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

@Minster2012 omg! Hahaha that really is grim 😂😂😂

I'm sorry if this has already been said and I've missed it... but I thinkkkk I'm ovulating today.

Should I keep taking my evening primrose oil or stop now? Also... do I start with the pineapple and Brazil nuts now or in a few days? Xx

@Cocoblue22 @Juno231 Definitely best to stay away from google 🙈

@Minster2012 Omgggggg I cant breathe 😂😂😂happy hump day to u 🙌🏼 I'd love to swap roles with a man for a week I swear they'd appreciate everything we do more 😂 my dogs harder work than my child most days!

@KRK05 I keep trying to get DH to do my job for a week (including toddler groups & walking dogs TWICE a day) but he’d just take DS to his mothers, he’s done a long weekend where he went to his mothers on Friday & Sunday (where they have 4 acres & other dogs so our dogs love it & walk themselves for a walk instead of another)

@TTCgee YAY for ovulation! 🥳I don’t know about primrose oil but Brazil nuts now but only 2 a day max otherwise with other vitamins you can cause problems with too much selenium

I thought it would give ppl a laugh. Gross dog. “YAK” as the child would say

@ttcgee I believe you're meant to stop taking EPO once you ovulate! I've various reasons for why - both that it causes mild uterine contractions which could impact your implantation success but also that it might bring on AF early which obv also isn't ideal.

@Minster2012 My OH does that or will go on a day out with his friends & their kids & dogs, which I'm pretty sure is probably the men talking having a laugh & kids entertaining themselves & the dogs running wild so pretty easy if u ask me 🤷🏼‍♀️ I want the full shabang of roles reversed 🙏🏼 might pack my bags & leave for a week 😂

@SmileyT I know I prob shouldn't as it's stupid early but I told my mum I'd tell her right away so that she doesn't need to ask me every month so I'd tell them together. Although it's Father's Day a week later so maybe I'd wait until then and then say.
@TTCgee if epo is anything like Angus castus then stop day before ovulation. I got my smiley today so I took my last Angus today in prep for ov tomorrow. I'm so excited this month cos I pushed ov back by two days meaning I've released mature egg at last! Now to get hubby to dtd with me again tonight and tomorrow, already did it this morning once I saw the smiley lol!

I try so hard to keep up with this group but I can’t! Love reading everyone’s posts though 😂

Ladies tell me if I'm being symptom spotting crazy...

My CM has gone thick, and slightly cream coloured with a sweet smell - and my pelvis hurts, like the bones you sit on and around my lady bits. Feels like when my SPD started in my first pregnancy (when I was 6 months gone...) and I've had stabby pains in my womb area, like just random wee stabs of it. My boobs are killing me, especially my left nipple. My carpal tunnel is playing up in both wrists...and again I've only had this when pregnant.

I know I'm only 6 DPO but with everything above happening all at once today my mind is going crazy.

Can someone talk me down from my high hopefulness!

@OnNaturesCourse I’ve heard that anything before 20 dpo is just period pains as prior to this point you’re not technically pregnancy as the possible baby is just a bunch of cells.

It could just be your body playing tricks on you, but I have heard of people feeling pregnant really early on before they tested.

I know sometimes when you want to be pregnant really badly you can almost imagine you have symptoms when sadly it’s just the start of either period pains or normal bodily stuff.

Fingers crossed it’s a positive when you test

@OnNaturesCourse nah girl, that sounds promising! You'll be one of those annoying women that has a blazing line at 8DPO at this rate!

@juno231 maybe it isn’t a uti then I dunno 🤷🏼‍♀️ Feel sooo bloated and sort of crampy! Got banging head ache today hoping that’s due to Ov! X

Thing is I don't feel pregnant - with my first I knew something was going on from about 7DPO but it wasn't confirmed until later on.

I dont have any of those feelings at all, just off symptoms

@OnNaturesCourse All sounds very promising, especially all at once. I hope it's a BFP for u 🤞🏻

Nemo bear.... 20DPO? Does that mean past when AF is due?

@KRK05 I'm 2dpo (or maybe 3) and my cm is back to normal so a little bit when I wipe which is whitish, quite dry in comparison to ewcm before ov.
It usually changes towards AF so I'm just keeping an eye on it for a couple weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Finally getting a decent line on my OPKs

@33carr how often do you take your opks? And at what time?

Not due to Ov until a few days but my lines are now where near that dark!

@Mococo1 I test twice a day, once at lunch time at work and then when I get home (6:30/7:30) buttttt mine yesterday evening which wasn't event 24 hours ago was barely even visible, I'll attach a pic but it's the top one. I thought I wasn't going to ovulate as the line as pretty much non-existent! LH surges can be really short sometimes so easy to miss

@33Carr thanks for sharing that pic, I had a reeeaaaalllllyyy faint line today after total stark whites for days and that’s given me hope 🤞🏼 For you!

Wow that's so confusing! I'm wondering if it's my water intake - you've gone from barely nothing to the pic below-amazing still hope for me then my FEM app showed the below and I got scared my cycle had shortened! I think il AF on the 1st so still have some time hoping to get a positive ima. Few days

Sorry I meant ovulate on the 1st x

Hey ladies I haven't been on here much today as I've been enjoying the sunshine! Managed an 8 mile walk this morning but it's looking like il have to not walk long distances for a while as I have blisters on both feet ☹️ currently sorting mine and OHs tea out and sorting DS for bed, still so warm here😅 what's everyone been up to?

@33Carr that is a relief! Mine are still blank but you've inspired me to test again today just in case.

@KRK05 all about the notes, if you do have to do another month it means you remember what is normal. I think we all convince ourselves it's the first time for everything in TWW 🙈

@Minster2012 that is bloody hilarious but also so disturbing, I've never had a baby or a dog but together that is a handful x

@notyetamumbuttrying tbh there is no right and wrong, it's your body and I always feel that not telling people early just encourages the secrecy of Miscarriage. If something does go wrong (touch wood it doesn't for any of us) but if it does then telling people you care about shouldn't be a bad thing or something you have to hide 🤷🏾‍♀️

@OnNaturesCourse these all sound like positive signs, I honestly think hope in the TWW is all you have, I've fallen pregnant three times in my life - the first two I had so many signs and I knew before my period was due, the 3rd one I had no signs before period due so every pregnancy will be different. you implant anywhere from 6-12dpo and that is when pregnancy starts so definitely not too early for symptoms 🤞

Yay to nearing peak @33Carr hoping this will be me on Friday night x

@lucyrp hey lovely, I'm knackered from the sun, just another day at the office for me 😴 that's not fun with the blisters, get some of those super plasters on to let them heal xx

Glad the picture has reassured some of you! It's certainly suprised and reassured me! 😂
