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

@Lubilu28 so I’ve woken up still no spotting feel like I’m going to throw up and a headache so it could be a migraine but doesn’t feel that way. It’s so tempting to test but less than 48 hours ago it was negative so it seems pointless 😩. This is my 2nd cycle so it feels too lucky that I’d be pregnant. I’m also day 29 as well. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Lubilu28 · 10/08/2018 07:56

@Spottyyellowdress I’m due either today or tomorrow! And I’m also having all the right symptoms but I’m just thinking is this my body playing some nasty trick?!! When are u due? 🤞🏻 AF doesn’t arrive and we get late BFPs 😘

@Lemonsugar245 yesterday I took my DS the park and almost had to stop to throw up! Got home and almost fell asleep on the sofa I was that exhausted! Then when I went to go bed last night I couldn’t because I was having horrendous hot flushes!!! Boobs are sore, nipples seem to of darkened and the little bumps have definitely become more pronounced! I’ve still go cramping and a heavy feeling!! When are u thinking of testing?? Xx

Spottyyellowdress · 10/08/2018 08:01

@lubilu28 was due yesterday! I’m flitting between thinking I def am and I ovulated late and that its only a matter of time until I have the worst af of my life - particularly as I’m at a wedding today!

A negative frer 14dpo really just doesn’t bode well though does it? 🤞 for you lovely!

Newbie21 · 10/08/2018 08:30

I'm out, after spotting for 3 days, AF showed up totally uninvited this morning 10 days early!!!! Not at all happy about it but moving on to next cycle and hoping that the next one is more normal. Good luck to all of you still in the game. Baby dust to all xx

Lubilu28 · 10/08/2018 08:51

@Spottyyellowdress I still have one frer left, I was going to test tomorrow morning with it as DH is home but I just feel like it’s going to be one big disappointment!! 🤞🏻 U just ovulated late and that the test can’t pick up the hormone?? Enjoy the wedding xx

Lubilu28 · 10/08/2018 08:52

@Newbie21 sorry to hear AF arrived for u!! 🤞🏻 For your next cycle 😘 xx

Beaglemum93 · 10/08/2018 09:23

Sorry to those who AF got them :( fingers crossed for you all next cycle.

And to those who had BFNs but still no AF, don't lose hope, you're not out until she arrives!

I got a very faint BFP last night at 9 dpo. Im trying not to get too excited about it because AF isn't due til next Friday. Now I just need to resist testing everyday...

Spottyyellowdress · 10/08/2018 09:27

Haha @lubilu27 I have one frer left too - I just can’t even imagine it being positive so I don’t want to do it! DH has hidden it now 😂 - if nothing by Monday we’ll test again. I really hope this is it for us both!

MuddyElephant · 10/08/2018 09:27

Thanks @giraffe888 and everyone else. Taken it hard this month but trying to find the silver linings...can enjoy some bubbly for my anniversary this weekend at least!

FX for everyone waiting for their BFPs

sbhf1987 · 10/08/2018 11:47

@Beaglemum93 fingers crossed the line gets darker for you lovely. Was it a First Response Test? I’m only 6dpo was going to try wait to 12dpo but struggling lol luckily no tests in the house 😂

sbhf1987 · 10/08/2018 11:58

Help 6 days DPO and just had a tiny bit of blood as if starting AF which isn’t due for a week? Is it too early for IB or is my cycle just screwed and I’m out this month? X

NoseringGirl · 10/08/2018 12:00

@sbhf1987 are you sure you're 6DPO or could you have ovulated earlier? As far as I know, 6DPO is the absolute earliest implantation can occur so it could be that!

Beaglemum93 · 10/08/2018 12:18

@sbhf1987 it could be implantation bleeding at 6dpo. Fingers crossed for you!
And yeah, I got a shadow of a line on an ic so I did a frer and got a faint but obvious bfp :)

sbhf1987 · 10/08/2018 12:19

@NoseringGirl I had a high CB Advanced Digital OPK for 5 days then last Friday morning had my peak which stays for 2 days x

sbhf1987 · 10/08/2018 12:44

@Beaglemum93 that’s great! I got my positive OPK Friday morning so if I caught it late and ovulated Friday I’ll be 7dpo but I’m going with 6 atm. Fingers crossed! X

EverythingNow · 10/08/2018 18:48

Evening all! Exciting @beaglemum93!!! Fingers crossed for you!

I have felt so sick today (10dpo) I was dreaming about vomiting (who does that!)and woke feeling nauseous, which has stuck around all day. Super sleepy too but that's a normal af symptom. Absolute blazing stark bfn though.

Peonie89 · 10/08/2018 20:25

CD 33 today. Still no sign of AF, but got a BFN when I tested on CD 31 which was 11DPO... No symptoms at all, so just a waiting game now... Sad

chocolateaddicted · 10/08/2018 21:08

Wished on a rainbow today for my 🌈 baby and didn't realise it was a double rainbow. This Clomid cycle might be a bit scary 😬

mussie · 10/08/2018 21:55

@Peonie89 plenty of people don't get their BFP at 11dpo! Are you planning on testing tomorrow?

@chocolateaddicted haha be careful what you wish for...

I got EWCM today, and Ovia has brought the ovulation and AF predictions forward by two days! Glow did not, but not letting that hold me back... it would be good if I was ovulating early, because as of tomorrow we have guests for about a week, so we'll not be as able to DTD as often as usual Grin whereas we've DTD the last four nights in a row with the place to ourselves, so if ovulation is today/tomorrow then surely we'll catch it 🤞🏻

KatBeCool · 11/08/2018 04:15

AF not here yet but all my symptoms are now gone other than the weird feeling on the lower right side. It feels like something is stretching muscles/ligaments. It's very mild, sometimes it's sharp and stronger if I suddenly move, but still very bearable. 13 dpo tomorrow, frer showed BFN today.

Lubilu28 · 11/08/2018 06:50

What a waste of a FRER 😔!! 1 day late and bfn!! So frustrated cuz there is absolutely no sign that af is coming!!

But I have to remember that this happened with ds1! I took a FRER got nothing, waiting 4 days and used cbd and got my bfp!! Still a chance 🤞🏻X

August bus
KatBeCool · 11/08/2018 07:03

@Lubilu28 Our experience is so similar this month. I'm not late yet but I don't feel AF is coming either.

Lubilu28 · 11/08/2018 07:19

@KatBeCool it’s so frustrating isn’t it?? I usually spot a couple of days before and I’ve had zilch! And I usually have quite a bit of discharge, sorry tmi 🙈 lol but again had nothing! X

Spottyyellowdress · 11/08/2018 07:44

@katbecool @lubilu28 same here too! Not testing til Monday if nothing happens by then - I feel so so sick this morning, 3 days late now! Almost wish af would just turn up rather than all this faffing about!

Wishful30 · 11/08/2018 08:29

Ok, so going by my chart, the FRER can be used as of tomorrow??

No symptoms at all other than being over heated and tired. Which could be anything.
Will be testing Tuesday/Wednesday most likely as I'm expecting bfn so don't want DH around.
