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!

@Wishful30 & @TwittleBee hope you both feel better soon, it’s horrible isn’t it. I’m having a down day today. Slowest TWW ever. Just not sure how I’m going to feel either way this month after my mc. I want to test on Friday at 10dpo but don’t know if I will x

Beeseeinya · 14/10/2018 16:15

Still hanging on to this bus for dear life! I agree, this was the longest 2 weeks ever.
Due AF today, tomorrow. Feel rotten inside. Tested today and bfn- are you supposed to use fmu?
90% sure it ain't happening this month. Though I've spotted every symptom going!

Newbie21 · 14/10/2018 16:49

@Beeseeinya yes you are supposed to use FMU. Not out until the witch arrives. Fingers crossed for you and others in the TWW x

sbhf1987 · 14/10/2018 17:06

Spotting now at 5dpo, sure this means I’m out as this has only happened twice, once was BFN around this time but last month I spotted from 7 days and got my BFP. Too early for implantation at 5dpo 💔 . Went to the pub for a roast, 2 new babies and happy mothers. Of course I am so happy for them and who knows what they’ve been through to get there it just hurts. DH is being amazing even though I know it does hurt him just as much. At home with the fire on now x

veeboo · 14/10/2018 17:21

I am also still clinging onto the October bus as AF hasn't arrived. It's been such a long weird cycle. I got a positive opk CD 26 so assuming I ovulated CD27 she should be here (now cd 42) and with lots of cramping I expected her. If she doesn't come this eve am I crazy to do a test in the morning? Or just torturing myself? I'm absolutely shattered!

TwittleBee · 14/10/2018 18:14

Any chances you could be 6dpo sbhf1987 really hope it turns out to be good spotting.

veeboo I think it makes to test in the morning!!! FX!!!

DH and I just managed to do the quickest session ever between putting DS to bed and DH heading off to his night shift! Feels so odd laying here with legs up on my own!

veeboo · 14/10/2018 18:28

@twittlebee LOL! Not just me who puts legs in the air then! DP thinks I'm nuts

TwittleBee · 14/10/2018 18:32

veeboo I didn't use to, this is first cycle I am! Previously I wasn't bothering because there was research showing it made no difference but 12 months later I'm trying it all hahaha!

sbhf1987 · 14/10/2018 18:57

@TwittleBee possibly if I ovulated the day of my LH surge, I tested at 7pm on 7th and it was flashing and about 8am on 8th and then it was fixed. So if I ovulated on 8th I could be 6dpo. Just thinking it may be messed up due to my mc last month. Always stressful seeing spotting 😭 x

Peonie89 · 14/10/2018 19:15

congratulations to all the BFP. I'm out now I thin. AF decided to show up a week early. my cycles have been 35-40 days since coming off the pill in March - this month I am on day 28 and have all the symptoms of AFs arrival (spotting, cramps and desperate need for chocolate). Plus side means I won't be on next week when DP and are celebrate our anniversary. Will still check back to see how everyone is getting on and will hop on the November bus now (is there a thread for that already?)

twosecs · 14/10/2018 20:42

@ReginaPhalange89 I'm trying not to test tomorrow but as it's my non working day and I'm home alone I know I'll probably 'accidentally' forget and do at least two anyway.

I'm symptom spotting like mad, convincing myself I am pg, which I know is silly at this point. It took 6m to conceive DC1 and it's all down to luck and timing really.

I'm spotty, boobs hurt (neither happen usually with AF), and I'm in bed at 8:30pm completely shattered. Could just be my brain and body playing tricks on me though! Or because I've been squeezing my boobs every 5 mins to check for tenderness 🙄😂

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/10/2018 20:55

@twosecs 😂😂 I've been doing that too! Every now and then I think oh i think my boobs feel sensitive so I love them a squeeze and nothing 🙈

Im ttc #3 and first was a surprise, second conceived first try, so I'm optimistic this time round ! Which might be a bad thing, probably getting my hopes up too much ! O just have a gut feeling I am. But then again, I convince myself I've won the lottery every time I buy a lottery ticket so..... Maybe not 😂

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/10/2018 20:56

@twosecs should have added, that sounds positive though! Spots, sore boobs and exhaustion!

I felt a bit nauseous earlier on but probably just coincidence

MakeAWhish · 14/10/2018 21:01

@ReginaPhalange89 @twosecs you two are like me haha! I've been squeezing my boobs so much tonight, DP asked me if I was trying to turn him on Confused
I keep saying I won't test til Wednesday, but I know that's a total lie. I'll be doing 2 a day, and I know I will Grin

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/10/2018 21:07

@makeawhish I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂 what tests are you both using ? Just the cheap strips ? I've just counted and I've got 8 left ! So I'm just going to do one each morning with fmu! And then if I think I've got a line I'll get a frer haha

sbhf1987 · 14/10/2018 21:31

Well I’ve just ordered 4 FRER’s to arrive Tuesday. I’m at a spa all day though so won’t use them. I think I’m 5dpo but have read some people ovulate the day of their LH surge so if I’m one of those people then I’m maybe 6dpo clutching at straws so Weds would make me 8/9dpo, although I would like to think I’ll wait til Thurs, chances are I won’t and I’ll get a BFN but I’m seriously struggling this month after my BFP last month 😭💔

veeboo · 15/10/2018 04:50

BFN for me. Not sure what has happened to my body this month x

KinCat · 15/10/2018 05:29

Another BFN for me this morning too (10dpo). I'm not hopeful cause my "positive" tests which I've been seeing off and on since 6dpo are still not consistent plus I had a huge temp drop this morning (pic is my yesterday 9dpo test which show a line but it doesn't come up on every test and fmu this morning was so so negative).

I haven't started spotting yet which is a good thing cause normally I start at 9dpo.

Too early for an October bus?
MakeAWhish · 15/10/2018 06:51

BFN here too (either 8 or 9 DPO) My boobs are sore, and last night I dreamt vividly about sharks and oceans, which I convinced myself was a symptom GrinHey ho, will leave it now til weds when AF due.

KinCat · 15/10/2018 07:11

...and now I've started spotting. I guess it could be implantation bleeding (although a bit late for that if I've already had a positive test?) plus this happens every cycle.

ReginaPhalange89 · 15/10/2018 07:14

8dpo, can't control myself so also took a test 🙈 obviously negative. It's literally all I can think about now. These next few days are going to draaaaag

veeboo · 15/10/2018 07:14

Ah ladies you're far too early. Please dont drive yourselves crazy. I am jumping off the bus as AF should have arrived this weekend so a BFN is pretty conclusive.

MakeAWhish · 15/10/2018 07:16

@veeboo I know, I can't help myself! It's stupidly early. Am really going to sit on my hands til Wednesday now (10/11dpo)

ReginaPhalange89 · 15/10/2018 07:41

I'm not even going to say I'll wait because I know I won't 🙈
Hi, I'm Regina Phalange and I'm a POAS addict 🙋

I think I got my bfp at 10dpo with my last baby so i just know I won't hold off lol

MakeAWhish · 15/10/2018 08:04

@ReginaPhalange89 I think I was 10 DPO with both my precious babies too 🙈
