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

😢 I'm spotting this morning. Just a bit of brown so far when I wipe, but that means AF is on the way. Due tomorrow so bang on time.

Cycle 16 then I guess and wondering what I can take/do to make a difference next month. Or whether it's just time to say to myself to give up now.

Wishing everyone left lots of luck!

Peak this morning - I go away without my husband this evening! How annoying. We will BD today but I think that is me out for this month!

sbhf1987 · 12/08/2018 09:43

@Owlpatrol I’m due 19th, had lots of brown spotting but only when wiping yesterday and some this morning though. Currently 8dpo. X

sbhf1987 · 12/08/2018 09:44

@EverythingNow did you see the link I posted with supplements in Luissa Zizzmans blog? If AF arrived next week which I’m sure she will I’m going to get some of those to try x

Owlpatrol · 12/08/2018 09:50

@sbhf1987 that's sounds good for implantation maybe? I've only had some pms symptoms so far, will expect some spotting around middle of the week. I'm 9 dpo x

Spottyyellowdress · 12/08/2018 09:50

@lubilu28 so sorry to hear that! Has it developed into a full blown af? Maybe you’re still in?

I’m 17dpo now - not tested since day at was due but that was a v definite bfn on a frer so not feeling very convinced. Lots and lots of symptoms but also the occasional bit of v light pink when wiping. Darent test again to be disappointed.

sbhf1987 · 12/08/2018 09:54

@Owlpatrol my sister keeps saying it could be IB and not to get stressed but it’s hard not too. No PMS symptoms or pregnancy symptoms tbh. I didn’t go to the toilet from fri morning til this morning which is unlike me as I’m usually twice a day but that could be anything x

EverythingNow · 12/08/2018 10:22

Thanks @sbhf1987 I'll check it out!

dovegrey18 · 12/08/2018 10:35

@EverythingNow sorry you feel this way. Just sticking my size 9's in but might be worthwhile googling fertility supplements, pre seed and dtd every other day if you haven't tried these already?

Wishful30 · 12/08/2018 11:21

8dpo
Temp gone back up after dip yesterday.
Did not sleep last night.
Feel really f'in miserable. Af due next weekend, so too early for af moods, not that it usually affects me anyway.
Deffo feel totally normal apart from feeling really low and grouchy.

When's everyone testing next week?

Lubilu28 · 12/08/2018 11:24

@Spottyyellowdress full blown AF 😫!! Maybe it was a sign that it wasn’t my month so I can go to Rome and enjoy myself without worrying about morning sickness and tiredness lol ovulating the day we get there so who knows this could be my month!

🤞🏻 It’s your time! Some of us need some good news this month lol xx

Bimbabo · 12/08/2018 11:25

Still only spotting this morning. Pink like normal so not holding out for bfp.
I am the same with testing. It’s like all hope is gone....till next month

EverythingNow · 12/08/2018 12:03

Thanks @Dovegrey

I will definitely try DHA I'm going to order it now and I'm already taking ubiquinol and folic acid.

I'm Ok, I'm fortunate that I have 3 already (2 with DH) and I'm 39. My mum told me recently that she finished the menopause by 46, which seems so so young. So I kind of think that although I've no symptoms I might just have left it too late. It just took such a long time to get DH to come round to the idea. I just need to get my head around it really might not happen and that's ok.

em254 · 12/08/2018 12:04

I’m sorry to hear some of you ladies are joining me on the September bus. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some more BFP’s though!

I’m now cd 6 and it feels like forever until we get to try again 🙄

dovegrey18 · 12/08/2018 12:33

@EverythingNow Thanks

NoseringGirl · 12/08/2018 13:03

AF got me today so I'm off to find the September bus. Best of luck to every left!

Wishful30 · 12/08/2018 13:24

Huh..... so I really wasn't expecting this.
I'm only 8dpo. It's the middle of the afternoon. I've had 4 cups of tea and pers about 5 times since I woke up.

Don't get too excited for me ladies. I've had a few chemicals already. So af may still come.
But I have confirmation I need to tell my vet I can't help with one of our ops tomorrow due to the likelyhood of breathing in the gas. 👀

Here's to hoping it's one sticky little bean this time.

Tho... it does mean I can't have any of my vaccines for Africa 😐

Incase anyone is curious...
I decided to poas as I'm in a seriously fowl mood, which is so unusual for me. I'm cleaning the house like a nut case. 2nd floor flat, actually hanging out the windows to clean them 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪

I've barely spoken to DH these past couple of days as he's so argumentative... but then... maybe it's me 😂
And I woke up angry at him in the middle of the night. Had a little cry and fell back to sleep. 🙄

I was hoping pregnancy wouldn't turn me into a dragon, but this is the 5th positive I've had, and none of the others gave me the grumps 😬

mussie · 12/08/2018 13:44

@NoseringGirl sorry to hear AF got you. Best of luck for the September bus 🚌

Congrats @Wishful30! Hopefully this bean sticks. That's a pretty good line for 8dpo! I didn't have to zoom in or contrast it or anything Grin

CD16 for me today. I think I'm 1dpo. The wait begins... will be testing on 27th August if AF doesn't arrive before.

dovegrey18 · 12/08/2018 15:12

@Wishful30 congrats! Grin

CD17 here. Will dtd tonight i think..

Wishful30 · 12/08/2018 15:16

Thankyou @dovegrey18 and @mussie

Gotta stop googling 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄
Really not happy about the idea of twins in 2nd floor flat with no lift 😐🤔🤣

MrsC87 · 12/08/2018 16:35

I'm on cycle day 22 of 28 and feeling very impatient lol.
I want to know one way or another this month. I'm only on cycle 1 of ttc as well Grin
What cycle day do people normally test or do you just wait for AF due date?
Not feeling any different so doubtful I am pregnant but want to know either way now.

Spottyyellowdress · 12/08/2018 17:43

@wishful30 congrats!!!!

sbhf1987 · 12/08/2018 18:08

@Wishful30 yay congrats I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. After a couple of days of brown spotting I’ve just had a tiny bit of red so think I’m out for sure at 8 maybe 9dpo 💔

chocolateaddicted · 12/08/2018 18:37

Congrats @Wishful30 why are you worried about twins?!
