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 🙈)

Engagement ring (top) is yesterday FMU

Wedding ring (bottom) is today FMU

Still have to squint to see them though.

Sorry i've been AWOL! After AF i just forgot about ttc for a bit especially as we were away for the weekend. I had a look and CD 10 (Monday) was the day we were coming back so figured that was perfect timing for jumping back on the bus! Have been temping and doing OPKs since then. Was planning to try SMEP this cycle but missed the first couple of days we were meant to dtd (CD 8 and CD10), i think i ovulate a bit later than average (CD16) though going by last cycle so hopefully starting CD12 will still be ok!

Today is CD14 for me, temp is still declining but i have quite bad ovulation pains. Yesterday i had some EWCM, not done an opk yet today...so confused!

@NamiSwan Hi welcome to this bus! I'm sorry you find the start of the cycle stressful - i'm usually quite calm then and it's now, around the middle i start to stress! I would stick with the temping - it seemed a bit of a faff to me at first but then i felt like it really worked and lined up so well with the opks that i don't have to be as fanatical about them!

@Lauralozzle I find my opks sometimes go a bit lighter during the days up to my ovulation and then when ovulation hits they are super dark and the differences between the first ones don't look so apparent!

@Absa def look positive opks to me!

@mrssunshinexxx i think i get the ewcm just before and just after ovulation the same as @Sophieb15

mrssunshinexxx · 09/08/2019 09:39

@Sophieb15 I think ithat would defo cover you

No haven't noticed but been rushing around my nipped are really tender tmi

@lornz ooh have you a pic that sounds like good news !

lornz · 09/08/2019 09:25

We're on day two of faint BFP ShockShockShock AF was due yesterday but I ovulate late in my cycle so I'm around 9 days post ovulation (I think)

@mrssunshinexxx Now I have the option to BD CD 13-CD17 5 days in a row is a bit much so I think I might just do CD13,15,16,17. Surely thats enough.

Have you EWCM and any pains today? x

@mrssunshinexxx hopefully that's a good sign I normally O after I get EWCM and I've had twinges in my ovaries all day yesterday but my EWCM hasn't come in full force yet so I know I haven't O'd yet. Is it still there this morning? I get it for the day after I O too but it's only there if I check and maybe a few times when I wipe 🙈

My OH gave me the best news yesterday his shift is different next week so he's off Mon and Tue(Cd16and 17)

flossy12 · 09/08/2019 00:11

@mrssunshinexxx is it like egg whites?

@mrssunshinexxx I had a shed load of discharge but that was before I got my positive opk, then dried up, then a few hours after I got my positive opk I had more discharge and that's when I had the ovary and back twinges. So yep, may well be ovulation. Jump on your DH as soon as he gets home tomorrow!! X

flossy12 · 08/08/2019 21:57

@sao81 she is a bitch 🙃🙃 ah well, nothing I can do now just have to try harder this month x

sao81 · 08/08/2019 21:38

@flossy12 aah sorry to here that, AF is a b**ch wish she'd stay away for us all! Hope september is your month🤞

flossy12 · 08/08/2019 20:01

Going to do OPKs twice a day from the end of AF 😅 and DTD every other day if we can and the 3 days around ovulation I think x

mrssunshinexxx · 08/08/2019 19:51

Oh @flossy12

I'm so sorry it's awful I feel like we are all really rooting for eachother ! Do you have any plans for anything different next month ? X

flossy12 · 08/08/2019 19:32

@mrssunshinexxx well AF is here in full force now so I'm definitely out 😖😭

mrssunshinexxx · 08/08/2019 18:55

@Sophieb15 TMI but a lot of discharge all afternoon and still now is this a sign I could be ovulating today

thirteen92 · 08/08/2019 18:53

@Absa

I got a positive yesterday and today with clearblue ovulation. We DTD CD 15, 17 & 19. Got my positive on CD 18 & 19! Fingers crossed.

Absa · 08/08/2019 18:50

Thanks @thirteen92 .
It was negative this morning so hopefully it's just occurred... DTD 3 days ago but then have been away for work so will try to get home tonight and / or tomorrow :) Let the 2WW begin!

thirteen92 · 08/08/2019 18:46

@Absa I would say so yes! It's so weird, I've had all negatives on the easy@home sticks but positive on the clearblue digital!

Absa · 08/08/2019 18:38

Would you say this is a positive OPK test? It says the test line (one furthest from the green) should be a stronger line than the control test. But I think this is good enough?? Had a wee 2 hours ago and then tested just now when got home.

End of August bus
thirteen92 · 08/08/2019 18:36

I'm starting the TWW tomorrow! Will be testing 21st August

Lauralozzle · 08/08/2019 18:32

@NamiSwan welcome

@november90 that poem is lovely

Its nearly Friday - thank goodness- work is manic at the moment, but at least it keeps my mind off things at the moment

My opks look like they’re getting lighter! Definitely not ovulated yet but it’s kinda bizarre!

flossy12 · 08/08/2019 15:49

@mrssunshinexxx I'm going to try! 😅 getting in the shower and a couple paracetamol, OHs Birthday today as well not the best present for me to give 😖
