TTC September 2020 Bus

[samantha06]

Good morning everyone!
Ive been on a few threads now since i started ttc baby no.3 in june.
Unfortunately in August i did get my BFP, but it ended in a chemical pregnancy, so back on another ttc thread with all you lovely ladies.

Share you stories and join!
My next AF due 20th September.

Sending you all baby dust🥰

@Theawkwardblonde I’m totally with you. When we first started trying, everybody seemed to announce pregnancy. I was even getting jealous of the celebrities and I don’t even know them. I’m still of the opinion that people don’t get pregnant by accident. It’s impossible!! It shouldn’t be common news but people don’t think. They don’t know what others are going through. Sorry you’re close to break down. Join me over here in tears! I’m also North East. So just waiting for the news!

Don’t give up just get, positive thoughts that your symptoms are early pregnancy symptoms. Can you take an early test? I’ve got terrible cramps and pelvic pain, which I do get with AF but I’m just hoping it’s not. I’m testing on Saturday morning with clear blue early detection! Xxx

@Emc16x thanks for your response. I'm honestly overwhelmed how much support there is on here. I shouldn't be jealous but I'm just so frustrated with it all.
T minus 9 minutes till our update 😂😂 I actually cried a little over the thought of going back into a lockdown.
I'm just seeing so much being posted around lockdown babies-I've had to come off social media as it enrages me. I'm happy, but just keep thinking why can't we conceive?
Too early for a FRER-I don't test early now due to having two chemicals. I tested early both these times and got BFPs. It just adds more stress for me personally so I vow to only test if I'm late. I'll definitely be out. It's just normal pre period symptoms unfortunately. Fingers crossed for you 😊

@Theawkwardblonde I did the same in January. I only just got my Instagram and Facebook back. It really got to me. Just know you’re not the only one and you’re allowed to feel the way you feel!! I’m not hopeful as the doctor told me on Monday that I’m not ovulating but there’s hope!! If you’re AF is due, get it out the way and look at next month as a fresh start, new page. Take it day by day xx

Hi Ladies ! Sorry for jumping onto your thread . I made an account here just so I could post !
I’m just hoping to help those who are trying to conceive and are in the tww . I got my BFP yesterday ( it was very light , tested again this morning and it was much darker ). This will be my 3rd baby ( two boys 7 and 4) . This is the first baby together for me and my partner , this was our 4th month trying . I didn’t track my ovulation I simply went off a period app of when my fertile window was and had sex every day during my fertile window . I have been searching the internet for all types of symptoms since my first month ttc just for any glimmer of hope of being pregnant! So my period is officially due tomorrow . The first Incling I had was the Sunday before last I was in work and had terrible period like pains , lasted about half an hour . The next day I had some stabby type pains in my left ovary , went to the toilet and there was a tiny red spot of blood in my knickers ( nothing when I wiped ) . Since then I had no symptoms up until about 2 days ago I started having periody type pains , which I still have now , but they are very low down and feels really achy . I have also been having some shooting pains on and off on the side of my boobs. The last few mornings I have woken up feeling nauseous, but only slightly . I am also feeling really tired ! I hope this can help someone! I know the feeling of the tww and it is awful . Sending everyone baby dust who is waiting on their bfp!! Xxx

Oh and another note! Don’t trust the digital tests if you are testing early . Mine came back not pregnant after having a faint line on a normal test xx

Hi all, I'm rejoining. Got a BFP at start of this month but had a CP 🙁 well I do need to retest Saturday as per advise of EPU but judging by the size of the bleed I'm 99.9% it will be negative.

Ready to go again providing I ov this month which I'm unsure if I will. We shall see! Did I read somewhere down the thread that hCG levels can affect ovulation tests? I was planning on using OPKs again as they must have worked last time.

Congratulations x

@bez91 sorry to hear about your chemical. They're absolutely awful to go through. Hcg can give you positive ovulation tests but I'd still use them. After my chemicals I used opks and it didn't detect any remaining hcg, only a frer did and then that stopped a couple of days after the bleeding/loss. I think the levels of hcg have to be quite high for an opk to pick it up.
Again sorry that this has happened to you. Fingers crossed you get back on track this month.

