August bus in full summer swing, lightening strikes and symptoms spotting galore!

[Siarie]

New bus ladies, if someone could post the latest stats :)

Hooray for Sarah! Congraulations. Very pleased for you.

Laughing at Kittys attempts not to spam us! But your symptoms sound positive - looking forward to a BFP for you on Monday. Wouldn't that be wonderful!

Detective - oh no, AF! I am a novice at temping, just started this cycle. Not sure how accurate it is as we had a lot of disrupted nights due to poorly toddler, so I was either very restless or waking up and taking the temp at different times. (No way I am setting an alarm with a toddler!) However, I seem to have had a dramatic temp increase at CD14 that Fertility Friend is calling ovulation, so I hope it's accurate. 7DPO here and temp is still high. I like temping, actually, feel like something to do that just provides information - nothing hinges on a big POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. I just do orally though.

A bit of symptom spotting yesterday - wave of nausea and lots of dizziness (nausea v v unusual) and recurrent weird feeling of swollen left breast! Probably nothing. Will wait until 14DPO to test if AF doesn't arrive first.

MrsBee, I probably should change but I haven't adjusted my alcohol intake at all while TTC. Just my luck that I would abstain it would take a year to conceive. With my DD I went on a bender in Istanbul about 2 days before AF was due (and never arrived)... I would say if you have good news and some prosecco, go for it. (And congrats on the good news!)

Congratulations Sarah!!

Congratulations Sarah

I'm desperately holding off testing until Monday - as is my deal with 'comeawaywithme'

Finding it so hard to wait. I'm not a patient person by nature and the first response tests keep mocking me and taunting me from the drawer they are in.

Only 9dpo and Af not due until 28th so must hold off until then.

Congratulations Sarah!
Sorry AF got you Detective.
No news here either way. ..

And thanks for your reply sunbathing - do you reckon you ovulated later that cycle or just had v low levels of hcg?

Morning, just popping over from sep bus

Sarah, Congratulations

Detective, sorry af got you

Kitty, I'm waiting for you to poas

CD32 here. Cycle length is usually 29-30 days, but is occasionally longer.

Tested this morning on an IC and seemed to have the squintiest of a line. Tried a Superdrug test and there is a line, (I think there's a line anyway, I keep checking every five minutes)!

Argh! This month was such a disaster for us in terms of TTC, as DP had developed some performance issues, which was pretty stressful for both of us. Wrote this month off, to the extent that I went out last Friday night and had several gin and tonics.

Doubting the line hugely.....

janey I'm on my phone but I can see a line clearly. Congratulations! A line is a line

Janey I think we might need to look at the line!

AF in full flow here. Really confused about my cycle length now! Think I might start temping (thanks for the link Sunbathing).

Do I start temping now or is it best to wait until AF is over? And what sort of themometer do I need?

x posts - hell yes that's a line! Congratulations!

Massive congratulations Sarahg1 and JaneyTea. Best of luck for smooth pregnancies for you both.

Janey! Deffo a line! Congrats!

hopping over from the September bus again, def a line on both of those test!, congratulations, hope this bus continues to be lucky for the rest of you who are still on board.

That's a whopper of a line Janey!!! Wahoo!! Just goes to show that despite your trials and tribulations this cycle it only takes 1 swimmer!!

Once you've finished dancing around the bathroom, don't forget to send us TTC obsessives your stats!

Morning ladies sorry for absence on hols and awful reception.

Decided to poas today cd 27 (held off yest at hubbie request as he was still working) it was a bfn poooooooiiiii. Am v pissed as was convinced I was preg!!!

However Weird symptoms still occurring. Ewcm mon and then lots ewcm yest day 26. No idea what's going on this cycle!! Dtd last night jic. And on mon night jic. Have resolved to continue to dtd eod now until af arrives. I think it's only way to stand chance!! Annoyed as we had dtd eod so well till cd19 when decided we had done all could!!! Hope that doesn't mean we have missed it!!!

Trying to stay calm and enjoy hol now so may b a little absent and I guess I'm still in with shot but will have to wait and see.

Maybe sunbathing u and I continue to b cycle twins and I to didn't ovulate but now have. I got cramps again yest and tues but on left side previously it was right!! Who knows blinking body xx

Congrats sarah

Sorry to u blue sky, jackie, and teacher mummy and anyone else who got bfn I will continue to lurk on here to c if af arrives

Congrats to Sarah and Janet! For anyone asking about temping, I have started doing it a few days ago and got a great pack of stuff on amazon - loads of opks and hpts (ICs) and a thermometer from babymad all for a tenner. It seems to work fine - it's digital in centigrade as I can't work F out at all! I'm still waiting here, CD33, no sign of AF but still bfn on the tests. Still have symptoms - strong sense of smell, dizzy spells, a very cuddly cat, milky cm, waves of nausea when hungry, but still no news either way. Really don't want to get my hopes up in case it's just AF playing tricks with me! I had a positive opk on Tues so maybe I just ovulated late (so DTD jic!!) - who knows anymore!!

www.fertilityfriend.com/videos.html

If anyone is interested in temping watch the video's by Fertility friend linked above. I highly recommend it, as it has helped me know exactly what was going on after coming off birth control.

You can also download their app and use it on your phone or a laptop/desktop to record your temps each morning.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for all the congratulations. I am mostly sitting at work with this face then this one then .

chandlers what stats would you like?! We DTD on cd 11, 15, 16 and 18 and I think I ov-ed on cd16. In terms of symptoms, I've been feeling like I've been coming down with a cold this week, (which of course, could just be a cold) and was so tired that I fell asleep half way through GBBO! What made me test was more the absence of PMS symptoms that I usually get, rather than any new symptoms.

Congratulations to you Sarah

Congrats Sarah & Janey, that's fab news!

I'm still experiencing weird symptoms. AF currently is a little late but I'm holding off testing until the morning - if not Sunday just to be sure.

Fingers crossed for all of you still waiting.

Those are just perfect Janey, superb work!! Hope you're more than for the next 9 months x x x

Katy sorry to hear you got a bfn, maybe still to early to test, hopefully your bfp is just around the corner

Thanks angel u never know and hubbie and I agree we'll just keep trying.

Sunbathing I came off pill in may after 17 yrs no breaks. I stupidly thought I would fall immediately. Cycle 1 51 days, cycle 2 25 days, cycle 3 27 days and counting bfn today.

I guess all we can do is keep on keeping on. This is first cycle I have had ewcm so maybe this is first cycle I have ovulated I've had loads of cramps from cd 13 to now. Worst was cd 14-16 on right side and now cd 26 and 27 on left side sbd this is when had ewcm so just have to wait and see as long as cycle less than. 42 days cbfm is purchased and we will start using. Trying to relax about it now as I guess I can't control this much as I keep trying!
