Come on the September BFPs!

[thumpette]

Don't see a thread on here for Sept testing?

I'm cd 11- very flat temps so far where normally mine are all over the place. Hoping that's a sign of hormones balancing!

Had peak +7 bloods done last month and they showed my progesterone was 298 where the fertility clinic want it to be 600 and they can't confirm ovulation below 300. Hoping it was a one off crap result! Trying to keep focused that at least we're doing something about it. Into our second month of tracking and then we'll be put on meds to rebalance.

How's everyone here doing?

Hi Thumpette, I'm 2 or 3 dpo so expecting AF on 10th September latest (usually 11 day LP). I'm not holding out much hope tbh because we only DTD once at 4/5 days before O and my cycle so far is exactly the same as last cycle.

I'll still follow and cheer everyone else on though

There are a couple of threads for september testing:

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/two-week-wait/2336223-september-testers-whos-me.html

Feel free to join. I think there was already a BFP in one of them (forget which) and lots of other people testing around the same time as you.

Hi ladies. I'd like to join you guys. This will be our first cycle TTC after my d&c on July 24. We've been trying for #1 since July 2014 with 1 loss now. I'm currently CD5 and this first AF has been extra heavy.

My cycles are usually long, but I assume I'll be expecting my next AF by the end of September. At least I hope so! My first cycle after d&c was 36 days.

Good luck, ladies! Hope you O soon, thumpette! And hoping to get good news from you, Everythingxd!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Me too, please. I'm 3dpo and not feeling hopeful this cycle. I don't know why -- timing was perfect, I'm just not feeling it.

 

[PrincessTaz]

Can I wait with you guys too please?

I'm on CD13 and hoping to ovulate either today or tomorrow. I normally start testing ridiculously early but seen as I'll be Greece for a week I wasn't planning on taking any tests. Af will be due the day before we return so if it hasn't poas will be the first thing I do as soon as I'm home.

Lots of luck to you all!

Hi InVivoVeritas and Princesstaz! Wishing you both luck! I'm CD 8 and still spotting. But I think it should be stopping by tomorrow or the next day.

Hi!
I'm cd 18 roughly 6dpo. I would love to wait with you all. I have a 6 year old. Got pregnant in oct of 2014. Lost that little one in late January at 13 weeks. Got pregnant again after that d and c and lost that little one at 8weeks. We have been trying for 2months this time. Crossing our fingers.

 

[EverythingXd]

Good morning ladies :wave:

Ksquared, do you normally have long AFs? Mine are normally 5 days, but since MC in June my two AFs were both over a week long.

Well, I'm busy symptom spotting here! My head says there's no way I'm pregnant this month because timing was bad, but I was constipated yesterday morning. That doesn't happen to me often, but I had it when I was in 2WW with DS2... so now my imagination is running off with me lol!

Are there any other symptom spotters on the thread?

 

[thumpette]

Good luck everyone!

I am right there with you at the symptom spotting! I don't know if my body imagines the symptoms to make me believe what I want so much.

FF has given me broken cross hairs this morning indicating that I'm 3dpo but the temps don't look great. I got peak +7 bloods last month and the progesterone wasn't high enough to confirm ov so I'm worried I haven't this month either.

Also got day 3 bloods back and am obsessively googling them! At least I'll be meeting the fertility clinic with 2 months of charting data this month so something is happening xxx

 

[PrincessTaz]

I'm also a massive symptom spotter, just can't help myself.

Had some ewcm this morning so hoping I'll be ovulating today or tomorrow.

 

[ksquared726]

Keaton - I'm so sorry for your 2 losses. So heartbreaking. Lots of luck that you get your rainbow soon and a sibling for your 6yo!

Everythingxd - My AFs before getting pregnant were about 5-6 days before fully stopping. So yes, this one is definitely longer than usual plus the bleeding was heavier. Hoping this isn't the new norm! I remember way back when I was a teenager before I went on BCP that I would continue to spot for a nearly 2-week AF, which was a main reason I went on BCP in the first place. So my cycles have always been a bit wonky. FX the constipation means you were successful! When I got my first BFP, I was very pessimistic about that cycle too. And I actually didn't get any first symptoms until a couple of days before I tested at 15dpo. Good luck!

