Hey guys decided to make an end of August bus as there is already an August bus and by the time we get to the middle of aug we will need a new one anyway and it will keep us all around the same time in our cycles.

My stats
TTC no 2
Cycle 7
CD 1
AF/BFP due 25th August
Age 29(30 in 10 days 🙈)

Also took another cheapie and it's practically a bfn ☹

Olivebranch26 · 14/08/2019 12:13

Hi everyone, so last time I posted I think I was around 8dpo and getting very faint positives on cheapies. This morning I took a Sainsbury's own and the line is extremely faint. I would have expected the line to have gotten darker by now Confused I know it's still early but doesn't feel like the best sign.

@Sophieb15 ah right okay! Not sure when AF is 'due' as I've just come off the pill and last time I came off I had 2 months of 25 day cycles then one of 33 haha. But I'll be 14DPO Sunday the 25th but I go on holiday on the Tuesday! Do you reckon they'd be able to pick it up if I went the Tuesday morning?

I'm a bit confused now EWCM had completely dried up last 2 days but just had a load there when I wiped??? I'm 2 DPO. I'm going to have to DTD tonight now just in case.

@Something20 I'm in Ireland so prob a bit different over here. If I get a BFP I will wait a few days then go to the doctor to confirm(I will wait as the doctors tests are cheapies and they say to wait until you are 5 weeks to make sure it will show up a full positive on their test) and they send a letter to the Maternity hospital to schedule a 12 week scan.

@Cat028 I know a lot of people don't O on CD 14 I'm always CD 15-CD18

@Sophieb15 CD 14 for me today.

Something20 · 14/08/2019 11:49

@mrssunshinexxx @Sophieb15 at least I can be pretty certain that's what it was! It was so painful though, unbelievable!!
OPK was negative Monday morning.

If I'm lucky enough to get a BFP, do you need to go to the docs? One of my friends said they didn't get seen by anyone till they were 8 weeks, is that normal?

@Lauralozzle I normally have a 12 day LP too but I'm putting down a 14 day one because if AF doesn't arrive then 14DPO I have a really good chance of getting a BFP. Stay strong cheapies are the devil haha. I will also never test early after seeing all the chemicals on here!

@Cat028 What CD are you?

@Something20 Yes I get O pain I would put your O day as Sunday. Was was you O test like on the monday morning?

@rosina38 Do you normally spot before AF?

@mrssunshinexxx How are you? Are you keeping yourself busy?

mrssunshinexxx · 14/08/2019 11:33

@Something20 yes I get it bad the day before and day of it's horrid xx

rosina38 · 14/08/2019 11:11

CD25. Loads of AF type symptoms this morning, feeling bloated and cramps. Brown spotting. Bit early but feel like AF is coming any minute! Sad

Something20 · 14/08/2019 11:02

Does anyone get ovulation pain? I got my peak opk on Saturday and then still a positive on Sunday but I had quite bad pain on my right side most of the day Sunday. Wasn't a dull cramp like pms it was like sharp suddenly twinges. Does that sound like ovulation pain to anyone? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cat028 · 14/08/2019 10:54

Morning all. Sorry to hear some of you are having AF symptoms. Not out until she rears her head though.

I am still waiting for a positive OPK. My app says I should be in my fertile window but not getting a dark second line atm. Have been DTD daily just in case. I should be testing/AF on 28th Aug.

Lauralozzle · 14/08/2019 10:14

@Sophieb15 I have a 12 day luteal phase (looking at previous charts/apps) so period due 26th.

I will try to test on 27th, when I’m officially late... (if I’m late) but I also know what I’m like and I have cheapies in the house.....

@Tamalama @sao81 @MrsD0147 Are we all staying strong not testing?? Your not out till AF arrives. Symptoms are so similar so don't count yourselves out yet.

@Lauralozzle Are you going to count 14 days after O day and expect AF then like I am? I'm 2 DPO today and going by a due date of 26th Aug.

NamiSwan · 14/08/2019 09:59

morning all! CD 21 here, positive OPK yesterday afternoon then pain in my left side this morning so think I have finally ovulated. DTD tonight to make it five nights in a row then finally me and DH can rest! I usually have a 10-12 day LP so probably due 24-26th August. Hoping there will still be a few of us left on the bus by then!

ellarosee · 14/08/2019 09:47

@Tamalama I think AF is on the way for me too 😔 11dpo and lots of cramping last night and this morning. Still, there's a chance 🤞🏻 sending all the positivity to everyone!

Lauralozzle · 14/08/2019 09:25

@Sophieb15 4 days on the trot should be enough, I hope. I too need a break. You’ve covered everything as much as you can - 3 days leading up to O and O day.

I hope we’re both successful this month. I don’t think we could have given it a better shot!

Sophieb15 · 14/08/2019 09:17

@Lauralozzle day 5 was a fail but I still feel like we have done more than enough in 3 days leading up to O and O day. TWW better go fast haha

Morning 😊

I am a divvy. So I decided to do a pregnancy test as it's my birthday and I want cocktails as I'm off to London. Obviously a BFN... wish I knew if and when AF will arrive! At least I can have a drink without worrying :)
Think from September I'll try OPK's to see if I'm actually ovulating.

Have a great day everyone xx

MrsD0147 · 14/08/2019 09:12

@Tamalama same this morning and i am 10DPO too Sad

sao81 · 14/08/2019 08:59

@Tamalama same here! Cramps, tired and hungry, feel miserable

Lauralozzle · 14/08/2019 08:41

@Tamalama you’re not out until AF rears it’s ugly head!

Tamalama · 14/08/2019 08:04

Morning everyone! Think I might be out this month. 10dpo today and woken up with my usual pre af symptoms 😕

How is everyone else doing?
