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!

Good news @twittlebee. Yep those tests can vary based on time of day and how hydrated you are. Are you testing once or twice a day?

Still no AF here. I now think I must have ov ulated later than I thought and we've missed it as we dtd on CD 27 (day after static smiley) so so should have got a BFP or AF by now and I have neither! Wondering whether to test again tomorrow As I'm clearly still holding hope but given all the cramping I think I'm just kidding myself.

veeboo I test twice a day. Used them at the start of out TTC#2 journey and found them easy peasy to use for the first 7 cycles I used them for. Just this cycle through me off a bit. I usually only see a positive OPK in the evenings so ill do my usual 8pm test later. Hopefully even if you did Ov later the sperm would have still been about so maybe BFP still on its way

MakeAWhish oh bless you! Why do we do it to ourselves ey?

FF changed my ov day based on my temps so i am pushed back 2 days to 6dpo. Now the longest TWW ever 😂 already poas to give me something to do this am! Didn't even check it until I came home this eve

7dpo or 8 if I’m still holding onto ovulating the day of my peak smiley 🙄 I am still spotting although it is still brown no red yet. Had some sticky stringy CM tinged with brown bits (sorry TMI) today. 4 FRER’s also arrived in the post. So tempted to test tomorrow morning, will try to wait til Thurs as I’m already convinced I’m out this month with all this spotting. Was hoping I was one of these lucky ladies that gets a bfp straight after a mc 💔

@sbhf1987 it's so confusing isn't it? I am convinced i am out because of my cramps and a BFN but where the bloody hell is AF?! I've just realised I've been on this bus since @loveshinealight started it in the 3rd September!

@veeboo I hate TTC it makes me want to just give up x

@sbhf1987 me too. You are not alone in this. It's why we have the bus xx

@veeboo it really does help being able to rant and speak to those who understand. Xx

Got a BFN this morning, looking back even at 16dpo I only had a faint line with my first DC, so I'm going to try and skip tomorrow and try Thurs instead, had two more tests turn up today so if I only test Thursday and Saturday I'll hopefully have an answer by then!

🤞🏻🤞🏻 everyone still in the running

@twosecs and anyone else with DC already...Did you get cramps before you got bfp? If I ovulated the day after my clearblue static I am 17dpo today. But I have had cramps nearly everyday since 7dpo. I normally get them for a couple of days a week before AF and then the day before. I'm also having a ridiculously long cycle. Surely the clear blue static wasn't wrong?!

veebo i didn't get cramps as such but definitely got implantation pains which felt different to AF cramps. More like a pinching sensation in uterus area and strangely in the lower back area. I've heard loads of people say theirs felt like AF cramps though so it's possible

@veeboo I had cramps that felt exactly like af coming.

@veeboo I was looking back at the old mumsnet thread when i got pregnant first time around and I had cramps and all my usual AF symptoms up to about 20dpo. I was due on at around 14dpo but didn't get a BFP until 16dpo which was still really light!

Hang on in there!! It won't be long! I announced I was out about 10 times before coming back to say I'd finally got a positive 😂

@veeboo I had very slight cramps just like AF cramps but not as constant or painful. I didn't test until I was 20DPO. I don't want to give false hope (although I'm very hopeful for you) but maybe try not to test until the weekend and then take a test then if no AF. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi all CD44 and no AF and a BFN. Thanksbfornall your adv8fe but must just be a strange cycle. Hope she comes soon!

Obviously that should say thanks for all your advice!

I had this last month @veeboo . It's so frustrating, I feel your pain. X

Soooo, 10dpo, did an FRER, negative. Dipped an IC into same pee, and have a faint positive?! Thoughts?!

Can you see it?

@MakeAWhish I can see something there, but I would have thought that with the frer being slightly more sensitive that would have showed something if there was something to show? Do you have another frer for tomorrow morning?

8dpo today, caved and did a FRER couldn’t have been whiter lol. Woke up and my brown spotting now appears to look like watery fresh blood so think AF was more than likely just warning me early, like 4dpo early that she was coming this month 😡

I can see something @MakeAWhish! Fingers crossed an FRER tomorrow is clearer.

Can I belatedly join the bus? Just coming out of fertile window - today or tomorrow. AF generally comes 10dpo. Hope to see more good news stories!

There is so something there MakeAWhish !!! Getting so excited for you. FX it's sticky

sbhf1987 oh no! I really hope it is just implantation bleeding

Hey there RMarieClaire FX for you!!

So my OPK this morning was borderline positive! Expecting a Positive tonight for sure! So excited as we have so DTD plenty this month and we've tried ConceivePlus too.

Oooooh @MakeAWhish yes I think I can see something! I know they don't always come up in the photos as clearly as you can see with your own eyes - did you try inverting it as well? Keeping everything crossed for you!

Did a FRER this morning and got a positive!! DH is tentatively waiting for the line to get darker because he doesn't know how pregnancy tests work 🙄 my app reckons I'm due 1 July rather than 28 June as I'd thought
