End of August bus

Good luck everyone

TTC no 1
Age 29
Cycle 5
AF due 19th August (currently 9DPO)

@Sophieb15 I'm roughly same as you but I go on holiday on 23rd with my AF coming on around the 26th didn't know wether to do a FRER test on the 22nd or will it be too early

@sophieb15 no this will b ttc #3 I got son and daughter already then misscarried/ectopic in January so still tryin, but like u say this month AF was only 2 days??? And ovulation stick got a line (albeit it faint) but 2 days after AF I didn’t expect any line at all until at least end of wk??? Ovulation day is 20th??? And if my miscarriage had been a proper pregnancy my due date would of been 21/8/19 so I’m hopin this month is bitter sweet and can conceive then 🤞🤞🤞🤞 xx

@NamiSwan no problem! Have a look at the instructions but they look the same as the ones i use which say not to use FMU. Confusingly some of the more expensive ones say to exclusively use FMU...

It is tiring but will be worth it

Thanks @mumofbun, the bottom one was just before I posted (about 10.45 I think). I didn't know that about FMU 🙈 ok so ovulating tomorrow... and need to get on it DTD tonight then as well! DH will be happy! I'm just tired 😅

@november90 it's awful how it can take over isn't it? I realised this morning that i don't think i haven't thought about it for a day since the start of the year!!

@Sophieb15 if you've already logged dtd you have to

@NamiSwan that bottom one does look the most like a positive so probably tomorrow is OD? I don't think you're meant to use FMU with those tests though as can give false positives - was that one later in the morning?

Hey all, been lurking past few days, kept writing replies then forgetting to send them 🤦...

CD20 here, no idea what is going on with my cycle this month. I usually ov on day 18/19 (though do occasionally have longer cycles) so from day 17 was DTD every day, thinking I would ov soon enough. Haven't had a positive opk (though looked close), then had a temp rise this morning, but then FMU gave what looks like a positive opk! The pic shows day 18 (top 3) 19 (middle 3) and todays (bottom two)... it does look like todays are darker/positive...

So when did I ovulate? Today? Tomorrow? Should me and DH DTD today as well as tomorrow to be on the safe side? I'm a bit knackered from already doing it 3 days in a row, not sure I can manage it 😂 DH is being a real trooper but I can see he's also struggling a bit 🙈

Thanks everyone, I'm only 9dpo so going to wait now to take another test. The test I posted was one of 3 strips and all had vv faint lines at 25miu ( I think ) fingers crossed it my time and same for all you ladies this month 😊 x

I just got a flurry of excitement! I can't wait for the day I get my BFP! It's just going to be amazing. I think ttc is so hard and consuming it's so easy to forget how amazing it's going to be when it does happen! ❤️ Hope everyone is doing well! X

@mrssunshinexxx You are still in your fertile window the two days after just the percentage chance of conception is lower - the egg can survive up to 48 hours.

@Lauralozzle that's good he's showing some more interest - how long have you been trying?

@Sophieb15 yep i'm 1 dpo too! you've been doing so well doing everyday i definitely couldn't manage it! i think you should just keep going with your plan if you can - so you know you've done everything you wanted to do?

@AmIseeingRight that's interesting cos all my apps show the following couple of days after o as fertile too and it says you are when I read online I bloody hope you see cos that's what I'm banking on this month ! D

@Olivebranch26 I think I can see something too but so light might be a smudge 🤷‍♀️. I agree with the others that you should wait a few more days. If you've got a BFP it will be darker in 48 hrs when HCG doubles. Would be wonderful to start seeing BFPs on this thread 😊

@Sophieb15 you have all the days & covered 5 days in a row is a lot lol. But if it gives you better chances then go all in but I read you only have 3 days - 2 days before and day of Ov are high change after that it's just luck.

I'm feeling good about August, I've been speaking positively about this month and telling the universe this is my month for a BFP followed by a healthy baby in May 2020. Speak it into existence lol

@mumofbun the struggle is real. He told me this morning he’s much more tired than normal because of all the sex! But he seemed genuinely interested this cycle, asking if I was a fertile myrtle and how long for.

I don’t know if I can manage again today though! We will see.

@Sophieb15 been tryin since last year, had ectopic in January and retained products so wasn’t clear until the end of feb, started tryin straight after but wit no joy! 😫😫

Oh sorry i'd posted thinking i'd caught up with all the posts but hadn't looked at the last page!!

@Olivebranch26 i can see something in the second picture but it is quite early so would def hold out like others have said before trying again!

@flissity i think if you got your positive Saturday then you will have been predicted to ovulate Sunday so will now be 2 dpo? It can be up to 48 hours after a postive though - my femometer app makes me continue taking opks after the first positive and then when the peak dies down moves the OD to the day after the last peak test

@Lauralozzle i know that struggle! Trying not to be in his face but then asleep before he comes to bed!!

How's everyone doing today? dtd yesterday so that was OD i think, aiming for today and tomorrow as well which would make 5 times this fertile period!

As for what i do after dtd - last night i went to spin so no legs in the air for me haha

Thank you @Olivebranch26 😊 I really hope it turns out to be a clear bfp for you 🤞🏻 x

@ellarosee thankyou I'm so glad I'm not seeing things or that at least we both are 😊 I really hope this is my bfp as it took us 2 years to get DD and i also had ectopic so ive been so anxious about ttc #2
Keeping my fingers crossed for you too, your still 10dpo so there's much hope yet! X

Hi ladies,

I've been following this thread for a while, I'm a bit of a lurker as I'm quite new to all of this and I don't think my input would be much help to anyone 🙈 but just wanted to say I can definitely see a line on your test @Olivebranch26 albeit a very faint one. I didn't want you to think you were seeing things.. unless we're both seeing things 😂

I'm currently 10dpo and experiencing really severe bloating and discomfort and needing to pee a lot! I took a test yesterday which was a bfn so only time will tell what's going on but I have also been to see the docs about it in case it's not pregnancy related and I've got a blood test booked in for Thursday, hoping it's nothing bad! Sending lots of positivity to everyone testing soon 😊

Same test as before, lines gone thin now as it's been a while.
