Hey, so was a little flakey on August bus because this is so hard, but I like the support and folk with bfps give me hope.

Anyway, I am on cycle is seven now, period due first or second September. But will probably poas end of Aug because I turn into a sucker for punishment the week before.

How are you all doing? Will be happy and sorry to see familiar names back.

I also will disappear for days at a time, which doesn't mean I'm ignoring folk, but finding it too intense.

Love and luck

Would love to hear about this month's lovely distractions

Think I’ll try to hold out until after AF is due on 31 August/1 September ... as much as the wait kills me

Raizelrea · 23/08/2019 17:03

@Lu1u Planning to test on 31 August (which will be pointless as I'll be only 8 DPO at most) and 5/6 September - both dictated by weddings we're going to! Just a week to test for you the exciting, fingers crossed!

PostieGal · 23/08/2019 16:26

@Lu1u thanks and to you too! I think AF is due 5th sept for me, but I'm probably gonna test next Friday lunchtime (30th), early I know, but it's only because me & my BF have doctors appointments in the afternoon, a standard welcome/heathcheck thing because we've just changed to a new surgery. They've told us they'll do urine tests during the appointment so I'd hate to find out in the appointment without him being there! I'd feel so mean because he's just as excited about this whole thing as I am! 😍

Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for the bank holiday weekend!

When are people planning on taking a pregnancy test? Flo thinks my period is due Friday 30th August so think I will be testing before September now. Trying not to cave too soon to avoid disappointment but ARGHHH not feeling hopeful about this cycle at all 😣

Update. Now it actually looks darker?

Coastaldreamer · 23/08/2019 11:09

Weird. My yesterday's opk looks darker than today but that's also dried :/

Still looks quite faint, I was going to start doing two from today but I'm not sure if it's worth it yet? Help! X

Hi everyone 😊
Jumping on the bus!
TTC #2
Cycle 1
CD 14
AF 8th sept

Scared about trying for a second!

Each2TheirOwn · 23/08/2019 10:30

@Tamalama sorry for your loss! Fingers crossed you get your BFP 🤞🏼 x

Tamalama · 23/08/2019 10:19

I had a mc in January and baby would have been born next month so I'm praying even more that i fall pregnant next month.

Tamalama · 23/08/2019 10:17

Morning everyone, hopping on from the August bus. TTC #2 and on cycle #6 😕
Af has now finished and I'm due to ovulate next Friday... I started using opks properly last month and used the clearblue one and got a definite static smiley, ov pains and ewcm so I did think last month was going to be my month 😕 praying it happens this coming month...

sao81 · 23/08/2019 08:47

@gloriamaximus noo I've never tried that. I'm usually every 28 days spot on but this month for some reason was 31 days. Had alot of stress with family so thinking maybe that caused it

november90 · 23/08/2019 08:31

@Sunshine8888 yes that sounds like ovulation to me! My pains weren't sharp so much, more like a dull sickly ache. It really wasn't intense but it was enough for me to feel a bit... urgh! If that makes sense!

Sunshine8888 · 23/08/2019 08:10

@november90 yep this cycle I had sharp pains, felt a bit sick, EWCM and really sore boobs so I knew something was going on! I’ve never experienced all that before but figured that must have been ovulation symptoms 🤷🏽‍♀️

Each2TheirOwn · 23/08/2019 08:09

Morning All,

I'm just jumping in the bus! TTC #1 for a while but this is our first month SMEPing. Currently CD13 (first day of fertile window) so feeling excited and impatient. BFP/AF due around 12th Sept so still a while to go 🙈 looking forward to seeing all your BFPs 🤞🏼

GloriaMaximus · 23/08/2019 08:01

I hope everyone got what they needed last night 😌

I think for some women it's so hard to get a positive OPK unless they're peeing on it every hour @sao81 Have you tried BBT? I guess if you're perfectly regular you will be ovulating when the app says. My fingers are firmly crossed for you!!!!!!🤞🏼

november90 · 23/08/2019 07:22

@MsMiaWallace I'm a day or two behind you! I think I'll get my peak surge on the opk today or perhaps it happened over night! 😬😬😬
Let's hope these couple of weeks fly by!

So guys as said above I may have had the peak over night or perhaps today but during the night when I was up with my son I had dullish/slightly bloated feeling low tummy/hip area. It was almost a sickly ache if that makes sense! Has anyone felt this before?

sao81 · 23/08/2019 07:06

@CarolineKate Hi, yes I have and didnt get a positive at all last month but had all the signs ewcm, cramps etc so just went off my flo app and that

MsMiaWallace · 23/08/2019 07:03

Hi all,
Can I join you guys? I'm on day 1 of TWW. Confused

flossy12 · 22/08/2019 23:53

@MrsMeow2019 my OH has been in a similar mood today, it got to me so I told him not to bother and I came to work with no DTD 🙄 now annoyed at myself ha

flossy12 · 22/08/2019 23:52

@GloriaMaximus ha! Can never be too prepared 😉🤪 OH has annoyed me tonight and so we haven't DTD 🙄 really annoys me as we were doing so well with our SMEP I just thank god my OPKs aren't positive yet

CarolineKate · 22/08/2019 21:51

Welcome @sao81 ☺️. Have you been using strip opks before this? X

MrsMeow2019 · 22/08/2019 21:47

@GloriaMaximus my apps are hidden at the back of another folder haha! Good to know we're all as mad as each other

LOL baby catching mission being attempted but DH is 'tired' HmmHmm

GloriaMaximus · 22/08/2019 21:43

@MrsMeow2019 GO CATCH THOSE BABIES

GloriaMaximus · 22/08/2019 21:43

Thank you @Blossomingflower94 that's really reassuring. I was scared it would be 5:6/7 or something 🙈

@flossy12 is also have glow, Ovia and flow ... although they're hidden in random folders 😂😂

Blossomingflower94 · 22/08/2019 21:27

My peak on Premom was 0.6. Just listen to your body. I'm really well hydrated so won't ever get a 1.0.
