Hi everyone here is the August bus carrying on from the one I was on previous month with u ladies.
Fx this is a lucky bus!
Had my implant out yesterday and gp said I should be good to go within a week.

Not too sure how to track so hoping af arrives to kick things off :-)

Ttc no 2
Test due date ??
Cycle 3 or 4 (lost track now!)

Thanks Miami and everyone with reassuring comments! I'll keep my fingers crossed. My boobs were absolutely killing last weekend but not hurting at all since Tuesday - God only knows what that means though 

Sorry for AF Gin WineCakeFlowers

danigrace · 29/07/2016 08:44

Niks thanks! Hope you had an amazing time at Disneyland. Congrats on almost being an Auntie again - get browsing those baby shops guilt free!!

Thanks Eva. I ditched pink pad which I found fiddly and downloaded FF this month.

Miami agree with temping being v. temperamental - I stopped for a while but am trying again this cycle.

Dances possibly but not hugely likely. Enjoy your party!! I agree with Blossom I got a big bag full off eBay for very little £.

Right docs for sa results in an hour - better get my bum out of bed and in the shower!!

danigrace · 29/07/2016 08:49

So sorry Gin Flowers fingers crossed this is your month xx

Fingers crossed Ever, all sounds hopeful! When will you test?

babydances · 29/07/2016 11:35

Thanks ladies.
I feel quite good about this month coming as I can start tracking. Implant finally out and hopefully things will start to kick off soon with ov!

Thanks guys, taking my frustration out on defrosting the freezer!

Feeling ok about it really, obvs disappointed but still only early days, only had my coil out in May. And it's our 5th anniversary in 2 weeks and DH has booked a night away so can properly enjoy it now with some cocktails!

How did it go with the GP dani?

Me9an · 29/07/2016 13:53

My af has finally arrived so this is all starting to feel very real that this month we will start trying. Any advice on TTC 1 jitters?

Daisy111 · 29/07/2016 14:06

Hi Me9an, I certainly had jitters on cycle 1 (only now on cycle 2), but it's amazing how quickly they disappear when you don't immediately fall pregnant! Now I'm just excited for it to happen / nervous about it not happening. I imagine jitters / disbelief return when you get a BFP though!

Good luck with cycle 1!

Me9an · 29/07/2016 14:35

Thanks Daisy111 ! I guess you're right it's going to be an emotional rollercoaster I'm sure! I think my hormones during af don't help either, I tend to over analyse everything! Fingers crossed for you Smile

peasandquiet · 29/07/2016 15:12

Afternoon, joining in if that's ok, ttc #2 cycle 2 this weekend is FW according to ovia. Can anyone tell me where it tells you test date or is that just when it predicts next period? I have stocked up on Frer's so will be testing ridiculously early I expect like last month Blush

Monkeyinshoes · 29/07/2016 16:37

Welcome to the bus peasandquiet

ever it could be an outlier or it could be an implantation dip. I've had dips in temp like that on the cycles I conceived my DC.

Sorry AF arrived gin

I'm on 11dpo now, BFN and no symptoms so think I'm just waiting for AF to make an appearance now.

holzyb20 · 29/07/2016 16:52

Hi everyone I'm 26 Been ttc #1 for 2 years no luck :( all my tests are normal so not sure what's going on. Doctors don't seem to fussed just keep telling me not to worry I'm still young.

So I've been ill this month so we haven't DTD'd much at all I'm on cycle day 45 normally 30 and I think I have a faint cb test thing is if I was to have conceived when I thought I did (we DTD twice when we was away) I would be far enough gone to get a proper line. The next time we had sex wasn't until 9th this month but we stopped before my partner finished as I felt really unwell he did pre-ejaculate though is it possible I could be pregnant from this

everdene · 29/07/2016 17:54

Holzby I can see a line there..!

Writerwannabe83 · 29/07/2016 23:30

I see a line too!!! Eek!!

I swore I wouldn't symptom spot this month as it's a 99% certainty that I'm not pregnant but here I am at 8dpo doing exactly that. I'm still having smelly sweats and I'm sure I felt cramping and tightening sensations in my abdomen earlier.

I'm going to be 9dpo in the morning and I'm waivering on to my plan to not POAS unless my period is late...

everdene · 30/07/2016 06:32

This is a terrible photo... but I thought I'd better check I wasn't PG before drinking last night - and I got a BFP!

I feel in shock! Totally delighted though quite unbelievable after wanting it for so long.

I had an IC which I did first and there was nothing there - then despite my disappointment I thought I could be seeing the slightest haze of a haze so I had one Superdrug test which I pulled down and did. Couldn't believe it when I turned it over and there's a faint line!

everdene amazing!!! Congratulations!! Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 30/07/2016 06:47

Congratulations!!!! We need your stats, when you DTD and your symptoms!! Grin

everdene · 30/07/2016 06:57

Thanks both! I've attached my chart.

This was the first month we've actually managed to get a cluster of dtds in - including one on ovulation day. I counted the one where poor DH lost his mojo halfway through because he felt the pressure (!) too.

I used:
Pregnacare couples' vitamins (when I remembered)
Preseed
Opk sticks
FF app

And:
Put a pillow under my bum after Dtd

We'd been actively trying for four months.

everdene · 30/07/2016 07:01

Oh writer my symptoms so far have been:

Rock hard boobs
Headaches
Mouth ulcers
Tiredness
A UTI

A LOVELY selection of symptoms! I also ate a stuffed pepper last week and said it tasted like tuna - I saw my DSis' face change and realised she was clearly thinking I was pg!

Niks2026 · 30/07/2016 08:28

Congrats ever!!! Fantastic news. Your gut instinct was right Smile

Monkeyinshoes · 30/07/2016 08:42

Congratulations ever Grin

Miami81 · 30/07/2016 09:47

Ever that's fantastic. Was hoping that was what the dip meant for you. All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Pyjamas81 · 30/07/2016 10:03
