Grab your seats on the September bus (though I know there are a few of us still testing in August).

Absolutely everyone welcome - I'll attempt a list of tags for "reserved seats" but am guaranteed to have missed quite a few:

@BH1926 yeah I usually find I’m ok the first week, because I don’t expect any symptoms then, but week 2 of the tww it’s so hard not to read into everything! I wait until AF due now before poas. Can’t bear any more heartbreak ❤️‍🩹
How long have you been ttc? Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

MrsBiddy · 11/09/2021 10:57

Congrats @Sarah239

Wish I had started tracking my bbt earlier 😑 OvuSense hasn’t confirmed ovulation yet and I’m at CD23 😓
Tracking on fertility Friend aswell as ovia, flow and glow 😂
Might start doing opks aswell, can anyone recommend any good ones in the UK? Xxx

Missy95 · 11/09/2021 10:25

Morning ladies. I am either 2dpo or 7dpo (due to spotting a week before af due, im not sure which day to count). Its going to be a lonnnnngggg TWW 🤣

Sarah239 · 11/09/2021 10:20

Thank you so much for your well wishes everyone. My thoughts are with everyone who has been disappointed this month, sending you all massive hugs. I don't think it will sink in for a while, I still don't believe it's real.

xx

BH1926 · 11/09/2021 10:17

@Lealu I'm in the tww - 8dpo trying hard not to think too much about it and holding off testing until missed period (if I can 🙈) I was symptom spotting so bad last month so gonna try not to this next week 🤪

YummyMummyXoX · 11/09/2021 10:17

Congratulations @Sarah239 such wonderful news. Have a fab weekend! X

BH1926 · 11/09/2021 10:10

Congratulations @Sarah239 Amazing news!!

GingerbreadTM · 11/09/2021 10:06

Massive congratulations to you all that have got BFP 💞💫

I'm out this month I think 🥺
Tested this morning and a BFN, due AF on Thursday so we'll see then.

Everyone else still waiting to test I've everything crossed for you all 🤞🏼🤞🏼xx

Missy95 · 11/09/2021 10:01

Congratulations @Sarah239 amazing news 💞

LadyoftheWoods · 11/09/2021 09:52

@Sarah239 aw congratulations!!! Amazing!! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 💞

@storkstalk Ovulation is a bit confusing for me too this month. I had a peak test 3 days ago, cd12, but my temp hasn't risen. So either my temp is off or I didn't actually ovulate. I'm just carrying on testing every day and dtd as much as possible just in case!

RKEE · 11/09/2021 09:49

Congratulations @Sarah239 that’s amazing!

Lealu · 11/09/2021 09:27

I’m in the tww, now 7 dpo. And AF due 17/18th, so I’m gonna see if AF arrives this week, and if not I’ll test on Sat 18th (14dpo). So far feeling fairly chilled because it’s too early for symptoms. Gonna look out for any Implantation bleeding in next couple days (had it 9dpo last time), and from then onwards it’s open season on driving myself crazy symptom spotting! 🤣
Anyone else in the tww? ✨

Lealu · 11/09/2021 09:18

@Sarah239 congratulations 🎉 after such a long time and thinking that you have to go through ivf this must be absolutely incredible. Enjoy your weekend!! 😃

hoola23 · 11/09/2021 09:13

@Sarah239 omg!! That's amazing!!! What great lines too! You must be over the moon after such a long journey! Congratulations hun! X

Sarah239 · 11/09/2021 09:11

Also.... good luck to everyone else on the September bus and I so so hope for good news for you all. Sorry, I am in complete shock.

If you've been trying for a long time, like me.... maybe, just maybe, miracles can happen...?!?!

Sarah239 · 11/09/2021 09:10

Hi everyone. I haven't been here much ever, but my husband and I have been going through infertility for 2 years 3 months.

I HAD BOOKED MY FIRST IVF APPOINTMENT LAST WEEK.

I have never had a positive pregnancy test before. My period was due yesterday/today, and I thought, rather than thinking 'what if' the whole weekend and driving myself crazy, I would just take one this morning.

The line came up straight away, I started freaking out and immediately dipped the FRER too.

I can NOT believe it. It's hard to trust it. I'm just praying it's real and that this sticks!

What do I do now?!?! I'm scared even to turn on "pregnancy mode" on my tracking apps, just don't want to tempt fate!

Toot toot! The September bus is early...
jazmine38 · 10/09/2021 23:53

Hi ladies, can I join? Just got over a chemical pregnancy..this will be a long month.

Taurus683 · 10/09/2021 21:11

Congrats on everyone's BFP's. It's great to see so many! 🌟 I am 14 days PO and due my AF today but no sign yet 🤞 This has happened before though and it's come a day or two late.. I tested Monday and got a BFN. I am going to hold off until tomorrow and test. @YummyMummyXoX thanks for that message, it's given me hope!

YummyMummyXoX · 10/09/2021 19:14

@JK739

Congratulations everybody! So happy for you all 🥰🥰

I think I'm a day late now but I'm only off birth control a couple of months so my cycle is probably still irregular...no symptoms but I still did an early detection test and got a resounding no though so pretty confident I'm out again this month 😐😔. Onto cycle 3 for me!

Baby dust to everyone still waiting to see, sending lots of good luck vibes your way! Xx

If it helps your or anyone I tested a week ago bfn Tuesday had digi + and today I got + 2-3 so anything is possible keeping my fingers crossed for everyone and their bfps xxx

Cycle #2 TTC, CD 15 but I don’t know if I’ve ovulated. Have done CB OPK every morning for 5 days and keeps saying negative. Just in case we DTD on CDs 9, 10, 12, 14 and will again today and tomorrow. Anyone else struggled to catch ovulation?

Cherryblossom21 · 10/09/2021 14:14

I just wanted to pop on and wish congratulations to all the BFPs on here, it’s so lovely to see! I was on the bus for a bit and got my BFP at the end of August, but I have still been keeping an eye on this as I love to see the BFPs. Lots of baby dust to you all 💗

Emz861 · 09/09/2021 15:22

@Lucylulu1 thanks and yeah fingers crossed! I'm new to all this too and I guess can't really say I've done a proper cycle yet due to the issues so I'll count this as cycle 1 of properly trying and using OPKs. This will be first baby and we're SO ready for it too...been talking about it for about a year (getting jobs and a house sorted in the meantime) and haven't been using any protection for 18 months so already feels like I've been waiting forever! I know there are many ladies on here who have been trying for a while though and totally get how stressful it can be ❤️ This seems a very lucky thread so hopefully we'll all be getting our BFPs and bellies full of babies soon!!

Lucylulu1 · 09/09/2021 15:05

@Emz861 I heard a lot of women have had their cycles messed up by the vaccine. I was lucky and it didn't do anything to mine. But I can understand your frustration of wanting a normal cycle again. Let's hope next month is our successful one! I am on TTC cycle #3 now. Not as long as some of the other lovely ladies on here, but it's such a stressful time and I'm soooo ready. 🤞🤞

Indianna2006 · 09/09/2021 14:38

AF arrived for me yesterday 👎

So onto cycle 5 of ttc #2 for me. 2DPO today..boring.

Loving all the BFPs this month. Love looking at pregnant tests 😅
