End of August bus 2

[sao81]

Continuing from original thread!

@mumofbun totally!! I have tried everything. Like you say it's always there niggling away.

@mumofbun @Cat028 I'm fine when I'm not in work. In work having the computer in front of me and being quiet I tend to google everything. Roll on sat and hopefully it is lucky month 7 for me.

How many BFP's have we had so far only 2 is it? Is anyone due to test tomorrow?

Will we do a Symptoms from DPO to keep our thread busy??
I'll start
1DPO Nothing
2DPO Tingly itchy boobs queezy small bit of backache
3DPO Aches everywhere constipated
4 DPO Watery CM boobs tender on sides backache nausea and diarrhoea cramps(didn't have diarrhoea though)
5DPO Boobs getting a little sorer Watery CM Leg ache back ache very dull cramps.
6DPO Stretching feeling in hips backache boobs still only a bit tender on sides. PM back ache and pinching in lower abdomen.
7DPO Backache and dull ache still there but not as bad boobs bit more tender burning sensation on sides hip pain is radiating down my thighs
8DPO dull backache boobs sore few pains every now and then on them.

@Sophieb15 oh i can't do that list sorry! it's the sort of thing that definitely would feed anxiety for me so i'm just taking it day by day rather than looking back!

Can relate to you definitely with the computer in front of me - same with watching t.v and having my phone on me, it's too easy to just google. So i've just been leaving my phone in the other room and doing some craft to keep my hands busy!

So guys I've just tested and still not smile face! What the heck! I'm SO frustrated!!!!!!

Hey everyone, just joining in. I’m pretty sure this is TMI but I’ve got ALOT of creamy white CF I’ve never noticed it previous cycles, AF is due next Thursday is this normal??

@mumofbun I feel the same sorry @Sophieb15 that wouldn't do me any good but sure someone will join in xx @Lf803 yes I have creamy cm too ... I'm so nervous

@mrssunshinexxx how many dpo are you? Is this new to you too? Or have we just not noticed it before? I feel like I’m going loopy haha

@november90 which kit are you using and are you using it every day at the same time?

@Caspianberg and @Moonstone12 congrats on the positives, hope they're both sticky eggs for you :)

I've been googling 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hcg isn't produced until egg implantation which can be anything from 7/8/9 dpo +.

So why do we test earlier than it's produced? If it isn't produced then it wouldn't show...

@mumofbun @mrssunshinexxx That's no prob I was just trying to keep myself busy doesn't look like anyone wants to.

Backache has eased fingers crossed it stays away.

@Lf803 I've Thick white CM I think mine is normally creamy at this stage

@flissity I know and Implantation can occur 6-12 days after O so even at 14 DPO it still may not show up if implantation occured on 12 DPO.

@Sophieb15 well that's something I am glad I googled for once ☺️ takes the pressure off wondering I think for me. I may give Mumsnet a break for a few days xx

@Fredthespider I'm using clear blue digital the 2 day detection and yes I've tested at similar times! But I believe on these tests I should get a smile face for 2 days so I don't think I've missed it yet ?

@november90 i might be wrong but with the clear blue are you supposed to use fmu? is that maybe why you're not getting anything? Feeling your frustration though!

@flissity a good google for once!! i think it's easy for everyone to get into that mindset of "maybe i'll be different" when it comes to ttc. So you're just hoping so hard that you'll be the one that implants early and gets the positive early! I nearly took a fr test when i wasn't getting a positive on the opks because i thought maybe AF wasn't AF and i'd actually been pregnant since last cycle...it just makes you a bit mad and there's nothing wrong with that!

That's ok @Sophieb15 different people cope in different ways so you do whatever makes you feel best! I just know for me that over listing is a sign of my anxiety getting bad but for some people it helps. I'm still hopeful your back ache was due to implantation!

Thanks @mumofbun you are right. I need to chill out over the next few days and I can definitely best do this by not talking about it so much. I expect I will be back anyway !! But have a good week guys xx

@mumofbun @Sophieb15 Not even lunch with my auntie took my mind off it. Usually when I'm chatting any symptoms go out of my mind but felt like a dull sicky feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I haven't been keeping track of symptoms this month because I don't know for sure what dpo I'm on. Guessing 6/7dpo. Feeling very strange this cycle though.

@november90 fingers crossed you've not missed it! I use the CB connected kit as its what we used to conceive number 1 so I trust it. I think all the CB digital kits take a baseline to compare against each day so it's important to test at the same time and every day as I think if you miss a day it kinda resets itself. The first time you use it after it resets it always gives a blank circle as that's the baseline. Frustrating as the sticks are expensive and it would be nice to skip some early days sometimes.

@Lf803 hmm I had it last month x

@Sophieb15 your symptoms look promising when will you test?

9dpo today and now not interested in testing. I've decided this isn't my month. DS is refusing to sleep this past week and I'm walking around like a zombie with a never ending migraine. Before I thought the migraine was a pregnancy symptom but now I think I'm just bloody tired . Roll on AF so we can move onto another cycle!

@mumofbun oh really? I definitely haven't been using my first wee! I don't like the digital ones... I think it's more encouraging to see a line progress so at least you can try and estimate where you're at!

@Fredthespider oh no way, you're joking! I skipped a couple days last week and have been testing at different times so perhaps this has messed it up abit!

Sorry if tmi but just had a big bit of ewcm so perhaps tomorrow might be my day! 😩

Does anyone else not get any symptoms of AF before it shows up? I get bloating and creamy CM (sorry if TMI) after ovulation and in the leadup to AF, but no sore boobs or cramps. Usually get cramps once AF has started but nothing before. Am I weird? I see all these symptoms of backache etc whereas I basically never know when AF is going to arrive until the morning it happens.

6dpo and nothing happening here. Creamy CM but that's usual for me, and I'm massively bloated. My LP is usually 10 days or so, so if AF hasn't arrived by Sunday I'll start to feel a bit more positive. I'm off to Wales for a week with DH and the kids on Friday, so not sure when I will test - DH is not keen on testing early and I only have two IC left to test so need to time it right. Can't work out whether to do it Sunday or Monday, as if I hold out AF will get me before I waste a test.

@november90 i might be wrong but i would def give the instructions a careful read especially after reading @Fredthespider 's comment!

@NamiSwan everyone is different when it comes to AF so i wouldn't worry about that. However are you sure about your LP? if you LP is only 10 days then i think that's lower than it should be and can cause problems with ttc. I see you already have kids so might not be but something to be aware of.

@Cat028 did you have ovulation symptoms?

I swear someone needs to just come up with a period test and it would be easier!!!!

@mumofbun I cramped on CD 15 (during my fertile window) at night and it kept me up. Was gone in the morning. Not sure if that was O because I think I missed my surge this month.

Hi everyone sorry to jump on. I'm new to mumsnet and wondering if there is a September bus somewhere? Can't seem to find one x

Hi @CarolineKate yes there is I just tagged you on it x
