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 🙈)

@Tamalama that sounds positive could someone tell me if I got my o on cb digital on wednesday 7th aug Isit likely o will be around that next month ?
Dh is off week commencing 9th se but will be away weekend working 7th and 8th so I'm fretting already next month is fucked ! Excuse the language x

@Something20 I'm 6dpo today, ovulated either last Saturday or Sunday. Got my static smiley last Saturday morning and had ov pains that night.

I'm hoping the pains I have now are implantation pains and not pms 😕

@mrssunshinexxx I think it can fluctuate slightly each month. The only way to really know is to use the opks, I would imagine. Don't stress about next month already, you don't know what this month has in store yet! 😊 you may well get your bfp!

@Tamalama how long are you aiming to wait before testing or are you just going to see if AF comes or not?! Sooo many people say their pregnancy symptoms were exactly the same as their pms symptoms so try to stay positive! ☺️

I did another OPK about an hour ago and it was loads darker than the one this morning so reckon ovulation is definitely today or tomorrow for me!

So ladies I need some advice! I've been experiencing ewcm for the past 2 days... although it's a bit earlier then expected! My app, which is normally pretty precise predicted ovulation for a week on Monday.... so anyway I caved and got a clear blue ovulation test and it was a blank face. Anyway I ejected the test and there's a faint line on it... does this work like the regular non digital tests? Could it mean ovulation is near but not detectable on the digital bit? I've attached a picture to show you what I mean. I've never used these digital tests before so I'm pretty clueless!

(The line is clearer in real life!)

@november90 I'm not the most experienced with this but the tests I use show a faint line all month but that is classed as a negative. It's only positive once the test line is as dark or darker than the control line. I think this is the case for most tests but can't be certain as I've never used those ones you have! Buy some cheapies off amazon and just test test test! ☺️

Thank you for the reply @Something20 :)I've had the cheap ones before, but I just found the testing really stressful so I didn't want to do it this month! But because I had the ewcm early I just wanted to see what was going on this faint line was within seconds of the blank face appearing! It's all so confusing to me 😬

Ohhh ok @november90 sorry about that! 🙈 I totally get that, it is stressful! Maybe try and find some reviews online or YouTube videos about the specific tests you've got? ☺️

Yeah I think I will do, thank you @Something20 ! I've had a little google and some people have said there's a faint line just before ovulation and others have said, like you, there's always a faint line! I didn't see the faint line before on my one test opk... but that's a different brand so probably irrelevant!
Please don't apologise at all, it's just me I find it too addictive and stressful! Last month I started testing like 3 times a day at one point and then I thought nope! This is not for me! Yet here I am 😂

@november90 see that makes it so much more confusing though cause I get a faint line every day on the one step so I think it also depends on the person so maybe a faint line for you is on your way to positive!
It's so stressful isn't it! I've been testing every day since CD 7ish and then twice a day since CD10 and I was getting so disheartened cause nothing had happened until I got cramping yesterday then positive tests and ewcm today so I'm relieved haha!

@Something20 oh that's amazing! I bet you're so relieved! Have you been using the one step opk? The best ones I've ever used were the Asda home branded ones. Me and my husband went on a big 20 mile journey today, Asda hopping, to try and find them but they were out of stock everywhere! So I've ended up with these ones. My little boy is 2 and only naps on the car so we had the time to spare 😂
I was wondering if it was the same principle, I know it's not positive until it's darker then the other line.... but is it starting? Who knows 🙈

@november90 yeah I am! I know it's not even that far into my cycle but I was over worrying that it wasn't going to happen!
I've been using those and then some other amazon cheap ones! Both seem to test the same tbh. Oh wow really?! Never would have thought to try them tbh! That's a bugger though that you can't find them anywhere 😕 are the asda ones digital or not? Haha oh well, good idea to keep going and extend the nap for him! 😂
I hope it is! Fingers crossed for you!

@november90 hey I used the same cb test & it says to ignore the blue when you eject, I had an empty round yesterday but smiley face today. Try again tomorrow with fmu or later as long wait 4 hrs otherwise it won't be enough to pick up. I also did a cheap one and it's also come as positive. So my LH surge is now and due to OV tomorrow

@november90 I had lines with both tests the the test with blank face and the one with smiley face, but smiley face was a bit darker but I ignored it. Will test tomorrow fmu and that when I see OH. Hoping to still have a smiley face and get on with DTD tomorrow and Monday for extra measure and keep fingers crossed. Hope that helps

@AmIseeingRight did you go straight from blank circle to static ? X

@mrssunshinexxx yes, i had blank and then smiley. mine are the 2 day ones. I think the flashing smile are the 4 days one, u get a couple of days flashing the 2 days static (the 48 hr window) mine just tell you the 48 hr so no pre-warning lol. Thats why they are cheaper lol

@AmIseeingRight ah yeah mine are the 4 day I only got one day flashing tho x

Just been getting really sharp pains and possibly thinking too much into it but it made me feel like I wanted to be sick it was so sharp, havent had that since my other little girl so hoping its a good sign

Fingers crossed @sao81 🤞

@Something20 I'm planning to test either Wednesday or Thursday...

@AmIseeingRight thanks for all the info! I don't know whether mine are the 2 or 4 day ones.... does it say on the box?

@sao81 that sounds really exciting! I bet you're so eager to test! 😬😀

Can I just ask you guys generally.... how many days before a smile face do you normally experience ewcm? I know we're all different.... but I'm just trying to prepare myself! X

Hello

Positive vibes for everyone this month!!

TTC no. 1
Cycle 1
CD 2
AF 5th September
Age 25

This is our first month TTC so im equally excited/terrified to 'get started'. Currently on day 2/3 of AF so can't wait till it's over.

Any advice gratefully received.

@november90 my box says 2 most fertile days at the right hand corner. The other pack say 4 days.

@november90 I had ewcm on the Thursday and got a low reading on my clearblue ovulation kit, I got a low on the Friday morning too but on the Saturday it went straight to a static smiley, so mine was only 2 days before... I'm now 6do.
