The August BFP bus PART 2! All aboard the glorious magical mystery bus!

[gillywillywoo]

The old bus ran out of fuel so please board this replacement service!

Congrats mummabear! And sorry to those af got

Tiredness is extreme the past 3 days.. I told myself I wouldn't symptom spot how soon would symptoms start? I'm (I think) 7-8 dpo (only going on ewcm days being last weekend)

Armylovin you're the same as me 7-8 DPO. I'm gonna try and not test until the weekend. Might even hold off longer if I can

What's the earliest that someone can test?

Hi all big congrats to the bfp and sorry to those who af has arrived for. Today is cycle day 28 for me and 12 days after ov. No sign of af, had headaches, been v tired and emotional. I have a superdrug test ready but, and I know this probably sounds daft but, part of me is too scared to test for the fear of disappointment if bfn. Anyone else felt like this??

I'm starting to feel like that..
First few cycles i would test early and keep testing until AF arrived. Now I think I'd rather just keep my fingers crossed and wait til I'm late!

Oh god, I'm on cycle one and I totally feel like that! Got positive opk today and I already want to leave things as late as possible because I've convinced myself I'll be pg but I know how silly that is and don't want the disappointment.

However,I'm a teacher and back at work on Sep 2nd and really wanna test before then so I'm not at work mulling it over all the time.

Emjay I feel like that every month, and even more so now that I know I'm not ovulating 90% of the time. I've got my hopes up this month though as I had lots of ewcm.. Gilly I don't even want to test at all until my fertility appointment next week as I'm sure I'll have scans ect so it will show on there maybe..

Hehe army that would be awesome!

I tested early on first cycle and got bfn and even though I promised myself I wouldn't do I was so upset and disappointed by it. Kinda of thought I'd feel something if I was pregnant and as I've said I've had headaches, been v tired but I've been working long days and I work in a nursery so its hard work so they don't necessarily point to me being pg. My boyf is convinced my boobs have got bigger though! Part of me is desperate to test and part of me is too nervous to test! Upto now my longest cycle since coming of the pill in April was 6 weeks. Might try and wait a couple more days. Thank you guys good to know I'm not the only one who has felt like this about testing!

Just for te people talking about symptoms I've basically not felt any different in my 2ww! There was one night when I took my bra off and my boobs we tingly for about half an hour... And achy hips and legs and maybe feeling hungry at night time which is unusual but literally other than that there has been nothing! Bit obviously everyone is different. And for the person asking when people can test! I have tested 2 days before af was due and got a faint positive on a boots own test and a early predictor test :)

I know how you fell EmJay, Gilly etc. I've tested early a couple of times and just felt really disappointed with bfn after bfn. Af arrived v early last cycle so didn't even get round to testing. Think this month I'm just gonna wait and see if I can get to 12 dpo (which would be an achievement anyway with an ave 11 day luteal phase!) and test then. Its my 1st month of taking vit b6 though so even if I do get to 12 dpo it could just be the b6 rather than being pg. Am only 1dpo now and am already thinking about it!

How long is your lp usually EmJay? More than 12 dpo?

In my last cycle it was less than 12 days but usually its 14-15 days I think. Might wait till Wednesday to test. Mummabear interesting about the boon thing as the last couple of nights mine have felt tingly when have taken bra off!

Boon is boob lol silly auto correct!

That sounds promising then (making it to 12 days and tingly boobs lol). Yeah if you can get to 14 or 15 and still don't feel like af coming then you should hopefully get something showing up on a test. Good luck, and deffo keep us updated!

I was on Microgynon for about 7 years then had to change it, so been on Femodene. It does say its a "low dose" so hopefully my cycle wont take too long to get back to normal, unless I get a bfp!!

Very interesting reading about these ladies coming off hormonal contraception! I was using Implanon for two and a half years until January 2012 when I had it removed in order to get my body back to normal before TTC. I tracked my periods using an iPhone app and I love feeling so in control! In the meantime we used condoms.

I had a sharp stabbing pain on my right side tonight, momentarily. I'm sure I'm just noticing little things more than usual, but could this be ovulation, or would that be more of an ache? It's been three weeks exactly since the first day of my last period, so I presumed I had already ovulated about ten days ago (as the app thinks). DH has a headache (hmmmmm!) so doesn't want to DTD just in case lol. Am I certifiable yet?

Could be late ovulation, or if you're 10 dpo as you think I guess it could be pains to do with implantation? How does it match up with other ov symptoms - cm etc?

I think were all pretty much certifiable on here, thats why we hide out here and obsess with each other haha!

Yes emjay the tingly boobs was definitely a hopefully sign for me and it never happens usually so hopefully it will be a good sign for you too! :)

Gilly don't feel 'pathetic' worrying about your 47 day cycle - it's frustrating however long you have to wait, and it's actually a comfort to hear about people in a similar boat to me (even if mine is more of an ocean liner, lol)

I've been getting spots too, but I'm adding them to the long list of symptoms which could be my hormones regulating themselves or could be pg (crosses fingers)

I was on Yasmin for around 10 years, after trying several others (including microgynon) and also found it to be great. But I came off it in April because I was getting dizziness and migraines, theen had a month of withdrawal headaches. 'Symptoms' started at 3.5 months after coming off.

Felt dreadful today after a week of feeling better - nausea is back and I've got sore nipples for the first time tonight. Got a Dr appt on Wed so we'll see what he says. Think it's a newbie male doc, let's see how he copes with all my lady problems! Hahaha

Go mumma bear!!

BFN this morning, no period as yet but I've got that dragging feeling in my pelvis so its only a matter of time. I'll see you on the September bus, good luck to every one who's still waiting.

Good work, Mummabear, all the best for the pregnancy.

It's not over yet mrswedge!

I'm about 8dpo now... Starting to get bored of waiting!!!!
I pretty much always have a 14 day luteal phase so still too early to rest really.
Gahhhhhh

Me too gilly.. I really don't wanna cave anytime soon and I've got so much going on the next week and a half I'm hoping I get distracted lol

Aw mermaid sorry your having such a bad time :( I had a lot of pain with my periods whilst on Yasmin, so bad it would make me physically sick. So my DP made me come off it last September. We then had a scare as I thought I was pregnant (we weren't trying then - were newly together). Then started "accidentally" trying as we realised how desperate we were for kids, how comfortable we were and how in love ( there's a lot more sop to it then that). Now it's been a year and I had my first ovulation (that I know of) since a small course of microgynon.

Now 3dpo. Boobs are so sore, especially right one. Sore/cramp in pelvic region and can't go (tmi alert)

I have a pregnant dream last night. Dreamt I got 2 lines, very dark lines. And I believed it when I woke :( this is going way too slowly for me liking!
