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

Also I can’t comment on any of your IC or CB flashy sticks as I only use the CB square computer thingy so have no idea!

That was a lot of BFPs on May bus 🤞🏻 We all get one this month! X

@TTCgee Preseed I chuck it in before he gets in the room normally, he described it as bonjela so I don't mention when I'm going to use it anymore 💁🏾‍♀️

@Justkeepswimming91 sorry if I've already asked but have you taken a pregnancy test? If you haven't been using protection could you be pregnant already. Think my period was about 4 weeks after I stopped the pill but this was years ago who so can't remember exactly x

@lucyrp from reading on other threads people love FRER and don't like blue dye tests but I've got a CB I'll use if a line comes up on the ic i got with my opks. You are a sex machine, I do wish I was 22 again or maybe I just need to find a toyboy 😂

@KRK05 I read that your body can try to ovulate and not manage so try again a few days later which may explain a 2nd peak. Mine stayed high for a while after my peak but definitely not as dark as your one today.

@Franklydear I said the same to my OH the other day, he joked when we had the MC that we better use the left ovary next time but last two months I've felt it on my right hand side - when I had scans they didn't mention anything wrong with my left ovary so I have no idea as thought they alternated 🤔

Nope not weird @Franklydear just means you always release an egg from the left or right ovary.
Yep @Cocoblue22 is right. First response early response are the best for early detection @lucyrp. Not that I've ever had a bfp mind lol! But from what I've seen on here.

@SmileyT I took one on Friday and it was negative. We DTD a bit but not until way after when ovulation may have been :s

They don't always alternate @SmileyT so nothing to worry about! ;)

@KRK05 that is a strong peak. The internet says it can be 24-48 hours after even so maybe it’s just that you are one of the ladies who are actually ovulating 48 hours after? And yeah perhaps it’s today!

Bloody hell its not easy is it!!

@Franklydear are you due to ovulate in 3 days? Not weird I’d say Cos you may not ovulate on that exact day

@Skip86 just gonna call you June bus bitch from now on! Love that!

I’m also north, East Yorkshire here!

@TTCgee yeah the first time we used it he got the instructions out & I was like “well that’s not sexy” then he got the syringe & was like “well you thought the instructions weren’t sexy” 😂 so yeah there’s a tube in the bathroom now but we do still have a tube by the bed for just that “don’t you spit on me, use the stuff” moments 🤣😬ahhhhh the real sexy stuff right there

Thanks for your help girls it all makes sense ❤ I read that too & to go by your second peak so we will DTD again tonight (OH will be happy 😝)

If they aren't low for the next few days I will literally cry so they better not continue to stress me out 😂

As for taking about where we are from, I'm from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 think I'm the only Scottish one on here.

@KRK05 not everyone has just one peak unfortunately! This is partly why doctors aren't big fans of us using OPKs as they can be misleading. If you have multiple peaks the guide is to use the last one as an indicator for ovulation. Google multiple lh peaks and there's resources on it!

@minster if cycle continues regular it should be, I normally have cramps for about 3 days
Somebody asked, it took 30 days for the first period after the pill, then very irregular and now settled in 25 days cycles, but I didn't have periods at all on the pill, I don't know if it makes any difference.

@Juno231 I've had a read online now so understanding it better. Il take today as my peak & ovulation tomorrow (if my OPKs dont go peak for anymore days anyway🤞🏻)

@SmileyT i must say i don't look much on other threads as i find it enough to keep up sith this lovely one! i mean is a sex machine a good thing ?! 😂😂

@notyetamumbuttrying okay thanks! i uSed CB last time and co op but wanted to see what everyone else suggested.

@Justkeepswimming91 oh - really hope the period comes along soon, so you can start fresh x

@notyetamumbuttrying oh I just assumed they alternated, thanks for that, can stop worrying it 🙈

@lucyrp I should say sexy little rampant rabbit - but definitely meant it in a good way 😉

Just took an opk and it’s a very faint line so I’m guessing my ovulation was yesterday and I’m now officially in my TWW!! I have a frer too waiting but I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to hold off before testing!!

@SmileyT that's better !😂😂

@KRK05 hopefully you've got this figured out now💪🏼

Hi all
Wow this thread is so busy! Hope you're all well
I'm second month ttc & after periods have returned since breastfeeding
Hoping I'll have a bit more of an idea what's going on this month!!

Who tracks bbt? Which apps do you use x

@lucyrp Feeling much better now so il take today as my peak & ovulation tomorrow. Actually glad was doing the IC too cause just with CB I wouldnt have known I hadnt ovulated yet 🙈

@Newbie9 i track BBT and use fermometer, flo and the iphone health app. fermometer is great as shows your temperatures in chart form x

@lucyrp thanks I'll check it out x

Oh @unluckyducky I find swaying theories fascinating! I've done an accidental sway towards girl as we stopped dtd a few days before O.

As for peeing after sex, I really don't think its an issue. Those little guys shoot out at speed and get to where they need to be. I always pee after sex. When ttc I'll wait a few minutes but that's it. And I've conceived 2 children and no problem with UTIs

@katao what are swaying theories??

@Vil10 like if you want a boy do this, if you want a girl do this.
Apparently sperm that carry the girl gene live longer than the ones with the boy gene so if you conceive from dtd a few days before ovulation then its more likely to be a girl. (We weren't deliberately trying to sway this month, we just had to stop ttc before ovulation so missed the important days. Still a chance of bfp but not likely) There's loads of theories around it if you give it a google. I was on a thread once where they were discussing it and it fascinating!

This tummy ache is awful I feel rubbish :(
