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

@HelloBrass just realised it may have sounded like I was having a go, sorry I really wasn't! This TTC malarkey is really stressful. And moan all you like, that's what we're here for! 😀

TheMagicTorch · 08/08/2018 09:16

@AmyRhodes Yay congratulations, lovely 🙂 Enjoy your holiday.

Sorry AF got you @Spottyyellowdress & @em254 😔

LulaRose · 08/08/2018 09:26

I do tend to have notorious line eye, but I think I can see a VFL @Lubilu28 🧐 Can you see something IRL? How many dpo are you?

Congratulations @AmyRhodes!

Sorry for AF @Spottyyellowdress and @em254 😞

NoseringGirl · 08/08/2018 09:31

@JustLikeTheySaid I have anovulatory cycles sometimes (I have PCOS and they used to only ever be anovulatory) it's quite normal to have them occasionally but it's really frustrating. Hope it's over for you soon!

Sorry to hear that @Spottyyellowdress 😢

Negative on the FRER for me this morning but temps are still rising. I think I'm just going to wait until Monday now to test again! Weird cycle is driving me mad.

AmyRhodes · 08/08/2018 09:37

Thanks ladies - particularly to those who responded to my other posts fretting that I was broken/didn't ovulate/needed a doctor. I can't believe it happened this month after how despairing I was.

To everyone still trying - rest assured, I absolutely thought this month was a total no hoper - my apps were confused, OPKs said nothing - just keep the faith (and keep shagging) xxxxx

Lubilu28 · 08/08/2018 13:00

@LulaRose I’m having serious line eyes!! Lol I’m going to test again in the morning as I had a look on google as to when would be best to test for me and that’s tomorrow so I figured why not haha 😂 I have ZERO willpower xx

Lubilu28 · 08/08/2018 13:02

@LulaRose I’m 11 dpo and u can’t really see it in any lighting :/!! Now it’s dried there’s nothing there x

buntingandstarcharts · 08/08/2018 13:23

Ladies.... I'm so sorry to hijack, I'm not due on my period until 22nd August so I'm behind you all. Would someone mind telling me if this is positive ovulation stick? I'm going mad 😭😭😭

thejollytrolleydolly · 08/08/2018 13:33

@buntingandstarcharts it looks pretty positive to me! 😁

Llanali · 08/08/2018 14:04

@buntingandstarcharts

Congrats to Amy! Xx

Good luck next month for those now out :(

I did a test yesterday which was negative. As it would be. Because that was only 6dpo.

I’m a twat. I never normally test early! What is wrong with me?!

sbhf1987 · 08/08/2018 15:12

@Llanali the waiting is awful isn’t it. I’m 4dpo and I’m now on the week countdown for when I will allow myself to test. I am not even buying any tests before then as I’ll test early too x

lucyinthe · 08/08/2018 16:22

Hi ladies, having a bit of a breakdown, 2 BFNs yesterday and today. Had period like cramps sun, mon and yesterday but no AF. Felt really sick Monday and today too.

AF due today/tomorrow, anyone had cramps before AF due but still been pregnant? Been googling (couldn't resist) and seen a lot of posts that say it could have been implantation. I'm 13DPO now. Can't concentrate on anything at all this week, just want to know either way now 😩

HelloBrass · 08/08/2018 18:00

@rollerskaterdata It didn't come across that way at all! Smile I think we all get taken by surprise by our feelings towards this process. And it's always easier to give advice - so I hope you can relax, enjoy and don't feel too much pressure. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Wishful30 · 08/08/2018 19:21

So tired, pretty grouch and have a headache on and off. Keep feeling really overheated.

May be the drugs, may be conception.
I guess we'll know in about 10days 😂🤪

ValidUser · 08/08/2018 19:26

My OPKs are equivocal and back still dodgy. Cycle 1 day 15 (but actually used opk and condoms last month. Blush). May have missed ovulation because of work, or may be due a shorter luteal phase. Cycle is consistently 27 days and only checked opk last month but had a positive on day 14 then.

For child 1 cycle 1, I'm well versed!

MuddyElephant · 08/08/2018 20:08

@giraffe888 sorry to hear you think AF is on the way. I'm knackered, can't sleep, sore boobs, hot flushes and pains in my lower left abdo around the pant line....am driving myself crazy trying to ignore all my symptoms which are likely just normal! Hoping I'm not late like last month as it's torture 😣

Giraffe888 · 08/08/2018 20:27

@muddyelephant As predicted AF arrived this afternoon so that’s me out! I knew she was coming but I’ve felt soooo tired the past 4/5 days which isn’t like me at all!
Your symptoms sound promising! Is it tomorrow AF is due? X

Lemonsugar245 · 08/08/2018 20:32

So I’m due on AF I think tomorrow took a teat this evening it’s negative 😕. Still no spotting which is what I normally get a day before. Just white watery discharge 13 DPO. So just waiting AF to turn up now

fizzytonicplease · 08/08/2018 21:16

This is cycle 2 i trying, positive OPK on Sunday and we dtd on friday and sat unfortunately due to DH shifts and he was on nights after that for 4days, keeping my fingers crossed.

fizzytonicplease · 08/08/2018 21:17

**of TTC #2 age 36

Laurenita · 08/08/2018 21:47

Gaaaaah, AF due today, 9 DPO. It hasn’t shown up which is unusual as I’m quite regular but I’ve had a watery faint brown discharge all day and a head ache every day this week, both unusual. Going to test in the morning, wish me luck! 🤞

Alice2018 · 08/08/2018 21:53

Hi everyone,
Hoping I can join in please.
AF/BFP due 30th August according to the app I have but I think it’s due earlier, app isn’t the best and is hard to track, I’ve been all over the place for the last few months!
Fairly sure I’m a 3-4dpo.
Fingers crossed for all of us!

sbhf1987 · 08/08/2018 22:03

sbhf1987 · 08/08/2018 22:05

Good luck for tomorrow @Laurenita

Yuzuko · 08/08/2018 22:22

Good luck testing in the morning @Laurenita !
Sorry to everyone that's off the bus this month, I do hope the next one is your bus 😘.
@fizzytonicplease** welcome and best of luck. I'm also 36 and in my second cycle trying (for #3).

I'm 9dpo today and feeling the pressure not to test.

Anyone else at 9dpo???
