The October bus is here!!!

Not sure about the bleeding - I came off the pill in Nov and had brown blood/spotting for a few days before AF, which I'd never had before. Could be that I had 2 chemical pgs (though I never got a BFP), but AF showed up each time. Still a bit confused about all that really. I'm charting my temps this cycle so I understand better what's going on.

But, who knows? We're all different, so may well be implantation bleed for you - do you know when you ov'd? It takes about 6-11 days to implant after ov I think.

thanks ladies, do you think the bleeding/spotting could be impantation bleeding or the start of my AF

not that bad , surely seven tee hee! I couldn't help myself!

I always have that 'what if' going through my head, so have to know, either way.

Hi goingmad, welcome aboard!

generic do another test tomorrow morning but sounds very promising!

kateepie that's terrible, you're as bad as I am!

Lol i do love ebay so surprised in myself that I havent gone down that route yet! maybe will have to have a sneeky look later, I feel so relieved now I chatting on here, not many people know we are trying and those who do think were slightly mad :o

you can get 10 v. sensitive ones for about £3 on ebay. Might not help POAS addiction, but easier on the purse!

thanks ellangirl I have purposely not got anymore peesticks in the house :o!!. I had some slight bleeding today only when wiping so have convinced myself thats implantation bleeding, will try v v hard to wait until friday to test x

Hope you do get a BFP goingmadtrying or you really might! Breathe, relax, move away from the pee sticks :o
Alternatively, get some cheapies like others have suggested, then you could do one every day!

Was hoping you lovely ladies would let me hop on the bus with you!. Ive been TTC #3 for 2 months now and I am totally driving myself mad with it, I promised myself wouldnt get carried away but have already done 3 HPT in the last week and not due until wednesday at the ealiest (28 Days) or friday, came off the pill in november and cycles before were around 30 days!!!. I know that im testing early but cant stop myself aaarrrghhhh. It took approx 3 months after coming off the pill with my others so it would be a miracle if i did get my BFP this month, but we can but hope :)

A line is a line generic, fingers crossed for you! There's definitely a need for a few more October babies :o

I'm a bit confused about my dates now because I thought I was about 16 dpo and POAS on Sunday and got REALLY faint line. So, I'm now thinking I ov'd later than I thought and need to re-test on Wednesday. The jury's still out for me. Good luck to everyone else testing this week - I think we're due a few more BFPs!

cheapy early ebay tests arrived today... and guess what, they were sat in my drawer calling to me, and I just had to pee on one, just to get it out of my system. Ridiculously early (7dpo,please don't slap me too much!) but, had to be done. Feel much better now, despite it being the inevitable. Calm and serene. I will now leave it at least 2 3 days before succumbing again, promise!

AF is due either today or tomorrow for me. I'll probably test on Weds as well unless AF turns up, I've only got one test left! If i use it and have to buy more I'll have to admit to DH that I've gone mad and used all 10 I got from eBay in 2 cycles

No PMS symptoms still. I've been quite emotional but I put it down to being unwell.

I CD 28 vegas but I have a 31 day cycle so should have waited until Wed/Thurs. I ovulate on day 15 this month.

:( oddbod.

I was weak and tested this morning BFN!

Hi all,
To those I haven't spoken to yet, hello, and good luck all with the wait!
vegas I'm with sevendwarves on the af/pregnancy symptoms- that's exactly what happened with me for DS.
oddbodd sorry to hear af finally got you, it's horrible having a stupid long cycle like that! It's the only time you wish af would just hurry up and arrive so that you can get on!

I've had some hope today- had a little tiny bit of brownish discharge which I never get between periods. Only a very small but and no more after. Positive ov test 12 days ago, making me I think 11dpo today. I always get af 16days after a positive OPK and have never had spotting before, so I'm hoping this could be implantation? Feel crampy, felt queasy today and having a cracking headache! To be fair all of those can happen before AF too...

Hello,

I'm on DPO4 based on FF temp went up a little today, when does temp normally come down if you aren't pregnant?

OddBod gosh 52days! I have pretty short cycles (24days) so 52 sounds very very long to me, mind you must be nice not having to worry about AF too much when you aren't TTCing!

Vegas maybe you are just grouchy coz of the cold weather!!!

Hi thinking

OddBodd sorry AF got you, hopefully your cycles will regulate soon. Was this your first cycle off the pill by any chance?

Vegas the trouble is for some women symptoms of early pregnancy and AF are so similar, cramps, moodiness, tender breasts etc.

When I conceived DS we were trying 'naturally' ie without OPK's or temping. My periods were so irregular I often had no idea when AF was due. The only reason I tested when I got my BFP was that I thought it was odd I'd had AF symptoms for over a week!

Hi is there room for one more on this bus?

Im not holding my hopes out this month but my fingers are crossed. I carried out my first AI yesterday and it was such a lovely experience I just hope that maybe once will be enough but im realialistic to know that it probably wont be.

Ive used OPK but its a bit unclear with 2 lots of fading over the past week. Ive ordered a clearblue monitor for next month.

Im due to test on 8th Feb then ill know for definate if ill need it or not.

Finger crossed x

Hi everyone not been on here for a couple of weeks. Sounds like a lot has been going on!

Well after 52 days AF finally arived so I am definitely not pg . Back to the drawing board so to speak!

Was our first month of ttc though so trying to not get too down about it. It just happened so easy with ds and I was maybe a bit naive in thinking we'd be that lucky again.

Good luck to everyone hope we get lots more BFPs! I am off to the November bus (or I may just stay hidden at the back of this one even though my ticket has expired, do you think the driver would object?)
