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

@Felicity sorry you're feeling so down on your birthday. It's tough going isn't it, especially when people say stuff like that. How long have you been ttc? I'm not sure why it's such a secret but generally people don't tell do they. We haven't told anyone we're trying, i think because I would feel more pressure if i thought people knew and were waiting for the announcement.

@Fia256 I can totally relate to this especially last cycle, my work colleagues must think i've turned into a complete bitch, just everything and everyone seemed to piss me off to the point i sat in silence and didn't make conversation with anyone haha.

I've been feeling crap for the last couple of days since af showed up but today i'm like new cycle, new chance, fresh mind Smile

Fingers crossed it happens for us all soon!

@hoopdeloop I am extremely hungry all the time, so if I'm not pregnant, I'm going to look it anyway!

yes, this! all of this. Can't get over how hungry I am.

it's a hard time isn't it @felicityheather sorry you're really not feeling it today

My birthday yesterday & had a lovely day, now sad today as I think AF is approacing

Owlpatrol · 28/09/2017 13:11

That is so me hoop my dp reckons I'm eating for two hilarious...not

BeautifulLiar · 28/09/2017 13:04

Happy birthday Felicity! Hope the weather's good. It was my birthday three months ago today and it poured it down all day!

I think I'm out. I've got a huge spot on my face that hurts. I only ever get these when I'm not on the pill and not pregnant. Sigh. First cycle off the pill, think AF is due in about 11-12 days...

81Josie · 28/09/2017 11:40

Hugs to everyone. I'm sorry things are so tough Felicity.

Don't be so tough on yourselves. Hormones are tough to deal with on their own without the addition of people and their expectations xx

NimbleKnitter · 28/09/2017 11:31

I’m always in a foul mood during the TWW. Thank you progesterone

NimbleKnitter · 28/09/2017 11:31

If it makes it harder, don’t mention it. This is hard enough as it is.

Hugs x

Fia256 · 28/09/2017 11:30

I’m in such a foul mood today. Everyone at work is completely pissing me off and I’m even creating arguments with people in my head for no reason!! Anyone else having terrible mood swings during the tww?! Im not normally this miserable Grin

hoopdeloop · 28/09/2017 11:23

Congratulations Emz.

Trying hard with my non symptom spotting, still a week to go to test. I am extremely hungry all the time, so if I'm not pregnant, I'm going to look it anyway!

felicityheather · 28/09/2017 11:17

I'm considering that @NimbleKnitter but the people I have spoken to ask me about it every time I see them. I find it hard. I know I'm just moaning. Feeling miserable and not sleeping. I'm sorry to be venting to you all!

piglet81 · 28/09/2017 10:53

Hi Felicity. Sorry you're having a hard time - sounds like you have a lot on your plate just now so be kind to yourself and I hope you get to enjoy your birthday.

Congratulations Emz and commiserations to those who have had bad news.

NimbleKnitter · 28/09/2017 10:49

Does it help to tell people you’re trying? They might back off and give you some space if they knew

felicityheather · 28/09/2017 10:43

Congrats @Emz01 by the way! Glad you have your BFP! :) xxx

felicityheather · 28/09/2017 10:43

Hey ladies,

I am just feeling rubbish today. It's my birthday and I'm having a crappy long anovulatory cycle. Saw the doctor on Monday and she says I likely have pcos. I could have told her that years ago, but it didn't make me feel any better! Feeling super fed up and like this will never happen. Just wish I didn't want this at all, but I don't know how to.

Went out with the family last night after a funeral and had a glass of wine. One of the kids said to me 'My Mum thought you were pregnant, but you're drinking wine'. Also getting lots of well meant comments from my mother in law who is desperate for grandkids. I just want to burst into tears and say 'I'm trying!'

I don't know what to do with myself!

Ffs *bitch

Presh12345 · 28/09/2017 10:39

I'm out. Birch arrived today.

MyEternalSunshine · 28/09/2017 10:16

Congrats Emz ! How exciting Grin FX for everyone else testing atm

MegEmski · 28/09/2017 09:48

Congratulations @Emz01 !

I think AF going to start early :( little bit of light brown discharge today which I tend to get 3 days before AF

I'm 9 dpo today may poas tomorrow am.

BlueeSpottyTiger · 28/09/2017 09:47

Wahoo! Congratulations Emz that's great news. 💖 xx

Fia256 · 28/09/2017 09:27

Would add the reason I’ve decided 7dpo is because I always seem to ovulate on the last day I get a Positive OPK and have a slow rise the first few days which FF normally picks up

Fia256 · 28/09/2017 09:26

Ahhh congrats @Emz01 that’s amazing!

BFN for me today. But to be quite honest I don’t know where I am in my cycle. I had 4 days of positive opks. And a dip on the second day, so was counting myself as 9dpo. FF is saying I’m 5dpo. But that would have meant I’d of ovulated 5 days after my first opk which doesn’t seem right!! So I’m personally thinking I’m around 7dpo. So really, too early to be testing anyway Confused

Poptart4 · 28/09/2017 09:07

Tested today and it was a bfn. Of course it was. It's 6 days too early and I didn't even use a frer just a pound shop cheapie. Really disappointed now, why do I do it to myself

81Josie · 28/09/2017 08:18

Congratulations @emz01 xx

Aph413 · 28/09/2017 08:14

Congratulations Emz01
Period is late today by one chart but another week away by my other. BFN this morning. Will see how this week goes
