Too early for a September bus?

[KinCat]

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.

Yaaaay congrats bunting!! No questions about that one!!! Xxx

Congratulations Bunting!

Aww congrats @buntingandstarcharts 💕 xx

@buntingandstarcharts congrats hun! X

@buntingandstarcharts aaah yessss!!!! 😧🤩

Thanks everyone, you're all so kind. I will keep you updated as period due on Monday. Good luck to those still in! Xxxxx

I'm joining the bus! Late in the day, I know. Didn't want to join until the TWW.

Congrats @buntingandstarcharts!!

TTC #1
Cycle 3
CD19
AF/BFP due - who knows. Roughly 30 day cycles so far, so maybe September 26th.

This is my first cycle using BBT and OPKs, and had a positive OPK today! Which seems really late, don't know if it's been that late for the past two cycles and I haven't known, or if AF is due CD34 rather than CD31. Will test on 27th September I think, which should be 12dpo, and one day late by normal cycle length.

Am I right in thinking that positive OPK = ovulating tomorrow, so tomorrow is 0dpo? That's what Glow is telling me at any rate.

So excited to get using the Countdown to Pregnancy website 😁 I think it gets much more interesting post ovulation. Best of luck those still on the bus!

Congrats @buntingandstarcharts! And welcome @mussie. I don’t use OPKs (just temp) so not sure but I’m sure someone else will answer soon.

Feeling a bit rubbish today, I really hate my job but can’t leave because I’ve just qualified for enhanced maternity and I’m not sure we can afford the mortgage on statutory (DH is freelance). And I have zero symptoms. I’m only on 7dpo but I think my boobs looked a bit different by this point last time (ended in mmc).

Urgh, I want a baby so much but I also really miss my carefree 20s sometimes.

@mussie hi again! I use OPKs, generally yes most people ovulate the day after a positive so tomorrow you'd be 0dpo and Sunday 1dpo. Ovulation can occur anywhere from 12-48 hours after positive though. Most just count the next day as Ov day for ease 😊

@ronniemipperton I'm in exactly the same position, I don't like my job either but can't leave coz of enhanced mat pay. I just keep trying to tell myself that having a baby is worth staying lol 😂

Had a small break; but this is first month of ttc. In the fertile window I think atm so trying the every other day business haha! See how it works !

Good to see you again @rollerskaterdata! End of the month buddies ☺️ are you due roughly around the 26th as well?

Best of luck with the BDing @GreyC 😁

@mussie yaye! My AF is due 25th Sept so day before you I think, but you know me I'm ridiculously impatient and will be testing from 12dpo - at least I'm not starting as early as I did last month though! 😂 so 22nd is my first testing date. Will you wait until AF due/late?

@rollerskaterdata going to wait until a day late, which will be 12dpo. So is kind of testing early really 😂 given the late ovulation I probably shouldn't test until the 29th, but I'm not waiting that long!!

Well, cd27 no sign of af yet. Should have some spotting by now.
Tho I'm on progesterone so maybe it's just messed everything up 🤷🏻‍♀️
The natural cycles app that's never been greatly reliable says I haven't ovulated and that af is due Tuesday. 🤔 I'm pretty sure it's wrong, but I'm keeping in mind that maybe I'm not due till Tuesday.
I've had af cramps and expected to have af by now.
I'm going to test in the morning if she's not arrived.
Still 98% convinced I'm not pregnant. Be a bloody shock if I am after 14months and everything else fertility 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well i woke up this morning, nipped to the loo and low and behold, an IC is sitting on my sink. It is a bfn of course (I'm only 8dpo). I have no recollection of doing it, so my only conclusion is i must have done it when i got up to pee at 5am and i was still half asleep 😂 so much for not testing early!!

Haha @Chocolate89 I’ve definitely done that before (and then fallen asleep and been really confused about whether it actually happened or I dreamt it!). Fingers crossed for you in a few days!

Hi! Newbie here, totally new to mumsnet as well though I've been lurking on this thread to work out what the flip you're all talking about

36
TTC #1
Cycle 0.1 (beta testing)

So after loads of agonising we decided to go for it, but this month was really a pretend month, knowing chances were low and preferring to enjoy our holiday and not think about it too much.

I have fairly regular cycles of 27-29 days except the odd one, happened to be July was only 20 days. Very unusual. Not tried OPK yet, but have some in the drawer for next month.

I didn't think I would be jumping on this thread as we only DTD once while on holiday before getting upset stomachs pretty bad, and according to flo app it's likely that was 1 or 2 dpo. So I thought, very slim chance.

Now however I am on day 29 of cycle, so overdue (it has gone past 29 before, just not for a while). This would be 14 days since we DTD and perhaps 16DPO. So who knows, could be lucky timing.

I feel like AF is about to arrive though, have done for a few days. But I've also had cramps from bad stomach since the holiday. Possibly another reason I am late, I've been pretty unwell.

I did a cheapo test and BFN. Though I peed on it wrong and possibly flooded it. But it was as negative as you can get :) Figure I would wait a few days until I'm unreasonably late and try a clear blue.

Laughed at two of you above saying you hate your jobs but can't leave due to the maternity benefits - same here!

Welcome @Beeseeinya! Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Being stuck in a job you don’t like is so annoying! I kind of want to do a drastic career change but now is really not the time. They should warn you about this at school 😐

Well, cd28 today. I would have normally started spotting by now. I have 26-28d cycles usually. But looking back I've been spotting on cd28 and full on cd29.

I've not been able to test due to sharing an apartment with brother in law and his girlfriend on holiday.
I'm still pretty certain I'm not pregnant. Be good to test to get it outta my system 🙄
I have my clear blue monitor with mr, but it's not asking me to test again yet which is odd. And I physically can't use that test unless it asks for it which is really f** annoying!

We're doing our own thing tomorrow, so I might see if I can find a FRER test in a Spanish pharmacy 😬

Sorry tmi... has anyone that's got their bfp had ew cm instead of af???

I'm due today but no sign, so I'm drinking my massive cocktail wondering if I should be or not 😂

@Wishful30 Yes! I had several patches of ewcm during TWW...

@LittleTipple I've done so well not poas every day 😂
And at 12dpo I had a bfn but using the clear blue advanced monitor. When I looked at the stick I could see a faint line. Assuming yet another chemical, I've come on holiday, unable to test and with af supplies.
I don't want to get excited as maybe I'll just be late due to being on the progesterone for the first time. But I've had af cramps on and off for 3 days, lasting a matter of seconds really, but enough to make me take supplies with me wherever I go 🙄

I'll prob just be late this month. but if my monitor lets me I'll try and test tomorrow 🤞🏻

Oops, I'm out! Epic AF today. Will use it as a good excuse for duvet day and a big glass of wine later!
I had started to wonder if I was just magically pregnant on the first go, I had all sorts of weird symptoms, including a rash that started 2 days ago. Oh well

@Wishful30 my first sign that something was different to usual before bfp was lots of extra wetness (I usually am the complete opposite throughout my cycle).... xxx

@buntingandstarcharts I tend to always need lube 🙄 sorry tmi 😂
So very odd this has been going on for a few days now with no other af signs 🤔
