Lucky October? 🍀

@BH1926 I think I am 10 or 11dpo today.

My cycles are all over the place, I'm currently on CD22 of a projected 38 day cycle according to my app, with O I think on CD11/12.
Feel like I have a long way to go to get past the AF stage!

What about you?

Wow another one! 🥳

I think..I might be out…☹️ Some dark browny stuff in my knickers tonight when I went wee (tmi) and I just think that’s the start of the witch. Told Hubby and he’s gone all grumpy now lol cos he wants it so bad. Will see what tomorrow brings but feeling a little low right now 😢

Congratulations @BH1926! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. Amazing with the timings of dtd too, just goes to show that you're not necessarily out, even if you haven't had sex so close to ovulation!

@Firsttimetrier I think we'll be testing around the same time, although to be fair, I don't think I'll be able to wait until 10/11 dpo 😂

Thanks @Marie93 and @jadeypies

@jadeypies fingers crossed for you too. How many dpo are you? Xx

@apwilso my DH works away and I thought we were out this month as DTD early hours of cd10 and didn't get a solid smilie on CB opk til cd14 meaning I would O cd15/16. 10dpo today and I've a vvvf BFP so just try as close as you can! Id honestly written this month off as I thought it would be too long between DTD and O.

This is Cycle 6 of ttc #2- we managed to get near o some months and on o others. His rota actually changed a few times in past few months so that definitely helped or we'd of been no where near any month. His rota changed again and I was looking ahead and we would be totally no where near O in coming months if this one doesn't stick.
So frustrating when they work away. I totally feel you on this. As regards to doc I'm really not sure as you say it's more timing than anything but maybe worth the phone call any way. Fingers crossed for you xx

@BH1926 wow congrats defo see a line

Congratulations @positiveovernegative and @BH1926
I'm also desperately trying not to test again after a chemical in my last cycle... going to test again Friday and hopefully see some line progression.
Fingers crossed to you ladies 🤞

Anyone else's partner work away? We've been trying/not preventing since October last year but I feel as if I can't go to the doctors because I know it's our timings. I am loosing weight and cutting back but it's hard when he's away we miss out most months

@positiveovernegative haha yeah itll be hard not to test! I know I'll crave and probs end up doing one everyday 🙈😂 I'm due AF in 4 days too - fingers crossed she doesn't show for either of us xx

Evening all, only just managing to catch up after the first day back in the office, which is a nice distraction.

Had strong ovulation late last night but we didn’t manage to DTD. Hopefully our other times will be successful, but I’ve come to realise that it is what it is and it’s only our first month trying and we gave it our all. If it produces a sticky bean then fantastic, but we know what we need to do next time.

I didn’t get a static smiley this morning either, but ran out of tests, so just going to wait now until AF. We’ve decided I’ll do a test on DPO10/11 knowing that it may be negative, but will do another test once DH is home which is the day AF is due.

I guess we start the countdown… ⏱

@BH1926 Im planing on doing a test in a couple of days I think. My Af is due in 4 days as I normally have a 16 day luteal phase so might if I'm strong enough wait til after that 😬

Thanks everyone ☺️

@positiveovernegative aww congratulations to you too! Fingers crossed for us both we have sticky ones ❤️ are you planning on testing again tomorrow? Xx

Ahh I see a line! Congratulations 🥰👶🏻

So many positives!

@BH1926 congratulations!
Looks just like mine today. Wishing you all the best ❤️✨

@BH1926 congratulations 😊

I definitely see a line @BH1926 ! Fingers crossed for the progression 🤞🤞🤞😊xxxx

@BH1926 I see something. Fingers crossed for you!

Hey ladies

So after thinking I was totally out this month due DH working away I've been vomiting since yesterday... so this morning (10 dpo) I took a test thinking it won't show anything well I have vvvf line! Only reason I tested was I felt exactly like I did with DD as was vomiting before BFP with her. I'm crossing everything that the line progresses 🤞🏻 and I'm not imagining it 🙈 I've attached a pic but as I said vvvf so doesn't show well.

Thoughts on pic please xx

@Cruz86 I've put a decent share into clear blue -digi and rapid. Meant to buy early detection. And I used sainsburys own brand. I'm bored of buying tests now so I'll just wait for af to show. I have an inclin it'll be Friday when I'm out for food with the girls 🤣 last month I was 4 days late so I wonder if my periods have shifted from 28days to 32. Hard work this baby making malarkey!!! 😝

@Danani thank you!! Birthday month means celebrating each week! Technically it's This Sunday but might as well slot stuff in before ovulation next week!

@Squiff70 awww thank you birthday is Sunday but dragging out birthday celebrations as you do! Hopefully I can get a BFP as my wish!

The bits where the dye came up after the control line have faded now as it's a couple of hours ago at least. It doesn't show on photos either (I just tried). It's too early to test anyway, I just have a POAS addiction!

Do you have a pic of the test @Squiff70?

Reading through your experiences just makes me hope even more that we have more bfps over the next couple of weeks ❤️

@FlyOnTheWall89, I just wanted to say that I was you a couple of years ago - it took 10 cycles to catch for DD and it drove me nuts the whole time! So much of it was spent learning my cycle and my body, but we got there.

This time round, even though we've had to go through a miscarriage, I've felt so much more at peace with the process. Impatient, sure, but more relaxed because I know my body a bit more. It's a classic, "can't get here until you've gone through it," bugger though.

Glad you're feeling more at peace with it now too, and fingers crossed this is your cycle!
