I chose clear blue for this round to try get the hand of it. I can only think to keep following the same routine with them and see if I get a peak. Still only cycle 1 so no idea what I'm doing Grin

@Aph413 I'm no expert but I read you're not meant to use FMU on opks because it can pick up results from the day before.
I test about lunch time to start with and once I start getting faint lines I test at lunch and then when I get home at about 6pm to see if I can catch the surge (this is why I use internet cheapies not clear blue!)

isitcosimcool · 07/09/2017 10:01

I'm fully new to all this. 31 and TTC #1. Just had my implant taken out yesterday. Dr said my cycle should start in 3-4 days and to start taking folic acid right away. Also vitamin D when the nights start drawing in. Quite nervous, but excited!

loobylou124 · 07/09/2017 07:07

Joining as AF turned up overnight. Bleh.

CD 1
TTC 1
Cycle 3
Bfp due 2 October

Lots of love and luck to everyone this month! We are all amazing and we can get through this!! 😘 X

Aph413 · 06/09/2017 18:36

I keep reading conflicting things on this. Should I be using FMU with my clear blue digital ovulation tests? I've done 4 days with them following the pack instructions and had 1 low and 3 high days.
Just get the feeling I'm not doing this right

The lady that I go to for massages (on the odd occasion where I get them) has suggested reflexology which would be great, if I wasn't one week into one of those footner foot peel things! I don't think it would be fair to go to her with scabby feet so I might have to save that till next time!

Hi there,

Not sure if it's the October bus I should be on.

TTC #1
Cycle 1
Age: 33
AF due: 21st September

I very much feel like the new kid on their first day at a new school. Nervous and incredibly excited! Here we go!

juneybean · 06/09/2017 10:35

@HolyShmoly - I'm trying a place in Roker as it's closer for me... but I'll let you know how it goes Grin

PJsAndProsecco · 06/09/2017 10:15

Joining this bus as highly unlikely I'll get a BFP this month. Came off pill start of August and presuming a 28 day cycle but who knows what my body is doing Confused

CD 27 today and tested BFN. Been having PMS feelings since last Saturday which is early for me but I'm assuming the pill is screwing things up. Also been feeling nausea since Saturday but have read this can be PMS.

So holding out for AF to arrive in the next couple of days!

TTC #2
Will be cycle 2
BFP due around 4th October if my body behaves

HolyShmoly · 06/09/2017 10:07

Juney are you going to that place in Jesmond or somewhere else? Please let me know how it goes!
A guy at work has just told me his wife is pregnant and my sister has just had a beautiful baby boy so I'm feeling extra broody. Really hoping that this is our month!

I'm not officially here as having two periods in September apparently! But wanted to say I've booked some acupuncture for Saturday! Eek!

MegEmski · 06/09/2017 08:34

@holy - there are some useful & reassuring answers on the thread I posted :)

lindypops33 · 05/09/2017 22:21

I have no idea! This is the thing. I came off BC nearly 3 weeks ago. So basically been DTD ever since. I have had withdrawal bleed so just playing a waiting game. I had pains in my left side last week and I think I may have ovulated. Perhaps! I did an OPK on Sunday and it was pretty dark then it's been lighter the last 2 days. I am basically trying to work out what's going on with OPKs and just how I'm feeling really. It's not ideal.

Welcome everyone!

MegEmski, I'm not sure if I posted on your light period thread as I'm a bit concerned about this myself. I have pretty poor circulation and think it might be a problem too.

OP posts:
MegEmski · 05/09/2017 16:29

I am on the bus :)

TTC #1
Cycle 2
30 (almost 31, sob)
A/F due 04/10

will be on holiday in a safari lodge when ovulating. So fingers crossed...would be amazing place to conceive!

currently sat here grumpy with period cramps. Posted a seperate thread about conceiving with light periods after a few things I have read. Mine only last 2 days.

Hoping everyone has a positive month

Aph413 · 05/09/2017 11:22

I've also joined the September bus but I'm not hopeful so I'm joining here too so I can get some support since so have no idea what I'm doing.
Coil was removed 31st August. Ive been using my cramps as a timing method because I got them every month during coil usage when my period was due which means in theory.
Cycle #1
TTC #1
Age 26
AF due 26/9. Maybe

I've got clear blue digital ovulation tests that told me to start testing today and they are showing as high. No idea if this is the after effects of the coil or correct.

Sorry for the long post

lindypops33 · 04/09/2017 22:43

I'm gonna hop on if ok? I'm gonna be taking a test in 2 weeks but I am 99.9% sure it will be BFN as I will only have been off BC for 4 weeks and I am not that lucky! So fingers crossed for Oct for everyone!! Xx

Presh12345 · 04/09/2017 18:21

I'll jump on this bus!! AF here now so DTD all next week and hoping I'll be on the October bus!
