Hi everyone here is the August bus carrying on from the one I was on previous month with u ladies.

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 ??

Good luck with the blood tests mcbaby.

How are you doing dances?

misstiggiwinkle · 05/08/2016 21:38

I can see a line!

Alb1 · 05/08/2016 22:31

I tried joining the bus at the start but quickly fell off it again as wev had a busy few weeks, mind if I join again?

10dpo today and BFN, going to test again tomorrow at but not feeling too hopeful!

miwelaisjacydo · 05/08/2016 22:39

Sooo trying hard not to symptom spot but am about 3 days po and have been having by flushes all day. Wishful thinking ay.

miwelaisjacydo · 05/08/2016 22:39

Hot not by

Cary1234 · 05/08/2016 22:47

Thanks everyone for your opinions. Not sure I am going to believe it as af not due until Tuesday/wed. Going to test again in the morning.

I have been having really hot flushes too!! Wake up in the night really sweaty! Also I feel starving. My tummy keeps crumbling! I get both these symptoms before af so could be pms

babydances · 05/08/2016 23:48

Yes I'm alright thanks gin. I'm just taking some time out for myself after being diagnosed with PTSD and I have to say not ttc has really taken the pressure off of dtd and it's been a lot more fun.
I feel very comfortable waiting till the Autumn as I need to just focus on me being ok as that's more important atm :)

Feeling pretty deflated. Had a temp drop this morning and just poas and get a very clear bfn. Nothing to even squint at. Holding on to a tiny thread that I'm 10dpo and there is still time but pretty sure I'm out :-(

Pyjamas81 · 06/08/2016 06:29

Same here misstiggi- except am 12dpo. Not even the faintest of lines. Also pretty deflated Sad

misstiggiwinkle · 06/08/2016 06:39

Of course now I can't stop going back to it and waving it under different lights in the hope of a shadow. Keep imagining things but really it's def neg.

Pyjamas why do we do this to ourselves?!

Pyjamas81 · 06/08/2016 06:45

Yep - mine is a record breaking stark white.

Sorry to hear about yours misstiggi Sad

Was our first real cycle of TTC so would have been mega lucky, but am still disappointed. From now on - every symptom is a sign of AF! And I may drop temping - stresses me out and doesn't actually tell me anything as I thought the trend was looking good. Only got my hopes up more!

McBaby · 06/08/2016 07:34

Sorry for the White tests this mornings even this early there is still time for a positive if you haven't got af.

My frer looks a bit darker today but I also have brown spotting and some cramping so don't want to get my hopes up still! Such a waiting game!

Daisy111 · 06/08/2016 07:50

Miwela and Cary
Hot flushes were my only symptom before my BFP. Kept waking up around 5 with the sweats. Fx for you!

sk1pper · 06/08/2016 08:33

Sorry for all those BFNs :(

Pyjamas - I didn't even know temping was a thing until I read this forum but I'm giving it a miss. As you say, just another thing to stress over.

No real symptoms for me this morning, now 8DPOand resisting to test. Nerves of steel! DH and I are taking a 4 hour round walking trip to town and back today, he's still trying to loose a bit more weight and it's a nice day anyway.

Fingers crossed for all those testing this morning xx

McBaby · 06/08/2016 09:19

Are any of you testing on Internet cheapies? If so retest on a different test here is my comparison from this morning!

August Bus
sk1pper · 06/08/2016 09:43

I've got those cheapies, worryingly they seem to not be as sensitive to HCG as branded tests.

Anyone had any success with the cheap tests before?

MishyBakes · 06/08/2016 09:54

BFN for me... Tested on the IC and the FRER, and there's zilch. Temp continues to drop too. CM and cervix position is doing mad things. Methinks I'll be heading to the September bus soon, and perhaps a cold turkey cycle.

Good luck to those testing. Yay McBaby! Looks good

Wibblewobble100 · 06/08/2016 10:47

So after Thursday drama of an FRER that took ages ( probably too long) to go positive this just happened. I am over the moon. However I do feel a bit crampy and like AF might be about to raise her ugly head so just keeping fingers crossed!!!

August Bus
Pyjamas81 · 06/08/2016 10:48

Looks good McBaby!

Sorry to hear about bfn for you mishy - it really sucks Sad

Could someone with more temping knowledge help me with my chart below? I had assumed I ovulated on CD20 as I got a static smiley face and super positive cheapie OPK on CD19 and felt a few pains (which may have been imaginary) - but looking at my temps I'm thinking it could have maybe happened later?

Oh I don't know - probably clutching at straws now Confused Wish we'd been taught all this stuff at school! Far more useful than sodding algebra!

Pyjamas81 · 06/08/2016 10:52

Sorry wibble - we were posting at same time and I didn't see your news! Congratulations!!!

McBaby · 06/08/2016 10:59

Congratulations wibble.

McBaby · 06/08/2016 11:02

Pyjamas I find that you have to trust what you think as well as relying on apps etc. I am sure ff always has my ovulation a day or two out as I get pains etc but at the end if a cycle I am usually right as my lp is the same length using my ovulation but would vary a lot using just ff.

Pyjamas81 · 06/08/2016 11:21

You're right McBaby! Going to try and stop obsessing and just see when AF shows and go from there.

danigrace · 06/08/2016 13:47

Welcome back Alb

Sorry to those with a frustrating bfn, it's not over til AF arrives.

Dances big hugs! That's great you're taking time for yourself and feeling more chilled Flowers

YAY Wibble! Congratulations!!

Pyjamas yes that's a tricky one. I stopped temping for a few months bc it was confusing me, just started again this month in the hopes it may ket me know if I've ovulated or not, but am ready to drop it again if I don't feel it's helped me!

miwelaisjacydo · 06/08/2016 14:46

Hello everyone . Feeling rather crap today I feel sick and knackered. Am also hot one minuet and not the next. I am about day 4/5 PO so have aggggees to wait to see if Af arrives or if I test.

Congrats wibble x
