Too early for a September bus?

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.

Tested this morning at 7dpo - unsurprisingly the test remained glaringly white! I'll try and wait till 10dpo before doing the next one.

@Newbie21 there are a few of us due 5/6th. Let's get through it together! I'm spending the bank holiday decorating what about you all?

Hello all! Now in my first 2ww with ttc 2! Not feeling like it gunna happen this month but we will see!

thatshabbychick · 26/08/2018 08:08

Hi all. I'm currently 7DPO and getting very impatient to test. I've had cramping for the last couple of days, which I don't think I normally get at this time of my cycle. Period due 2nd/3rd Sept, so I should really wait another full week, but I'm not going to be able to!! The waiting game is horrible and the symptom spotting is annoying as well! 😩x

shelly10 · 26/08/2018 08:26

Hi everyone! Hope you're all ok- congrats @PeanutButterJellyTime2!!!! Hoping there are loads more BFPs on our bus soon!

According to my Ovia app, I'm on CD12 (TTC #1, Cycle 2) and my fertile window starts today 💫 Bought some Clearblue OPKs for the first time yesterday and as I've never even POAS before, I was excited so gave it a go lol! But really got me hoping this is the month! Xx

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 08:39

@thatshabbychick I'm due on the 2nd too. 🤞 in my head I'm pregnant so hopefully the same is true in reality 😂🙈 so nervous x

MuddyElephant · 26/08/2018 08:51

@newbie21 @veeboo I'm due 5th too. Away at the moment so no chance to test but plenty of chance to symptom dpot Confused also carrying on my bbt to understand my patterns

em254 · 26/08/2018 09:02

I’m another for the 5th, and also symptom spotting like mad. I’m only 3/4 DPO which is Obvs too early for anything but yesterday I had some sharp pinching pains... probably wind or something but my brain is like oooh early implantation!! 🙈😂

Lov3Rosie · 26/08/2018 09:59

@KinCat hey cycle buddy! Now I am tempted to test, too! Why was yours remained white? Did the test not work?

@thatshabbychick @ImpatientMammy we're all on the same cycle. And I am feeling the same way, too - feel so pregant and fingers crossed it's going to be real in a week's time for us. X

@veeboo, I’m decorating too! And trying to prise fiancé off the sofa to brave ikea and go and buy a bedside table, lamp, picture frames etc

4 dpo and feeling totes emosh! Burst into tears because I overcooked the soft boiled eggs!! Kind of hope I’m preggo cause otherwise I’m just mental!

thatshabbychick · 26/08/2018 14:18

@Lov3Rosie Oh that's nice, we can all be testing at the same time! Although, I think I may crack and may end up testing early! I've been having cramping again today and it's worse than normal. I felt really emotional yesterday and today too and I'm never normally like this! Hope my intuition is right, otherwise I'm just losing my marbles!!x

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 14:52

I was really teary the other day put it in this website and aparrantly it made me less likely to be pregnant 🙈 someone on last months board shared it and I really like it just wish it was an app

I tested again yesterday on first response completely negative and I was 10 dpo and 5 days before period and it says it should work from 6 days 😕 still got terrible nausea in the evenings which I had with DD. Had a total what the hell have I done wobble yesterday!

cupcakesandglitter · 26/08/2018 20:41

@GreatestShowWoman maybe leave it a couple of days and see? X

em254 · 26/08/2018 21:25

@GreatestShowWoman was that with fmu? Maybe too early still with 5 days to go before AF, sounds like you have some
Positive signs 👍🏻

GreatestShowWoman · 26/08/2018 21:27

No it was mid day when I was child free

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 22:09

@GreatestShowWoman please don't worry yourself about a 10dpo mid day test it's still early even for fmu there's definitely still hope yet x

Lubilu28 · 26/08/2018 22:18

So I started testing with my last clearblue opks on Thursday and I’ve had a smiley face everyday since! That’s 4 days in a row 😱 Googled it and found some good stories but also bad ones :( I definitely had some sharp cramping this afternoon so hoping that was big O!!

I’ve ran out of opks now so I won’t be able to test! Been BDing everyday since Tuesday and planning on dtd all week being as were in Rome and child free lol

Anyone else ever experienced long LH surges or heard of any good outcomes from it??

ImpatientMammy · 26/08/2018 22:36

@Lubilu28 my friend conceived twins 2 days apart I'm guessing ovulating twice would have given her a longer surge but she wasn't using OPKs just keep BDing 🤞 fingers crossed for you x

Thisimmortalcurl · 26/08/2018 23:03

@GreatestShowWomen fingers crossed a positive coming your way.

KinCat · 27/08/2018 02:47

Another snowy white test today. Not surprising at 8dpo! Now I've run out of tests and have vowed not to test again until September when my period's due. It's not like I've even got any symptoms!

OP posts:
PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 27/08/2018 06:54

@Lubilu28 I didn't even know that was possible!

Crossing fingers for you @GreatestShowWoman

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 27/08/2018 06:54

Sorry, I mean @ImpatientMammy about the two twins over two days!!

Smileyface32 · 27/08/2018 07:16

I’m on 12dpo and have spotting this morning. Think I’m out for the September bus. Also feeling like the cramps about to start 😒

muddypuddlejumping · 27/08/2018 08:14

I'm now 3dpo and glad to be getting on with the 2ww. Have slightly sore boobs but obviously it's way too early for any symptoms.

I had ib with my first so I'll be looking out for it this time around as well! 😬

Good luck to all of you approaching test day!
