October Bus - More treats than tricks please!

[HolyShmoly]

I'm off the September Bus before it even leaves the station and thanks to my longer cycle I thought I'd start the October page.

TTC #1
Cycle #3
BFP due October 4th

Does anyone else use a ferning microscope? Interested to see what people thought of results.

Beautiful Wow 5! That's amazing good luck to you- oh that's great to hear, for sure I don't know what I'm in for

Blood tests all done & results should be back within 5-7 days. In the meantime AF has been suspiciously light & short. Usually AF is 5-7 days for me. Days 1,2,3 being the worst. This time 4 days, light bleeds. Only having to change pad twice-three times in a day. Now there's no bleeding at all.

Hi all!

Hopping on the bus...

TTC #1
Cycle #2
32
BFP due 12th October

Have started using Boots OPKs (strips), just wondering if others rate these compared to the fancy (but expensive!) ClearBlue smiley tests?

@MyEternalSunshine I’m trying for number 3!

I’m feeling slightly peeved off this month already!

Into the two week wait now (if I have actually ovulated that is 🤔) and bang on time, I’m now on antibiotics for the next week!! the dr did say they are fine to take when ttc, but after having 4 losses in a row I feel like any little thing is going to ruin our chances! Although dr did point out it’s better than having an infection when ttc!

Well I had a positive opk yesterday tea time so we dtd, this morning it was negative and I've had a rise in temperature.
Does this mean ovulation is complete or should we keep going for a few days?

Sounds like it's complete to me Pablo but I'd just keep going for good measure

@Fia256 so sorry you are on antibiotics. Please be kind to yourself and rest. I’m sure they won’t harm TTC.

@PabloEscobarlo I’ll be waiting responses to your question to as I’m also interested. I read on Google that the egg last for 12-24 hours (Ladies please correct me if I’m wrong) so I reckon if you can maybe try DTD the tonight as I would say tomorrow would be too late.

Any idea why my temp keeps rising? I had a positive OPK yesterday too (well as near as). Below is a screen shot of it.... I keep looking at ‘charts like mine’ on Fertility Friend and it keeps showing me Anovulatory graphs. Does that mean that mine is going to be that? Sob sob!

I'm not sure about temping too much but that's how mine is looking. Will keep dtd today and check and assume I'm going to ovulate today possibly tommorow

@pixielove123 yours definitely does not look anovulatory to me 🤔 mine seems to be that way though unless it’s the antibiotics changing my temps, and my dd is poorly so up a lot with her the last few nights however I’m still certain I haven’t ovulated. This is mine look. Yours looks much better than mine lol

@Fia256 it could be the antibiotics changing your temps. But hopefully iI’ll will shoot up soon showing ovulation. Wish there was a recipe like making a cake ....

@Fia256 how wonderful! So sorry to hear you're unwell hope you feel better soon what cycle are you on?

@MyEternalSunshine thankyou, thankfully I feel ok, just an infection from a sodding insect bite!

Not really sure how to answer the cycle question lol. Feels like we’ve been doing this forever. I’d say a year in, however we had an early miscarriage in dec, then I lost a little boy half way through in June, then a chemical at the start of this month! So technically this is month 1 again. Just doesn’t feel it lol!!

@Fia256 I'm so sorry- that must have been terrible. I've lost two as well so I understand the struggle. Fingers crossed for a sticky baby very soon !

Welcome all. It's getting a bit exciting now!

@littlegoose I got my first period 5 weeks after getting the implant removed. That's a normal cycle length for me, so it must have started me pretty much on cd1.

I'm around 4dpo now.

I think I have line eyes. The photo is rubbish but I am sure there is a line there! Anyone see anything?

It looks that way to me! It's that a pregnancy test?

@Holyshmoly. Yes it's a cheapie one. Thing is I did one 2 days ago and thought there was something there. So did one this morning and, like I say, though that photo is rubbish, this time I can def see something! But it may just be one of those evap line things? X

Can you go to the shops and get a first response for tomorrow morning?
What date was af due?

@holyshmoly. I don't know!!! I came off the pill 5 weeks ago and haven't had a period. The past week or so I have been positive it's on the way as had all the symptoms I normally get. But it hasn't appeared.

Hi everyone, hoping aboard this bus.

TTC #1
Cycle 3
BFP due 26th Oct

@Lindypops33 I think I can see a very feint line :-)

@lindypops33 I'd get a first response early one and test in the morning, then if it's positive and reasonably strong colour on it, wait two days and use the digital one.

Right think I'm in my 2 week wait. Hoping for bfp on 5th Oct. Fingers crossed for you all, hope October is a lucky month full of babies.
