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.

Currently on CD22. Mommed opk have all given me really faint lines, indicating I'm not ovulating. However, clearblue have given me 4-5 high fertility days but no peak so far. Unsure if I've missed it or if I'm due to peak in the next day or so. However BBT had a massive spike at 38.1°C then dropped down to 36.5°C.
Have no clue what's going on.
Due AF on the 1st but my cycle is never consistent.

Sorry to hear that @storkstalk and @ViL89. This only cycle 2 for us but all the waiting around every month takes ages! I can't imagine being 6 months in.

Good luck to everyone in the tww, I'm 4dpo and have the usual sore boobs but trying not to symptom spot. Things are super busy here and I recently got promoted so hopefully I won't be too obsessed.... But we'll see!

Hoping you ovulated @Lianna93, I had two peaks this month but bbt confirmed I ovulated the second time on cd20!!! Testing is a bit stressful but if I hadn't been testing I'd definitely have missed that! I'd keep going so you don't miss anything.

Posted on another thread but wondered if anyone could help here.
This month is my first tracking my ovulation with both Clearblue and LH strip
Still not got a flashing face on my clearblue but my lh strips are progressing well (I thought I would have had a flashing smiley by now)
Does this look normal, photo attached ?

Keep testing @Lianna93 fingers crossed for you

@positiveovernegative I hear many ppl say on the first month of clear blue it's getting used to what your 'normal' is so often ppl will go straight to peak or just get circle the way through? I personally prefer the easy at home ones and I deffo think they look like they are going the right way!

I'm CD 23 got peak 2 days ago, had ewcm and right ov pain, but my temp still hasn't shifted 😖 really hoping tomorrow I have a temp rise - really don't want to be out this month with not ovulating as will be going onto one year ttc in October 😟

@purpleskyssssss 🤞🏽 your temp raises soon xx

I have used my clearblue before but never used the lh strips alongside but thought by this darkness I would have had my flashing smiley 🤷🏾‍♀️ who knows!

BFN this morning at 12dpo 🥺 going to try wait and see if AF arrives on Friday. But I feel like absolute sh#t, I was hoping a BFP would be the cause. I started some pre conception vitamins this month, so also remembering that they could potentially mess up my cycle. But reallly hoping not: i also used pre seed this month.
I've had heartburn since early dpo, headaches, sensitive breasts, constipation and gassy (charming I know), and now I have a cold 🤧 so maybe I am just falling to pieces 😭

This seems to be a lucky bus so im trying to stay positive!

@Missy95 sorry to hear that try and stay positive you're not out yet! But if not I think I'll be joining you on the October bus I'm 5 days late and still a BFN no idea when I ovulated but don't think we caught it!

@positiveovernegative I never got solid smiley this month and kept getting dark lines on OPKs too but never dark enough to be a positive so I'm really not sure what happened

I don't think we DTD enough or at the right times and I'm getting a BFN anyway on CD 35

Felt so bleak yesterday but better today

@ViL89 thanks. Glad you're feeling better today. I had no peak last month either xxx

Hi ladies, Just had this at 9 dpo? It's pink and came up straight away? No chance of an Evap surely?

@positiveovernegative I only got a peak on Clearblue in May

Other months I just used OPKs and haven't ever been able to pin down a peak

Not sure if it's because I'm not ovulating at all or missing it

I've heard lots of women say they aren't v accurate so don't worry too much

Hopefully you'll get a true peak soon

Congratulations @caz198917! That's a strong positive for 9dpo!

Love to everyone feeling a bit down, I hear you! Got a stinking cold and anxiously waiting for the LH rise so I can charm DP into bed with my snotty nose and hoarse voice 🤣 started tracking cervical changes this month and it's amazing how much it changes and how quickly...all this stuff is blowing my mind. Didn't hear a whisper of it in biology lessons that's for sure!

Just sending out some positive vibes and baby dust. I'm still here lurking, enjoying reading your posts and celebrating with all those getting a gorgeous BFP ❤️

Still not sign of AF ..... I haven't tested today.

I least days from OV would be 13.... I would expect I would have got a BFP by now. Had a BFN yesterday

I'm 5 days late with absolutely no sign of her showing.

Stressful!!!

Anyone else have any experiences of not getting BFP until after 14 or 15 DPO... hanging all but also trying to be realistic!

3 DPO... that’s see

I've never had that experience but have read that a lot of women on here may have!! So fingers crossed for you, I hope you get your BFP!!

Im not supposed to be testing until after AF is due (Friday) but I can't help myself. Think I saw a proper squinter second line this morning!! But I had serious line eyes last month and AF arrived early 🥺 I have ordered more tests oops x

Thanks @Missy95 fingers crossed you eyes weren't deceiving you!!!

I'm not 6 days late .... still a BFN not even a hint of a line

I would be minimum 14DPO now so I would really expect something would show so I think I'm just really later which is a kick in the teeth just want to move into the next cycle

I had a line on a LH ovulation test so think that's sign AF is arriving sooooooon bleugg

X

I also have some months I am late. At the beginning I was so hopeful, now I'm just used if it's late, as I get BFN negatives anyway.

I haven't felt like AF is arriving at all, but have had some brown spotting. So expect full AF tomorrow 😭 looks like I will be joining the October bus 🥺🥺

Sorry to hear that @Missy95

I'll be right there with you I think face broken out in spots so know I'll come on soon. Tomorrow will be a week late

X

@ViL89 is that unusual for your cycle? Hopefully you get a bfp or af shows up so you can begin tracking again xx

Yeah a little the last 4 have been 28 to 30 days but I used to get a few 32+ last year so not crazy unusual
Today is cd36

I would have hope if I didn't keep getting bright white stark BFN lol

Ran out of clearblue opk & unable to purchase more due to being on holiday & nowhere near selling them. Was still reading 'high' by my last one.
Mommed opks are giving me very faint lines.
Every prediction calculator & my apps all say I should have ovulated on or around the 16th - so I guess it's just a waiting game now.
Feeling extremely tired these past couple of days, having to pee way more than usual & my ibs has flared up for no apparent reason.
Trying not to get ahead of myself - but also not feeling like this is my month either. Will see what happens next week.

@Lianna93 fingers crossed for you. When's af due?

I also ovulated either 16th or 17th. I've got a cold though so assuming all my 'symptoms' are due to this!

So now I'm really confused, lines were getting darker and now they're light again but my clear blue is still empty cycles 🙈

@positiveovernegative mine were really similar to this, I ovulated late this month. Had 7 days of flashing smileys before my static on CD23. On day 24 and 25 the lines on my OPKs were really obviously darker than control lines (I used one step though and think they all show a little bit different) so I'd say keep going? Good to see LH rising though!

2 days in to TWW and already demented and looking at my calendar every few hours as if magically days will have passed 🤦‍♀️

@Goodgoodthings ah there's hope yet then! Good luck with your TWW 😘
