November Bus👭

Morning ladies, good luck to all those still on the bus and big hugs to those who AF has made an unwelcome appearance.

Was it your AF mouselove? And did you test writer?

CD19 for me and think I should be ovulating today/tomorrow. I doubt this will be our month though as DH is ill again.

Fx for everyone x

I've just been to the local shop for some bread and saw some really cheap HPTs on sale (two for £1) so I bought them in a moment of madness. At that price I'm doubting they're good quality or reliable though

Period due Tuesday/Wednesday so I suppose I could test in the morning....

I'm out this month :( on to the next.. fingers and toes crossed for everyone still waiting

I am entering the dreaded 2ww now folks so cue lots of unhinged sounding symptom spotting posts!!

That's a nice way of thinking about it looby

Onwards and upwards to the next cycle eh

Think I'm out too - AF due Thursday. Bloody streaks in CM today, maybe AF will be early and I can get on to the next cycle of trying sooner!

AF due Tuesday but have had some light spotting today so looks like I'm out :C

I normally ovulate mid week and my husband works away mon-fri BUT I feel crampy and very excited that I could be ovulating early Fingers crossed

Sorry if this post seems a bit impersonal but I've been working all day and there's alot of posts I've missed. So sorry to everyone who's been left disappointed today and going through some struggles

Yes a big relief. Good to know what's going on.

Oh mrsbarnett I bet that is a relief!! I know i was sooooo happy yesterday when AF showed for me.

Hi,
Sorry for TMI but im really unsure of something, im in my FW and for a day after sex i notice im having cramping abit like lower back period pain, does anyone else ever get this?

AF finally showed up on cd67.

Sorry lovechild and vox, I know it's so all-consuming when your TTC.

Well, a BFN for me this morning, wasn't going to test until tomorrow as I'm not really sure when I'm due as cycles a bit irregular. But I think it's around now and so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant.

I'm actually really relieved. It's taken this to really make me think and I know now that I'm happy with my 3. We also have an amazing trip to New York next year for our 15 year anniversary which we would have had to cancel.

I'm going to hang about just in case and do I can see what happens with you ladies! Wishing you lots of baby dust! Xx

Sorry to hear that, vox. We know how you feel. Give yourself a couple of days and then look to the next cycle. It's all we can do, really, month after month. Fx for you for the next cycle.

Vox ttc has got to be one of the most stressful things we do in our lives and the uncertainty of it all makes it so much harder. Big hugs and don't give up, we all here for you and understand what you are going through. I am also jumping of the November bus as AF arrived this morning (it was a short ride for me!). A new month, maybe a new beginning, keeping my fx for you all! X

I'm out. AF showed up on Thursday. Felt gutted and like I just want to give up now. I can't cope with the stress.

Sureitsgrand please don't test until AF is due. A FRER can pick up before but it's really not worth it for the extra few days. Since you haven't tracked ovulation it's not worth testing early as you could have ovulated late or not at all with a 31 day cycle. Save you a little heartache. When you miss AF, test then. X

Happy for you Af came mouse.

Fingers crossed Af stays away writer

Sorry you are having a hard time lh

Fingers crossed this is your month sureitsgrand

Finally in the tww after an odd cycle!! Managed to dtd both days with positive OPK, then missed a day abd dtd again last night. Have a feeling it's a lost cause this cycle but if Af doesn't appear will test around 15th/16th. Husband works away so this will be last chance to try until January .

Good luck everyone

Thanks for reply, from counting it seems to be a 31 day cycle? I'm dying to know but I know it won't show up on a test yet. Just wondering what the earliest I can test is!

Hi sureitsgrand welcome, how long are your cycles usually? I would test when AF is due rather than from when you might have ovulated. X

Hi ladies, joining with great trepidation. I had a mmc at 12 weeks in August. Started trying again this cycle. First day of lmp was Oct 13th. I normally get my period on the same date each month give or take one day. I seemed to have cm for quite a few days so found it hard to tell when I ovulated? Is anyone good at working out the days, in terms of when I could test? I'm not great with the terminology! Thanks

Purple I've not had a proper real period in 12 years. This was the relief I needed. I'm never ever going on contraceptive pills ever again.

They normally come round to the idea LH, they seem to panic at things like that then realise they'll be fine!
mouse i've never heard of anyone so excited to get AF! Congrats!

Good news for you Mouse sometimes it's just nice to get that reminder that everything is working normally even if it's not a bfp! X
