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!)

Yes I did, and it was positive again so DH now believes it!

Glad you're feeling better sk1pper

TryingToStayRational · 21/08/2016 21:39

Congrats Gin, hope you get a stronger positive tomorrow too

Glad to hear you're feeling better Skipper

Hope you are somehow still in the game, Niks, but if you're not then you won't be alone - AF got me today. Earlier than expected as well. Feeling pretty fed up and worn out.
I'm also going to try to focus on healthy eating and exercise the next few weeks, as much for my mental health as anything - I feel this whole process is really starting to get me down and I need to find better ways to chill. So won't be around for a while.

Good luck all testing soon!

Niks2026 · 21/08/2016 22:03

Sorry to hear af got you trying. I'm still floating around. Af has not appeared and spotting is still very little and intermittent. Still sore boobs and nauseous. Af is due tomorrow at the latest (cd32) so will probably test Tuesday or Wednesday if still nothing.

Fab news gin!!

Glad you're feeling better skipper. Enjoy your holiday and hopefully lots of baby dancing Wink

Bfn with ic this morning using fmu. Might go and buy a frer.

lousylear · 22/08/2016 07:01

Very strange as now on cd28 and have loads of symptoms. Boobs doubled in size (even dp commented yesterday) nipples sore and darker, feel nauseous, hungry and weeing constantly. Uterus feels bloated and full if that makes sense. Been a long time since I last ttc but I'm pretty sure this is how I feel every time I'm pg.

Niks2026 · 22/08/2016 08:05

Oh my gosh, of my gosh, oh my gosh!!!

Cd32 for me and I think I just got a BFP!! It is the faintest line and it does not show in a picture! I wasn't going to test but I woke up bursting for a wee and boobs were soo twingey. I thought it was negative at first and went back to it and there's a very light line.
With my dd2 I didn't get a positive until I was a couple of days late.
Don't quite believe it yet. Will test with a clear blue either tomorrow or Wednesday to be sure. I feel pretty crampy so really really not sure?! Hmm

cakesandphotos · 22/08/2016 08:48

Can I join? I know I'm a bit late to hope on! DH and I TTC for 6 months then gave up with a view to start again is September. However, I've had some weird feelings and moods the last couple of weeks and now AF is 3 days late so I think I'll text this week. I could be an August BFP after all!
I'm 27, TTC #1 cycle 8

sk1pper · 22/08/2016 08:55

Gin - congratulations!! So happy for you :D

Trying - yeah I've found focusing my attention on my mental and physical health really does take the stress of testing and the 2ww etc. Definitely a good thing to be doing.

Niks - make sure to test tomorrow, do you have a cheapy you can use if you want to save the clear blue? Fx for you xx

Cakes - hey and welcome :) good luck for you too

ginandcake · 22/08/2016 11:47

Thanks sk1pper.

How exciting Niks, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Niks2026 · 22/08/2016 16:25

I've just bought a couple more tests so will test again tomorrow morning. Feeling so sick!

lousylear · 22/08/2016 16:48

I have been pregnant 5 times before and this time feels exactly the same. We dtd every other day and every day in my fertile week. However I have had bfn on cd27 and 28. I stupidly used a frer this afternoon which was also neg. Is there any point testing tomorrow morning (AF due) ? Would I be better leaving it til Wednesday assuming AF doesn't arrive.

Niks2026 · 22/08/2016 16:58

Lousy if you can I'd wait til Wednesday. After each bfn I've waited a day at least before testing again. This mornings looked like a very faint positive so I will test again tomorrow. At what point did you get your BFPs with your others?

lousylear · 22/08/2016 17:19

I was younger then and never tested til I was late so prob a day or two after expected AF as I'm pretty regular. I obviously had more patience then. It was 9+ years ago! I agree, I don't see how it's going to change much from this aft til tomorrow morning. I have one frer left, I'll have to hide it!

Lulu298 · 22/08/2016 22:09

Yay gin! And eek niks! Hope it's a bolder BFP tomorrow. Smile

Welcome cakes. Are you going to test?

Niks2026 · 23/08/2016 07:03

Ok I'm freaking out a little Shock the line is darker than yesterday!! Oh my goodness, this doesn't seem real!
I woke up needing a wee at 3.30am but managed to hold on and go back to sleep. My boobs are so sore and I'm feeling very sick and shaky.

Definitely a line Niks! Congratulations!!

I'm going to test tomorrow lulu I don't want to set myself up for disappointment again

lousylear · 23/08/2016 07:14

Congrats Niks. I'm similar to you, massive boobs now (doubled in size) really painful. Feel sick and backache too. Hungry and thirsty all the time. Hoping these are good signs. Cd29 today. Testing again tomorrow, got bfn yesterday.

Eva30 · 23/08/2016 08:02

Congrats niks and good luck for testing lousy!

lousylear · 23/08/2016 10:18

When do you guys think I Ovulated? I thought it was around cd12-15 but someone said it looks like cd 23. This would explain my bfn I suppose.

sk1pper · 23/08/2016 18:59

Niks - congratulations :D

Lousy - really unsure, could be either...

OH and I just went for an insane 15km walk in Spain. Although we left at half 5 in the evening we didn't quite anticipate how hot it would still be. Went into a regional park, all uphill and didn't see a soul which I love. At least we were sensible to take a ton of water.

Purplefairy21 · 23/08/2016 20:36

Niks - congratulations Smile
I'm on cd25 and have turned into a poas crazy lady. Even though I know they'll be bfn ovia says test in 3 days time. I've got sore swollen boobs to the point my bras no longer fit Blush I'm getting ratty and impatient, been an emotional tired wreck today. To the point ds told me to calm down today, i shouted at him cos he had a tantrum and just lay down and had a full blown tantrum because his grandad left with his cousin in the pissing rain and I couldn't lift him up cos my back has flared up worse than usual. Cue us both howling Confused I've been a lot more tired /fatigued the last few days. And I've been eating like a horse Hmm I just want to know! Really hope my body isn't playing tricks on me HmmSadFace palm moment

lousylear · 23/08/2016 20:42

I really feel pg now. Absolutely no sign of AF. Going to test with frer in the morning. And again Friday and Monday if necessary. By then should have enough HCG for test to pick up. If I O when I think I did then AF was due today. If the later date then AF due next Monday. Either way a frer should pick HCG up at some point. I have every single pg symptom now, as I did with my previous pgs. My boobs are massive and so heavy/painful!

Lulu298 · 23/08/2016 21:53

Congrats niks - whoop whoop!

That walk sounds epic sk1pper! Did you get some good views?

Has anyone had greeny/yellow CM before? I had some yesterday (CD22) and had some last month on CD24. Can't remember having it before but wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to it before TTC.

Eva30 · 24/08/2016 05:17

lousy is the blue line temp? I wouldn't say it was ov on day 15 because no increase? Fertility friend only confirms ov after a temp rise for 3 days after. Do you take temps consistently? Do you have previous charts to compare to?
purple good signs, good luck for testing!
skipper what an epic walk, sounds lovely! Are you in the tww?
cakes fx for testing
