Too early for a September bus?

[KinCat]

I've (intentionally) missed out on an August BFP due to planned holidays but I'm crossing my fingers for a 7th September BFP/AF! Not sure if there's a September thread already?

Age: 27
TTC: No. 1
Cycle: 1

Getting my coil taken out this coming weekend and really hoping I'm one of the lucky ones whose cycle goes straight back to normal! I haven't had a period for years but have been tracking my bbt for the past month.

@em254 I think it is closer to 12 hours post ovulation but you could be right. I'm at similar stage to you, had my static smiley on Monday eve. So possibly ovulated yesterday or today - think more likely today as still ewcm yesterday. Going to carry on dtd for the next few days anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Is anyone else struggling to want to dtd. Maybe it’s the fact I’ve taught and I’m not sure I want a summer child I’d be looking at May. I also am waiting to see a genetics person as I potentially have a genetic condition that I could pass to a boy. I’m strugglinh to actually want to conceive.

@Lemonsugar245 I wouldn’t worry about the summer bit you can always defer, but sounds like you should see the geneticist first.

@Lemonsugar245 I agree with @GreatestShowWoman, if you are waiting to see a geneticist I would be tempted to hold off. Difficult as I would find that.

@GreatestShowWoman and @PeanutButterJellyTime2 thank you. issue is even when I see them they will never be 100% sure what my granddad had. The way it looks it’s X linked but it could be 100 other things. Once I’m expecting it becomes harder to tell if I’m a carrier. It’s the fact the appointment isn’t until jan this is supposedly urgent 🙄. Then it’s waiting for any tests so could be a good 6-12 months.

maybe I should just book a holiday then I know I can’t as i have flights booked at that time 😕

Sounds really difficult for you @Lemonsugar245! What do you think you might do?

@Lemonsugar245 is there any way you could go private to get the tests done more quickly?

My DH was initially reluctant to start TTC a summer baby but then I pointed out all the super smart summer babies we know - including his own mother! Selfishly I want a summer baby because then I'd get to be off work during our busiest season (June - August). For my work a September baby would be the worst as I'd be doing 12 hour days with lots of stress all though the third trimester. I guess these things are kind of impossible to plan though.

Just curious if this has happened to anyone? Had the same temp for 3 days. I know the themometer is fine as I used it mid day to test my temp and to see if it changes. I just keep thinking what are the chances?

@GreatestShowWoman when do you think you’ll test? I’m refusing to buy a test until I’m late 😊

I got a BFP last night and this morning as AF was late. We flew back from holiday yesterday afternoon.

I'm really shocked! I've had a lot of stomach surgery plus some other auto immune conditions and have been told we would have great difficulty conceiving. My boyfriend and I have been so so unlucky for the last 3 years so we are both a bit

I feel quite guilty writing this as I know some of you have been trying for a longer time.

Yay congratulations @PeanutButterJellyTime2

Congrats @PeanutButterJellyTime2 no need to feel guilty..enjoy every moment!

Yesterday morning/afternoon I didn’t have anymore ewcm and thought that was fine as must have ovulated. Then yesterday evening I had loads, took another OPK and it was really dark! Ended up having to talk OH into DTD again, he’s now got man flu so was a bit of a struggle!

Fantastic news to read this morning, @PeanutButterJellyTime2! I am so happy for you.

I am currently at 4dpo and been crazy at symptom spotting. Just this morning,I can feel the twinges/movements in my uterus (implantation?) and woke up with sore boobies.

My AF is due on 2nd Sept so I am (trying) to hold off from early testing. We also look forward for a summer baby(ies) (still having that wishful thinking to have twins)

Hope all is keeping well x

Congratulations @PeanutButterJellyTime2! Great news! x

@em254 did you dtd whilst waving an tissue with olbas oil in front of his face??

Congrats @peanutbutterjellytime2

Ahahaha! I almost spat my tea out there 🤣No but that’s a good idea if we have to DTD again tonight!

I’ve never had to work so hard to get him over the line! I feel like a broken woman today! 🤣

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 congratulations!! What lovely news for you x

@Lov3Rosie we're cycle twins! I'm also 4dpo and due 2nd September (according to fertility friend anyway). Also hoping for twins here! I'm a twin and it's great. When do you think you'll test? I've only got a couple in the house so will probably try to save them until my period is late.

Congrats @PeanutButterJellyTime2 xx

@Smileyface32 I've had four in a row before (although that was 3 consecutive, one day missed and then the 4th same one).

When is everyone thinking of testing? I think I might start testing around 8 or 9 DPO with some cheapies purely because waiting until AF feels like such a long time away!

@em254 part of my problem with testing early is I have no idea how sensitive the tests I have are. Do they normally have this info on the packet? I wouldn't want to test early unless they're really sensitive ones.

@KinCat I know what you mean as generally the cheaper ones are less sensitive. I think they should state on the packet though. I know it’s probably a waste of time and money but I am POAS addict and kind of use it to pass they days. 14 days of waiting feels like a lifetime!
