Hello fellow October testers, thanks for setting up the group @mrsmumtobe

I am currently 8/9 DPO and AF due on 8/10. Travelling with work atm, so lots of evenings on my own away from hubby and feel like I am perhaps over analysing every little difference in my body. going insane
last week on 5/6 dpo lots of cramps and 'pulling'. saw people experience this before, but never felt it... weird sensation.
boobs very itchy, like insatiable, have to keep rushing to the bathroom as its very intense.
this is my 4th cycle TTC, with a very early chemical pregnancy in cycle 2. this will be baby number 1.

when would you girls test?? I have been restrained until now and I know the right answer is wait until AF is late.... but I have bought the clear blue early test and dying to do. So AF is due in 7 days!

sending you all good vibes whatever stage on your cycle you are at!!

Hello hello ladies...I'm an October tester yippee although I just want to be pregs now ..AF due on 10/11th October with Ovulation on 26th September so I guess 6dpo...ugh I just can't stop POAS - really want it to be this cycle with us! I would love a June baby and tbh it's just started to really get me down with the waiting. I've got no symptoms apart from slightly heavier boobs but that happens when AF is due anyway!!! Arghhh

thecolonelbumminganugget · 02/10/2017 13:03

Hey everyone. AF due for me sat/Sun, bfn on a frer this morning so I'm not getting my hopes up plus my chart was all over the place this month but ultimately didn't look like I ovulated (No real temp rise). Had quite painful cramping for the last week, I'll do a normal test if AF not here by this time next week I guess.

Wishing the rest of you all the luck and positivity I wish I had for myself!!

AnythingNotEverything · 02/10/2017 13:23

Si1ver! Congratulations!

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 13:26

Thanks AnythingNotEverything!

That's my very first BFP and I'm vascilitating between terrified and super excited.

thecolonelbumminganugget · 02/10/2017 13:28

Apologies si1ver I missed your post when I was having a moan above - massive congratulations! Great stuff, well done you x Flowers

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 13:36

Don't be silly Colonel, thanks for the congratulations and I hope things look up for you.

The only thing that I can identify which was different this month was that I felt super mucusey (tmi) but we honestly had sex three times in my fertile window and didn't bother with lying down afterwards or raising my legs. If honestly given up.

PinkChocolatex · 02/10/2017 13:42

@si1ver congratulations Smile bet you're so excited!!! xx

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 16:11

Congratulations si1ver lovely needs x

user1481271611 · 02/10/2017 18:52

@pinkchocolatex I am due to be testing around 10/11 but am going crazy with wanting to test now Grin this is going to be a looonnngg week. Xx

intelligentPutty · 02/10/2017 19:02

Big big congrats @Si1ver
Must be such a relief for you!! Grin

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 19:19

It's the biggest relief. We basically thought it wasn't going to happen for us as I'm 36 and my husband is nearly 39.

He's been walking around with a huge grin on his face and he's so excited. He keeps saying to me "I'm going to be a dad".

I'm desperate to tell people and keep going back to look at my test.

VJONES1985 · 02/10/2017 19:22

waves I'm 7dpo and having LOADS of symptoms but AF isn't due until Sunday. Am going mad wondering when I should test!!

Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 19:27

Congratulations Si1ver! Soo pleased for you, I'd say it was exactly because you relaxed and 'gave up' that it worked this time! (From my wealth of knowledge Grin Wink

Welcome Colonel, Pink chocolate and ash!

I think people start pots anytime from 2/3 days before af due but if you can wait that long you are better than me! Ive had 3 attempts last week and AF due tomorrow/wed/thur!
Ash, you don't mind my asking, a chemical preg? Is that just a hormonal + but not true Bfp?

Hoping for BFP for all you lot next week!

VJONES1985 · 02/10/2017 19:37

I did a test today, stupidly, and obviously it was a BFN. Am trying not to test again until Thursday but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back

Fatcat17 · 02/10/2017 21:18

I read this thread this morning and was just waiting for some peace tonight to post....I was hoping to be an Oct tester but period unexpectedly arrived today, at least 4 days early! A vague hope it was implant bleeding since I'm about 10dpo but it really does seem like a proper period. Though my boobs are massive which isn't a usual symptom for me. But think I'd be getting my hopes up to think about implantation bleeding. This is so frustrating!! My last few month cycles were 27, 26 then 26 days, then this one is 23. Ggrrrr!! I'm gonna keep following this thread though, good luck everyone!

Wants · 02/10/2017 21:22

Af due on weds😁

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 21:47

Fatcat17 same here. Cycles were consistently 27 days (apart from after my chemical 18m ago when I had a few ransoms) now ttc and it’s getting earlier each month!

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 21:48

That should say randoms! I need to check before I post! Anyway I reckon this cycle will be 24days, bfn today at 9dpo.

Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 22:09

Aw sorry @fatcat, will happen when the time is right I'm sure!
Stay strong VJones, if no AF I am going to test thur also!

peachesarenom · 02/10/2017 22:18

Si1ver congratulations!

AF due on sun for me. I think!

In the middle of the sat night I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in my abdomen. I thought I might be having digestive issues but no problem there.

All last week I had this random feeling in my lower belly (I'm 'curvey') feelings in my muscles from one hip to the other.

I have also not felt very hungry these days which is unusual for me but on sat I couldn't stop eating.

I have been very bloated.

I had a headache on Sat which is also unusual!

Friday night till Sun afternoon I was inctedibly exhausted.

Myself and hubby are trying not to get excited but at this point I can't stop myself! I think I'll be a bit devestated actually if I'm not preggo!

Wants · 03/10/2017 07:49

I feel a bit of a fraud being here as I am not actually ttc. I have been exhausted, feeling sick everyday for a week, pulling and cramping and I've got a stuffy nose. My boobs hurt if Ds tries to feed too. Af is due weds so we shall see. It would be baby number 4. Sending positive vibes to everyone Smile

Upsydasiy · 03/10/2017 10:52

Congratulations @si1ver

Can I join in? Ttc #1
Tested this morning and bfn, got loads symptoms but sure it's just withdrawal from contraceptives 😔
Not sure when to retest. I tested today as I classed myself as late (would be free week) oh has brought me back to earth and reminded me that I normally come on Thursday night and my cycles are bound to be a mess 😱

ash1987 · 03/10/2017 11:49

hey @mrsmumtobe, chem preg is a clinical term for a very early miscarriage (so I am told), I did not even have a BFP. Apparently this is very common, the only reason I detected it was because I was a week early on my period and bled for 2 whole weeks, heavy for about 8 days... I was exhausted to say the least but no pains!!

@si1ver, HUGE HUGE CONGRATS... your journey to this point seems tough, sending lots of positive vibes.

today I am 9/10 DPO and trying all my might not test... hoping to hold out to Thursday morning, AF due Sunday, so hopefully first response more accurate at this point. my pulling, cramping has stopped and the only slight symptom I now have is my boobs are slightly veiny and I think darker... but I never gave them too much attention before this point so I do not know!!!

ash1987 · 03/10/2017 11:53

@peachesarenom your signs all look similar to what I experienced last week also..... I am hoping and praying for us as both our AF due on Sunday.
