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.

Oo @CornishFairing hopefully you'll be our first BFP!

DH got back from a week away with work yesterday and we started off our baby making with an early night...must do better! I don't think I'll ovulate till the middle of the month anyway so we haven't missed much.

I've lost my folic acid which is annoying. I've not made any healthy lifestyle changes other than folic acid and trying to cut down on sugar.

@LumosNox I know what you mean about wanting to get it right! Temping seems pretty easy though. The app says my temps have more variation than usual and the timing is not always exactly the same but it's still easy to make out a pattern.

I'd like to join please 

TTC #3
Cycle 3

Currently miscarrying at 6 weeks. Hoping bleeding will stop soon and we can start trying again ASAP. @Littleray84 it sounds like we're in a similar position. I'm generally ok, but have the odd wobble. All a bit rubbish but trying to stay positive.

Littleray84 · 09/08/2018 10:01

Hi @LittleTipple what is the age gap with your other two children? My 2 are 16 and 10, feel like my body has forgotten how to do this pregnancy thing. I had a spontaneous Mc in March at 6 weeks also.
#3 Will be my partners first. It is shitty trying to stay positive isn't it.
This time I'm taking my pregnancy prep very seriously 😂I've stockpiled my pre conception vitamins and got back to the gym yesterday trying to keep myself In tip top shape 😊

DoubleChocaMocha · 09/08/2018 13:57

Hi all,

This is my first post. Can I hop too?

Age: 30
TTC: #1
Cycle: I'm coming off the pill this Monday, so no idea!

I'm a bit nervous with all this, to be honest. Also scared to have the real AF again as I did a rest on the pill two years ago and my periods were really heavy and painful, so bad that some months I had to leave work.

BTW my DH is really jealous I'm writing in this thread as he wants to be part of it too. Please, tell him he's also welcome Grin

ImpatientMammy · 09/08/2018 15:11

@DoubleChocaMocha welcome and I can't see why dads can't chat🤔 I know my other half would find it a bit tmi when people are discussing Cm tender breasts etc x

LumosNox · 09/08/2018 17:04

Welcome to those new to the September bus!

@KinCat thank you for the encouragement about temping. I'll probably give it a month or two and then try temping if monitoring CM isn't getting me anywhere! 😊

@DoubleChocaMocha I agree with @ImpatientMammy, your DH is more than welcome if he wants to join in! My DH would be a little out of his depth. 😅

userabcname · 09/08/2018 17:44

Hello all! I think I am ovulating...have had sharp pinching in lower right side today...I have everything crossed that I am and that we catch it!! I'm probably totally wrong though so not getting hopes up! Is anyone else still breastfeeding? I am bf-ing my 14mo and was worried it may impact fertility? GP said it shouldn't but just wondering if anyone is doing the same?

LittleTipple · 09/08/2018 21:57

@Littleray84 I'm still in the little children phase! Mine are 3 and 1. I suppose it makes sense that the more times you are pregnant, the higher the chance of miscarriage. I'm just praying we are lucky again. I'd hate to finish my pregnancy journey with a miscarriage. I feel like I'd always be wondering 'what if.' Anyway, feeling fairly positive and sending out good vibes to the universe.

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 10/08/2018 15:19

Hello all!

Can I join please?

TTC baby 1 and am on month 3 of trying. I'm 3dpo (I think) and have said to my DH I hide the tests this month as I had 2 faint negatives last month and then a normal period which I found really disheartening!

@ununpentium - I have a j pouch! Hope you are keeping well with your ileostomy

AF/BFP due 2nd September

First cycle of the pill so not sure if my body will decide to go back to my normal 28 day cycle.

Good Luck to us all :D

GreatestShowWoman · 11/08/2018 13:49

CornishFairing we’re due the same day!

KinCat · 11/08/2018 15:41

Hi everyone! I'm pleased because based on my last cycle ovulation this month should be on a Sunday which is as good as it can be because DH is away Monday - Thursday most weeks. Just going to try and DTD as much as possible while he is here. Not too stressed about it though. Today was the first time I've ever had unprotected sex in my life so I've really no idea how easy or not it would be to get pregnant.

CD 1
AF/BFP due 8th Sep

Have been trying to do as close to SMEP as possible for previous 6 months or so. Will follow it again this month and also have some pre seed in order although normally have some EWCM anyway. Worth a try though!

Fingers crossed for a good month!

Lemonsugar245 · 11/08/2018 18:40

Jumping on.

Age 37

Hopefully will be lucky no 7 for us!

Not had any proper symptoms before but that's not stopped me covinicing myself to try a test a clue of days before af is due 🤦🏻‍♀️Just in case.

Good luck to everyone!

NoseringGirl · 12/08/2018 13:07

CD1 for me today so jumping on the September bus!

Age 35
TTC #3
Cycle 4

I have PCOS and both my DSs took a while (nearly 18 months each) to conceive so I expected it to take a while again. I got a BFP on our second cycle trying this time but it ended in a chemical. I was gutted but it's given me a bit of hope that it might not take as long this time.

ImpatientMammy · 12/08/2018 19:19

Really struggling with the fact I'm not pregnant this cycle feeling a lot of pressure as this is my last chance to BD during ovulation until Christmas as my Other half works at sea. Just needed someone to complain to really. how's everyone today ? X

GreatestShowWoman · 12/08/2018 20:37

Are people tracking or just seeing how it goes? Because I’m donor inseminating I’m tracking and have been for a few months.

mrss2018 · 12/08/2018 21:12

Af has just arrived 6 weeks after mc!
I'm so happy! And hopefully that means I'll ovulate on the first night of our honeymoon! Grin

Hopping on board a bus for the first time...

Age 31
TTC #1
Cycle 3

So last cycle I’m pretty sure I had a very early miscarriage, which ended up as 2 days of heavy bleeding after AF being a week late and having extensive pregnancy symptoms that I’ve never had before. I’m not sure if this next cycle will be normal yet. I’ve stopped bleeding completely on #CD3.

I’m just tracking with clue and having regular sex. I’ve not used any ovulation or temperature trackers but may do so in a few months if no baby dust coming our way...

NoseringGirl · 12/08/2018 23:19

@GreatestShowWoman I'm tracking, I use an Ava bracelet and OPKs. I've been tracking since 2011 when we started TTC our first and am hooked now! It's a very bizarre hobby 🤣

veeboo · 13/08/2018 07:59

Hi all. So glad we've got this board to support one another. Sorry to hear about your miscarriages ladies. I am tracking. My cycle is 30-33 days so start opks around CD 13 but tend to ovulate cd16/17. We don't dtd enough not to track!

EverythingNow · 13/08/2018 08:09

Please may I join you all? AF has just booted me off the August bus!

Age: 39

Cycle: 15, miscarriage in April.

This month I've bought some new supplements as suggested on the August bus and I'm going to try and be more healthy. I've got myself into a but of a comfort eating cycle which I need to break. I've also got my thermometer which I really will try and use this month Blush

Good luck everyone
