TTC October 2023

@KM8 sorry it didn't tag you on below post

Km8 yes! 3 days before I hit my peak on opk the heavy aching feeling started, felt like I was carrying a water balloon inside my uterus 😂 I'm sure it must be pre ovulation pain so fingers crossed you get your peak in the next few days

@dg3131 me! Trying to also continue my life while I wait. I have a very bad habit in general that if I have a meeting or important appointment in the afternoon I’ll sort of spend the whole day waiting for it rather than doing things - and this seems to be expanded to the TWW as well where I just start googling all things pregnancy instead of other better activities like reading a good book 😅😅

Sorry ladies this may be TMI but only on day 10 of my cycle, but I've been having an 'aching' feeling down there feeling for the past few days, I've started taking a conception supplement and wondering whether this is just a coincidence??
I've done ovulation tests and they are negative.
Anyone else had anything similar?

11dpo today, AF due on Friday. Pretty certain I’m out now. Got this evap line on my last test this morning and it made me remember how cruel they are 🙃

@Blueberry1990 I am 2 days late according to Flo but with Clue (which is normally right) I’m due on in 3 days!

Yes I'm also using them, haven't had a positive reading from them this month so far

@Blueberry1990
never just use the apps, you need to use the opk to help guide you as to when, and input that into the apps too

I have tracked my period for nearly 3 years and it's crazy how different the apps predict ovulation date 🤔

Flo - October 13th
Premom - October 6th
Femometer - October 17th

4 or 5 DPO , anyone else similar? Going out of my mind waiting to test

That’s me out 10dpo AF just arrived few days early good luck everyone onto the November cycle

Hi I know I'm late to the October party but hope it's ok to join. Think I'm probably out for this month anyway. Currently cd55. Last cycle was 65 days, the few before that were 29 to 33 days. Been TTC#1 for 6/7 months now. Used ovulation tests first time this month but gave up about day 35 as had been through two boxes. Bbt been high for around 10 days or so but really high about a week. Looks like starting to come down a little today. Right boob very sore yesterday but I'm hcg testing on those super cheap early Amazon tests every day and very much negative. So frustrating not knowing where I'm at in a cycle, when or if I've ovulated, when AF might arrived and having to wait twice as long to start over! Sorry for the rant! I've had a few tests at the doctor's as I had a lot of pain last cycle I think I may have had a cyst but I didn't get a scan until about a month after the pain had subsided so nothing to see but no obvious pcos either. Normal bloods. Who knows

I am out ladies got my Period. Onto November......
Good luck everyone

@bumptobean
haha glad it’s not just me then ha.

I just bashed my tummy while taking the wheelie bin out. And now I feel sick and have a slight cramp in my tummy.
only symptom I’ve had (8dpo) has been tender nipples, so I know this sickness and cramp is because I just bashed myself.

going to get my head down and get some good sleep and try not to be stressed

@KLK94 i had this exact thought last month when AF was 3 days late!!

@HRHXO
yeah my cycles went mental when TTC
my theory is little beans that stick and delay period by a day or 2 but don’t stick long enough to be detected. And visa Versa, just a theory, or something to help rationalise it

@KLK94 it definitely is but I never start early and I never spot, I need AF to start properly as I've just spent a fortune on the clear blue opks I was planning to use but instead I'm just cramping and spotting it's so unusual for me and frustrating, I knew I was out from 8dpo so I'm not grasping at straws I'm just wondering if anyone else's cycles got messed up when ttc...

@HRHXO that does sound like AF unfortunately

So confused, I've had cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back (similar to af cramps) all day, woke up with a headache and been feeling a bit down in the dumps. I did a test and it was bfn so assumed af is coming 3 days early (unusual for me but nit completely unheard of). Now I've had some light brown, pinkish spotting with some clear almost ewcm when wiping after going to the loo... probably af coming but I'm slightly concerned 12dpo is quite late to implant? Anyone else had this and it was just af showing up early?

Has been for the last couple of months, ever since Ttc, not sure why 😔

@Lushfanatic123 if spotting is not normal for you before your period then you should talk to your doctor.

Think I might be out this month, have been continuously spotting for the last four days 😔

Implantation bleeding is only a couple of days right?

So I'm guess this is breakthrough bleeding as AF is due on Friday.

Oh my days. I've lost my mind. I'm on CD12 which is when I usually ovulate (usually 12 or 13) but for some reason I got it into my head I still had until the end of the week. I have no idea how thats happened. I've been so consumed with it all recently but then managed to completely space out on something so important. I'm kicking myself!

Woah. According to my apps I was due to ovulate towards the end of the week but now I'm worried I've actually missed my peak? I literally ordered so Clear Blues today intending to use them as the week went on 🤦‍♀️ this is all so stressful. Told DH to get his bum home immediately and get his pants off.

Hi ladies, not posted much in this thread recently because I annoyed myself by testing at 8dpo and every day since and they've all been bfn of course! I really felt positive this month because I've had sore boobs and mild cramps but it's probably just af gearing up (I'm more like af comes late than early as my cycles are anywhere from 31 to 35 days long). Anyone else feeling really disheartened and readying themselves for TTC November threads? 💐
