September bus

[Sleepyhead11]

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

@29Rainforestandshine do you think? I'll do one again in the morning. I really hope so 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 been a very ling year. Please please please 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Bt the way @29Rainforestandshine it needs to be a cross (the left one) to be pregannt so its quite faint xxx

Just have a feeling that I’m out this month. Starting to be a bit insulin resistant with my Diabetes so maybe my period will arrive in like 3 days. That’s the usual. I’ll be pretty bummed. I thought I had v sore boobs n mild cramping. Who knows. But I just feel like i’m Out this month.... I’m 11dpo and it’s afternoon. Prob do tomorrow FMU...
I have to work with a pregnant colleague tomorrow who ONLY talks about her symptoms at all times..... might not be a good test day then......

@november90 trying to be more relaxed this month as I was getting obsessive over symptoms/testing. About 5dpo now so we shall see!

@Hannah1925 I can see too!!

I've just done an early clear blue test again and bfn?!?? What's going on. Literally didn't sleep because I was so excited. There is still a line on the sainsburys one?? So am I or not

@Hannah1925 I don’t trust those blue dye tests as they can give false positives due to dye running and evap lines. Your HCG levels might not be high enough for clear blue yet. I would try a FRER with FMU in a couple of days

@Hannah1925. Oh I see, I didn’t realise. Well nevertheless I think I can see a very faint cross line. As difficult as it will be, you will need to wait a few more days and test again. Did you use Early Detention tests? It may not show clearly on a standard test as you are testing early.

I tested again today and my lines are still faint. I’m going to wait to use a Clearblue on Saturday when I’ll be 13DPO.

@46Rainforestandshine I used a standard sainsburys and early clear blue test. Feel really sad about it. I'm hoping so bad as next month will be a year and we'll have to go to the doctors 😭

@44Sunshine8888 I wish they didn't. I feel really disheartened.

This is such a drag and gets to me so much. Thanks for all messages xx

So after a super early peak at cd7 I had a second bigger peak at cd 17. Glad I carried on taking opks! Now 6dpo. Going to take cheapies from 10dpo 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I know it’s really hard but I really would wait until after AF is due! There’s nothing worse than getting a faint line that you need a magnifying glass to see. Also because ladies test so early these days there’s more chance of having a chemical pregnancy that you wouldn’t even have known about it if you hadn’t tested early. While it’s so tempting to test early, I think it saves a lot of heartache to wait and test later, it’s worth it to see those strong lines. XX

Sorry there's some confusing results in here! Pink dyes are usually considered more reliable. Being in limbo is stressful though.

I'm out for Sept now. AF this morning. Short cycle - 26 days. First one I've tracked since first child and looks like the same issues as before. Could be in for the long haul ...

@Hannah1925 I had the exact same on Thursday. Tested Saturday with a digital and BPN. I swear never to go near blue due Sainsburys test again, so disheartening.

Keep going, we'll get there! ❤️

@Sunshine8888 any advice on when I should test? Came off the pill in June and since then had 2 full cycles - 1st was 30 days and 2nd was 25 days. I don't know when I ovulated as I'm not tracking that? Currently on CD 27

@rosina38 I would probably test the day after your longest cycle so CD31 with a FRER x

11dpo in evening..... stark BFN on FRER.
Totally broken. Sobbing to my poor husband.

@Twbmod oh no :( I know it's so annoying when you hear this but wait atleast another 48 hours and use FMU and you could well have a different result x

@14NLouise123 oh no we're they sainsbury ones as well? Really sad. Might get frer for if AF doesn't arrive.

Did you AF arrive? You're right, we'll get there xxxxxx

@sunshine8888 was that reply meant for me sunshine? if so I know what you are saying!! I have had a few months of testing early and then waiting until I'm late. In the end I've enjoyed the ones where I've tested early more even when there have been chemicals!! I'm not expecting anything from using cheapies at 10dpo just doing it to pass the time 🤣🤣🤣

@CarolineKate no just generally to anyone wanting to test early 😊

carolinekate I didn’t think we could have two peaks per month?!

@chaosonthehorizon apparently you can have a few!! Everyone is different. Apparently some people have to take a few attempts before they finally manage get enough lh to ovulate lol!! It's my first month taking opks though. So when I got that at cd7 I thought it was it lol!! And then someone told me I would have to see a specialist if I'm ovulating that early because my lining wouldn't be ready. So then I was happy to get the second peak 😂😂

@Hannah1925 Yep Sainsbury's own. No AF still hasn't arrived but I've got PCOS, so it's no really surprise that this cycle is longer. Around about 8 days longer now than the last!

CarolineKate ok thanks! Weird that once you get peak CB say to stop testing then! Just trying to do every other day this month

Anyone else thinking they may be imagining their symptoms?? 🙈🙈 the wait is torture..
