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:

@Bundaberg84 that's fantastic, here's to September being our month. I had a MMC a couple of years ago but haven't had a hint of a BFP since we've started trying this year. Wishing you lots of luck, it'll be great to have some support on here! ☺️

Bundaberg84 · 28/08/2021 13:13

@Taurus683 thank you! Fingers crossed for us 🤞

LadyoftheWoods · 28/08/2021 19:02

@WantStickyBean thanks- I'm going to get one!

Just got af! Cd27. According to my app, I've never had a cycle shorter than 29 days since I started logging it in Feb 2019! Must be all the excitement. At least that hopefully means next ovulation will come quicker now 🤷‍♀️

Snugglemuffins4me · 28/08/2021 19:40

Thanks for the tag @WantStickyBean . 1st month trying to TTC#3 while breastfeeding after first cycle. Have been using opk from easy@home but the I got a peak with ovulation yesterday on CD 16 when I don’t have any symptoms of ovulation yet don’t so I might try Clearblue digital just to see what is going on . No idea how long my cycle is when I last had it was between 454 and 35. I also got the second covid shot so no idea what effect it will have .

LadyoftheWoods · 28/08/2021 19:51

Actually can I ask a noob question? Which day do I count as cd1? I came on this afternoon about 4pm and it's steady brown discharge but not what I'd call flow... Do I count cd1 as tomorrow?

Charl881 · 28/08/2021 20:27

Hi,

Please can I join 🙋🏼‍♀️

TTC #2. Not ovulation tracking or anything just giving it a go. This will be ur second cycle of actually trying, but we did also have a chemical earlier this year when not officially trying.

Wasn’t sure whether to try this month as we have a big family holiday booked next year but we’ve decided a baby is more important than a holiday - plus it took us 13 months to conceive DS so not expecting it to happen any time soon.

Currently on CD 11 but last month I think I ov’d super late judging by EWCM and length of cycle so got to just go for it from now onwards and hope for the best.

Good luck everyone!

Charl881 · 28/08/2021 20:28

@LadyoftheWoods no i’d count today as CD1!

northernlola · 28/08/2021 22:08

@LadyoftheWoods agree with above - count today as CD1!!

I'm on CD13 here, dtd on days 9, 11 and 13 so far. Don't think I'm ovulating yet though so will have to keep going!

LadyoftheWoods · 28/08/2021 22:45

@Charl881 @northernlola thanks! Here we go again...

Ckhw · 29/08/2021 06:59

Ooo can I hop on too? I'm just into cycle two with #1, CD2, going to use opk this time. Best of luck to all, can't wait to see the BFPs!

Dobcaty · 29/08/2021 09:53

I don't know what to expect anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️…had a bbt drop 3 days ago, and some cramping yesterday about an hour or so (honestly though af was making her way) but my temp stayed high this morning. Was it implantation dip? If so is it not late for it? I know only time will tell…

AllyCat31 · 29/08/2021 10:05

Hey everyone. I’ve been away from these forums for the last month or so as I was finding it all a bit overwhelming but thought I would pop on to share this… my BFP at 12DPO. I am actually in shock. It doesn’t feel real after all this trying and issues with my cycles. Hoping it sticks. Gonna keep testing till the test line is darker than the control 🙂

Toot toot! The September bus is early...
Chanel05 · 29/08/2021 10:18

@AllyCat31 congratulations!

Emily199034 · 29/08/2021 12:47

Hello

9dpo today

Been having stomach cramps since yesterday so thought I would do a test today and there is deffo a line, but its very faint. Eeek!

Just hoping its not an indent or a evap, going to re test in 48 hours.

Toot toot! The September bus is early...
StayHopeful · 29/08/2021 15:08

@Emily199034 congrats, fingers crossed for you you get a darker line in a couple of days 🤞🏼 I'm 8DPO and been having cramps since Friday. I quite often get cramps on and off for a whole week before AF. I'm due on Saturday but last month AF came 3 days early so this could just be PMS 🤷🏼‍♀️ resisted the urge to POAS this morning but I'm sure it won't last long. Would you normally get cramps before AF or was it totally out of the ordinary for you? Keep me updated on how you go x

Emily199034 · 29/08/2021 15:14

@StayHopeful

Thank you! I normally get the day before I start but they feel different, I don't know how to explain it. But more like a tugging/ achey feeling, yes going to retest in a couple of day.
Fingers crossed for you x

EmsTTC · 29/08/2021 15:25

@AllyCat31 @Emily199034 Congratulations 💐🥳 so nice to see some BFPs. Hopefully the first of many in this group 😄

GingerbreadTM · 29/08/2021 17:10

Hi everyone 🙋🏻‍♀️
This was a very interesting thread to read so far 😀
My partner and I have been ttc #1 from January and sadly we experienced a chemical pregnancy in July. Now I've finished af one week today (Sunday), I'm hoping to be able to jump on the bus with the rest of you 💚

I haven't been tracking my bbt or using ovulation kits/tests so maybe this is something I should start doing?

Any words of advice & wisdom would be greatly appreciated. TIA x

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 18:58

Congrats on the BFPs! It's lovely to see.

I wondered if anyone has had COVID and their periods were late? I'm due today (cycle day 31) and my cycles don't usually last longer than that.

I am not pregnant cos I didn't DTD around. T fertile time cos my partner and I had COVID. Last month I only had a 4 day period which was unusual too.

Feel like COVID may be the issue here! Xx

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 18:59

@GingerbreadTM I'm sorry to hear about your chemical 😢! I'd definitely recommend clear blue digital advance ovulation tests as they are clear to read. I don't do BBT as it confuses me and stresses me out but lots of other ladies on here do xx

hoola23 · 29/08/2021 18:59

So lovely to see the BFP, hope it continues for us all!!

@Capricorn8990 I had covid last month pretty badly but it had no impact on my cycle at all. Sadly it arrived bang on time!

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 19:04

@hoola23 how're you feeling now? The tiredness has got me so much. I'm exhausted lately. Good news it not impacting your cycle! Xx

hoola23 · 29/08/2021 19:39

@Capricorn8990 I feel loads better now but still get tired super quickly. Had really bad heart palpitations for two weeks but I also kept testing positive for another week after the 10 days. I'm double jabbed too! It was not nice so I'd hate to think how I would have been if I didn't have the vaccinations! How are you feeling?! X

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 19:48

@hoola23 ohh the heart palpitations sound horrible 😞! Glad you're feeling better. We were told by track and trace not to test for 90 days after testing positive cos it can still show as positive. I'm not double vaccinated so I think that may be why I felt so rough xx

@hoola23 sorry I copy and pasted your message into my reply so I didn't miss anything 🤦🏻‍♀️ x
