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!)

I'm a nurse Smile

As part of the pact I will promise not to buy any HPTs whilst I'm in town tomorrow, I shall resist the urge! I drive myself absolutely crazy last cycle so I need to just calm down now.

I do have a feeling AF will arrive in the morning though, over the last few hours I have been having my normal period cramps.

On the plus side, whilst watching OBEM I started a conversation about girl's names and DH engaged and said what names he liked....

ginandcake · 02/08/2016 23:17

AF due on the 25th I think, but cycles not quite right yet after having the mirena coil out.

I work in a GP surgery writer, and yes I have pinched one or two! Blush What about you?

OK, I have surrendered them all, and I vow that I will not test until the 25th, no matter what symptoms I think I may have!

Yeah definitely only a little, have just calculated my date if I conceive on this cycle Blush

Writerwannabe83 · 02/08/2016 23:58

I work on the Infant Unit (ages 0-2) so no pregnancy tests on my ward but today I was despatched to the Adolescent Unit (ages 13+) so there were lots of easily accessible pregnancy tests!!

Knowing my luck I would have been caught had I decided to ram a load into my pocket Grin

Calmisthemantra · 03/08/2016 06:58

3 days late and bfn

Pffffft whatever I'm over it

Confused
Miami81 · 03/08/2016 07:00

I like the pact. I shall try. I think test date for me will be the 16th. However cycles to date have been 26 days so I will either have AF on the 14th or poasing like a crazy person. That will only be 10dpo though. Seems awful short for luteul phase. Trying not to focus on negative things, but still a bit of a worry.
To reintroduce myself.
Age 35
Ttc #1 after mc in April
Cycle 3 after mc
Cd 15 - and now into the craziness that is tww.

sk1pper · 03/08/2016 07:32

I bought the cheapys off amazon too but it's meant that I'm more inclined to use them whenever the hell I want.

I'm with you blossom, no tests this moth unless AF is late (which it never is).

Vanillaradio · 03/08/2016 07:40

My af is supposed to be due on Sunday so OK then I will try and hold out till then. Have a feeling af might show up before then anyway but my cycle has been quite weird lately, anything from 24 to 31 days.

Theknittinggorilla · 03/08/2016 08:20

I'm in too. Af due a week on Friday, will test sat. Have family party so would like to know ideally so I can drink. Though my periods are pretty clockwork so af highly likely to arrive on time if it's coming. I really shouldn't spend any money on tests!

Writerwannabe83 · 03/08/2016 08:27

CD31 and still non period.

In comparison to last month it is now 3 days later. I genuinely thought I would wake up to it this morning as I felt a bit crampy last night but I guess not.

I hate having late AF and BFNs, it's so frustrating!!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 03/08/2016 08:40

I just had a wee and after wiping there were a few spots of orange/brown blood so maybe AF is on her way after all....

Eva30 · 03/08/2016 09:11

Hi all bus passengers! Recap on me - 29yo, ttc#1, cycle 4. I think I'm 2dpo now, test date around 13th August. Used the CB monitor for the first time this month. Another tww begins..

miwelaisjacydo · 03/08/2016 09:12

writer oh no!

Am trying not to symptom spot as am on like day 1/2 post ovulation. But woke last night to weird tummy pain like tightning and mild tummy cramps. This is prob all in my head but have never felt that sensation before.

I'm sure when AF is late and your not pregnant it's your bodies way of laughing at you.

Katie0907 · 03/08/2016 09:14

Hellloo August bus!! How is everyone?

I am really confused about what my body is doing. I was on the July bus with my never ending cycle and time has ticked on so we're now in August!

I started bleeding on Monday which was CD53 however I'm not sure if it was a period. Normally my periods go from brown to dark red and are quite heavy from day 2/3 and last for 5/6 days. This however was bright red for 1.5 days and was light (more than can be called spotting but light iykwim). And no cramping. I think I'm still going to go to the doctors. I'm on holiday right now so can't do much till next week.

