End of August bus 2

[sao81]

Continuing from original thread!

@wannabemum38 would this be your first baby?

@Cat028 just seen your update 🤦🏻‍♀️

For what it's worth, I had slight cramping on left hand side days 2/3/4Dpo and now 7DPo nothing really x

@flissity Haha! It happens. I had a feeling I was reading too much into it. Haven't felt this feeling for a whole day while TTC. Probably just my crazy brain 😩

Truly messes with your head doesn't it.

We've had a really busy day today at the beach. Dug some massive holes and made loads of sandcastles!!! So my mind has been elsewhere which is nice actually.
Back to work tomorrow = back to googling weird shit !!

Thank you @NamiSwan 😊

@mrssunshinexxx yep, life isn't fair sometimes! I will speak to DH about everything I said on here this morning but maybe not today. Af is in full force and I'm currently in bed with a hot water bottle on my tummy and my lower back feels like it's on fire 😭

@Sophieb15 yeah I definitely wanted to stay on the bus to see how everyone else gets on, it'll be nice to see some bfps! After af I'll be on to Cycle 6....

@flissity Yes had a MC many years ago though

@Tamalama so sorry you are feeling awful and going thru all that.

All this just seriously makes me wonder how the heck people accidentally get pregnant??? And we all are trying our best.

@wannabemum38 I really hope that this all works out for you

@flissity totally messes with your head and each passing month I read more into it. It's so difficult to try and keep occupied. That sounds like a lovely day out. Ah Dr Google!! I'm sure I'll be on there at some point tomorrow.

@Tamalama look after yourself.

I will be googling "8dpo, no symptoms but still bfp"

"8dpo pregnancy symptoms"

"8dpo possible to get bfp"

Etc etc .... how sad am i 🤣😬😬

@Fredthespider exactly the same as you - 9dPO and bright red spotting tonight. Some cramps too. No doubt it's AF early 😡 but 🤞 not!

Hi everyone! Just jumping aboard on here :)

@Tamalama I'll be cycle 8 when AF shows next weekend 🙈 not feeling very positive at the moment due to the pains but still finding them very early!! the yoga stretches help tho google PMs yoga stretches it should help you too 😘

@flissity I'll join you in that camp. But change your 8dpo for 4 or 5dpo 🤣🤣🤣

@flissity I've been googling all day about my aches as I'm only 6DPO I think if they disappear tomor it may be a good sign I'll be googling that then 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think we look into things if we HAVE symptoms just as much as if we DONT have symptoms.

Like: ooh nooo I have cramps, af is clearly coming.
And then:
Oooh nooo I don't even have cramps which is an early pregnancy sign, I can't possibly be pregnant

🤣🤣😂

Totally! Either way you can't win. Hopefully it will all be worth it and we will all get our BFPs!

6dpo - boobs aren’t sore this morning which is odd.

This cycle is bizarre - well hopefully work will take my mind off everything. Back at work after a week off so I’ll have a ton of emails to get back to!

Happy Monday ladies presuming a lot of you will find out this week I will on Saturday- scared !

@mrssunshinexxx morning! just a day after you on sunday if i can wait that long - POAS is already calling to me but its too soon and i promised yself not to waste money as im only 8DPO.

@Tamalama so sorry about AF, hope the cramps got better xx

@Moonstone12my OH told me to just forget about it! like how can you forget ur ttc and in the tww. MEN!!!

@AmIseeingRight af due Friday for me sooo scared it if comes of how emotional I will be it always hits me really hard the day my period comes. Don't test early if you are tempted put it on here and we will put you off xx

I am actually going to test early... I have my reasons!
Being 36, I want to know I if I am actually ovulating etc...
so I looking at it like, if I get a bfp then great, if it ends in a chemical then I will be gutted but at least I know I ovulated and conceived. (I just won't fully accept I am pregnant until after af would have been)
Me and DH had the discussion of the dilemma the other day and decided testing early is better for us.

Does that make sense? I am a knowledge is power kinda girl. And also just looking at it from a medical/scientific point of view.

Spotting has got a little heavier so I think I'm out. At least it's a short two week wait as I'm only 11 DPO (silver lining!) I had a short luteal phase last month too but I assumed that was just things getting back to normal as that was the first period after baby was born. I may not actually be ovulating yet, we'll see what September brings :)

So emotional 7DPO today literally tearing up every 2 seconds because I feel like I'm out already and I really felt positive about this month we couldn't have done any better 3 days leading up to O and O day.

4 DPO felt nauseous and a little ache in my back
5 DPO really bad ache in my legs and back and a really dull cramping
6 DPO Backache and hips aching boobs starting to get a bit sore at sides
7 DPO no cramps yet but really emotional and boobs sorer today burning sensation

I have looked back on my app and the last 3 months my LP has been 13 days so realistically I'm due Sunday and I'm sure AF will come with Vengeance. I was so positive too this month saying if it didn't happen at least I could drink on holidays but I don't want to drink on holidays i want a BFP

@flissity Do what's best for you. I know I try my hardest to get to after AF but never make it. 🙈 I'm so impatient! Some people get their BFPs before AF is due. When are you thinking of testing?

@Fredthespider. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Sept will be your month.

@Sophieb15 try and look after yourself today. You aren't out yet and have given yourself a really good chance this month. Fingers crossed your symptoms are a positive sign.

@Cat028 I know my reasoning may sound odd to some people. But it makes sense to us.

Will test Wednesday with a frer then have cheap ones to use after that. I'll be 10dpo on wed
