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

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

Ttc no 2

Knitting congratulations 😊

sk1pper · 10/08/2016 10:23

Lousy - I've had a weird weird month for symptoms. Had sore boobs and queasiness a week after ovulation. But now feel how I normally do before AF. I swear it's my body's idea of a cruel joke.

CloudPirate · 10/08/2016 10:37

knitting congrats!

I'm trying not to test yet and slowly losing my marbles

I was going to be soooo calm and relaxed this month, as I thought the chances were so low, but 2 days away from AF being due and I'm symptom spotting like mad (or rather, getting excited about the lack of AF symptoms).

Am determined not to test til after AF due, and ideally I'd want to wait until next Tue as DH working away til then and I don't want to find out without him, but I have no idea how I'll manage it Hmm

Hello everyone
I had a mc nearly 3 weeks ago and have been actively dtd ever since I stopped bleeding! According to opks I ovulated yesterday however I couldn't dtd as my partner was away. I did have sex all 4 days before ovulation, so does anyone know if I could've still gotten pg? I'm testing Aug 26, anyone else?

danigrace · 10/08/2016 10:56

Thanks ladies Smile. Also - loving the yoga love!!

Welcome Lulu

Miwela enjoy your day, sounds lovely

Skipper how are you? Spotting stopped?

Gorilla ooh woweee! Congratulations!!

Welcome Lizzie so sorry for your loss Flowers Sperm can live up to 3-5 days in the right fertile conditions (the days leading up to ov) so it's certainly possible.

I don't have a planned test date yet - first I'm waiting for my temps to let me know if I've ovulated or not...Currently on CD14

sk1pper · 10/08/2016 12:21

Dani - Yep still spotting and stomach cramps now. AF due Friday but there's no way I'm pg unless implantation bleeding feels exactly the same (which I doubt). I'm not surprised, but very disappointed and obviously feeling quite low now, though PMS will not help with that. I'll stick around in the August bus for a while but I think I'll have to go to the September bus soon.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to test!!

Lulu298 · 10/08/2016 12:39

Congrats gorilla!

Niks2026 · 10/08/2016 16:32

Lizzie I'm trying to hold testing til the 26th. Af due 22nd but cycle can be known to be a couple of days longer so waiting u til the end of that week.
Keeping everything crossed for you. Cloud and skipper. I agree skipper the ovia app can be quite interpretive and get your hopes up.

sk1pper · 10/08/2016 17:07

Niks - thanks I'll give Ovia a miss for now then. And be brave and hold off with your testing, I know it's tempting but think of the money you'll save :)

Well AF is here, two days early. The first variation in my cycle since I started trying. I'm heading over to the September bus but I'll keep an eye on the August bus too, want to know how you all get on :) hugs for all

Hello everyone I'm a long time lurker and never thought I'd be the type to start to lose my mind over ttc but here I am. I have a ds whose 6 (I know big gap) and am finally ready to start to think about number 2 I came off the pill (cerelle) 4 weeks ago and had no bleeding whatsoever so finally took a test today and think I can see a line please help I'm going nuts testing I must have taken 6 already today clear blue digital negative fr with lines as iv had no bleeding iv no idea when or if iv ovulated. All you ladies seem to be knowledgable and supportive please give me your opinions on this picture.

Theknittinggorilla · 10/08/2016 18:17

Looks like a clear line to me congratulations!

Niks2026 · 10/08/2016 18:22

I can see a line! It may not have shown on a digital because it is quite faint and you need a certain level of hcg to show a definite positive. I'd say that's definitely a line meaning a BFP!

Dietcokeandpizza10 · 10/08/2016 18:23

I'm so desperately trying to not get too excited I had my head stuck on the idea of it taking 2/3 months to even it being a possibility. Il do another test in the morning seems to good to be true. Fingers crossed for everyone Smile

Dietcokeandpizza10 · 10/08/2016 18:30

Congratulations gorilla Flowers

Niks2026 · 10/08/2016 18:59

I'm only 3-4 days past ovulation and I'm having lots of cramps and lots of creamy cf. boobs quite tender too. Cannot believe I've got at least 10 days before I can test. And was hoping to wait til the 26th!!

Allium40 · 10/08/2016 21:04

Definitely possible Lizzie!

Congrats Diet! x

danigrace · 10/08/2016 21:27

Skipper so sorry AF arrived, best of luck on the Sept bus. Do still stick around though!!

Niks symptoms sound good! Stay strong!!

DietCoke Welome! That looks positive to me! Do another with your first morning urine tomorrow & see if it's any darker. My friend had 6 days of supermarket cheapie positives before the clear blue digi finally said pg for her.

sk1pper · 10/08/2016 22:14

Diet - welcome, you need to retest a few times to be sure but I can definitely see a line :)

Dani - did you get any more +OPKs? I assume you are still keeping your hospital appointment? Worth still going even though your body's starting to readjust.

danigrace · 10/08/2016 22:41

Skipper no I didn't - I did 2 yday (the day after that one I posted) one lunchtime & one evening after holding my bladder, both had lines but not as dark as the one I posted a pic of. And today no line at all.
I'll definitely keep my appointment - but whether I ask for clomid or ask to just come back in a couple of months I think will depend on whether or not my temps over the next week say ovulation occurred.

beachsands · 10/08/2016 22:45

Congrats to the BFPs! Regarding OPKs mine never went darker than the control but I still conceived so they're not the be all and end all. I'm due AF on the 16th. I've tested twice already (the shame!!!). On my last two pregnancies I had an awful cold during the tww and none so far so will try not get ahead of myself.I just love to poas!

sk1pper · 11/08/2016 03:23

Dani - I don't think you should be getting it darker than the test line, I can manage it some months but normally my tests are similar to yours so nothing to worry about.

Beach -you're symptom spotting but your being critically sensible with them, and that's what matters.

Well I'm up at 3am, AF is being a right bitch this month. I nearly made this mistake of taking Anadin Extra again, nothing like a boost from caffeine pills to keep you up all night. Thankfully I stopped myself and took paracetamol instead, hoping the pain will die down soon.

miwelaisjacydo · 11/08/2016 06:04

Sk1pper oh poor you.
Diet I think i see a line 😄
Soooo thought I poas this morning a little early but never mind. But the test I took had other ideas! Was a dud. Nothing came up after the three mins.

Yesterday was great I loved the day I had.

sk1pper · 11/08/2016 07:10

Miwelaisjacydo - urg that's so annoying, what does that mean? Can you take it back :D

Dietcokeandpizza10 · 11/08/2016 08:03

Could it actually possibly be?! Eek! Il do another digital tomorrow before I get too excited. I have to take my hat off to you fellow passengers on this bus iv been going nuts and it's only been a few days of testing and no opks. How is everyone today?

Dietcokeandpizza10 · 11/08/2016 08:04

This morning
