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.

Cycle #3

@Aph413 I’d say both ours look the same. Going with a positive!

Aph413 · 22/09/2017 16:20

I think I'm nearly there. Closest I've seen to positive. Does it look that way to anyone else?

We DTD this morning. Don’t think I’ll get DP to DTD again tonight. So will DTD tomorrow then. I’ve finished my OPK. Do you think it’s safe to DTD tomorrow and Sunday and not go buy more to check? Or should I buy more to see?

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 22/09/2017 15:52

I think it might be a tiny, tiiiny bit off but might be + tomorrow, so I'd class it as so if I were you ^^ best to get an extra day in than not 😊

pixielove123 · 22/09/2017 15:39

Ladies. Is this a positive OPK?

Hi all, checking in from holiday here :-)

Had a positive opk Monday which tied in with my app. We're on a (very) belated honeymoon (4 year anniversary 😂) so we've been DTD every day sometimes twice. So maybe scuppered our chances with too much shagging....
But it's been fun and back to reality on Sunday

AF due 4th October so 12 days to wait. Not that I'm counting.

pixielove123 · 22/09/2017 12:29

@Fia256 ah that’s interesting. Always good to know the reasons. Baby dust to you!

Fia256 · 22/09/2017 12:23

@pixielove123 sorry you’ve had one too Flowers they told me to wait a till after I’d had a period when we had our late miscarriage in June, but I thought I was pregnant before getting (I wasn’t). When I went in for bloods to be done, the midwife told me they only tell you that so that they can date the pregnancy as not everyone goes straight back into normal cycles. So that’s why we’ve decided to get straight on with it again as we’ll be given scans from 6 weeks anyway if it ever blooming happens! It’s so frustrating isn’t it!

Hi guys new here.
TTC #1
Cycle #5
BFP due 27th sept

Mamabooksbabynumber2 - I have a 30 day cycle and using CBFM, it tells me i ovulate on day 18/19

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 22/09/2017 11:54

I'm starting to think ovia is predicting ov on the wrong days. My cycle is average 30 days and it says my fw starts on cd17 changed app and it says I am in fw and if on cd16.

I think saying my fw not starting till cd17 is quite late isn't it?
I can't be bothered to do.those ov sticks. What does everyone think?

SGDA · 22/09/2017 11:51

Hopping on board, AF came today so I'm out for this monthSad

pixielove123 · 22/09/2017 11:42

@Fia256 I find this whole process frustrating. When I had a chemical my Dr advised me to stop TTC until I had one cycle afterwards. Not too sure why though.

Also not too sure what’s going on with me. Still no positive OPK and CD 27. EWCM today though. DTD this morning. Have been DTD every day since Sat but we skipped yesterday. Do you thing that if a man DTD too much that he can run out swimmers? Blush

Fia256 · 22/09/2017 06:53

That is a bit strange @Fingerscrossedandfairydust. I normally have a bold second line when I get the smiley face!

I’m thinking I’ve not ovulated this cycle. Had all the signs of ovulation, had a temp dip, then it went back up to pretty much the same as it was before! It’s frustrating but I haven’t had a period since my chemical yet so trying not to be too bothered by it!

Fingerscrossedandfairydust · 22/09/2017 06:39

Hi ladies

I am confused. I have been using my clear blue digital monitor since cd 5 as I my period only lasted 1 day this month and got two days of low fertility before going straight to peak this morning on cd 7. It seems too early as I normally ovulate around cd 13. I am away with work tonight so unable to dtd and we haven't since Sunday as fertile window not even due to start until Sunday. Do you think it could be wrong? I have looked at the lines and the one supposed to predict my LH surge looks incredibly faint in comparison with how it usually looks. I would have expected flashing at most!

hoopdeloop · 21/09/2017 18:55

Am I being thick? I'm in my fertile phase and my cm has changed from clear egg white to white egg white. It's not like school glue. Is that normal? It's only cos I'm tracking everything that I notice, normally I wouldn't give two hoots Grin

PabloEscobarlo · 21/09/2017 09:01

@Fia256 I'm the same lots of ewcm but no positive opk yet

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 21/09/2017 07:25

We're off on holiday this weekend so I'll be abroad for AF. Toying with buying a FRER to take with me just in case no AF arrives, but feel weirdly like that's just tempting fate? Can't seem to get my silly brain to accept how unlikely it is this month!

Fia256 · 21/09/2017 07:20

4th day of positive ovulation test today Confused and I’m definitely not getting confused, the test line is as strong as the control line! Definitely not pregnant either. Chemical at the start of this month though so probably just that messing everything around frustratingly!!

HolyShmoly · 20/09/2017 21:09

Welcome Coastal and happy birthday in advance!

Welcome to all other newcomers too!

@Coastal you're in the right place :)

coastalchick · 20/09/2017 20:14

Think I'm in the right place. I'm 39 (tomorrow) and OH is 34. We got pregnant first go start of July but at end of August had a confirmed MMC at just over 9 weeks (though baby had stopped developing somewhere around the 6 week mark). Had medical management on 2 Sept and got the all clear scan yesterday.

Did an ovulation test Mon and got a negative then yesterday got a static smiley. Back to negative today. We were going to DTD but we tried last night and was too painful for me so stopped. Decided not to bother this am as was negative test. Plus we are going on hols tomorrow (Sicily) for 2 weeks.

According to Clue our next FW starts mid-October so will probs be doing a FRER end October. Going to take clear blue digital with me though and test ovulation each day because that test could've just been a blip given recent events - someone said that sometimes your body has a few goes at ovulating before it actually does it.

So, hoping that this October bus works for us all!

BeautifulLiar · 20/09/2017 20:14

pixie they are 9, 6, 4 and 18 months (the fifth one got to 9 weeks). This will be my DP's first baby so we're v excited! X

loobylou124 · 20/09/2017 20:05

We've only managed to dtd once this entire fertile week, so am feeling a bit meh about this cycle now. But we dtd every single day the last two months and got nuffin, so who knows? I guess when it's your turn, it's happening, no matter what you've done or not done! Have rather angry ovulation pain tonight so am aiming to jump DH when he gets in from work later, just for good measure 😉

HolyShmoly · 20/09/2017 19:56

I thought I was going to ovulate today, but I'm not sure now. DH is going to be exhausted at this rate. We actually missed last night as we were knackered by the time we got to bed. Hopefully we'll get enough going on to make it happen this month.

I keep thinking other things are happening on October 4th, it's just cause that's when AF is due and it's seared into my brain!!

Ah thanks for that @BeautifulLiar and Wow. 5 kids. That's incredible. What are their age gaps. A friend who's twin sister had 10 kids. Always admired her!!
