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.

@veeboo Ah I feel your pain, I have done that many times! I remember with my 2nd baby, I tested day before I was due and neg then the next day the faintest line! I could not believe it!

I just wiped and had some dark dark brown tiny streaks... so probably period about to start - ah well!

I don't know why (considering I've never had to "try" before, it's just happened), but I got some OPKs the other day. Because I had a miscarriage on 7th/8th August I have no idea when to expect ovulation. I took a test on Wednesday and there was a fairly faint line in the test window which was definitely lighter than the control line. Then I took one yesterday and there was no line at all in the test window but one in the control window, so the test did work. Does this mean that I ovulated before I took the first test? Or does it just mean nothing?

ImpatientMammy · 01/09/2018 19:40

@coastergirl it's hard to say for definite but I'd say if it wasn't even close to a posative keep testing as your LH can fluctuate all the time without a peak
@Lemonsugar245 it's always nice to have a cycle buddy 🤞

Newbie21 · 01/09/2018 19:53

@veeboo it's still super early and esp if not FMU.

I'm going to try and hold out to see if AF shows up.

Lemonsugar245 · 01/09/2018 19:54

@ImpatientMammy it is nice to have someone in the same like when can I test realisbly. It’s like I could test tomorrow but I don’t really have symptoms at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least it’s the weekend

coastergirl · 01/09/2018 19:58

Thanks @ImpatientMammy

veeboo · 01/09/2018 20:09

@Newbie21 I'm back to that approach with you. Roll on Thursday!

Queenofmyownheart · 01/09/2018 20:28

@em254 awww congrats fabulous news!! AF got me Thursday so I'm definitely out this month. Been in actual agony, had long convo with The other half last night and he's convinced me to go to the doctors and find out what's going on. I had been having some weird bleeding and cramps last year, had a smear and many many (!) various tests and they couldn't find the root of the problem so I just kind of left it because we weren't TTC at that point, however now I feel like it's important in our journey to new babyhood! Hopefully will be nothing bad 😊

charliedontsurf · 01/09/2018 20:42

@em254 huge congratulations!

@veeboo me too. Just thought I'd catch up on this thread whilst waiting for my 3 min frer result. BFN. Still only 9/10dpo here too so fx we have both just tested too early! Gonna have to try so hard not to test again in the next few days!

Messyhouse5 · 01/09/2018 21:21

If I had a test I would be using it now so glad I have none left, twice today I have had the smallest bits of dark brown blood or discharge and the rest of the time absolutely nothing... normally when I get a show a few days before my period it slowly builds. I could drive myself made with this.

I feel very crampy though.

Anyone else due today but didn't come on?

Thisimmortalcurl · 01/09/2018 21:48

I think I’m going to test tomorrow, I haven’t got any though so it won’t be fmu. I feel that I’m either going mad with the symptoms spotting or am actually pregnant.
Today my sense of smell is unreal .
So impatient!

Messyhouse5 · 01/09/2018 22:00

@Thisimmortalcurl good luck for tomorrow! x

Chocolate89 · 01/09/2018 22:06

@em254 awww massive congrats, what wonderful news! You must be so excited 😊 sprinkle your baby dust on us!

@veeboo def early days, not out yet!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

KatBeCool · 01/09/2018 22:41

@sbhf1987 I never a miscarriage, you might be thinking of someone else. But yeah, we're gonna add a couple of extra months. Not like my blood test results and others will change in two months.

ImpatientMammy · 01/09/2018 22:44

@Thisimmortalcurl could you pee in something with fmu and dip asap? I dunno if that's better or worse tbh 😂🤷🏻‍♀️
@Lemonsugar245 my leutal phase is quite short I'm only 4dpo so will try not to test till the day af is due x

Ailsamolly · 02/09/2018 00:39

Hello all
I'd like to join the wait if I can

I'm 29 and TTC #1 and this is my first time officially trying.

I'm symptom spotting like a trooper. About 5/6 dpo. Had cramp on one side for the past 2 days, painful boobs today, felt a little nauseous the past couple days. Very much aware that I could be placebo effecting myself and thinking I'm feeling things that aren't there. I'm so nervous but excited. I want to poas all the time just to see aha. Already done 2 bfn going to try and wait to see if I start my period on time. Due 11th. A friend has just found out she is expecting last month and excited as I am for her in still a little jelouse as I thought I was at the same time.

Fingers crossed for us all x

GreatestShowWoman · 02/09/2018 01:19

I’m out symptoms stopped mid week and all tests are bfn! Pre period spotting has started 3 days late. Can only think that something went wrong.

veeboo · 02/09/2018 07:34

@GreatestShowWoman. Are you okay? Do you think you might have ovulated later than you thought? Be kind to yourself today x

sbhf1987 · 02/09/2018 07:45

@KatBeCool hi lovely sorry if im losing the plot I can’t remember commenting anything about a m/c so think that message might be for someone else x

sbhf1987 · 02/09/2018 07:47

@KatBeCool just found the message I definitely got people mixed up! Half the message was for you and half for someone else so sorry x

Newbie21 · 02/09/2018 08:11

@GreatestShowWoman so sorry that AF has made an appearance.

dragonmummy17 · 02/09/2018 08:21

@GreatestShowWoman sorry it looks like AF is on its way

ImpatientMammy · 02/09/2018 08:26

Morning all sorry @GreatestShowWoman hope next months your month.
So I know it probably doesn't mean anything as I'm hyper symptom spotting but yesterday I had loads of lotiony Cm and a dull ache now this morning my RHR has gone up for the first time since ovulation (only 5dpo though). Can't help but feel a bit excited 🙈 x

veeboo · 02/09/2018 08:34

@ImpatientMammy I am also symptom spotting despite BFN yesterday. I'm 10dpo now and have had sore boobs for 4 days which is unusual for me. I've also noticed creamy CM which is unusual for this time. If AF is coming I should start to get cramps tomorrow.

MuddyElephant · 02/09/2018 08:48

Congrats @em254