So I have no idea if I am CD55 or CD3

miwelaisjacydo · 03/08/2016 09:15

Like natures cruel joke.

eva hi me you and sk1pper are test buddies 😊 Hope it's good results all round.

Has anybody told anyone in rl that your TTC?

sk1pper · 03/08/2016 09:54

Hi Eva and Katie.

I had huge ovulation pain this month, normally get zip. I'm hoping that means it's a good egg :D

peasandquiet · 03/08/2016 11:39

Positive OPK just now so didn't miss it yesterday SmileNot sure I can face any more DTD I'm knackered and DH not home till late tonight. Will be testing around the 15th. I'm away with friends for the week before so that should hold me back from POAS early. Cupboard is stocked with Frer's and digi's as I love a posh HPT otherwise I don't believe them anyway!

danigrace · 03/08/2016 14:20

Writer I think the opk's are supposed to be a bit more sensitive than hpts but I'm not 100% sure... When is AF due, or is it already late? Sounds promising your DH is 'softening' slightly!

Gin I'm about synced with you (if my cycle decides to behave), AF finished yday morn.

Gorilla & Miami Eva & all other 2wwers! Fingers crossed for your BFP!!

Blossom this is the first cycle I've had since March so I'm actually looking forward to embracing the crazy poas time lol Grin

Calm any chance you ovulated late?

Katie have you been tested for PCOS?

Peas yay for the opk!

McBaby · 03/08/2016 14:27

So I gave in to the craziness of testing early 9dpo and have 4 very faint positives (I didn't believe the first 3). A bit apprehensive as I have only been getting negatives some miscarrige for the past week!

I will test again tomorrow and going for a darker line!

(Out of interest I also used an okp too and there was a definite pink second line)

Pyjamas81 · 03/08/2016 14:32

McBaby - congratulations on your BFP!!!!!

I am 9dpo as well and trying with all my might to resist testing until the weekend! AF due yesterday according to Ovia, but cycles are crazy so not sure I trust it. It's telling me to wait until Saturday, so that's what I will do!

MishyBakes · 03/08/2016 14:59

Hello lovely August bus ladies! Been a bit quiet lately, attempting to have a more relaxed month TTC. Seeing as we are redoing introductions: 29yo, TTC #1, cycle 3, cd23.

Congrats on the bfp Mcbaby! this bus seems to be full of them this month, so well done everyone on their bfps.

Pyjamas, we are sort of synced up. Also 9dpo, but my AF isn't due until next Thursday. Am resisting the frer hpt until Saturday. In the meantime, I'm using the OPKs to see if there's anything. Honestly think I'm out this month, and am doing my best not to symptom spot.

Fingers crossed for everyone else in the tww

sk1pper · 03/08/2016 15:03

Sounds promising Mc Baby, good luck! I'm sick of the 2ww now, just want it to happen already. :( if AF arrived this month I've promised DH I'll book us in to see the GP, he's so laid back about it so I know he's just saying that for my peace of mind.

What's Ovia by the way? Is it an app? I'm using Clue to record AF and ovulation atm, pretty useful software.

Calmisthemantra · 03/08/2016 15:20

AF just arrived with full force. I'm guessing maybe a slight chemical pg due to squint of a line then totally negative and delayed period when I'm normally very regular.

Daisy111 · 03/08/2016 15:25

Hello everyone

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, thought I'd say hi. I am 31, TTC #1, Cycle 2.

Mishy, you said you're using OPKs during your 2ww - is that some sort of early pregnancy indicator? I am wondering what to do, as AF due tomorrow according to Glow app but more like Sunday/Monday according to me, and I am due a big night out on Friday (a friend's hen do). I'd really like to drink if I'm not pg, so any way of getting an early indication would be good!

I have no symptoms, and I just don't feel like I'm pg - only thing is my temps have been consistently high since ovulation...

Hmmm. Wine beckons, but thinking I should be sensible. Can OPKs help?!
