Thought I'd start this one. This is my first bus and would love to chat with other's TTC in August.

Stats:
Age: 26
TTC number: 1!
Cycle: 1st officially TTC, although was a chance last cycle
CD: 6 of 27-29 day cycle
BFP/AF due: 2nd Augst

I'm trying to really prepare my body as much as possible for pregnancy. Trying to lose some weight and strengthen my core and back as I've got crap core and lower back muscles which worry me a bit in terms of pregnancy

How is everyone feeling today? I think I’m 9dpo woke with a heavy AF feeling, not due for another 4 days but feel like it might come early! In a way if I’m out I hope it does cold me early so I try again!

Good luck ladies! x

dragonmummy17 · 03/08/2018 08:22

Congratulations @Rapunzel91 that's an amazing line!

em254 · 03/08/2018 08:23

*come early. Damn predictive text!

sunpickle · 03/08/2018 08:28

@mussie it was hard to figure out actually - not intuitive at all. I had to add RHR as a 'custom' data field, and then I had to use the 'chart duo' function (only if you're paying I think) which then gave me the option to have other data plotted. Honestly, I tried so many things to make it happen that I'm not even sure what worked in the end. It's pretty cool though!

NoseringGirl · 03/08/2018 08:45

I didn't even realise you could do that @sunpickle! Will have to try and do it on mine.

Wishful30 · 03/08/2018 09:59

Had my scan this morning. One good egg ready to go.
Now I got an injection that I have to giv 24hrs before the IUI, about midday today... which I need to keep in the fridge.
Fun when your at work until 8pm

Good job I'm a vet nurse eh?!!

sbhf1987 · 03/08/2018 10:04

Hi hope it’s ok to join!
Age: 30
TTC: #1
Cycle: #1
Cycles usually 27-28 days but last month was 31 days which worried me
Using CB advanced ov kits, had 5 high and first peak this morning.
AF due: 18/19 Aug if my cycle behaves itself 🙄

Thegirlwithrainbowwings · 03/08/2018 10:28

Hello! Jumping on!

Age - 32
Cycle - 4!
Trying for baby numero uno ❤️

Not much happening for me unfortunately. My periods have all been like clockwork except for this month which has been weird. AF turned up 4 days early much to my surprise as I hadn't had any cramps or back ache as I usually do, only extremely heavy boobs and a 2 day long headache which is very strange! Was hoping it was implantation spotting as it was DPO10 but it's far too heavy for that. Oh well guess we'll start again this month! Good luck everyone! Xx

Smileyface32 · 03/08/2018 11:01

@thegirlwithrainbowwings I’m the same age and trying for our first one too. AF arrived this month so trying for cycle 2.

I’m going for my first session of accupuncture. Not sure if it’ll help in anyway and probably just wasting money 🤔 has anyone else tried it?

chocolateaddicted · 03/08/2018 11:06

Does your cycle change if you don't ovulate? I'm 2days past FP and it's all different.

Hofty · 03/08/2018 11:08

Sorry if I’m being dim @chocolateaddicted, but what’s FP?

sbhf1987 · 03/08/2018 11:10

@thegirlwithrainbowwings I’ve had one acupuncture session for relaxation, I have another on 13th. Only first month TTC but after a weird period last month thought I would give it a try.

chocolateaddicted · 03/08/2018 11:17

@Hofty errrr period? As in f'ing period

Hofty · 03/08/2018 11:19

Blush @chocolateaddicted
My cycle can be up to 12 days longer than normal if I don’t ovulate. I don’t know why that happens though. Over the last year or so of cycle tracking I can see really clearly the times that it happens.

chocolateaddicted · 03/08/2018 11:22

Omg @Hofty I can't do another two weeks of fainting and being sick 🤦🏼‍♀️ I've got a wedding on Thursday!

Smileyface32 · 03/08/2018 11:27

@sbhf1987 I thought I’d try to help me distress. All I’m thinking about is pregnancy and that surely isn’t good. I’m off to see her now so will see how it goes

Hofty · 03/08/2018 11:31

@chocolateaddicted what makes you think you haven’t ovulated?

chocolateaddicted · 03/08/2018 11:48

@Hofty my CBDM remained on high throughout the entire month. No lows, no peaks, just high. It's just confirmed by my FP not arriving as it's usually a strict 25 day cycle. Also no pain and no EWCM this month either.

sbhf1987 · 03/08/2018 11:52

@Smileyface32 good luck it is really relaxing although if you’re anything like me an hour later you’ll be back to stressing again. Never thought it would be this stressful Confused

LulaRose · 03/08/2018 11:54

Hello! Hopping on.

Age: 29
TTC #2 (DS is 12 months)
Cycle: ?

We've been "ttc" since last November, but my cycles haven't returned as I'm still bfing.

Had an early miscarriage last month, and I don't know what that means for my cycle. Hoping to see a positive OPK sometime next week.

@Smileyface32 I've done acupuncture, and I'm convinced it's one of the reasons I managed to conceive DS1 after 12+ months TTC. I went again last month, and released my first egg since giving birth (I'm still bfing), and got pregnant. Sadly I had an early miscarriage, but going again next week and hoping I'll get a sticky one this time!

VenusStarr · 03/08/2018 12:09

Bfn for me today, 10dpo I think. Sigh. At a wedding tomorrow. I've got no more tests so will just wait for af.

How's everyone getting on?

FlapJackered · 03/08/2018 12:19

Hi all, been a bit absent from this thread but jumping back on! Hope everyone is doing ok?
I have had flashing smiley from clearblue for three days now but a positive IC this morning? Also (tmi warning) tons of CM but slightly creamy? Very confused! Hopefully clearblue static smiley and ewcm will come tomorrow and clear things up!

Is anyone testing this weekend?

TaeLovexD · 03/08/2018 12:40

AF due in four days also.. But I feel so much AF pains rn. I downloaded another app and it told me my period starts today..Confused Wondering if I should take a test..

A very sad dream of a high school friend woke me up this morning, my head is pounding and feels like the cold is coming back.

Does anyone get pain on the sides of the thigh, right below pelvis (gun casings)??

Wishful30 · 03/08/2018 13:35

Inject first, read side effects after 🤦🏻‍♀️
Here's to hoping I don't start throwing up at work as I'm running the show at my branch tonight 🙄

Has anyone else used choriogonadotrophin injection?
Did you get any side effects?

Also curious if I'm forcing ovulation approx 3days early, I assume af will be expected early too?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

My brain is frazzled with all the dates and times and particulars

Rapunzel91 · 03/08/2018 13:36

Thank you everyone, it’s so lovely to see so many congratulations, especially as I won’t be able to tell anyone for a while 😊 fingers crossed this bus will be filled with BFPs x
