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!

@AliSxo yes i do!!

@tiredmoma it's so frustrating isn't it!! I've lost 6 pounds in the last month so I'm trying my best. I know plenty of very obese ladies who carried healthy babies but I'd prefer to be lighter than I am. However, it's unrealistic for me to get to a BMI of 25 for now, I'll lose what I can though xxx

@AliSxo
Yes mine is 31

@Rosabuddy yes I counted first day of withdrawal bleed as CD1. My first real AF came on CD45 and now waiting to see how long this second cycle will be. It’s a bit confusing..!

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear you got a bfn this morning. You're not out yet tho 🤞

@Sunshine8888 Iv no idea what I’m doing lol totally new to this!! Thanks for the info!

@whatsthecraic91 I don't understand it, what makes them different! I am all over the snacks tonight!! Any news your end?

@AliSxo mine is 31 at the moment! I'm using it as a distraction from TTC, something else to focus on by getting fit and healthy. Or trying to anyway 🙈 as long as we don't count the food consumed during AF! 🙈🙈

AF arrived for me today. 3 days early! Nevermind, back to cd1. Hopping on the September bus next... good luck everyone!

@Louise190 the days before AF makes her appearance I could eat constantly, I don't mind giving myself a few more treats than normal as I think my body needs the energy but just trying to get my bmi into the overweight sector as opposed to obese.... xx

@Skyla01 keep trying babe!! xx

@Skyla01 sorry to hear about AF! At least the cycles are getting shorter!?

@AliSxo I try not to pay too much attention to BMI because there are a lot of factors it doesn't take in to account but it doesn't hurt to use it as a measuring tool!

AF due in 2 days and it's dragggiiinngggg 😂😂 been the hungriest woman ever this past 5 days so feel like she's defo on her way 😅 however major constipated today and soo tired so no idea what to think about it all

@Rachieg88 thanks, was really hoping for a BFP after all my symptoms 😓 my body is playing tricks on me!! How are you keeping?

@Louise190 glad you’re treating yourself you deserve it!! No news, no AF! I’m currently in bed huffing with life 😕

@Skyla01 sorry AF got you, at least it’s a fresh new cycle to focus on!

Yep new cycle = new opportunity I guess!

@Louise190 yes, 37 days!! But not short enough to stay on the August bus.

@Cat028 aaahh that sucks! Are you planning to do anything different this new cycle ?

My TWW starts today. DH & I are going to carry on DTD for the rest of the week in case ovulation is late.

The past 2 weeks have gone very fast for me, hopefully the next 2 weeks go just as fast. God give me strength!

Just an update! Got a BFN today at 16dpo on FRER so waiting for AF now. I'm doing the clearblue trial so hoping it hurries up otherwise I'll be pushed into the September bus :(

Right so I’ve had some spotting today not a lot, I never usually spot before AF she usually just starts with a bang! I have no cramps whatsoever? Would it be too late for implantation bleeding or am I clutching at straws

@whatsthecraic91 how many DPO are you?

@Monday55 I’ve no idea but I’m 2 days late

@Monday55 I took a break from OPKs for a few months because I was driving myself a bit potty so may start those up again. I'm not really sure what else I can do. I hope the TWW flies for you lovely. It's always the longest part of the month for me.
We usually carry on DTD after ovulation just in case too. It definitely can't hurt!

9/10 dpo... To test or not to test???

@Hannah1925 I tested today at 7dpo wtf!? 😂🙈Don't do it!!!

@Hannah1925 don’t torture yourself!

@Hannah1925 it's still early. Try and wait as long as you can. Easier said than done I know.

@whatsthecraic91 I'm not sure, the amount I've read I feel like anything can happen! If you're not pregnant then the world is playing a cruel trick on all of us! When will you test again?
