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.

@coastergirl fingers crossed you get a stronger line next time you test xx

sbhf1987 · 07/09/2018 15:51

@Ailsamolly that’s great so happy for you. At 7dpo I don’t have any symptoms. Only good thing is I haven’t started spotting as last month I spotted for a week before AF which hasn’t ever happened before x

Nulanoo · 07/09/2018 18:25

Congratulations!! X

Lubilu28 · 07/09/2018 18:39

@Ailsamolly big congrats Smile🎉

I’m really messed up this cycle, spotting this afternoon was heavier than it has been since Wednesday but now it’s gone back to nothing again!! Nothing in my pad just when I wipe!! It’s seriously doing my head in, I just wish af would start xxx

Ailsamolly · 07/09/2018 18:54

@sbhf1987 thankyou. Try a test around 10dpo it may show up if your pregnant. I didn't spot at all or at least I haven't yet if I will. There's still time for you :)

@Nulanoo thankyou very much

@Lubilu28 fingers crossed you get some answers soon. And thankyou xx

Nulanoo · 07/09/2018 18:57

Is anyone else feeling any nausea? Don’t know if it’s just in my head or not

coastergirl · 07/09/2018 19:19

@Ailsamolly thank you. I've no idea what to think. I have a UTI and now seem to have developed thrush and have a big spot or something down there (sorry major tmi) that is making my whole groin area so sore that it hurts to walk. Pretty fed up. I have a physically demanding job too so I'm very sore tonight. Wondering if all this is down to hormones? Wishful thinking.

For those worrying about spotting: I know everyone is different, but I had heavy spotting with my little boy from about 5-9 weeks and he's now a total lunatic 3.5 year old. On the other side, my mc last month started with spotting. I guess my point is that you can never really know.

dragonmummy17 · 07/09/2018 22:23

@Ailsamolly congratulations
@wishful30 I think I'll test next Friday when I'm around 12po. Only symptom so far is increased appetite but it's been a stressful week so more likely stress eating!

Wishful30 · 08/09/2018 07:14

@dragonmummy17

🙋🏻‍♀️ me too!! Tho we fly to Spain Friday morning, so I was thinking, Thursday night, at the airport? Or take one with me 🤔 😂
Pretty sure we've missed it this time tho 🙄

EverythingNow · 08/09/2018 09:08

13dpo today. And after blankety blank frer yesterday I have this. It's definitely positive, might be a late implanter/might be a sign of impending loss again as its faint for 13dpo. Fingers crossed though

Too early for a September bus?
Wishful30 · 08/09/2018 09:24

@EverythingNow
Ooohhh I had a few of these. It's such a torment!
Keeping everything firmly crossed for you, that line gets darker and you have have a super sticky little bean!!! 🤞🏻

EverythingNow · 08/09/2018 09:34

Thanks @wishful30. I'm currently feeling really foolish and disappointed. That picture was taken after 2 mins but before 10. I went back to look at it and the line has faded, to basically an indent line. So I took the other one in the packet using the same fmu and it's bfn.
I guess I must've flooded the test. It was pink, it did stick around for at least 15mins before fading. But the second test is proof it was false.

Gutted.

dragonmummy17 · 08/09/2018 09:39

@EverythingNow sorry that happened and you now have a BFN

I've just had some spotting. Even if I ovulated when I thought I did, this is early... I think I'm 7-8dpo. Am now wondering if the reason I didn't get a positive opk is because I ovulated really early this month

Wishful30 · 08/09/2018 09:44

@EverythingNow
Ah no 😣 I'm sorry.
I don't think flooding the test would bring up a pink line tho... it needs the hormone to dye it pink... 🤷🏻‍♀️
I'm still holding out hope for you. Hugs and positive vibes heading your way xxx

Wishful30 · 08/09/2018 09:45

@dragonmummy17
7-8dpo prime implantation timing 🤞🏻

EverythingNow · 08/09/2018 09:46

Thanks lovelies. Maybe just a dodgy test then. There's definitely nothing on either test now.

Ailsamolly · 08/09/2018 09:51

@EverythingNow possibly test again either tomorrow morn or in a few days. My first one at 10 dpo looked like that. I watched it creep up the test and I was sure I saw a line at first but then it looked like an indent. Then I took one yesterday at 11 dpo and it was clear. Picture at the top of this page fingers crossed for you x

sbhf1987 · 08/09/2018 10:09

@dragonmummy17 I had spotting last month from 7dpo, never had it before in my life but also had a peak OPK and my LP was fine that month. Hasn’t started again this month but I’ve learned over the last few months my body changes every month so no point in guessing symptoms. I couldn’t feel less pregnant if I tried. 8/9 dpo for me today. I did sleep for 10 and a half hours last night and could have slept longer but dogs woke me up! Think I’m just a lazy cow though lol
@EverythingNow I would test again with FMU tomorrow to be sure xxx

KatBeCool · 08/09/2018 12:22

@EverythingNow I had the same thing happen last month, it's so disappointing when the line goes away. I wish there was a quick at home test that'd just tell you the levels without any line searching and sadness when it disappears.

EverythingNow · 08/09/2018 13:00

Thanks @Katbecool I'm sorry you've had a similar experience too.

I've had many many indents over the past 16 cycles. And I had a very early loss in April. But I've never had one like this on a frer, on reflection it took about an hour to fade. I might complain to frer.

I would like that too, i was so sure this morning it wasn't even a squinter, i was totally shocked when I went for another reassurance peep and it was gone, i thought I'd picked up the wrong test!

EverythingNow · 08/09/2018 13:02

Thanks @Ailsamolly and @sbhf1987 I will do. AF is due tomottow anyway so if I dont wake to her ill go buy one.

sbhf1987 · 08/09/2018 13:30

Slight tinge of brown when wiping this morning, 8/9 dpo, started like this about 7 dpo last month and spotted 7 days til AF arrived. Not feeling confident now this month 💔

ImpatientMammy · 08/09/2018 14:07

@sbhf1987 I've been spotting too 😔 it's almost worse then CD1 🙈 x

sbhf1987 · 08/09/2018 14:32

@ImpatientMammy I agree as it’s the hope and trying to convince myself it’s IB, that spotting can mean either pregnancy or AF. At least when AF arrives we know for sure. I’ve never spotted til last month 😭

ImpatientMammy · 08/09/2018 14:39

@sbhf1987 I spotted earlier than normal this month so obviously I'm erratically going from defiantly pregnant to comfort eating cause it's never gunna happen 🙈 hope if AF is coming it arrives before I double in size x
