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.

@Taurus683

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 🙈

Not exactly the same but I had my second dose on 10th August and my period came 3 days early (unusual for me for it to be that early) on 15th August... so I feel like maybe Pfizer affected my cycle..... and now I got a BFP yesterday?

So I'm now a big fan of Pfizer 😂 after 2 years TTC maybe it gave my ovaries a kick or something!!

Thanks @purpleskyssssss I didn't track ovulation this month.. took a break from tracking to give myself a break.. wish I had of tracked it now 🙈 That sounds like what could have happened alright.

@Sarah239 that's just the best news 😍😍

Wow this is a super lucky bus!! I'm hoping that's good news for me!

@Dobcaty good luck! Keep us updated!

@Taurus683 Pfizer messed me up for two cycles- I was late with the first one then early for the second one. Late occasionally happens, if I've ovulated late but I'm never early! Back to normal now.

I had a peak opk on cd12, 5 days ago, but I don't think I ovulated because my temps are still low and I have ewcm again. My opks are super light though so probably a few days before anything is likely to happen!

@Taurus683 not the vaccine but I had covid in August asymptomatically and I'm now 4-5 days late, have done 3 tests and all negative... I've never been irregular or had a cycle this long before so I'm hoping it's simply down to covid?! I feel quite PMS-y a few days ago but fine again now, just weird. X

@Taurus683 when I didn't track for one month my cycle ended up being 9 days late! God I was kicking myself for not testing... I was planning on having a few 'relaxing' months, but have started tracking again this month 🤣 the mind loves to play tricks!!

BUT you of course until she shows her face they is still chance of that BFP so fingers crossed

I've started symptom spotting and really trying not to test early! Currently 7DPO

@JK739 that sounds exactly like what I'm going through.. for the past three years I'm generally like clockwork so I can't understand it 🙈 I've felt mild cramps here and there but nothing like what I'd usually have before my period!

@purpleskyssssss I'm with you there.. I've learnt my lesson 😂 Back on the tracking buzz as soon as AF arrives

@ladyofthewoods thanks for reply.. I'd def say that's what's messed up my cycle too

@purpleskyssssss @LadyoftheWoods thanks. Sadly our numbers weren't good (means very very bad) so they cancelled this round. Cervix is down again, so I believe it is what is it now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ we gave our best chance naturally so still a little hope, but I did allow myself some pizza and ice cream to get my happiness hormones up.

@Dobcaty sounds like you absolutely were in need of a pizza and ice cream pick me up! Perhaps it will happen for you naturally anyway 🤞✨

@Nervousdave it's so tough to see that blank result when you're really feeling hopeful, isn't it. Do you think you'll test again, or wait to see if AF arrives now? 💕

@BH1926 yes absolutely know what you mean about feeling loss about something that has never been. Grief about an absence of something longed for is very real and valid.
We've been ttc coming on a year now. Have a dd who's 2.5 so she keeps me busy and distracted at least. But I was putting something in the attic this weekend and just burst into tears over all the baby stuff all carefully packed away- the thought that I might need to go through it all and give it away was just too sad 😢

@Lealu thanks, I'm sure I'm a sensible logical person but then every month I pee on a tenner just to upset myself 😂 it's worse this month as I am actually late, the last couple of cycles AF actually came early after I tested 🤦🏻‍♀️
I have handily run out of £10 to pee on, so will not be testing again unless we get to the end of the week and still no AF, and I make it to a shop🤞🏻
I am awful at sorting DC1 clothes. Hes growing a lot at the moment but is still somehow in between sizes, so is growing out of/into clothes at about two items a week 🙈 I have put sooo much in vacuum bags in the loft too 😔

I'm out 😔 wishing everyone luck who's still in the 2ww!🤞

Hi guys

Can I join in?

I’ve been off the pill since May, I was tracking my ovulation with the cheap Amazon sticks and observing my CM. I had it nailed down to the day I ovulate, but this month when we actually started to actively TTC my symptoms were not as clear … I was suppose to ovulate on Thursday last week but the tests were negative, not even a faint line … it only started picking up Friday, got stronger Saturday but never as strong as the control line. On Sunday morning it started to fade out! Also my CM was rather dry this month compared to previous months …
Anyways, we DTD on Saturday night so will see how it goes. It has been really stressful month for me, had some sleepless nights so maybe that’s why my cycle is a bit off.

Sending baby dust to you all xxx

@Bundaberg84 Oh the dreaded TWW is hard! My fingers are crossed for you for next month

Hi everyone! Can I jump on too? My husband and I haven’t been actively TTC but stopped preventing pregnancy this cycle (been off the pill and using condoms for a year). I’ve not tracked my cycle so have no idea when I ovulated but following our honeymoon over my estimated most fertile period I seem to have developed some symptoms that Google(!!) suggested could be signs of pregnancy. I’ve trawled all the boards and have convinced myself it could be a honeymoon baby but think it’s too early to test. I’m on CD16 of a cycle that is usually 26-28 days long and had spotting on Saturday, fairly continuous cramps/tightening around my belly for a few days, some spells of travel sickness feelings and I have been exhausted. I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen quickly but now I want it to, if that makes sense!!

@BingeOnChocolate thank you :)

On CD 34 now no idea when AF is due thanks to breastfeeding . First cycle TC#3 only had one cycle since I had #2 .

I had the second Pfizer injection on CD 2 and now have one child currently positive for covid so I don’t hold out much hope for this cycle .

I have been tracking with easy@home and I had a peak on CD15 and then high results on CD16 , 27 , 31 and 32 !

God this has been a long month forgot what it’s like waiting around for AF and trying to stay away from tests 🙈

Congratulations to all who have tested positive this month 🥳🥳🥳

Started using clearblue to track my fertility and already finding them much easier but aware of how expensive they are in comparison to other things.

Has anyone used the clearblue monitor? Is it worth the money?

@Lianna93 it's worth having a look on eBay as there are frequently clear blue digital ovulation tests for sale at a fraction of the shop price. Still sealed and in date. Presumably people sell remaining packets when they fall pregnant.

@Lealu that's what I'm currently using but I'm looking at the actual monitor that tracks everything & will test for pregnancy also :)

Congratulations to all the BFPs too many to reply to individually! 💕 TWW starts tomorrow so fingers crossed 🤞 been tracking with Premom and easy at home tests and feel really positive. I go on holiday on Sunday so hoping that can keep me occupied 😂

Sorry to hear you're out @Bundaberg84 fingers crossed for next month 🤞❣️

Still no sign of mine, five days late now and another BFN today 🤷

A helpful tool for when enduring the tww and trying not to waste money poas!

@Lealu aww 😢 fingers crossed this is your month 🤞🏻❤️

@Lianna93 I purchased the monitor for this cycle as it was half price on Amazon. It’s my first time using it so I’ll let you know how I get on when I’ve used it for a bit longer☺️
