Toot toot! The September bus is early...

[WantStickyBean]

Grab your seats on the September bus (though I know there are a few of us still testing in August).

Absolutely everyone welcome - I'll attempt a list of tags for "reserved seats" but am guaranteed to have missed quite a few:

Hoping it's a month with lots of baby dust for us all.

@Lealu I'm in the tww - 8dpo trying hard not to think too much about it and holding off testing until missed period (if I can 🙈) I was symptom spotting so bad last month so gonna try not to this next week 🤪

Thank you so much for your well wishes everyone. My thoughts are with everyone who has been disappointed this month, sending you all massive hugs. I don't think it will sink in for a while, I still don't believe it's real.

xx

Morning ladies. I am either 2dpo or 7dpo (due to spotting a week before af due, im not sure which day to count). Its going to be a lonnnnngggg TWW 🤣

Congrats @Sarah239

Wish I had started tracking my bbt earlier 😑 OvuSense hasn’t confirmed ovulation yet and I’m at CD23 😓
Tracking on fertility Friend aswell as ovia, flow and glow 😂
Might start doing opks aswell, can anyone recommend any good ones in the UK? Xxx

@BH1926 yeah I usually find I’m ok the first week, because I don’t expect any symptoms then, but week 2 of the tww it’s so hard not to read into everything! I wait until AF due now before poas. Can’t bear any more heartbreak ❤️‍🩹
How long have you been ttc? Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

@Lealu yeah 2nd week definitely harder. I convinced myself last month I was but obviously wasn't 🤦🏼‍♀️ I felt so stupid was upset over something there never was if you know what I mean 😔
I'm cycle 5 of ttc #2 so not been too long yet. How long have you been trying? x

@Lealu thank you and I've everything crossed for you too ❤️ x

Wow @Sarah239 that really is truly amazing, so glad you finally got your BFP especially after that long wait!! Gives hope to never loose hope!

Wishing you good luck and a happy and healthy pregnancy 😃

@Sarah239

Hi everyone. I haven't been here much ever, but my husband and I have been going through infertility for 2 years 3 months.

I HAD BOOKED MY FIRST IVF APPOINTMENT LAST WEEK.

I have never had a positive pregnancy test before. My period was due yesterday/today, and I thought, rather than thinking 'what if' the whole weekend and driving myself crazy, I would just take one this morning.

The line came up straight away, I started freaking out and immediately dipped the FRER too.

I can NOT believe it. It's hard to trust it. I'm just praying it's real and that this sticks!

What do I do now?!?! I'm scared even to turn on "pregnancy mode" on my tracking apps, just don't want to tempt fate!

🥳🥳 congratulations!🥳🥳

@MrsBiddy someone should be along with a good suggestion. I think a lot of people use clear blue because it's easy to use, but they are expensive. I've been using some cheap ones off Amazon, called femometer. I think the sticks themselves are ok, but I'm not sure about the app that goes with them. If I use the intelligent recognition mode it basically always comes out as high, even if the line looks pretty faint to me. It essentially means my lh is high literally all the time. I've started just logging it as either positive or negative manually otherwise it confuses my other apps if I just keep putting high all the time!

Hey everyone!

I’ve been off the grid on a two week vacation and just catching up with all the new posts!
Congratulations to everyone with BFPs this month! So so so encouraging to see, and I’m sure there will be many more to come over the next two weeks!

I had my fertile window between Sept 4 and 10, and managed to DTD on 4 of those days including O day, so feeling really hopeful! 🤞🏻
This is our cycle 2, #1! I must admit that being away was a great distraction! TTC this cycle felt nice and easy, I didn’t do any ovulation tests or force anything, instead decided to just enjoy and go with the flow this month!
I was also obsessively spotting symptoms last cycle and testing from 7 DPO, which I’ve promised myself not to do this time round.
I’m 2/3 DPO today, feeling fine and don’t plan on testing early. But hey, famous last words, right?

