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:

@Capricorn8990 glad you're feeling ok! I had to re test to go into work! Luckily my DH didn't catch it! No idea how that happened!! Is there defo not a chance you could be pg this cycle? X

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 20:57

@hoola23 thank you! Ahh I see. That is a miracle he didn't get it. My partner had it first and I slept in the spare room as soon as he got symptoms and tested positive. I don't think so as we DTD on 18th and that would've been past my ovulation time according to my app x

hoola23 · 29/08/2021 21:40

@Capricorn8990 I know! He now thinks he's invincible though 🙄🤣 how many days after ovulation was it- it could of still happened if it was a couple of days! If AF hasn't arrived by tomo I would defo do a test! I'm only 3dpo and already thinking about testing!🤦‍♀️

Capricorn8990 · 29/08/2021 22:03

@hoola23 haha oh it's gone to his head 🤣 I usually ovulate around cycle day 16/17 but we DTD on cycle day 20. I have one test left so if it doesn't show tomorrow I'll definitely test! Will keep you updated. Ahhh the TWW is tough! Hopefully you've got things planned to take your mind off of it xx

GingerbreadTM · 29/08/2021 22:23

[quote Capricorn8990]@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[/quote]
Thank you for taking time to reply 😊
Yes it was a horrendous week, but I am very lucky to have my other half.
Flo app tells me I'm due to start ovulating tomorrow but I think it actually took place straight after AF.

I've avoided pregnancy for years and now when I want it so bad I've to catch a tiny time frame 🙈 so much for being taught in a Catholic all girls school that if you touch a man you'll fall pregnant 🤣🙈

Congratulations to all the BFP 💫 best wishes to you all 😊xx

hoola23 · 29/08/2021 22:40

@Capricorn8990 it defo has!🤣 you never know, my ovulation was two days later than normal this month for some reason. Keeping everything crossed for you!! Let us know! X

WantStickyBean · 30/08/2021 08:54

Ok, so now I feel like a fraud on the September bus, looks like I probably won't be testing in September.

Only thing we did differently this month was to use pre-seed in the applicator each time we DTD in my fertile week, and the fertilily.

Cycle 5 of charting/tracking everything, cycle 8 of "not preventing".

Oh my goodness @WantStickyBean that's awesome!!! Congratulations! Don't feel like a fraud on the bus, you've got it started for the rest of us and hopefully we'll have the same luck as you.

@WantStickyBean what a strong second line! 🥰 congratulations!!! 🥳

@WantStickyBean amazing!!! So happy for you! We all need these positive vibes! I've also been using pressed this month. Hope I have the same luck! X

Congratulations @WantStickyBean!!!

That’s a great line @WantStickyBean
Congratulations

@WantStickyBean congratulations 🥳

MissM94 · 30/08/2021 11:13

Congratulations to everyone for their BFP's it's such a lovely thing to see 🥰🥰

Conundrum12345 · 30/08/2021 11:16

Jumping on this. Ovulated last Tuesday. Had a mmc in April so really hoping for this month.

When s best to start testing?

LadyoftheWoods · 30/08/2021 11:19

@WantStickyBean Yay!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!! ☺️

WantStickyBean · 30/08/2021 11:25

Thanks everyone. I couldn't believe it when the second line started to appear - it came up together with the control line. If I hadn't been temping I'd be wondering if actually I ovulated a couple of days earlier, but I don't think I could have done looking at my temperatures.

Going to buy some more tests now so I can check it's not a freak false positive.

Hope you don't mind me hanging around for a while so I can hopefully see some more BFPs?

@WantStickyBean I am over the moon for you! ❤️ don't feel like a fraud. I love seeing positive news!! Xx

Congratulations @WantStickyBean 🥳💐🎈

Goodgoodthings · 30/08/2021 11:49

Congrats @WantStickyBean that's incredible news! What a lovely line that is 💜 love to see BFPs so don't feel like a fraud, hoping this is a lucky thread for us all

Capricorn8990 · 30/08/2021 12:28

I had an internal ultrasound on Friday. If pregnant would the sonographer have been able to see anything on there? She said she didn't see anything bad/ anything to worry about on my ovaries. I'm not sure how far they can see with an internal ultrasound as only a small bit goes in and if pregnant I would only be 4 weeks..

I'm 2 days late but don't want to test cos I'm nervous but had such vivid dreams last night, craving mushrooms which I used to hate and I've been needing a wee twice every hour.

Don't think I'm pregnant as I didn't DTD around right time but then I wasn't taking ovulation tests etc. I've been unwell and stressed so maybe my periods messed up cos of it.

Any advice or similar experiences would be fab x

StayHopeful · 30/08/2021 12:49

@WantStickyBean ahhh congratulations! Delighted for you 🎉🎉 and such a strong second line! Wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy xx

hoola23 · 30/08/2021 13:30

@Capricorn8990 I think the very earliest an internal scan can pick up is about 17-20 days after ovulation but I presume they would have to be looking for it?!

BingeOnChocolate · 30/08/2021 13:31

AF ends tomorrow - let's see how it goes this month!!

Missy95 · 30/08/2021 14:18

Massive congratulations to all the BFPs this month. Such lovely news ❤️

I started spotting 7 days before AF, very light brown blood up until Saturday- so that was 5/6 days of spotting. On Sunday AF properly arrived. No pms symptoms and so strange for my cycle as that has never happened before. Might be a silly question, but what day would I count as cd1? I feel like im defo gonna have to wing it for September as no idea when fertile week will be.
My next AF (looking ahead) is due 24th September. Which is the exact same date that my 'first day of my last period' was when I fell pregnant last year (sadly ended in January) 😭 so strange, but maybe September/October is just 'our month for pregnancy' xx
