Too early for a September bus?

I've (intentionally) missed out on an August BFP due to planned holidays but I'm crossing my fingers for a 7th September BFP/AF! Not sure if there's a September thread already?

Age: 27
TTC: No. 1
Cycle: 1

Getting my coil taken out this coming weekend and really hoping I'm one of the lucky ones whose cycle goes straight back to normal! I haven't had a period for years but have been tracking my bbt for the past month.

@ImpatientMammy it is nice to have someone in the same like when can I test realisbly. It’s like I could test tomorrow but I don’t really have symptoms at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least it’s the weekend

Newbie21 · 01/09/2018 19:53

@veeboo it's still super early and esp if not FMU.

I'm going to try and hold out to see if AF shows up.

ImpatientMammy · 01/09/2018 19:40

@coastergirl it's hard to say for definite but I'd say if it wasn't even close to a posative keep testing as your LH can fluctuate all the time without a peak
@Lemonsugar245 it's always nice to have a cycle buddy 🤞

I don't know why (considering I've never had to "try" before, it's just happened), but I got some OPKs the other day. Because I had a miscarriage on 7th/8th August I have no idea when to expect ovulation. I took a test on Wednesday and there was a fairly faint line in the test window which was definitely lighter than the control line. Then I took one yesterday and there was no line at all in the test window but one in the control window, so the test did work. Does this mean that I ovulated before I took the first test? Or does it just mean nothing?

Messyhouse5 · 01/09/2018 18:40

@veeboo Ah I feel your pain, I have done that many times! I remember with my 2nd baby, I tested day before I was due and neg then the next day the faintest line! I could not believe it!

I just wiped and had some dark dark brown tiny streaks... so probably period about to start - ah well!

veeboo · 01/09/2018 17:56

Ahh I caved...BFN. and probably still too early anyway so just feeding the confusion!

rollerskaterdata · 01/09/2018 17:28

@thejollytrolleydolly hey hun! waves Not glad to see you (in a nice way) sorry AF got you. Hopefully this is your month (and mine) I'm CD5 today, period just finished and waiting impatiently to ovulate!

Messyhouse5 · 01/09/2018 17:27

@Thisimmortalcurl - :) Glad to hear I'm not alone!!!

@veeboo my first was a surprise and I was around 2mths when I found out as realised my period was late, I had what I thought was a period the month before but it was so light and only lasted three days when normally 5-7 days long. I had no symptoms other than usual pre menstrual symptoms.

2nd and 3rd were planned and both I felt so sick from around 6 weeks but first baby I only felt queasy 9 -12 weeks. Every baby and pregnancy different!

muddypuddlejumping · 01/09/2018 17:24

@veeboo test test test! 🙈😂 then we can live our poas addiction through you!

I'm 8/9 dpo today and still having creamy cm and quite a bit of back cramping which is unusual. I normally only get it during af. I was very sure I'd try to wait until Friday when af is due but it's such a long way away!

Thisimmortalcurl · 01/09/2018 16:51

@em254 .. massive congratulations.
Nothing to update here, boobs remain sore though .
@messyhouse5
I also have 3 already and I am 40 .. let’s taise eyebrows together !

dragonmummy17 · 01/09/2018 16:03

Opk question... I'm confused. I started on Wednesday (cd8) at 12pm. Thursday 12pm the line was darker but still didn't match the other line. Yesterday at 12pm I thought it was a bit fainter. Today I missed 12pm but did it at 3pm and the line was definitely fainter. So have I missed it? We dtd weds and last night... am I still in with a chance? Ovia doesn't give me a 10 until tomorrow!

dragonmummy17 · 01/09/2018 15:59

@em254 congratulations
@wishful30 sorry you have been so messed around but good luck!

veeboo · 01/09/2018 15:10

Hi @messyhouse5 wondering if before you had your first you ever thought you wouldn't ever get pregnant? I just find it do hard imagining I could be pregnant!

I just bought 2 frer following @em254 good news this morning but don't know whether to wait until fmu or give it a few more days or give in totally and just test when I next need a wee

Lemonsugar245 · 01/09/2018 14:12

ImpatientMammy I’m due 7/8th for AF. Yesterday I was convinced I’m out. Today have a terrible headache and this morning a stitch pain left hand side. It could also be a cyst and I’m dehydrated who knows 🤦🏻‍♀️

ImpatientMammy · 01/09/2018 14:10

Congrats @em254 that's amazing news!! My period usually comes tomorow but still a week to wait due to delayed AF so I've been comfort eating today 🙈 anyone else due around the 9th? C

Messyhouse5 · 01/09/2018 13:53

Hello just joining in...

I am due today, no period but few days ago I had a mucous pink show (sorry about that) but I've had cramps which I have had before with other babies.

I am holding out as every month give in and annoyed with myself - dread to think the amount of money I have spent on tests.

This would be baby number 4, and I am nearly 40 so will probably get lots of raised eyebrows from family and friends! ;)

Good luck to you all especially for first time mummies, it really is a wonderful ride!

stormtrooperjulian · 01/09/2018 12:55

@em254 congrats!

I have some cramping today. Am 6/7dpo but I have no idea what normal pms symptoms are so I don’t know how I’m supposed to be feeling at this point in my cycle!

cupcakesandglitter · 01/09/2018 12:48

@em254 congrats xxx

Wishful30 · 01/09/2018 11:58

@em254
Massive congratulations to you 🤞🏻 for a good sticky little bean xx

Wishful30 · 01/09/2018 11:56

Morning ladies,
I'm a bit calmer today. No work this weekend, and no management to contact until Monday.
So I've collected my trigger injection, even though I have my peak LH surge today. I thought I'd use it anyway.
I've also got my progesterone to take from Monday for 2 weeks 👍🏻 (I've been asking for this for a while)

So today I'm trying to relax, messing around with some paints. Having a tidy in the house.
Waiting for DH to come home. It's been a while since we BD due to me having a rotten cold and him doing night work.
So YAY that this has fallen on a weekend!!

Also, I have one 18mm and one 19mm follicle. So we have a high chance of twins 🤦🏻‍♀️
I have always said 'I only want one' but I'm at a stage now where I'm just wanting whatever is healthy and happy 😬

veeboo · 01/09/2018 10:22

@Newbie21 I'm going to try and wait until at least Monday when AF pain would be expected. Enjoy your weekend!

em254 · 01/09/2018 08:29

Thanks everyone, I’ll test again in a few days to make sure the line gets stronger!

Baby dust and best of luck to you all xx

sbhf1987 · 01/09/2018 08:26

My 2nd 2WW has started! Glow app says 1dpo but I think I’m 2dpo based on a peak OPK Thurs morning and cramping. AF/BFP due 14/09!
Much busier this month than I was last month so hoping it goes much quicker then either way I’m off to Tuscany on 22/09 without DH right over my ‘fertile week’ so a month off if no luck this month!

sbhf1987 · 01/09/2018 08:11

@KatBeCool are doctors aware of your miscarriage? I would exaggerate how long you’ve been trying too x

@em254 ahhhh amazing!!! 😍
