August Bus -Jump aboard!

[Mamabooksbabynumber2]

Hi everyone, pretty certain I am out so thought I'd start the next bus for any of us who have had af arrive or like me got a bfn using a frer at 13dpo and certain af is imminenant.

Stats:

Ttc 2
Cycle 6
Bfp due 4th august

Welcome @Fia256! Welcome - sounds you are on the right bus! Best of luck! ☺️

Thanks @juneybean - I know, so stupid! I was jumping in the shower & before I knew it I was POAS - so silly. I am waiting now & won't do one until Friday at the earliest. Nightmare! Hope you're ok - you sound like you have some promising signs! 🤞

Thankyou @juneybean

I had a late miscarriage beginning of last month at 16 weeks, had AF 4 weeks later and this is my first proper cycle since! Had been temping and doing opks this month so almost certain AF is due to show on weds!

Finding myself becoming a serial tester already, so god help me and my bank account if it takes months to conceive again

Thankyou @LovePinaColada glad I've found the right one straight away

So sorry to hear of your MC @Fia256. 💐

Welcome @Fia256 sorry to hear about your MC. Hoping you get a BFP.

Hi everyone just waving a hello. I've been not obsessing or worrying about ttc. Focusing on other things instead to see if that makes a difference and also because I'm finding it very stressful otherwise.

We dtd on 3 out of 5 days in the fw. This is cycle 6 now.

Sending lots of baby dust to everyone

Welcome @Fia256. So sorry to hear about your mc. Hopefully BFP will come soon.

@juneybean it rose from low 70s to 83 when I had BFP and 84 day after. Felt like I was going to drop my hr was soooo high. Then dropped to high 70s until I had my d and c.
So overall rose by 10 throughout 2ww

Argh mine hasn't risen that much at all :( 1-2 bpm

Thankyou all, have found my coping mechanism is to just get straight back into ttc again!

Has anyone found how awful first response tests are with indent and evap lines?! They keep giving me false hope these last few days, in particular one I have done this evening!
I'm trying to not get my hopes up but I just know it's an indent as I've been doing this for the last couple of days now and if it was a positive, it would have changed by now!

I can't stop myself from using them though as interestingly, when I tested after my MC, I had a good clear positive the same day my hcg levels were taken and confirmed to be at just 9!!

Hello everyone. TTC #1 and in need of some advice. Have been TTC for around six months now. Last AF came on 27th June, which was three days early so threw me a bit! Up until then cycles had been spot on 30 days. Now on CD33. Have had the same sort of pains as I usually get with AF for a couple of days but no sign so far. Only other symptom is feeling a little lightheaded at times. Oh, and today burst into tears for no apparent reason! Although moving house soon so a bit stressed. Also haven't had a poo for a couple of days. Sorry tmi! And am very spotty all of a sudden.

I know it's time to do a test but don't want to be disappointed, especially as I wasn't convinced that we missed ovulation this month. Thinking maybe I should wait another few days?

Also, have been using cheapie OPKs, just did one and result was a very strong line. Does this mean anything?

Sorry for the essay, but would love to hear any thoughts.

Hope everyone is well and wishing you all lots of luck xx

was convinced we missed ovulation!

@juneybean
I think that might just be what my hr is like though. The rise was similar last month too. And dipped by 2 Bol when af came. So it may just be me and how my hr is.

@missymay83
I'd be testing by now. Maybe worth it tomorrow morning?

missmay83 I'm also on cd33, with similar symptoms to you. It's difficult to know if they mean anything. It's my 1st cycle and I've not tracked it before so I'm not sure what's my 'normal'. I think I'm going to test in the morning! X

Thanks Sophiathesecond19 and IntelligentPutty. Have had some HPTs in the drawer for months but haven't used one yet as AF have arrived like clockwork every month so far. Also not sure as I know a lot of the symptoms could also be down to stress! I think am going to try and hold off until tomorrow evening. sophia when I first started tracking I had been on the pill for 15 years so had no idea what my cycles should be, but they seemed to settle in to regular 30 days pretty quickly. But then last month AF came early and was mega painful, but maybe that was just a one off. This whole thing is so confusing!

Thinking of starting at the gym. But what if I do and that messes up my cycles / chance of conceiving. What does anyone think. I'm not too overweight (wrong side of a size 12 just).... but would be good to feel good and get back to gym. Will it screw up my cycles though!?

Hello ladies, mind if I join...?

Counting down to AF, who is due Tuesday if I keep to my 28 day norm. Have tested Thursday (negative) and again today.

Today's test looked negative after a couple of minutes, but when I went back to check 20-30mins later (I know, I know!?!) it had a thread-thin blue line off to the right of where the positive line should be. I'm assuming it's an evap line and I've checked too late.

Trying to hold out till tomorrow or Tuesday to try again; but WHY is it so difficult....? :-D

Hi everyone just wanted to check in 👋🏻 Hope you're all ok, I will be entering the dreaded 2ww soon so will probably be back on here a bit more regularly! Sending everyone baby dust!

Commencing the 2WW..

Morning all.

@missymay83 I think you should test in the morning as that is when your HCG levels are strong. I think - could be wrong - that by the evening they will have dropped.

@IntelligentPutty go to gym. It's so good for ones stress levels that I honestly believe (unless you doing something out of the norm) that exercise will do you wonders.

@pixieinlove thanks.
I think I'll give it a go. Start easy and will make for happier me if nothing else!

@missymay83 I would take a test this morning for sure, fingers crossed for you!

@PineapplePrincess same advice to you, take another test this morning...preferably a pink dye test if you have one but tbh a thin blue line after the allowed time does sound like an evap

I'm 7DPO and my temp it's the highest it's ever been in the last 7 months of my temping trying not to read too much in to it...I don't normally continue temping at this point in my cycle so it could be that it's normally this high and I just don't realise, or it could be because I had unbroken sleep (I can't really understand why that would make such a big difference though?!) anyway, not getting my hopes up! I don't really have any other symptoms to speak of, I've had lots of aching in my uterus area but it's hard to distinguish what's uterus and what could be intestines, I've also had it since 1dpo so I can't see how it's anything pregnancy related.

Glad to be back at work today to take my mind off things!

I'm definitely going to be out this month now I think! Temp gone down, another bfn, and a bit more spotting. Just wish af would hurry up now!

I'm now 9DPO and trying to hold out until Saturday to test. I have slight cramping, sensitive boobs and the worst backache. Why is it that most symptoms are identical to PMT? Nature is cruel sometimes!
