End of September bus

@Tamalama wrote that before your update but it's only just posted now! Sorry to hear about your trip to the docs 🙈

@Tamalama hope you feel better soon!

AF due tomorrow for me! Don't think I really have any symptoms although I'm imagining plenty! Just feel exhausted but that could be life causing that. My head's a mess 😂

So I went to the doctor this morning and I've got a viral infection. She prescribed an antibacterial mouthwash and 600mg ibuprofen. I explained I'm in my fertile window and she said if I take these meds then it may result in an early miscarriage if I do get pregnant this month 😕

@Sophieb15
@sgholly

I’ll be joining you on that bus tomorrow.

I’m out 2. AF arrived 2 days early 😓

@Tamalama I knew it was coming anyway so not surprised. Going to try AC this month if anything it will Help my PMS 🤞🏼

@Sunflower2019 did you take another test this morning? X

Thank you @Sophieb15 I'm sorry to hear that af has got you 😕☹️ I'm also on the October bus xx

@Tamalama you poor thing I hope you feel better soon x

AF arrived right on time for me this morning on to the October bus 🚌 x

I woke up this morning with lots of cm, did an opk and got a flashing smiley. However, I feel like absolute shit! My infection has got worse, I have a temperature, etc, so I'm off to see the emergency doctor. Which means I totally don't feel like dtd 😕☹️

Hope you feel better @Tamalama!
It’s so horrible feeling like you are missing out by not dtd even though you 100% don’t even want to do it.

Lots of cm for me today but I don't know if that's because I have a gland and throat infection, which can cause more mucus in general, I believe 🤷‍♀️ no dtd for me tonight I feel like absolute shit 😭

@Sunflower2019 I can see a line without even zooming in but like you say it’s very faint. As we know though the only reason for it to be coloured is presence of HCG so looking really good for you!

I stupidly wasted a test today which was of course a BFN as only 6dpo at most. But what can I say I’m addicted to POAS!

@MrsLEB deffo looks like a positive opk to me! Better get DTD!

Sorry to those thinking AF is just around the corner. Keeping my fingers crossed for you it isn't.

4dpofor me, just a waiting game now. If I'm out this month that's me done till November as I'm away next month during my fertile window. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself but know I will be gutted if AF shows next week.

Does anyone else find their mood/attitude to TTC varies over the cycle? First week or so after AF I'm so depressed, really gutted. Then I seem to veer from being really positive to feeling like it'll never happen, then AF shows up and I realise I was expecting to be pregnant and I feel depressed again.. it just really messes with my head!!

This month I've been trying vitamin B to help with my short luteal phase. If AF gets me it'll be onto cycle 5 and I might try Agnus caster next month as well, as my periods are so irregular (last three months have ov on CD 19, 21 and 24, but cycle before that was only 19 days in total and I wasn't temping then so no idea when I ov'd). I don't drink much (maybe once a month) so don't need to cut that out but may look at my diet. I exercise a lot so am ok weight wise, but I'm not that slim as I eat too much sugar and have a bit of a belly - all my fat goes on my middle.

@Sunflower2019 there's definitely a line there, but it is obviously a faint one! Could you have ovulated later then usual? How long did you hold your wee before this test? I read that if your testing before AF is late it should always be your first wee, if after it can be during the day! I agree, I would test again in the morning :)
It is looking good though! I remember your post about the bleed! I'll keep it all crossed for you :)

Here's a pic

Omg so I'm actually ovulating today (i think!) it's a much darker line than earlier in my cycle (I heard you do produce low levels of the hormone all the time so it sometimes shows up!) I'm excited as this is the first time in months I've managed to get such a dark line. So this means I haven't already ovulated but I'm about to, right?!!

@Sunflower2019 fingers crossed 🤞

@Sophieb15 I’m also going to try and keep an eye on my diet - I eat crap second half of cycle

I’m also going to cut the alcohol I think too unless I’m going out/celebrate birthday etc

@mumofbun thank you! I didn’t actually pee on it long enough as it took so long for lines to appear.. have bought some cheap tests (simple) look identical to frer so will
Test again :) x

@Sunflower2019 i can def see a line!! i wouldn't worry about the darkeness of it as that depends on the concentration of your urine i guess. Do another first thing - also don't pee directly on if you struggle with that, collect and dip x

@wannabemum38 sorry to hear that 😫 good luck with the next cycle!

@Sophieb15 I guess it should but I heard it can take 3/4 days to show on a test once implantation occurs and yesterday it was stark white! Plus I don’t think I peed on it correctly.. guess it’s a waiting game 😊

@sunflower2019 I feel it should be darker with an implantation bleed 4 days ago. All you can do is wait until tomorrow and test again with FMU and hopefully it has gotten darker. Fingers crossed for you x

Think I'm out for this month AF due tomorrow and had a slight pink spotting this morning 😭
