Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for and haven’t added the naughty girls at the back but you know who you are 😉

@blodyn91 ah no way! How interesting. Will definitely keep at it then. Thank you.

@LaceyMermaid I'm going to try and wait this cycle until CD31 if I get that far before AF 😬 I'm usually 27-28 days long but 31 days has been my longest cycle. I think I prefer a period arriving to a blank stick.

@LV1987 @DKDK123 we're close in timings. 7dpo over here and not been emotional today but have felt weirdly anxious, sicky all day. Wonder if that's a symptom? Also I'm aching in my legs and the odd vag pain. I always get a myriad of pms tho so I can never be sure of anything 🤷🏾‍♀️ we did dtd 4 times in FW tho, but we've done that before and still bfn so I'll just sit quietly and wait 🙄pretty boring in the tww, only one week left tho 😬

@Quercus3 I don’t blame you I’m not sure I want to see a blank stick either. Each to their own though I guess! I’ve definitely started to develop a POAS addiction since doing opks!

Marking my spot 🥰
God u go away for an hr you miss out on so many new posts lol

@notyetamumbuttrying I always find the end of the first week/start of the second week the hardest part, feels like youre waiting forever doesnt it! I dont mind the 2nd half of the TWW as the few days before my period comes ive usually resigned myself to the fact its not going to be that month as I feel AF is about to arrive about 3 days beforehand. This is the sucky part of the wait we're now in, the part where you symptom spot, get impatient and drive yourself crazy 🙈

Does anyone that use the premom app see the pregnant in 9cycles guarantee? I just saw it there havent read all the ins and outs properly but looks like if you sign up and upload your data each month then if it hasn't happened in 9 cycles they reimburse all your compatible OPK sticks and pregnancy tests. Im almost a year into trying now so def won't be hanging about another 9months without getting help from the docs but just thought it might be worth looking into if you're still quite early on in your TCC journey and use the specific brands of tests anyways.

👋🏻 I'm back today after a bit of a down week with AF, but that's passed now. Just on time to spot the new bus 😆 hope I've not missed too much. I've still not downloaded my deleted fertility apps and have got no OPKs on the go. Keeping this month casual to try and prevent the same upset at the end of this month 🤞 Hope you're all feeling positive this cycle!

Didn't even need to see the link to know this title was our new bus 😂 marking my place whilst stuffing my face with 🍍 and 🍫

Hiya,

Marking my spot af due on the first. I ovulated later than I expected, after opk for the first time in years.

I am trying to hold out testing until Tuesday...wish me luck, Im already itching to test

Thanks for welcoming me to the back of the bus @Minster2012 @lucyrp I'll bring the more magazine and an extra value bottle of lambrini. That's what the cool kids drink right?! 💃🏼✌🏼

Thank you for all of the lovely comments last night! I've decided no testing in August, I'll still have a rough idea of ovulation so just going to keep it regular and see how we go ☺️ let's hope that reduces the pressure 😅

@lucyrp yaayyyyy I'm so excited for you!! 😂💃🏼 someone said on the previous thread that we need your FW posts back and we definitely do 😂👀 x

@2020mission sorry you've had a bit of a down week but glad you're back 🥰

Evenin ladies, added all of your dates to my little list ☺️ welcome to those that have joined us 👋 I just spent the evening with one of my friends 2week old baby and it was so nice. Currently standing waiting for a bus home pretty sure I'm going to piss my pants so that's good 😂

@DKDK123 I signed up for the 9month guarantee 🙋🏾‍♀️ I agree if you are using easy at home opks you might aswell 👌🏾

@SmileyT Please can you add me onto the bus! My AF is due on 5th August 😬

@2020mission good to have u back huni. Hope ur keeping well x

@DKDK123 pure dog shit right 😂 I always feel mine 3 days before too. That pesky progesterone throwing us into a spin! I literally go crazy, I scare myself sometimes 😝
@SmileyT aww two weeks old, how precious! Did you manage to dodge, "you next" questions?
Hope you managed to hold your wee!!

