End of August bus 2

[sao81]

Continuing from original thread!

Thanks for all yer positivity guys. I honestly think these cramps are too painful to be anything else they are double you over in pain cramps. I will be fine and be back to my cheerleading ways again ❤️

@Sophieb15 when I had my little boy I remember my early pregnancy symptoms were the exact same as AF, but it was almost as if it was going to be a particularly bad month! You're not out yet ❤️ And if you are and we have to go onto September we're all still here for you and it WILL happen!

I have cried 4 days in a row now... 😭 does anyone else get like this? Is it the stress?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

So girls this is how my ov test has progressed today! The second test was with a much longer held wee then the first but still! When do you think I should next test?

@november90 I would test again this evening (say 9pm) and keep testing 2-3 times a day till you get your surge. Last month I didn't get a +ve but was only testing once a day and at 11am. However I did get ecwm and ov pain so knew roughly when I ov. This month I tested twice a day and then three times on the day I got my +ve. the later the better I think, I didn't get my +ve opk till late afternoon.

@november90 before I had my dd I used just get a pinch when I ovulated and adore boobs before AF and cramps for only the day AF came! Since I got the implant out I've been having a lot of pressure during O for a few days and lots of backache and cramping for maybe 3 days before AF it's weird. This month the backache and cramping started at 5DPO eased 7DPO and yesterday and back again now today.
That line def looks stronger so hopefully O will be tomorrow 🤞🏼

@mumofbun it's so frustrating isn't it! I just wanna know what's happening!

Would be so much easier if we beeped or something when we had conceived 😂

So AF is finally here, feel abit relieved now as was starting to worry with the BFNs. Flo has moved my OD which means we didnt actually DTD on O or after, only before. Will have to invest in a clear blue for next month and maybe try smep too🤞

@sao81 sorry AF got you. Hopefully next cycle is your month.

Had a little temp rise this morning, but don’t want to look into it much. 9dpo last cycle temps were dipping but my temps this cycle have been consistently lower throughout anyway.

Hopefully tomorrow’s temperature will be a little more helpful- if I see a dip tomorrow I imagine AF will be thinking about making an appearance.

Oh @sao81 I'm sorry :( but I'm glad you have that semi feeling of relief too! Did you do opk this month? I'm glad you can put it behind you now and move onwards and upwards :)

Sorry to hear @sao81 take care of yourself it sounds like you are having a rough time all round x

I have made an end of September bus if anyone wants to jump on when they feel like it xx

Sorry to hear @sao81 annoying that you potentially ovulated at a different time to what you thought as well!

@november90 glad to see your opks are finally progressing! I agree test at least twice if not three times until you get you positive or they start to get lighter again

@Emmaaa1990 that would be so funny if we beeped 😂😂

@Sophieb15 poor you that sounds like a lot of painful times! I think I’m on my way to AF too now - my boobs are so painful, yesterday it hurt to move! And today there was a bit of spotting or something when I went to the toilet this morning :( other symptoms starting too like coffee making me feel unwell. Just waiting for it to come now - not due until Sunday though!

@sao81 sorry to hear that. But I know what you mean. After AF comes you can progress it and onto the next month. Good luck!!

@mumofbun Don't count yourself out yet you still have a few days before AF is due.

Oh I forgot to say I’ve been bad and stopped temping as soon as my fertile period ended - I forgot that it might help with checking if af was coming and just got lazy :(

@Emmaaa1990 😂 one day this will happen! A frustrated female genius will come up with something! Lee your eyes peeled on dragons den.

So how reliable are the cheapy tests from amazon?
I bulk bought ovulation strips and pregnancy tests to start next month as I’m pretty sure I have an addiction to peeing on sticks just for the sake of it and the CB ones prove to be an expensive addiction!
My AF is due next Thursday! Thoughts please? X

@Sophieb15 keep your head up lovely, I keep thinking wherever I get pregnant it will give me the baby I was supposed to have. I look at DS sometimes and think, if we'd caught earlier he wouldn't be him and it makes me feel like everything has it's time!

@Something20 congratulations!!!

@sao81 sorry AF got you, new cycle means new chance

@november90 looks like you're getting there!

About 11dpo here, tested yesterday BFN, I'm sure I'm out - it's okay though, OH and I want to try SMEP next month! I'm really enjoying how into TTC and testing he is this time round, makes it fun

@Cat028 thanks I’m trying just feeling very negative today

@Lf803 I’m not sure what you’re asking but think there’s always a base amount of LH so some people will have a line on their opk whenever they test in their cycle. It’s not like hcg which is only produced when pregnant

Thanks @mumofbun I guess I wasn’t expecting to see any line on the ovulation test as I’m used to CBD and it’s either yes or no. Should I keep a log of all the strips so I know the difference? X

@mumofbun We all get those days. Try to keep yourself busy. Easy said that done, totally been there!! I have a full day today so hoping that it will keep my mind off everything for the time being!

@Lf803 I guess that’s up to you but I don’t think there’s much point using up strips as you already have ovulated this cycle? I would take that one as a base for next cycle if you need it and just wait until after AF if she comes before testing again

Thanks @Cat028 luckily today is my busiest day both in and out of work so I should manage to!

Turns out I've had a CP... got a positive yesterday then started bleeding last night but was only light so thought it might be implantation but I've had clots this morning and a negative pregnancy test 😔 more devastated than I thought I would be and more gutted I got that test then my period than if I'd just got my period, guess that's what I get for testing too early! I'm pleased we know we can "get pregnant" I just hope my uterus leans to keep hold of them!

@Something20 oh I'm so sorry to read this - glad you're seeing the positive about getting pregnant, hope you're okay xx

@Something20 I'm so sorry lovely. It is an awful feeling! It's great that you are seeing the silver lining that you can get pregnant. Give yourself some time and look after yourself.

@jaysnr thank you, I'm a bit weepy but I guess that's a lot to do with AF now! I go on holiday on Tuesday so I'm trying to see the positives with that, I can have a good time and will actually be ovulating on holiday so maybe a holiday baby will be made!

Thank you so much @Cat028 means a lot to have support on here x
