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

Hi all, new to this board and this conception lark! First month TTC baby number one, I'm 30 and hubby is 32. Not 100% sure when I o'd but think it was probably Sunday 8th based on CM and a few twinges, AF is due on the 23rd. We DTD on 7th and a few days before but I don't think we've done it enough tbh, however I don't want to be nagging DH too much at this early stage! I've had regular 29 day cycles for years and not been on the pill since I was a teen. I've been extra moody since the weekend and a bit down which is unusal until the week before AF, but could be because of the dark mornings and evenings now which always gets me down a tad. I have a small hope of catching first time but I know it's not likely... Won't stop me getting a bit obsessed over it though! Glad to have these boards as an outlet and to read all you ladies stories ☺️ best of luck to all this month!

Realised that because of my dates I'm still on the October bus despite getting a BFN at the very beginning! My period was actually early so when I input it on Clue it adjusted the ovulation prediction back to a few days before we started trying last month, so no wonder! In my fertile week now so thoroughly on the wagon again!

PumpkinPatch000 · 11/10/2017 07:54

Morning!

I'm still on the bus but not sure how long for... I think I may have ovulated slightly later than I expected so I thought I was around 16DPO today but am actually slightly less than that... was expecting AF on Monday and no sign yet. I'm going to test on Saturday if she doesn't arrive before then.

Feeling down today 😞

Aridia · 11/10/2017 08:26

Thank you for all the kind words and advice all! You've been fab! And good luck to all still on the bus!
Unfortunately, I'm officially out now. AF arrived with a vengeance in the early hours, deciding I didn't need to sleep so mammoth cramps instead :(
Still, on to the next cycle! In the best possible way, I hope to not see many of you on the November bus! Good luck!!!

PumpkinPatch000 · 12/10/2017 13:42

Sad to say I have fallen off the October bus 😞

AF arrived yesterday and today is pretty heavy so I doubt it's implantation bleeding. Still feel nauseous though not fair!

Good luck to everyone still on the bus

Sukiella · 12/10/2017 14:22

Afternoon everybody, @Aridia, sorry about this month, but best of luck for November, and to any of the ladies who are hopping on that bus too x. I'm 9dpo here, and just feeling so up and down it's crazy, am googling like mad here, doing that symptom spotting that everyone talks about. I was cold yesterday, found a thread online about how feeling cold was a sign, and that was it, nearly had the maternity jeans out of storage Grin. I don't think I was this crazy when TTC no.1! This is our first cycle TTC no.2, so I know it is early days. I'm dying to test, but it's way too early. Will see how things go over wkend.

Fingerscrossedandfairydust · 12/10/2017 14:50

AF was due this morning but no sign as yet. Hopes up but BBT now below the cover line so chances slim, I know!! Pretty sure I am on to the November bus....

NimbleKnitter · 12/10/2017 15:30

I’ve just started TWW. Trying not to get hopes up (even though FF gave me a gold star for shagging this month 😇).

But ovulated overnight between CD11 and CD12. Borderline too short follicular phase (although period started mid afternoon on CD-1 so maybe not so bad).

Entering serious hopeful twat territory

60sname · 12/10/2017 16:53

10dpo here and symptom-spotting with a vengeance! Have gone off chocolate and everyone seems to be bathing in their perfume at work, like last time, so am cautiously optimistic.

Have also taken some standard tests early, fairly pointless I know.

Good luck to everyone testing this week

coastalchick · 12/10/2017 19:21

Not yet ovulated according to CB digital but 3rd day of flashing smiley and IC had a dark line (not quite as dark as control line but not far off). DTD again tonight so now that's Tues and tonight. Making OH come home before his boys night out tomorrow to DTD again then we will do it saturday and poss sunday and hope we've caught it.

39, (OH 34), no kids, MMC end August at almost 10 weeks though got pg first go. Desperately wanting this before we are out of time.

meow1989 · 12/10/2017 21:40

Took a few test this evening (🙄) husband not convinced. Can't post here as reached limit but have posted separately. Now what do I do?!

Ceh11 · 13/10/2017 06:37

Hi ladies! I’m new here smile

Also new to the 2ww! On honeymoon and this is our first round of TTC. AF is due in the next 3-5 days, but I’m hopeful for a successful first round as I’ve had lots of symptoms for the last week or so:

Nausea
Upset stomach
REALLY bloated
Lots of gas
Lots of clear, slippery & wet CM, now starting to turn a bit creamy...

Took a HPT yesterday morning which was BFN, am I mad to still have hope for this cycle?

Feel like I’m going a little crazy over here, so it’s nice to be able to chat to people in a similar situation.

Lots of baby dust for all those trying this month too!

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 13/10/2017 16:45

Not sure what's going on with my CM. We've been DTD a lot this past week or so as my app says it my fertile week, and I've never had such wet CM before! When I got to work this morning it had soaked through to my tights. Lovely.

meow1989 · 13/10/2017 20:30

What do we think? 😶

MyEternalSunshine · 13/10/2017 20:59

Wow! Positive meow!! Congrats Flowers

meow1989 · 13/10/2017 21:32

Thank you! Husband cautiously happy tonight but I don't think either of us will believe it till I miss af... is it normal to feel like that? I'm aware that so many early pregs end in miscarriage before period even due so I think I'm mentally protecting myself with disbelief 🤔

81Josie · 14/10/2017 07:35

Congratulations Meow. That's great news

I'm on holiday in Italy. AF isn't due until Tuesday but I've started spotting so looks like I'm hoping on the November bus. AF is such a bitch this month, why couldn't she have waited until I got home on Sunday? Still I shall console myself with coupious pizza and prosecco

Sukiella · 14/10/2017 08:34

Congratulations Meow, a definite lineSmile Lovely news!

Flatwhite31 · 14/10/2017 09:01

Congrats @meow1989. Miscarriage can happen any time. Mine was at 12 weeks. You can't ever really chill out in pregnancy unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure I'm out. 10 dpo and a very white BFN on an internet cheapie. Really gutted, as I'm pretty sure I haven't conceived since my MMC due to the stress and depression from it.

Flatwhite31 · 14/10/2017 10:09

Sorry to hear that @PumpkinPatch000 and @Aridia. I'm pretty sure I'll be joining you both too! Ugh.

Charchar23 · 14/10/2017 13:50

Hi all!!!
Mind if I hop on??
I'm 24
TTC #1
3rd month of trying, skipped September as i was suffering bad anxiety, probably why I didn't conceive in July or August ! But I'm getting help and it's Now under control and I'm a lot happier!!!
Took OpK on the 9/10/17, 10/10/17 and 11/10/17, all 3 had a line, but the 11/10/17 was the strongest one, not as strong as control line but easy to see! But ran out of tests so that was that haha. My app says I ovulate on 12th! Which would make me about 2dpo!
So I'm now in the 2ww which I hate! But I'm just going to try to forget about it and not think about it!

PickettBowtruckles · 14/10/2017 17:05

Hi all - space for another on the bus?

TTC #1, I'm 24 but have been on hormonal contraception for past 8 years so really worried how this is going to affect us!

I was on the evra patch for the past 3 years (pill before that) and took my last patch off a couple of weeks ago, had my period and this week has been the first week with nothing. Using the Ovia app to keep track of things and I'm sure it's not going to happen straight away but thought I'd jump hopefully on the bus anyway!

We've spoken about TTC lots recently and thought we'd wait until the new year but this week had a chat and just decided we know we both want a baby so whats the point in delaying trying for a few months!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 14/10/2017 17:09

Oh I forgot to update this. 12dpo atm, due on tomorrow. The strip is from yesterday morning, the midstream one is this morning's Smile
