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.

Oh @sbhf1987 I know what you mean about going insane and symptom spotting ! Welcome back and yes let's all try and chill !! Spa break sounds lovely , jealous !!!! Xx

sbhf1987 · 27/08/2018 10:06

Hey ladies I had a bit of a break for mumsnet (2 whole weeks lol) was getting myself too stressed out reading up on too much as my periods have been irregular for 3 months which is totally not like me and the first month actively ttc got me stressed right out!! I’m back but trying to stay away from google this cycle. CD11 and first flashing smiley on my CB Advanced Digi OPK. Plan for this week is to DTD every day if we can, hopefully ovulate around Friday or Sat if last months anything to go by. Sunday my DH is taking me away to a lovely hotel for the night and Monday to a lovely spa for my bday to hopefully start the TWW very relaxed. If it doesn’t happen again this month I’m out for the October bus as I’m in Italy on holiday without my DH for my fertile week next month! So fingers crossed and let’s hope I don’t lose the plot this month. Had my second acupuncture session last week with another on Weds. Hope you ladies are all keeping sane xxx

@GreatestShowWoman I am also 12dpo. I also did a mid day test at 10dpo (impulsively) and got a bfn!

Trying to wait until the very end of the month now.... I did have a couple d big spots but they've gone down now. I've felt on and off nausea for the past 2-3 days and yesterday got a glass of lemonade in a pub that tasted like metal.... but I never know if I'm imagining things or actually just a bit ill through sleep deprivation (DD1 v bad sleeper atm)....

I guess we will find out soon enough !! Good luck to allStar

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 I know it's weird isn't it. No idea if it's rare or not it's just what they told her at one of her appointments x

Lubilu28 · 27/08/2018 08:17

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 neither did I until I started to read up about it! I’ve been using fmu to test but that’s what clearblue recommends, as long as u do it the same time each day!! Congrats on ur BFP 😍😍😍 🤞🏻 I get mine next month too xx

muddypuddlejumping · 27/08/2018 08:14

I'm now 3dpo and glad to be getting on with the 2ww. Have slightly sore boobs but obviously it's way too early for any symptoms.

I had ib with my first so I'll be looking out for it this time around as well! 😬

Good luck to all of you approaching test day!

Smileyface32 · 27/08/2018 07:16

I’m on 12dpo and have spotting this morning. Think I’m out for the September bus. Also feeling like the cramps about to start 😒

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 27/08/2018 06:54

Sorry, I mean @ImpatientMammy about the two twins over two days!!

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 27/08/2018 06:54

@Lubilu28 I didn't even know that was possible!

Crossing fingers for you @GreatestShowWoman

KinCat · 27/08/2018 02:47

Another snowy white test today. Not surprising at 8dpo! Now I've run out of tests and have vowed not to test again until September when my period's due. It's not like I've even got any symptoms!

@GreatestShowWomen fingers crossed a positive coming your way.

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 22:36

@Lubilu28 my friend conceived twins 2 days apart I'm guessing ovulating twice would have given her a longer surge but she wasn't using OPKs just keep BDing 🤞 fingers crossed for you x

Lubilu28 · 26/08/2018 22:18

So I started testing with my last clearblue opks on Thursday and I’ve had a smiley face everyday since! That’s 4 days in a row 😱 Googled it and found some good stories but also bad ones :( I definitely had some sharp cramping this afternoon so hoping that was big O!!

I’ve ran out of opks now so I won’t be able to test! Been BDing everyday since Tuesday and planning on dtd all week being as were in Rome and child free lol

Anyone else ever experienced long LH surges or heard of any good outcomes from it??

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 22:09

@GreatestShowWoman please don't worry yourself about a 10dpo mid day test it's still early even for fmu there's definitely still hope yet x

GreatestShowWoman · 26/08/2018 21:27

No it was mid day when I was child free

em254 · 26/08/2018 21:25

@GreatestShowWoman was that with fmu? Maybe too early still with 5 days to go before AF, sounds like you have some
Positive signs 👍🏻

cupcakesandglitter · 26/08/2018 20:41

@GreatestShowWoman maybe leave it a couple of days and see? X

GreatestShowWoman · 26/08/2018 20:35

I tested again yesterday on first response completely negative and I was 10 dpo and 5 days before period and it says it should work from 6 days 😕 still got terrible nausea in the evenings which I had with DD. Had a total what the hell have I done wobble yesterday!

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 14:52

I was really teary the other day put it in this website and aparrantly it made me less likely to be pregnant 🙈 someone on last months board shared it and I really like it just wish it was an app

thatshabbychick · 26/08/2018 14:18

@Lov3Rosie Oh that's nice, we can all be testing at the same time! Although, I think I may crack and may end up testing early! I've been having cramping again today and it's worse than normal. I felt really emotional yesterday and today too and I'm never normally like this! Hope my intuition is right, otherwise I'm just losing my marbles!!x

Noodella18 · 26/08/2018 13:47

@veeboo, I’m decorating too! And trying to prise fiancé off the sofa to brave ikea and go and buy a bedside table, lamp, picture frames etc

4 dpo and feeling totes emosh! Burst into tears because I overcooked the soft boiled eggs!! Kind of hope I’m preggo cause otherwise I’m just mental!

Lov3Rosie · 26/08/2018 09:59

@KinCat hey cycle buddy! Now I am tempted to test, too! Why was yours remained white? Did the test not work?

@thatshabbychick @ImpatientMammy we're all on the same cycle. And I am feeling the same way, too - feel so pregant and fingers crossed it's going to be real in a week's time for us. X

em254 · 26/08/2018 09:02

I’m another for the 5th, and also symptom spotting like mad. I’m only 3/4 DPO which is Obvs too early for anything but yesterday I had some sharp pinching pains... probably wind or something but my brain is like oooh early implantation!! 🙈😂

MuddyElephant · 26/08/2018 08:51

@newbie21 @veeboo I'm due 5th too. Away at the moment so no chance to test but plenty of chance to symptom dpot Confused also carrying on my bbt to understand my patterns

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 08:39

@thatshabbychick I'm due on the 2nd too. 🤞 in my head I'm pregnant so hopefully the same is true in reality 😂🙈 so nervous x
