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.

I'm testing tomorrow @ apparently 12dpo
Had to stop myself this morning! I just want to know either way now, it's driving me nuts

@dragonmummy17
Don't feel bad for wanting a second child! It would be lovely for your DS to have a sibling to play with xx
Go for a GP appointment, you have nothing to loose. It may at least put your mind at rest.
Take care of yourself and try switch off a bit.
Maybe work out roughly when you're ovulating next, and don't chart anything. Give yourself a break x

Pretty sure I'll see you on the October bus x

I'm out for this month. AF arrived last night which means a 20 day cycle. We probably missed the fw by several days as my cycle is usually 25 days.
I'm feeling fed up. That's now 6 cycles and no sign of a BFP. I'm 36 and probably should start thinking about a gp appointment. Except I'm not sure they'll bother as I already have DS. And I feel guilty about wanting a dc2 so much because it feels like I'm saying DS isn't enough for me. Which he is and I feel so lucky to have him.
Sorry for the vent. I'm feeling a little emotional today and just needed to let it out. I'll jump over to the October bus shortly. Good luck to everyone waiting for their bfp

@Newbie21 so sorry to hear that.

KatBeCool · 12/09/2018 03:13

Adding to that, I can clearly see the strong blue on CB if I look at it without the digital reader.

KatBeCool · 12/09/2018 03:11

Opened a new box of ClearBlue. I knew I'm due for Peak as I've been getting High (reading) for the past three days. Tried one stick - negative, tried another one - negative. Tried the trusted internet cheapie - positive. All my old CB always matched the cheapie, this one seems to be faulty. Disappointing as I had to go two stores to find this OPK.

Haven’t been on here really since I first posted but now 3dpo according to my solid smiley face test. So is 12dpo the best time to test? My cycles have been all over the place for last 6 months, only started using ov sticks this months so it’s the first time I’ve actually known a bit more about what’s going on! So I guess AF is due around 22nd?

KatBeCool · 11/09/2018 21:47

@Newbie21 so sorry, hoping you're ok.

It's very hard to see so many of us go through a struggle month after month. A couple of months ago one of my girlfriends said "Getting pregnant is so easy", I just about smacked her. She's young, never tried getting pregnant, she had no idea and argued back.

ronniemipperton · 11/09/2018 21:27

So sorry to hear that @Newbie21. Best of luck for next month.

Chocolate89 · 11/09/2018 19:36

@newbie21 ah im so sorry to hear that!! Cp are so hard, straight from that bfp we start planning our future lives only for it to dissappear before us! Mind yourself over the next few days. Dont lose hope cause it will happen for you xxxxx

Wishful30 · 11/09/2018 19:27

Aahhh @Newbie21 I'm So sorry. Sending hugs and happy thoughts. Wishing you the best of luck for next month!
Try not to let it get to you or you'll end up loosing the plot like me!
Chart the basics. Bd at ovulation. Be kind to yourself and try not to stress over it. (Easier said than done I know!)
Xx

Newbie21 · 11/09/2018 19:04

Hello all, just to say that after getting my BFP, a few days later I started bleeding and sadly it was a CP so I will likely join the Oct Bus. I know I want to TTC this month just not sure if I want to try and be a bit more chilled about it so as not to put too much pressure on myself. Good luck to those wait my to test and congratulations to those with BFPs xx

shelly10 · 11/09/2018 17:36

Ladies I'm hopping off the September bus and onto the October one, AF came today. Good luck to everyone who is still in! Maybe see a few of you on the next thread, but hopefully not many of you!!! Xxxx

Jxtina86 · 11/09/2018 17:17

Hi @cupcakesandglitter and @rollerskaterdata - Good to see you both over here!

Yay for others testing around the same time - glad I'm not alone in the wait! I have no symptoms to compare to other pregnancy as it's my first time trying but it doesn't stop me from googling even the most unlikely. For example I have been having very vivid dreams for the last few days and my teeth keep tingling (I've never had this before). No idea if it's just coincidence or not but my Google search history is that of someone looking for any and all signs! At 3dpo I'm inclined to say it means nada but that doesn't stop me...!

AlReef · 11/09/2018 16:58

Hi all, I'll be testing on the 20th too, the day af is due 🤞

Chocolate89 · 11/09/2018 16:47

You are almost there my dear!! Try to hold off till then and fx for a wonderful bfp xxx

@cupcakesandglitter that is hilarious, im the exact same!! Counting my ff chart to make SURE next wednesday is my 12 dpo testing day, and not really tomorrow 😂

OneMoreWish · 11/09/2018 15:31

@Wishful30 you are doing so well with temptation of frer. Keep strong xx

Wishful30 · 11/09/2018 15:20

@Chocolate89
I can use my FRER from today, but I'm paranoid that I'll get a false positive due to my meds. So if I can handle it, I will wait till Thursday. I will then be in the clear and 12dpo 🤞🏻

cupcakesandglitter · 11/09/2018 15:06

Hi @Jxtina86 !! Lovely to have you on here x

@rollerskaterdata @OneMoreWish tell me about it!! I keep checking Flo several times a day hoping that it's miraculously changed to 13dpo or instead of 13 days to go!! X

Chocolate89 · 11/09/2018 14:24

Fingers crossed wishful!! You are due to test soon aren't you?? Xx

Wishful30 · 11/09/2018 13:16

Symptom spotting here we go, even tho I promised I wouldn't as it's very unlikely we dtd at the right time... and only once. 🙄

However, very tired, like to be snuggled under the duvet and DH says I'm nuts as he's hot and won't come near me as I'm roasting.
This morning i was really over heated for no reason what so ever and quite sweaty (sorry tmi)
These are good signs for me as I don't think I've had these other than when I've had my bfp's before.
All my other symptoms I'm putting down to af and medication 🤞🏻

OneMoreWish · 11/09/2018 09:43

@rollerskaterdata I hear you! 13 days to go! X

rollerskaterdata · 11/09/2018 09:07

Hey @Jxtina86! I remember you from the waiting thread 😊 good to see you over here! There are a bunch of us testing within a few days of each other so hopefully we'll get a nice flurry of BFPs!

1 dpo here 🙄 why does the tww go so slowly?!

Chocolate89 · 11/09/2018 09:03

Hello jxtina86! Delighted you're here with us! I'll be testing on the 20th with you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Jxtina86 · 11/09/2018 06:31

Hi ladies - I've been a bit quiet on here for the last few weeks. My cycle was a bit crazy and I was getting slightly disheartened that there was no sign of ovulation. However seemed to happen over the weekend and I'm now 3dpo. AF due 20th and trying to hold out until then to test...! Huge congrats to those with BFPs! Fingers crossed for everyone else in the tww!
