September Bus

[juneybean]

Tentatively joining this bus...

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

Thanks @holyschmoly might investigate!

@CoconutGal That sucks. Hopefully something will happen one way or the other so you know where you stand

gerriberry nothing wrong with your chart but it does look a little erratic - do you temp at the same time each morning? You could download fertility friend which doesn't look as fancy as Ovia but will interpret it for you.

Thanks holyschmoly! Assuming I get AF this month I'm hoping it'll be heavier.

I'm on day 5 of flashing smileys

I don't think underarm temps are reliable / consistent enough. Try switching to oral temps next time

@McTufty, no I don't temp at the same time. I just temp as soon as I wake so will start setting an alarm to see if that helps!! Downloading Fertility friend now!! Thanks for your advice!! Xx

Migraine all day yesterday, which is as clear a sign as any that I'm out this cycle.

Family wedding then holiday next week, so think I'm going to give temping a miss. I'm not sure waking up so early every morning is good for my mental health.

I've ovulated every month since Jan, so not sure if temping has that much to offer right now. Any views?

And new deets are:

Age: 33
Ttc: 1
Cycle: 2

After months of temping I'd definitely jump at the chance to just shag for a month. It will do you the world of good.

Sorry I have a quick question about CM and a bit tmi before the MC whenever going into my fw the cm would generally bit a bit more than it is now (more visible than just when I wipe). Now atm (and I'm not holding out too much hope because of the generic spotting/bleeds) it's clear and seems to be stretchy (I'm sorry!) but it's only visible when I go to the bathroom. I'm taking a opk tomorrow morning, but in anyone's opinion, does it matter on the amount of CM present at all, or is it just the consistency that's important? For now I seemed to have stopped bleeding or have mixed blood in cm for only the last 4 days or so. When I took OPKs last week with the spotting they couldn't be anymore negative, I seemed to have just skipped a stage or something!

I think it's fine, better it's inside than on your knickers! But if you were worried you could try preeseed to add more liquid to help the swimmers!

@juney I think I'm maybe just used to one thing.

I have no clue what that is

It's a lube that is sperm friendly and makes it easier for the sperm to live and travel inside the body, increasing the chances of fertilisation!

@McTufty Oh I see. Thank you, I'll look into it

I bought preseed this month - looking forward to seeing if it leads to a lovely BFP!

My AF is being a pain & it's now stopped - last month this led to a 15 day period so dreading that happening again! 😩

I am so confused as to what my body is doing. I had left sided pain and EWCM a good few days ago which I took to be ovulation as that was about the right time in my cycle. I am now 5 days later and I EWCM again (which I normally wouldn't have) and I am really tender on my left hand side in a way that doesn't feel like normal ovulation pain. I genuinely have no idea what is going on

I'm really struggling with the 2ww right now 😩😭 how's everyone else doing? I feel really defeated for some reason 😞 xx

Hugs @vitadolce2015 !

The worst part about the two week wait is that it coincides with your hormones raging and you feel at your worst, even without the emotional turmoil of feeling completely out of control.

But give yourself a break - you've done all you can. Maybe try going for a walk? Or doing something to distract yourself.

Good luck - you'll be fine xx

Ps I'm just coming out of mine, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders

Hormones are the goddamn worst

It's tough isn't it vitadolce, only thing I can suggest is taking your mind off it by keeping yourself busy doing other things.
CD14 for me, usually ovulation around now but frustratingly no sign as yet.

What does it mean when you don't get any lines on an OPK? Not even a control line. I've had them before....was it a duff? Did I break it?!

@NimbleKnitter thank you ☺️ i was just thinking that! Definitely feels like hormonal blues and doesn't help that DP is working away so I'm by myself and missing him a lot too. I'm just getting cosy and getting an early night watching Grace and Frankie on Netflix 😂 !

Thanks as well @PinkBeetroot I hope you get some positive signs soon!!

Xx

meggiemoo if no control line it's a duff sadly!

I'm 5dpo and really down. Seems like an eternity to wait now

Thanks Caspiana! Literally peeing money down the loo then! 😂

@TheGrumpySquirrel me too. It sucks! Having a resurgence of horrid feelings about my mc in July as well. So sucky!! Really hope this time goes quickly !! Hopefully we'll see some more bfps soon it's always to encouraging!

What do we think of this? Nearly there? I may have just missed it as I haven't taken one over the last few days. I may have gotten a bit emotional over it as I've had super faints recently along with the spotting (seems to have stopped). Might also be because I'd now be 20 weeks so really I just want normality back which I didn't think I'd have this month. This is exhausting!
