50 shades of TTC (June bus part 2)

[SmileyT]

Let's all intro ourselves again...so people can use the top of the thread as a quick reference to where we are at and maybe find some cycle buddies - everyone welcome to join the madhouse of the June 2020 bus x

@Cocoblue22 Oh that’s good to know, DP will be overjoyed to hear DTD every day is back on the cards We have actually been doing that anyway.

Do people DTD in the 2WW too?

For all those saying to watch Normal People- yes! Very sexually charged, quite a turn on...!

Ah @lucyrp and @SmileyT thank you so much! That makes sense about the BBT! Will do ☺

@lucyrp ooh that's interesting 🧐 in a couple of days I'd take out the ovulation date and you selected yes on just out of curiosity to see where it would settle on for you ovulation as it can still move it based on temps x

@blodyn91 good thing with the cups is you can still wee straight away but nothing else cums out 😝

@GeorginaSmith95 I'm expecting ovulation next Friday... how are you feeling?

So many of you hitting that TWW how exciting, hopefully come the 7th June we'll have loads of BFPs and we'll probably be on the 10th thread by then 😂

@LittleRa no chance I could I get away with/ cope with closing up shop in the TWW 🤣

@Amy00 haha my DH loves them too! Been buying them from morrisons! I much prefer a digestive or custard creme! I ate so many biscuits when pregnant with DC1 I especially loved rich tea and also mr Kipling cakes! X

@NemoBear7 hello 👋🏻 32 is young!! (I’m also 32 years young next month!) I got lots of negatives before BFP try using first response if you aren’t already they are better than other brands! Was there many BFPs on May bus? X

Wow I had a day away and I’ve missed loads. Lots to catch up on

Ok me. I’m 33 trying to conceive no1 and onto 2nd cycle. Currently day 19 and I believe 4dpo. Think I’m out already due to only have sex 3/4days before ovulation. Keep getting random pains in my right side but don’t know what that is. I’m getting the 21day test on Tuesday due to my irregular cycle and don’t think I ovulate very often. So will wait to hear back from that.

AF is due on 3rd June for me... hoping to hold out testing until 1st June!!

Love how the two main topics of conversation are... sex and BISCUITS! 🤣🤣

So much to catch up on in just a few hours! We’ve been due a very windy bike ride & done some gardening work

@KateColx I’ve not had a regular cycle yet as had a MMC in mid March & since then had 3 bleeds in 10 weeks so this is my first cycle (that was IVF done on first bleed after coming off depo it was 8 months for that bleed)😥so I’ve nothing to base it on.

@Bear127 did you use CBs last time too? If so how many flashing before as the box says if you see 9 in a row it’s unlikely you will see your peak 😭& now I’m drinking even more water to flush my system then my ICs may not pick it up

@GeorginaSmith95 hi! I’m currently just a constant whinge that I’m CD21 & have seen 8 flashing smiles on clear blue tests & no static so it’s just laughing at me!!

And now everyone is talking bourbons I want a bourbon!!
Proper feeling in a “woe is me mood!” Ha ha
(Adds bourbons to shopping list)

@GeorginaSmith95 i think i'm ovulating today or tomorrow as just got my peak reading!

@LittleRa i think we probably will DTD in TWW too because we normally do so would be weird not doing it 😂

@Maybe333 no worries!

@SmileyT i've taken the yes out to ovulation and that's when it changed to 4 days ago ?! but i have only got this cycle for reference and my AF that was late. so should i put it back in as yes today or not ??
@blodyn91**@SmileyT omg i didn't even think about the fact you could pee and keep everything in with those cups so i'm going to have a look at investing today! defo he on the 10th thread he then 😂

@LittleRa well they are the two most important topics! 😂

@Minster2012 yep CB last time and had flashing for 2 days before getting a static. I got static on CD20, flashing CD19+18 and circle CD17 and that was the first time using CB and tracking ovulation. If my cycle has gone back to 38 days there’s still a tiny bit of scope there for a late peak however I have no idea anymore 😂

@Cocoblue22 Thank you for the lovely welcome. Yes, at least 10 BFPs on the May bus, maybe more. I lost count after a while! Most successful bus I’ve been on.

I’ve tried both the first response and the clear blue digital tests with two weeks between as my period is now 4 days late but still no positive. I think it must just be a late period due to being on the pill for so long.

How long have you been TTC for? 😁

Hi Ladies.

Sorry not had a moment to catch up yet do excuse me, but I have a question... Do any of you feel really PMS-y right after ovulation?

I genuinely feel super tense and grumpy today. I'm not sure if it's because I'm suddenly paying attention to my body that I've noticed, or it's the lockdown, or it's ovulation, or a combination of everything but I'm super emotional and anxious - like I usually am a few days before AF arrives 😭

@lucyrp I'd just assume ovulation is tomorrow so in your head take Tuesday as 1dpo but I'd personally not tick to say i'd ovulated on the app and see if it adjusts itself, but that's just because I'd be curious to see whether the app would work the ovulation day out correctly over the next week based on your temps over the next few days x

@Runnergirl1 you're not out until your period arrives just remember your ovulation date could be a day out and sperm can stay in there for up to 5 days 🤞

@OnNaturesCourse only started tracking ovulation in April but I noticed this, wasn't sure if it was because of lockdown/ fact fertile window was over and just felt a bit shitty and anxious though 🤔

@SmileyT okays i shall leave it and see what happens and if it gets it wrong then i'll change it myself to when i think it was.

also super early to ask this question but which tests would you use when taking your first pregnancy test like before AF is due ?? i 100% would not recommend boots own

Hey guysss! So ... every month I always get an LH surge on my OPKs along with quite a lot of watery CM...

