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!

@Nell90x omg congratulations!! So nice to see those bfps coming through, I think that's the turning point now for everyone! We should keep in touch because I have nobody to talk to about it 😂😂

I had no huge symptoms apart from my left boob was tender quite early on and I had some really intense cramps the evening of 5dpo followed by a temp dip 6dpo.

I think the months I wasn't pregnant I had more symptoms🙈

My cycles varied from 28-35 days so had I not used the clear blue digital I don't think think I would have thought I was ovulating early this month.

Thank you 😊

@SMiles14 fingers crossed for you that those temps stay high!

@Ginfizz90 I hope it's a turning point 😄 That'd be lovely; I know what you mean, it's difficult to stay quiet when you just want to tell everyone! I hope everything runs smoothly for you 😊

When I look back at my charts over the last couple of months, I've noted down way more symptoms than I had this month - crazy. If I had and cramps feelings if put it down to bloating, if I felt s bit nauseous I'd put it down to something else. I think I was trying my best to not get my hopes up!

I just stuck to temping this month, backed away from the opks.

@whatsthecraic91 yeah exactly that's how I feel, Feel like a failure that I can't give him a child yet 😥😥

@flossy12 it’s shit isn’t it! Don’t get me wrong I love DSS to pieces but it’s not the same! Just wish it would happen already!!!

Hey everyone,
I'm tentatively hopping in this bus. Ovulating anytime now. Not crazy temping ect yet but poas today and it's pretty much matching lines, so going to actively try this month for the time in about 7 months.
We have unexplained infertility, but I suffer with IBD.
Having had a flare up last Xmas which put me in hospital, and again in May which I'm only just about over now, I am thinking my IBD has a lot to answer for.
I've found out I have low ferritin and HB, so I'm off to hospital tomorrow for an iron infusion. 🙄
Think I need to take B12 too as I've heard it's commonly low for people like me.
Anyone in a similar situation feel free to share your stories/thoughts!!
I've had so many chemical pg/early miscarriage I'm not expecting to get a bfp, and even if I do, i plan on keeping it to myself until a good 8weeks.... and I'll only tell family once we have a picture to show them!

Thanks for listening to my waffle ladies, much appreciated x

@whatsthecraic91 oh I totally get you!! DSS means the world to me but your right it isn't the same, and I hate when he goes and the house is left empty 😢

@flossy12 I know DSS is 6 and he is full of craic, he will be going home soon then the house is so quiet! We are taking him to Disneyland Paris here in 2 weeks time and he has no idea so that will keep me occupied for a while in the next TWW!

@whatsthecraic91 aww bless him! That will be amazing!! Bet he will love it! X

AF has arrived today. I'll be hopping on October bus and will look out for it as oh is away next month. Congratulations everyone with their bfp xxxx

Going to stick around on this thread even though I'm not going to ovulate until late August now 🙃 want to see which of you ladies get your BFPs 😍🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry AF arrived @Hannah1925, it might be good to have a month off, the constant stress can’t be good for us!

@SMiles14 how’s the temp this morning?

I’m 11DPO today and feeling frustrated! No signs I’m pg. Ovia app is saying test tomorrow but I’m going to ignore it. I just feel like I’d have some sort of feeling if it had been my month 🤷🏽‍♀️ ☹️

Just a query, are people DTD everyday? X

How are we all? Still no AF here and BFN DH went out this evening and got me a test as he was sure i was PG but nope another BFN and he was gutted 😢 so now im just waiting to see whats going too happen

@tiredmoma are you late?
I’m 7DPO, and totally symptom searching. I feel bloated and have a light headache (a couple days now) and some cramping but who knows!
Just found out another friend is pregnant, feeling down.
AF is expected in 6 days.

@Peytonmarie yes about a week late

@Peytonmarie FX for that AF doesnt come it always a kick in the teeth when someone else is expecting but hopefully you will be sharing your news very soon

Can I join?

I'm 31
CD 4 now.

Cycle 18 but cycle 2 since stopping feeding DS3

Didn't want a massive age gap but DS is 3 now so...

How frustrating @tiredmoma are you sure of your o date? Wait 2 days and test again, will keep my fingers crossed for you.

My temps are still high but trending down / staying the same if that makes sense... only by 0.01/2 deg per day so not disastrous. I haven't been sleeping very well though so not relying on them entirely. I have had cramps all afternoon yesterday and again this morning. 10dpo now so not sure if af pains or implantation. I just don't know!!!

@Nell90x congrats lovely xx

@Hannah1925 sorry to hear AF got you. Hopefully next month will be your month.

@TakeMeToYourLiar welcome 😊

I have just gone back to using OPKs to try and pinpoint O. Still a bit unsure what counts as positive. Is this positive or should I test again later/tomorrow?

@SMiles14 I have started getting cramps too and brown spotting. Wishing AF away with everything I have but I think it’s on its way 😭

@Cat028 I believe OPK's are positive only if the test line is as dark or darker than the control line

@Cat028 I would say tomorrow, test again it should be darker than the test strip

@MissYeti @Peytonmarie thank you ladies. Not got the hang of deciding whether they are positive yet.

My app says I am in my fertile window so we have DTD the last 2 days so will test again tomorrow and DTD again tonight to be sure.

Morning ladies af is coming in full force but brand new cycle to start again

Congratulations @Nell90x I bet you are thrilled!

I am sorry to hear that at got you @Hannah1925 it’s such a rubbish thing this ttc malarkey.

I had my second doctors appointment yesterday. One of my cysts have gone down but there are still two more. Unfortunately I am not ovulating every month so I will be getting 21 day tests next month to test progesterone and then will go on clomid. I’m pretty impressed with my doctors surgery tbh as they have been great considering I am not 30 yet, but we have been ttc since August 2017 with 4 miscarriages in between. According to my temps I have just ovulated this month which I’m pleased with. Fingers crossed this month works! If not onto the next month!
