Grab your seats on the September bus (though I know there are a few of us still testing in August).

Absolutely everyone welcome - I'll attempt a list of tags for "reserved seats" but am guaranteed to have missed quite a few:

@BrownEyedSquirrel good luck hope it works out for you.
Lots of BFP coming through, great to see.
I'm cd 22 and still no peak 🙄

BrownEyedSquirrel · 27/09/2021 13:19

I was so convinced this would be my month. Nausea, migraine, cramps on one side... well woke up to AF in full flow! Only 9dpo so my luteal phase is too short, which I'm guessing is because my 1 year old is still nursing a lot. Going to try and night wean this month to see if it helps. Wish me luck!

mummytoolive · 27/09/2021 11:28

Congratulations @LadyoftheWoods ❤️❤️❤️

@GingerFox2021

Sorry for the delayed reply! Ahh well our first borns must be the same age as I was around 8 weeks by the end of Sept 2018 too!

Still nothing to report here other than a few BFN’s but I expected them to be as I’m not due on until Oct 2nd! I did have some yellow discharge the other day and I read online that it’s a sign of fertilisation. Not getting my hopes up though and just trying to chill. Still only just figured out how all this conception stuff really works 😅 so if I’m not pregnant this month I think we’ll have a better shot next month. And at least it’s fun trying haha!

hoola23 · 27/09/2021 07:45

Just caught up, exciting to see lots of BFP!! I got mine right at the beginning of sep but turned into a chemical sadly so I need to rejoin but my dates mean I need an October bus!! Just finished ovulation and I'm having a 3 week wait as I refuse to ever test early again after the chemical! I'll test once AF is a week late. I'm ok about it, after trying for 12 months i was glad to just be able to know I can conceive

Dobcaty · 27/09/2021 07:15

@LadyoftheWoods 🥳🥳🥳 congratulations! How amazing!

LadyoftheWoods · 27/09/2021 06:53

Morning everyone, pretty sure this is positive right? I'm either 10/11dpo... Couldn't wait anymore!

Toot toot! The September bus is early...
Dobcaty · 26/09/2021 13:03

@positiveovernegative thanks for asking. No, sometimes something plants in my mind and I can't even think anything else..it was bfn this morning so I guess I will join to the October bus...interesting that I'm not that emotional than the last couple of bfn cycles...just felt nothing, looks like I got use to it. I always had plan what we do differently in the next one but not now. I know I'm not out until af shows her ugly face, but all of my symptoms disappeared this morning, no sore boobs, no more discomfort belly feeling...nothing. Didn't tell my DH and I was even thinking to not call my clinic when my period start... probably this is just another deep point and I will shake it off very soon and see again the world with all of its wonderful things in it

How are you doing? Xx

positiveovernegative · 26/09/2021 11:35

@Dobcaty have you managed to stay strong?

@Lianna93 so sorry your AF came and so early. Lots of love to you!

Second day of flashing smiley today. Hoping to dtd today as was out all day yesterday so we didn't manage to 👎🏽 hoping static smiley comes tomorrow 🤞🏽

LadyoftheWoods · 25/09/2021 22:32

@Lianna93 oh I'm so sorry to hear that 😞 that really sucks. I'm usually ~30 days but last month af arrived on cd27 so I understand what that feels like. Definitely look after yourself and have some me time. Xx

Lianna93 · 25/09/2021 21:52

I'm out 😞
The light bleed I had last night stopped & then around dinner time it started again & that's it now a full on bleed 😞
Means this has been the shortest cycle I've ever had at 26 days - when on average I'm 32 days. I've seen me skip months completely but I've never been early.
I'm so gutted.

Lianna93 · 25/09/2021 13:21

@Capricorn8990 I'm genuinely terrified that all this is an indication of an early period - which would definitely be out of the norm for me. I'm checking everytime I go to the loo & so far nothing else has came. I've got a lot of abdominal pain as well as a pinching feeling but it's hard to pinpoint what's my ibs & what's not.

