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.

Afternoon everyone. Just a quick question. AF was 2 weeks ago but was very light for 5 days. Nausea has hit me harder than any other month & when I went to the loo today there was a slight pink when i wiped. I've now got mild cramps. Surely this can't be AF again & wouldn't it be too early for implantation bleeding? Not due again for another 2 weeks.

Congrats on the bfps!! Hope this thread goes as lucky for us all! 🍀

We've been dtd every 2-3 this month so far, not due to ovulate for another 2 days according to apps but have had a few days ewcm and today I feel quite full and pully in my pelvis so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

NimbleKnitter · 03/10/2017 16:03

@CoconutGal could it be ovulation?

I get ovulation sickness and it’s possible to get ovulation spotting.

If you think you might be pregnant - take a test. At two weeks after your predicted period, a test should show you immediately if you are

Flatwhite31 · 03/10/2017 18:06

Congrats on the BFPs everyone! Let's hope this is a lucky thread! I got a static smiley on a Clearblue digital last night, so DTD in the evening. Got a positive on two IC opks today, but am going to have to force myself to DTD tonight as I'm not feeling 100%. Typical!

BlueeSpottyTiger · 03/10/2017 20:22

Aww yay! Congrats on thw bfps ladies, So pleased for you all xx

5dpo... 4 more days until i can start testing. Longest wait ever 😂

I've had cramps for the last day or so now, i feel like af will arrive but It's not due until around next wednesday 🤔

Peachy92 · 03/10/2017 20:31

BFP due 7th October

First month I’ve had nausea / lightheaded / hot flushes so I’m hoping this is my bus 🤞🏻 Good luck all x

Flatwhite31 · 03/10/2017 20:31

I should be starting the TWW tomorrow @BlueeSpottyTiger. I remember from last time that it feels so long! Going to drive myself mad with symptom spotting I think.

Joeybee · 04/10/2017 03:44

Hi all.
I was on the June, July and August bus. In the beginning of August I got af and decided to have a break from TTC for a cycle or two. Now I'm back and feeling much more positivity about it all.
I'd be especially happy to finally get a Bfp this month as October would've been the due date of the pregnancy I lost in Feb.

So
Aged 30
CD11
AF/Bfp due 21st (ish) October.
TTC #1
Miscarriage at 6 weeks in Feb 2017.

This cycle I've started running every other day, taking evening primrose oil tablets (as well as the usual prenatals I'd been taking before) and keeping up my fluid intake as much as possible.

Good luck all. Looking forward to seeing some bfp posts soon!!!

hoopdeloop · 04/10/2017 06:07

BFP has appeared for me today Grin

Lots of love and baby dust to everyone xox

MacDJ · 04/10/2017 06:54

I’m out :-( AF showed two days early, good luck to everyone who’s still aboard! Hopefully won’t see too many of you in the November Bus xx

Flatwhite31 · 04/10/2017 07:05

Congrats @hoopdeloop!

Sorry to hear that @MacDJ. X

Flatwhite31 · 04/10/2017 07:22

Hi ladies, do any of you get ovulation pain? I've been up most of the night with what feels like period type aching on the right hand side of my abdomen. It isn't sharp pain, but hurts when I press down on it. It hurts enough to make me feel pretty uncomfortable, and I know I'm going to find work hard with it. I was feeling a bit off last night with a mild temp, but that's gone now and I don't actually feel ill this morning, just sore (which makes me think it's not something like my appendix). Is ovulation pain sharp, and how long does it last?

PabloEscobarlo · 04/10/2017 07:44

BFN for me today, 12 dpo and af due sat/sun

I’m quite upset despite knowing we would be unlikely this month I had a huge amount of hope

FrowningOwl · 04/10/2017 08:27

I'm out, AF arrived this morning I have a doctor's appointment to see if we can do some tests as I've been off the pill for nearly two years and whilst we were not actively TTC I think there is something wrong. Huge congratulations to @hoopdeloop 

@Flatwhite31 Yes I get ovulation pain every month, generally an ache in my right side that comes and goes for a day. That's how I know I am ovulating and usually find I have EWCM too

FrowningOwl · 04/10/2017 08:28

Sorry don't know why my emojis didn't come up! Very pleased for you @hoopdeloop ! Smile

81Josie · 04/10/2017 08:43

Still on high but no peak so not feeling positive about this month

I'd be very interested to know what you guys with BFPs did differently such as supplements etc. I'm keen to throw everything at it next month xx

Merrz · 04/10/2017 09:13

Congratulations hoopdeloop Smile

I'm also keen for any tips this month from you guys who got BFP's
I'm coming across a few saying they got BFP's when started exercising?

Aph413 · 04/10/2017 11:25

My BFP on that cheap test yesterday is a BFN on a FRER. So I'm leaving it a week before checking again

hoopdeloop · 04/10/2017 12:43

Thanks guys! I can’t say I’ve done anything spectacular! I just use the Ovia app and then lie still a few minutes after DTD. I don’t use OPK sticks either!

Owlpatrol · 04/10/2017 13:02

Congrats Hoop by the way knew it was your month!! I caved and used a opk test this morning which was obviously negative. Af due Friday so slowly looking hope got all the usual Af symptoms but I am keeping fingers crossed still xx

lindypops33 · 04/10/2017 13:02

Aph413 I had that a week or so ago. Two lines on a cheapie but nothing on the Frer. It was very weird. I've done more since but nothing.

Sukiella · 04/10/2017 16:08

Jumping on this bus too

Aridia · 04/10/2017 18:08

Hi guys, can I join you on this bus? It's lovely to see the BFP's! Congratulations! Let's hope this is a lucky bus with lots of sticky ones!

We took a break from ttc for a month, but we've been back to it for October!

I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot, but I can't help it! I had cramps a couple of days ago, but no spotting. And I've had nausea which is unusual for me. Also very vivid dreams!

I think AF is due on Sunday, but my Flo app says Monday, so not quite sure. I haven't poas yet, but trust me, I'm seriously tempted! I know it's a bit too early though!

Emz01 · 04/10/2017 18:21

Hi girls,

Just thought I would let you know what I did a little differently recently and got my BFP.

  • Used OPK’s only started these 3 cycles ago.
  • Conceive plus used last cycle and this cycle only
  • Started exercising about 6/7 weeks ago (couch to 5k) 3 times a week and still plan to keep this up for as long as possible.

Good luck to everyone!

Sukiella · 05/10/2017 08:44

Hi all, congrats to all on their BFPs! We are just on cycle one of ttc number 2, and are so excited! We already have a 3 year old DS.

Quick question about OPKs, we never used them first time around, but have heard good things about them so have started using them this time (the clearblue advanced digital). I started using on CD 10, got no result on CD 10 and 11, then on CD 12 got a solid smiley, no flashing smiley at all - bit confused about this as you're meant to get flashing smileys before a solid aren't you? Anyone have any experience with them?

Baby dust to all x
