May Bus Continued...

[SmileyT]

I didn't want to miss everyone's BFPs this week and our last bus is nearly full up so thought I'd jump over here.

CD25 - 11dpo - testing at the weekend 😬

Definitely fell asleep after I posted at 6am this morning 😴

@Noble89 @MrsDh2019 I randomly had spotting last month at 13dpo, I can't remember ever having this before but tbh if I had I may have just forgotten about it and used a pad the day before AF but definitely could be implantation.

@Dreaming101 I tested this morning because I was doing an LH test and thought why not it was a BFN and I'm just focussing on next month now, I've read that any implantation after 11dpo is not likely to end well as the embryo is slow and probably has some abnormalities so I'm not keen to implant this late as I'm pretty certain of ovulation date. Also even if something was trying to implant it won't be after my fall down the stairs 🙈Definitely early for you to be testing though so Sunday sounds like a good plan.

@Kodasmom sorry that it's so uncertain at the moment it really isn't shit situation, really hope your period stays away.

I'm just holding onto the fact that if AF comes on Sunday as expected I will have returned to a normal cycle following MC in March, ovulation on CD14 and 28 day cycle and moving on to the next month. Hope everyone has some fun things planned for the weekend, my sister is coming over (I know it's very naughty but I'm travelling to work everyday so feel like I deserve to see one member of my family) xx

Hey @SmileyT pretty sure I'm gonna be joining you on the June bus. Spotting has gotten a bit heavier, not like AF yet but enough to mark my underwear so I feel like AF is imminent. I'm on CD27 so like you I'm thinking maybe this month was about getting my cycle back to normal at last. I was always 28 days but have been all over since my MC and have been 33 days the last 2 cycles. Fingers crossed this was just our bodies taking a month to get back to normal and June is our month!

@Kodasmom I just wanted to chime in and say I completely feel you on this one. My tests have been coming up with strange shadow lines for a couple days now and I don’t know what the hell it all means. It’s starting to honestly drive me crazy my emotions just don’t know what to do?! I held off doing another test today (11dpo) because my DH has hidden them all from me 😂 but it’s has made me feel a lot more chilled out and regain my sanity a little bit! I so easily get caught up in this TTC web 😖 but having strange vague tests doesn’t help at all does it?! Hope it all becomes a little clearer for you over the next few days ❤️ I will be testing again on Monday when AF due but so far not had anything to signal AF and usually she makes her presence well known a few days in advance 😣🤷🏻‍♀️ Here’s some pics of my tests... don’t know whether I’m coming or going from them throwing up weird shadowy lines. They are from different batches aswell so not sure on them all just being off, could all be Evaps though 🤷🏻‍♀️but all I know is my eyes hurt from looking at them 😂😳! X

Hi everyone! I am new to the May bus after a misleading evap line on a pregnancy test last month. I had some time away from Mumsnet but am ready to return! I wish everyone luck this month wherever they are in their cycle!!

Brief background. I have a 2 year old son and we want to give him a sibling. We had a MMC in Feb and this is my second cycle TTC - no luck last month. This is the first time I have used an OPK - previously I have used the CM method only. Do you ladies find that you ovulate on a different day month to month? I only ask as I conceived my son around day 13 but the MMC was conceived around day 20!!

I’m currently on CD 13 with no smiley face yet but I’m really looking forward to pinpointing my ovulation this month. If we do manage to fall pregnant and I ovulate in the next few days we will be one of the last on this thread to find out in May!!

I am lying in bed unable to sleep because I can't stop thinking about wanting to be pregnant.

I'm 10dpo on Saturday morning so will no doubt lose all self control and test again in the morning. I'm sure it will be negative as I just have that gut feeling this isn't by month but the teeny glimmer of hope and all the waiting is a killer!

It's such a relief to cone on here and be able to chat to others in the save boat.

I've got my fingers crossed for all of you testing over the weekend xx

@Noble89 how are you feeling today has the spotting continued? I hope your body stops playing games with you and either gives you your BFP today or AF starts tomorrow.

Welcome @RiverRoo I have only started tracking ovulation since I started ttc which was after a MC in March, but the two months I've tracked I've ovulated CD18 (1st cycle after MC) and CD14. Remember that in theory sperm can survive for up to 5 days so if you are basing conception on the day you had sex it could be up to 5 days out. If you've been tracking your cycles it will give you a rough idea on how regular your ovulation date is, the amount of days between ovulation and period should be pretty set so it's the days before ovulation that vary if cycle length varies.

@leaferty I think everyone feels in a similar way sometimes, it can be so consuming you are definitely not alone in those thoughts. I really hope that you are pleasantly surprised when you test in the morning x

BFN this morning. Booo. Fingers crossed for June then.

Same @leaferty. I'll come on tomorrow, bit gutted as we'd done it 3 days in a row in run up to ov when usually it'd be every other day so was hoping that would make all the difference but nah lol! We'd use preseed as well. Fingers crossed for us for June definitely! Will you join the June bus now?

