TTC October 2020 Bus

@Sunflowers81 - fingers crossed for you! It’s so difficult when your cycle plays havoc with you and you’re not sure what’s going on. Sounds like you’re very much still in the running though

@PurplePops - I normally have AF exactly 12 days after I ovulate so even when I ovulate on day 19/20 my cycle isn’t longer than 31/32 days. Hopefully the same is for you and your cycle isn’t
too long!

@Theawkwardblonde sorry to hear you’re in limbo 🥴 this whole TTC malarkey is a bit of a head - you know what!

I’m definitely on the Nov bus now. On CD 7 of cycle #7 so fingers crossed it’s a lucky month!! 🤞 x

Thank you @SarahMumof1DS xx

Sorry @Lemongrass9 and @Flittingaboutagain It is always so disheartening when AF arrives. Here's to November x

@Sunflowers81 sounds like you are still in the run and it's good you are keeping busy. Fingers crossed for you :)

@gracie2307 Hi Gracie! Happy to hear you are feeling better and you deserved that drink :) Hope you are having a lovely day.
Funny thing with my OPKs, I never test on the 1st day of my fertile window and decided to test early given what happened last month. Yesterday I got the solid O but today a Flashing Smiley. Will be interesting to see how long I get this for but yes should be ovulating on Sunday so positive on Sat would have thought. Also first signs of CM! Things are happening so in a very good mood today despite insomnia last night. BTW decided to ditch the tea and for my caffeine hit, half a teaspoon of regular coffee mixed with decaff. So far no problems :) xx

@SarahMumof1DS I hope he's recovering okay. Just take it easy and do what's right for both of you. It sounds like you have a good relationship and will take the time to discuss what you both want.

My period still hasn't arrived so now I'm thinking I may be having a longer cycle like last month. Why on earth have they started being longer 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ either way can't POAS to check as Royal Mail lost my Amazon prime delivery today that had some tests to check. I'm not optimistic at all. More just concerned with the red spotting on Sunday and now no AF.

Just had my first positive OPK and according to premom its peak! So relieved but I am on CD19, does this mean I'm likely to have a really long cycle?

@Lemongrass9 I'm so sorry to hear that, it seems so mean that AF hits us with a vengeance when we didn't want her at all. I hope you feel better soon. Feeling better when she comes does make a lot of sense, when AF comes at least you know what is what.

@Farfaraway1 there is still a chance! Sending baby dust!

@SarahMumof1DS Glad to hear you are feeling better. I hope your chat with DS goes well.

@Flittingaboutagain I'm sorry to hear that, take good care of yourself and I hope you feel better.

I'm in limbo at the moment, my last few cycles were 28 days, 21 days and then 26. I'm now on day 29, had the tiniest trace of spotting on Monday this week (thought I was out and af was coming), and strange stabbing / aching pains in my uterus the last week or so, plus cramps which I feel in my thighs. Weird I know but that's where I've always felt it. But no a/f and no positive test.
I'm getting anxious because when I had a miscarriage in march, a positive test took 2 weeks after af due date to show, and then the little egg sac never developed any further and I sadly had a miscarriage. Maybe af is late because I'm stressing?
I'm trying to keep busy, going to work, going to the gym, and will see what happens. So, so glad to have this place to talk to you all.

Had been staying optimistic but then just had a 9 day period instead of my pre miscarriage usual 4. Guess my body still hasn't recovered from August. Onto next time.

Morning ladies

@SunnydazeQ Hope you are all good. Hopefully your OPK should turn positive over the next few days - did you see any light second lines? Thank you, I am feeling better today, had a cheeky glass of wine last night, because it was Tuesday and thought why not

@Lemongrass9 I know what you mean! At least when AF arrives you know definitively what the result is and can move on and start planning for the next month, rather than being in limbo and the ‘what if’s’ xx

@SarahMumof1DS thanks hun 😘 AF due here on Monday! It is hard to keep positive, especially when symptoms start fading ☹️ One blessing is in travelling (no lockdown or anything where I live) to visit my sister & dad tomorrow with my two boys And will be away for 5 nights so that will help take my mind off everything, and will be great to have a few drinks with my sister! 💖 good luck, keep me posted with how you get on xx

Thank you @Farfaraway1 @SarahMumof1DS @PurplePops

I’m actually feeling really okay about it...I’ve decided that I find AF starting much less disheartening than BFNs so hoping that will stop me testing too early going forward.

Treating myself to a slow day today, going to have some chocolate and wine this evening🍫🍷.

I really hope you’ll get your BFPs this month xx

@Lemongrass9 aww sorry to hear that, I'm pretty sure ill be on the bus with you next month too! Xx

@Emc16x how are you getting on? I saw a notification that you had tagged me a few days ago but couldn't find it so apologies, my brain is a bit blah at the moment.

@SunnydazeQ thanks for the kind words.
@gracie2307 thanks! I've actually started taking vitamin d this last month and some other multivitamins to boost my immunity.

@SarahMumof1DS I'm not optimistic. I started taking the seven seas TTC vitamin (folic acid) and gave heard that can wreak havoc on your cycle. Im still feeling nauseous and I'm so tired. Boobs huge and tender too, but again that's normal for me pre AF. Due today. Hoping it's not going to be another late one like last month. Goodness knows what my spotting was, it definitely was too light to be a period. Hope you're feeling better after your funny tum! Do you think you're in with a chance? When are you due AF?

Pretty sure I’m out ladies - just tested again (it’s Wednesday afternoon here) and BFN. 😒 App is saying I’m around 11dpo but most likely I’m more than that as I’m pretty sure I ovulated early this cycle so would expect to see a result by now? Or am I being defetist?

@SunnydazeQ thank you! not getting my hopes up but I guess only time will tell.... 😕

@Lemongrass9 sorry to hear that ☹️ I will see you on the bus next month I’m pretty sure!!

I’m out...AF has woken me up with some serious cramps so it’s a sleepless night of hot water bottle, painkillers, and Netflix for me.
Sending positive vibes for anyone testing in the next few days 😊

@Theawkwardblonde happy to hear you and your other half are in a better place. Men are definitely geared up differently from us and TTC puts that extra strain on us which they don't get. Don't think my husband has read up or watched a single video about having a baby. 🙈😄 Hoping you get your BFP soon xx

@BuildingThings thank you!! Not too bad today with the tea. Little headache but it disappeared this evening so will do tea again tomorrow morning. X

@gracie2307 I am well thank you! Negative OPK this morning which I expected. Should ovulate at the weekend but as last month was weird due to early miscarriage decided to to test earlier in my FW. Hope your AF pains have subsided and you're taking advantage of the timing with a drink or 2 😊

@Farfaraway1 @SarahMumof1DS and @Emc16x sending positive vibes and baby dust your way for BFPs in the next few days when you test 🤞x
