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!

I really hope I can join your graduates group you have all been so helpful and lovely I'm only 6/7 DPO at the moment 🤞🏼

[Pol96]

Congratulations @BabyG123!! X

[BabyG123]

Hoping to have lots of happy graduates 😘

[SmileyT]

@ZRS86 @Newbie0818 @CoronaBaby @BabyDust13 @Juno231 looks like we are all between 5 and 7dpo so will all be testing around the same time 🙌🏾 No symptoms at all for me apart from feeling moister than an oyster as my OH says 🙈 but this is a lucky thread with 7 BFPs in 8 days so who knows x

@Newbie0818 if you are only 7dpo could it be an implantation bleed I've read that is normally pink/ brown spotting around this point 🤞

To all those that have just had their peaks are expecting them this weekend suck it up and get banging then you can have 9 months off 😉

[Newbie0818]

@SmileyT I think that would be the best case scenario but my gut is telling me that isn’t the case :/ I’ll stay hopefully though until she’s in full force. Been having dull cramps for a couple of days.
Hope you get your bfp :) x

[OrangeJ]

Yay! Congrats @BabyG123 🥳

Just quickly back to the smoothie talk from before...Anyone have recommendations for a good blender? I think mine’s on its way out.

[Skyla01]

@SS123456 so sorry about AF. And @Newbie0818 hope your spotting goes away.

@MrsEmilyB that's frustrating but you never know maybe you ovulated earlier and are already in the TWW? If you're knackered then DTD every other day will keep you covered until you are defo past ovulation. We took it a bit easier on the dtd this cycle- if we do too much at the beginning I can be a bit fed up by the time it really counts!

So I'm in to 2nd week of tww... make or break time! I had a dream last night that AF arrived- seems like a bit of a bad omen! I know people dream about getting bfp, but has anyone else dreamt about AF arriving?!

@OrangeJ I got myself a nutri ninja! www.argos.co.uk/product/1956926?clickSR=slp:term:nutri%20ninja:2:26:1 Really simple to use and easy to clean

[OrangeJ]

@RobinRose ooo that one looks good and not too big and affordable ☺️ Thank you!

[Franklydear]

Why are the days passing so slow, I am only cd 18, probably only 5-6 dpo, and there's very little chance this cycle, move on already!
(Rant over)

[CoronaBaby]

@SmileyT I’m so glad I have a few girls to test with! How are you all feeling? I have tingley boobs (but I’m still breastfeeding DD so that could explain that) and a bit of nausea, although I have IBS and ate ice cream last night which is not my friend 😅
I also woke up ravenous this AM but had an early tea last night so that can explain that! Getting more tense as the days go on 🤭

[BabyDust13]

@SmileyT I don't have any symptoms yet but I checked last month and didn't get any until 10dpo unfortunately that didn't stick but at least it's given me something to look for.

This seems to be a super lucky bus so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[WildButterfly]

Hey everyone, I’ve posted on the first May bus thread, but have been lurking since. Congratulations to all BFP out there!!
As an update, I’m 36, have been pregnant twice previously, with one MC at 8 weeks. Currently on CD25, second cycle after three years with the implant. We usually BD every other day, and according to Flo I’m 7dpo.
Have a few symptoms which I know could as well be AF/progesterone related like; increased hunger, light cramping and very tingly nips for the past two days, like the feeling you get when they harden if you’re super cold, if that makes sense!

Will wait it out, but might hold back trying until after summer if this is not our month.

[GingerBaby89]

Hey gals!!! Completely forgot we had the new one up and running so had to catch up with an extra thread of 87 messages 😂

I'm on 7DPO. Had the most horrendous headache yesterday evening and some mild cramping when I was walking the pooch early this morning but otherwise I'm feeling zilch, niente, nada, NOTHING. Bored of this now!!!

Anyone else got ideas to help the TWW go quicker? I'm not drinking this cycle either so I can't even slope off to get sozzled in the garden 🥴

[Hoping1]

Congratulations @BabyG123 🤞🤞🤞fingers crossed for more BFP xxx

[MrsEmilyB]

@babyG123 - I can't wait until the day I can join the graduates group ❤️ hopefully soon!

@OrangeJ - I use a cheap breville one. Its lasted me years and years, and does a fab job blitzing nuts and seeds! www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/vbl062/breville-vbl062-blenders?refsource=apadwords&mkwid=sryB7VerC_dm&pcrid=77990755255&product=VBL062&pgrid=12993705415&ptaid=pla-317296897378&channel=search&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz9icnaCk6QIVSbTtCh0BjwFuEAkYASABEgLOKPD_BwE

@skyla01 - I do hope so! My BBT jumped up this morning, which would be consistent with being 1-2dpo. If it continues to rise then NC should confirm ovulation. We'll keep doing it every other day regardless. I felt super nauseous after breakfast this morning but putting it down to sleeping badly last night.

[MrsEmilyB]

@WildButterfly - welcome!

@GingerBaby89 - did you see the link I posted about surviving and thriving in the 2ww on the last Bus? If not, I'll find and repost it. Full of helpful tips!

[OrangeJ]

@MrsEmilyB. Oooh I’ve seen that one before but always thought it wouldn’t be any good because it was cheap! But that’s amazing if it blitzes seeds and nuts!! Thank you!

I’m confused as to if I’ve ovulated. Last month I had peak/high opks for daayyys. I only had a peak yesterday now this morning it’s really come down and I’ve run out of opks 😫 My bbt for the last 3 days has been practically the same, no dipped or rise. It means I really shouldn’t have any drink tonight so that the reading tomorrow morning is accurate. Crappy timing for wanting a good bbt reading! 😂 But maybe I can just have a few in the afternoon and it will be ok? 🤷‍♀️

[OrangeJ]

@MrsEmilyB is that the Inge Fleur video? I watched that last month and omg it totally changed my way of thinking. It actually nearly made me cry!

[MrsEmilyB]

@OrangeJ - yeah I pop my seeds (usually 2tbsp total) and 2 Brazil nuts and 2 tsp maca powder with 100ml of whatever liquid I'm using and blitz that first, alternating between continuous and pulses, then top up with the rest of the liquid, fruit etc.

I haven't caught my peak either this cycle. So who knows. Have a drink, just don't have much! I had a glass of wine last night and will likely have one today too!

[MrsEmilyB]

@OrangeJ - yes! Her blog is fab too

[Positivetime]

Really random but other than metallic taste has anyone ever experienced constant tongue twitching/spasms? It is the weirdest thing and I’ve been getting this since yesterday! Really bizarre.
I’ve officially gone into weird crazy symptom spotting mode!!
I really want to be pregnant and can’t stop thinking about anything else. I need next Friday to hurry up!

[Newbie0818]

@Skyla01 thank you, I’ve had nothing since but mild cramps on and off.

@GingerBaby89 I’ve found drawing and lots of artsy stuff has really helped take my mind off things.

Hope everyone’s having a good day.

[SmileyT]

@CoronaBaby I'm bloody starving all the time, have been in bed all day and have quite a lot of CM but I'm the same as you and don't know if that's just normal for this part of my cycle. It's my first month fully tracking so I'm not sure what is normal 🤔

@BabyDust13 it's good having things to look out for, I don't have a bloody clue what is standard and what is pg related.

@GingerBaby89 I'm 6dpo, it's so sunny and I feel you on wanting to just get sozzled 🥴

[CoronaBaby]

@SmileyT I second that not sure what is/is not normal as I haven’t paid full attention before. Regret not doing that now!
@GingerBaby89 would also love to sit outside with a glass of prosecco in the sunshine 😍🙌🏼
