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

[Siarie]

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

Evening ladies! Thought I'd pop in and say hello, its been a while!
only the long timers will remember me as there are a lot of new names!!

Seats are warm on the AN thread for you all to join us! :)

Thanks angel. Toots u have no idea how much I would love to join u, symptom spotting like mad, hating the lack of defonate conclusions and that each symptom can mean a bfp, bfn or af! Tell me in hindsight this all pales into insignificance?

I remember it well katy ! What cd are you? I still remember ttc well and appreciate how lucky we are! Being up the duff is great but brings other worries! Haha. When is af due?

spotting for now has eased off and was no was as much i had on the first day i noticed it last month, trying not to get my hopes up,

i hope to join you Toots on the an thread, fx

Ok, officially going insane tonight! I think the other pic showed an evap line so I redid the test and I can see something on invert and greyscale, what do you think? I am perhaps going a bit 'line happy':

Hi all, have some of the end of the other fred to catch up on so bear with me please! Hope everyone has had a good day! Thanks for the new fred too btw saire. No AF and no BFP here, I haven't tested since Friday but am trying really, really hard not to test again till next friday. I reckon I'll make weds if i'm lucky!

blueskygirl30 Thankyou, i'll get some and start testing if i've no AF by the end of the month. I haven't had a regular cycle to go on in years, if ever.

jazzy that is madness (the not knowing was pregnant story)! I remember when my mum was pregnant with my dsis she went for her 12 week scan and was in fact 25 weeks pregnant. She had had negative tests the entire time and what she thought were periods and everything! She says she remembers it well as she was actively ttc for what she thought to be quite some time!

congrats oneday, saire, tickle,

bluesky it really is frustrating, hope you have some info to go on soon! I've been tracking as much as possible this time esp since implant removal, not ov but other bits like cm and when we've dtd and whatnot. Fc we know what's going on after a few cycles

hope you have a lovely honeymoon teacher

saire I don't think anyone will begrudge you your bfp :) It's fab news. With ds I had my implant removed on 6th feb and dates reckon I conceived on 4th feb. Goodness only knows how that worked but i'm convinced it'll make up for it time wise this time round!

Can I just ask is the BFP due that people have mentioned the same as when AF is due? Have been wondering how you all work out when your BFP is due

Aw det it'll happen, I bet dp is enjoying all the dtd! I have dtd at least once every day bar 4 days this month. So have definitely tried my best LOL!!

wow jezzy that cake is fab!

cariad bless you, fingers crossed for you, maybe round 5 is your round? After an easy catch with DS and am only on cycle 1 with ttc number 2 and i'm already frustrating myself I can only imagine it just gets harder each time :( But it will happen :)

hope sept is lucky for you sparkle and lucie and mzzzf

I think i can see something magrat but i'm not sure if it's because I stared so intently! FX for you :)

Apologies if I miss people out or if I seem to ignore people asking for advice, I haven't really any to give on TTC so I haven't responded, but I have my fingers crossed for everyone :)

Thanks Kyz - think I'm going a bit cross-eyed!

Whoo hoo - temp spike obvious now so perhaps I ovulated! On CD14 and everything! Managed to dtd on CD12 and 13 so perhaps I'm not out this month. Pleased. And now for the 2ww.... Just accidentally wrote 5ww - imagine that!

Congratulations to all the lovely BFPs.

Sorry the witch has caught so many, fx for September.

I have developed the most hideous back pain today, trying to convince myself its a symptom. Probably just pulled it hoovering

Should be able to test in about a week, the wait is driving me mad. I'm off to a party Sat and keep wondering whether to drink or not, how stupid!!!

I do apologise for the 'me me me' post yesterday! Thank you Kitty for your reply too! Being tired seems to make me more irrationally worried than normal!

Jazzy I love that Minnie Mouse cake you made! It's gorgeous!

Mumma fx that those cramps are the lead up to a BFP for you!

Angela I hope it was implantation bleeding for you!

Sorry you're out for this month Lucie and Mzzzf be kind to yourselves and I hope the next bus brings you more luck.

Fifi I had a tiny spot of blood on ovulation day this month that I'd never had before.

Kitty much is cm sounds like an excellent symptom for you too! When are you planning to test? I hope you're having a lovely holiday!

I've just had a massive temp drop this morning...I'm hoping it jumps back up again tomorrow!!

Did a CB hpg this morning and still BFN so I know I'm out for this month. Will hop over to the September bus.

Thanks for keeping me company along the way. Fx for those of you still to test - there have been some very promising sounding symptoms.

I meant hpt - silly phone!

Morning

Ooh it's busy here, just popping on from sep bus.

Magrat, fx for a stronger line for you.

Kitty, hope you're enjoying your holiday. All that cm is a fab sign, I've got fingers and toes tightly crossed for you.

Genni, any news from you?

Morning all just saying hi. Day 24 here. Dtd last night just in case after funky ewcm seeing dr google says it's not as uncommon as I had thought to have ewcm after ovulation so hope that's what happened

Symptom still big boobs, needing to wee a lot and tired - oh and headache. Let's see if they r a for symptoms

hi spinning I just posted over on the September bus for you! haha.

I'm okay, fairly certain AF is due any day now. We have our first round of tests booked next week so focusing on that instead of the dreaded AF! How are you? Gearing up for ov I'm guessing?

What tests are you having Genni?

lucie we are booked in to have some initial tests - AMH, ultrasound etc at a private clinic. I want to know if something is wrong given I'm 33 and this is cycle 9. I didn't want to go this route but even if it's just for peace of mind then I guess we should.

How many dpo are people aiming for, before doing a hpt?

I am having the same on Thursday Genni, well I'm having AMH on Thursday and DH is having semen analysis and then a couple of weeks later I have the ultrasound. I'm over on the September bus now so will keep you posted on there x

lucie that sounds pretty much the same as us. I'm already on the September bus so do keep me updated and let me know h9w it goes. FX everything is ok. Its nice to know someone else having similar going on.

ohlordy I don't test anymore (I only will now if AF was ever late) but I used to wait until 10dpo to test. Obviously the longer you can hold out the better

Try to hold out but have been testing every day since 10dpo! Silly really as I worked out when I could have implanted based on when I oved and it could have been as late as Thurs/Fri last week. I usually have 31-32 day cycles so due AF tomorrow and no cramping or anything. Just feel really sick and tired. Took this this morning but I think only I can see something there especially on invert but am also starting to think I'm going mad with this testing lark! I'd probably wait as late as I can next time.

I'm tentatively joining in, I miscarried at 9 weeks in June. I tested a week after the operation and it was negative so we have been ttc since.

I haven't had a period yet since the miscarriage so have no idea where I am in my cycle. I thought I would test on the 31st August if my period hasn't arrived by then.

I'm symptom spotting like mad, trying really hard not to get my hopes up because I think it would be pretty impossible for me to get pregnant again so quickly.

However the last two nights I've had to get up in the night for a wee, this only ever happens to me if I'm pregnant or drunk. Last night I got heartburn, that only happened when I was pregnant. I've got lots of discharge and feel like my period is coming. My boobs feel ok though and they were really painful last time.

I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Congratulations to all who have had a bfp this month.
