September Bus

[juneybean]

Tentatively joining this bus...

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

Two days until my period is due. No symptoms other that the abscence of wanting to cry which I normally get just before I start but I wouldn't put too much on that. Just waiting to see if AF arrives and I guess I will test if not

@moomoo85 we're due at the same time! I have more exaggerated pms rage than usual and a few twinges but other than that nothing ! Just have to wait and see 😑 don't know if I'm regular or not after my mc though so it's a totally unknown quantity !

I've decided I'm not testing again until Weds unless AF shows up. The BFNs are getting me down. Hate the waiting, if I'm not pregnant I just need it to be CD1 so I can start planning for the next cycle rather than being in this limbo. Stupid body

So my period is sometime this week and I have weird pains on one side of my hip and further along. I think ive worked out that even if the little guys did meet at all it'll probably be too late to implant which is a shame. I'll just be 99.9% expecting AF and hopefully won't be gutted

Ok.. I am only 3 days post OV and I am struggling with my POAS addiction.. I am hoping the obessive thoughts will be kept at bay as of tomorrow when I am back at work and working like a slave keeping busy. Keep telling myself I wont test until next Sunday when I will be 10 days post OV.. reality will likely be I cave by Thursday.. thank god for internet cheapies otherwise it could get extremely expensive

to those who have got their BFP and to those who haven't.. Finally got a positive OPK yesterday (a week later than expected) so now entering the two week wait. Fingers crossed!

Still no AF here but tests are negative so not holding out any hope, just want it to hurry up so I can move on

Me too Grumpy, didn't even bother testing this morning, I'd rather AF just came than see another BFN

Well I'm now in "fertile week" aka monthly shagathon so we try again. Opks are showing a faint line so far but still negative though they're getting stronger.

Dtd yesterday and afterwards spent half an hour with my legs in the air like a numpty 😄

Hey, jumping back here for a sec as there's more people. I'm not meant to ovulate until around the 19th but I've had a fair amount of ewcm today and yesterday. I think I had an anovulatory cycle last month - is it possible it caused me to ovulate early this month or is my body playing fuckery with me?
I don't temp (bought the thermometer and planned to use it next cycle) or use OPKs (couldn't get the hang of them at all) so I'm guessing I just have to wait and see. Do I count this as the start of my 2ww or wait until my original AF due date?
Noticed it before bed last night so made sure to dtd just in case!

Hi ladies, wondering if anyone can help me?
Im still chasing ovulation and have a progression pic but not too sure how its supposed to look in terms of progression?
Its the darkest line ive had in 9 months but its not quite there yet.

It's definitely not dark enough yet I'd say @pocket have you considered trying a digital one?

I'm with you Steak!!! Both with the fertile bit and the legs in the air 🙈🙈

@aph thank you for replying! I havent but thats only because after so many blood tests on set days we realised i wasnt ovulating properly and i thought itd be a waste of money. But i did something different this month so i thought id try and track ovulation.. will just have to be patient i suppose!

@pocket I've been using both kinds of test to be fair. It's an expensive hobby and definitely needs a lot of patience. Fingers crossed for you

I'm cd28 and tested this morning but there wasn't even a whisker of a line so I'm feeling very grumpy and like I'm out . AF due tomorrow. Maybe I'm too early but I have a bad feeling about this month😭

Hi everyone! I've never been able to join a bus as my periods have been ridiculous and absent for 16 years (14 due to the pill, 2 due to hypothalamic amenorrhea) and two weeks ago was my first definite ovulation. But AF has turned up on CD34 which I am happysad about... obviously a BFP would be better but I'll take a vaguely regular cycle! So right now I'm just hanging on the back of the bus hoping to catch another one. I did want to ask though... are period pains always this bad? I'm in agony!

Wishing BFPs to all those actually on the bus...

Went to loo at lunchtime and some pale pink CM. Thought AF was coming. Later it was brown and now it's dried up. I see you uterus, trying to trick me into thinking its IB! I've fell for that before and I won't again still not testing again yet.

Well I win crazy today I think: cheapy test at 7dpo 🙄 negative, obviously. But my boobs are sore! And my skin sucks! And I've had backache and nausea and a bit of pinching😖 not due on until 20th so will sit on my hands and not let myself test again until the weekend!!

Don't worry @meow1989 I've been testing since 7 DPO I stopped at 13 cause I was bloody sick of the BFNS. I'm waiting till at least Weds now. I don't even have symptoms so why waste all those tests???

@ronniemipperton welcome. Sorry about the pains. Ibuprofen (food first - can hurt your stomach otherwise) and hot water bottle usually do the trick for me. Periods can hurt - I had to leave work last month. Boo! Hopefully you'll just have one AF then a BFP.

Sorry about negative tests. Hope the 2WW passes soon. I'm just entering mine tho we didn't have a very good "go" this month for various reasons so am not too hopeful :(

That makes me feel better @PhoenixDown 😊

@PhoenixDown
Not better that you have bfn's obviously!! Better that my crazy has company😳

Thanks @Janefx40, ibuprofen and hot water bottle sounds like a good idea. I'm sure I knew all this when I was a teenager but it all feels a very long time ago! DH is being a love and cooking comfort food for dinner so can't complain :)

@HolyShmoly what's an anovulatory cycle? Entering tww for me, AF due 22nd x
