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

Honestly I think there is @RobinRose - a few cycles ago my body didn't ovulate until CD37 which has NEVER happened before!! I had a 47 day cycle!! 😭 But, I did ovulate eventually!

@MrsEmilyB oh wow that must have been pretty stressful! Sorry for being a negative nelly this morning guys!

Congratulations to all the BFPs this morning!! 🥳

@RobinRose I’m sorry it’s been a stressful month for you and completely understand about feeling drained from it but will keep fx for you that it happens soon, and this cycle isn’t over yet so there’s still time 💕

You're allowed to vent here @RobinRose - this whole TTC thing is very stressful and we are here to be your safe space! ❤️

Wow! Sooo many May graduates! Congratulations to those who got a positive test this morning.

Supposed to be testing myself this morning but was convinced it would be negative so going to wait till AF is due. Not sure i can face yet another disappointment or the ongoing expense of yet another BFN!

@Newbie0818 sorry this cycle has been a bit rough for you but onwards & upwards- sounds like you have a great plan in place.

@MrsEmilyB I've been on the fertility yoga this morning too! I find it really relaxing. Is there a person in particular you use? As for cervical position I can feel high & soft around ovulation, then high & firm a few days after, then I can feel it much lower as the tww continues. Today felt higher again though but it can be hard to judge so isn't all that reliable. I like to feel it firm after ovulation though- I use that as a sign to stop dtd.

@RobinRose opk can help but can also be really stressful if you don't get a peak. If you're fed up I would stop testing for this cycle and just DTD every other day for a bit longer. You are likely to still catch ovulation that way.

@RobinRose my cycles are usually 30days always get my peak CD16 this cycle didnt get my peak till last night CD19 and was peak still this morning CD20 this is late for me too seems ovulation is 4days behind for a few of us here this month, what CD do you usually ovulate?

Anybody else starting to look at maternity clothes? I get so much online ads! But today I feel like I am kidding myself, af will arrive on cue on Saturday and that will be why I feel so weird.

@fluffkins anywhere between CD11-CD16! Only had CD16 once.

I’m going to stop testing and try to continue dtd every other day.

Thank you all for being so kind!🌻

@Franklydear me!!! Although I'm looking more at all the tiny baby stuff.

Where are you looking for maternity clothes? I find ASOS/Zara are more towards my usual style of clothes

@TheLastStark if you like Zara , try MANGO! I am a walking advertisement for Zara 😂

@RobinRose you maybe like me and MrsEmilyB this month 4days late ovulating would be kinda weird Haha x

@TheLastStark I wasn’t, I got an add of one of those funky T-shirt’s with the baby poking through a hole, I clicked on it and then got inundated... so I started looking at ASOS and mostly google images don’t dare to chose yet, imagine dh’s face if such a parcel turned up🙈

@RobinRose, I am Spanish, mango and Zara were teenage uniform...

@Franklydear With my daughter I was heavily pregnant during the spring and summer so all my maternity stuff is for the summer. I was really hoping to be able to wear my favourites of it again, but unless I get a BFP this month then I think I’ll be shopping again for winter maternity wear as I won’t be in maternity wear before September!

Annoying as I’ve had it sat in a vacuum bag in my wardrobe since the xmas tree went away in January! It’s taunting me daily. If I don’t get a BFP this month I might have to hide it!

I had a may baby, so apart from a coat and couple of jumpers, didn’t have much for winter, I am thinking leggings and tunics mostly with under layers, eyeing the parkas, with the baby panel for afterwards, very cute with a mini hood... just need to get a bfp first

@Fluffkins14 that would be very weird!

@Franklydear lucky you!! There isn’t a mango local to me unfortunately

I am in the uk, and not a size 8 anymore.... but my sisters will get me some clothes

@MrsEmilyB I ovulated on day 37 last month and had a 47 day cycle?! How weird is that.

Someone told me that if your body fails to ovulate properly the first time it will try again .. so maybe @RobinRose your little egg just hasn’t popped out yet!

Girls I am 11dpo and I have just been to the toilet and when I wiped I had a whole load of CM. Quick thick (sorry!) I’m pretty sure this can happen before AF. Does anyone get this before they come on? I really wish I had tracked different things in my cycles when I weren’t trying so I was more familiar with everything!

@RobinRose it’s good to vent! I probably bored everyone to tears with my cycle updates 😂 “ovulated, didn’t ovulate, pregnant, not pregnant, late ovulation, did I ovulate? Period? No period. Full on rage flow!” 🤣 at least we’ve got our birthdays coming up to look forward to!

@Skyla01 - I don't! I just did some from Pinterest whilst listening to my beloved Einaudi following my usual pilates flow sequence. Have you found anyone good on youtube?

@franklydear - I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to maternity fashion! I really like Asos stuff. I never find Zara suits me. I wear a lot of Joules etc too. But mostly, you'll find me in a floaty dress from Asda 😂😂

@littlepeas2 that's so weird! We are synching, ladies!

LOVE Zara kids clothes, and H&M. Way more obsessed with the tiny outfits. I expect I'll look like a sack of potatoes during pregnancy 😂😂

I am nauseous again today 🤢😭 I thought it'd go after the last 2 days of headaches has cleared! it's too early for symptoms and it's just making me convinced that I'm not pregnant this month as it must be more difficult to concieve if you're not feeling well!

@MrsEmilyB aw sorry you’ve been feeling crappy. I’m feeling nothing at all 6dpo. I’ve been super busy with work and pretty stressed so if it doesn’t happen I’m blaming it on that.

Am I right in thinking it’s your oh’s birthday end of the month too? It’s my ones on the 26th. I’d love to give him a positive stick as a present

Not sure if someone has already said but I believe Stradivarius on ASOS is also Zara. I ordered some bits the other day and the tags are suspiciously similar. LOVE Zara and their baby bits 😍

@orangej Stradivarius is part of Zara, is funny how there image changes in different countries, in Spain Stradivarius is for young teenagers, mango for late teens early twenties, think uni and Zara makes you of a certain age...
