September Bus

[juneybean]

Tentatively joining this bus...

Age: 32
TTC: #1
Cycle: #10 (ugh!)
BFP due: 2nd September

@juneybean essential oils also not encouraged. I forget where I saw that.

Might have to give up cleaning (shucks)

@juneybean it seems to be just springtime and winter garden flavours. But I really doubt it does. I think that is just the safety information for each ingredient. You'd probably have to mainline it for it for affect your fertility.

I just booked my first fertility acupuncture session for Friday (yay!)

I also have my FSH, LH and AMH tests on Thursday and am bricking it - especially about AMH. Eeek!

Can't concentrate. TTC is a full time job - wish you could get paid TTC leave x

Hello!

I'm so late to the party but can I join?? This is my first bus 😬

Long shot as we only dtd once and 3 days before OV as DP is working away...but I'm hoping anyway 😂

Age: 28
TTC #1
Cycle 1 post MC
BFP due 12th sept

Good luck all

Xx

I can't concentrate either @janefx40 - here is my level of crazy today. I've got a bit of a painful tummy today, and DH does too so we're suspecting something we ate. I'm 100% sure I have trapped wind movements, but it reminds me of when I was pregnant with DS and I'm convinced it's some sort of sign.
The rational part of me knows I'm not growing a mutant baby that kicks me before conception can be detected

Welcome vita, don't worry Fia was 3/4 days before over and got her BFP!!

I'll definitely stop cleaning if it's bad for my fertility!

I feel really down today. I think af is coming as have started getting the tell tale dull ache today.

Found out this woman at work is pregnant today. We used to be in the same team but she started well after me. When we were both in line to be made redundant we went for the same job which she got. She's 7 years younger than me. She got engaged days after I did but married months before. She's just got promoted to the same level as me. And is stunningly beautiful (a man actually crashed his car once because he was so busy staring at her as she walked down the street)

And now she's pregnant. I feel like such an old, fat frumpy failure....

The logical side of me knows I'm being daft (only 2nd month trying ffs) but I just feel so low.
I might have a pizza tonight seeing as I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Welcome vita!

I'm liking this "I can't clean when TTC" thing. That's GOLD!

Ah that sounds utterly shit steak but you know it might no be all rosy in her life. I always try to remind myself of that when I'm going around (I don't always take my own advice though).

Paid TTC leave & no cleaning - how amazing! 😂

@steaksauce god she sounds nauseating !! It's really hard not to look around at other people isn't it. My best friend from school just have birth, we were pregnant at the same time when I had my MC and it was really tough not to feel bitter. I'm trying to remain zen this time!! You'll get your bfp soon! Pizza sounds like a good plan!!

Xx

Thanks @juneybean I know exactly what you mean and I am telling myself that (husband said the same thing) I always feel proper shit about everything when I'm due on so I think that's a big part of it but yeah she could have been trying for months and months. I need to stop being childish and jealous. Thanks as well @vitadolce2015 it sounds like that but she's perfectly lovely, she never brags or anything it's all me turning it into something it's not. I'll get over it I guess... I appreciate the kind words though

Sorry to hear about your MC vita, hopefully your bfp is just round the corner

@Steaksauce i hope so! It's a long shot but keeping my fingers crossed ! Bring on my TWW 😩 gaaaaah

Hope you're enjoying some pizza!

Welcome @vitadolce2015

Yes I got my bfp yesterday and we definitely only DTD 3 days before i ovulated (confirmed with opks and temps so I'm certain of the day)

I had a horrible scare earlier, got a close to bfn on a frer after two bfps. Sat and sobbed, had a strop over it and convinced myself it was over before it had even begun. Went out like a crazed woman and bought more frers and thankgod the next one which was taken with very diluted urine was the clearest bfp so far so must of had a dodgy test!! Could still turn into a chemical but I'm praying it doesn't! Hoping tomorrow morning it's a nice clear bfp again

@Fia256 that sounds horrible! Sounds like it was just a dodgey test. Let us know how you get on tomorrow!! Xx

Morning ladies how're we all doing??

Congratulations @Fia256! So encouraging that you only dtd once before ovulation, really does go to show that it only takes one! Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy

I'm due AF either Friday or Saturday. I think it's Friday, FF thinks it's Saturday. I had been feeling positive about this cycle as I've had lots of twinges in my pelvis area and have felt bloated on and off, and also had a crazy sore left nipple (only the left one 😂😂) but I did an IC yesterday and it was BFN so that suggests the things I'm feeling are PMT symptoms rather than pregnancy symptoms. Boobs less sore today which matches my usual pattern so I think I can expect AF on time. Only good thing at the moment is that my temperature is still going up but mine often continues to rise right up to the morning of AF so again that doesn't mean much 😒

Thought I'd add a picture of my chart for those of you who are interested in temping, I know I always like looking at other people's!
I think I ovulated on the second day of positive OPK rather than the day after because I had really bad Ovulation pains that day. FF obviously thinks it was the day after because of my low temp!

@Fia256 congrats on the bfp! Sorry about the scary test - seems to have just been a blip tho.

The only time I think we actually fertilised an egg (I think I had a chemical) we only did it once 3 days before also!

Sat waiting for my LH and FSH test wishing I'd asked the Dr for prolactin and various others too. If we go for IVF will have to have them all done again now as there are extras that I've not had. I seem to get this wrong time and again. Ah well x

Congrats @Fia256 love seeing BFP and also so hopefully that you only did it once 

@Janefx40 Good Luck with the test results interested to find out what they come back as.

Huge congrats @Fia256! How exciting - love seeing a BFP.

Congratulations Fia! Wonderful news.

Good luck with the tests jane, let us know how you get on!

passmethewine chart looks great! You know your body so ignore me but maybe FF is right you Od before CD20 because you only get the temp spike after O? Either way to have a rising bbt at 9dpo can't be bad

Welcome vita!

Sorry about the baby bomb steaksauce, I'm sure it will be your turn soon

I got a flashing smiley today, cd11. It was cd 14 last month with a static on CD20 and O on cd21. We are looking to bring that forward this cycle (as apparently my short luteal phase is related to late ovulation) so I suppose an earlier flashing smiley is a good start, though it may just mean 10 days of flashing

So still so confused about what is happening with my cycle. Implantation or start of a period ?!? Yesterday had Brown spotting only once. Same thing today. POAS this morning and it was negative. I have the worst cramps ever (maybe they are AF pains without the AF). I had the Copper T removed three cycles ago so maybe it's my body coming right although my Gynea said there would be no adjustment, as the Copper T doesn't affect hormones. I've never experienced period pains before so this pain is all new to me. And as much as I would love to take a pain killer I'm still hopeful it's implantation.
Keep going to the bathroom to see if AF has really started - but nothing now. Usually I would spot 2 days prior to AF but it would be pink not brown and I would have no pain at all.
If it was implantation surely I wouldn't have such bad pains?

@pixielove123 my best friend got really bad implantation cramps - she thought it might be appendicitis.

It's so hard to tell. It could still be too early for a bfp anyway.

Sorry you are in pain and fingers crossed for implantation rather than a painful period.

Thanks @Janefx40 that sounds hopeful!

My implantation on DS2 was v severe. Hospital suspected kidney stones and blood clots as I wasn't ttc at the time
