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.

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 neither did I until I started to read up about it! I’ve been using fmu to test but that’s what clearblue recommends, as long as u do it the same time each day!! Congrats on ur BFP 😍😍😍 🤞🏻 I get mine next month too xx

ImpatientMammy · 27/08/2018 08:26

@PeanutButterJellyTime2 I know it's weird isn't it. No idea if it's rare or not it's just what they told her at one of her appointments x

@GreatestShowWoman I am also 12dpo. I also did a mid day test at 10dpo (impulsively) and got a bfn!

Trying to wait until the very end of the month now.... I did have a couple d big spots but they've gone down now. I've felt on and off nausea for the past 2-3 days and yesterday got a glass of lemonade in a pub that tasted like metal.... but I never know if I'm imagining things or actually just a bit ill through sleep deprivation (DD1 v bad sleeper atm)....

I guess we will find out soon enough !! Good luck to allStar

Hey ladies I had a bit of a break for mumsnet (2 whole weeks lol) was getting myself too stressed out reading up on too much as my periods have been irregular for 3 months which is totally not like me and the first month actively ttc got me stressed right out!! I’m back but trying to stay away from google this cycle. CD11 and first flashing smiley on my CB Advanced Digi OPK. Plan for this week is to DTD every day if we can, hopefully ovulate around Friday or Sat if last months anything to go by. Sunday my DH is taking me away to a lovely hotel for the night and Monday to a lovely spa for my bday to hopefully start the TWW very relaxed. If it doesn’t happen again this month I’m out for the October bus as I’m in Italy on holiday without my DH for my fertile week next month! So fingers crossed and let’s hope I don’t lose the plot this month. Had my second acupuncture session last week with another on Weds. Hope you ladies are all keeping sane xxx

Shazafied · 27/08/2018 10:22

Oh @sbhf1987 I know what you mean about going insane and symptom spotting ! Welcome back and yes let's all try and chill !! Spa break sounds lovely , jealous !!!! Xx

sbhf1987 · 27/08/2018 10:36

Thanks @Shazafied trying to keep myself busy then at least if it’s bad news this month I have a holiday to enjoy. Xx

thatshabbychick · 27/08/2018 10:41

@KinCat I ended up caving this morning at 3.30am too (8DPO) it looks negative but if I look very closely I persuade myself I can possibly see the start of a shadow 😂🙈 I've ordered some cheapies off of Amazon which are arriving today. I'm going to do one tomorrow morning and if that's negative, I'm definitely waiting a couple more days! I have SUCH bad cramping! x

ImpatientMammy · 27/08/2018 12:02

My RHR has gone down today which I think means I'm out. Still 6 days till af though so hopefully it will jump back up x

em254 · 27/08/2018 12:19

Welcome back sbhf1987, spa day and night away sounds lovely, as does your acupuncture! Did you feel really relaxed afterwards? I need to chill out too, I feel my brain thinks about this 24/7!

em254 · 27/08/2018 12:21

@impatientMammy can I ask what RHR is? Is that resting heart rate? I don’t track that or temperature... I would probably enjoy all the analysis if I did!

ImpatientMammy · 27/08/2018 13:05

Yeah @em254 it's the resting heart rate. Temping never worked for me and my fit bit tells me my RHR so I know it's definitely not in my head or anything I've done it's just that. Only thing is it gives me an incling that I'm not pregnant about a week before it can be confirmed x

Alex2790 · 27/08/2018 13:05

Had a bit of a break from here but here are my mine
Age 27
Ttc. #1 for 13 months
Cycle day 22 af due 3rd sept

Tests from dr say nothings wrong me waiting for fertility clinic appointment and to get my boyfriends sperm tested.

ImpatientMammy · 27/08/2018 16:05

Positive OPK at CD21 have I got any chance? BD'd yesterday and will continue for the next few days just incase but my cycles only 26 days long I think the stress of being away with his family messed my cycle up x

muddypuddlejumping · 27/08/2018 16:41

Well I just had very thick and creamy cm which was slightly blood tinged but I'm only 3/4dpo (tmi). Very strange!

Any thoughts as to what this could mean?! Or the usual symptom spotting/ clutching at straws 😂

Changingagain · 27/08/2018 17:43

Hi, can I jump over from the August bus please. I've finally had a positive opk today, over two weeks late and two days after af was due.

shelly10 · 27/08/2018 17:49

Welcome back @sbhf1987! Hope this cycle goes well for you. How have you found acupuncture? X

Shazafied · 27/08/2018 17:55

Oh Christ what I have I done.

I'm 12 dpo, have been drinking loads of water and pop today and just 5 mins ago decided to poa(poundstretcher)s.

Now I'm so tired I'm not sure ... but could this be a faint faint eye squinting positive ?!!!

I'm going mad. It was so hard to photograph ... but my DH thinks he can see it too.

I'll try again with fmu of course.

cupcakesandglitter · 27/08/2018 18:00

@Shazafied I see it!!! Test again tomorrow? But looks like a BFP, congrats! Xx

Shazafied · 27/08/2018 18:02

Thanks ... I'm still a bit ... confused ?!!! I'll not believe it till I see it in clear pink and white !!

Or like with DD1 I might not believe it till I'm about 35 weeks gone.

I hope it doesn't disappear !

Good luck to everyone else, I'm still with you on they nerve wracking train !!!

ImpatientMammy · 27/08/2018 19:23

@Shazafied that's positive !! Congratulations

@muddypuddlejumping sounds like it could possibly be implantation 🤞 x

em254 · 27/08/2018 19:24

@Shazafied That looks positive to me! Congratulations!

@ImpatientMammy, I would say your in with a chance especially if you B’d yesterday and today! 🤞

GreatestShowWoman · 27/08/2018 19:31

Got another bfn tonight period due in 3 days so was feeling hopeful.

dragonmummy17 · 27/08/2018 19:32

@Shazafied I can see that line... congratulations

@ImpatientMammy I think you're still in with a chance... maybe you will just have a longer cycle this time?
