October Bus - More treats than tricks please!

Congratulations Meow. That's great news

I'm on holiday in Italy. AF isn't due until Tuesday but I've started spotting so looks like I'm hoping on the November bus. AF is such a bitch this month, why couldn't she have waited until I got home on Sunday? Still I shall console myself with coupious pizza and prosecco

Thank you! Husband cautiously happy tonight but I don't think either of us will believe it till I miss af... is it normal to feel like that? I'm aware that so many early pregs end in miscarriage before period even due so I think I'm mentally protecting myself with disbelief 🤔

Wow! Positive meow!! Congrats

What do we think? 😶

Not sure what's going on with my CM. We've been DTD a lot this past week or so as my app says it my fertile week, and I've never had such wet CM before! When I got to work this morning it had soaked through to my tights. Lovely.

Hi ladies! I’m new here smile

Also new to the 2ww! On honeymoon and this is our first round of TTC. AF is due in the next 3-5 days, but I’m hopeful for a successful first round as I’ve had lots of symptoms for the last week or so:

Nausea
Upset stomach
REALLY bloated
Lots of gas
Lots of clear, slippery & wet CM, now starting to turn a bit creamy...

Took a HPT yesterday morning which was BFN, am I mad to still have hope for this cycle?

Feel like I’m going a little crazy over here, so it’s nice to be able to chat to people in a similar situation.

Lots of baby dust for all those trying this month too!

Took a few test this evening (🙄) husband not convinced. Can't post here as reached limit but have posted separately. Now what do I do?!

Not yet ovulated according to CB digital but 3rd day of flashing smiley and IC had a dark line (not quite as dark as control line but not far off). DTD again tonight so now that's Tues and tonight. Making OH come home before his boys night out tomorrow to DTD again then we will do it saturday and poss sunday and hope we've caught it.

39, (OH 34), no kids, MMC end August at almost 10 weeks though got pg first go. Desperately wanting this before we are out of time.

10dpo here and symptom-spotting with a vengeance! Have gone off chocolate and everyone seems to be bathing in their perfume at work, like last time, so am cautiously optimistic.

Have also taken some standard tests early, fairly pointless I know.

Good luck to everyone testing this week

I’ve just started TWW. Trying not to get hopes up (even though FF gave me a gold star for shagging this month 😇).

But ovulated overnight between CD11 and CD12. Borderline too short follicular phase (although period started mid afternoon on CD-1 so maybe not so bad).

Entering serious hopeful twat territory

AF was due this morning but no sign as yet. Hopes up but BBT now below the cover line so chances slim, I know!! Pretty sure I am on to the November bus....

Afternoon everybody, @Aridia, sorry about this month, but best of luck for November, and to any of the ladies who are hopping on that bus too x. I'm 9dpo here, and just feeling so up and down it's crazy, am googling like mad here, doing that symptom spotting that everyone talks about. I was cold yesterday, found a thread online about how feeling cold was a sign, and that was it, nearly had the maternity jeans out of storage . I don't think I was this crazy when TTC no.1! This is our first cycle TTC no.2, so I know it is early days. I'm dying to test, but it's way too early. Will see how things go over wkend.

Sad to say I have fallen off the October bus 😞

AF arrived yesterday and today is pretty heavy so I doubt it's implantation bleeding. Still feel nauseous though not fair!

Good luck to everyone still on the bus

Thank you for all the kind words and advice all! You've been fab! And good luck to all still on the bus!
Unfortunately, I'm officially out now. AF arrived with a vengeance in the early hours, deciding I didn't need to sleep so mammoth cramps instead :(
Still, on to the next cycle! In the best possible way, I hope to not see many of you on the November bus! Good luck!!!

Morning!

I'm still on the bus but not sure how long for... I think I may have ovulated slightly later than I expected so I thought I was around 16DPO today but am actually slightly less than that... was expecting AF on Monday and no sign yet. I'm going to test on Saturday if she doesn't arrive before then.

Feeling down today 😞

Realised that because of my dates I'm still on the October bus despite getting a BFN at the very beginning! My period was actually early so when I input it on Clue it adjusted the ovulation prediction back to a few days before we started trying last month, so no wonder! In my fertile week now so thoroughly on the wagon again!

Hi all, new to this board and this conception lark! First month TTC baby number one, I'm 30 and hubby is 32. Not 100% sure when I o'd but think it was probably Sunday 8th based on CM and a few twinges, AF is due on the 23rd. We DTD on 7th and a few days before but I don't think we've done it enough tbh, however I don't want to be nagging DH too much at this early stage! I've had regular 29 day cycles for years and not been on the pill since I was a teen. I've been extra moody since the weekend and a bit down which is unusal until the week before AF, but could be because of the dark mornings and evenings now which always gets me down a tad. I have a small hope of catching first time but I know it's not likely... Won't stop me getting a bit obsessed over it though! Glad to have these boards as an outlet and to read all you ladies stories ☺️ best of luck to all this month!

@81Josie I had a high on CBADM in the morning last Monday, then it was peak that evening. I also did IC (line) opks )which I was going to give up on initially) which confirmed the peak reading. Sadly it doesn't appear to have worked for us this month.

Oh flat I'm sorry to here your story and really hope you get that BFP very soon

Does anyone have any advice re the CBADM? I'm on day 22 and it's still saying high. I have a feeling it's going to ask me for three more tests until I have finished the box of 20. I go on holiday tomorrow for 3 nights and don't really want to take the machine or be peeing on sticks. I've had enough and could do with the break

DH says I should or else it will ruin the data for future cycles. What do you all think? I normally have 26-28 day cycles so more likely to see AF than a peak while I'm away and we tend to DTD lots on holiday anyway

Thanks @coastalchick. Back at you.

The only thing that'll lift me out of this black hole is being pregnant again. I really don't believe in the more fertile after Miscarriage thing though.

7 dpo - last time I had symptoms by this point. I have absolutely none, and my temp was 36.5. I'm out.

flat I have everything crossed for you - you totally deserve to be happy again x

Got flashing smiley this morning and we DTD earlier this evening. Planning on doing it every night until think have ovulated. According to app (and previous cycles) I am due to ovulate saturday but had a MC at end august so could be different, or maybe not at all! Will be tested FRER around 25th as last time got a BFP 11 dpo but not holding out much hope.

Flatwhite 31 6 days is very early! Don't give up hope!

Just did a FR test and got a BFN. Am due AF on Sunday so have tested early but it looks like I'm out in all likelihood. Particularly as I have super sore boobs so I think it must be a AF sign instead. Balls

Ladies can I join?! I'm 3dpo and going out of my mind. This 2ww is horrendous. Constantly trying to spot symptoms. Already want to test, how daft at 3dpo! I need to be more patient!

I'm 99.999999% sure I'm out. 6 dpo and not a single symptom. I feel like I have no hormones in my body whatsoever. Something isn't right since my MMC, and my anxiety is through the roof. Gutted doesn't even come close. My birthday next week is now cancelled, as it'll coincide with me getting my period, and what should have been our 20 week scan.