It's always been pretty much bang on when flo app says which is around CD16-18 and should be in 2 days this time ... however, I actually had more watery Cm about 4 days ago and now nothing... I didn't see a surge though on my OPKs so do you think I could have just missed it even tho it was a lot earlier?

also also, I tried preeseed for the first time today! Omg haha - There was so much In 2ml - defo not very sexy for OH watching that spectacle before DTD haha - any tips from people who have used before? Xx

Ahh these things are sent to try us aren’t they @Bear127 🤷‍♀️But 🤞🏻For us both

@TTCgee I tend to put preseed in in the bathroom prior to sex so that insect bit is out of the way! It says it can be put in 15 mins before. I also had a bit of stretchy CM randomly on CD12but not much & its best not to go by what I say as I’m stuck here on CD21 after 8 dats of flashing clear blue smiles & only v faint lines on internet cheapie strips so I’m not the right person to look at 😂

@Minster2012 ahhh cracking idea! Didn't realise I could put it in early! Honestly he was laughing his head off like what are you doing 😂😂

It's so confusing! I really hope I see a proper temp rise on my BBT soon as mine doesn't look anything like other people's charts! Xxx

round #2 complete 💪🏼 i must say i definitely notice the difference in CM when i know i'm ovulating. TMI but today i feel so wet in comparison to previous days although normally i'm sure i have a week of being like this so not sure why i didn't notice it the past few days

Day 35 and still no AF a tiny amount of spotting. How long did it take others for AF to arrive after stopping the pill?

I can't keep up with this thread, scared to leave my phone for 5 minutes 😂

Welcome to everyone who's joined us recently ❤

Got a question for yous, so obviously I had my static smiley on Friday on CB & a peak IC so ovulation was put down to yesterday. So I'm testing with my IC until they go back to low. Yesterday I tested twice, both being quite dark but not positive so I thought that's fine I'd expect them to be lighter today but I just done one & got another peak 🙄 I'm so confused? Is this normal or am I broken 😭 I thought u just got peak for 1 day then they went to low. My peak is actually marked higher in my apps compared to my IC on Friday after my static. If I'm being silly tell me off 😂 but does this mean I've not ovulated yet?

@Skip86 I love how its routine that your first message is always the first message I read on here every day then I have to catch up on 173653627 more 😅 I hope your feeling better now! Hot water bottles are life savers 🥰 5DPO wow that's went so fast, when are u testing I think youl be the first to test how exciting.

@lucyrp Yay to the static smiley 🙌🏼 would see get BDing but u dont need be told twice 😂

@Minster2012 Your flashing smiley is even irritating me 😫 sorry to hear u might have a UTI, I cant not pee after sex I just wait like 30 mins then go 😂 maybe after a few unsuccessful cycles il not be doing that though, we all do anything for TTC 🙈

@KateColx I felt the same cause everything didnt go as I had planned in my head I was like 'nope it's not happening' 😂 my AF is due 7th June too 🙌🏼 I was thinking about 12DPO but Il probably test earlier too. Not long ago I was saying I'm not testing early but that was a lie 🙈

@Vil10 I'm just not getting it cause I've had a peak today 2 days after my static 😫 it is so confusing, nothings ever simple! We want that peak then want it to be low so it's done then does this 😂

This is my IC from today 🤔

@KRK05 i'm the same too scared to leave my phone for too long and if i see like 3 notifications of mentions i'm like god i need to get back on there 😂

i have no idea in regards to your second peak as like you i'm an complete newbie so il leave thag for the others to advise on 🙈 nope i don't need to be told twice!

omg that IC line is so dark! what was the one from the other day like ?!

Wow that is dark @KRK05 ! I don't think I know enough about those strips to be of much help, but if I were you I'd definitely be getting busy with OH today regardless!
I know, can't believe that I'm a week or so off testing! Time has gone fast. I'm definitely waiting until 1 June so I can be a genuine June Bus Bitch.

Glad everyone enjoys waking up to my essays 😜 I'll have to keep it up. And seeing as you're talking about where you're all from, and for the sake of newcomers, I'm in Australia (hence writing at weird times!).

I notice ovulation cramps, I should be due in 3 days so starting to feel twiches, but I always feel it in the same side, is that weird?

@NemoBear7 this is my first month TTC DC#2! I hope it works! We discussed it loads and then with lockdown held off a bit (I was ready at xmas but we had loads of holidays and weddings planned this year which are now all cancelled/postponed) so last night we decided that we didn’t want to wait any longer and here we are! X

@lucyrp Deffo not boots!! First response all the way they are the best!! X