Thumpette - I'm sorry your temps are confusing this cycle. I always got broken crosshairs when I was TTC before. My first cycle after D&C (last cycle) was actually the first time I ever got solid lines! FX your temps keep going up. When is your appt?

PrincessTaz - Fx you ovulate soon! Hope you get some BD-ing in today and tomorrow!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

I'm a symptom spotter too, but unfortunately my regular 2ww symptoms are practically identical to the ones I get when I'm pregnant.

You'd think that this would make me more cautious every month but instead I get myself hyped up and end up disappointed.

 

[thumpette]

Temps went up again today- Deffo a nice temp shift I think? Added in my cm info and it gave me solid lines. Would love to say I'm not gonna get hopeful but the reality is that I know I will!

We never learn! 😝

 

[everything]

I'm taking the relaxed approach for the next few months but I would like to join in just to fallow y'all =) My testing is not util late sSeptember (part of the relaxed approach is the not knowing although don't get me wrong my CM tells me almost anything I need to know)

EverythingXd I was the same way before my mc my period was spot on 5 days every time (from start until nothing) and after they have been a week every time.

I really like this relaxed thing, I'm still taking femara (letrozole) but no testing and no app or anything and I must say it's done wonders for DH, I don't think we've BD'ed this much since before ttc
The fertility clinic didn't want to do anything since they do consider miscarriage a proof that we can get pregnant so onto the old fashion way =)
I've fallowed this thread since my mc in June and I really hope we get an upswing in our BFP's =D Baby dust to all =)

 

[PrincessTaz]

I'm still (not so patiently),waiting to ovulated. CD15 now and so so ready to be in the tww!

Everything - it's great the relaxed approach is working for you, I had a couple of relaxed cycles before this and it was lovely not analysing everything. But I've fallen straight back into the trap this time and am as obsessed as ever lol.

Thumpette - Yay for crosshairs! Lots of luck for testing time!
In vivo - I am the same, every cycle! Except the cycles I was in was always convinced I wasn't!

Hi everyone!
Hubby and I are currently trying for #2. We DTD on 8/28. I have a short cycle so I believe I ovulated on 9/1, last period was 8/20 which puts me at 7 dpo today. Next period due 9/15. One thing to note though is that we did try last Spring which ended in miscarriage at 5 wks and chemo for what dr's called Gestational Trophoblastic Disease. I'm 7 months off chemo and HCG was 0 prior to TTC this time.

Here are my sx:

4 dpo: Noticeably cramps, similar to AF coming on, backache and cravings

5 dpo: backache, bb's hurt and more cramps, also very emotional

6 dpo: Backache, cramps, cravings

7 dpo: acne, bb's hurt, a little dizzy and nauseous, hot flashes, a little crampy


trying to hold off on testing as I don't want to get my hopes up. Any thoughts?? Could I be preggo??

 

[EverythingXd]

Thumpette - you're so right, we really do never learn! I went and tested this morning (9dpo), BFN of course. Got my hopes up after a few symptoms which are just as easily due to normal pre-AF symptoms, and my symptoms aren't the same each month at the moment anyway due to still getting back on track after MC so why did I let myself get my hopes up?! Silly me!

Eg4983 - a lot of those symptoms would be regular pre-AF stuff for me. Back ache would stand out for me because that was a definite sign with one of my DSs, but it really depends what is typical for you? Do you have the same pattern of symptoms each month or do these vary? My rule is, anything different to normal is a positive sign. Good luck to you

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Princess, any sign of ovulation yet? Waiting to ovulate is just as stressful as the 2ww, not knowing whether your timing is any good or not. Hope you get past this hurdle soon and on to the next.

eg, for me early pregnancy symptoms and pms are very similar, so what you describe could be either one for me. Hope it's good news for you!

Everything, you did what I do every month! Sending you good thoughts -- I got a BFN before a BFP in both of my last two pregnancies.

I'm hitting 7dpo today and that's when my craziness kicks off every month. My cycle has changed since the miscarriage, so the sore BBs that used to die down at 7dpo every cycle now continue through, getting my hopes up every time.

My birthday was yesterday and it was a tough one.. I would have been showing. I mc'd August 4, my 1st pregnancy, I'm 36. Waiting for ovulation which should be any day or this weekend, then hoping for the BFP! Good luck to everyone!
