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 🙈)

DH and I are at home at the moment as we were waiting for the plumber to come round, so we dtd very quickly before he got here! 😂

[Sophieb15]

@Tamalama haha a quickie

I'm only on CD 5 fingers crossed for a positive month!!! Going to Start DTD at the weekend just in case I O early.

[Sophieb15]

@Matilda1707 You should be covered if you DTD on both peak days. Some people don't get as much EWCM as others. x

@mrssunshinexxx OH hates the whole planning the BD he hates being told we have to do it tonight. The not seeing each other 4 days a week is a disaster when TTC. Hopefully you will get your peak smiley on a Fri and be able to DTD for the 3 nights you OH is home.

@Lucylou22039 Welcome is this your first Cycle TTC?

[Lucylou22039]

@Sophieb15 yes first cycle trying. Came off my pill in July. I was on microgygen and I dunno if I'm just being silly but I must say I feel loads better within myself not being on the pill. Did anyone else feel like this? I also am now wonder how else it might have effected me

[Sophieb15]

@Lucylou22039 The pill never agreed with me I was really moody and emotional on it. I found the implant brilliant I had it for just under 3 years Got it out in Jan. I'm on cycle 7 TTC no 2.

I hope it will happen for you fast but it might take a few months for your body to get back to normal after the pill. xx

[Lucylou22039]

@Sophieb15 oooo exciting I have everything crossed for you for August xx

Anyone else feel like their body just loves playing tricks 😂 yesterday I was sure I was out and that AF was on its way, today I felt queasy all morning and so am wondering whether there's still a possibility 😬🤞 I've bought some tests but they won't arrive til tomorrow (Amazon cheapies) so I've just got to sit on my hands and resist spending out on CB tests until Saturday morning! AF not due til the weekend, but my cycles have varied since I had my last baby so it could be today, it could be next week 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi, I'm new on here so I thought I would introduce myself.
I'm on my 1st month TTC (trying to conceive) baby number 3. I have 2 boys already, my oldest took over a year to conceive my second we conceived in the first month.
I'm on CD13 now.

[Tamalama]

I bit the bullet and bought a clearblue digital ovulation kit on the way to work. I did the test just before midday and got the Low symbol. I had loads of ewcm this morning so I'm sad that it's showing as Low 😕

[Sophieb15]

@Tamalama Is it the CB 4 day?

[Addey]

You can have ewcm about 3/4 days in the run up to ovulation.

[ThatSamIAm]

@Tamalama I think you get EWCM before you ovulate, so the CB is probably correct as your hormone surge has started but ov hasn't happened yet?

My cheapie tests have been delivered at home... Ovia says 1 day until pregnancy test... so is that tomorrow or Saturday 😂🙈

[Tamalama]

@Sophieb15 Yep! That's why I thought something would have been detected by now 😕

[Tamalama]

Yeah that's true @Addey @ThatSamIAm

Good luck when you start testing @ThatSamIAm 😊

[Tamalama]

Does anyone use a basal body thermometer? If so, which is the best one that's not too expensive?

[Matilda1707]

@Sophieb15 thank you! I read up on the SMEP last night...if it’s not this month then following it to the letter next month x

[flissity]

Can I say 'Hi' and join you guys?
I am TTc3. I have 2 DD's (10 and 7) and this will be DH's 1st child. Hopefully

I am 36, had the coil taken out beginning of July and I think I am on CD1 possibly (only had spotting so far...) . But first cycle so everything is probably getting back to normal..
Conceived the girls fairly quick - 1 or 2 months I think. :)

[DramaLama2019]

Thought I'd be on the August bus due to a bleed at 11dpo which I assumed was an early period. Just as heavy and just as much cramping.

Did an ovulation test cd 5... blazing positive- ok that's weird- maybe it's left over LH from period ? CD8 did another and again blazing positive.... remembered that it can be a sign of pregnancy so took the last pregnancy test in the house- BFP!!

I was testing twice a day from 8dpo and stopped when I bled- so no squinter at all today- clear as day!!

Honestly was starting to get fed up!

[Tamalama]

Feeling really fed up this morning. I've been testing with cheapie opks since Monday, every day has been negative. Had a ton of ewcm yesterday morning and I took a Clearblue Digital 4 day test yesterday mid morning and negative. I took one this morning with fmu and negative, and all ewcm has all but dried up 😕 I'm starting to worry that maybe I'm just not ovulating anymore, even though I get the twinges every month. I had bad twinges on Monday.

I'm 38 (39 in December) and I had a mc in January. I had an internal scan at that point and was told my ovaries look healthy and I shouldn't have a problem conceiving. Im now on Cycle 5, and every month it's a bfn when taking pregnancy tests, and now I just feel flat that even though I get ovary twinges each month and ewcm perhaps I'm just not ovulating 😕

[flissity]

@Tamalama how frustrating for you I really don't have any advise. Have you got other children? I am 36 so I know how you feel about being a bit older and the worry etc xx

[catsandkid]

Joining please! We will be TTC cycle 1 for baby #2 towards the end of Aug. AF due ~10th Aug and then after that we're on it! Kinda decided we'd like to TTC and realised we'd missed this months window by a few days!

[mrssunshinexxx]

@Tamalama sorry to hear you are struggling @Sophieb15 mentioned a test that the doctors do to check some levels I can't remember exactly what she will be along soon hopefully to clarify x
