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

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!

Morning ladies first flashing smiley today CD12, so a day later than usual. Hoping to not get too many flashing smileys this month! For those that use CB Adv OPKs and test twice a day what times do you test? I usually only test once but thinking of testing twice this month x

Rightnow1245 · 04/10/2018 11:50

sbhf1987 we are on the same day 😊 I know I won’t get my positive on my opk yet as I ovulate a little later than you! I do test twice a day as I find I was missing my surge if I tested once a day.. I test arounf 11am and 10pm x

SophiePie · 04/10/2018 12:48

@Rightnow1245 Welcome aboard!

@toomanyflatwhites Personally, I would overwrite them as I'd be too curious what the new pattern would be- there could be more clues, etc. Hopefully you won't be needing it for next month- fingers crossed!

Kelzshandalot · 04/10/2018 13:03

I’ve bought the Clearblue digital and I’ve gave them to my manny to stop me from peeing on them till Sunday 🤦‍♀️

Kelzshandalot · 04/10/2018 13:04

Oops wrong post 😵

stormtrooperjulian · 04/10/2018 13:15

Af arrived yesterday, 3 days early. Staying on this bus though as I'm due again at the end of Oct. Fingers crossed for everyone in the tww at the moment!

SophiePie · 04/10/2018 13:17

@toomanyflatwhite Just took a moment to put my unadjusted numbers into a bbt chart to see how different it would be compared to my current chart.

On the left is the adjusted. On the right is the unadjusted. It looks so different! It's worth noting too that the unadjusted marked me as ovulating much, much earlier than I actually did. Hope this helps

@Stormtrooperjulian Sorry to hear that Sad Flowers. Hope the next cycle will be the lucky one for you Brew [bicuit]

Rightnow1245 · 04/10/2018 13:42

Thanks soohiepie 😊
stormtrooperjulian sorry to hear that! Good luck with the next cycle x

sbhf1987 · 04/10/2018 15:17

@Rightnow1245 I don’t have any EWCM yet so think I might be a bit later this month too following my MC a couple of weeks ago. Ov’d CD14 last month, 16 the month before and 18 the month before that so could be anytime from 14 I think this month xx

AIDE2424 · 04/10/2018 15:27

Just thought I would post this link incase any one uses these kinds of test, would hate for someone to get a false result ☹️

AF got me this morning Sad

feverbee · 04/10/2018 17:58

AF has arrived 🙈 on to cycle 3. Due again 30th October so I might not have missed the October bus! We're going to try eating better this cycle, exercising more and drinking less alcohol. I've also just started taking pregnancy vitamins. Has anything else helped for you gals?

EverythingNow · 04/10/2018 18:26

11dpo and I've started bleeding 2 or 3days early 😢 not going to kid myself that it's anything other than an early AF.

Not surprised but bitterly disappointed. Next cycle is cycle 18, I keep thinking that I should be 27 weeks by now from my loss in April and I've not had any luck since.

TwittleBee · 04/10/2018 19:05

EverythingNow oh hun, I am so sorry. It's so hard and so cruel. I really hope that this either is implantation (Are you sure you are 11dpo as luteal phases don't change length so either or are later than 11dpo if AF is early or this really could be implantation bleeding) or I hope that next cycle is for you

TwittleBee · 04/10/2018 19:08

feverbee looks like we are twins then as same for me! I am on cycle 14 though! Erm, It feels like I have tried it all apart from Pre-seed lube and the Seven Seas Trying For a Baby pills, I'm trying both this cycle so hope it makes a difference!

Saw that my bloody arch nemesis from High School is bloody pregnant, she does announced it this afternoon. Urgh. Hate how bitter I am feeling

ronniemipperton · 04/10/2018 19:08

@toomanyflatwhites sorry for your loss too. It sucks. (And why do all bbt thermometers make such an annoying noise?!)

Thanks @KinCat. I have been telling DH when I’m ovulating but might stop mentioning it. I think he’ll know anyway after all this time (or have an idea at least) but hopefully not mentioning it will take the pressure off a bit.

Nell90x · 04/10/2018 19:49

I'm sorry sorry that AF has arrived for some of you ladies.
I'm currently 9dpo... keep thinking I'm feeling dull aching, but trying to also not get my hopes up. I tried a FRER yesterday- negative. Knew I shouldn't have tested early, but got carried away (1st cycle, TTC #1) going to wait to see if AF arrives now, due on the 11th. It's such a mix of emotions.

PaintingOwls · 04/10/2018 19:56

Oh I'm sorry TwittleBee I cried when I found out a friend was pregnant- and I liked her! Can't imagine how tough it must be when you don't like the person Flowers

Lubilu28 · 04/10/2018 19:57

This is way tmi but I thought I could see a hint of pink in my cm so I inserted a finger and wiped it on a tissue and it’s definitely light pink blood :( I usually spot day before af so that would make it right on time!!

🤞🏻 For the next bus and only cycle 4 😔!!

Good luck ladies xxx

Wishful30 · 04/10/2018 20:28

Roughly 4dpo (going by the previous 18+ cycles 🙄)
I've taken it upon myself to take the progesterone prescribed for my next IUI.
On the off chance I do conceive, I don't want to find out too late and have another chemical that I will feel I could have avoided.

When's everyone due to test?

sbhf1987 · 04/10/2018 21:17

I haven’t even ovulated yet, but think I’ll test Monday 21st if AF hasn’t arrived. My nephew is 2 on 31st and i’d love to be able to tell my DH, parents and siblings I’ve got another bfp after my m/c on his bday xx

muddypuddlejumping · 04/10/2018 22:15

So sorry to hear of all the af arrivals.
I'm still on this bus as I have another shot at it this month. Due to start my fertile window at the end of the weekend so have got some ic ovulation sticks to try. This will be a new experience though as with DC1 we conceived first cycle.

Rightnow1245 · 05/10/2018 00:15

sbhf1987 sorry to hear about you mc 😢

This TTC business is very stressful! Really feel for you ladies who have been TTC for a while.. let hope it happens for us all soon x
