November bus

just didn’t want the disappointment of another BFN however I’ve just tested and I’ve finally got my BFP 😍

AF just turned up for me 😭 see some of you on the December bus 👋🏼

Hi @AIDE2424. I recognise you from other buses. Is there a reason you haven't tested yet? I am also keeping quiet as I think technically I'll be on the December bus as AF expected on the 1st/2nd. Just had a static smiley so need to get dtd! I don't know why but I go through so many emotions in a cycle, really wanting to get pregnant but wondering would it be better if it was next month. This month I'm fretting about not wanting an August baby but not wanting to wait in case it doesn't happen. I think I'm going crazy!

Hi, I jumped on the bus at the beginning but haven’t really posted but have been reading, but now AF is 3 days late! I daren’t test just incase😩

@realitysucks I won’t give up hope just yet then! Thanks 🙂

@ronniemipperton with my son I tested everyday from 8 dpo and got negative until 12 days dpo so fingers crossed for you x

@realitysucks yeah probably. I’m not feeling confident though, it was very much snowy white, no hint of a line. Ah well.

Congrats on the high, hope you’ve succeeded in waking up your DH 😂

@ronnoemipperton maybe too soon ?

Got my first high day on test today! Really didn’t belive it would work. Now trying to wake up DH 🙄🤣🤣

Well my 8dpo test was very definitely a bfn. I have successfully scratched the early testing itch though, will just wait for AF to turn up now.

@NoParticularPattern congratulations

I'm due AF on Saturday. No FRER in the house so I can't be tempted to test early... if AF doesn't come I'll get one next Saturday

I haven’t tested early since April so I’ve decided I’m allowed to waste one in a moment of madness this time! Plus the FRERs I bought the other day were 3 tests for the price of 2 so it’s basically a free one 🤪

Hopefully I’ll get it out of my system and go back to waiting for AF after this...

@Ronnie is so hard not too isn't it?? 😂 i am 5dpo and constantly checking FF to count down on the calender until i can test 🤪

I'm going to try and wait until at least Wednesday!

I’m considering testing tomorrow at only 8dpo. Even though I know it’s stupid and a waste of a test.

@NoParticularPattern congratulations!

@bunhead34 try to wait til midweek maybe? My af is due Thursday, I was considering testing on Sunday when I’ll be around 9dpo but thinking it may be a waste of time as it would be too early.

🎊🎊Congratz @noparticularpattern!!🎊🎊

I've been feeling cramps and back pain for the last two days.. Af may come early.. 😒😒

Is it ridiculous to do a FRER if AF is due - 1 week today?

Blood result is 6.... whatever that means 🙄
But at this stage of pregnancy they would expect it to be about 26. So it must have dropped quite dramatically.
So I'm taking yesterday as CD1 and going to carry on with my natural supplements, acupuncture and hot water bottle.
Will be interesting to see if I get LH surge this month or whether it skips to next month.

Thankyou all for your kind wishes and support. It does make a difference xx

@wishful im so sorry, gutted for you. Sending you lots of hugs ❤💐 ttc can be so cruel.

@noparticularpattern congrats my dear, so lovely to see a bfp! So exciting!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!💐💐💐

Oh @Wishful30 I’m so sorry. This ttc business is so hard.

bunhead I have no idea!! I didn’t do OPKs this month as my cycles are still all over as I’m still breastfeeding my 9mo daughter. I had a ridiculous evap two weeks ago but a FRER said no. Have tested a couple of times with ICs between then and now and got a couple of lines two days in a row so thought I’d risk a FRER and two lines came up very quickly. I’d say I’m 4 weeks, not much more- probably slightly less if anything. I’m very lucky to have conceived so quickly- this is only cycle 4 (long cycle though) since my daughter was born (exactly 40 weeks ago actually) so I’m cautiously optimistic. Today was CD43

wishful I’m glad the EPU nurses were lovely. They were all brilliant with us too last time we were in the “secret sad ladies club” as DH refers to it. Hopefully bloods will get you the all clear and you can get that appointment with your GP. Fingers crossed your GP will be helpful and they can give you some good advice. I know you said that you’d had acupuncture this cycle and I’ve heard a lot of success stories with it so it does sound like it definitely helped you out. My friend is currently 16 weeks after 4 years of trying and two failed IVF cycles (didn’t get a BFP at all either time) and the only thing she changed for the last cycle was to have acupuncture and exercise a bit more than usual- she got three times as many eggs collected as the last two goes so also has some frozen now too. She swears it was the acupuncture that gave her the boost (it was recommended by her consultant). Sending lots of love (and chocolate!!!!)

EPU were very busy but the nurse was lovely.
Too early to scan really, so I've had a urine test - clearly negative.
Just waiting on bloods to determine levels. May need to go back Sunday for more bloods.
If all ok, carry on as normal.
Very disappointed obviously, but it's spurred me on to see the gp for a fertility referral and second opinion on the private treatment I had.
Managed to actually be pregnant, naturally, so there's a light at the end of the very long tunnel and hopefully avoiding ivf 🤞🏻

@NoParticularPattern congratulations 🤞🏻 for a sticky little bean and breezing through the whole 9months xx

@NoParticularPattern congrats! How many dpo are you?
