November Bus👭

[Mimilicious013]

Another month of trying; hopefully BFPs all round. Good luck ladies! !
Mimi
Age 35
Cycle 17
Af due 12 / 11
ETD 13 / 11

I just wrote a whole message to you and it deleted!
I was saying, not testing as fertile period should start Monday, although dtd three times a day just incase ov is messed up from mc.
For piece of mind, when I was last pregnant I tested negative the day before af due and even had awful cramps like period day before and on the day in the morning, I was absolutely sure it was my period but it wasn't. Good luck! X

3 times a day? Fair play! My DH 'complained' at 3 times over four days! 😝 Thanks for your message, it was reassuring. If I'm not pg I think I'm either coming down with something or gearing up for the mother of all periods!

My oh loves this time of the month for that reason! fingers crossed for you tomorrow x

Go Mr & Mrs Banner haha!

Dichoto I'm testing again Mon after faint positive yesterday at 10/11 dpo. I had cramps the day before yesterday. But my sore boobs felt quite different to my usual sore boobs which is what prompted me to test

I'm due af tomorrow according to FF. I think I'm trying to kid myself that my usual night-before cramps aren't starting right now.
Just watched Bridget Jones' baby. Possibly a mistake as she's one of those upduffed by mistake cases and it's made me a bit sad to be moving into cycle 10!

danigrace it's going to fall off before I get my bfp
soozc I liked that film, but totally couldn't watch it atm due to jealousy umm just not being in the mood...

3x a day, every day?! I'm not surprised it's at risk of falling off dr!!

lulu not every day, just in fertile window. I couldn't keep that up every day

Yeah but even just during fw takes some doing - respect!

Dani - don't know if you remember me but just wanted to congratulate you on your BFP. I sometimes pop back and lurk to see how people are getting on and happened to catch this. Really, really happy for you. Hope you confirm it soon enough and you graduate fully to the pregnancy forum. (Massive hug)

So CD 13 here and no signs of ovulation despite my cycle usually lasting between 28 and 33 days. Absolutely nothing on the ovulation tests. Do some of you ladies ovulate late? Hoping that's the case. Last month I felt like I ovulated late but couldn't be sure as I realised I wasn't doing the tests properly - I find it really difficult not to pee for 4 hours before and almost always have a pint of water on the go so trying not to drink too much in that time frame is a struggle too! Do you all test late afternoon? May try early afternoon and early evening tomorrow just in case.

Wanting, I tend to do opks at about 4pm but I know some people do them more often in the day. I'm a teacher though so I can't choose when and 4pm is about 3 hours after my lunchtime wee!

My pre-af cramps were actually wind On the plus side, no pre-af cramps yet!

Sooz why not FMU? I am going to try OPK this cycle but I really don't know when I should be testing and from which CD. I'm CD8 today.

Mouse for OPKs FMU isn't recommended as it takes a while during the day for LH to build in your system to get an accurate result, kind of the opposite to hcg as it can also be diluted by quantity of urine (FMU tends to be high volume). For best results, try mid afternoon or early evening with a 3-4 hour hold and no fluids. But as long as you are testing at the same time each day I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks MrsG glad I asked. Literally no clue!! Lol

Skipper I certainly do remember you! How are you getting on? Thank you so much I'm still kind of in disbelief, testing again on Monday.

Good luck Sooz!

Wanting if you're on a 33 day cycle you could ov as late as cd19/20, keep peeing on the sticks!

Dani - awesome, I'll keep an eye out for your lovely BFP. Fx! I'm well thanks, I've nearly done all my initial fertility tests so should be referred end of November.

Hi sk1pper, nice to hear from you. Hope they get you referred really quickly.

Fx soozc. Hope AF has stayed away.

I do my opk at around 7pm wanting. I try not to drink too much beforehand but it's hard as like you, I always have a drink of water to hand! Perhaps that's why the sticks looked like I hadn't ovulated this month as my wee was too diluted?

Hi sk1pper, hope things go well for you.

Dichotomous, let us know how you get on today or tomorrow!

Mouse, as MrsG says. Some people test several times, like 10am, 3pm and 8pm to catch the positive. I normally catch mine by testing once at 4pm. If you get enough IC opks you can play around until you find something that works for you. If you have a 28-day cycle I'd start testing around cd11 or 12 and keep going until you have a +. Post photos here and we can help you determine a positive if you like!

Af due today but no sign, not even night-before cramps. I don't know if I can test though, I haven't had any symptoms at all and don't think I want to see a BFN. Better to wait until af shows, probably tomorrow, I think.

Hey wanting, I still havent ovulated, and I'm baffled. No pain, no ewcm, and negative tests every day for the past week. Either I ovulated reeeeeaally early when I wasn't testing, or it will be super late. It's very confusing and frustrating so I definitely feel your pain.

I used the Clearblue OPKs this cycle with FMU. I tested every morning from CD8 (and once on evening of CD15 due to impatience!). I got 'high' fertility from CD10 and 'peak' on CD17. Currently CD24, will test next weekend if AF doesn't show. Trying not to test early, looking at BFN is not encouraging. Have had alcohol free wine in my 2ww but if AF comes I'll be back on the proper stuff!

Hi everyone. I've been away for a while but glad to see bfp's on this bus! I just wanted to share that after 16 days of flashing smiley faces I finally got my solid smiley today! Had a few pains as well so it looks like ovulation should be any day now! Off to find DH for plenty of BD x

Back again . Still waiting on AF and now Cycle day 39. I had one wipe of pink yesterday so assumed Af had arrived and updated Ovia, but nothing else appeared . Just want it over now. Maybe today will finally be the day...

I had a negative on a preg test yesterday so def not pregnant.

Skipper that's great. Good luck for your referral, keep us posted xx

Fingers crossed Sooz, could be a good sign! Fingers crossed for you too JeNe

What cd are you blues?

Pirate that's great! Enjoy dtd!!

Dazed ugh I hate that, hope it sorts itself out for you sharpish

Well the past 2 nights I've been wide awake at 3:30am, then needed to pee, then couldn't get back to sleep for ages. What on earth is wrong with me??

I don't know if I'm out this cycle or not. Still crampy with hot/sore/tingly boobs but I've had a tiny bit of spotting when I wipe (sorry if TMI). Usually when this happens AF starts within a few hours so I am still in limbo, but not holding out much hope.

Good luck to everyone testing or SWI today! x
