The October Bus - hoping for lots of BFPs and Summer babies!!

[Writerwannabe83]

Hi guys, just starting the October bus.

I'm almost 33, have a DS (2.5 years) and am now trying for DC2. I caught pregnant on cycle 1 but unfortunately had an early miscarriage and am now entering cycle 5.

My current situation is that DH has been changing his mind over the last 12 months to wanting to try for another, then not wanting to, then wanting to etc and it's been very difficult. We have now come to the compromise that we can actually try up until next August but if nothing has happened by then we stop TTC.

I'm on CD3 now, I usually ovulate around days 17/18 and have cycles of around 31/32 days.

Good luck to everyone!!!

As soon as DH's home tonight I'll DTG (Do The Gorilla)

I think there's a level of delirium on the thread today! Ha ha!

Dtg!!! Am sitting in a M&S bra fitting room pmsl!

Am awaiting the return of Ursula with some bras. She is stern and smells of cigarettes.

Dying at fornicating silverbacks and DTG!!

We are off to a child-free wedding tomorrow, 2 nights away. We've booked into the spa and a fancy restaurant today. I'm in the 2WW but I'm not going to say no to some cheeky Prosecco

DTG 😂

Lulu I haven't trusted an Ursula since The Little Mermaid. Just saying.

Flashing that sounds awesome, enjoy!

Lulu anyone who can reference Disney in every day life has a friend in me!

There are way too may comments to reply personally. I imagine gorillas DTD in the same way we do. Would Pregnancare help with LP (if you're not taking it already), it made mine longer by a day. Yep, that's definitely positive. You may get stronger later but you definitely have a green light there. Go, go, go! Sorry to hear about the failed DTD. I think some men think too much about, and it can be daunting when you've been avoiding pregnancy. Maybe it would be better not to tell him abut all the technical bits involved with creating life. Sorry about all the BFNs. It's so cruel when you keep getting them and AF is playing games. I have veiny boobs before AF is due. I really don't think this is normal. I think my body might be built wrong.

That looks positive to me purple!

So I'm thinking i might have ovulated in the last few days . Either that or I'm really about to have my withdrawal bleed and my body has given me a pain break. My tummy and back ache have eased right off and I'm feeling less bloated but almost gassy??. If I class my first day off pill as CD1 then I'm CD14 today. I've totally missed the window if that's the case. Last DTD was Saturday.

Urgh. So confused.

Hahaaa DTG did make me giggle!!!

I got a positive ovulation test on the 25th and 26th then a negative on the 27th, how many dpo am I?

Can't tell Me9an, different people ovulate at different points in their cycle. But that sounds like you ovulated on the 26th. So wait two weeks after that date to test

Oh wait I read that wrong! So 3dpo I'd say?

Yep, I'd say you probably ovulated on the 26th.

I might have a go at DTG tonight
Can't believe how much I have to catch up on! I guess that's what happens when you fall asleep on the sofa during the bake off!
That definitely looks positive to me purple- better get busy

Mouse maybe DTD today just in case?

Thanks Napping & Captain ! Feeling exhausted today but it's definitely too early for anything pregnancy related !!!

DTG

Also quite amused at the idea we should be shagging like feral cats in order to achieve conception

I'm sat in a car park, doing nothing, whilst my toddler sleeps in the back in his car seat. I plan on sitting here until he wakes up but I'm desperate for a wee

Woo the bus is on a roll and have giggled quite a bit catching up.lots of ewcm here so dtg tonight

Rooting for all those testing soon fx and hope af stays away.

Enjoy lots of dtg lol to all nearing ov

Just catching up and giggling in work at "DTG"

Tried an ov test spontaneously today just because I was hoping to get an idea of which app was closest regarding my FW ... One of them reckons ov day will be tomorrow but I reckon it might have been a day or two ago, the test only had a faint line today so will do another tomorrow and see if it's gone (in which case I'm assuming ovia was right and it was earlier) or darker (in which case the original one I was using was closer) does that make sense as an experiment? Lol

DH is getting super excited this month as its our first properly "trying" but maybe a bit too optimistic idk it's lovely that he's excited but I'm worried that if it doesn't happen it'll be a major letdown but he said "it would be disappointing whether I'm this excited now or not so might as well enjoy it while it lasts" whereas I'm going for cautiously optimistic but at the same time I bought EPO today ready to try for the next cycle ... Whilst hoping that it turns out to be money wasted :P just worried he's got his hopes up and it's going to get hard if it doesn't happen as soon as we hope, weird trying to navigate all these emotions isn't it... Kind of relieved to be on holiday with distractions during 2WW!

I've just realised. Fifa is released today.... I might have to use it at my DTD bargaining chip.

Teehee good luck mimilicious and rest of the bus :P fx

You guys are all crazy but you make me laugh! I think I'm approaching ov, got dtg booked in with DP for tomorrow (not that he knows that's what I'm calling it!!) as I'm knackered tonight. Fx for a +opk this evening and a temp hike tomorrow!

Good luck girls. I still feel this is going to be a lucky bus, if not for me but I'm starting fertility tests next cycle (#9).

Tinkerbell if you do get pregnant this cycle the EPO won't be wasted as you can use it in the last couple of weeks of pregnancy to ripen your cervix for labour. I don't know whether it makes a different or not, but I took it and had a 4.5hr first labour no pain relief. I will def be taking it again next time just in case it did help!

Just been to the loo and bleeding seems to have stopped So I'm very cautiously wondering whether it might have been implantation bleeding rather than AF. It's about the right timing (8/9DPO) and I've been getting some light stabby pains the side I ovulated this morning. I'm sure I'm just massively overthinking but the possibility of not being completely out for this cycle has cheered me up, if only temporarily.

I can't remember who mentioned acupuncture, but I know someone who tried for 2 years. She started acupuncture and got pregnant quite quickly. When do docs start takin you seriously with fertility tests? I thought it was after 1 year (unless you fib) which I'm more happy to do.

Writer mine fell asleep on the way home. Lunch in peace. Bliss!

I think even if you think you've ovulated you should give it a go. You never know. My friend got pregnant on the last of her period. She though she was 'safe'. I'm sure we all know 'that girl'.

That was me MrsP, I've heard good things about it so think I will give it a go if AF shows.

Mouse i guess that's what's inside the amazon package that arrived addressed to my husband this morning!!! Might have to play a little game of hide and seek

Napping ah awesome well fx I can just leave it in the back of the cupboard until then! Hope yours is implantation bleeding, if it's stopped already and only 8 dpo that sounds promising not out then