Capricorn8990 · 25/09/2021 13:14

@Lianna93 your symptoms sound promising though I have read that progesterone symptoms are very similar to pregnancy ones so I try my hardest not to associate any symptoms to pregnancy but it's so hard isn't it!! Xx

Dobcaty · 25/09/2021 12:14

I have the dilemma again to test or not test...bought a FRER test this morning, sitting in my bag and it is staring at me 🙈 Where is my will power?

positiveovernegative · 25/09/2021 10:48

Flashing smiley face this morning 🙌🏻 felt like I needed to celebrate 💃🏼😆

Lianna93 · 25/09/2021 09:01

Sorry - below comment was me. Forgot to change my username back 🙈

Lia9 · 25/09/2021 08:59

@Mummytobe93 Sorry to hear that - hopefully next month for you 🤞🏻x

@LadyoftheWoods the 'bleed' has completely stopped. I had a dull ache most of the night, which has also stopped. Im still majorly bloated but my ibs is now going to the opposite side of things & I now need the loo constantly! 🙈😂
Aw no, that's rotten you've gotten a cold -
Dunno about anyone else but I haven't been sick with a cold since March last year, dreading getting one lol! Hopefully yours isn't too bad and not symptom spotting will end in a BFP for you! 🤞🏻x

Dhdvl · 25/09/2021 08:59

Good morning ladies, I’m probably only going to be on here for a few days then have to join the October bus, it’s been lovely reading your stories and generally reading the chit chat and it’s been so lovely to see the bfps, I’m 42 soon to be 43 in a few months, I have a ds who is 7 and we were trying for a number 2 I had a miscarriage in 2018 which devastated me and put me off sex, it was our 9th anniversary a few weeks ago and our son had his first sleepover at his friends we went out for a romantic dinner and had some champagne 🍾 afterwards and dtd I ovulated a day or two after and have been feeling nauseous for over a week, been having some vivid dreams, have turned down various takeaways as I’ve lost my appetite due to the nauseous, I think I wiped some brown blood on Thursday I was at work and had to rush to my shift, the day before I had a sharp feeling in the right side of my lower abdomen, I honestly don’t know what to think although I think I’m due Sunday or Monday, woke up today still feeling nauseous with that extra saliva feeling in my mouth but my hips are hurting aching like they would before a period I have endometriosis so this is normal for me, I’m too scared to test and want to wait for period to come or by some miracle not. I’m sorry this is soooo long

LadyoftheWoods · 25/09/2021 08:25

@Lianna93 oooh good luck!! Really hoping that's a good sign! I've been really bloated too but I can't really symptom spot this month because I have an awful cold!! 😭 It's knocked my bbt off and I can't sleep because I'm so bunged up. Maybe it's a good thing though, stopping me go too mad!

Mummytobe93 · 25/09/2021 05:53

AF showed up this morning so I’m out of the September bus and on to the Lucky October🍀

I wish you all a BFP ✨

Lianna93 · 25/09/2021 00:55

Ladies- I know I've been saying to you all I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but I'm lying in bed reading a book & whilst I'm reading it I feel a slight cramp & a 'wet' feeling.
I've ignored.
I've finished my book & went to the toilet before bed & I know this is probably tmi but I've wiped & I've came away with brown discharge.
My period isn't due for another week, I'm never early. I'm on CD27 & I've never had a 28 day cycle and I don't typically spot or cramp before a period.
I can't help but feel like excited & I know I'm definitely setting myself up for disappointment - gonna try and hold off until Sunday or Monday to take my FRER.
Wish me luck x

ViL89 · 24/09/2021 18:22

CD 37 here I haven't tested since CD35 which was neg. No idea what's going on weirdly just wishing for AF now so I can get into next cycle I'm 8 days late

No symptoms at all

Mummytobe93 · 24/09/2021 17:30

TMI but I had loose stools from my ovulation till yesterday (12 DPO). No matter what I ate, and I actually ate quite healthy. And then last two evening I had upper belly aches and last night I was SO bloated, it was painful! Went two bed with no dinner…

My AF is due today, so far no signs of it coming. I
Had some cramping and acne in the last week but it’s gone today. Tested this morning - negative.
I won’t test till Monday, unless AF arrives before that of course.

Good luck to you girls xx

Lianna93 · 24/09/2021 17:23

@Capricorn8990 Literally just about to ask if anyone has experienced bloating as a symptom & then saw your comment!
I'm potentially 7/8dpo & my ibs has flared up worse than ever & I can't pinpoint a trigger for it and none of my medicine is working - I've been like this for 3 days now.
I feel awful & the fatigue is unreal. I've cut my holiday short to return home because of how awful I'm feeling.
Currently lying in bed with a hot water bottle hoping the heat will ease the bloat.

Thinking I may take a FRER in a few days since im due in a week.

Capricorn8990 · 24/09/2021 17:10

Welcome to the newbies 💕

Hope everyone has nice plans for the weekend.

I'm 6dpo and today had a weird feeling in my left side that was twinging and I have been really gassy and bloated! Hope this is a good sign. Also hoping my cycle isn't 36 days long again!!

Ive been training for my new job so I'm absolutely zonked.

Lots of love to all x
