September Bus

[juneybean]

Tentatively joining this bus...

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

Sorry to hear about AF @moomoo85!

Day 11 of 34 would be very early @lovepinacolada but you may find you have a shorter cycle this month! Either way no mistaking that result

To add to the crazines I now have bleeding which looks like AF @McTufty! I hate my body sometimes - I only finished on Monday! - cycle day 8. 😩😩

Hmm thoughts please.. I took a FRER this morning which was definitely negative, am just cleaning out bathroom bin and picked up the old test to see that a very faint line has appeared. Im guessing this isn't valid as it's hours since the test was taken.. right? I also think I'm only about 6 or 7 DPO which means even if I am pregnant, it's probably too early to test anyway?

I'm out ! AF in full force since this AM. Good luck to everyone else! X

@vitadolce2015 sorry to hear that :( have a glass of wine and onto next month!

@PinkBeetroot I can definitely see a line but am not very knowledgable about tests so not sure if they can get evap lines later on. Mine never have.

Technically a bean could implant at 5DPO so could in theory produce some HCG by 6/7 but I think generally it is 7-10 DPO when they implant. If you can bear it, it might be worth waiting a few days to test again!

Xxx

Can definitely see a line @PinkBeetroot - does it have any colour? If not, I think it could be an evap line! But you're out yet - fingers crossed for you! 🤞

Sorry to hear that vita xx

Have just dismantled test and it definitely has a pink colour, although it's darker at each end.. strange because I've never had any kind of line at all on a FRER and not been pregnant.. will wait a couple of days to retest and update!

@lovepinacolada oh how frustrating! Bleeding on CD8 is unusual, may be worth a trip to your GP just for reassurance? Only thing is you can get ovulation spotting. Is it a heavy flow or could it be that?

@vitadolce2015 sorry to hear about AF Go get smashed and eat loads of soft rind cheese

@pinkbeetroot 6 or 7dpo would be very early for a positive but I can see a line. Could you have ovulated a day earlier than you think? Try again in a couple of days but it looks promising!

Nearly made it through another day with no AF which is brilliant. If FF is right about when I ovulated then that means my LP has got a day longer this month! But I think I might have Od later than that and I've been having cramps for the past day or two so not that hopeful.

Fingers crossed for you Pink.

According to FF, I've finally ovulated! Last pregnancy I got my BFP at 10 dpo, so I have to sit on my hands until 20 September. Or I'll go find a FRER at Boots.

Good luck to everyone still in the tww.

Thanks @McTufty - my AF finished CD 8, this is CD 11! Bleeding has completely stopped now so hopefully it was just random spotting - but I have read it could be ovulation spotting - it could be that what with it being my positive OPK day & all! 🤞

Can definitely see some colour now @PinkBeetroot - keeping my fingers very firmly crossed for you! 🤞

I tested yesterday morning and there was a thin blue line! I'm hoping it's a positive but deep down I feel like it's an evap line. My partner made me promise I wouldn't retest until Saturday but it's driving me mad! I hate the wait! Xx

Does look like a line @Jade where are you in your cycle? I'm 8/9 DPO wondering whether it's worth testing this early or not??

Hi Meggimoo!! I am only around 7 dpo so it's very early for me! That's why I was worried it was an evap line. Going to test again in the morning and pray it's a positive!! Xx

That does seem early but I can defo see something! I'm not v experienced in this though TTC #1 for me.
Have you had any symptoms? Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you! Well I've always used Tesco tests and never had any sign of a line so I was so excited when I saw that! But then saw online it could be an evap line. Very early to test for me but I couldn't bear the wait it's so hard to wait isn't it! I've felt a bit sick but not sure if it's all in my head and I'm just hoping I feel sick and it's a positive! What about you have you had symptoms xx

Well my boobs are a bit sore and I feel a general level of crappiness today like I'm really run down or something. We didn't get a chance to DTD loads during ovulation time this cycle and I'm so busy at the moment I think it's more likely for me that I am actually just run down!

@jade123f I have everything crossed for you! I have never used a blue test so can't help with the evap. I did read though that Evaps tend to be grey rather than blue. It's hard to tell from the photo if it's blue or not? Even if it's negative don't worry at 7dpo it's still very early!

@meggiemoo fingers crossed! Lots of people say the sore boobs were their first symptom.

My boobs are totally fine! But no AF yet and I'm 8/9 dpo so for me that's doing well!! I'm very crampy though and have been for a couple of days and I keep getting stabbing pains in my pelvic area so I keep thinking AF is starting.

@meggimoo I hope it's a positive!! Are you going to test or wait a few days?

@McTufty Thank you I do too! I will know in the morning! Keep us updated won't you xx

Thanks Mctufty!
I'm going to wait a few days, it's still really early. I really do think being run down is what it is for me. Our timing wasn't great this cycle so I've not built my hopes up too much this time round.

I've been on holiday, stopped temping, no OPKs - and this fertile week has been so much less stressful than last cycle.

And because I won't know when (or if!) I've ovulated, I won't be counting down days dpo.

It's amazing how much less stressed I feel about the process. Now i can totally see keeping this up for a few months

Pretty sure I'm out ladies, just had a bfn 4 days before due in a frer, feeling a bit like af on way. ah well onto next month! (When I have promised myself not to waste so many tests, we shall see how that goes!!)

Huge congrats to those with positives and luck luck luck to those still to test 🍀

So I've had a bit of a POAS addiction the couple couple days but this morning did a second FRER and am sure I can see a line- it's faint but to me it's there and means what it should. But DH has got me second guessing myself! AF is due on Monday so he had asked me to wait til then to test again but I just couldn't help myself 🙈
