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....

Congrats mummy that's awesome

Blouer any more news from you??

How's Hayley? Has she posted?

My af is so heavy. Am so tired with it all too. Am determined to just chill this cycle too. Am gong back to work on thurs for first time in nearly a year so maybe latent stress of that is what caused a 17 day cycle?

jaykay...oh no! I don't do temping because not enterprising enough so can't really offer you advice. However, doesn't timing and sleep pattern and breathing etc influence temp greatly? How long are your cycles?

I keep meaning to temp but I never remember to do it first thing

I usually wake up for a wee in the middle of the night..so temping isn't really for me.

I hope Hayley is well.

I'm on cd20. Have no twinges or aches that I don't get normally. I think. Paying all this attention to myself is exhausting.

Coffee same here, I'm always up at least once for a wee so can't temp. Wish I could as the cover line would tell you if symptoms are real or imaginary/pms!

I've been temping for a week and it's still very mystical and strange to me! My temperature seems very low so I wonder if either I'm doing it wrong or my thermometer is duff!

:( did a superdrug one and another amazon one with same pee.....both bfn :( don't understand why that first one has a line and still has a line :(

mama I don't know what to say..

Could the first have been an evap line? Can you test again tomorrow or in a couple of days? There's always a chance if AF hasn't turned up!

Aah! This thread moves so quickly! Congratulations mrsmummy. :)

Not much to report here... The EWC seems to have disappeared. Far as I can work out, I should ovulate at some point between now and the weekend, assuming my cycle is the same as normal. So, best get busy!

Not monitoring temperatures or using OPKs here yet, but I might start doing that next month if we have no success this cycle. I remember we also used Preseed with success for DD... Might have to investigate that again.

It all seems so long ago!

Don't lose hope Mama - just try again in the morning. I made my way through about 15 BFNs until my BFP finally arrived and as crappy as the BFN's felt at the time, it was well worth the trauma

Thanks ladies! Def not an evap line! Its faint but a definate line and no line at all on the other ones! Yes I will try again in a day or 2 if no af arrives.

Least you can have a drink now mama

What temp are you getting leezl?

Re-reading my post it sounds a bit insensitive mam sorry about that

I should have said I'm sorry you got bfn's but maybe your pee just wasn't strong enough. Your body probably makes more hormone at night which is maybe why fmu is best. Try again in the morning and let us know!

Thanks disney! And yes I just downed a pint of orange juice....needed that! :)

Ha! If you start peeing like a trooper try not to think too much on it, it's probably just the orange juice

Yeah try again in the morning mama :) im sure we have lots of bfp's to look forward to!

Ive got AF from hell, all I want to do is sit and eat biccies :( have warned DH hes dtd every other day in sept!

ahhhh.... waiting is driving me to distraction... not that I don't have enough that I should be doing... but my mind keeps creeping back to that hpk in the bathroom cupboard......

was much easier last month when AF turned up a couple of days early... better that than this hope-raising lateness!!! grrrr......

I will not break yet... It's a bit like schrodingers cat ... until I open the box (POAS) I could be both pregnant and not pregnant all at the same time!!

hope the rest of you are doing ok... sorry for the bfn mama but fx for tomorrow or weds!

So sorry for the bfn mama!! Roller coaster ride this.

Thanks!!! Yes massive rollercoaster!! Wish I never got the line 1st thing as I'm still wondering if I am or not!! But I am ok, I know its not all plain sailing and only early days for me so can't complain.....yet!

Aww mama definitely test again in the morning! I found the superdrug test actually gave a much stronger line than the amazon one, but maybe do both again? Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations :) I'm at work but my mind is definitely not on the job today!!!!

Haha, bushprincess I actually used the schrodinger's cat analogy this morning with dh! I'm being so obsessive today! Done 4 hpts over the last few days, all bfn but I'm now 2 days late (cd35). Really need to focus on work but mind keeps wandering.

Jaykay, I once had a positive opk but no temp rise! Also once all the signs of ov, but not much pain and no temp rise. With the first time, I just came off the pill and I ovulated the next month. With the second time I had a job interview and ovulated a week later. It's so frustrating though waiting for ov and that temp rise! Hope you get it soon.

Leezl, what is you temp? Everyone's got a different temp, but some say that a very low temp can indicate hypothyroidism, but then again I've heard this is unreliable.

I got the same temp for 6 mornings in a row now, flatline chart looks weird. My cervix felt really low and a bit open this morning so I panicked AF was on its way (too early), but it has closed up a bit now but I got some ewcm. Odd.

Yes mama test in the morning. In the early stages hcg is so low that when urine is just that bit more diluted it won't pick it up. But it should double every three days, so should get stronger.

Great minds think alike Suz
fx for the next couple of days... if AF is late then there's every chance!! good luck and let us know once you get that BFP!
