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 I agree with MrsEmilyB femometer ones are great but I also have the Ebay cheap ones 50 for less than £5 they pick up my peak just as well and saves wasting a clearblue in the evening,

How is the smiley situation for you this morning?

RobinRose · 14/05/2020 09:07

@fluffkins thank you!

Static again.... I’ve given up and put the box in the cupboard 🤦‍♀️ I can feel myself getting stressed about it so I’m just gonna leave it now, will probably continue to dtd but I’m not going to get stressed about it! Just having an odd month I guess 😞

ZRS86 · 14/05/2020 09:12

Thanks for all of the congratulations everyone!

@BabyG123 I’ll check out the graduate thread - thanks

@MrsEmilyB @SmileyT @Littlepeas2 We have been quite chilled with TTC so didn’t really do too much. I don’t use OPKs so just DTD regularly and even more when I had EWCM. I’ve been taking seven seas pre conception supplements but that’s about it. I’ve definitely had some symptoms since about 3/4 dpo but that was probably progesterone. At 8dpo I had incredibly sore boobs. It was quite a different pain for me and from then on I’ve added a few other symptoms of gas, constipation, bloating, tiredness and a bit emotional (which is unlike me).

Hoping for more BFPs from this bus...we’re only halfway through May!

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 09:16

@ZRS86 - what symptoms did you get 3/4dpo? Dying to know your symptom timeline!! 😂

@RobinRose - how long have you had statics for?

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 09:17

@ZRS86 and what cycle is this for you?

🎉HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE BFP THIS MORNING🎉

@mrsEmilyB
I am around the same timings as you this month it seems. I have also tracked my cervical position.
I am 3DPO and mine is currently high, soft ish and slightly open. I have also had LOTS of white CM, so much so that when I woke this morning I honestly thought I was weeing there was so much! I've never had this much CM before, it's a milky white.
I'm hoping these are all good things 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Newbie0818 · 14/05/2020 09:22

Thanks for the replies re cervix, it seems to go low just before af, then during right up high again. My body is literally like one of earth’s mysteries 🤣

Congrats to all the BFPs ✨✨✨

Sorry to all those with Bfns. I started a thread yesterday for those starting a fresh cycle, feel free to join :) www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3908183-CD1-here-we-go-again-Buddies-welcome
Obviously staying on this thread too as I love following all your stories, May bus is where it’s at 🤘🏼

I’m feeling good about this one 🤞🏼 Temping, cp and cm monitoring, opk’s, SMEP, getting bloods done, on Pregnacare his and hers. Pre-seed. Healthy eating. The lot 😂

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 09:22

@firsttimetry mine is soft-ish too! Not as soft or high as ovulation, but definitely not low or hard yet. Do you usually track cervical position?

OP posts:
firsttimetry · 14/05/2020 09:24

@mrsEmilyB
I did last month but not religiously.
This month I have done it every day, sometimes I've struggled to decide if it's any different. Position wise mainly. I can easily tell the soft/hard/open/closed but the position sometimes throws me off! How about you?

@unluckyducky
What do the cramps feel like? Pulling? Sharp? X

@MrsEmilyB 9 days ☹️ I’m hoping the OPKs have just missed the surge 🤷🏼‍♀️I had what felt like the start of period cramps yesterday 🤔

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 09:50

9 days of static??? @RobinRose or flashing? Maybe you're just super fertile! 🤞

@unluckyducky

Thank you! I really hope it sticks for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fluffkins14 · 14/05/2020 09:50

@RobinRose ohhh I know I was getting so stressed went to the loo sorry tmi alert (I wiped and it looked like DP had cum on the tissue 🤣) low and behold peak test, maybe leave it this month but if you notice anything similar you could do a quick test? What CD are you again sorry x

TheLastStark · 14/05/2020 09:50

Symptom spotting continues, still saliva machine but also feeling a lot more like myself.

Also have a weird pulling sensation in my foof area, like it's an elastic band and bending over makes the pull even stronger.

ZRS86 · 14/05/2020 09:53

@MrsEmilyB This is only cycle 2 for us trying to conceive #1. I only stopped the pill in March so it’s happened quicker than we expected! The symptoms I had at 3/4dpo were nausea, tender breasts, bloating, tiredness and gas! I also had an increased appetite and I’m the same as @unluckyducky with very vivid dreams too. I’ve also had a high, soft and closed cervix since ovulation.

@firsttimetry I’ve had cramps too since about 8dpo and they have been like dull aches low down on the left hand side. Occasionally they’ve been a bit sharper but not painful.

RobinRose · 14/05/2020 09:56

@@MrsEmilyB sorry 9days of flashing! I’m half asleep today! Haha that would be nice wouldn’t it!

@Fluffkins14 😂😂 sounds like a good sign! Yes going to leave it this month! I’m on CD16. At least I can’t count down to af this month as I have no idea when to expect it!

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 09:59

@RobinRose - I didn't ovulate til CD22 this month so there is definitely still time for it to happen!!

OP posts:
Fluffkins14 · 14/05/2020 10:03

@RobinRose please don't lose hope, I had AF like cramps a couple of days ago and wierd feeling in the ovary area, I didn't get my static till CD19, it seems to be a month for late ovulation I just need to keep the energy for DTD 🤣

RobinRose · 14/05/2020 10:04

@MrsEmilyB how long are your cycles? That would be super late for me !

MrsEmilyB · 14/05/2020 10:04

Usually 31 days @RobinRose - I usually ovulate day 18!

OP posts:
RobinRose · 14/05/2020 10:11

@Fluffkins14 & @MrsEmilyB maybe there’s is something in the air this month, making us all ovulate late! I am trying not to loose hope, I just feel very drained with month.

RobinRose · 14/05/2020 10:12

*with this month! 🤦‍♀️ I think I need to go back to bed 😴!
