End of August bus 2

[sao81]

Continuing from original thread!

@mrssunshinexxx at least with it coming early you can move on quicker I suppose...... sorry it wasn't your time this month but perhaps next month will be more relaxed and enjoyable with your partner being home!

@SGholly apparently you ovulate 12-36 hours after the surge! I don't think there's a way of knowing exactly when it happens though... is this your first little one? :)

The whole ovulation thing is confusing to me. Like you say, its shows a positive on a stick, but it can be anytime from then to 36 hrs later...

Did another test this morning, the line is getting darker but still not solid like the test line.

If it is BPF i think i ovulated on day 12, dtd day 7, 8, 10, 12, 13. No idea which one may have worked

@mrssunshinexxx Are you sure its AF? I'm so sorry. xx Which App was predicting AF on the sat? A 12 day LP is still normal. The only good thing about getting them early is it stops the waiting and wondering. What CD did you get your static again?

@AmIseeingRight Congrats can't wait to see that line get stronger xx

@SGholly Welcome I used the CB 4 day OPK's for 4 months but now I'm just using cheapies as I get Ovulation pain so can pinpoint the day. If you have an LH surge so a positive OPK you normally Ovulate 12-24 hours later.

2 years is it your first? Have you got bloods checked etc? x

@Caspianberg Have you a pic? congrats xxx

Just playing catch up on the thread as usual!

@Cat028 i would take the cramping as OD then i guess. When are you due AF?

@NamiSwan That's good that you know the shorter LP hasn't caused problems in the past - i wasn't sure if it was something that could change after having children.

@november90 I also drink a lot of water so struggle with holding but i just have to stop drinking for a bit on days that i'm testing. It's hard but there's no point doing it if i'm not doing it right is the way i see it. Boots cheapy doesn't look promising either :( Maybe you missed it because of doing the opks wrong or (i know you don't want to hear this) it is possible to not ovulate some cycles...i would keep testing though especially if you're seeing ewcm. have you always had irregular and long cycles?

@AmIseeingRight I can definitely see a line!! i was just about to say you should wait before testing but i was wrong!

@mrssunshinexxx sorry about AF :( i had that a few cycles ago - suddenly had AF after a 26 day cycle and it was gutting!

@SGholly Hi! 2+ years is a long time :( have you been to your GP at all? I use opks and measure basal body temp - the femometer app uses both of these to predict the OD, usually the day after a positive opk but sometimes 2 days.

Right, I do not really know what is going on. I had a really strong pain on my right side this morning and 3 hours later started to bleed, do not know how much because I assumed it was my 5 days late af and put the tampon in. Normally my boobs stop being sore the moment my af arrives but they seem to have got worse! Also I'm cramping, but not like period cramps at all. I'm feeling so confused, can I still be pregnant?! I thought I had all the symptoms :(

@katie1109 Have you done a test?

@mumofbun no, but I should have some clear blue tests arriving today. Is there much point in testing though? :( I don't know what to think, I had a little cry when saw the blood and now I feel like maybe it's just the way my body is and maybe there's still a chance I'm pregnant? I don't want to give myself false hope :(

@november90 it will be yes, if it ever happens!

@Sophieb15 @mumofbun yes all bloods are normal and tubes are all fine. I track my BBT & use OPKs DH has a little less than desired but nothing too drastic.

@Katie1109 i'm not really sure, are your cycles usually quite regular? I know some people can get spotting during pregnancy - i def wouldn't be using a tampon if you think there's a chance still. have you changed the tampon yet? does it seem like normal AF?

@SGholly that's good that everything appears normal then. Sounds like you do everything to have a good estimate of OD, is there anything else you're doing to ttc?

@mumofbun I know that's what I'm dressing, if I haven't ovulated this month it's so long until my next cycle! But hey ho! I'm gonna stop drinking at about 3 and then test again this evening!

No more ewcm today and I'm feeling a bit achy (nothing major) lower back/tummy area so hopefully that means something 🙈😂

I just want to ovulate because I can tell I've got thrush (sorry if tmi!) and I can't treat it until after finished dtd 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Sophieb15, heres a picture. The one at the bottom is from this morning. Its hard to photograph but clearer in real life

I think the picture is out of order actually. Middle one was Monday, top Tuesday, bottom today

Thanks everyone - so pleased even though it's so faint, i'm hoping for it to get darker and confirm with CB on Sat/Sun cancelled the frer order, so only have IC.

@november90, fingers crossed for you and a quick recovery.

so sorry @mrssunshinexxx & @Katie1109

p.s gonna lurk around to see more BFP and cheer you all on

@mumofbun I am going to be home in about 30 minutes and will take it out then. My cycles were always bang on 27 days without a fail. If this is not af and just spotting it would be day 32!

Thanks ladies x

Sorry @Katie1109 sounds like af :( it's gutting periods can be delayed through stress and ttc is stressful!

@Sophieb15 thanks hun I got my static on 7th aug.. can you tell me any exciting facts for next month

I know I shouldn't have but I did another test at midday today and it looks a bit darker then last night! I've had a bit of water this morning though so I'm gonna do another one tonight with a full bladder no doubt 🙈 am I wrong to think it's a bit darker/progress?

Just the normal vitamins & DTD on the build up and after surge. Fingers crossed it’ll be my turn soon. I don’t want to go through a chemical.

@SGholly It took me 3 years to have my first but I was only 23 when I came off the pill I didn't track or have a clue when I ovulated and DTD was prob only once a week. That's good that everything is ok. I think it just takes longer for some people especially since the chance is low each month.

@caspianberg Def a line there can't wait to see all the pics of those lines as they get stronger everyday.

@mrssunshinexxx As you got a static on the 7th you could have Ovulated that night or the 2 days after so technically your AF could be right on time today or only 1 day early. I don't know why the App was telling you sat for AF. I wish I just had an easy solution for all of us. I'm pretty sure my AF will arrive too sat/sun and I will be joining you on the Sept bus. I read yesterday a few ladies have Brazil nuts or/and Pineapple core for the 5/6 day after O its supposed to help with Implantation. I tried the pineapple one month obviously it didn't work as I'm still here.
Do you get a lot of EWCM? I know some people use conceive plus or Preseed if they don't have much EWCM. I do have a lot of it and tried Preseed and I found it was like Slip and slide
What cycle is this for you again I literally can't keep track.
Have you still got O sticks left for this month? When Is OH off work?

@caspianberg definitely a line and seems like it's getting stronger!

@november90 looks from that test like ovulation will be around the corner to me! When i'm doing opks i always stop drinking around 3pm and then do one when i get home. It's hard but seems to work.

@Katie1109 like @mrssunshinexxx said, it could be delayed due to stress but you can't really tell if it's spotting or full flow with a tampon.

@Caspianberg Looks like a line to me. How many dpo are you?

@mumofbun that's all I can count as a symptom this month because I didnt have a positive OPK. Still feeling like my stomach is on a constant rollercoaster. AF due on 28th.

@Sophieb15 don't say that :( we only dtd the 2 days after o and that didn't work :( I'm paranoid

Hopefully I was just too late I have attached predictions for next month and hubby is hopefully off including weekends from 31st - 8th

Yes I have 7 sticks left only used 3 this month xx it's cycle 6 next but next month if he is home will be what I would call our first proper shot at it xx
