End of August bus

@tamalama I hope af doesn't show for you 🤞

@Sophieb15 Aw im sorry for your sister it's awful. I wish I kept them but I was obsessing over them so in the bin they went. I don't think I'm out the woods yet until af doesn't show or I get a dark bfp but I am starting to think that my hcg could just rising slowly. Hope everything's okay as with my DD they got strong quick.

@Sophieb15 Af was due yesterday, but I have af cramps today so I reckon it's on its way 😕 not bothered testing this morning. If she doesn't arrive today I may take one tomorrow morning. I'm 13dpo today. How are things with you? X

@Sophieb15 yes af due tomorrow you?Tests I'm using are 25miu, I had frer in the beginning and got a positive at 8dpo but not 9dpo so I'm too paranoid to use them. Trying to stick to the same tests so I can compare. Should really only be testing every 2 days not twice a day! But can't help myself 🙈

@mrssunshinexxx af due tomorrow I've felt like it's coming every day since 8dpo so I can't tell if I have symptoms. I can't believe I have a line and I'm too anxious to accept it!

@cat028 at first I really thought it was a chemical as I got a positive 8dpo and then it went away and only very slowly came back. What was your experience with a chem if you don't mind me asking? Tbh when I first though I was going to have a chemical I thought well at least it didn't implant in the wrong place this time and now im so paranoid thats all i can think lol. Hopefully this is a good sign and pregnancy hormones are making me crazy 😂

Me and dh DTD like crazy this month and i think it worked for us. Also I used to have long cycles and still ovulated so I'm sure you most likely will if you haven't already. Opk arnt always accurate.

Hi @Sophieb15 I'm 8dpo still v thirsty and boobs achy trying not to get too hung up on it because of reasons previously mentioned but it would be the best thing ever if it did happen. Can't help but think this time next week af likely to be here and I'll be emotional as hell 😫 how are you? When is af due ? X

@Olivebranch26 I can totally understand why you are feeling anxious. If I'd been through an eptopic I'm sure I'd be the same. I feel so anxious testing/waiting after my chemical.

Yes, we have been DTD daily just to be sure. Only been testing in the morning so maybe I need to do them in the evening too. I had cramps on CD 15 at night I put it down to spicy food but maybe I O'd and just didn't test until the morning. I'm going to keep testing just in case it's late.

@Olivebranch26 I would be happy with that line before and was due you don't see many really really strong ones before af is due. When is your period due ? Xx

@Cat028 I will test again later in the day and see what it is. My hubby wants me to wait before going to doctors till I've missed my period as he thinks I'm paranoid ( which I am ) if I hadn't had ectopic before I don't think I would be this anxious.

Have you been DTD? I wouldn't count yourself out for o, I ovulated cd19 this month so it could be a little later than you think this time. Have you been using opk morning and evening?

Hi ladies. AF due today, normally I wake up and it’s there but no sign of it, no cramps either. Boobs still very sore but I had a bfn with cheap test using FMU. Don’t really know what’s going on. Going to buy first response today and test tomorrow if it does not arrive.

@flissity that a nice age gap. Very exciting!!

@Olivebranch26 I know it's still faint but it is still there. Keeping everything crossed for you. Did you say you were hoping to get bloods done today?

@NamiSwan Totally stressing here too about how long it's taking. Much easier said than done when people tell you to relax about it.

CD 17 of my cycle and still no positive OPK could I have missed it?
I am usually a very regular 27/28 day cycle. Could I still O after this to get the same length cycle?

@Cat028 my girls are 7 and 10

@Olivebranch26 I don't know what to say or suggest? Perhaps it's just sill such early days?

Confusing times 😐

Thankyou, it's so confusing as I've been testing for days and test always seems faint, yesterday was the strongest line and I took it around 5pm. I wonder if maybe fmu doesn't work so good for me, or maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

@Olivebranch26 sorry cross posted as it took me so long to write my post this morning. Sorry to hear it doesn't look darker. You're not out till AF shows her ugly head though so keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@Olivebranch26 keeping my fingers crossed for you the line gets darker today. Stay positive!

@flissity we are also TTC #3 and my DH is so broody, more than me! I always wanted 3 (and so did he) but took a while to convince me now was the time to start trying. He's wanted us to TTC for about 8 months... But now we've started TTC I'm getting stressed about it but he's totally blasé about it being cycle 3, just says it will happen when it happens. Think he's just glad he convinced me to go through pregnancy again 😂

3DPO and finally got my proper temp spike today - yesterday was a bit higher than usual and then today was a proper spike, so I did ovulate which is a relief. I've read that sometimes it can take longer for temp to spike and this can mean slow rising progesterone so I'm a tad worried about that as can mean struggles to implant but trying not to see problems everywhere. I have a tendency to do that and think its so I don't get my hopes up!

Morning ladies ( sorry it's so early 😴 ) so took another test and unfortunately it's no darker with fmu.

@Olivebranch26 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@flissity I really hope you can give him some good news soon 🤞

I'll post the test tomorrow, thanks everyone for keeping me positive OH is convinced it will be darker but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet.

@flissity how old are your girls? It is an exciting time. Hope this month is lucky for you both.

These poor men and what they put up with!! Dh is so broody though so doesn't mind.
I have to remember it's all very very new to him, not so for me. But it feels like starting over again for me!! I've gained some independence once the girls went to school and now going back to square one!! So exciting though, and I expect I will have more patience 😬😬 I desperately want to make him a daddy 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
