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.

I had hyperemesis gravidarum both times so am dreading it....but also the fact I have nausea is exciting....

BeautifulLiar · 20/09/2017 18:58

Ha, no, I don't think so?! Always nausea. I never, ever get sore boobs though, whether pregnant or not. I'd rather have them than debilitating sickness!

Hardheadedwoman39 · 20/09/2017 18:51

@BeautifulLiar did you ever have burping as a sign of early pregnancy? I have that, nausea and sore boobs Hmm

BeautifulLiar · 20/09/2017 18:35

pixie I don't know if this will help but I don't think I've EVER noticed EWCM, and I've been pregnant five times (all conceived very quickly). I don't even bother to look for it now and I'll just get stressed that there isn't any!

pixielove123 · 20/09/2017 18:08

TMI warning. My CM was watery boarder-line EWCM and now when I checked it seems thicker and sticky... is that normal? Still no positive OPK tonight either...

Didn't realize that waiting for ovulation could be as bad as the TWW Hmm

Aph413 · 20/09/2017 17:42

CD 20 now for me But still not a single sign of it happening.

felicityheather · 20/09/2017 17:36

@Aph413 I don't think I have ovulated yet either... I'm on day 18

Aph413 · 20/09/2017 17:26

Still don't appear to have ovulated yet this cycle despite 9 high readings on my clear blue test. I'm assuming I'm in for a very long cycle or I'm out before October's even begun

Steaksauce · 20/09/2017 16:21

@CoffeeWithMyOxygen I was like that my first cycle. Symptom spotted like mad.
Dh didn't help one day in that TWW when I mentioned that I wasn't Hun hey and felt a bit sick and he said "OMG YOU'RE PREGNANT!"
 but it's sweet he's so excited.

I'm happily chilled this time. I care but I'm not obsessing (this is cycle 3) I'm away with work for the next 2 days and then it's our wedding anniversary at the weekend so we're having a long weekend away which should take our minds of it all a little
@piglet81 sorry to hear about your miscarriage

Poptart4 · 20/09/2017 16:11

5dpo and no symptoms at all.

I'm definitely a bit more chilled about everything this month, well trying to be. I'm so impatient, hate the 2ww.

Hardheadedwoman39 · 20/09/2017 13:28

@piglet81 sorry to hear you had an early mc x

Hardheadedwoman39 · 20/09/2017 13:26

Hi @CoffeeWithMyOxygen

I totally know how you're feeling, I'm only 5 days past and I'm convinced I've had symptoms the last two days - it's made me feel like I'm making it.....

I have googled every possible symptom. It's 10 years since I was last pregnant so I'm wracking my brains as to how I felt before...

Any tips on keeping rational? Smile

Fia256 · 20/09/2017 13:10

It’s a pain isn’t it! Although I would say don’t stress too much over it. We completely missed my fertile days last month, we only dtd the night before my first opk and I didn’t ovulate till 3 days later. I still got my bfp! It ended in miscarriage but still, I was certain we were out that month but it did happen!

pixielove123 · 20/09/2017 13:08

@Fia256 oh Gosh!!! That means we'll have to continue till Sunday. If I don't get a surge tonight. Think we'll give DTD a Miss tonight Blush

Fia256 · 20/09/2017 13:02

@pixielove123 you might get it later than you think! I was convinced I’d missed it 2 months ago as was on day 15 and nothing. I think I got my positive day 16 or even 17 and then I didn’t ovulate until 48 hours after that. But my luteal phase seems to be slightly shorter at 11-12 days instead! Xx

pixielove123 · 20/09/2017 12:53

Ah sorry guys for all the symptom spotting. I feel this comes with the territory of TTC and I'm just trying to ride the wave. Easy to say that now. Not yes in TWW Confused

Anybody know if one could miss the LH surge. I have been testing daily at 5pm since CD 10. I'm on CD 15 so I could get the surge tonight or tomorrow. Starting to EWCM moving from watery CM. But just wondered if I should be testing more? Don't know if I could hold a wee twice a day for so long. Have been DTD daily since Sat so hopefully covered if I did miss the surge. Just worried about DP and my stamina to keep DTD the daily till Sun. Had planned to DTD till Fri. Grin

Fia256 · 20/09/2017 12:41

@CoffeeWithMyOxygen I’m always like this every single month without fail 😂

Even though every time I’ve ever been pregnant, I’ve always had ZERO symptoms until around 7 weeks 🤔

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 20/09/2017 11:34

Will one of you please slap me? I'm 3/4dpo and in my first ever 2ww. I thought I'd be pretty chilled out but nope - I'm symptom spotting like a loon and googling everything! Feeling little twinges which I'm pretty sure are completely normal and I wouldn't even have registered last month, whereas now it's got me googling what it could mean. This is ridiculous! DH is no help, told him about my phantom symptoms last night and he just said 'well, you never know!' YES YOU DO, DH! 3DPO IS TOO EARLY FOR IMPLANTATION!

piglet81 · 20/09/2017 10:24

Hello, can I join the bus? Just had an early mc about 6 weeks but keen to keep trying. I'm breastfeeding and only got my period back in May, and my cycles have been long since then.

Age 36
TTC no. 2 (DS is 2)
Cycle 4 (mc cycle 3)
BFP due 25/10 or thereabouts...

Good luck everyone Smile

Hardheadedwoman39 · 20/09/2017 09:44

Think I'm going mad.... I think I ovulated last Friday and we dtd that day, Monday night and yesterday afternoon I've had nausea and metallic taste and my boobs are aching. Is it possible this is related to ovulation? Taking folic acid (I started last week on Thursday) or period coming?

I've only ever had nausea like this when pregnant though Confused

Elles85 · 20/09/2017 09:42

Hi can I join the bus?

I've been trying for a long time now. It's so frustrating! I went doctors for the first time this week so fingers crossed it will help.

Cycle 23
Age 32
TTC 2
AD Due - 9/10/17

user1489822667 · 20/09/2017 09:18

stepping on

TTC #1
Cycle 2
34
AF due 30/9

Trying not to be obsessive and almost forget what we are doing....but have noticed that my boobs hurt when I am riding the horses and usually not a problem as I have modest boobicles......probably all in my head, but you can dream eh?

Positive vibes to you all this month xx

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 20/09/2017 08:59

pablo does dp know it's fw? A while back my dp had performance anxiety when ever I told him so I've stopped telling him!!

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 20/09/2017 08:58

Hi looby no I really don't think it was as that usually soaks into the tissue I believe? Whereas this was the stuff u can stretch and is like a blob of glue.

PabloEscobarlo · 20/09/2017 08:28

Thank you @felicityheather

Well I'm defo in my fertile window but dp doesn't seem to be able to preform!