Anyways, good luck to everyone! I will keep reading your updates and have my fingers crossed for all of us! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning ladies,

I’ve been lurking on this bus this month, used to be on buses last year before my MMC in June, then stopped following.

Just thought I’d share my experience here as I often look here for advice and general questions, so this might help someone.

I’ve been off the pill since last year, but not actively trying since my MMC. I commute for work a lot so it’s easy to avoid the fertile window. Last month we as the first month I didn’t actively avoid the days around ovulation. According to flow, which is usually quite accurate for me, I ov’d on the 31st and we dtd on the 27, 29 and 30th.

I was feeling off in general, really hot and sweaty while doing minimal effort, my nips felt very sensitive and tingly last week, and my regular mouthwash has been tasting really off. I tested with a rapid response (not a frer) at 8dpo and it was a bfn. Today I decided to use the second test in the pack and this was the result.

I should be at 12 dpo, I know the line isn’t the strongest but it’s a regular rapid first response, not a frer.

I’ll test again, today or the next couple of days. But if anyone knows of a preggers for us for me to join, I might also very tentatively join.

All the best wishes to you all. X

@WildButterfly Congratulations ❤️

Thank you! 💗

AF is either 2 or 4 days late, but because I have a shortish luteal phase I'm only 11dpo. Felt so certain we'd caught it this month, and I have definitely been more hormonal this weekend than I would be before AF but a frer gave me a very blank screen just now. I've got a really stressful week at work this week, and I was hoping that if I was pregnant, that little secret would keep me going.
I did only get a positive really late with #1, but wasn't tracking O so no real idea of when we conceived or how "late" the test truly was🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi ladies, I’m freaking out a little bit! This is our first month trying and I have 6 days till AF is due, I was convinced we were out as I’ve had no symptoms but please tell me everyone sees what I see?
I’m in shock and I feel like it’s going to change again so I’m trying not to get too excited about it?

Sorry for the ramble I’m just in disbelief I think

Sending positive baby vibes to all 💕

🥳🥳🥳

Morning ladies, please finger cross for us we are on the way to the clinic for our 3rd IUI, we were very busy in the last few days as we try SMEP this cycle, and hoping his swimmers are still in good shape 🤞

OMG my tww starts tomorrow 🙈

@Smushied I can see!! WOW! Congratulations!

This is a very lucky bus 🥰

Looks like a positive @Smushied how exciting. Congrats x

@Smushied I definitely see a line! Congratulations ❤️

Wow what a lucky bus to be on, Big Congratulations to all the lovely ladies who have a BFP this month xx🎉
Iv been quite quiet on this bus as I find I get a bit consumed with TTC sometimes, but just popping on to congratulate everyone, currently cycle day 16 so very much in fertile window, Iv been ovulating at cycle day 18 the last few months! Fingers crossed and hoping for the best xx

Been so busy this month so far so have only really had a wee scroll here & there but even more BFPs for everyone - congratulations!! ❤️

I'm somewhat less busy & have lots of time off work so I'm looking forward to a stress free month. Currently on CD15 & due to ovulate this week! Using mommed as well as clearblue this time because I'm absolutely determined it's happening this month - wish me luck!

Congratulations to all you lovely ladies with your BFP. So amazing to hear all the good news!

AF turned up for me today, so CD1 of cycle number 2 TTC baby #2 here. Fingers crossed this will be a lucky month for us all 🤞🏻 anyone else CD1? xx

Congrats everyone.. so many BFP's 😍😍

My AF is now four days late and I'm getting BFN's everyday. I'm never late and if I am the odd time it would just be a day. I've had a period since my second dose of Pfizer vaccine but I'm wondering if this could be a delayed reaction to the vaccine.. Has anyone experienced similar? I'm dreading if and when it comes that'll it'll be very heavy 🙈

Looks like a positive @Smushied 😃

Good luck @Dobcaty fingers are crossed thos is your lucky month

@Taurus683 did you track you ovulation this month? - potentially could of had a delayed ovulation due to it? So delayed your cycle?
