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

@KateColx the food shop just seems to be a mission at the moment so try and put it off for as long as possible! 😂🙈 i'm nearly at the phase of binning all the biscuits and chocolate in the house because i'm fed up of it sat in the cupboard. some of it is stuff thag i don't even like but if i really crave something sweet il eat it anyway and is totally not worth it! 😂

@Minster2012 omg you actually made me spit my tea out then 😂😂😂 maybe i was reserved when i wasn't even writing ... just lurking 🤫🤭

does anyone else use the app for this or do you use the browser ? just curious

@Minister2012 Noo I’m sure you you’re not, it just takes others a different time, I’m sure you’ll get there! I’m using the easy@home opk strips and downloaded the premom app so I can log them, I’ll attach the pic! I think because I’ve had 3 days of positive opks that my ovulation day was either yesterday or today but I’m not sure how to actually detect when I’m out of my fertile window? Maybe I just use opk tomorrow and if it’s faint again then I’m post ovulation? Do you find the clear blues are good?x

@lucyrp oh it really is isn't it, I have to pep myself up to going each time haha. I really should just do an online shop so I'm not tempted by the chocolate aisle 👀 I'm telling myself I'll start afresh from Monday 😂

Yes I use the app, much easier than the website I think x

@Ltay2 I totally agree with the apps they can throw u off a bit but I just like them to store them to look back, I actually find Premom probably a bit more accurate but maybe because I'm using the IC to go with the app. Glad hes a bit better & 2 days of rest will be great 🥰

@KateColx Definitely dont discourage it, theres plenty on these threads who actually only DTD on day of +OPK & still get a BFP, it definitely only takes once at the perfect time & u did that. It is so crazy weve had the exact same 2 cycles now, what u doing about testing holding off this time or early? 🤔

@lucyrp Your so like me.... stalker mums 😝 I use the browser now, I used to use the app but I find the browser easier to refresh to keep up the app I had to keep scrolling from the start of the thread 🤨

@Vil10 I had my peak yesterday & was high reading again today so I'm gonna test until it goes to low. I have no clue what it means if it's still high does that mean I haven't ovulated yet 🤔

@KRK05 there's a button at the top of my screen on the app with two arrows which you can use it and switches it from the bottom to the top so you can resd from newest to oldest, do you not have that ??🙈definitely a stalker mum 😂

@KateColx i tried online and gave up i couldn't get a delivery slot 😂

@Vil10 those are definitely your peaks on CD17 so is that today? So that’s likely ovulation today or tomorrow then I think? I find the clear blue much easier to interpret for me (Though at day 7 of a “high but no peak I’m definitely thinking they are mocking me!) as I’m so bad at not going to the loo every 2 hours which is bad for the ICs but it’s good to see the easy at home ones as I thought to myself earlier I will get those ones next time so I would say you are into TWW tomorrow 🥰🍀

There’s a few others at similar points to you so def right point 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Okay maybe a tad controversial but not sure 50 shades does it for me, had a few fanny flutters in the middle but this Anna girl is just so annoying to me I couldn't concentrate. Also why is fifty shades of grey and fifty shades freed on Netflix but the middle one isn't. Rant over!!

Okay I'm off to bed alone kinda frustrated but I'm such a loser I'm just looking forward to getting on the CB tests tomorrow - even though I know it's going to be a blank circle, it's one step closer to next week which is fertile week 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

@SmileyT why did she annoy you ? i thought she was funny 😂

i feel like i've let you down now if you all think it's rubbish!😂🙈

@lucyrp I dont have that on my app so annoying so theres no way I'm scrolling through 100s messages to get to the bottom 😂

@SmileyT I totally agree with u, she annoyed me too 😂 so I've only ever watched the 1st one, might give them a go again though cause that was way back when it first came out.

@KRK05 are you apple or android ? i don't blame you 😂😂

@SmileyT actually i don't think i liked them when j first watched them because i read the books and the books are much better but i did like them this time round 🙈😂

I haven’t watched any of the 50 Shades films! 😱 are they really worth the watch? I don’t think my OH would be keen on watching them with me 😂 not his cuppa tea at all!

@Bear127 i mean me and OH have enjoyed the first two but seems the other girls didn't like them so much😂 i wouldn't go into it with high expectations they're not that raunchy but did give me a few fanny flutters and i just liked how she kept him on his toes, personal preference i guess 🙈😂

@smileyt So I ended up watching 50shades and I agree Anna is so annoying! Much prefer forwarding to the scenes I like and reading the books

Ladies I believe I'm on a 30day cycle but should j still be testings opks with IC from CD10? Seems like a waste if I think I'm going to OV on CD16/17? I don't know has anyone's cycle ever shortened after a mc?

