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

Congratulations @carringtonm, I got a BFN this morning however I will test again on Friday when AF is due.

Congrats @carringtonm

@HolyShmoly thanks I’m okay now me and DP have sorted everything out and I’m back on the bus 😊

Fia256 · 26/09/2017 07:24

Wow @carringtonm that’s amazing congratulations to you!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!

Fia256 · 26/09/2017 07:23

Ladies, your best to try with pink dye tests when it’s very early (frer the best in my opinion and experience). The blue dye are terrible for causing evaps, I’ve had some really convincing ones in the past.

After months and months of examining lines under certain lights lol, I now just throw away if there’s nothing obvious. With my chemical last month, there was a faint but obvious line on every test, even the faintest one which was taken the day before the bleeding started.

I also mentioned this on another thread before, when I lost my little in June, I was getting positive tests (very clear) with frer 3 weeks later. I’d gone in to have bloods taken to rule out a new pregnancy and see what’s going on. My hcg level that same day were at 9....NINE!! And I still got a clear as day line. So that’s why now I really don’t bother, if it’s not clear, it’s not there.

I know that’s much easier said than done but think that proves how little you need in your system to get a line that doesn’t require squinting and questioning if it’s there xx these were all on frer too. Hope that helps and I do hope all those so far do turn into BFP! Smile

A clearer BFP this morning so looks like I’m off the October bus before it began! Genuinely thought it hadn’t happened this month because I got a BFN on Thursday but that was obviously too early to test.

Best of luck to everyone else. Sending baby dust to you all.

@carringtonm I can def see something there. Keep us updated?

@marigold83 thank you. I was a bit disappointed as it's the first time I actually saw a line. But t must have been an evap or something.

Now I have:
Period cramps, headache and I'm tired. Bit of tenderness in the boobage region but nothing too bad. I have been off the pill for 5 weeks now so I'm hoping it's AF so I can get an idea of where I am.
Also, at the risk of TMI, late last week I hd gallons of CM! Loads!!! Never had that before. And on Friday a pain so bad in my left lower side I doubled up at one point!
It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks I think!!!

Dazzlindan · 25/09/2017 21:49

I had a blue line on Friday which makes me think it's either an evap or a potential chemical. I don't know what dpo I am on cd40, ovia keeps changing my dates. I've not tracked this month. I was so excited seeing those lines Friday then a neg Saturday now this squinter. I've got no af symptoms just crazy cramps

@Lindypops33 sorry to hear of your recent bfn, hope you get a bfp on your retest.

@Carringtonm I think I can see a feint line, fx for a nice strong bfp tomorrow

Aph413 · 25/09/2017 21:31

Dazzlindan I can see where there is meant to be a line but it might just be my line eyes. How many dpo are you now?

HolyShmoly · 25/09/2017 21:25

@Dazzlindan, sorry, I'm not quite sure where I'm meant to be looking for it. I think if there is anything there, it's super faint. You might need to wait another couple days or use a more sensitive test?

HolyShmoly · 25/09/2017 21:23

Oh crap @cherryvicky29, hope everything's ok.

@carringtonm I can see something, fingers crossed that it turns into a nice strong line tomorrow.

CherryVicky29 · 25/09/2017 21:01

I’m out before this months begun, won’t go into it but baby dust to everyone else 😔

hoopdeloop · 25/09/2017 20:38

Thanks for the ideas guys. Will get unfocused! So far, I have 2 huge spots on my chin, cramps, spike in bbt, huge appetite! Obviously I'm pregnant with quadruplets Wink

LittleGoose · 25/09/2017 20:36

@PsychologyGeek mine looked like that Saturday morning, and by the afternoon it was darker. Then Sunday it was faint again. Hoping this is a good sign!

@Bubble04 Thank you! I'm starting to wonder if I should just splash out on a CB digital test - save me scrutinising every strip!

carringtonm · 25/09/2017 20:22

Thank you! I have another test so I’ll do that first thing in the morning! Got everything crossed.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 25/09/2017 20:17

Was supposed to say doesn't look to be. Oops. It looks good from where I'm standing :)

Bubble04 · 25/09/2017 20:15

@PsychologyGeek I don't think that's positive quite yet. It needs to be darker than the control line. Very close though!
@carringtonm I can definitely see a line! I'd be getting a frer and testing first thing tomorrow just to be sure. Fingers crossed for you x

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 25/09/2017 20:14

Really? I can see a line unless it's a weird evap (which it does look to be imo)

carringtonm · 25/09/2017 20:11

Done a test this evening (as I’m still straddling the September and October buses at the moment) and it’s got the faintest line! AF was due today.

Can anyone help? DP is convinced it’s a BFN, but I’m not sure. The line is barely noticeable but there is definitely something there.

PsychologyGeek · 25/09/2017 20:11

Evening all! I'm still on the bus...

This is my first month using OPKs and I was wondering if those who are a bit more experienced thought this was a positive? Thanks x

Fia256 · 25/09/2017 19:44

Yes creamy cm is a symptom, I’ve always had it when pregnant before! Although there’s also been the odd month when I’ve not been! Lots of women have it in early pregnancy so fingers crossed that’s a good sign for us!

Mummyloves09 · 25/09/2017 18:39

Ok I will test in the morning. Thank you Smile

Bubble04 · 25/09/2017 18:31

@Mummyloves09 they sound like good symptoms to have! The most sensitive test like frer say you can test early, but are only really accurate from 4 days before I think. Sometimes a BFP still won't show up till the day af is due though even with sensitive tests, so don't lose hope if it's negative!
