End of August bus

[Sophieb15]

Hey guys decided to make an end of August bus as there is already an August bus and by the time we get to the middle of aug we will need a new one anyway and it will keep us all around the same time in our cycles.

My stats
TTC no 2
Cycle 7
CD 1
AF/BFP due 25th August
Age 29(30 in 10 days 🙈)

@Sophieb15 when you put it like that I suppose there is a slight chance but. I got it wed morn so that would only take me to fri morn and he isn't home untilPM
I had pains all day yesterday and this morning but now they have gone x

Hi all, hope you don't mind if I join in. This is my first month ttc baby #2 it took us 2 years to get our rainbow baby, and after all that time symptom spotting I didn't have a single clue the month I got pregnant. Not sure if this helps anyone but even if you think your out could still get your bfp

I'm currently cd 22 ( cycle anywhere from 30-38 days) couldn't get a positive opk so not too hopeful this month already! I think I'm in for another long road anyone else have long cycles? Ty

@mrssunshinexxx When last did you DTD though? Because if you did O yesterday or today and DTD A few days ago you still have a chance because Sperm lives in the tubes for 5 days. When I got pregnant with my DD We BD CD 5 and 7 and I couldn't have ovulated earlier than day 12 so I'd say the Sperm was still there from CD7. And It was a girl they say girls are slower swimmers. Your not out until AF arrives but try not stress about it too much!!!xx

@Sophieb15 sorry forgot to answer that question is was Sunday xx

@mrssunshinexxx So you have a very good chance so Still get in the BD the minute he is in the door tomorrow just in case you did only O today. But even if you did O today or yesterday there should still be Sperm waiting for the Egg since Sunday xx

@Sophieb15 I love your optimism

@mrssunshinexxx I wouldn't like to get anyones hopes up but It happened to me I was not expecting to be pregnant that month I was shocked. Especially after been off the pill for 3 years(not actively trying the whole time and didn't do OPK's)

Maybe this month it may happen Especially as I really won't be expecting it x @Sophieb15

Just checking in ladies, CD 19 today and got a positive cheapie OPK and also clearblue digital. DTD on CD 17 and again this morning. Plan is to go again tomorrow so fingers crossed for this month. TWW has officially begun and I will try not to test until the 22nd (but in reality will test before cause I'm useless at waiting that long...)

@mrssunshinexxx Fingers and toes crossed. It be brilliant if it was just easier and everyone just got pregnant when they wanted it!!!

Hi ladies! I saw this and thought I should post it here. I never knew that TTC would be so consuming! But it's definitely going to be worth it all in the end 💗

@Sophieb15 it certainly would x

@november90 💕

Can I hop onto this bus? I'm also on the other August Bus thread, but not due until around Aug 24th so thought I'd jump on this bus too.

Me:
Age 34 (just - my birthday was last week!)
TTC: #3
Cycle: 3
CD: 15

This is technically cycle #3 for me, but cycle #1 was a complete bust as I had a really weird and short (19 days!) cycle. Cycle # 2 was rubbish as I got a very very faint +ve from POAS at 12DPO and then AF arrived the next day, so think I may have had a chemical.

I know people always complain about the TWW, but I actually find the first half of my cycle much more stressful - is it just me?! The TWW drags but I find at least I know I've done all I can and it's just a waiting game... whereas the first half of the cycle is really stressful for me. My periods are never that regular - they are usually 29-31 days, but every now and then randomly will have a cycle that is shorter (24 days was my previous record before the random 19 day one recently) or longer (up to 34 days). As a result, I never know when I'm going to ovulate and so find the first half of my cycle quite stressful, wondering it if I will ovulate, when it will happen, and if me and DH should be DTD! We're DTD every other day and then every day around my fertile window, which I generally guess at by using cheap OPK, and checking my cervix and fluid. This month I've been temping but finding it too much of a faff so not sure I'll bother after this cycle.

@Namiswan Welcome to the End of Aug bus. There will prob end up being an end of August bus 2 by the time we get to the end of Aug over all the chat [laughing]
Apparently you are very fertile after a chemical so fingers crossed this may be your month.

Been having my cramps for like 10 minutes now, they've just started so feeling like AF is going to be showing any minute now 😩

@flossy12 NOOOOO don't think about it DISTRACT yourself and the witch will disappear xx

@mrssunshinexxx I'm going to try! 😅 getting in the shower and a couple paracetamol, OHs Birthday today as well not the best present for me to give 😖

@NamiSwan welcome

@november90 that poem is lovely

Its nearly Friday - thank goodness- work is manic at the moment, but at least it keeps my mind off things at the moment

My opks look like they’re getting lighter! Definitely not ovulated yet but it’s kinda bizarre!

I'm starting the TWW tomorrow! Will be testing 21st August

Would you say this is a positive OPK test? It says the test line (one furthest from the green) should be a stronger line than the control test. But I think this is good enough?? Had a wee 2 hours ago and then tested just now when got home.

@Absa I would say so yes! It's so weird, I've had all negatives on the easy@home sticks but positive on the clearblue digital!

Thanks @thirteen92 .
It was negative this morning so hopefully it's just occurred... DTD 3 days ago but then have been away for work so will try to get home tonight and / or tomorrow :) Let the 2WW begin!

@Absa

I got a positive yesterday and today with clearblue ovulation. We DTD CD 15, 17 & 19. Got my positive on CD 18 & 19! Fingers crossed.

@Sophieb15 TMI but a lot of discharge all afternoon and still now is this a sign I could be ovulating today

@mrssunshinexxx well AF is here in full force now so I'm definitely out 😖😭