I'm on CD8 and DH has just dislocated his shoulder (so we need to take it easier than usual but I know DH won't last more than 3days without so that AF has gone) so I'm scared il miss the window lol x

Morninggg! Don't you all just love waking to my first message of the day?! Hope you're all having lovely peaceful sleeps, ready to pee on sticks in the morn.

@Slat3 welcome! I am TTC #3 also, but first time tracking (obsessing), so we're similar!

@Vil10 looks like CD17 is ov day for sure!

@Sunshine1984 @Georgie31 @Justkeepswimming91 welcome to you too! 🤞🏼 to everyone for June!!

I have never seen the 50 Shades films but will probably just stick to my new found love of porn 🤣

I always have chocolate and cookies in the house, in fact I feel anxious if there aren't any in the cupboard 😳😬 I am actually a baker (well, I was one until covid) and made a chocolate tart for my mum's bday which was lussssh. All in moderation, of course 😝

I use the app, and you click on the little > symbol next to a post to be able to bookmark it. Save scrolling and figuring out where you last left the chat #yourewelcome

Woke up at 4am with the absolute worst cramps and almost UTI like sore vag!! Ended up making a hot water bottle and trying to straddle it between my vag and tummy to get back to sleep. 5DPO today

@Mococo1 I had an MC in feb and cycles have been a bit off since. Used to be regular 28 days but last month was 25. If you have plenty it might be worth testing from CD10 to get a good record in run up to ov day 😊

Hey again! I'm 32 and TTC #3, I've very long cycles (seems like 36days recently) since I came off the mirena coil in January! I used to be a regular 28days a few years ago before the coil so its very frustrating I have to wait so long! Only on CD6 and won't be testing to 24th June ish or so! Definitely happy to follow here and hoping you all get lovely BFPs to spur me on in the meantime ☺ This will be my 2nd/3rd cycle of really hoping to conceive! Taking folic acid just and first month using cheapie opks just to see if I'm ovulating at all really! And when!
Loving the 50 shades chat! Sometimes a poster but always a lurker from the first June bus ☺

Hi lovely ladies, chronic lurker here as I find it hard to keep up to date with multiple threads and I am on a coupe of others! Enjoying the chat here so far though!

My husband and I are TTC #2 on cycle 2 following a MMC in Feb this year. No luck last month but feeling good about June! We are 3DPO so will be testing very early June. Used OPK tests for the first time this month and really enjoyed learning that I ovulate late in my cycle (CD19). Have just finished lots of BD'ing and looking forward to the TWW. No early testing or symptom spotting for me - drove myself crazy last month!! Sending luck to you all x

@lucyrp I felt like Anna in the film seemed to have less control then how I'd read it in the book, in the film I don't know why I found it annoying she 'fell in love' with him but she doesn't even know about his family, his job, his friends - the only thing she knows is the sex and the presents 😂 think I was expecting it to be more Porn like 🙈 glad I watched it though x

@Mococo1 personally I'd be doing one test a day early afternoon from CD10/11 just to make sure you catch it, if it has no line then just stick to one but if you see it increases ramp up to 2/3 tests a day. I didn't track ovulation before MC but based on cycle lengths mine hasn't shortened but I know others have so probably a good idea just to check 👌🏾

@Skip86 that bookmarking thing is amazing would never have thought of that. How are you feeling now? Do you think the pains could be early pg? Or unrelated? x

@RiverRoo @Maybe333 glad you've jumped over to this bus, hope it's a lucky month for you both ❤️

Update from me I'm CD9 - first CB test and low fertility as expected but I'm officially in the POAS game 🤣

Morning Girls, so my temp this morning has risen again and now my fermometer app has changed my day of ovulation to 4 days ago ?! wtf?! (picture attached) but i've just done my CB and GUESS WHAT .... i have my static smiley!!😁😁 what do i do now ?😂😂🙈

@SmileyT i guess i didn't really pay that much attention to it in terms of how quickly things moved because i already know the ins and outs from the books so i was just enjoying the scenes? in the film it does move pretty quick and there isn't really a plot it's just the sex more but as i say i already knew from the books and me and OH didn't watch it all in one sitting anyway i think we watched like an hour before we were upstairs in bed 🙈😂oh no its definitely not porn like ! 😂

@Skip86 i adore waking up to your first message in the morning 😉 how was your evening after ?😉

@SmileyT I have no idea what those pains could've been, but I doubt anything preg related at this early stage!

@lucyrp haha I'm glad you like waking up to me 😉💋 When I posted that msg last night it was already 11pm, so I got a 5 min massage and then we both went straight to sleep 😂 We are old.

@RiverRoo hi and welcome! 👋🏼

@Maybe333 hello again! welcome to the next mad house😉 and welcome to @RiverRoo😁
