The October Bus - hoping for lots of BFPs and Summer babies!!

Hi all, any room on the bus for me? Just chucked off September bus by af after long stay for 2 cycles. Cd 1, age 40, ttc #2 and next test date about 22nd October.

Thanks everyone!! Think you are right Purple it looks a little darker this morning. Managed to dtd last night and will aim to dtd again today.

Keeping everything crossed that your temp rises again sk1pper

Thanks mimi it's nice to have a cycle buddy . I had a huge dip in temp this morning which I had last month a couple of days before ovulation so I'm thinking/hoping ovulation is imminent. No +ive OPK yet though.

Me9an that looks pretty close to me but you might find your test line gets darker than the control line if you test today. Doesn't happen for everyone but I usually get what you got then get an even darker line at next test. Either way get DTD and good luck!!

Morning girls!

Another shitty dip on my temp chart today. I've no idea what it means or whether I should be worrying about it but I can't help think it's something to do with my problems conceiving.

Good luck to this week's testers!

Hie dixie and sugar

Cd8and yet to dtd hmm

bairn hope you manage to convince oh tonight.gl

Fx for u unicorns and writer here is hoping u get your bfp in a few days.

Gl dtd me9an
Gl haze1 on the step.l am a day behind you but after ttc so long dtd has become more of a tiring chore and we hardly get around to it.what a bummer

That looks like a +ive OPK there me9an ! Happy DTD!

I got a positive OPK and strong pinchy cramps on the left of my lower tummy earlier. CD 11 so earlier than usual - Ovia lost her shit!

Warned DP that we've got to DTD but he's so tired from partying all night at his best pal's 30th that he has fallen asleep and won't wake up raging! We DTD yesterday morning so hopefully that's enough but he'll be lucky if I leave him in peace overnight...bloody bugger ruining my up-duffing plans!

oh yes writer i would absolutely start thinking of names! I had a negative preg test this morning but am 4 days before af due so was being a little premature anyway.... I think i will be going again next cycle. On the plus side i have a job lot of opks to get through! Good luck everyone else x

Thanks Mumrahh ! It's so frustrating when it doesn't get darker isn't it! Good luck to you too !

Yep, I'd say that's positive. DTD!

Hi me9an, it looks positive to me, it was my first month and I was the same as you? I never thought the positive would come. I had the faintest line in the morning and full dark line later. Good luck!

Evening!

Think I may have my first positive opk/ almost positive! I thought the line was never going to get darker but it's gone from basically nothing this morning to pretty dark this evening. It's my first time doing them so can anyone confirm for me?

Welcome dixie and sugarplum

Only CD9 here so nothing much happening. I'm aiming to do SMEP this month but I sort of aim for that every month but life usually gets in the way meaning we don't quite manage it!

Hi can i join
Age 29
Cycle 4 after mmc in june
Ovia says af due 9th but i had a positive opk on cycle day 9 so i think it should be due the 3rd.

Hi can I join here.
Don't really know what we're doing but
I'm on cycle 2, CD 7, AF is due 17/10 (but who knows if my body is back to normal yet after coming off the pill).
We're just going with the DTD every other day ish if possible :)

I didn't even know chemical pregnancies were a thing, just looked up "cp" on google and voila. Seems like it's hard to even determine if it's happened or not, why is nothing easy :(

Sk1pper, yes I do it from waking. My last2 mornings was 36.3 (pre ov 35.9), today I got woken about 5.30 and it was 36.5, then went back sleep for over 3 hrs and did it again and 36.7! Recorded it as 36.5 on ff, but will take it off if very different tomorrow.

The more I read the more important convinced I had a cp last month. I only tested once and it was negative, so didn't test again, but symptoms were so odd (spotting and lots of spots) that's why I started temping/tracking and temp now (36.3) is where I started my first phase. Oh well I'll never know, just have to wait and see . It's all exciting and very interesting!

Mumrah - do you do it first thing when you wake up in the morning? Your body regulates your internal temp while you sleep so it's best to do it just after waking. As soon as you get up, walk about, drink, use the loo your body will be affected by external influences.

Is this catching? I have a chin spot too now, ugh so painful and not pronounced enough to squeeze it

Hope you get another rise mumrahh

Glad you've had a rise today sk1pper. I totally agree that I find temping makes me less stressed. It reveals so much & is fascinating! I'm such a geek

I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with temping and reading into it! Yesterday I didn't think mine had risen enough, but ff has now calculated an ov date. Today I've tempted and had a huge spike, but I'm at my mums house and it's a much warmer house (heating on all day), would that make a difference? Ff has recalculated again based on this, but going to wait till I'm back at home tomorrow to see if I should dismiss it.

Morning all! Hello newbies, hope you've all got comfy seats for the ride. Really sorry to read the stories of loss, I can't believe how much sadness people have to go through.
10dpo here, just back from my niece's first b'day party. There was a lot of Prosecco (think the party was more for the Mum's!)
My symptoms so far include being angry (mostly at DH for being a general knob), itching (usually get down there itching around ovulation) and back ache, but that's pretty standard for me!

I'm 4dpo and also have a spot on my cheek. clearly a sign!
