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 🙈)

Thankyou, it's so confusing as I've been testing for days and test always seems faint, yesterday was the strongest line and I took it around 5pm. I wonder if maybe fmu doesn't work so good for me, or maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

flissity · 17/08/2019 07:24

@Cat028 my girls are 7 and 10

@Olivebranch26 I don't know what to say or suggest? Perhaps it's just sill such early days?

Confusing times 😐

Cat028 · 17/08/2019 08:15

@flissity that a nice age gap. Very exciting!!

@Olivebranch26 I know it's still faint but it is still there. Keeping everything crossed for you. Did you say you were hoping to get bloods done today?

@NamiSwan Totally stressing here too about how long it's taking. Much easier said than done when people tell you to relax about it.

CD 17 of my cycle and still no positive OPK could I have missed it?
I am usually a very regular 27/28 day cycle. Could I still O after this to get the same length cycle?

Hi ladies. AF due today, normally I wake up and it’s there but no sign of it, no cramps either. Boobs still very sore but I had a bfn with cheap test using FMU. Don’t really know what’s going on. Going to buy first response today and test tomorrow if it does not arrive.

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 08:34

@Cat028 I will test again later in the day and see what it is. My hubby wants me to wait before going to doctors till I've missed my period as he thinks I'm paranoid ( which I am ) if I hadn't had ectopic before I don't think I would be this anxious.

Have you been DTD? I wouldn't count yourself out for o, I ovulated cd19 this month so it could be a little later than you think this time. Have you been using opk morning and evening?

mrssunshinexxx · 17/08/2019 08:55

@Olivebranch26 I would be happy with that line before and was due you don't see many really really strong ones before af is due. When is your period due ? Xx

Cat028 · 17/08/2019 08:57

@Olivebranch26 I can totally understand why you are feeling anxious. If I'd been through an eptopic I'm sure I'd be the same. I feel so anxious testing/waiting after my chemical.

Yes, we have been DTD daily just to be sure. Only been testing in the morning so maybe I need to do them in the evening too. I had cramps on CD 15 at night I put it down to spicy food but maybe I O'd and just didn't test until the morning. I'm going to keep testing just in case it's late.

Sophieb15 · 17/08/2019 09:11

@Olivebranch26 what test is that did you try a FRER yet is AF due tomor?

@mrssunshinexxx @Tamalama how are you feeling today?

mrssunshinexxx · 17/08/2019 09:14

Hi @Sophieb15 I'm 8dpo still v thirsty and boobs achy trying not to get too hung up on it because of reasons previously mentioned but it would be the best thing ever if it did happen. Can't help but think this time next week af likely to be here and I'll be emotional as hell 😫 how are you? When is af due ? X

Sophieb15 · 17/08/2019 09:19

@mrssunshinexxx I'm only 5DPO but have a very busy weekend so I'll be half way there before I know it. Back still a bit achy but nothing really else boobs starting to get a bit tender on sides so I'm prob out but I will still be hopeful. Not due AF until Mon week seems so far away!
I've my fingers crossed for everyone on here hopefully we start seeing more BFPs soon.

I will have to start another thread I'd say tomorrow we are up at 910 🙈

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 09:20

@mrssunshinexxx af due tomorrow I've felt like it's coming every day since 8dpo so I can't tell if I have symptoms. I can't believe I have a line and I'm too anxious to accept it!

@cat028 at first I really thought it was a chemical as I got a positive 8dpo and then it went away and only very slowly came back. What was your experience with a chem if you don't mind me asking? Tbh when I first though I was going to have a chemical I thought well at least it didn't implant in the wrong place this time and now im so paranoid thats all i can think lol. Hopefully this is a good sign and pregnancy hormones are making me crazy 😂

Me and dh DTD like crazy this month and i think it worked for us. Also I used to have long cycles and still ovulated so I'm sure you most likely will if you haven't already. Opk arnt always accurate.

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 09:24

@Sophieb15 yes af due tomorrow you?Tests I'm using are 25miu, I had frer in the beginning and got a positive at 8dpo but not 9dpo so I'm too paranoid to use them. Trying to stick to the same tests so I can compare. Should really only be testing every 2 days not twice a day! But can't help myself 🙈

Sophieb15 · 17/08/2019 09:30

@Olivebranch26 my sister had a chemical recently got a faint plus with a CB test on CD 32 and 4 days later small bit of blood when she wiped and test was negative! Day after she got AF I think if you were having a chemical the tests would be getting fainter and fainter by the day and they don't seem to be so I have everything crossed for you! Do you still have all the tests you took. Can you Post them from CD8-today and we can see the lines?

Tamalama · 17/08/2019 09:40

@Sophieb15 Af was due yesterday, but I have af cramps today so I reckon it's on its way 😕 not bothered testing this morning. If she doesn't arrive today I may take one tomorrow morning. I'm 13dpo today. How are things with you? X

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 09:42

@Sophieb15 Aw im sorry for your sister it's awful. I wish I kept them but I was obsessing over them so in the bin they went. I don't think I'm out the woods yet until af doesn't show or I get a dark bfp but I am starting to think that my hcg could just rising slowly. Hope everything's okay as with my DD they got strong quick.

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 09:45

@tamalama I hope af doesn't show for you 🤞

Cat028 · 17/08/2019 10:03

@Olivebranch26 it was horrid. It was my first ever positive (even if it was really faint.) So I totally got my hopes up and just assumed it would keep getting stronger but every other test was negative. I ended up being a week late which was unheard of for me and then AF showed up.

It hit me really hard and I cried for days. Took me a month to want to try again.

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 10:32

@Cat028 oh no I'm so glad that you managed to get through that and started trying again. How long ttc this time?

Sophieb15 · 17/08/2019 11:40

@Tamalama if you don't get them by 15DPO then definitely take a test because and LP is normally 14days 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I'm good today I'm off it's only when I'm in work my brain goes ninety miles an hour 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Sophieb15 · 17/08/2019 11:41

@Olivebranch26 try wait until Monday if you can at least you will be one day late then and it should be darker 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

OP posts:
Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 11:49

@Sophieb15 ah if only I could wait 😂 I'm terrible, at least I refuse to buy expensive ones at this point or I'd be broke. I know your right x

flissity · 17/08/2019 11:49

I genuinely feel out this month. I have woken up feeling 100% premenstrual. Agitated, anti-social and a bit irritable. Not as bad as it does get, but I recognise it all the same :(.

Af due next Saturday. I know I can't say that I am out yet!!!! But just feel so like I have PMT on the way it's such a familiar feeling. And I have no reason to feel like this as I had a lay in, and am doing nice things today!!!

Olivebranch26 · 17/08/2019 11:54

@flissity hun don't count yourself out, I've been just as grumpy this month as I always am around this time, no different than my usual pms. You just never know for sure Smile

flissity · 17/08/2019 11:58

Maybe @Olivebranch26
It's just been a bit of a blow to wake up feeling this tbh !

sao81 · 17/08/2019 13:26

@tamalama Idk how you haven't tested today I'd of jumped up if no AF 😂
@flissity try and keep positive! Pms can be similar to early preg so dont count yourself out

Yesterday I had some light spotting, coming out in spots, but feel alot calmer. No spotting today, even checked my cervix to see if anything came from that, nothing, it felt firm? Not sure if thats normal as never checked, but another BFN so just waiting now for AF on Monday
