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!)

Bless you, that sounds very unpleasant for you. Is there a walk in centre or out of hours doctor you could go to? Sounds like you might need some antibiotics. Sorry that you're having such a rubbish time. Hope you get some relief very very soon Flowers

TryingToStayRational · 19/08/2016 18:44

Yeah I'm feeling a bit more human today thanks!

Lulu298 · 19/08/2016 19:01

On no sk1pper. Would echo what trying has suggested about going to the docs and getting some antibiotics before heading out to Spain.

What CD are you on? You might miss a few days of SMEP-ing but you might not be out for this cycle. Big hugs

Thanks for all the help. I bit my pregnacare vitamin in two and took each half 3 hours apart, I've had some of that cystitis relief powder, drank some Yakult and literally drowned my insides with water. Feeling much much better. This forum is a life saver sometimes :) hoping I can get better before ovulation day now.

Anyone testing soon? Some of you were this weekend right?

lousylear · 19/08/2016 20:52

I'm cd 25. Was going to test this weekend but away with dp nowhere near any shops! Will be testing Monday morning.

ginandcake · 20/08/2016 12:25

Glad you are feeling better sk1pper, you to trying.

I've had a rubbish couple of days, have been feeling tired and generally a bit rubbish and have come out in a horrible itchy rash like hives which is keeping me up at night. Anyway decided to test today even though AF isn't due until tomorrow. Did a cheapie with my FMU which I was convinced had a line but DH was not so sure.

Went and got a clear blue and this is the result, came up within 2 mins, what do you think?

Theknittinggorilla · 20/08/2016 12:56

Just popped back to see how you were all doing - ginandcake that looks like a clear line to me!

sk1pper · 20/08/2016 13:58

Gin - definitely something there!

Eva30 · 20/08/2016 14:08

gin it's a line- congratulations!

Niks2026 · 20/08/2016 14:30

I can see something gin! Congrats!!

Bfn for me and lots more than spotting now. Not full af but definitely think I'm out. Just don't understand why my boobs have been so painful for the last 2 weeks and why I've felt so sick. Going to order some opks.

Gutted doesn't even come close. Going to have a hot bubble bath tonight, a big fat glass of wine and probably a little cry. Then on to next month. I'll stay on the August bus for another few days but then need to move on.

Goodluck to all still to test X

sk1pper · 20/08/2016 17:27

Niks - sorry to hear that, Your body was just messing with you it seems. Grr :(

Well I made it to Spain, OH and I have our own rooms with our own on suite so things are looking up for DTD. Not sure whether to just admit I missed a day and leave it for tonight's just to make sure the urine infections gone or just risk it. Nothing on my opk today anyway

Eva30 · 20/08/2016 17:57

Sorry niks. Sounds like a good plan for tonight though and a brand new cycle can start tomorrow.

lingo · 20/08/2016 18:22

I thought I was doing well not symptom spotting but feeling cramps today- fingers crossed it's implantation pain but I won't be testing until at least Thursday when AF is due. My CM has definitely changed to being milky in colour.

Keeping fingers crossed for those still on the August bus.

Lulu298 · 20/08/2016 19:18

Congrats gin! Hope the rash calms down soon.

Sorry to hear about the BFN niks. Wine and a bath sounds the right way forward.

Glad to hear you made it Spain sk1pper. Hope it's better weather than here - omg the rain today! I'm a bit of a wimp so would dodge DTD but if you feel better, you could see how it goes?

Off to a friend's birthday do tonight - whoop!

ginandcake · 20/08/2016 19:28

Thanks ladies, not really sunk in yet. Sorry to hear that Nik, but your plan for this evening sounds perfect. And there is no shame in having a cry.

Glad you make it safely to Spain Sk1pper. Not sure what I would do. If you're def feeling better I would go for it but just make sure you pee afterwards. The only risk though is that you make it worse.

Niks2026 · 20/08/2016 21:52

Glad you made it to Spain and you're feeling better skipper.
When were you due af gin?

Well it's all completely stopped now! Grr so frustrating! Never got the wine but did enjoy snuggles with my girls which is always guaranteed to make me smile and be thankful that I am so lucky to have them. And a big fat wispa bar! That always helps too :)
I've thought a lot today and i think the next cycle id really like to focus on eating healthier and getting to the gym more regularly so I can continue to work out when I do get that BFP. I've really let me fitness and diet slip lately and I noticed it today when my jeans were rather snug!

ginandcake · 20/08/2016 22:04

Your plan sounds very positive, but I don't think your out of this month yet! AF was due sometime between tomorrow and Wednesday. Only tested today because I has feeling so crappy.

sk1pper · 20/08/2016 22:09

Niks - do it! Seriously it's such a positive pro active thing to be doing and you'll feel so much better physically and mentally. And if you get your BFP, that's just an added bonus :)

Purplefairy21 · 20/08/2016 22:29

Congratulations gin :) Btw just out of curiosity do you know how many dpo you are? I really want to poas on Monday but I reckon it'll be too early (approx 8/9 dpo) I had positive opks last Saturday but negative Sunday Confused. Been telling myself I will not symptom spot or turn into crazy poas lady but been absolutely shattered the last couple of days, getting ratty/snappy and eating tons more than usual without thinking. And the sore boobs!! ShockBlush oweee! I don't want to get my hopes up in case it's just my body playing tricks on me or just very early af symptoms. I've got a ton of ics tho BlushGrin

ginandcake · 20/08/2016 22:38

I am 11 DPO today. Those symptoms all sound great, and all the symptoms I'm having at the moment! I'm not 100% convinced yet though, going to do another test in the morning!

Purplefairy21 · 20/08/2016 22:50

I'm cd22 today and about 6/7dpo. Not sure whether to count it from Saturday or Sunday last week. It's the really f-ing sore boobs that are making me wonder. Been about the last 3 days I've noticed em.

lousylear · 21/08/2016 07:54

My boobs are killing and I now feel nauseous too. I'm 12dpo. CD 26 of a 28 day cycle. Very tempted to buy a frer tomorrow.

sk1pper · 21/08/2016 18:38

Thanks to all the help my cystitis is pretty much gone so OH and I are back to the SMEP now. :) always awkward being in someone else's house during fertile week but o think we'll manage somehow. Been spending lots of time with his niece and nephew so getting very broody ha ha

Lulu298 · 21/08/2016 21:21

That's great news sk1pper. Smile

Did you take another test gin?
