TTC #2 (September BFPs)

[LopeyLopez]

A new thread (following on from our July and August ones!) for all those trying for number 2 and hoping for a September BFP. Welcome aboard!

Thanks guys. Dp wants to wait until Tuesday to decide. That's when he gets a bit more info about his current situation, I'm trying to be understanding but also annoyed that might mean we miss the window this month. Anyway, I'll stay on the bus and people watch.

Got my fingers crossed for bfps for all xx

Just catching up with all the news... Congratulations Mother! So exciting to have 3 positives already!

Hi to the newbies...
I also agree with the others Penny and would stick with your plan.

Unicorn and Nubian, I hope you get some clarity soon, it's rubbish being stuck in limbo like that.

So I'm on day 22 of a 26(ish) day cycle and feeling very tetchy! I also had some blood tests done on Friday as I'm starting to worry I'm in early peri-menopause. I've only just turned 36 but my mum went through menopause in her late 30's... Results of those due around same time as AF so could be a double whammy.
Hoping some the good luck from this thread rubs off and all is ok!

Wow, congrats mother! I'm also cycle 7 so just hoping it's a lucky number 7 for me too!!

Can't keep up with this thread....I go away for one day and come back to another bfp! It's great!!! Just what we need!

I was away for a night and forgot my bbt thermometer and opk! Which was maybe a blessing in disguise as it was much less stressful I guess and I could relax and enjoy the holiday mood more....downside was that it was at the CRUCIAL time, as in I was just about to ovulate! Starting temping again this month to get some clarity on when I actually ovulate, as it's fairly predictable and I always get a positive opk and strong pains to guide me, but I started wondering if the pains were perhaps AFTER ovulation and I was dtd late or something.....? Just trying to find reasons why I seem to miss out month after month...

Anyway, whoops, might not have answers this month because of my slip up with one day temps and opk missing....or will I?! Because I actually had a positive opk this morning, the pains last night, and still no temp rise (tho my temps have been a bit all over the place tbh, despite exact same time taken every day). Looks like maybe the pains come BEFORE o for me. So not as bad as after in terms of dtd, but I could have been doing it too soon before o maybe...? I don't know.

Gosh, all this is very long and boring, sorry! Just trying to tie up lots of loose ends to get a clear picture I guess, and thinking aloud.

Obviously if I get pg this month I couldn't care less about how all these things interact!! But if I don't it would be useful to know for future planning.

Really hope the luck of this thread rubs off on those of us that are still trying!!!

Fertile week has arrived! Flashy smiley on cb so afternoon quickie while dc1 was napping. Dp.out tomorrow so will go again on tues. Might inadvertently do the SMEP this month. First accupuncture appt/consultancy on weds eve.

Good luck with acupuncture Lady, let us know how you get on

Yay congrats all the BFPs!

I'm due AF on Tuesday - have normally had my migraine by now that signifies AF coming, but I haven't yet which is interesting. I've been very light headed recently too.

Still not getting my hopes up but will pick up a test tomorrow to do first thing Tuesday morning!

Hi. I'm a newbie, please may I join? I'm 42 so my chances are low, which I am aware of. This has been my first month TTC for #2. Have just started my TWW and it seems soooo long! Have been using Clearblue fertility monitor in morning and cheap opk sticks in afternoon plus conceive plus lubricant. Acupuncture next! Good luck to everyone x

Posted this on my own thread but if anyone here experienced with OPK can help. Was fridays a positive? And if so would I ovulate Saturday, Sunday or Mon? And would dtd on Wednesday, late Saturday and Sunday morning mean I missed the window? Thanks.

Friday looks like a positive to me Dragon, couldn't be sure when you ovulate unless you temp but dtd on the days you've said will have put you in with a good chance!

Thanks Beansprout.

Friday was CD7 so I appear to be ovulating really early.

Can I join please? Been trying for a few months and the last time I joined a conception thread I got a BFP almost instantly. Hoping for similar luck from this thread! Ovulating today or tomorrow.

Cd7 is quite early but everyone is different, did you get any other signs of ovulation?

Welcome Space! I'm new here too

Evening all. Hope it's not too late for me to comment. Just has period that was due 1/9! Now due af end of September. Been trying since Christmas

Should add, I'm 33 and have a son who is 21 months old.

Sorry for af Dolly, onwards and upwards to next cycle!

I had EWCM and a mild cramp. I think I ovulated early last cycle but my last cycle was very messed up because in August I had a D&C. Before my previous pregnancy I had normal cycles. I had a hormone panel done a few months ago and it was fine.

Dragon Friday appear as positive...would have ovalated with in 24 to 48 hrs.

I got that on Friday night around 10pm...so Saturday or Sunday. Day 8 or9 I think. My cycle is so messed up ATM

Hey all! I've missed a trillion comments since this morning but just popped in to sprinkle lots of baby dust and say a big welcome to hedgehog and space. I've just finished week one of the 2ww and it feels like it's taken foreveeerrrr. Only one week to go!

Thanks @Beansprout30 - beginning to feel like it will never happen

Hi newbies welcome aboard the bus!

Gotadolly sorry af arrived, I'm in a similar situation. DD is 21 months and I'll be 33 in a month. We've been ntnp since DD was 5 months old and actively trying since April. It's so disheartening to keep seeing a bfn that I don't even bother testing anymore. Chin up, it will happen for us both I'm sure.

Hey Ladypug I've also just finished a week of the 2ww. Starting to get twitchy now, and really got my hopes up as this is the first month i predicted my fw well enough to dtd several times Cycle 5 but really long cycles.

Hi @ladydolly waves I think I remember you from the November 14 Birth Club I was on there about 3 usernames ago

Hi uppitystitch!! Yes I was there, well I am still there :) How long have you been trying this time around? How is it going?

Hey squashy restless here also - although only dtd once so chances are slim! But was on my actual predicted ovulation date so at least that's something. The weeks feel lonnnnnng when you don't know!
