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

Oh time is dragging! It's one week until AF is due (well, it would be due then if I was still on the pill anyway). Hurry up!

What is everyone doing to keep themselves distracted and busy?! I'm a SAHM so don't have work to keep me occupied. I might go and declutter a wardrobe...

Hope you are feeling ok @mommy and congratulations on all of the BFP's

I'm on my second 'high' day on my clear blue digital monitor. I think we should DTD tonight as i hear it can stay in your system for a couple of days (sorry trying not to be crude!) DH thinks we should wait for the peak so it's the best quality. I'm just worried that because I poas in the morning and it says peak, we could miss the opportunity as we won't get to DTD until after work on the evening. Any advice?

Josie as long as you DTD every other day you should be covered. When you're fertile sperm can hang around for a few days

Josie How many 'High' days do you usually get? I usually have 4 Highs then Peak so if you dtd now and on 1st Peak you should be covered? I think you're right, if you wait until evening after 1st Peak morning there is a chance you could be too late.

I usually get 4 but you can get more

It's only my second month of trying. Last month I had one day high, two peaks then back to high. I was also peak on day 8, where as now I'm on day 12 which is second day of high so this cycle is obviously different to my last one.

Thanks for the help. Think I'm going to take your advice and go for every second day at least while it's high, and on every peak day if we can. TBH neither of us enjoy the pressure of it

@81Josie when I fell pregnant in June this year, we couldn't DTD until the evening when I got my static smiley. We managed to fit it in the next morning too (thankfully it was the weekend the next day. I get up at 6.15am so there's no way I'm DTD before that lol!).

I’ve got an extremely faint second line on a FRER. It came up soon after the 3 minute timer, definitely within 4 or 5 minutes. Do I take it as a tentative positive?! It’s so faint I can’t really make it show up in a photo.

This is the best photo I could get...

Looks positive to me @MyAmTrying

I can see a really faint line, but trying not to get my hopes up in case I’m seeing things. Picture isn’t great but it’s more apparent in real life. AF is due tomorrow so I’ll do another test then

@MyAmTrying and @hoopdeloop I can see faint lines! Fingers crossed for you both. X

Eekk good luck ladies! I swear by frer tests but I know everyone's different

Well this is exciting!

Wow massive congratulations on the BFPs. Feels like this is a lucky thread

Congrats ladies! This is keeping me sane this week. But I just know af will show up x

Congrats to all the bpf's!!

I'm ok cycle day 31 and I still haven't ovulated. Feeling really down in the dumps - again! (Sorry to be a downer!) Before my last cycle which was a neat 31 days, my last bleed was in January and I had seven months of waiting for my temp to rise, peeing on opks with nothing. I really really don't want that to be the issue again. I can't wait seven more months for a sodding period.

I'm still showing as high. This is the 3rd day of high and 9th day of POAS since day 6. I'm beginning to think I'm not going to peak this month. If my cycle is the same as my previous two months AF will be due on 18th October. Feel like I want to start the month again, but pleased it's going so well for so many of you

Congrats to all the BFP's!

So frustrating isn't it Josie i haven't had Peaks for the last 2 cycles but did for 2 before that so can't decide if i'm not ovulating now or CBFM just not picking it up

I would so love to get my BFP this cycle, think July would be a lovely time to have a baby and also would mean 12 week scan just before xmas, telling people at xmas would be just magical, i want it too bad now though, just know it won't happen

Congratulations on the BFPs! So nice to see good news.

I think this must be a lucky thread!! Congrats everyone. I am 5dpo and this is making me v excited!

Ok I thought i was out this month but can anyone tell me if this is positive? Came up in time and is definitely pink. Not fmu

Looks positive to me Congratulations!

Merz congratulations it looks positive to me too!

Sorry Merz misread and thought it was yours. Maybe it's a good feeling 🤞
