I'm off the September Bus before it even leaves the station and thanks to my longer cycle I thought I'd start the October page.

TTC #1
Cycle #3
BFP due October 4th

So annoyed! Been desperate for the loo most the night. Held it in, went with my last cheap rubbish one and an ovulation test Wink open both to do at the same time, the ovulation test has the important part of it missing so that’s one test gone! And then my cheapie was a faulty test and the dye didn’t run over properly!
So now it’s 6am Sunday morning, I’m full of cold, tired but can’t sleep and now in a bad mood!!!

Fia256 · 01/10/2017 05:25

Oh no @Mummyloves09 how worrying for you! Thinking about you and I really hope everything is ok!!

BeautifulLiar · 01/10/2017 04:43

Oh god Mummy, I hope you're ok! Please keep us updated xx

Mummyloves09 · 01/10/2017 01:40

Hey ladies,

Due to pain in my right lower Tummy I had to see the out of hours dr who confirmed I was pregnant (in addition to the hpt) but I am at A&E as they suspect it could be an ectopic pregnancy due to the pain. Hopefully it's okShock

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 22:10

@MegEmski I’m super ashamed to say yes I have! I just desperately had to pee on something BlushGrin

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 22:02

@Fia256 ooh so have you used an ovulation test as a sort of preggers test? Or am I being dim?

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 21:43

I’ve just done an ovulation test (Im ashamed to say I’ve ran out of my stash of frer Blush) and it’s as close to positive as you could get. I did an IC test earlier which looked like it was either an evap or very VERY faint line. I’ve only got one rubbish cheap test left for the morning which I doubt will pick anything up, so now I’m going to have to wait all afternoon for my next delivery of frer to arrive after work! Trying to not get my hopes up especially after the start of the month

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 20:24

How's everyone's Saturday been?

@UnicornsandRainbows1 glad not just me that struggles with those!

Flatwhite31 · 30/09/2017 20:23

I've got a flashing smiley on a digital OPK this evening. Have never had that before, even when I was TTC before! Will try to DTD tonight if we can find the energy!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 30/09/2017 19:46

@Fia I was thinking it'll either be darker than the control line tomorrow or that's it. It's too stupidly tricky to determine.

On another note, I hope you're doing a bit better than earlier in the month Smile

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 18:46

Ah that’s a difficult one @UnicornsandRainbows1 I would probably say if you did one tomorrow it’ll be darker than the control line! I’d dtd tonight if I was you just incase that’s your positive

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 30/09/2017 18:31

Can I have your opinions please because apparently I'm too dim to work this out 😣 (It's the one at the bottom)

I've swung back around to thinking this isn't our month. Again.
My boobs are sore and swollen but that's the only consistent symptom I've had, really. POAS tomorrow anyway, as I'm going out tomorrow night and have a gym induction on Monday that I'd like to know beforehand.

It's so frustrating. I know that logically, it can take 12 months for most couples. It still feels like I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what.

@BeautifulLiar that’s sounding positive especially the metallic taste! I also cried yesterday. During dinner. Because I felt ill. Kids and hubby looked at me gone out as if I was losing my mind Blush

BeautifulLiar · 30/09/2017 17:50

I've had "symptoms"! Yesterday I had, out of nowhere, a seriously metallic taste. Like I was actually drinking blood. This has been a pregnancy sign for me on the past... Also I cried today. Tbf it took me and DP FIVE HOURS to put up a roller blind, then when it came to the big moment and we put it on the brackets it was too fucking short! So that's probably why I cried Blush

Hopefulbunny · 30/09/2017 17:19

Hi can I join please, I'm pretty sure I won't be on long AF due this week and had some cramping already so not feeling too hopeful. Does anyone else have any symptoms?

Hope to see more BFP'S!

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 15:33

I’ve done what I always tell people not to do! Did an internet cheapie, left it while I did other things, went back to it well over the time limit and I’m now looking at it under the window trying to determine if it’s an evap line or not Hmm my head tells me of course it’s an evap but my heart won’t let me throw it away!!

Poptart4 · 30/09/2017 11:35

Welcome @flatwhite. Sorry to hear about your mc. Hopefully this month will be a better month for you Flowers

With 4 days until my af is due I used a frer with fmu aaannnnddd bfn Sad I think that's me out for this cycle. I won't test again unless af doesn't show on Tuesday but I'm pretty sure I'm out.

Flatwhite31 · 30/09/2017 10:13

Here are my stats btw:

Age - 32 (well on 20th Oct I will be 32!)
Cycle - 1
History - conceived on cycle 4 in June, but it sadly ended in MMC at 12 weeks.

Flatwhite31 · 30/09/2017 10:03

Hi everyone, can I join? I had a MMC at 12 weeks (found out at the scan) 5.5 weeks ago. Had baby removed surgically 5 weeks ago yesterday. Awful, awful time and I'm really struggling. These boards tend to be quite cheerful, and I need a boost. Obviously we didn't try in Sept as much of that was recovering. I did have a bleed 26 days after the ERPC (surgical procedure) but I still don't know if that was my period or not, as I had no other AF symptoms with it.
If it was my period, I am currently on CD10. OPK is negative, but there is a faint line which is better than no line at least.
Congrats to the BFPs. X

hoopdeloop · 30/09/2017 08:32

I did another test this morning and a BFN Sad Going to hold off until Wednesday when AF is due.

Owlpatrol · 30/09/2017 08:31

I need to force myself to wait till I miss AF now because I feel I get my hopes up too much

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 08:23

@Mummyloves09 ah why do we do it to ourselves! I'm going to force myself if I can now for weds when AF actually due...

Bet I can't though!

Mummyloves09 · 30/09/2017 08:08

@megemski I test this morning and mines is still very faint. I ordered a digital blue so I will test on Tuesday as AF was due yesterday.

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 07:52

Although just read you won’t test positive until 2-3 days after. I had those spots not even 36 hours ago (10pm on thurs eve) so maybe there’s still hope!
