October Bus - More treats than tricks please!

Congrats to all the bpf's!!

I'm ok cycle day 31 and I still haven't ovulated. Feeling really down in the dumps - again! (Sorry to be a downer!) Before my last cycle which was a neat 31 days, my last bleed was in January and I had seven months of waiting for my temp to rise, peeing on opks with nothing. I really really don't want that to be the issue again. I can't wait seven more months for a sodding period.

Congrats ladies! This is keeping me sane this week. But I just know af will show up x

Wow massive congratulations on the BFPs. Feels like this is a lucky thread

Well this is exciting!

Eekk good luck ladies! I swear by frer tests but I know everyone's different

@MyAmTrying and @hoopdeloop I can see faint lines! Fingers crossed for you both. X

I can see a really faint line, but trying not to get my hopes up in case I’m seeing things. Picture isn’t great but it’s more apparent in real life. AF is due tomorrow so I’ll do another test then

Looks positive to me @MyAmTrying

This is the best photo I could get...

I’ve got an extremely faint second line on a FRER. It came up soon after the 3 minute timer, definitely within 4 or 5 minutes. Do I take it as a tentative positive?! It’s so faint I can’t really make it show up in a photo.

@81Josie when I fell pregnant in June this year, we couldn't DTD until the evening when I got my static smiley. We managed to fit it in the next morning too (thankfully it was the weekend the next day. I get up at 6.15am so there's no way I'm DTD before that lol!).

It's only my second month of trying. Last month I had one day high, two peaks then back to high. I was also peak on day 8, where as now I'm on day 12 which is second day of high so this cycle is obviously different to my last one.

Thanks for the help. Think I'm going to take your advice and go for every second day at least while it's high, and on every peak day if we can. TBH neither of us enjoy the pressure of it

I usually get 4 but you can get more

Josie How many 'High' days do you usually get? I usually have 4 Highs then Peak so if you dtd now and on 1st Peak you should be covered? I think you're right, if you wait until evening after 1st Peak morning there is a chance you could be too late.

Josie as long as you DTD every other day you should be covered. When you're fertile sperm can hang around for a few days

Hope you are feeling ok @mommy and congratulations on all of the BFP's

I'm on my second 'high' day on my clear blue digital monitor. I think we should DTD tonight as i hear it can stay in your system for a couple of days (sorry trying not to be crude!) DH thinks we should wait for the peak so it's the best quality. I'm just worried that because I poas in the morning and it says peak, we could miss the opportunity as we won't get to DTD until after work on the evening. Any advice?

Oh time is dragging! It's one week until AF is due (well, it would be due then if I was still on the pill anyway). Hurry up!

What is everyone doing to keep themselves distracted and busy?! I'm a SAHM so don't have work to keep me occupied. I might go and declutter a wardrobe...

Viable as in 24 weeks too as got to 20 weeks last time but he’d stopped growing at 16

Yes completely agree, I think I wouldn’t relax until the baby would be “viable” and even then I’d still be worrying! MC will mess with you a bit, I had an early one last month, so really this will be my first AF since. I had 4 days of positive opks so very similar.

I think I’d actually be fine with it all today if it wasn’t for the fact I spent half of last night and this morning feeling like I’m going to throw up! Constantly makes you think well what if? Just want af to start properly and be put out of my misery

Meant to say am on day 3 of flashing smiley. I said I'd stop the IC opks but I couldn't resist, and it was even lighter than yesterday . I think the MC has messed me up.

It's just horrible isn't it @Fia256. I had a meltdown on Fri night and Saturday. Couldn't stop crying. Like you, I'm not too bad today, but with me I can get very down very quickly about it all. I'm absolutely hating TTC again, and I know any pregnancy, if I am lucky enough to conceive, will be a scary time rather than an enjoyable one.

I’m out, AF is starting!

Ahh @Flatwhite31 I know exactly how you are feeling, this month was similar for me. If I’d of conceived, I’d of been due a year to the day we lost our little boy back in June so I was really hoping it would happen! It also means my next bfp/af will be due in November when he was due, and I really desperately wanted to be pregnant before then so it all felt like there was a purpose! Had a breakdown over it last night but feel ok today.

Hello, can I join?! Very unlikely this month as DTD only once during the window but hay you never know!

TTC #2
Cycle #1

BFP due 15th

I'll either get a BFP or my period in the same week I should have had my 20 week scan, which is also the same week as my birthday (20th Oct). The way things are going, it looks like I'll be crying on my birthday, as my body is so messed up from the MMC and ERPC .

Ah thank you @UnicornsandRainbows1! I really need to get up to speed with the lingo
