End of August bus 2

[sao81]

Continuing from original thread!

Can I jump on board? The first bus I ever joined was last August, so happy anniversary to me!

AF due on 30th August, and I'm on cycle 1 of Clomid. I'm on progesterone pessaries, and Doc told me to test at 15dpo, which is the day before AF is due. Doubt I'll be able to hold out until then, so thinking of testing on Sunday at 11dpo.

Today I'm 5dpo and I have some barely noticeable dull cramps which no doubt I'm imagining!

Good luck everyone.

I succumbed I did cheap test from Poundland today at 9dpo BFN but I guess it's still early and they are not sensitive at all they say 4 days before AF which would be wednesday just want to know if I'm needing to wear big pants at Disneyland on Sunday or not 😂

I'm currently 10dPO, had some spotting yesterday which was bright red so could have been early signs of AF or implantation bleed - who knows?! I'm not home tonight but have a test at home so will probably crack and test tomorrow at 11dPO or the day after with FMU. Had some cramps yesterday and today have just a weird achy feeling. Last night I woke in the middle of the night and had lower abdominal pain - again could have been early AF signs or Imp. Guessing game is awful, at least I will know within a couple of days one way or the other!

@wannabemum38 don't lose all hope yet - probably too early. Give it a few more days :)

@ClomidCarrow welcome! Don't know what clomid is but I'll have google! Best of luck with the test this month.

@Absa Thanks! Clomid is a fertility drug to induce ovulation. I had two large follicles at my scan last week, putting my odds at 40% this month so my hopes are ridiculously high! No doubt I will come crashing down. I can't believe that in a perfectly healthy couple, the odds are only about 20% each month. It makes you wonder how anyone can fall pregnant! It seems so impossible sometimes.

Good luck when you decide to test again. You're not out yet

I think that too @ClomidCarrow !!
And how on earth people accidentally all pregnant

@flissity it's pure wizardry!! It must be!!

@flissity if it works for you lovely there's nothing wrong with it.

@ClomidCarrow welcome! 40% is a great percentage. Fingers crossed for your BFP.

@wannabemum38 it is still early. Give it a few days.

@Absa I'll join you in the guessing game. Cramped all day yesterday and feeling bloated today. Good luck when you test.

@ClomidCarrow yes you are very right - have to keep reminding myself of the 20% chance ... even though other people seem to have sex 1 time and get pregnant!!

But 40% is amazing - keeping 🤞 for you!

Oh I haven't been on here in ages and i've come to a new thread and 86 messages already!! Read through quickly and glad to see a lot of positivity going on.

@Sophieb15 your post made me so sad - i know how you feel, i had the "at least i can drink" weekend away a few weeks ago and i really was down about it.

Took a break from mumsnet last week as i had this moment in the bathroom where i realised i hadn't not thought about ttc in so long - it's either the run up, the fertile period, ttw or af :(

Anyway now i'm 7 dpo, due AF on Sunday but usually get spotting the day before so if there's nothing on Saturday i'll be feeling hopeful. Was sick just after od so didn't end up dtd the last couple of days i wanted to so not sure of our chances!

@ClomidCarrow fingers massively crossed for you! Sounds like you've had a long road!!

@flissity I think I might test on Wednesday too! Desperately trying to hold out until then..the temptation is so high

@mumofbun Your the exact same as me i'm due sunday too as I have had 13 day LP last 3 months. I just really don't think with the cramping I'm getting it's very positive. Keep trying to tell myself though that AF/BFP symptoms are similar. Have you any symptoms?

Hi! I'm completely new to this, so not sure if I should be on this thread? I'm ttc#1 and cd8 am I in the right thread?

Guys I'm feeling about confused! Ovulation due today on what feels like cycle day 6374728 but it is CD23. I felt some ewcm last week and my cervix is definitely open and high now... but still no smiley face on my ovulation test! WHHYYYY! The wait feels endless and then there's the tww after this :( The annoying thing with the digital tests is you can't see the line to see if you're even nearly there! It's so disheartening:( I'm tempted to nip to Asda and see if they have any of their home branded ones in stock for me to try to stop me from feeling so gutted!

My thoughts are with you all in the midst of the tww! You've done all you can do now and it really is just the waiting game :( I know there's nothing I can say other then try you're best to stay away from the tests and think positive! Some of you will be pregnant right now and you won't even know it! Lots of love xxxx

@PostieGal yes your in the right place x

@november90 are you using clear blue have you got a flashing face ?

@mrssunshinexxx I'm using clear blue but the 2 day one so I believe you just get 2 days worth of static face! I'm just shocked it's still not even day 1 of static.... I can't work it out!

@november90 You could have O'd already after you had EWCM. Are you DTD every second day anyway? If you are you the CB 4 day you can see the lines? Are you using the pink ones?

The TWW is torture can't wait for the week to be over so I just know.

@mrssunshinexxx How you feeling today? 9DPO?

@november90 ah I use the 4 day one so not sure I'm much help sorry

@Sophieb15 I'm ok no real signs just a waiting game isn't it ? I honestly would ball my eyes out with happiness if I get that news on Saturday i am soooo ready for us to be a family I hope loads of us get some good news then atleast If I don't it will make me feel happy some of you lot do xx

How is everyone?

Boobs feeling sore again, had sharp cramping on and off throughout the day. There was a pregnancy announcement at work today - why is it that since we’ve been ttc there have been 3 announcements. In 3 months. Feeling a bit irritated today to be honest, and tired (but that’s probably because I was up early).

@Sophieb15 we've been dtd everyday since last Monday and I've only been using the clear blue tests! I think I might nip to Asda and see if they have any I stock! 😩😩😩 It's exhausting isn't it!

@november90 is it possible to miss the surge with the clear blue ones? I only use IC opks and you can miss it if you don't do it at the right time of day but I guess the clear blue are different?

5dpo here and the TWW is dragging... I found out today I have to go on a work trip for two weeks in October, pretty much right after I come back from a 6 day work trip. So that's almost three weeks out for October so I've we're not successful this month or September then that's me done till November trying not to obsess and think too far ahead, but I feel so negative about my chances for this month for some reason. Testing on Saturday if AF doesn't arrive before then (I have had short LP in the past so it could surprise me).

Well I was a complete twat and tested earlier today as I hadn't drank much. 8dpo. Obvs a bfn 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ why am I such a dick 🤣🤣

@NamiSwan I feel your pain dh works off shore and I check his planner around Fertile dates and if it's not over a weekend or any chance it may get cancelled I sulk so much :( x

Well I didn't test for 3 days last week... but tbh I don't think it's happened yet because I haven't felt how I would normally feel if that makes sense. Plus my cervix definitely is higher and softer so perhaps it'll happen within the next few days!
I went to Asda to get their tests and they were out of stock and then my engine light came on my car 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 For god sake! Haha!