Morning! I must confess, I haven’t been checking the thread as much as it was making me want to test! I only have one in the cupboard and I’m not buying another one this month - if I put it on here I won’t do it

12DPO, AF due in 2 days apparently so I’m trying to keep busy over the weekend! Think I might do the weeding, that should occupy me for a while

DH has just been informed we’re going overseas with work in the next 8 weeks or so, is it bad I’d quite like to be pregnant before we go so that I don’t feel like I’ve got to start from scratch again?

@SmileyT I'm just fed up mate. No idea what's going on with my body. Still spotting but hasn't developed any further as I thought it would but got another BFN so honestly can't figure out what's going on with me. I'm just gonna keep testing each day until AF arrives. I don't think it's implantation bleeding but we shall see.

@Noble89 yeah that is really shit when we just don't know what's going on, really hoping it's a late implantation and it comes to something but totally get why you're feeling so fed up. Even though it was crap when I got the BFN because I knew it was the final answer it actually made me relax a bit.

@leaferty @notyetamumbuttrying sorry it was BFNs again today 😕

@Richmonder definitely not bad for wanting to be pregnant I think all of us want to be pregnant as soon as possible so don't feel strange for feeling that way. Well done on holding off testing, hope it's good news after the weekend.

Just lying in bed while DP is in the shower and my period decided to come on in full force, really strange that my Fitbit app seems to be the most accurate app for predicting period even though it's definitely not a fertility app 🙈

Morning everyone, sorry to those who have seen BFN’s this morning. It’s a horrible feeling no matter how much you prepare for it.

@MrsDh2019 thank you for the advice I really appreciate it. I’m still no clearer lol.

I got another faint line this morning, so faint that I didn’t see it my DH did. I think I’m still not convinced so I didn’t even squint to look for it. I’ve had no cramps today but still brown spotting when I wipe.

At this stage now I’m not testing anymore until AF tells me on Monday/Tuesday.

Thank you everyone for the past few days. It really helps having others to talk to that are in this situation. If AF comes I will definitely be jumping onto the June bus because you all help get through this journey much easier. ❤️

@SmileyT thank you. I've hopped on the June bus now as I'm defo out now! You're due on, on Monday right?
Safe bet I reckon @Kodasmom best of luck for Tuesday!

I've been checking back on this thread cause I knew it was testing weekend for a lot of u. So sorry for everyone that's got that dreaded BFN, still keeping my fingers crossed for those waiting on AF though, as the saying goes 'you're not out until AF appears' 💜

@Kodasmom I feel so sorry for u with your tests giving u mixed results, that's the problem of testing early I think. I still dont think theres any denying your first CB so I'm holding out all hope for u on Monday/Tuesday for AF not to appear 💜

@notyetamumbuttrying I was expecting AF tonight/ tomorrow but it started this morning so I'm definitely out. What June bus did you join? I was going to start a new one but I'll just follow you 😂

@SmileyT ah of course, I did read that sorry. I've joined this one June Bus - who's on board? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3899138-june-bus-who-s-on-board. See you there!

Sorry to butt in ladies. Does anyone see anything on my frer? Defo a pink line in real life. Very crampy
And achy 😖

@Mich2020 I always find pictures on MN aren't great for seeing lines that are faint irl but if you see a pink line Congratulations 🎉 how many dpo are you? Is your OH excited? 😊

12dpo I think. Period due somewhere between Tuesday and Friday next week. Always varies. Hoping that fmu will give me a better result. Fingers crossed. He doesn't believe it until the words 'pregnant' are read on a digital 🙈 men!!!x

@Mich2020 have you got a digital test maybe wait until Monday then get peeing on that stick 🙌🏾 Congrats again xx

@SmileyT AF has arrived. 3 days early but like you say in an odd way it's a relief. I'm gonna try and chill out a bit next month, I feel like my expectations were too high and I obsessed too much this month.

I'm genuinely feeling ok, a bit bummed but it's only cycle one.

Onto the June bus!

@Noble89 see you on the June bus! Great attitude going into your next cycle. I'm trying to get my head right for it too.

@SmileyT just done another cheapie and not even a hint of a second line.. maybe it's because I haven't long peed and I'm getting myself worked up too much. Going to wait until morning now. I can order some digital if my frer line gets a bit darker tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

@Mich2020 yeah I definitely wouldn't test more than once a day or even every day, give it a couple days and test again with the same test so that you can see a line progression otherwise you'll drive yourself mad. Get some rest and look after yourself x

@Noble89 I think we are actually twins... back to CD1 but just remember you waited so long to be able to have this and you can definitely wait another 28 days, it's nothing in the grand scheme of things and it will all be worth it ❤️

Sorry ladies that have had negatives or AFs arrival this weekend 🙁 Anyone else get just as gutted as hearing others werent successful this month as they are when its themselves!? I was so hoping to see lots of BFPs this weekend! It's so frustrating when you see so many women trying so hard to have a desperately wanted baby and at the same time so many who dont want one accidentally fall pregnant, it's so unfair! Ok rant over, can you tell I'm a feeling a tad emotional and PMT like today, everything has annoyed me 😂 Still 11days to go till AF so god help my hubby if I'm like this the next week and a half!
