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.

@CoffeeWithMyOxygen it's so hard isn't it my mind is just going crazy, every time I go for a wee I am desperate for a little sign that something is different! A little implantation spotting would be lovely right now! 😂

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 21/10/2017 10:48

@lgh05 looks like we’ll be testing at the same time - think I ovulated on the 12th. I stupidly tested at 8dpo and obviously got a BFN so am sitting on my hands until the 27th now!

lgh05 · 21/10/2017 10:16

I hope it's okay me jumping on here! It's my first post but have spent many hours reading through different threads.

Age 26
TTC #2
1st cycle
BFP due 27/10/17

I got pregnant first time with our daughter (nearly 4 Years old) and husband has wanted to try from another for years but I wasn't ready, then late September I 100% knew I was ready and have now been obsessing about praying I am pregnant, it's like someone just turned a twitch in me.

I ovulated (apparently) on the 13th (I have a very regular 28 day cycle) and DTD every other day, so just hoping and waiting! So just debating when to test, from memory I think I tested a day or two before AF was due with my daughter and got my BFP but after reading about chemical pregnancy I am bit unsure when to test.

@Mandala23 maybe leave it two days and try again? I had a positive then a negative with my last pregnancy and he’s two now!

GotADolly · 21/10/2017 09:27

Did another one today. I bled a bit this morning so I’m panicked

Congrats @GotADolly and @Mandala23 ! Xx

GotADolly · 20/10/2017 23:02

@Mandala23 yes definitely! Congratulations!

Mandala23 · 20/10/2017 22:41

Hello, hope you don't mind if I join in! Better late than never :) not really sure where in my cycle I am completely (one bleed was a possible period but maybe a breakthrough bleed, one bleed could have been spotting or an actual really light period) but either way I'm definitely now late for af! Thinking it was probs due yesterday. Took this this evening with very dilute pee - anyone see anything?

Hello. Sorry I’ve not been around for ages. We were on holiday, and then my son got croup and ear infections (both ears at once!) so it’s been a bit mad here. However on 11th time of trying I got this today!!

I cracked and did a test. Of course it was negative, I’m only 8dpo so even if there is a baby it most likely wouldn’t show yet. What a waste of a test!

coastalchick · 19/10/2017 19:58

4-5 dpo. Still no symptoms (last time was tingly nips). Suspect not pregnant. Hate the TWW. Want to go out for dinner and drinks with OH tomorrow to our favourite italian where we regularly while away the night with 2 lovely bottles of red wine. But no, can't tomorrow in case am pg. You'd think they'd invent a test which could tell us earlier!!!!!

Flatwhite31 · 19/10/2017 17:20

Am having hormone blood tests done next week, as my body still doesn't feel back to normal. It feels like I've got no hormones, as I got no symptoms before my period and my period was only 2 days.

Gem173 · 19/10/2017 14:28

@PineapplePrincess I understand how you feel about feeling crazy. I feel abit fed up and it's only my first cycle on baby number 1! Hopefully that rainbow brings you good luck! I just feel like sleeping for months on end!

Hello later comer here! Hope you don’t mind me joining in. Stats as follows...

Cycle: 8 after MMC in February
Age: 41
TTC: #2
BFP Due: 24th October (I think)

Last couple of months I’ve gone with the laid back approach. Last month I was abroad on holiday, so no charting, ovulation tests and no pregnancy tests. Thought not stressing would maybe give me a positive result. But to no avail.

This month no charting or ovulation tests but am agonising over taking a pregnancy test despite only being 9dpo. Aaargggh!?!

On the plus side I have seen four rainbows this month, one of which was a double rainbow!?! That must mean this is the month right???

Yes okay, I think this TTC malarkey is driving me la-la-loopsy!

Fia256 · 19/10/2017 13:33

I’m back on this thread for a second time!

BFN right at the start of the month, and while af is due start of Nov, I’m going to test from 9/10dpo which is the last few days of the month! Fingers crossed for second time lucky in what seems to be quite a lucky thread!

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 19/10/2017 12:17

Oh, @Flatwhite31 Sad Lots of Flowers and un-Mumsnetty hugs for you.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 19/10/2017 12:15

I'm annoying myself now. I'm about 6/7dpo (based on my app and CM) and was copiously sick last night. Naturally this was in no way caused by something I ate - noooo, it has to be baby related! Stupid brain. I mean, I know that it's possible to have implantation at around the 6dpo mark but I'd be surprised if it could cause proper Linda Blair-esque vomiting. It's the hope that kills you, isn't it?

ArtemisBean · 19/10/2017 11:02

I'm 4dpo today and have the worst boob ache of my life. No idea what's going on. I've never had it like this before. Feels like a whole village of clog dancers have set up camp inside my breasts! Anyone else had a weird day like this?

Flatwhite31 · 18/10/2017 19:56

It is @Merrz. I should be 20 weeks today. It's so so hard. I'm not one of these people that falls pregnant straight away either.

Gem173 · 18/10/2017 19:55

@60sname wow I'm trying to wait till 14dpo, got a lonnggg wait

60sname · 18/10/2017 19:35

Thanks Gem173!

I think I am 16dpo, AF was due today. Got a much better line than Monday

Gem173 · 18/10/2017 17:03

@60sname congrats ! How many dpo are you?

60sname · 18/10/2017 17:00

Bfp here Smile

Let's see what happens...
