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

[Siarie]

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

Oh kitty what are we going to do without u. My cycles r a joke. Cycle 1 51 days, cycle 2 25 days, cycle 3 29 days and counting!!! Does soy sort out ur cycle to? I just need to regulate it this is a nightmare!

Sounds bloody frustrating katy. I think if you aren't lucky this cycle and I hope you are then give bbt temping a go and look into Soy Isoflavones to help you ovulate at a decent time, to give you a fighting chance of DTD at the right time. Of courses, I'm not a doctor and like English said, we all react differently to things. Start by doing lots of research based on your cycles then make a decision-leave well alone or try something. Good luck!

Thanks ladies, wow it's a minefield isn't it. I think ur right on temping, also have a cbfm for next cycle which hopefully will ensure dtd at the right time. I'm going to get googling.

Kitty u got ur soy at tesco didn't u?

Thanks very much all, KittyVonCatsington - thank you twin! :D Best of luck to all those awaiting BFPs - I'm still in a fair amount of shock and convinced my AF is going to start any day now ?! I'll try and take each day as it comes I guess :)

Nah, off Amazon but the Tesco ones are great!

Hope you don't mind me joining. Got my BFP today! My 2nd baby and I'm around 5 weeks I think

Wow congrats Heatherous - if you don't mind my asking, how many dpo were you when you got your bfp? All this waiting is starting to drive me a bit mad! Congratulation again - wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! :)

Congratulations Heatherous 5 weeks, wow! You did well waiting that long to test You must be super happy!

To be honest I haven't really been tracking it as my periods have been all over the place. Since I've been tracking periods 3 months ago I've been irregular and at least over 30 days between each period. To be honest I could be less than 5 weeks I'm going off my last period at the moment good look ma and hope you get your BFP soon

Thanks kitty! Just been reading the thread and congrats to you too! I have been testing like mad for about 3 weeks but got my BFP this morning. Just randomly did the test as I was convinced I wouldn't be pregnant. Couldn't believe it when I was!

wow a happy day on the August bus! Congratulations to bfps. Wishing you all the best.

Af arrived this morning, bang on time! It wasn't a surprise after yesterday's bfn. I don't feel too disheartened. It was only cycle 1 ttc so it was expected. I will keep an eye on you all on the sept bus and will join anyone who is still waiting for their bfps in October

Congratulations Heatherous :)

Just did a first response test and I'm on day 26 of a 28/29 day cycle and got a very definitive BFN so I'm pretty sure I'm out.

I know it's not over until af arrives but I was sure I wasn't pg anyway and this has just confirmed. I think maybe I ovulated late or something and missed dtd when DH was away.

Think I will try tracking my bbt and using opks next cycle to try to track it better.

Recommendations for best opks welcome

Woo hoo! Another BFP here
I tested a day early with clear blue digital and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks. Thrilled to bits!

Aw congrats fifiolle

That's awesome. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

Please don't forget to add any stats you might have for us still ttc'ers!

Thanks buba. This was our third cycle of TTC but the first with OPK. I used the clear blue digital OPK and got very impatient waiting for the smiley face- it eventually arrived on CD17. I also tried the grapefruit juice thing this month.
Wishing all the ttc'ers lots of luck and smiley faces!

Congratulations to those with BFPs! 12DPO here and a BFN. Shall go and lurk on the September bus. Good luck to everyone TTC. Hope we all get BFPs soon!

Thanks fififolle

I have been debating the use of opks but am sure I ovulated later then expected this month so may get some and give it a go.

Enjoy the next 9 months and of course your new baby when they arrive

Hey comeawaywithme - me too.

I think I ovulated later then expected when DH was away and missed my window.

Meet you over in September - which WILL be our month! Haha

Congrats fifo, heather and plinkey that's v cool news. Bfp club is getting massive

Here in Katybear land still no af day 30!!!! This is doing my pieces sure my boobs r getting bigger. Cm seems to have gone so maybe af is on the way? Oh I hope so or fur a bfp limbo is awful!

Congrars on the bfps, this is such a lucky bus.
Good luck to those of you moving over to September, fx for you.
Dpo10 here and a bfn on a frer, but temp still high and white creamy cm so I'm staying optimistic as dpo10 is still early.
I have a dull bruised type feeling in my abdomen though, so hope it's not a sign of af.

A huge bank holiday congratulations fifi wonderful news to wake up to!

I've been reading back on this thread and I think we missed Nora42 off the BFP list - if your reading Nora-belated congratulations!!!

I fullly understand how horrible limbo is Katy Hope you get answers soon

Sorry for the BFN comeaway - 12dpo is still early-remember you can implant as late as 12 dpo...

Hang in there Katy.

I had similar last month. Me and DH knew we wanted to start ttc but weren't 'actively' trying if that makes sense.

I have NEVER been more then a day late for my freakishly regular AF which is every 28/29 days. (Except when pg with DS).

Last cycle = nausea, bloated, headaches, swollen boobs, etc, etc but all tests bfn's!

Af eventually arrived 8 days late! Don't know what happened but was most frustrating 8 days of my life!

Here to hold your hand and hope it's a late BFP that's just teasing you!

Thanks baba lou u r the best, that really helps, hand taken virtually and squeezed. Kitty thank u to for ur thoughts. I think af is more likely but if she going to arrive I wish she would just show up. Bloody witch! Right going to update stats - to follow soon.
