Toot toot! The September bus is early...

Can I please join? Onto cycle 3 for me. Cycle day 1, going to actually take my temps and use OPK's this month. Naively I thought I would catch straight away as I did with my son who is 4. 32 now so maybe age has made a difference. Wishing you all luck! Xx

@MissM94 it is so strange how our minds work isn’t it! Well fingers crossed for you, hope you see a BFP next week

Af didn't show up yesterday, not even a sign of it today. Test is bfn again this morning with frer, my hopes were really high as I never ever had late period. 😔 really feeling down today, talked with the clinic and we are going with the 3rd iui...come on aunt flow, where are you?

@RKEE I 100% feel you! November 19 until august I was just pulling out, wasn't due to start trying until august but wouldn't of been bothered if it happened unplanned, but it never did so now we're on our first cycle of actively trying I'm absolutely desperate but we just need to try and not get in our heads about it ☺️ I'm currently 7DPO and I'm teasing myself about being someone that does it once and it works but I don't think that's for me as I'm fully telling myself I'm being stupid for even thinking I'm going to get pregnant anytime soon 😂

Came off the mini pill mid-May and since then cycles have been 29 days. Am now on day 31 and no sign of period yet, although it does feel like it's on its way. Negative test this morning.

Feel like I don't know whether I'm coming or going, I wasn't expecting it to be like this. Am starting to worry it's not going to happen for me now, although logically I know only 3 full months off the pill is still early days.

@Capricorn8990 I know what you mean! Sometimes I wonder how the population keeps going when you read how specific the timing has to be to conceive!!! It really is such a rollercoaster of emotions. I've started acupuncture this month as my last try before we go down fertility tests and probably ivf eventually. It's good that your getting some help with processing your thoughts and working through things, I think it's really helpful to have someone there to support you with this. Sending hugs x

Thanks for all the lovely messages - can wait to see more BFP here. 14DPO and I feel like the line is darker so very relieved this morning.

@Emily199034 yay! Congrats!! That's amazing!! Hopefully this thread continues to be a lucky one!!

Hello everyone!

Having been lurking around for sometime but not posting I thought I would jump on the September bus if that is okay ha!

Congratulations on all the BFPs, so nice to see.

I am on cycle 3 TTC after MMC in June. But my partner had Covid for one of the cycles so we will call this cycle 2.

I wasn’t actively TTC when I had my MMC but now I want a baby so bad it is crazy. Anyone else find themselves in the same situation? Not preventing but not actively TTC and then wanting it more than anything after MC?

Currently in CD2 so just waiting for AF to leave now.

Good luck to everyone and let’s hope this is our month

@purpleskyssssss @Bundaberg84

Thank you xx

Wow, congratulations @Emily199034!! What a great thread :) So many BFPs already.
I'm 1dpo now. Let the games begin.

@Emily199034 aww amazing and what wonderful lines for 10DPO!

Congratulations xx

@purpleskyssssss

Yes I did! Still in shock and can't quite believe it yet. Took these yesterday when I was 10dpo. Doesn't seem real yet.

Congrtulations @WantStickyBean that's fantastic news! I have ordered some pre seed this month did you have any different to normal symptoms this month? Ans congratulations @AllyCat31

@Emily199034 did you re test this morning I can defiantly see a line there, fingers crossed for you

Not even September yet and already a lucky thread, let's hope the luck continues for us all 😃

@Coco9910 thank you for your lovely comment. I just want my period to arrive now so that I can have a fresh cycle. I'm not on cycle day 33 and my longest cycle was 35 days when I came off the pill, otherwise they've been 28-31 😔 lots of love and baby dust to you too ✨ I hope you're well!

@hoola23
It does indeed. I'm sorry you've had such stress too. I really think education in schools needs to be updated as they don't talk enough about the emotional struggles of trying for a baby but teach you that if you have sex without protection you're gonna get pregnant!! I know when you're in your teens you're very fertile but it's really misconstrued. I've been having counselling for OCD so I've discussed this too as I become very obsessed. It's hard not to I guess. Thank you so much 💕 I hope you're doing okay!

@mummytoolive thank you hun. I was but when I was on the phone to her she double backed and said she wasn't sure if it was okay to take when trying to conceive so it put me of a little! I've got an appointment with the specialist endometriosis nurse on 7th September I'm just hoping my trainer will allow me to go. It's early in the morning so I don't see why not. Yep I must be positive with that result. She did say I had a ruptured follicle which is apparently normal when the egg releases, who knew? How're you? 💗

@WantStickyBean Congratulations! So happy for you and hopefully see more BFPs! I'm going to try hold out until Friday 10DPO.

@Capricorn8990 sending you lots of love and hugs.
I take naproxen for my endometriosis pains have you been prescribed anything tried anything for it?
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way you really have had an awful month it's no wonder you feel how you do. The scan you had was positive regarding your ovaries etc so take that as something positive to go into your next cycle with 😘😘

@ashlove17 have you had any thing different this month. Both months i had my Covid jab I've had very strange light spotting. One on the lead up to af and the other around a week before ovulation

I’ve been spotting on and off (only when I wipe none on pads or in underwear) since Wednesday just gone and AF was due today but no sign of it at all. Tested this morning with a CB early detection and 2 FRER Friday and Saturday and all have been negative. Not sure what’s going on ☹️

@Conundrum12345 good luck! Let me know how you get on! I’m going to test Saturday I think! x

@Capricorn8990 I'm so sorry hun, it really does take over everything doesn't it. I do feel the same, we have had so much stress basically since we married and actually before. I really didn't think we would still be here nearly a year later still TTC. It is hard to find the strength some time to keep going but I do think it's important to take a break. I did that over March and April and I do think it helped. It's ok to feel sorry for yourself! It's so important to make time for yourself during all of this, it can be so overly emotional and stressful. I hope you have good people around you to turn to. Sending you a massive hug! Xx

[quote Coco9910]@Conundrum12345 ahh they sound like positive signs! Fingers crossed for you! When are you planning to test or are you going to wait for AF to (hopefully not) arrive? x[/quote]
Gonna test on Thursday! And then Saturday. Fingers crossed!!!
