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.

Solid smiley for us today fingers crossed for all our BFP next month. X

meow1989 · 16/09/2017 11:21

Can I hop on the bus please? Tested this morning with a frer (due on in 4 days) and bfn so think I'm out for September.

Age: 28
ttc: #1
Cycle: 2 (3 but we were more not preventing for the first month)

Mrshand123 · 16/09/2017 11:39

I hope you don't mind me joining, I'm due on tomorrow and got pms symptoms, extremely hungry, mood swings, cramps but also headaches.
I hope it happens soon. X

Aph413 · 16/09/2017 11:53

Bubble I hope he sticks with his choice for you now.
Still no peak opk in my camp. Dtd every night of what I think my fertile window is though, other wise I have no idea when AF is due this month. Really not enjoying figuring out my cycles

Bubble04 · 16/09/2017 12:32

@Aph413 I hope so too! He's always found it difficult to make decisions. He finds it really scary (he has anxiety). Once things happen he's really good, and I know he'd be over the moon. It's just that first step that he finds hard.

Bubble04 · 16/09/2017 12:34

@Aph413 which OPK are you using? I've tried doing my cycles, but they're all over the place. According to OPK I've ovulated 4 days earlier than Ovia predicted, and my temp is up and down like a yoyo. So confusing...

Aph413 · 16/09/2017 13:05

Fingers crossed for you bubble I've really suffered with anxiety innthe past so I can understand how nerve wracking it can be.
I'm using clear blue digital. Figured they should be fool proof, I've been temping as well and fertility friend is telling me I'm at my most fertile. No ewcm yet that I can tell but it is watery so I assume I've just got to keep on testing and dtd until something happens.
Not convinced anything will happen on my first cycle but the whole process is confusing. Luckily we're both enjoying it for now.

BeautifulLiar · 16/09/2017 14:56

Can I join please? I'm supposed to start my pill again today but I'm not going to :)

I'm 28 and this would be baby #5 (!), although my first with DP

Hardheadedwoman39 · 16/09/2017 15:41

Hi @BeautifulLiar

I'm trying for #3 with a new DP - I'm wondering if it'll be different as I was hospitalised with sickness before (the kate Middleton thing Sad)

Some people say it can change with a new partner......

BeautifulLiar · 16/09/2017 15:45

HardHeaded I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I had terribly morning sickness with my first four and then got pregnant with DP's baby in March this year, but the sickness was so bad I ended up having a termination :( this time DP is going to have time off work to help look after me and the children. I keep thinking about what stage of pregnancy I'd be etc if I had kept our baby

Hardheadedwoman39 · 16/09/2017 16:16

@BeautifulLiar that's so so tough, mine was completely debilitating and I wished I want pregnant at times - which then makes you feel guilty...

I used to black out when sick which is not practical with a toddler I discovered so I understand the need for you to plan to have your partner there.

Fingers crossed for us both...although I have t even made it happen yet!

BeautifulLiar · 16/09/2017 16:46

Same here Hard. It does seem like VERY early days but we have to be prepared for this! I have an 18 month old which I feel guilty about already, but she'll never remember and a playmate would be great (her next eldest sibling is almost 5)

Can I hope on the bus?

Age: 29
TTC: #1
Cycle: 1

AF is due on Oct 1st but we may have left TTC a bit late this month as we literally started yesterday which is when I was due to be ovulating. I've explained to DH that it's very unlikely to have worked this month and that next month we need to DTD in the days leading up to ovulation, but we both felt it was worth a quick go this month at least!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/09/2017 13:31

AF has just arrived so I'll park myself here with you lovelies

TTC: #1
Cycle: 2

BFP due: 15th, apparently

Hardheadedwoman39 · 17/09/2017 13:42

Although we only started TTC last Friday I have already ordered FRER tests, they've come with two stick tests. They say 'test as soon as you think you're pregnant'?!?

Has anyone used them before?

Hardheadedwoman39 · 17/09/2017 13:43

Hello @UnicornsandRainbows1 Smile

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/09/2017 13:49

@Hardheadedwoman39 Hellooooo! Thanks for the welcome Grin

Poptart4 · 17/09/2017 14:57

Hi everyone, I recognise afew of you from a previous 2ww thread. According to my ovulation tests I had my surge yesterday which is 2/3 days earlier then my app said I'd ovulate. Luckily we've been dtd all week plus will dtd today and tomorrow.

Ttc#4
Cycle #2 after getting mirena removed at the start of August
AF due 2nd Oct

I became a bit obsessive last cycle. Reading too much into every symptom. Googleing everything. Poas way too early. I used 7/8 pregnancy tests. This month I'm taking it easy. I have one frer left from last month and I won't be using it until at least the 1st Oct. If I can last that long lol

SpongeCake23 · 17/09/2017 17:51

Please please let it be the month 😔 I've just had to endure FaceTime with my partner's niece and nephew. I'm desperately trying not to be jealous but I can't help it. I had to force a smile on my face.
Also I work with little kids everyday so it makes this so much harder.
I've been buying little clothes for my best friend's baby shower this weekend Sad

Bubble04 · 17/09/2017 18:14

@SpongeCake23 I know, it's horrible isn't it. Spent yesterday with my friend looking at baby clothes, then all of today knitting a baby cardigan. Wish it was for mine! We'll get there though. xxx

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 17/09/2017 18:30

I know what you mean. We've only just starting trying because of life circumstances, but we've now got our 18mo nephew and several close friends are having babies in the next few weeks and months. I really want to be one of them!

hoopdeloop · 17/09/2017 19:12

Can I jump on? Just decided yesterday to start trying for number 2! Feeling a bit nervous cos I was quite ill last time.

Age: 28
TTC: #2
Cycle:#1
AF due: 4/10

I have no idea what I'm doing! I'm using Ovia because I used that last time and within about6 cycles i was pregnant. Going to start tracking temperature but I've forgotten what to look for!

Also, is there a handy list for abbreviations? I know POAS, TTC and AF xxx

MyAmTrying · 17/09/2017 21:29
