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!

Yes I’m going to try them for cycle 3 if no luck this month! I’ve bought the clear blue digital - so expensive - but as I’m not 100% sure I’m ovulating after coming off the pill I thought I’d better splash out!

@Cat028 I think the more cycles we go through the more he realises that it isn't always straight forward, his DS wasn't planned and so he didn't have to go through the whole TTC it was just sprung on him

This is the first month he's approached me to talk about it without me starting the conversation first and that in itself makes me feel more at ease, reminds me I'm not alone x along with all you supportive ladies I have 🥰

12 dpo and bfn 😭

Think I'm going to get ready for nect cycle.

It's nearly been a year in October since ttc and I've done opk since last October so we've been dtd on the right days.

This is such a drag

@flossy12 I know!! They last forever hahah

I’m 4 DPO right now, no symptoms yet!! I hate the 2ww

@Peytonmarie aww got my fingers crossed for you 😘🥰

@flossy12 thank you ❤️

I'll jump in too! I'm 33 and TTC (trying to conceive) #1. On cycle 3 and surprised how focused I've become on TTC (trying to conceive)! I think I thought it would happen immediately, although my rational brain knows it can take a while and three months is not long. AF due on Tuesday.

Tested this morning and maybe a hint of a line, but was extremely faint and only visible in some lights. Feel like I could convince myself of anything 😅

I'm a real planner so the idea that there is so much chance involved causes me stress! I feel like now we've made the (big) decision to have a baby, I'd like it to happen straight away.

I'm tracking with the Glo app and tried Clear blue OPKs for the first time this month, which I found really interesting. I think I'm a person who likes more information rather than less.

So can I just check... does ewcm mean you've ovulated or its in its way?

@november90 it means you're about to ovulate so it's the best time to DTD!

Cd16 here and opks still very light/non existent. I don't think I ovulated till day 19 or 20 last cycle so probably got a way to go. Don't seem to have any ewcm or anything close to it so this may be one of my long cycles.... Sigh.

@Flossy12 so encouraging that he wants to talk about it. My DH got quite upset last week because of how long it's taking. I'm relieved to know he cares just as much as I do about TTC.

@Cat028 that's exactly how I feel! At Ford the was all chill about it and didn't really seem that enthusiastic but I think he thought it would happen quite quick, not it's taking longer I think things are hitting him more x

@GinFizz90 Wow, Congrats!

@Flossy12 totally with you there. Not as easy as it seems! What cycle are you on at the moment?

Nope! His DS was the itch EX wasn't planned so it was just like 'your having a baby now' sort of deal 😅 so now I'm feeling guilty that we're on cycle 4 now x

@Flossy12 that must be a shock for him that it's taking time after it happening so quickly. Fingers crossed it will happen for you both soon.

@Cat028 yeah it was a big shock to him, he had no idea of how a cycle worked or anything 😅😅 sure I could pop quiz him now!! Thank you very much

@flossy12 this isn’t my DPs first child either and his mind is blown it hasn’t happened already, his ExW got pregnant the first month 🙄 which makes me feel like shite.

So I felt like I was out this month, having no obvious symptoms, but I woke up this morning with a really high temp... was away camping so thought that change could have influenced my BBT and was going to put off testing until after AF was due.
Got back home this afternoon and remembered I had a test left - I caved very quickly!
DH and I are still being very cautious, as it's such early days but I'm just so happy!

@Nell90x wow congratulations!! How many DPO? Did you have any other symptoms?

@whatsthecraic91 I'm 11dpo with af due on Monday. Haven't really noticed any other symptoms so still in shock. Keeping everything crossed for a sticky one.

Congratulations @Nell90x! That looks like a really strong positive!

@Nell90x Wow that is clear as day, congratulations!!

Thank you guys 😊 just keeping everything crossed now!

Congrats to @Ginfizz90 and @Nell90x for your BFPs x

Congratulations to the ladies with BFPS that's wonderful! I hope you have lovely healthy happy pregnancies
I wasn't really feeling my chances until yesterday I got a bit temp spike and it has stayed today. I'm 7dpo and keeping everything crossed it stays high!
