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

@felicityheather this is as good as I could do! When do you reckon I should test again? Boobs def more sore now and been having weird pelvic twinges.

Unfortunately I can't see because the dye has gone across the strip @felicityheather. Fingers crossed for you! X

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 21:42

I'm not sure @Mandala23 ... can you send a more zoomed in photo?

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 21:38

Well that's typical lol!!

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 21:38

Pictures won't post. 😔 I guess I'll just have to wait and repost tomorrow!!

Ok... just did another test as I would have been so excited to have our BFP on our anniversary. I promised I wouldn't do this but I'm gonna post a pic and see what you think. The dye isn't running back but I think I see two lines...???? Going insane. Hoping to put it out of my head and get some sleep but would love any thoughts people have?

Mandala23 · 22/10/2017 19:51

Done another test....nothing there. Ergh. Losing hope now.

Well I'm out Cake AF showed yesterday but tbh I was expecting her as I never got a positive opk and we never dtd nearly enough in the first half of my cycle.. will catch the next bus ! Grin

Mandala23 · 22/10/2017 11:24

@GotADolly I’ve heard spotting early on is fairly normal - maybe give 111 a ring for some advice?
I’m gonna do another test later on today I think - been having weird electric shock feelings behind my belly button and boobs are a little tender today which I never get even with af!

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 10:47

That makes lots of sense too! I know I'd be ridiculously upset if it happened. I just think I'd rather know a little more!

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 09:59

@felicityheather yeah totally makes sense I am just weight up the pros and cons for knowing verses no knowing!

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 09:54

Yeah, I am, but I've had so many issues getting to the point where I'm even ovulating, I think in a way I'd be glad to know I could get pregnant even if it didn't stick. I'm a bit of a data geek so the more I know, the calmer I feel.

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 09:45

@felicityheather happy anniversary by the way! When you test early are you not scared that if you get a BFP it could be a chemical. This is the only thing putting me off testing, but don't know enough about it!

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 09:42

@lgh05 nothing today, but no Aunt Flo either.

@GotADolly glad it's settled down! X

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 08:19

@felicityheather good luck! Let us know how you get on!

GotADolly · 22/10/2017 07:55

@felicityheather I’ve had clots last night, just once. Now back to light bleeding.

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 07:54

@lgh05 & @CoffeeWithMyOxygen I think I ovulated on the 12th. I've been using internet cheapie tests because I can't not test.

Today is our first wedding anniversary and I keep imagining we get our BFP today but I think it's unlikely. Oh well, a girl can dream!

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 07:52

@Mandala23 I'm sure a little jumping won't do any harm. :). Xx

felicityheather · 22/10/2017 07:51

@GotADolly I think bleeding is fairly normal as long as it's not much in comparison to your periods. Xx

Hi everyone, late to the party!

Age: 26
TTC: #1
Cycle: 2

OH and I have been off the pill since March to "see what happens," so my stats aren't exactly accurate!

We decided to make a proper go of it (Getting an app and tracking ovulation) this time round. I got stupidly excited as I was four days late... then AF appeared. I don't think I was prepared to feel quite so disappointed. Any way! Always next time!

Congrats to all the ladies with BFP's Smile Exciting times ahead!

Justoneme · 21/10/2017 19:01

Right day 5 of cycle so I will be peeing on a stick everyday...

GotADolly · 21/10/2017 18:57

I should add, I also have sore boobs and felt sick this morning.

GotADolly · 21/10/2017 18:56

I need reassurance or a reality check please. Got BFP yesterday. Did another test today, got a much darker result. Woke up this morning to bleeding, started pink then went brown, not a lot, eg not as much as a normal period. I’ve had miscarriages before so I’d say it’s not that. I also have heavy periods so I know it’s not that either. What’s going on?!

Mandala23 · 21/10/2017 18:41

Oh god so sorry @GotADolly I completely scrolled past your post! Hope you’re doing okay - has the bleeding stopped now? That looks like a great BFP to me! :)

Mandala23 · 21/10/2017 18:40

Ahh thank you @GotADolly that gives me hope! So hard to keep waiting though haha!
I was sooo stupid today it was a family members birthday party and I ended up bouncing on a trampoline before my brain went WHAT ARE YOU DOING and I got off. Worried I’ve affected things now :(
