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.

@em254 that looks pretty positive! The darkest mine got were about equal colour x

em254 · 21/08/2018 16:52

Wish I bought the clear blue ovulation tests now. Static and flashing smiling faces sounds much simpler!

Also welcome newbies! Really hoping the September bus is a lucky bus!! xx

em254 · 21/08/2018 16:49

Ladies does this look like a positive OPK? Last month was my first month using them and I can’t remember if it got much darker than this! 🙈

Hope it's ok if I join the September bus

Hoping for a successful month and timing wise with holidays and weddings, it'd be perfect. It seems crazy now to think of how I used to be convinced that falling pregnant would be instant!

@charliedontsurf that's so funny, bless him 😂 they really don't understand

Hi to all the newbies x

NoseringGirl · 21/08/2018 10:30

Good luck @ImpatientMammy! Hope you're managing to have a good holiday!

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 21/08/2018 07:38

@charliedontsurf Evaps are so disappointing aren't they?? I had two, with colour in, a couple days apart and my boyfriend and j really thought I was pregnant.

September bus for me please!

AF due 6 September. Now coming up to fertile week. Tried SMEP last month along with opks, conceive plus, vitamins and grapefruit juice. Spent week before AF convinced I was pg after a dodgy Tesco blue dye evap and a load of faint frers which actually turned out to just be the indent line Blush

@jxtina86 that is so funny, hope it wasn't anything too graphic Grin

I text DH a pic of my static smily last month along with an aubergine emoji (classy) and he thought it was a positive pregnancy test! He said I didn't realise it would show up so quickly (we'd only DTD the day before). Bless him.

Jxtina86 · 20/08/2018 22:11

@Newbie21 I've got a cold too - typical or what?! Husband has also sprained his wrist - the odds are against us for sure!

Newbie21 · 20/08/2018 21:38

@Jxtina86 haha how funny. I sent my DH a photo of my static smiley with the clear blue writing and a message he need to get home for s@x, thankfully no one saw.

Newbie21 · 20/08/2018 21:35

Finally a static smiley but DH is stuck in the office. I've told him to try and get Home asap but I'm pretty sure he's not going to be in the mood plus I have a horrible cold so not sure I'd want to either! 🤒 I am relieved that it looks like I am ovulating though. I had such a weird and short cycle last month with no static smiley so at least things seem to be functioning a bit better.

@Blondemother I really liked flo for the simple stuff x

ImpatientMammy · 20/08/2018 21:00

Determined to continue as much as possible but it's not proving easy sharing a room with our dog and two year old and adjoining room with his sister and her kids 😰 wish us luck c

ImpatientMammy · 20/08/2018 20:59

Hi all welcome to those new to the group. I'm on holiday I one big house with my other half and his whole family (aunty, cousins nana etc) and flashing smiley faces have arrived on the clearblue 🤦🏻‍♀️ we managed to dtd yesterday and I'm determined to cont

Blondemother · 20/08/2018 20:00

Jxtina86 eeeeek, awkward!

Blondemother · 20/08/2018 19:59

What’s the best app to use to track cycles?
I’d rather not temp straight away as I have a feeling it might turn me into a mad woman, but I think keeping an eye on cycle would be wise!

Jxtina86 · 20/08/2018 19:50

On CD8 and getting what I think are ovulation cramps. I had similar last month just before my BBT rise. Husband is out tonight so text him to say if fancied DTD when he got in... he replied to say that the text came through just as he was showing someone something on this phone... whoops! 🙈

KatBeCool · 20/08/2018 18:37

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 There's gotta be a pharmacy somewhere! Sometimes the hotels will have the pg test at the gift shop.

GreatestShowWoman · 20/08/2018 18:20

I’m symptom spotting like a mad woman! I’ve got cramping that feels like my period is on its way the last two days I’ve had nausea that’s got worse as the day has gone on I had this with my first but seems to early so guessing a bug! But hoping the cramping is implantation which would mean I’m 5dpo

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 20/08/2018 18:02

AF due tomorrow and I'm Symptom spotting like a mad woman. WHY DIDNT I BRING ANY TESTS ON HOLIDAY.

Why did I listen to my stupid boyfriend??

KatBeCool · 20/08/2018 17:09

@muddypuddlejumping I already O-d yesterday. Got a temp dip and a positive OPK the day before. And got a temp rise today. Some I'm at 1 DPO.

muddypuddlejumping · 20/08/2018 12:02

@KatBeCool I'm not using anything to track atm other than an app which has been fairly accurate for the last few months so I'm predicting ovulation on Friday. Going to just try regularly until then, I guess.
When do you predict you'll ovulate?

KatBeCool · 20/08/2018 11:40

@muddypuddlejumping I lost count of how many different sources I read about how often DTD should happen. More of them say every day. When I get peak/solid smiley, we're going for every day, before that every other day.

I'm starting my TWW. Looks like the temp rose up today a bit.
