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

My boobs are so sore and I only ever get that about a day before AF. 9dpo.
I had one cramps around 6dpo along with a drop in my heart rate so I I did implant I think it was then.
I'm bloody knackered, but I think this has just been a tiring work week.
I don't have loads of cm, but think I have slightly more than usual at this stage.
Flaming symptom spotting is driving me crazy, which inevitably leads to vivid dreams and more confusion!

@Fia256 good luck! Is it a job interview?

I was given my notice yesterday until the end of the year. I knew it was coming as the company I work for is ceasing and I am one of the last ones remaining. We've got savings specifically for this reason so not too worried about miney. If I'm pregnant by the end of the year I guess I'll try find a temp job! Does anyone have any experience with this? More worried about having to yell a new employer that I'm pregnant early in a new role, but we just don't want to wait any longer!

Meg & Mummy Congratulations!! Ahh so many BFP's hopefully it's something in the air! Smile

Poptart4 · 29/09/2017 11:48

Huge congrats to all the bfp. It's nice to see some good luck on the thread Grin

I'm not feeling very hopeful this month :( AF due Tuesday and I've had no symptoms whatsoever. Hoping against hope for a bfp this weekend.

I'm thinking a frer should pick something up from Sat? Anyone get a bfn on a frer and a then go on to get a bfp??

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 13:23

Thankyou all, I didn’t get the job but I’m actually not that bothered. Didn’t have a great feel about it when I was there and then I’d of been faced with possible unpaid maternity!

@MegEmski why do you think it’ll be chemical? Try not to panic yourself

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 13:48

I'm not sure, I just keep reading posts where people had a light FRER like me then it disappeared, or articles about how common they are

Basically being ridiculous, there is nothing I can do anyway, so no point stressing!

Poptart4 · 29/09/2017 14:14

@megemski is there colour in the second line on your test? My phone won't let me see the picture. I had 2 lines on a frer last month and the second had no colour at all, came up straight away too. I wasn't pregnant but it gave me false hope. Not trying to be a Debbie downer I just know how disappointed I was and would hate the same to happen to others.

If there is colour then it's a positive. Try to relax and enjoy this time.

@megemski - I had a really faint one when I was PG on the first day I tested and it got darker later on so don't worry! Ended in MMC but the faintness or otherwise of the line isn't an indicator of MC (in case it came across that way). How about trying the clear blue with weeks indicator in a couple of days? That's what I did last time and then I relaxed a bit

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 14:29

I'm doing another frer tomorrow morning and if that's ok then a 'normal' on Wednesday which is when AF is due

It was pink line, very pale but pink not clear. Took the 3 mins to appear as well

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 14:57

Ahh try not to worry too much @MegEmski
I had a chemical start of the month, and mine just stayed super light and then got lighter and lighter but if you haven’t even done another test yet, don’t worry! I always had super light frer the first time I took them with my healthy pregnancies xx

MegEmski · 29/09/2017 16:49

Thanks for pep talk @Fia256

I'll update tomorrow after I've poas!

Fia256 · 29/09/2017 17:00

Please do! I’m sure all is well though!

I feel horrific. Around an hour ago my lower back started to really ache (as it does when I’m ill) I feel cold, exhausted and sick and dizzy.

Don’t think it’s symptoms but trying to think positive that maybe I’m ill because my immune system is lowered Wink

hoopdeloop · 29/09/2017 17:46

I stupidly did a test and got a BFN. Trying to tell myself it's too early and shouldn't have done it at lunchtime!

This may be a stupid question, but maybe someone can help! I know you're supposed to use the first pee in the morning because that has the most hormone, but what happens if you wake up in the middle of the night for the loo? Do you test then or wait til the morning?

felicityheather · 29/09/2017 20:09

@hoopdeloop I guess it depends how far through the night you are. I'd probably wait until morning unless it's only an hour or two to go.

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 07:22

I needed to pee at 3.30am then was super thirsty so drunk water....woke up desperate for a pee at 6am so did my poas. Still a line on frer but v. pale still.... hoping just due to frequency of peeing / drinking water

Had hoped it would be darker today!

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 07:43

BFN for me today! So looks like the implantation style spotting I had the other day was probably something else!

Fia256 · 30/09/2017 07:52

Although just read you won’t test positive until 2-3 days after. I had those spots not even 36 hours ago (10pm on thurs eve) so maybe there’s still hope!

Mummyloves09 · 30/09/2017 08:08

@megemski I test this morning and mines is still very faint. I ordered a digital blue so I will test on Tuesday as AF was due yesterday.

MegEmski · 30/09/2017 08:23

@Mummyloves09 ah why do we do it to ourselves! I'm going to force myself if I can now for weds when AF actually due...

Bet I can't though!

Owlpatrol · 30/09/2017 08:31

I need to force myself to wait till I miss AF now because I feel I get my hopes up too much

hoopdeloop · 30/09/2017 08:32

I did another test this morning and a BFN Sad Going to hold off until Wednesday when AF is due.

Flatwhite31 · 30/09/2017 10:03

Hi everyone, can I join? I had a MMC at 12 weeks (found out at the scan) 5.5 weeks ago. Had baby removed surgically 5 weeks ago yesterday. Awful, awful time and I'm really struggling. These boards tend to be quite cheerful, and I need a boost. Obviously we didn't try in Sept as much of that was recovering. I did have a bleed 26 days after the ERPC (surgical procedure) but I still don't know if that was my period or not, as I had no other AF symptoms with it.
If it was my period, I am currently on CD10. OPK is negative, but there is a faint line which is better than no line at least.
Congrats to the BFPs. X

Flatwhite31 · 30/09/2017 10:13

Here are my stats btw:

Age - 32 (well on 20th Oct I will be 32!)
Cycle - 1
History - conceived on cycle 4 in June, but it sadly ended in MMC at 12 weeks.

Poptart4 · 30/09/2017 11:35

Welcome @flatwhite. Sorry to hear about your mc. Hopefully this month will be a better month for you Flowers

With 4 days until my af is due I used a frer with fmu aaannnnddd bfn Sad I think that's me out for this cycle. I won't test again unless af doesn't show on Tuesday but I'm pretty sure I'm out.