@Theawkwardblonde thanks that's really helpful as I was worried i wouldn't have a clue where I was with OPKs! Sorry for your losses too, hopefully we'll get sticky BFPs soon!

Huuuge congratulations @Bethan1990 I'm having pre-period style mild cramps currently and they seem to be on and off. I'm also SHATTERED and can't sleep well at the same time which is weird for me. Currently 10 DPO xx

Is anyone in the 2ww? I’m just heading into mine and have no idea how I’m going to stay sane.

Sorry to hear of the AF arrivals?
I’ve been pregnant twice before and there wasn’t much difference between AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms so don’t count yourself out until it arrives. X

@bez91 so sorry :-(
Yes hcg shows in opk tests so be cautious. Maybe go without this month and try opka next cycle if you don’t get lucky this time. I ovulated 2 weeks after my miscarriage but we didn’t try to conceive that month. I didn’t use opks but have obvious signs. Xx

Thanks @MamaPheebz I've got the same old cramps I get pre period and always just assumed this was the uterus lining starting to shed but good old google tells me otherwise.

I've had a few other symptoms so hoping in not out yet 🤞🏽 xxx

I am 7 days past opk at the moment and have have to wait another 7 for my period. (37 das cycle) Mild cramps but it could be normal.

I had two miscarriages before my first so i am anxious. Good luck everyone x

@bombata2 fingers crossed for you! This is my first cycle after a miscarriage. Really hope we are lucky. I hate feeling so empty and really need a bun in the oven to heal.

@beckyBP i had a lot of cramping a pulling sensations with my son. Fingers crossed for you too!

Anyone got any tips for the tww?

Hi ladies!
So ive 3 diff apps with 3 diff dates for AF!
Period tracker and the one ive always used says 20th Sept
My Fitbit says 23rd and Ovia says 21st!
I did test this morning with a first response 6 day early detection but BFN 😒 but with all the diff dates i could well be too early still.

Also in never sure, is the very first wee of the day the best to use?

Really strange i had been feeling different, boobs have been aching, feel heavy when i take bra off. I nesrly cried listening to the radio yestersay🤣 people were calling in to wish other people a happy birthday, i was driving along with a huge lump in my throat, thats what actually pushed me to test this morning.
Im just soooo fed up of seeing 1 line on the tests😒

@bez91 im so sorry to hear that, i went through one last month😒 hope your doing ok xx

@samantha06 thank you, sorry to hear about yours too 🙁 I feel ok about it now, bleeding didn't go on as long as I expected so I will test Saturday to make sure then probably start OPKs next week sometime because my cycle is usually a nightmare. I wanted to avoid using them initially.

I had exactly that with different apps telling me different things - nightmare. I then just went with the middle ground one and have stuck with it since 🙈 hope this month is your month x

Hi all

Well I had a 7 week cycle and think I had a chemical or something as now have my period and it’s v heavy

Hey ho, onwards ! Xx

So sorry @Emmie12345 ❤️

@Emmie12345 sorry to hear that. Sending hugs

Aw thanks guys - am pragmatic about it due to my age but tbh am just relieved to have a period after it being gone so long !

@emmie1234 so sorry, i had one i August! So mean.
Wishing you a sticky bean next cycle🥰🥰🥰

So, BFN test this morn, super sore boobs, so much so the shower water hurt my nipples!
Balled my eyes out today for no apparent reason, was cleaning the kitchen, but i do daily and dont normally cry.
Am around 8dpo and AF due around 20th-23rd sept, if i am would be around 3 weeks according to NHS due date calculator.
Im so scared after my CP last month but these symptoms do seem super positive, do you think? and out the blue, i never really cry, dont get emosh before af just angry normally!!! And never suffer with sore achy boobs & sensitive nipples normally.
When would you test again ladies? i only have 2 more in the house lol!
Might wait till Sunday or Monday.... what would you guys domm

@samantha06 I'm in the same boat as you. Got weirdly sensitive nipples and I'm crying at everything. I would wait till period is a couple of days late. It's not worth the stress I think personally. I used to early test all the time, and literally tested daily with my chemicals, it wasn't good for me so now I vow only to test when I'm late. I'm due my period Monday. Fingers crossed for a BFP for you. I know I'm out, everything just feels like I'm due in.
