End of August bus

@kenhomsbestwok yes, that's what I always thought! I don't know why this brand is saying not to do that... 🤔 cracking name by the way 😂

I normally do first urine of the day

I'm very confused regarding opks. I did one when I got home and it was negative, which is fine. I got the accu news ones (cheapies from Home Bargains because I can't afford clearblue this month ☹️) and the leaflet says not to use fmu as it can provide a false positive?! Just wondering what time of the day you ladies test? I did mine this evening when I got home from work...

@Sophieb15 I know, PMS is bloody terrible.

Maybe you’re right, the month where there are no symptoms could be the month it happens!

Feeling horrible today, but I’m trying to eek out the pain killers cause CD2 is usually the worst by far! So I’m contenting myself with Poldark 😊 and chocolate whilst DH makes my dinner.

Hi ladies

TTC No 2
Cycle 1
CD 25
AF due 1 August so will start TTC after that
Hoping for a BFP towards end of month
Age 40 (almost 41)

Hi can I join too please :)

TTC#4
Cycle #1
CD - no idea. No period since stopping pill 32 days ago. No BFP either so waiting on AF which I'm hoping arrives ASAP!
Age 37 (38 in 2 weeks)

Not temping or anything yet. Just hoping for AF so I can track things properly. :)

Good luck everyone x

@Sophieb15 I think this month I’ll try to actually make sure we BD three straight says following positive opk.

Will also make sure I’m more consistent with temping. I’ve got the hang of it now.

@november90 sorry you’re feeling down. TTC is exhausting mentally- it’s the lack of control I think. I’m trying to keep my mind off it, to be honest, it’s harder than anything because temping and using opks etc doesn’t exactly take my mind of TTC.

I know not to trust my trolling body though. I had a glint if hope last cycle, but with my PMS (which is horrible) I know not to trust anything as a potential pregnancy sign. Sore boobs, cramps, nausea are all PMS symptoms for me.

@mrssunshinexxx thank you, that's so kind of you! It's so easy to feel alone and pressured isn't it? But it's also so lovely to have you ladies to chat to on here! I think I'm just feeling a bit anxious which doesn't help! But yes a healthy mental and physical month is just what I need :)

Can i join too ladies? I think AF due 22nd august but i can be irregular! Not doing any temping or OPKs at the moment as was trying not to put too much pressure on! Not sure if that is actually working

@Sophieb15 waiting for AF this month should be around 7th August, then going to DTD ever other day until suspected AF/BFP and see where that gets us, seem to always start off well then have a good few days where we're just so busy we don't have time but needs must

Who said romance was dead 😂😅

Sorry that you are feeling low @november90 the thing is it IS really hard ttc and that is a fact ppl say it should be fun and to relax etc but they can fuck off excise my french! It is stressful when all you want is a baby with the person you love, be kind to yourself hat healthy, go on long walks on an evening if you can , take a bath listening to fave music.
My sister is expecting but I am no contact so it's differenr situation but we constantly have people asking are we trying. X

Tempted to join but worried a bit early!!

Will be TTC number 1 in August , AF due 12th August so similar to @lornz !

Very excited and nervous !

Good luck to all you ladies :-)

Urgh feeling really down today. How does everyone keep their minds off it? I think because my sisters just announced her pregnancy everyone's talking about it and it's just a constant reminder. Can't seem to get out of this slump! Plus my cycles are so long AF not due to 3rd sept and that's only if it isn't delayed again!! Ovulation may not be for around another 3 weeks :(
Gonna try and have a really healthy month. Last month I was a bit naughty and put about 5 pounds of (my bmi is normal and no where near overweight) but can't help but wonder if this caused a delay! I have suspected pcos.

Officially on the bus

Temp drop this morning, spotting started, AF cramps in full force. Today will be CD1 because I imagine full flow will start this afternoon.

Stats:

TTC #1
Cycle # 3
CD #1
Age: 31
AF or BFP: 27/08/19

Yes @Tamalama get peeing don't want you to miss it !! Xx

@Tamalama I would start using OPKs now anyways - i think most people start around 4/5 days before ovulation is predicted. I found last month that the twinges i got were a few days before ovulation anyway so it's good to check :)

Morning everyone! So, I'm due to ovulate on 2nd august but I've got ovary twinges already?! Time to get the opks out!

I've always tracked my periods since getting pregnant with my first baby - I use to put it in my phone calendar then I learned there was a app for that!! I'm using: Premom (takes photos of ovulation tests and keeps them/tells you rough levels) and period calculator - for symptoms and sex etc. As I prefer the format of that app.

Thanks. I'm super excited.

My stats
TTC no 2
Cycle 1 (almost- we missed trying this cycle)
CD 19
AF due 8th August (BFP - 5th September)
Age 27

@Yougottabekittenme welcome x
I have been using apps for the past 4 months and my ovulation date has been wrong each time so this month I have bought clear blue ovulation tests by recommendation and re ally excited to see when I'm actually ovulating. X

Hi all, I’ll jump on board for some support!
TTC (trying to conceive) no. 1
Cycle 4
CD (cycle day) 14
AF/BFP (big fat positive) 20th August
Age 30
So after a long 35 day cycle we’re back
I am using two apps the track my cycles and they are saying I am due to ovulate in a week, would it be a terrible idea to TTC every day till then? Or should we stick with every second day? I’ve read a few reports where sperm can get less mobile if we TTC too much but others saying that isn’t true! Like all of you we are desperate to have it happen this cycle and don’t want to miss any opportunity 🤞

My stats

TTC 1st
Cycle 6
AF/BFP22nd August
Age 24, 25 on the 25th August so hopefully I get a BFP!!
