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!

Congratulations to the bfp's!

I'm going round in circles 🤦🏻‍♀️
98% sure not pregnant.
But had some early spotting and cramping. 4 days early, for a couple of days. It went away. Tmi sorry... but got a tiny bit of light brown stringy spotting 🤔
And due today/tomorrow. Usually have more obvious signs by now. Tested Friday. Bfn.

On progesterone which I'm sure is delaying af. But I can't stop taking it in case I am pregnant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow congrats to all the bfps! Amazing day! @ReginaPhalange89 I could have written your post word for word as I am exactly at the same stage as you today! Same DPO, did test, squinted at it on and off all day convincing myself there's a line DP thinks I'm batty. He may have a point. Hugs to all who are boarding the next bus. I know it's sucks. But, we go again. Baby dust to all xxx
To the poster below me, sorry forgotten your username and can't see it as I type on the app on my phone - but I was in your position last month and it's infuriating. I did a gazillion tests before AF finally turned up 10 days late. I even had a faint BFP on CD 41 of a 32 day cycle, only for AF to show the next day. Was awful being stuck in limbo like that. Hugs.

@Wishful30 I'm in a similar position. I've never ever skipped a period in my whole life. Missed it this month 4 days of extremely light pink spotting, BFNs on every test. Dunno if I'm coming or going at this point! Trying to hold off testing til Monday.

Another negative test for me this morning and I'm expecting to start spotting today as that's my usual pattern. My temps are still quite high but I think my body's just trolling me.

Oh KinCat

I'm sorry, @KinCat . Our bodies play cruel tricks sometimes. It can be so, so disappointing. Lots of love.

@KinCat so sorry you got a negative test. How many dpos are you?

So sorry to hear that Kincat. This TTC business is so hard.

I’m going to go and lurk on the November bus, though as I haven’t ovulated I’ve got no idea when I’ll be on the next cycle 🙄

I wish I hadn't started testing so early! I see now why people advise you not to, it's messing with my head. I keep getting faint lines but they're not getting stronger (and often disappear completely) so I don't know.

I'll go and get a blood test next week - there's a doctor just opposite where I work so I can pop in quite easily.

Yeah testing early May give a BFP (or a squniter) but it's no guarantee it will stick

@ReginaPhalange89 and @MakeAWhish I'm the same DPO as you I think. Desperate to test but holding off today, I think I'll cave tomorrow though. DH is insisting I can't test until Thursday the bastard.

My boobs are sore, which is quite unusual a week before AF, normally it's the day before. I didn't have any of my usual Ov symptoms so I've got no idea if / when I Ov'd when I expected to. I HATE THE 2WW

Feeling annoyed today! Sister & mum, usually very supportive about TTC and I tell them everything decided last night to argue about when you can get pg during your cycle. Apparently I’m wrong, it’s not just 6 days a cycle it’s every day and babies should be made from love not charting. I’m not even charting just using OPKs. Feeling annoyed!! Wish they’d just bloody google it and see for themselves!!

Hi all-congratulations to all these BFP-ers. I have had a few bad experiences with some tests in the past so want to stick to clear blue digitals from now on and notice many of you are using them. May I ask how many DPO they showed you were pregnant? How soon did you take them? I know they arent as sensitive-how long do I need to wait to use them? Thanks everyone and good luck.

Hi @mouse1234567 I got a BFP on a CB digital with weeks indicator (the one you can take 4 or 5 days before AF) at 11dpo last month. X

@ronniemipperton I will probably be joining you shortly but also toying with giving the buses a miss for a while to help my sanity.

@sbhf1987 that sounds so frustrating. I find talking to people about ttc really difficult. People think it should be so sensible and leaves me feeling a bit mental. That's why MN has been such a help!

That should say so simple^!

Gut ache today. Brown spotting again.
Pretty sure the witch is here today. Gonna poas in a bit to be sure, and then stop taking my progesterone.

Spoke to fertility clinic for advice on what to do that s cycle, and a copy of all my results.
Nurse said computers were down so would send next week. That's fine, but what about the cd2 scan they want to do?! I give up with them. Such a waste of money in my eyes. Only going for the third IUI at some point as I've paid for it. So uncertain about all the extra hormones.

@veeboo I know my sis got pg by accident with her DS & mum had 4 and got pg literally the day she wanted to and because I’m related to them obv I should be the same 🙄

@mouse1234567 the earliest I would usually test is the day AF is actually due. The test may/may not pick up earlier than that but having experienced CPs in the past I am now a real believer in waiting. This month I waited to 6 days late just to be sure as last CP happened a week after due date. I totally understand the excitement and the frustration of the TWW but having faint lines and positives prior to AF being due and then AF showing up is really upsetting and, for me, I decided to wait as long as I could. I think they can show up about 4 days before due but level of accuracy is not so great. Fingers crossed for you.

When you're laying in a hot bath, with full on af cramps waiting for the inevitable, and all you can hear is next doors new born baby crying 😣

@twosecs I've got lots of the little cheap strips so I can see myself just testing every day until my period is due 🙈 took one again this morning after telling myself I'd watk, obviously another negative , although again I squint and am sure I can see the faintist line lol!

Urgh urgh urgh heart is breaking at seeing a friend on FBs posts about her pregnancy and all the little clothes and nursery stuff they are buying

Ah @Wishful30 I feel your pain x

Wishful30 and TwittleBee sorry, that sucks.

ReginaPhalange89 if youre only doing one test a day you're doing well! I think I've gone through five today 🙃

So sorry @Wishful30 💐 I hope AF cramps pass soon enough x.
