August Bus

[Louise190]

I couldn't find an August Bus so thought I'd set one up! AF got me this morning ☹️

Age 28
CD1
Cycle 5
TTC 1

Have tried temping and testing, relaxed it all a fair bit last cycle due to my temporary insanity!

@Louise190 I also advise against it! I just feel different this month it’s strange

@november90 it's okay to feel that way. I've found recently that using the headspace app has helped me to deal with some things. I've had therapy in the past, years ago for unrelated reasons and it's similar to what I can remember of that. Hate to sound like I'm selling something but it honestly just helps me with my mind. Especially when I feel like I'm just surrounded by BFPs. I love how many supportive people there are on this thread! I just know I can check in and speak to like minded people.

I think I'm holding off to test again as my pattern, as I've probably previously mentioned, has been to test and then get my period more or less straight away which felt like a double gut punch. I've had cramps all of last night. Different to usual but then that little voice in my head says I'm reading too much into stuff. There was some pulling about 5am. Took my temps this morning and they still haven't gone back up since yesterday's dip. Who knows.

I hope everyone who tests gets their BFP and I hope you have screenshot your replies @november90. Keep reading them and focus on yourself and most of all being kind to yourself.

@whatsthecraic91 oh interesting! 🤞🏻 Presumably your app is telling you you're due at the weekend? Are you normally on time with them?

@whatsthecraic91 omg I am DESPERATE to test!!! Trying to wait until weds which is still super early but even that feels like forever away!! I'd rather just know one way or the other then can move onwards and upwards!

@Louise190 you're so restrained waiting until af is late!! I am jealous that you're so much more strong willed than me

@Louise190 yes due Saturday/Sunday! I just feel different, I have sore nipples for the first time ever, weird cramps, sore back, tiredness and moody! Could be my body playing tricks on me!!

@rachieg88 I think I might in the morning

Yes do it!! If it's bfn you can always just try again in another day or two (let's be honest it would be one day!)

I will test too fingers crossed and baby dust for you!!

@rachieg88 I’m so excited now!! Love island final then sleep to test for the morning!! Good luck xx

😂😂😂 @Rachieg88 I tested today 😂🙈 BFN!

@whatsthecraic91 I don't want to stir the pot but they all sound VERY promising!! 🤞🏻

Are you both testing tomorrow morning? Omg I'm so excited for you! 🙈🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Louise190 I’m testing in the morning!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hahaha sure @Rachieg88 has done enough pot stirring for everyone DO IT 😂😂

Same here!

Can't believe I have caved already.....i really thought this month I would be good and not so ant test I'll af was late!!

@rachieg88 I say that every month! How long have you been TTC?

Oh no @Louise190 sorry to hear about your bfn but hopefully it is just too early....

@Rachieg88 @whatsthecraic91 let us know how you get on!!!

Hellooo everyone ! Thought I would pop back on after avoiding the page for a while.. I’m now 105 days since post pill withdrawal bleed and nothing since. Haven’t been getting stressed about it though thankfully I’ve become more chilled but I don’t think il get my May 2020 baby 👶

Just left a test on top of the loo to remind me to do it with fmu (as if I would forget!!!!) - my husband thinks I'm crazy

Night guys fingers crossed for the morning! X

Well BFN!! Should have known!

BFN for me too suprise suprise!!

It’s not over until AF shows, we have maybe tested too early 🤞🏼

I didn't want to feel left out so also tested.. BFN 🙄😂

It's so disheartening seeing the words " not pregnant" altho I think I am only 7dpo so maybe too early. I'm going to test again on Friday and NO SOONER!!

Morning guys! Sorry to hear about your bfn but remember you all still have lots of time for a positive to show! I have a huge problem with testing too early. I buy a big batch of cheapies off eBay so don’t feel too bad that I’m wasting money but my husband still gets annoyed! I’ve got a second scan this morning to see if the cysts on my ovaries have reduced in size. If they haven’t it could be a reason why I’m struggling to conceive. Also do you get your partners to take multi vitamins? I’m trying desperately to get mine to take a vitamin every night but it’s like dealing with a child! He doesn’t like the taste of them so moans and hides them from me. They are so expensive as I brought the preconception pregnacare ones!

Hello all! This is my first month officially trying but have been lurking for a good few months on these threads. Really sorry to see all the BFN's but it's not over until AF arrives

Usually have a regular 28/29 day cycle but had a longer one a couple of months back so I'm not feeling ultra optimistic that my cycle will stay predictable now...currently thinking I'm around 6/7 dpo and had the most unbearable stomach cramps this morning.

Hi can I join please?

Last month we didn't really try just didn't prevent. This will be the first month that we actually try properly.
Bit of a dilemma though, my mil is organising a suprise holiday to Barc for Oct 2020 for my oh's big birthday. Thinking I might have to stop trying until March otherwise we won't be able to go... 🤔 Or should I just see what happens and risk spoiling her plans?

@kahstorm I hope your tests go well and they either show all ok or give you great advice on how to maximise your chances next cycle. It must be annoying having additional things to deal with on top of the usual conundrum that is ttc!

@Vio112 I would say definitely just go with the flow. Try not to plan your life around ttc (easier said than done I know!!) as you just don't know how or when it might happen! Altho saying that, I am notoriously bad at giving advice- said the same thing to my friend and she ended up getting married like a week after giving birth which I understand was pretty stressful all round!!!

I am wfh today and finding it so hard to concentrate knowing that I have tests upstairs even tho I have already had bfn with fmu!! I have lost the plot completely this tww 😂

@Vio112 I second not planning your life around TTC. The thing is, it's not guaranteed that we fall pregnant when we want to and we could be prolonging what could already be a long journey for us. Also, I find it is emotionally and mentally exhausting to say "I can't do this or go to that because I MIGHT be pregnant or have a newborn then". It's important to continue life as normal (as best we can) to preserve our sanity! Good luck!!