@SmileyT aw newborn cuddles are the best 🥺🥺 my best friend is due early Aug and I'm so excited for some cuddles. How have you been feeling? Hope you managed to get home without weeing yourself 😂 x

I'll add my date if my body ever decides what it's doing 😒😂 so for now I'll be at the back of the bus 😊

Well, I have just napped for an hour and a bit 🙊 wasn't particularly tired but OH is at work and I was bored 🤷‍♀️ what's a girl to do eh 😂😂

@notyetamumbuttrying no dodging of questions because they know about the MC and would be proper twatty to ask after that. Tbh I think both my friend with baby and other friend there know I'm pregnant - they were the 1st people I told last time - she opened a bottle of Prosecco and offered me a glass 3 times and I said no because I was doing 'dry july' and my other friend was like I saw you 2 weeks ago and you was drinking 🤪 then she got one of my fave bottles of rose out and I said no again, but they won't ask, they'll wait until I'm ready.

@KateColx so sad as we had no cuddles, they've decided that if adults aren't hugging doesn't make sense for baby to be hugged was so desperate for a cuddle but hopefully soon. And I think not testing will definitely take a lot of pressure off and you know what they say as soon as you stop trying it will happen (which makes me roll my eyes but for you I hope it happens) xx

And yes I managed to get home without wetting myself, just shattered now after leaving for work at 6.55am so will be fast asleep soon 😴

@SmileyT ah I see. Very considerate friends! Mine would drag it out of me lol, well some of them, not all of them.
Ah what a shame you didn't get a hold but can understand the reasonings.
Well done for not wetting your pants! Get a good nights kip too 💤
@LV1987 ah lush! Love a good nap 😏
@KateColx my sister is due mid aug, I cannot wait to meet my new nephew! She's having a mini baby shower/bbq on sat. Will prob rain tho so the gazebos are at the ready!

@SmileyT aw I guess that makes sense, must be difficult to navigate all of this with a new born. They sound like very good friends not dragging it out of you too 🥰 hahaha it does me too but I'm hoping it's true for us, I told OH tonight that I'm not going to track but that means we'll need to have sex more often over that period of time and he seemed fine with it so I feel good about it ☺️ xx

@notyetamumbuttrying aw we had a baby shower for my friend on Saturday, well it was actually a baby brunch haha because me and my other friend who were organising it don't really like baby showers so we put our own spin on it 😂 I hope the weather holds out for you! 🥰 x

Do you know what is funny, being aware of 'symptom' spotting knowing full well I can't be pregnant. Those little twinges and feelings alllll there 😂 x

Thanks for the thread again @SmileyT ! Still unsure but if I have ovulated yesterday then I'll be testing in 2 weeks time :) not going to do the whole "wait for af" thing this time and just brave it!

Hope everyone's ok! I went to our beach for the first time today since lockdown and I am sunburnt to heck. OUCH! Surely that's not a good omen for the tww 😂

@KateColx yes I thought it was you. We spoke about it on the last bus didn't we. It's not really a baby shower either, more a 'sprinkle' as it's just a bbq and presents. The menfolk are coming too so defo not the traditional baby shower. Thanks, I hope so too!
And yes to twinges and pains outside of the tww, that's why I tell myself just to behave when I feel them in tww. 😂

@SmileyT thanks for the new thread!

So today I left the house at 1 ish and got back not long ago and I have managed to soak through a regular tampon whilst I was out but it is very brown blood that's coming away. Hoping it will continue to flow 🤞🏼

Spent the day with my two friends one of whom has an 8 week old little boy so spent 4 hours cuddling and looking after him which was lush🥰

Sayyyyy what???? New bus layyyyddddiieeessss??? Damn it I'm good at naming these buses...but it's just a flying stop for me so here you are...3 pictures....guess where I am 😂see you at the back @Garagesale @Lucyrp

Glad something looks like it's finally happening for you @lucyrp! Absolutely typical tho that it waits till the docs finally listen and take bloods then AF decides to stop playing hide n seek! Hopefully it's in full flow tomorrow and you can start getting excited again.
