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

Sorry to hear you've been in A&E @Mummyloves09. Hope your scan goes well. I'm new to this board, so congrats on your BFP.

I'm on cycle 1 post 12 week MMC, and am on day 2 of Clearblue flashing smiley. IC OPK is negative, but there is a line that is not at all a squinter. I know you're not supposed to use fmu with the ICs (whereas Clearblue recommend that you do use fmu), but my urine seems to dilute very quickly during the day. Will try not to drink for 4 hours later and do another IC.

When I got pregnant in June, I had a static smiley on cd 11, which was quite early. I'm worrying I won't ovulate this month due to the MC too. Arrrgh. Honestly, starting this all over again is hard emotionally after losing our precious bean.

Yaaaay @UnicornsandRainbows1! Really pleased for you.

@Fia256 how annoying re the tests! I have no poas willpower, so I'd be down the shops today buying tests if I was in your position! I'm honestly hopeless at holding off!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 01/10/2017 08:31

@Flatwhite I thought I posted on the wrong board for a split second and had to do a double-take 😶

I would honestly just go with it. It's tormenting, crappy and long, but it's also adjusting. And you never know, you may be successful and ovulate without there being a sign. It happens :)

HolyShmoly · 01/10/2017 08:48

Well something worked this month!

Massive congrats holy! Yay for October bus and on 1st of month too! I recommend a big fat slice of cake and a lovely pot of (decaf) tea to celebrate! x

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 01/10/2017 08:53

Yay Holy! What lovely news

HolyShmoly · 01/10/2017 08:56

Thanks! I was sure I was out this month but tested just to make sure! Longest 3 minutes worrying that the line would disappear again!

Wow congratulations @HolyShmoly that’s amazing!!! Really clear line too!!

Marigold83 · 01/10/2017 09:01

Congratulations to all those with bfps! @Mummyloves09 hope everything is ok xxx

Aph413 · 01/10/2017 09:21

Congratulations Holy and fingers crossed everything is ok Mummy
Took a first response this morning and negative, still no sign of a period coming though so I'm probably off this bus now

lindypops33 · 01/10/2017 09:23

@holyshmoly wonderful news! Congratulations! Xx

BeautifulLiar · 01/10/2017 09:26

Congratulations to those with BFPs :)

Cannot believe it's October... How's everyone feeling about a potential June baby? My birthday is in June and I absolutely love it!

Fia256 · 01/10/2017 09:26

Think I’m out! Pink spotting this morning and I’m miserable as hell with everyone in the house. Bit gutted but probably best to have a period after my miscarriage earlier this month anyway! Interestingly, it seems to can get positive opks when your due on as pictured below!!! (This was just now)

October Bus - More treats than tricks please!
BeautifulLiar · 01/10/2017 09:29

That's really odd Fia!? I'm really crabby with everyone today but then I've been awake since 3am fgs

Flatwhite31 · 01/10/2017 09:31

We are definitely just going to go with it @UnicornsandRainbows1.

Many congratulations @HolyShmoly! I remember the elation of seeing that second line. You won't forget the date either. Mine was June 21st this year.

BeautifulLiar · 01/10/2017 09:38

Flatwhite31 that's so true! My BFPs were on:

16th December
31st August
26th March
30th June
16th April

MyEternalSunshine · 01/10/2017 09:49

Oh wow congratulations Holy! That's fantastic news Smile sore boobs were always my give away too. Ahh Mummy thinking of you today FX all is ok Flowers

Flatwhite31 · 01/10/2017 09:55

@HolyShmoly sore boobs were the giveaway for me when I fell pregnant in June. They were REALLY sore too!

Flatwhite31 · 01/10/2017 09:56

Love that you remember them all @BeautifulLiar. Mine is obviously tinged with sadness as our precious bean is flying his/her wings somewhere, but I think that'll make me remember it even more.

HolyShmoly · 01/10/2017 09:58

Thanks everyone! Yeah my boobs are aching but dh will be a happy man if the continue to be swollen for the next 9 months! Lol!
mummy hope everything goes well today.

I'm a very hormonal person but I've NEVER had sore boobs Shock

lindypops33 · 01/10/2017 10:23

My boobs are so so sore now. No period still and pretty sure not upduffed either so not sure what that's about?! 😞

BlueeSpottyTiger · 01/10/2017 10:30

holy yay!! Congrats 😁 xx

Poptart4 · 01/10/2017 10:31

Congrats @HolyShmoly :) Hope all is well @mummyloves09.

My AF showed up today, 2 days early. At least I've been put out of my misery :) I'm still on the October bus as next AF due 28th Oct.

This will be cycle 3. I've been carrying on as normal up to now but going to make some changes this month. Ill keep using the opks but I'm cutting way back on alcohol, going to eat healthier, try to lose a couple of pounds. Not that I'm massively over weight (size 12) but I have been gaining a lot of weight lately. Gonna lie in bed with my legs in the air for 20 mins after dtd lol I know that sounds ridiculous but I'm getting desperate.

Any other tips on what I should be doing to help get a bfp??

CherryVicky29 · 01/10/2017 10:44

Congrats @HolyShmoly 😀
