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.

@sbhf1987 thankyou. Try a test around 10dpo it may show up if your pregnant. I didn't spot at all or at least I haven't yet if I will. There's still time for you :)

@Nulanoo thankyou very much

@Lubilu28 fingers crossed you get some answers soon. And thankyou xx

Lubilu28 · 07/09/2018 18:39

@Ailsamolly big congrats Smile🎉

I’m really messed up this cycle, spotting this afternoon was heavier than it has been since Wednesday but now it’s gone back to nothing again!! Nothing in my pad just when I wipe!! It’s seriously doing my head in, I just wish af would start xxx

Nulanoo · 07/09/2018 18:25

Congratulations!! X

sbhf1987 · 07/09/2018 15:51

@Ailsamolly that’s great so happy for you. At 7dpo I don’t have any symptoms. Only good thing is I haven’t started spotting as last month I spotted for a week before AF which hasn’t ever happened before x

Ailsamolly · 07/09/2018 15:24

@coastergirl fingers crossed you get a stronger line next time you test xx

Ailsamolly · 07/09/2018 15:22

@sbhf1987 yesterday I got the faintest of faint lines. I did a clear blue last night and wasn't sure if it was an evap line or real and this morning it was far clearer.

I've had cramps since about 2/3 dpo and still have them now, also my boobs have been rather tender for about the same amount of time. Got really painful on my left at 9 dpo but not as bad now. And also started with a cold 4 days ago.

No other noticeable symptoms but continuous cramps aren't normal for me. Usually I only get them when ovulating and the day I start my AF. X

sbhf1987 · 07/09/2018 15:09

@Ailsamolly what dpo did you get your first faint bfp?

Ailsamolly · 07/09/2018 14:46

Got my clearer BFP this morning :) still only 11dpo so I'm going to wait until my af due date to do a cb digital to confirm.

@Prembabymum congratulations :)

@Lubilu28 very sorry to hear that. Best of luck sent your way that the next try is a positive for you

Good luck to everyone else testing soon xx

Boo. I'm sorry, @Lubilu28

Lubilu28 · 07/09/2018 13:23

I’m out!! Spotting has come more like the beginning of AF!! Absolutely gutted! Good luck to everyone else waiting to test, I’m off to the October bus 😫!! Xx

sbhf1987 · 07/09/2018 11:36

@Wishful30 bored of this TWW now. I’m either 7 or 8 dpo. AF due in one week. Part of me thinks I should save my money and not test until I know whether AF is actually late but don’t know if I can wait x
@Changingagain you can get a positive at 10dpo but unlikely if you implanted at 8-9dpo which is common.
@Mummylaura1988 fingers crossed for you

Mummylaura1988 · 07/09/2018 09:16

Is this bus still going?

I couldn't even tell u what cycle I'm on it's been a long process. I'm on clomid as my body doesn't ovulate itself. It's my first cycle of clomid and I've been using opks.
At due 17th Sept. Hoping this is our month for a bro as we BD around the time I got a positive opk.

Fingers crossed all xx

Changingagain · 07/09/2018 08:59

10dpo and BFN on a frer this morning, I'll test again on Sunday if AF hasn't appeared by then but a Frer should be showing it by now shouldn't it?

muddypuddlejumping · 07/09/2018 07:49

@MuddyElephant I'm sorry that af came. I'm glad you've found some positives. Enjoy those drinks and your holiday - all refreshed for the next cycle!

coastergirl · 07/09/2018 07:39

Hmmm. I have the faintest line ever on a FRER this morning. We both think it's there, but I'm not getting excited. You have to look at a certain angle to see. I'll test again in a few days (if I can hold it out that long)!

Noodella18 · 07/09/2018 07:36

Thanks for all the congratulations. Fingers crossed for @lubilu @alisa and congrats @littletipple

Hard to keep track of names and statuses but good luck everyone else and sorry to hear of the arrival of af for some of you xx

Wishful30 · 07/09/2018 07:21

@EverythingNow ah, sorry to hear that. 🤞🏻 you never know, it may be a bfp still.

I have come to the conclusion that for me personally, a faint line is a fail.
I've wound myself up so much with it all over the past year that I am doing my best to not bother testing until at least day 12, and only then as that's the day I go on holiday.
If it doesn't look like @Noodella18 's nice dark line, then I don't believe it!

On an upside I had my last scan by a different doctor who scrutinised it big time!
It seems my uterus lining is uneven and as much as it had reached the right thickness, it was still not 'solid' enough.
So I've been on progesterone ever since.
We only manage to dtd once this time, I know once is all it takes, but I'm not holding out hope for this one.

Best of luck to everyone xx

EverythingNow · 07/09/2018 07:07

Sorry AF arrived @muddyelephant, have a fab holiday!

@Wishful30, I'm due on Sunday. I tested this morning (12dpo) and bfn. On my bfp in April I got a bfn at 11dpo and 12dpo am but a very faint positive 12dpo pm. Sadly wasn't to be but i always hold out a little extra hope until 12dpo!

KatBeCool · 07/09/2018 07:06

I'm away from DH until Monday, crossing fingers I don't ovulate before Tuesday. It's gonna be close. Took my thermometer and OPKs with me

Wishful30 · 07/09/2018 07:00

Congratulations to the positives ☺️

How's everyone else getting on, and when are you all planning on testing?

MuddyElephant · 07/09/2018 06:53

@muddypuddlejumping she's def arrived for me too. At a wedding today and on hol next week so trying to see the silver lining that I can enjoy a few WineWineWineGrin also seems like AF is a bit more like normal for me after several months of v abnormal flow so taking that as a positive sign too whilst cursing how much it hurts

Newbie21 · 06/09/2018 20:30

@Noodella18 congratulations!!

Lubilu28 · 06/09/2018 19:40

Still having slight brownish mucus but still only when I wipe!! Also the cramping I’ve been having has turned into a fullness/pressure type feeling in my uterus 🤔! I’m extremely fatigued! I was almost falling asleep at the dinner table at 6pm and I have no motivation to do anything!! The last time I felt this way was when I fell pregnant the first time (minus the spotting)

Thanks @Ailsamolly I hope we both get our bfps soon!! The wait is making me go crazy!! Xx

LittleTipple · 06/09/2018 19:36

Evening ladies, I haven't been too active on this bus, but I've been keeping up with the thread. I got an urge to test this afternoon and I'm shocked to say I got my BFP 2-3 weeks. I haven't had a period since my miscarriage, so I'm feeling very cautious. The GP said as it was an early loss, I was ok to try again as soon as we felt like it. Feeling incredibly lucky, but just praying that this one sticks. Baby dust to all xx

Ailsamolly · 06/09/2018 19:15

@Lubilu28 arghhh I feel your pain. I was going to give mine to my OH but decided against it because I'm impatient. This last 10 days has been torture. And this day even more so because I want it to be morning so I can test again aha. Really hope it's a bfp for you x
