September bus

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

@GoldLeafTree

Great!! Yes I am ttc #1, age 31 and this is my 3rd cycle. 1st cycle was 30 days after stopping the pill and second was 26 days, so I want to hold out til cd30 to test which will be Friday 13!!

Not been using OPKs etc. Just DTD when possible and hoping for the best!

It's so hard not to symptom spot, I did last month and then AF arrived so I'm trying not to but it's impossible.

Wishing you all the luck Smile

GoldLeafTree · 04/09/2019 19:06

@rosina38 I'll be testing on the 13th too!

I think i'm around 6dpo and i'm symptom spotting like crazy also. I've got lots of cramps and twinges, absolutely exhausted, keep needing a wee and I'm constipated too (sorry tmi) and usually before AF I am the opposite. This could be wishful thinking though.

This is my first time TTC, how about you?

rosina38 · 04/09/2019 18:52

Anyone testing on 13th sept? Need a buddy to help me hold on until then!

I've been symptom spotting galore today... a few cramps, need to wee loads, a couple of shooting pains in my boobs and sensitive nipples, plus had to have a nap after work every day this week.

I have no idea when I ovulated but my prediction is between 5-10DPO

Thanks everyone, really thought it was BFP time so bit of a blow

Coastaldreamer · 04/09/2019 15:21

Sorry to hear of AF @Chaosonthehorizon x

november90 · 04/09/2019 12:32

Guys is anyone talking magnesium supplements? If so where did you get them from?
:)

HopingforfirstBFP · 04/09/2019 12:25

I’m out. AF arrived early :(

Chaosonthehorizon · 04/09/2019 11:59

Yes sadly we couldn’t do 2-3 days all cycle this month 😓

Sunshine8888 · 04/09/2019 11:47

Hi ladies, I’m still here checking in each day to see if anyone else is getting a BFP. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I still stand by just DTD every 2-3 days throughout cycle over SMEP or OPKs. Sending lots of baby dust x

Chaosonthehorizon · 04/09/2019 11:34

Bugger think af has arrived 😓😓 so sad. 24 day cycle which is weird and did SMEP but got proper cramps now (which I never have). Not sure we will carry on

flossy12 · 04/09/2019 08:11

@Chaosonthehorizon hey sweetie yeah! Myself @Coastaldreamer @HopingforfirstBFP are all testing Saturday morning, and there's a couple more I'm sure!

Chaosonthehorizon · 04/09/2019 06:48

Feeling crampy too and never do before af (well used to way back in my early period days but not for years). Also feel sicky but reckon that is general nerves and worries about other stuff as too early to feel like that for me I think. Ah well, one app says af starts today so will know fairly soon I guess. Although flo says she isn’t due until Sunday/Monday!!! Anyone else might be testing Sunday/Monday? Might cave and do weekend and then DH around (if work permits)

lornz · 03/09/2019 21:44

My early symptoms have been lots of mild period type pains/cramps. Boobs have been sore the last few days and some sicky feeling (that could be back to work teacher stress for me though 🤷‍♀️)

Fingers crossed ladies. You have the patience of a saint! So well done 😘

flossy12 · 03/09/2019 17:13

@Coastaldreamer I won't cave don't worry! 😁 taken Friday night off work so that Saturdays test will be as accurate as possible 🤞🏻💪🏻

Coastaldreamer · 03/09/2019 15:52

@flossy12 ahhh don't cave! We got days to go till Saturday!

Not due till 9th but I'm still feeling mildly crampy so I think I'm already out but who knows as they say it can feel like that with pregnancy too.

flossy12 · 03/09/2019 12:56

@Queenofmyownheart sorry to hear that sweetie 😟 hope your feeling better

I'm 8dpo today and nearly caved and POAS but I held out 👏🏼👏🏼 not having many Symptoms today at all but I suppose until AF shows I have to hold out hope 🤞🏻

GloriaMaximus · 03/09/2019 10:30

Doesn't .. obviously!

GloriaMaximus · 03/09/2019 10:30

I tested this morning BFN. My cycles are crazy since my coil removal so I have no clue what's going on and we haven't DTD half as much as we should either. I'm going to test again next Tuesday if AF does show 🤷🏻‍♀️

november90 · 03/09/2019 07:56

@Queenofmyownheart oh I'm so sorry, I feel so insensitive rambling on when you just posted that, I didn't catch up before I posted! What a awful time for you, wishing you lots of love and happiness when you're ready for it xxx

Coastaldreamer · 03/09/2019 07:35

@Queenofmyownheart sorry to hear that hun :( hope you're doing ok x

november90 · 03/09/2019 07:05

Hi everyone! I'm considering taking soy isoflavones next month as my cycles are so long and I'm really not convinced that I'm ovulating. Apparently it's really good to help bring ovulation forward and improve the quality of the egg that's being released! I have suspected PCOS (never had a diagnosis but i have been told i have cysts on my ovaries, I have some darker facial hair(which I bleach thank god!!) and my cycles are horrendous... ranging from 36-42 days :(! ). Has anyone ever heard of these/ tried them?
I'm also gonna add some primrose oil tablets into the mix as I've read some good things about them too :)

wannabemum38 · 02/09/2019 23:02

@queenofmyownheart wow thats a real crappy time bless you. Hope you are okay x

LisaxMarie · 02/09/2019 22:40

On cycle 1 after ectopic surgery at 5+4 in July. Currently 10 dpo and symptom spotting like a crazy person. Trying so hard to be patient x baby dust to everyone x

flossy12 · 02/09/2019 21:56

@HopingforfirstBFP gosh I hope we all have our good news coming our way 🥰

flossy12 · 02/09/2019 21:55

@Coastaldreamer hopefully 🤞🏻😂
