Hey, so was a little flakey on August bus because this is so hard, but I like the support and folk with bfps give me hope.

Anyway, I am on cycle is seven now, period due first or second September. But will probably poas end of Aug because I turn into a sucker for punishment the week before.

How are you all doing? Will be happy and sorry to see familiar names back.

I also will disappear for days at a time, which doesn't mean I'm ignoring folk, but finding it too intense.

Love and luck

Would love to hear about this month's lovely distractions

It is harder ttc with two already! Although of course we are so lucky to have them.

RedPanda25 · 27/08/2019 07:25

Tested this morning with an IC and bfn. Think AF due on Saturday so might order some frers. Think I'm just clutching at straws though!

flossy12 · 27/08/2019 10:11

@tiredmoma just thought I'd let you have a gander at the group, we have a lot of lovely ladies in here ☺️☺️

FilthyforFirth · 27/08/2019 10:11

I'm due on either today or tomorrow. Was going to wait but cracked and tested Sat, thought not with fmu. No sign as of yet but I am really clutching at straws here...I have been feeling crampy this morning so assume its on its way.

Coastaldreamer · 27/08/2019 10:17

@flossy12 how's it going. All the dtd done for the smep or a day left?

My opk started to get light from yday so we have dtd three days in a row today being the last for the smep. All we can do is hope!

@Blossomingflower94 will you test early or wait till the day AF is due ?

flossy12 · 27/08/2019 10:40

@Coastaldreamer we're going to do the next 2 days just to be sure 😅 so glad to have reached the TWW though x

Coastaldreamer · 27/08/2019 11:06

@flossy12 best to cover all bases 😂🤭

It hasn't helped with being so hot 🥵 sometimes dtd is the last thing on your mind, but needs must and all that 🤪

flossy12 · 27/08/2019 11:17

@Coastaldreamer ayee 😆🤪 god if this cycle doesn't work I don't know what will 😅🤞🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

SMiles14 · 27/08/2019 11:55

Hi Ladies, sorry have been very MIA recently, had a horrible few weeks with shingles and only just starting to feel better. Luckily just in time for my Fertile week!! I have been reading and trying to keep up with everyone, it has helped keep my spirits up whilst I have been bedridden :)
I am currently CD 12 and usually O later than most on CD21 ish so have started BDing every other day. This will be my second month on OPKs, not sure I O'd last month as it was following a mc and all a bit weird. Not sure when to start POAS... I have loads so might start Today after work to make sure the whole period when I might O is covered.
Anyone else ramping up to O?

Hi ladies

Transferring from August to Sept bus as Mother Nature turned up today - 😤

Aged 40
TTC 8th month
Fertility testing process beginning this month

Decided not to post much this month through fear of losing the plot - trying to find welcome distractions to cheer myself up. Will be reading on the sidelines though - good luck ladies 💕

GloriaMaximus · 27/08/2019 12:37

I'm not even supposed to be testing yet but because my OPKs are on a rollercoaster ride, I decided to. Stupidly not using fmu 🤷🏻‍♀️

Obviously it's negative. Do you think if I keep staring a second line will appear?

This journey is driving me crazy.

november90 · 27/08/2019 12:55

Urghhhh feeling a bit down today! I felt so positive up until ovulation now I just feel really fed up! I think what gets me most is how long my cycles are, if I'm out this month my next shot will be the end of September! 😩

GloriaMaximus · 27/08/2019 13:28

@november90 I'm sorry you're feeling down 😔. This is so fucking hard.

DH yesterday got really shitty asking why I'm so obsessed with it and keeping track of when we DTD etc. Which led to not doing it again yesterday and potentially (I say that because I just don't fucking know anymore) missing the last opportunity to conceive this month. We havent DTD since the middle of last week and I had a high OPK over the weekend 😭

Blossomingflower94 · 27/08/2019 13:52

@Coastaldreamer I'm planning on testing on the 1st or 2nd. AF due on the 5th but that's also DPs birthday and I'm really hoping I can surprise him!!

@november90 Sorry you're feeling crappy. Treat yourself to some nice food or a face pack? Need to remember that its ok to have down days, it'll get better!

MsMiaWallace · 27/08/2019 14:13

I feel really crampy down below but I know it's too early for symptoms. I'm only about 4/5dpo.

Queenofmyownheart · 27/08/2019 14:56

Can I join? Driving myself mad symptom spotting

TTC#3
28

Have been trying for about a year now. Used to be religiously on these buses until it all just got too much. Gave up ttc or tracking and then it just so happens we managed to dtd on my ovulation day and a few days before. AF is due Saturday. Tested this morning bfn but I have soooo many symptoms.

Mild cramps constantly since about 3/4 dpo.
Super sensitive sense of smell.
Nauseous
Boobs relatively sore but not massively.
So tired, like ridiculously tired
Vivid dreams
And sweating, literally running off my face.

Guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance I'm not losing my mind 😂

november90 · 27/08/2019 15:29

Thank you everyone! It really is SO tough isn't it!
I'm about 4/5 dpo now... no symptoms other then weird dreams and a bit very very faint cramping.... the dreams are odd as these normally happen a week before af! Anywho.... I suppose I'll just have to wait as I'm not gonna test early :)

ladyk03 · 27/08/2019 16:49

Hey, so I'm new to all this and I don't know what all the abbreviations mean, but we are coming up to month 4 and AF has arrived every month like clockwork!

Will be happy to see a positive result when it happens!
Xx

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 18:13

Very much in the weird dream club @Queenofmyownheart and @november90 - I woke up at 2am after a dream where my OH could briefly see the future for a moment and then got murdered straight after - lovely 😄 Then again aren't dreams always weird? I'm dpo as well so doubt I can have any symptoms yet, majorly bloated this cycle though!

Queenofmyownheart · 27/08/2019 18:29

@Raizelrea had a weird dream combining my primary school playground and my mum dying ..... have been NC with her for two years now 😂😂 so bizarre isn't it!

Lu1u · 27/08/2019 18:48

I got a BFP today at CD 26/12 DPO ☺️

wishing everyone all the best for this cycle and hoping to see lots of you on the May 2020 group!

September bus
Sunshine8888 · 27/08/2019 19:13

Yay congrats @Lu1u! I got mine yesterday and just confirmed with a digital! I’m so happy but also terrified!

September bus
Lu1u · 27/08/2019 19:32

Ahhhh @sunshine8888 congrats to you too that's wonderful news 😁

Sunshine8888 · 27/08/2019 19:49

Thanks @Lu1u I thought I was out as got a BFN on CD34 but then got my BFP yday on CD40! Crazy! According to my app I’m nearly 6 weeks. I still can’t quite believe it - the next 6 weeks is going to be so nerve wracking!

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 20:20

@Sunshine8888 @Lu1u So exciting ladies! It's not even September yet and the thread's already getting BFPs! Did you do anything differently this cycle?
