Too early for an October bus?

[loveshinealight]

My AF arrived yesterday so I'm off the September bus already

Cycle #2
Trying for baby #2
Age 33

This month I am going to track my cycle using ovulation strips. DTD lots last month so I'm gutted but onwards and upwards!

Did a cheapy this morning... BFN 🙁

@sbhf1987 - glad you are starting to feel a bit better

Af got me today, 2 days early again so I seem to have 26 day cycles at the moment which I'm not sure is great.
Will hang around as next af is due at the end of this month.

@loveshinealight thank you, think starting again is a good idea or waiting is just going to make me keep thinking about it. X

8dpo just did a cheapie bfn of course. Someone tie my hands together 🙈

@Soberfutures good luck for retesting
@sbhf1987 glad you feel able to look forwards a little
@muddypuddlejumping sorry AF got you. Short cycles aren't always a bad thing... I conceived DS first cycle with a 21 day cycle.
I started spotting yesterday. AF not due until Friday but this isn't usually a good sign...

Just thought I would update, currently on CD13 due Ov on CD16 on the sleep at work tonight so have used OPKS today but did use them yesterday and it was negative but lime darker then day before, hoping I haven’t missed OV whilst been at work but my annual leave starts tomorrow until the 10th! So hopefully I’m still in with a chance this month! X

I’ll also check spelling in future! It’s been a long 16 hour shift 🙈

AIDE2424 you going anywhere on holiday?

Muddypuddlejumping sorry about AF. I'm like you with short cycles. I'd prefer short cycles to long but when I start spotting at 9dpo I feel less happy about it.

I'm crossing my fingers my follicular phase can make it to 14 days this cycle! DH has agreed that a 2am shag when he gets back from his work trip Saturday morning is a good idea! Hoping we can just catch the egg...(due to ovulate Friday or saturday)

@Soberfutures fx for you
@sbhf1987 glad you are doing ok. Just do what feels right and don't be too hard on yourself
@muddypuddlejumping sorry AF got you.

Af due tomorrow! I'm so nervous!
If it doesn't arrive I'm going to test on weds morning- anybody else have the same dates??

Retested twice and both BFN still no AF but don't think it's gonna happen this month. Fingers crossed for all still on the bus. X

Just got day 8 of flashing smiley....gah! I know that CB say to stop if you get to 9 days, seems pointless to keep testing now but I am slightly wondering if I missed it around day 16 as that was the only day I saw any EWCM, and had quite intense pain that I thought was ovulation...temps are all over the place (but I'm not very consistent) and I'm super stressed at work so not sure if that's affected it.

Any chance I could have missed it and the CB just keeps registering as high but no peak? Is that a more reasonable explanation than that I'm still waiting to ovulate on day 22 when I'm usually around 18/19?
We only DTD on day 15 and then yesterday on day 21 as DP was away, so not holding out much hope for this month

@toomanyflatwhites I got a static smiley in day 27... anything is possible. I think I was stressed when I originally was meant to ovulate and it delayed it. Test again and just make sure you dtd. Did you dtd around cd16 anyway?

Thanks @veeboo! I was wondering what day you were on when you got the static - and how many days flashing did you have? I have been more stressed than ever before at work so wondering if that has knocked my schedule off. Told DP that stress affects ovulation and he thinks I'm making it up!!

And thankfully we DTD on day 15 but had a comedy of errors between then and day 21 (thanks toddler...) so it's not ideal, but you never know!

@toomanyflatwhites I had the static after 6 days of flashing. It was cd27 so something defo gone 'wrong' as previous longest cycle was 33 and now I'm looking at 40. Keep the faith I'd say. The tests are reliable...It's us that vary!

@mrss2018 am due on Wed. Good luck in the morning!

You too @MuddyElephant

6 dpo today. I think my boobs are usually sore by this stage in my cycle but they aren’t yet. Hoping this is a good sign. Starting to wish I’d tracked my usual pre AF symptoms a bit better the last few months as I can’t remwmber what’s normal or not! I’m determined not to test till I’m late but will see how that pans out

@GiGi18 I'm the same! 6dpo... just want time to fast forward to I can test 😆

*so

10 days post ovulation and a BFN. Not a good sign 🙁

@Nell90x aw cycle buddy! it’s going so slow! Hoping for a busy week at work for once, haha. When you planning to test?

@GiGi18 I'm trying to be good and not test too early, but I don't know if I'll be able to help myself! I'm tempted to test on Wednesday with a sensitive one and then if that's negative maybe just wait for AF to arrive/ not arrive. I know I shouldn't test too soon as I'll be setting myself up for negatives 🙈 what about you? When are you thinking of testing?

@Nell90x it’s so tempting isn’t it? Especially with the early ones. I am going to try so hard and be good and not test till I’m late but come the weekend I’ll have prob caved. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Have you had any symptoms? I’ve had none apart from being tired but that also coincides with a long haul flight so prob just jet lag.
