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.

sbhf1987 · 30/08/2018 14:52

@thatshabbychick amazing news!! Congrats xx

ImpatientMammy · 30/08/2018 15:12

Congratulations @thatshabbychick !!! That's amazing. Here's to a lucky thread girls 🤞 x

@veeboo, newbie21 my frers didn’t arrive today so earliest I’d be testing is 10dpo but might try and hold out until Monday. This is only cycle 3 for me and I’m prepared that this may take a while. I know testing early is pretty pointless but it helps me feel like I’m doing something and helps pass the days! I had some cramping on the lower left hand side and hot flashes....🤷‍♀️

em254 · 30/08/2018 16:27

Congratulations that’s fab news!!! 🎉@thatshabbychick

veeboo · 30/08/2018 16:55

Woohoo congratulations!

Pregnacare is a multivitamin (contains folic acid) and if you take additional folate, this could be too much. So, check with your doctor to make sure your supplement amounts are safe. For the CoQ10, it is better absorbed in a water and fat-soluble supplement form. Research suggests it supports fertility in both men and women. And, as a previous poster mentioned, the CoQ10 may have additional benefits (antioxidant, heart health support, energy support).
@sbhf1987 Some research suggests amounts of 100 to 600 mg CoQ10 daily.

@thatshabbychick huge congrats, was going to come on for a whinge to say I reckon I’m out with a week to go, but you’ve inspired me to stay quietly optimistic...

7DPO - boobs slightly less sore which is usually bad sign. But stuffy nose, reduced appetite and headachey with a bit of nausea this morning. So either picked up a bug from work or feeling crap for a good reason 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻

veeboo · 30/08/2018 18:42

@em254 @newbie21 so glad we are in it together. Fx for us. So hoping I don't get the dreaded AF pains on Monday

em254 · 30/08/2018 19:07

Veeboo, few days before AF I normally get that dull achey heavy feeling and sometimes spotting. I’m getting a lot of left side cramps today which was the same side I cramped with when ovulating. I really try and be light hearted the first week of the TTW but as the days are ticking on my mind seems to go into overdrive! I’m glad we are all in this together, OH is very relaxed and chilled about the whole thing he’d think I’m crazy I’d he read my posts 🙈😂

MuddyElephant · 30/08/2018 19:09

Congrats @thatshabbychick. Fx for some more BFPs to come. I'm 8dpo and had some twinges but more likely my ibs than anything else. I hate the tww 😣

Bubblemumma1 · 30/08/2018 19:12

Hello to all all the new ladies!

Congratulations!! @thatshabbychick

Thanks for that @Changingagain
I’ll stick it out for this cycle because it’s too late to start faffing around with the Clearblue OPKs that I used last time. According to my app I should ovulate this Saturday, so perhaps I’ve started using them too soon.

veeboo · 30/08/2018 20:23

@em254 I wouldn't say my bf is calm, just completely ignorant! As a 37yo man he knows so little about female biology it's really worrying!

Thisimmortalcurl · 30/08/2018 20:28

Hi@MuddyElephant . I’m also 8 days P.O.
My boobs are so sore today .
This tww is very frustrating yes!
When will you test ?

dragonmummy17 · 30/08/2018 21:00

@thatshabbychick thats fantastic news congratulations!

Anyone else find OPKs weirdly fascinating. I did my first two yesterday and today, photographed both and finding it really interesting to see a slightly darker line.
I think I will ovulate either tomorrow or Saturday but as it's my first month using OPKs I might be surprised!

bananabanana · 30/08/2018 21:43

@ImpatientMammy This is our 10th cycle but our 9th of properly trying! How about you? xx

@sbhf1987 Sounds great, think I'll get some! YAY for peak smiley!!! xx

ImpatientMammy · 30/08/2018 22:19

@bananabanana I've been trying since November but my OH works away a lot so this is the first cycle he's been home for my whole fertile week 🤞 x

bananabanana · 30/08/2018 22:22

@ImpatientMammy ahh amazing!!!🤞🤞🤞x

Newbie21 · 30/08/2018 22:23

I caved and took a FRER this morning at 8 DPO - totally too early but it's DH's birthday so was hoping there was an outside chance of happy news. Suffice to say BFN! Will definitely not test til AF is late now. Hang on in there girls on the TWW!!

Chocolate89 · 30/08/2018 22:43

Hello ladies! Can i join 👋

Age: 29
TTC: #2 (ds 9 years old)
Cycle: #5 ( mc July @ 7weeks)
AF/BFP: Sept 16th

I've been following all the updates and so happy to see some happy bfp for people 😊 so exciting. Hopefully you will sprinkle the baby dust 💫 I'm on cycle day 12, I've been using CB digital and getting blanks so far.. usually ovulate cd14 and have ewcm atm. Temping and using FF app too (all bases covered 😂) Anyone find them unreliable?

sbhf1987 · 30/08/2018 22:55

@Chocolate89 they’ve worked for me ok the last 2 months. I had 5 flashing before my peak last month and 3 flashing before peak this month. I do wonder if I tested yesterday afternoon would I have got my peak? I think I’m more than likely ovulating today than tomorrow due to cramping. Will DTD again tomorrow then have a break, 4th day of DTD in a row and we are shattered! X

Chocolate89 · 30/08/2018 23:30

@sbhf1987 oh i hear you! 😂We are giving it a rest tonight, hopefully will get some sort of smiley face tomorrow and then we can crack on. Are you using fmu? They say to use that for the cb digital but i know a lot of the others say mid morning-afternoon to catch the lh surge. I have a few of the boots ovulation sticks left over from last month so might use them the afternoon of cd14 and cd15. Then we will be into the wonderful relaxing time that is the tww 🤪😂

MuddyElephant · 31/08/2018 06:36

@Thisimmortalcurl great to have another buddy, there are a few of us on very similar cycle days. I'm away from home atm and at a wedding this weekend, so won't have chance to test. Will prob wait till Weds when FP is due as I find BFNs so depressing. How about you?
