August bus

[Rapunzel91]

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

Congratulations @TheMagicTorch that’s a very clear line!!! 🎉

Congrats @themagictorch!

Congratulations @TheMagicTorch 💕 x

Thanks for all the advice gang! I think I will have some fizz

And massive congratulations @Themagictorch!!

Ladies, please help - is this positive? Going crazy!

(It's an OPK not preg test - thought I'd clarify!)

@TheMagicTorch massive congratulations! Makes me want to test now, but when I tested Saturday it was BFN so want to leave it a little while longer.

@TheMagicTorch congratulations. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

@buntingandstarcharts looks about equivalent darkness to me, maybe ever so slightly lighter than test line but if it's not positive you are super close to it. I would test a little later too just to see but may as well dtd to cover all bases!

@Newbie21 thanks so much for your help. I'm so annoyed as my husband is at work til late tonight and I'm convinced we've missed our chance this month now 😪😪 what do you think? Congrats to all the positive pregnancy tests (sorry to hijack with opk chat - my period isn't due to 22nd August) xx

Ooo congrats @TheMagicTorch 😘🎉 I’m tempted to test with a FRER now lol

And sorry to everyone who got their AF :( 🤞🏻 Next month will be your month!! Xx

@Changingagain Eek that's a bit spooky - hopefully it's a good sign for this month! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@em254 Thank you! That's what I thought - I tested more just to satisfy the urge than actually expecting a BFP if that makes sense. I peed on it and watched the line come up straight away. Even 12-13dpo with my chemical it wasn't that clear so I'm really hoping that it's a good sign.

@Beaglemum93 @MuddyElephant @Pudding01 @CrystalBlaze @Peonie89 @Newbie21 @Lubilu28 Thank you so so much lovely ladies.

@Lubilu28 they're the only tests I've used so far, and I used the CB digital OPKs because I'm terrified of ambiguous lines or squinting at sticks for ages! I don't trust my own eyes lol.

Hey, I'm hopping on!

Age 27
TTC #2
Cycle no. 2
Cycle length 35 days
AF expected 22 August

I had an anembryonic pregnancy in March/April, so I'm only on my second cycle since then - took 8 weeks for my period to return. 😖 my cycle last month was technically 39 days but I think that's a fluke. I'm pretty sure I'm 3dpo as I had lots of egg white CM over the weekend which has now gone, managed to DTD a few times in that window so hopefully I'm in with a chance. Can't help myself symptom spotting.

So desperate to get pregnant again, I should have been due in November.

@buntingandstarcharts have you been dtd over the last few days? If so, you are definitely still in with a chance and then maybe go for one for luck when DH returns?

My cycle is crazy this month - started opk-Ing with CB and got flashing smileys cd 13-16 (cd16 is today) then went for another wee 1hour and half after doing the trst and there was blood?!? Could be ovulation bleeding but no solid smiley. I had dtd last night and night before but annoyingly not this morning so think I may have missed out too... I have no idea what is going on down there

Congratulations @TheMagicTorch that's a great line!

I stupidly did a IC test this morning even though I've no idea how many DPO I am as my chart is so confusing. FF hasn't given me crosshairs but my temps have been steadily rising. Lots of cramping but no AF. Got a very faint line but could be an evap or an indent. I don't trust those tests! Going to get a proper one today.

@Newbie21 only did it on Sunday and not since. The surge Came so suddenly, the OPKs has been negative negative then suddenly positive in the blink of an eye 😵😵😵 I will hope x

@Newbie21 poor you with blood on day 16. How strange? Maybe Dad was too vigorous 🤣🤣

Omg massive typo error!!! Not DAD I meant dtd!! Auto correct cringe x

@buntingandstarcharts 😂😂😂 I needed that laugh today!!

@TheMagicTorch congratulations lovely so happy for you, hoping this is me next week! FX

@buntingandstarcharts hahahaha what a typo 😂😂😂 this made me LOL

I’m only 3dpo c1 and wondering how the hell im going to cope if it takes a while to conceive. Why is it so stressful and on my mind 24/7? X

Thought I better contribute to this.

I'm the divvy who did two pregnancy tests this afternoon. First one positive, about an hour later second one negative.

Thoughts?

@AmyRhodes how many DPO? Could be second urine was diluted?

Unfortunately I don't know @sbhf1987

I did OPKs between CD14 and CD22 then gave up because they were all negative.

I'm CD30 and my cycles are always 30 days.

@AmyRhodes Did you do them at the exact same time? Very strange!

@sbhf1987 Thank you so much! 🤞🏻 for you next week

@NoseringGirl Thank you so much lovely, I'm still shocked!
🤞🏻 for your next test.

@buntingandstarcharts 😂😂😂 best most awkward typo ever! Thank you for giving us a giggle!

@TheMagicTorch

About an hour apart.

The first one I dipped carefully, the second was messy and I got piss everywhere. If that makes any difference?
