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.

@mummytoolive here's to hoping it's baby related not sickness bug 🤞🏼 xx

@Emz861 I've heard of some women experiencing prolonged cycles or heavier bleeding. It's very frustrating and I think if you have the vaccine or get covid cycles can mess up either way! How long are your cycles usually? I feel the same as you! Keep waking up thinking "oh I hope I'll get my period today".. fingers crossed for us that things go back to normal soon. Take care xx

Nice to see more more good news in this thread ☺️ gives us all hope!

Hopefully everyone who has had their cycles messed up, gets some normality back again soon.

I'm on CD28 over here, so will probably wait a week before testing. Having said that, really, really feel like AF is on her way.

@ViL89 I really hope this resolves itself for you very soon, that's really hard. ❤️ I had the worst period of my life (flooding) after having covid in January. The doctor never even considered that covid might have had an impact! Needed medication to stop the bleeding. Both vaccines brought my period on early. I wish there was more research done on how it affects our cycles!

Well then... what do we think to this? AF is now 4/5 days late.
We DTD either the day before or day of ovulation. (Wasn't really doing OPKs)

@wellitywell congratulations!

@wellitywell congratulations!!! 😁

Congratulations!!

Sorry! I’ve been awol as away on hols! Congratulations on all the BFPs! How exciting so early into the month. Thanks @WantStickyBean for setting up the thread and including me… I’m so delighted to see your news!

I’m 2DPO and a bit stressed as DH suddenly seems a bit freaked out at the possibility of me actually conceiving. Please tell me he’s not the only one to get cold feet when actually starting TTC?! 🤦🏼‍♀️

12DPO, BFN on a cheapy this morning and can tell AF is well on her way. So gutted, this is month 6 and due to timing of my best friends wedding going to probably have to have a break for a few months now 😔 I'm thinking of looking into having some tests done privately. Has anyone done this? I don't even know what to ask for or if they will allow it after 6 months?

Massive congrats @wellitywell yay!!!

I'm 7dpo today and have developed the worst sore throat yesterday and this morning it's full on cold symptoms😞

@StayHopeful sorry you got a BFN. I'm off to do testing next month if this cycle doesn't work. We've been trying for a year now and it's so hard isn't it. It depends on your age via the NHS. They say up to a year for under 35 and 6 months over 35 but you can say you've been trying for longer I guess! Think they'll start with blood tests, scans and SA for your partner.

Morning ladies...af finally arrived last night, so we are into the next cycle. Scan booked for next Friday and possibility for the 3rd IUI the following Monday. New cycle, new chance, feeling much better than a few days ago. We will continue to take our higher dose of vitamins and get more exercise to increase blood flow and also finally I booked some days off (same time as my fw) so we will have plenty of time for BD 😍😍 end of the cycle we are travelling home for a wedding (after more than a year of not able to hug my family) so plenty of planning and excitement which hopefully helps to get more relaxed time for us.

Seeing the lots of BFPs already this month just filling up my heart with love and I just want to say a massive thank you for you all ❤️

Congratulations to all the BFPs 🥰 how is everyone feeling? I’m 10dpo and planning to test Saturday morning as I’m at a wedding that day, but I just don’t feel pregnant. Last month I felt like I had loads of symptoms and that was a BFN but this month I have zero symptoms. I’m quietly living in hope though 😂 xx

@wellitywell congrats to you!! Did you test before your missed period? Or were you good and waited? Xx

@hoola23 I hear that cold symptoms can be a sign of pregnancy.. here's to hoping!!

@Dobcaty I love your positive attitude and I've taken a leaf out of your book with your positivity. Thanks for sharing and I hope this month is a good month for you!

@Coco9910 I have given up symptom spotting as I get carried away with it 🤣 I hope you get your BFP! Let us know the results but remember it may be too early! Xx

Saying I don't symptom spot.. however I'm now according to my app 3 days late but I'm more like 4 days late. I took a test on the day I was due to get my period (or around that) and it was negative on a FRER.. so I am reluctant to take another test.. I'm now on cycle day 35 and they are usually 28-31.. I don't want to waste my money but I've also been craving mushrooms which I used to hate and I don't think I DTD around the right time due to covid. I think covid has messed up my cycle.

@Capricorn8990 I read that too! Defo been having some sort of cramping but not like period pain, which I don't really get around AF either so I'm eagerly awaiting until can test! I understand your nervous to test again but maybe the first one just didn't pick it up?! Fingers crossed for you xx

@hoola23 that's good news!! Ahh I get so excited for everyone on here. I love this forum. Yeah I'll get one tomorrow as I've had no AF symptoms at all.. will let you know what the outcome is. Fingers crossed for you too xx

Hi Ladies. Hope you don’t mind me joining in, this is my first post here on MN so bare with me with abbreviations etc Congratulations to you girlies will the BFP’s!

Currently on first cycle TTC #2. I already have a 9 month old DD so know how amazingly lucky I am. We conceived in the second month of trying with her, after a chemical pregnancy the first month.
I use cheap OPK strips and for the last 5 months or so have been doing my BBT also (I’ve been using the natural cycles app in contraception mode until now).

I’m only 4 DPO but already going mad waiting for AF (who am I kidding, I’ll be testing before then 😂)

Anyone else run to the toilet as quick as possible to avoid POAS in the TWW? 🤣
I don't even know where I am in the TWW because of my irregular cycles and not effectively tracking ovulation this cycle but my boobs have been so sore they've felt like they could fall off today and ++cm (sorry tmi). Might test in the am 😬🤞🏽

@hoola23 thanks for replying 🥰 I talked to a friend who is a GP today and feel a bit better, think im going to just try to relax about it all a bjt more (🥴) I'm 27 so going to give it a few more months I think and then look into tests. Hope this month brings you your BFP ✨ xx

@WantStickyBean congratulations this is such wonderful news ❤️

@Capricorn8990 yes that was me last cycle and I thought I would be the same this time, but all I’ve had is a slight lower back ache, but that could be down to my bad posture sitting at a desk all day 😂 yeah I ovulated late this month so won’t be surprised if AF is even later too! I will let you know my results on Saturday! ☺️ Hopefully the test you did was too early to show a BFP and you get one this cycle! 💕

Ladies, anyone any advice or info about avoiding saunas/hot tubs during tww?
I’m going on a spa day with girlfriends - been planning it and looking forward to it for months. But am now worried that according to my app I will ovulate on that same day, or a day or so before.
Would be really sad to miss our spa day and catching up with friends, but also don’t want to ruin my chances ttc this month. I know about avoiding saunas etc when pregnant, but not sure about in the tww? Thanks 😊

BFN for me this morning, still no AF
