September Bus

[juneybean]

Tentatively joining this bus...

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

Sorry to hear more AF's have arrived today! Sorry to hear sadness - it's so hard isn't it! I much better now than I was the first time & am actually pleased when AF arrives so I can just crack on again.

The next cycle (I am writing myself off this month) I am going to get OPK's & Preseed. I feel good when I back some change each month - does anyone have a link to the OPK cheapies of Amazon please?

@lovepinacolada (amazing name) www.amazon.co.uk/One-Step-Sensitive-Ovulation-Fertility/dp/B001G7STT0/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1504292842&sr=1-2&keywords=one+step+ovulation+test&tag=mumsnetforum-21

Thanks so much @hellotoyellow - will take a look & order now! Is the idea to do one every day? I see some people do - thanks!

Hehe! I drew a blank when it came to creating my username!

Definitely not an expert. But have been doing this spermmeetseggplan.com/smep-step-by-step/

Am only 3 dpo and already am feeling really negative :( don't know why as I didn't feel that I was too invested in it happening this month

Welcome @hellotoyellow

Those are the opks I've been using. There's a little chart on the leaflet that tells you what CD day to start testing depending on your cycle length. Last cycle I started on CD 8. I tested once a day and the advice is to test in the afternoon - fmu gives inaccurate results and isn't advised.
When I started getting a faint second line (which is still neg) I started doing one at lunchtime and then one when I got home from work to see if I could catch the surge.
I got my surge CD15 last month. I'll be interested to see if it's the same this month

Happy Friday night!

I'm lying in bed hugging ice packs to my boobs because they hurt so much. F*ck you progesterone

Party party!

I'm on my way to the hospital as my mum has been sent for an emergency ecg

Ahhh thanks @Steaksauce for the fab instructions! I have ordered along with preseed so I am all prepped!

If I don't get my BFP on the 4th, my next BFP isn't due until 8th October - but am I allowed to stay here ladies?!

@Steaksauce, Hope your mum is ok xxx

You better stay here love I still vote for a mumsnet bus instead of a monthly bus!

Hope everything is okay steak xx

@Steak I hope your mum is okay!

Thanks @juney I will stay firmly put!

Thanks @Janefx40, I'd love to hear how you get on with acupuncture. There seems to be a place near me (NE) that specialises in fertility therapies like acupuncture and reflexology, but I'm not sure if I'm a bit premature as it's only our 3rd month trying.

@McTufty I think we're on another thread together. I've been taking raspberry leaf tea (up to the week of expected ovulation) and pomegranate juice, wearing slippers after expected ovulation and generally keeping myself and my feet warm. I haven't been taking royal jelly or that, but I might try that. Did you start baby aspirin from day 1? Do you take it the whole way through your cycle?

@juneybaby I'm up for a general Mumsnet bus, it's a bit shitty moving onto another one before it even starts.

@Steaksauce sending good thoughts and hope all is ok with the ecg.

Totally missed your earlier comment @Steaksauce - sending good vibes.

Girls due on in 4 days, know I'm bad for Poas before af due but couldn't help it my boobs are in agony and I had to pee at 4am which never happens.......what do you think? Can you see a shadow of a line?

Aaaaaaaand AF has arrived 2 days early! I am getting better at the no BFP sadness but now I am just annoyed that I have another horrendous AF to deal with!

But - my Preseed & OPK sticks arrived today - so on to Cycle 4!

I do see something @MacDJ - but is hard to tell as it's flooded. Can you test with a FRER tomorrow morning?

@MacDJ maybe a teensy shadow?? Hard to tell though xx

@Steaksauce hope you're ok sending hugs xx

Deffo going to get a frer but think it'll be Monday before ill get it as none of the local shops stock them xx

Ooh @holyshmoly I'm NE too... I'd be interested in the details of the alternative therapies place you've heard of

xx Our Spreadsheet xx

Updated to say Mumsnet Bus 2017 instead of September

Thanks @juneybean - fab idea & thanks so much with your spreadsheet work!

I am Cycle 4 & BFP is due 5th August!
