April 2021 TTC Bus:-)

[Lollipop25]

Hi ladies, our March 2021 TTC Bus seems to be full up, would be a shame not to continue. So looking forward to sharing all our BFP's 🤗
I'm sorry if I forgot some people, totally unintentional. Quite a lot on the other thread.

It's so hard to figure out isn't it @amyannx, fingers crossed for you, it could also just be a little bit of irritation bleed (depending on how much is there of course)

Sorry to hear that @Willow1982 but silver lining that your cycles are settling down :) baby dust to you for May!!

@Mum2Girls19 I'm just behind you, 1dpo, I am also going to try and step away from the tests haha, we can talk each other out of it!!

@Mum2Girls19 I'm also 5DPO :)

@Sam8582 thanks, I've only had it for a few hours yesterday when I wiped, just went to the toilet and I have egg white cm with streaks of blood, but only the smallest amount, so confused

Hi all,
I am confused and am looking for some advice. When I ovulate I use an expensive OPK (ClearBlue) and a cheap OPK (Tesco). Usually the 2 give me the same results so I know when I am at my peak. However, today I tested as my app predicted this was the start of my fertile window and the ClearBlue OPK came back with a static 😃 which indicates peak while the cheapie came back as darker than yesterdays (both tests were negative yesterday) but still not as dark as it usually is when I peak. I guess my question is which is the most reliable read? I am only on CD9 and my app has predicted ovulation for the 4th May based on last months cycle. Can you ovulate this early in your cycle? I have attached pics for you to see.

@Mum2Girls19 I’m just behind you 4dpo tomorrow! I have a good feeling about this one but don’t want to get hopes up haha. I’m trying not to test either let’s see how long I last🤣 x

@DreadedTWW

I would trust the cheap one.
If you were ovulating then the opks would be darker that what they are, the clearblue ones only detect a surge and you havent had a flashing smiley yet??

As your only CD9 and you dont usually ovulate this early in the month I would keep testing twice a day

@amyannx could you have ovulated somewhere in between the two dates and it's actually implantation bleed?

@Sam8582 on day 15 at a push maybe as I got positive opk from day 16-18 but a close positive on day 15, I got my peak on day 17,I'm on day 22 now so if I go by that date I'm still only 6-7dpo, I did a FRER today and bfn, I have no clue what is going on, I'm also still doing 1 test a day now and there still on the 0.50's which for me is high usually they drop to 0.20 or so after my peak so no clue x

@Sam8582 here are my test and charts x

@Mum2Girls19 No, funny enough I have never got any flashing smiling faces from that clearblue OPK for as long as I have used it, its always either negative or peak. Thank you for the advice lovely, I will make sure that I test twice a day :) xx

@Willow1982 that’s me out now too! AF came yesterday 4 days early. I’ve been tracking for 3 months and trying for 2. My cycles have been, 32, 26 and 24...

I had my vaccine and I think that may have made my vaccine longer. I’m 43 in June and a bit worried that I’m at the peri menopause stage, I’m going to ring the doctor next week and see if they’ll do some bloods for me. I also think I need start ovulation sticks earlier and I might start taking my temperature. All this while trying not stress about it 🤣 it’s hard work! But let’s be having you May bus!! xx

Oh no, sorry to hear that @Twochews78 at least the mind game of the TWW is over for a couple of weeks for us!! I know it sounds a bit extreme but I brought another OPK so when I get peak on one, I can use the other the next day, as mine don’t let you test again for 48 hours! I’m going to try not to dtd either side of my fertile window next month!!
I hope it’s not the menopause, but at least if you go to the dr you can eliminate that by tests hopefully, god that’s just another worry to add to the mix isn’t it, being that bit older, I’m 38 so not far behind you!
Hope we both get lucky in May, we might be on the same cycle time too!xx

Thank you @Sam8582, and good luck for your TWW, baby dust to you too xx

@Willow1982 ha! We will be very close together. Yeah, just need to see where I’m at with things, hopefully gp will agree to book me in as I think our cut off for trying will be the end of this year. That’s a good idea, at least you can double check where you’re at. What ones are you using at the minute? At this point I’m not sure when I’m ovulating, but I’ll be testing after my period ends and I think I’m going to start start dtd after that too. Fingers crossed for us! xx

Hs anyone else done the BD so many times that they feel sore and bruised down there? 😅🙈 my OPKs have given me peaks for the past 2 days so my ovulation date keeps changing 😅😳 I am now down on my app to ovulate tomorrow but I don't think that my body can take anymore and my hibby has told me that he has ran out of supplies 😂 hopefully it all hasn't been for nothing. If we physically can’t BD today (another peak) or tomorrow (new predicted ovulation day), are we out for this month? Thanks xx

@DreadedTWW sounds like you have got it pretty covered so I wouldn't worry too much. I know what you mean, it really takes the romance out of it doesn't it 😂 I've just come to the end of FW and think we're both pretty relieved to have a break!

Does anyone know if a May bus has been started?

@dunkedbiscuit oh yes, romance died around 4 days ago 😂😂. Would be interested to know about the may bus too xx

Well after the pink cm I got at 3dpo I got pink cm last night only once when I wiped at 6dpo, I'm 7dpo today but don't feel any different just don't understand why I have for the pink cm, smallest amount ever but I have never experienced it before, yeah I'm wondering if there is a may bus too x

@amyannx that sounds intriguing! Could it be implantation bleeding? 🤞🤞🤞

@dunkedbiscuit I'm hoping so but just don't get why I had at 3dpo too x

@Twochews78 I’m using the clear blue monitor and the clear blue sticks that you get the smiley faces on, they match each other most the time! I’m going to start testing mid next week I think! And like you probably dtd from then too to try and cover the right time! But I’m also going to go with my cm this time too which I didn’t last cycle which I regret. Yes fingers and toes crossed xx

Hi ladies, I started the May Bus, if I haven't tagged you, so sorry but feel free to join it 🤗

Ttc- 10 dpo. Any one had sore dry stinging lips as an early sign of pregnancy,
I occasional get dry lips in the winter when it’s cold. But I have randomly got them now . They are so sore. Anyone experienced this

@Zxr12 I've had this the last couple of days too, just more sore than anything.. not too sure on DPO as I haven't been tracking this month. Apps say AF is due tomorrow but I'd say anything from tomorrow until Wed/Thurs (cycles vary by a few days).
The last few days I've had a terrible sore throat, bit of a cold and now I'm in bed with a stinking headache 😫 cold had subsided yesterday but seems to be back today. I'd read that people get colds after implantation as immunity lowers to help with implantation etc... I've probably just got a cold though 👀 xx

Yes it’s very strange to come on so randomly. Yes I’ve had a bit of a cold too but nothing major I’m prob reading in to it too much too .

Good luck !

@Zxr12 Thanks, good luck to you too!
