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

@SmileyT ah I'm just going crazy at this point. Had a dream this morning that I had implantation pain - but it was so vivid that I'm thinking I actually was in pain this morning and created a dream to fit the narrative?! Absolutely nuts.

@mrsemilyb no I just had strong highs but no peak then - I figured I'd missed it or my wee was diluted.

And girls I'm desperate for some morning bullet time but I've been on the same busses as Adrianoska since Feb and she's put the fear of god in me about the contractions potentially disrupting implantation! The risk might be low but why take the chance 😱

@SmileyT morning 9DPO today I'm pretty sure time has stopped.

I could probably pick out some symptoms but most of them could be either pregnancy or time of the month related

Trying to hold off until tomorrow or Tuesday to test

Good luck to anyone else testing soon

Hey

Was hoping to get some other eyes on this. I'm 10 dpo...

@BabyDust13 seeing loads of lovely BFPs around the 11dpo so if you can make it to Tuesday morning hopefully you'll get a nice clear line x

@popcorndiva ahh hope the sunburn isn't too bad and clears up quickly for you x

@Juno231 well pains and vivid dreams sound like a good sign. I guess until we get our BFPs or AF all we have is a bit of hope x

@MrsEmilyB Thank you for the code!

@SmileyT Thanks for the CB website info. Much clearer than the leaflet! I did test last night (before I saw your post) and got my flashing smiley. Flashing smiley again this morning, but now I’m worried I’ve done something to the settings by testing at the wrong time - and am not sure whether to trust it. (However, I will as it’s all I have to go on!) Waiting for the static smiley, which I know will mean the LH surge. Have ordered the Femometer paper strips for future, I’m finding the high technology of CB a little bit too stressful 😂

Is there anything that measures just estrogen? Would be interesting PO too, to see if it stays elevated.

That looks like a BFP to me! Congratulations! Xx

@SmileyT I’m ok thanks and agree with you that all of the BFPs give me a bit of hope. Thankfully I’m going into work all week so that will hopefully help keep me distracted and make me hold off on testing until the weekend. Trying not to symptom spot as anything I’ve got could easily be progesterone related!

@Violetlilac I think that looks positive too...congratulations!!

@CoronaBaby Yessss! Amazing. I'm so happy for you!! That's just brilliant.

I was inspired to POAS myself, but sadly no such luck for me at 10DPO. I'll try again in a few days but I'm not feeling very confident any more. Oh well.

@Violetlilac That looks positive to me too! Congrats! 😘

@CoronaBaby congrats! Another bfp! Really happy for you xx

@RobinRose that's what I have done this month- trying not to count CD! I have worked out af due between today and Wednesday. I feel much better not having a single date to fixate on.

@SmileyT that was me a few days ago! But now I'm waiting for AF any day now so hoping time speeds up (although it probably won't...).

3rd day of flashing smiley 🙄 usually ovulate around CD 16 which is today. IC OPKs are starting to show a rise but used fmu so not sure if it will continue through the day, kind of glad it hasn't happened yet as DP wasn't in the mood last night, hoping we still have a chance feeling a bit deflated this month

Thanks so much everyone!! I can hardly believe it myself
@vintagemoo sorry about the test but with DD I didn’t get a BFP until 2 days before my period so try again as possibly it was too easily for you.
@SmileyT @BabyDust13 @Juno231 @popcorndiva @Franklydear @ZRS86 I will be closely watching you girls this week!

@Violetlilac congrats 🥳🥳

Ladies, is it possible to only get af for a few hours? Has this happened to anyone?

Hi all, I’m 10 dpo, AF is due on 15th. Is this for real??

I’m not sure what to think or do next...would love your opinions lovely ladies please.

No idea what made me test this morning. I was going to wait until after period was missed!

@Newbie0818 you sure it's not implantation?

@unluckyducky welcome! I'm 7DPO too :) also don't be silly about implantation! Just cause it was early in previous pregnancies doesn't mean it will be now and it doesn't always come with a bleed - only about a third of them do. So stay positive and 🤞is your month!

@unluckyducky I also felt a bit hopeless as I had an implantation bleed with DD I remember looking at the paper and thinking omg that’s implantation bleeding but nothing this time round. Are your two DC the same sex? Possibly this one is different?

@Positivetime looks good to me 🥳🥳

This is the luckiest bus

@Positivetime omg yes!!! Congratulations girl!

Hi all. So I'm 27, have 2 other children, a 9 year old boy and nearly 4 year old girl. I've been trying since December, had a chemical in march.

I'm current on cd 20 out of 30-33 days. I think I'm around 3 dpo. I dont really track anything other than using the ovia app. I do however, get strong cramps in my ovaries around mid way through my fertile window and had them quite bad this month with lots of EW cm. So I'm hoping I have ovulated.

I have quite bad lower back ache today and a pain in my left ovary. Unsure what it could be.

I'm really going to try not to symptom spot this month and not test too early 🙈 my app tells me I can test in around 10 days x
