The September BFP bus, second thread and not even September yet

[Kemie]

Please join the new bus here, the old one's all out of gas....

Sounding extremely promising mama!

I know the feeling purple!!! I have some cheapies so might do those tue/wed if af isn't in full flow by then but my af isn't due til nxt sun/mon! So this is pretty early if it is af :/

Good luck purple hope its a bfp for u!

Yep mama same here. If af is fri that's a 21 day cycle for me as it is so to be spotting fri and sun is v strange.

Ooh does sound promising, I have my fingers crossed. Keep us updated :)

On the symptoms front I've started getting short sharp shooting pains down low this evening (anyone else had that?) and the odd twinge, no idea what it is, probably AF kicking into action for Wednesday /Thursday but feels odd :/

Thanks imaginary, I had a nice pint of cider and a burger with yummy cornish brie! I'm just pissed off and feel like it's not meant to happen for me! Dunno what that's based on but is in my head! I'm so demoralised, I need to refocus and stop obsessing over ttc but it's so hard.

Hugs kemie I've so been there. It's so hard not knowing why it's not happened and trying to be chilled. Glad you had a nice burger and pint

I'm out

Hi Purple, Mama - your spotting sounds really promising! I'm spotting much less today, feeling hopeful but also don't want to be too hopeful. I'm the same as you Purple, due AF/BFP on Fri 6. Want to try and hold out to test until then but might cave on Weds.
Fx fx fx!

Sounds good Kemie glad you enjoyed it.I know its so hard not to obsess, since starting ttc I think about it all the time, I'm going to try to be a bit more relaxed this cycle and see if that helps. Famous last words!

Sorry you're out too chubby

On the plus side sounds like a few potential implant bleeds on the thread so hopefully some good news to look forward to soon. good luck ladies!

Sorry to hear that chubby and kemie hugs all round.

I'm trying to play it cool this month but totally not working, this forum is a god send, otherwise my DH would think I was completely nuts!

Kemmie, you are not alone, its hard not to obsess

Vicky with my DS I had really low shooting pains, they gradually got worse to the point I was sitting on the loo in tears at 3am - after 2 weeks I went to the GP only to find out I was pregnant hopefully your pains will turn out the same! (a baby not horribly painful lol).

Well done of the weight loss misty. Just a little advice be careful about losing more than 1-2lbs a week, when you lose more that that quickly without exercise your likely to be losing water and muscle rather than just body fat. I managed a fitness and weight loss centre for 6 years (Curves) & worked with 100s of women a day trying to lose weight. If you can get your body fat % monitored as well as scales weight it's a lot more realistic. SW is brilliant for loosing weight, & gives people a great start, however it's the 2nd most common diet that when you stop you end up putting more on than you lost if done without exercise. (worst culprit is lighter life) It's kind of notorious for it. I don't work for Curves anymore so not trying to sell it to you, but if you have one close to you I would highly recommend it. Sorry reverted into old work mode lol. I know doing it slowly seems silly If you can do it fast but in the long run your more likely to keep the weight off if done slowly. Good luck with it xxx

So today iv had a dull period type ache all day and felt a little sick. If I didn't no better I'd say AF was on the way However I posted a pic of the test I took Friday on my previous MN antenatal Facebook page and everyone seems to think it's a positive. Iv been at my mums this weekend don't think I'll be home till Tuesday. Don't no why but don't want to POAS here, would rather do it in my own home. The am I arnt I is actually killing me. Part of me thinks I must be pregnant, but the more sensible side is saying no, not with an 83 day last cycle, no idea when I ovulated, possible PCoS and breastfeeding a toddler. Wanted it for so long think a part of me is almost frightened to believe i got a BFP encase I do another test and it's gone - does that make sense or am I a bit crazy?

Ooh....lots of exciting possible symptoms girls!

Justhayley - that makes sense to me (but I hoard unchecked lottery tickets in my purse for ages as if I haven't checked them "I still might have won!) At least if you wait il Tomorrow your test will hopefully give you a nice clear positive! FX!

