August Bus

[babydances]

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!)

Dani - what kind of blood? Colour/consistency etc.

First day of SMEP today. OH wanted to DTD yesterday and I was like "nope it has to be tomorrow". I don't know how he puts up with me ha ha.

Dani I have no idea what that could be. Very random. You're right to monitor it though. Do you use a period tracker app or fertility app? Maybe by inputting that info it could give you some answers??
Lousy I'm the same! My first DD I didn't know I was pregnant as was battling a hormone imbalance for 18 months and when I did poas I was already 8 weeks pregnant! With 2nd DD I had 2 bfns the day af was due and the day after. Didn't get a BFP until 3 days late! I'm cd27 but have 31/32 day cycles the last couple of months so my ovia app is telling me to test Monday. But if I can I want to hold out til next Wednesday.
I feel pregnant too. Nauseous, very sore boobs, everything tastes different and very emotional. I just need to know now. This 2ww has felt soo long!

Niks - I'm the same, nauseous, uterus aching, sore boobs, tired all the time, spots (always spotty when pg) strong sense of smell. Ovia says I can test Tues. I won't wait that long! Lol

Lousy i just had some pink spotting :( I don't remember if I had that on the lead up to my other pregnancies but I know I get it on the lead up to af :( don't know whether to go get some frer tests or just try and sit tight. I'm so nervous it'll get bfn it's making me feel sick!

The spotting could be left over blood from implantation. Don't give up yet. Test tomorrow with me. Have you got some cheap ones you could use first?

Fingers crossed for you Niks, it's not over til you get proper AF! You too Lousy

Lol Skipper, I told my OH these are your minimum requirements anything else has to be extra, not instead of

Well I'm CD21, FF says 5dpo but looking at my chart could be 6dpo. Certainly not 2 weeks po anyway. When I've had periods in the past (inc. the one I just had ad the start of this cycle) I normally get quite unpleasant cramping for 2/3 days before it arrives, no spotting beforehand, just all-of-a-sudden carnage on day 1, with heavy bright red bleeding day 1 & 2, medium day 3, then lighter bleeding/spotting days 4 and 5 which is mostly brown with a little bit red, not very much much but still enough to need a pad. What I have today is like day 4/5 period. No prior warnings, just a shock this morning!! Sooo confused

Temps still up also

My boobs are killing me now.

Not sure Dani to be honest, could be spotting for period but seems a bit early after your positive OPK. Also too early for implantation bleeding really but everyone's different...but maybe your cycle is still not quite there yet with its regularity etc. I don't think you should be worried, just monitor it and keep note which I'm sure you do anyway.

Lousy - that made me laugh, you sound grumpy about your boobs. Hopefully it's a sign :)

I'm CD22 and symptom-spotting like an eejit this cycle. Boobs feel massive and tender, appetite through the roof, generally feel a bit bloated and rubbish. Keep telling myself I've felt like this before and it came to nothing (this is cycle 7) but of course that doesn't stop me imagining things. I'm probably just tired from staying up too late watching the Olympics!

Good luck to all testing soon. I'm going to try to hold out for AF which might be another week yet but it's easier said than done. The waiting is just soooo annoying.

Lousy I hope you're right. I bought a clearblue digital this afternoon which says accurate from 4 days before expected period.
I'm getting lots of twinges in my boobs and my nipples are so sore. I think I'm going to wait til Saturday though. Maybe Friday :)

I'm gonna test every day from tomorrow using my cheap ones! Until AF anyway!

It's all getting a bit exciting isn't it??! Good luck guys with your testing.

I had another big EWCM today which seems odd as I had an earlier dose on Friday so 6 days ago. What is going on???!

Does anyone know whether it really is worth being upside down after DTD? I read online you should do it for half an hour but I can only do it for 10 mins before the blood rushes to my head. Doesnt seem to prevent any more of it coming out...if you know what I mean...ugh my life is strange right now :D

Just stay lying down for 10 mins. Put your bum on a pillow. Try raising your legs.

It's is getting exciting, let's hope there's lots of BFPs in the next two weeks. Ovia says I can test in 4 days and it's driving me crazy. Boobs are so sore and my nipples are itchy! What's that about??

I have never tried it sk1pper other than just lying on my back for a while. Not sure how much it helps but it can't hurt, think ten mins seems fine.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that anything that comes out after DTD is unnecessary stuff and that all the good stuff just stays in and that 10 mins lying still is fine. And that you should definitely wee at some point afterwards to flush out any unwanted things!

My ovia says test in 4 days too gin. Don't think I can wait til then. I reckon I'll test Saturday with my clearblue. My nipples are so sore. The right one especially. And it seems darker in colour?!?

Just taken my bra off to put my pjs on and my boobs are so sore and heavy. I don't mind if it means I am actually pregnant but if I'm not, this pain is ridiculous. They've not been this painful since I had my DD which makes me think I am but then with the odd spotting it makes me think I'm not. Just need to know a clear straight answer now. The next 4 days are going to drag :(

BFN this morning.

Sorry lousy but it's not over yet, keep testing till AF

Morning all do you mind if I join you? I've been lurking for a while so thought I should be polite and say hello
I'm 34, on cycle 2 of ttc#3, think around 6dpo. Very lucky to conceive first two straight away but now starting to appreciate the madness that is the 2ww. Full respect and sympathy to those of you who have been trying for a while, really hope this is your month.
Cycle really weird this month as have basically had what I originally thought were ov pains but which haven't stopped for 6days. Also a bit sickly since 3dpo but seems far too early for pg signs so now worried something is wrong or this is now what my hormones are going to do to me each month. Gp thinks it's probably a one off thing that will sort itself out once af arrives. Def not pregnant from last cycle so who knows.
It's exciting to see so many people testing soon, FX for you all. I most definitely have not started testing yet as that would make me crazy person

I will be testing again tomorrow. CD25 today so still early. Just getting impatient in my old age!

Welcomed mildmannered!
