I've had over the RDA of caffeine but I figure that's better than a massive dose of aspirin. Currently got an ice pack working it's magic

@SmileyT we’ll keep each other strong, I don’t want another bfn...
About the science, how about home scans......?

I had a big jump in my bbt today.. not sure if this is a sign of anything? Being hopeful I suppose lol

@Franklydear If AF doesn't show this weekend I'll test Sunday that is 15dpo which I'm feeling is a point where I'll trust the test is right and just accept the answer but I'm expecting my period like clockwork on Saturday night/ Sunday morning 🤷🏾‍♀️

The only thing with finding out my egg had been fertilised is the blame id put on myself if it didn't implant, something kinda calming about not knowing where it's going wrong.

@MrsEmilyB OH came home from work with a Pyrex container for me to take my lunch in, so I can get rid of the plastic tubs, he does try to work with my neurosis 🤗 hope the headache is better after a painkiller xx

Forgot to attach chart!

@Hopefulmummie did you do lh tests alongside your bbt? From your chart it doesn't look like femometer as confirmed ovulation yet, but if bbt stays high it would look like you ovulated today, how long are your cycles normally?

@lorylondon ha well for starters you're not pregnant yet! I'd try and ignore any symptoms pre implantation tbh xx

@Sausage1990 sounds really promising, got my fingers crossed for you!!

@SmileyT ohh your DP is so sweet! The headache has really subsided thank you. I don't know if it was the paracetamol or more of my old wives tales, but I've been able to leave the bedroom and put some shopping away - Peppermint oil on the temples and DH's mum told me to put a jot water bottle on my feet and an ice pack on the back of my neck to draw the heat away from my head. Seems to have worked!

@SmileyT femometer and ovia app both confirmed my ovulation as cd14 I got a peak lh test on cd14 and 15

I am currently cd19 so 5dpo

@SmileyT af due Saturday too, I am going to try to hold testing till Thursday, cycles are irregular and I want to wait the longest I had, probably I’ll cave about Tuesday, but here’s hoping...