Vivkyvix - I had really sharp painful stabbing pains. Initially in my back low down on left hand side. They've - now moved round the front and are really low. Painful! Definitely nothing I normally get. Not constant. Just three/four stabbing episodes a day.

I've no idea what it is. I (think) Im too early in my cycle for this to be anything. But my cycle is not making sense to me this month. So I am currently in limbo! My temps are up and down which keeps confusing FF. I've had my +ve opks but no sustained temp rise yet. Lots of "normal" ov pain (in addition to stabbing pains) but all prolonged longer than normal. Sleeping really disrupted this week - I am regularly wide awake at 3/4am! I feel so energetic I want to get up and start cleaning or something! Very unlike me! I don't always sleep well, but that always issues getting to sleep - never waking super early. So not sure what impact this is having on my temps - other than making them erratic!

Anyway - who has more exciting news to share this morning?

Morning, how is everyone today? Good luck to anyone poas!! :)

I'm so tired today. Couldn't get back to sleep after waking up from a really vivid and scary dream (I'm back to school today so I think that would explain it) so now I'm going to be really tired for first day back!

So no sign of AF (due yesterday) but POAS 7 times in the past week and no luck! Guess its the waiting game

chubbykitty and kemie for AF

Fingers crossed for all who might have implantation bleeds.

I'm already counting myself out this month and trying not to get cross with DH only managed to DTD twice in fertile window, once at very beginning and once at very end. I'm only using app on phone to guess when ov happens so might buy sticks for next month. DH was too stressed with work to DTD mid week....need my cycle to change so I'm ovulating at the weekend then we'd be fine.

It's so frustrating knowing I've now got about three weeks before we can try again....tick tock tick tock feels like I have a huge clock over my head and time is running out

I feel your pain killa, it sucks! I have a clock over my head too, and very sporadic dtd opportunity! :( I'm using Fertility Friend as an app, what are you using? Also thinking of getting some Ov sticks for our next cycle; it all helps, right?! ;)

I'm moving to the back of the bus as af got me this morning. So now I'll be due a bfp on the 28th sept. Good luck to those still to test

Sorry to hear AF got you, CK. are you moving to the back of the bus, or do you have a longer cycle?

Justhayley, it really did look like a bfp to me, but I understand your hesitation. Good luck in the next few days!

Hi killa, you might still be in luck, if your not using the sticks then you don't know exactly when you ovulated right...so you might have dtd at the perfect time!!
I use P Tracker app, and the one time I used the stick I ovulated 4 days later than what the app said.

So Good luck all. x

I was out all day yesterday and spent some time with my 'nephews' (we're like an aunt and uncle to them but we aren't related) they are 5 and 8 and 2 of the cutest boys ever. GIVE ME A BABY NOW!

Sorry for the ones AF got, she's such a cow. I'm quite excited for this month cause hubby is a lot more interested if only I could get him to stop trying at 3am... Fingers crossed for Sept this WILL be our month Gily!

Where are all our bfps? I have such high hopes for September.

As for me, we'll, I'm only CD6, been temping for 4 days so far and happy to see my BBT has remained steady to within 0.05 degrees C, when I thought for sure it would vary a lot more and make the whole charting thing impossible for me to read. Hopefully it remains steady until I ovulate so I can have a bit of assurance.

There's not much I can do for about a week, really, but I'm going to follow smep this month, so that mean bd every other day from CD8(woohoo!) and opks every day from CD10. This is the first month we're not 'letting what happens happen', so I'm sure ill be just as bad as last month in the 2ww, obsessively symptom spotting, even though I KNOW there's no reliable symptom other than a missed period, because everything else could be pms.

Enough of an essay from me, bring on the bfps!

Oh and congrats on all the weight loss! I put on a dress this morning and I'm thinking I should shift a few pounds before I collect some more.

I cant wait for downtown abbey to start again. I'm also waiting for game of thrones but that's not till march next year and Grimm. That should be starting again soon

Ahh, sorry to you, too monkette, I didn't see your post

Sorry to all the bfn's :( I think I'm prob gona be joining u soon this month....more brownish mucus this morning....reckon early af is on its way!! Pretty certain actually! :(
