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

BFN for me today! So looks like the implantation style spotting I had the other day was probably something else!

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 07:22

I needed to pee at 3.30am then was super thirsty so drunk water....woke up desperate for a pee at 6am so did my poas. Still a line on frer but v. pale still.... hoping just due to frequency of peeing / drinking water

Had hoped it would be darker today!

felicityheather · 29/09/2017 20:09

@hoopdeloop I guess it depends how far through the night you are. I'd probably wait until morning unless it's only an hour or two to go.

hoopdeloop · 29/09/2017 17:46

I stupidly did a test and got a BFN. Trying to tell myself it's too early and shouldn't have done it at lunchtime!

This may be a stupid question, but maybe someone can help! I know you're supposed to use the first pee in the morning because that has the most hormone, but what happens if you wake up in the middle of the night for the loo? Do you test then or wait til the morning?

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 17:00

Please do! I’m sure all is well though!

I feel horrific. Around an hour ago my lower back started to really ache (as it does when I’m ill) I feel cold, exhausted and sick and dizzy.

Don’t think it’s symptoms but trying to think positive that maybe I’m ill because my immune system is lowered Wink

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 16:49

Thanks for pep talk @Fia256

I'll update tomorrow after I've poas!

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 14:57

Ahh try not to worry too much @MegEmski
I had a chemical start of the month, and mine just stayed super light and then got lighter and lighter but if you haven’t even done another test yet, don’t worry! I always had super light frer the first time I took them with my healthy pregnancies xx

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 14:29

I'm doing another frer tomorrow morning and if that's ok then a 'normal' on Wednesday which is when AF is due

It was pink line, very pale but pink not clear. Took the 3 mins to appear as well

coastalchick · 29/09/2017 14:17

@megemski - I had a really faint one when I was PG on the first day I tested and it got darker later on so don't worry! Ended in MMC but the faintness or otherwise of the line isn't an indicator of MC (in case it came across that way). How about trying the clear blue with weeks indicator in a couple of days? That's what I did last time and then I relaxed a bit

Poptart4 · 29/09/2017 14:14

@megemski is there colour in the second line on your test? My phone won't let me see the picture. I had 2 lines on a frer last month and the second had no colour at all, came up straight away too. I wasn't pregnant but it gave me false hope. Not trying to be a Debbie downer I just know how disappointed I was and would hate the same to happen to others.

If there is colour then it's a positive. Try to relax and enjoy this time.

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 13:48

I'm not sure, I just keep reading posts where people had a light FRER like me then it disappeared, or articles about how common they are

Basically being ridiculous, there is nothing I can do anyway, so no point stressing!

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 13:23

Thankyou all, I didn’t get the job but I’m actually not that bothered. Didn’t have a great feel about it when I was there and then I’d of been faced with possible unpaid maternity!

@MegEmski why do you think it’ll be chemical? Try not to panic yourself

Poptart4 · 29/09/2017 11:48

Huge congrats to all the bfp. It's nice to see some good luck on the thread Grin

I'm not feeling very hopeful this month :( AF due Tuesday and I've had no symptoms whatsoever. Hoping against hope for a bfp this weekend.

I'm thinking a frer should pick something up from Sat? Anyone get a bfn on a frer and a then go on to get a bfp??

MyEternalSunshine · 29/09/2017 11:42

Meg & Mummy Congratulations!! Ahh so many BFP's hopefully it's something in the air! Smile

LittleGoose · 29/09/2017 10:58

@Fia256 good luck! Is it a job interview?

I was given my notice yesterday until the end of the year. I knew it was coming as the company I work for is ceasing and I am one of the last ones remaining. We've got savings specifically for this reason so not too worried about miney. If I'm pregnant by the end of the year I guess I'll try find a temp job! Does anyone have any experience with this? More worried about having to yell a new employer that I'm pregnant early in a new role, but we just don't want to wait any longer!

HolyShmoly · 29/09/2017 10:11

My boobs are so sore and I only ever get that about a day before AF. 9dpo.
I had one cramps around 6dpo along with a drop in my heart rate so I I did implant I think it was then.
I'm bloody knackered, but I think this has just been a tiring work week.
I don't have loads of cm, but think I have slightly more than usual at this stage.
Flaming symptom spotting is driving me crazy, which inevitably leads to vivid dreams and more confusion!

I've read too much and convinced this is going to be a chemical and the line will disappear :(

Need to stop over thinking....

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 08:10

@Fia256 good luck with the interview
Have a good weekend @Owlpatrol hope you can relax

Fingers crossed for everyone and sending baby dust

Owlpatrol · 29/09/2017 07:53

I've got all the af symptoms sore boobs mood swings etc so holding out a week till af due before testing because I've been late before and waisted loads on tests! Me and dp away this weekend so looking forward to chill out time hope everyone has a good weekend xxx

hoopdeloop · 29/09/2017 07:48

Good luck for your interview today @Fia256 and fingers crossed it's a positive line :)

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 07:43

Spotty chin over here too!! I’ve also woken up with a sore throat, my left eye is puffy, itchy and extremely bloodshot, suffering with bad gas Blush and I have my interview this morning!! Did a frer this morning and can’t tell if it’s an indent line or the start of a line. Really don’t feel like I’m winning today!!

hoopdeloop · 29/09/2017 06:52

Think I'll test tomorrow, was sick this morning which was an early indicator with pregnancy with my DS, otherwise I've picked up a bug from the kids at school!

Have the spotiest chin area in the world too so this better be a symptom or AF is being a right bitch this month

Fingerscrossedandfairydust · 29/09/2017 06:42

Had my BBT shift this morning so officially in the TWW. Really hope this is our month!!

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 06:32

I've been drinking and eating everything too, I've just been on a 2 week holiday to Africa.
