November Bus - testing first week of November 2019

@Sophieb15 yes that's true! X

Hi all I'll join in too.
AF due 4th November
4DPO today

Feeling a bit bloated today which is odd!

I’m testing on the 3rd of november if no AF. 🙂 I’m determined to not test earlier as I’ll just keep confirming it anyway 😆
what about you?

Anyone else find that they are positive from af to ov and then once tww starts they turn into a psycho? I am 4dpo and I am so bloated today with trapped wind. Every month I symptom spot I don't know why I do it to myself it's so hard to relax and forget. When's everyone testing?

@sophieb15 yes I used opks and bbt to pinpoint ovulation. Still feel really crampy today 🙁 it’s way too early for anything pregnancy related so I’m just hoping nothing is wrong.

I'm really hoping it's 10th cycle lucky for us both 🍀 💕
I am CD 11, started opk yesterday obvs both negative, but I did ov early last cycle. I'm working tonight but told DH we will have a busy weekend 😂😉 xx

@Peachyx2505 I knew I wasn't anyway and would have been freaked over the Clot if it was Implantation. CD 5 today going to be positive even though I know If I do have Endo it is going to take longer. Will DTD as much as we can and hope for the best.

Where are you in your cycle now? x

@Sophieb15 sorry lovely xx

@jemx I am having left side pelvis/hip pain. It’s not bad, it’s just making me aware of the area or something. Trying not to overthink it!

@Nic555 thanks so much, I feel much more positive after speaking with lovely ladies on here today and also been googling all day and as you say it seems to not mean as much as the other stars. So my DH said the doctor said keep trying for another 6 months and we need to relax as the adrenaline from stressing can prevent your body from allowing it. He asked her directly if we would likely need ivf and she said definitely not it's all down to chance and with both our results we should definitely conceive naturally. But I worry about advice from NHS doctors as I feel they must have a secret agenda to shorten that ivf waiting list.

In my head I'm giving it another 3 months (so till January) and then I'm going back in to try and get referred. Although it's nice to have good results back it is also very frustrating to not have an answer as to why it's not happening.

I've got my fingers crossed for you this month and all the other lovely ladies xxxx

@Nic555 thank you 😊 it definitely feels like a positive step in the right direction! You're right I need to try not to compare - need to sort out some distractions!

@Tamalama I'm good I knew anyway but just wanted to be sure. I might O early this month since I'd a very short AF. Xx

@Nic555 ah okay, that's good to know! So annoying how many tricks your body plays on you 😂

@Sophieb15 I'm sorry to hear that but I guess at least you know for sure. I hope you're ok x

@MeganMama28 really pleased that you have ovulated that's great. I wouldn't compare this TWW to your last pregnancy. Honestly every pregnancy is different and you're never out till AF shows xx

@jemx its so frustrating not knowing isn't it. I had the positive OPK the day before the pain though. The day of the pain the OPK was showing negative again as the LH surge doesn't last long in some people. It peaks and then dips again x

@Maisy24

Sorry to hear Af is on her way how you feeling? I'm no expert but I have spent hours trawling through threads on here and I think the doctors absolutely right. I've read that the morphology isn't an issue if your sperm count is above average and your DH is way above average. I think it's only an issue if you have a low sperm count. My OH takes vitamen you get it off amazon which is meant to improve sperm quality so may be worth a try but I'd be happy with them results.

How long have they told you to keep trying for?

X

@Nic555 that's interesting. I did an OPK today but it was negative so don't know what to think!

@jemx could be implantation pain or maybe ovulation pains. I don't trust the ovia app as I've only just come off the pill in June cycles vary so it can be a bit off when calculating ovulation. I had a similar pain to that on just one side of my lower stomach the day after my positive OPK so took it as potential ovulation pain. But God knows I could have actually just been imagining it all x

@gee1235 the CB say to use the urine after your longest sleep so I imagine it'll still work if you do shifts. X

So I'm going to cave and test two days early. AF is due on 4th but I'm at a wedding on 2nd. Figured I could do an early First Response on the morning then I'll know whether I can enjoy the free wine or not.

Swore I wouldn't test early again and get my hopes up but would hate to test 2 days later get a BFP and then be thinking oh sugar I had a skin full on Saturday night. (Fully aware I could just go to the wedding and not drink but let's be realistic here)

@12goldstars I normally get EWCM leading up to O then it goes more watery days after O

@Tamalama BFN as suspected but handy just in case

For those of you that are using ovulation tests, how do these compare to cm? I have had increased cm since Sunday but then lots of ewcm earlier today. It’s stopped now. Does ewcm tie in with ovulation day? I’m hoping it means i ovulated today.

@CooperLooper I know, I've spent more time on Google than I'd care to think about!! I had a funny taste in my mouth Sunday/Monday and was off my food, been feeling really tired etc. I do wonder if I'm just making symptoms up sometimes though..

@jemx possibly, I read that implantation is usually 6 DPO thereabouts so you never know.

Symptom spotting when you're trying to conceive is properly messing around with me! Today I got a metallic taste in my mouth and then spent 15 mins online googling 'am I pregnant?' Probably not pregnant but definitely losing the plot 😂
