November bus

[Chanel05]

Anyone else?
CD1 for me.
Cycle 4
Ttc #1

Well my 8dpo test was very definitely a bfn. I have successfully scratched the early testing itch though, will just wait for AF to turn up now.

Got my first high day on test today! Really didn’t belive it would work. Now trying to wake up DH 🙄🤣🤣

@ronnoemipperton maybe too soon ?

@realitysucks yeah probably. I’m not feeling confident though, it was very much snowy white, no hint of a line. Ah well.

Congrats on the high, hope you’ve succeeded in waking up your DH 😂

@ronniemipperton with my son I tested everyday from 8 dpo and got negative until 12 days dpo so fingers crossed for you x

@realitysucks I won’t give up hope just yet then! Thanks 🙂

Hi, I jumped on the bus at the beginning but haven’t really posted but have been reading, but now AF is 3 days late! I daren’t test just incase😩

Hi @AIDE2424. I recognise you from other buses. Is there a reason you haven't tested yet? I am also keeping quiet as I think technically I'll be on the December bus as AF expected on the 1st/2nd. Just had a static smiley so need to get dtd! I don't know why but I go through so many emotions in a cycle, really wanting to get pregnant but wondering would it be better if it was next month. This month I'm fretting about not wanting an August baby but not wanting to wait in case it doesn't happen. I think I'm going crazy!

AF just turned up for me 😭 see some of you on the December bus 👋🏼

just didn’t want the disappointment of another BFN however I’ve just tested and I’ve finally got my BFP 😍

Congrats @AIDE2424 !! How long have you been trying? Xx

@bunhead34 Been trying over a year just been going through all the fertility tests at the minute and supposed to have a ultra sound Wednesday to check everything’s okay so keeping my fingers crossed it sticks 🤞🏻

Congratulations @AIDE2424!

Thankyou! I’ve just done 3 more tests to double check and all positive and a positive on a CB 1-2 weeks! Keeping finger crossed for everyone else!xx

congrats @AIDE2424 you must be thrilled!!!

@veeboo I go through similar emotions...though I'm only on cycle 1 TTC, going slightly mad symptom spotting and OH said this morning that he's becoming more and more convinced I am already...but then I'm thinking it woukd be great but maybe better if we conceived next month or after Xmas etc.

I'm only on cycle 1 though so feel like it's very unlikely as only just stopped BC in mid Oct.

Good luck to all!

@bunhead34 sorry af arrived! How long is your luteal phase usually?

@AIDE2424 congratulations!

@veeboo ideally I wouldn’t want an August baby but I decided I want a baby at any point more than I don’t want to be heavily pregnant in summer or whatever, I’ll take whatever I can get 😂

I’m around 9dpo now and af is due on Thursday I think.

@babytrain89 and @stormtrooperjulian glad I'm not the only one going through those thoughts and emotions! I'm sure if I get pregnant I won't give it another thought. Just maybe kick myself for worrying!

@veeboo exactly...we will just be thrilled either way! It's not being pregnant in summer that worries me, more as and end of July baby myself...I know how naff it can be having a birthday in the summer hols. Silly isn't it!!

I'm hoping I calm down if I'm not pregnant this time round!

@babytrain89 I think it's because my brother has a July baby and always goes on about the difficulties summer babies have. He has made me paranoid but I know I'd just be delighted. About to start the tww in a day or so and start that part of the emotional rollercoaster!!

@stormtrooperjulian it seems to be quite short, I've only been off the pill since June. But each month I've had about a week of dark brown/black bleeding before actual bright red AF comes, (but I'm still calling the dark brown AF) 🤷🏼‍♀️
Has anyone else experienced this?! I read it could be low progesterone.

Another question - how long should you have been trying before going to the gp??

@bunhead34 nhs website says after a year but I went after 9 months and they started tests then although that may have been because I was having irregular cycles and they wanted to rule out another issue. No harm in asking!

@veeboo thanks, I may go along in the new year, if there's no December luck!

Hello! Can I join!
First month actively trying after a potential CP last month, and I’m on CD20 (of 31) so at the start of the horrible TWW. Trying to keep myself occupied so I don’t start imagining symptoms!!!

@bunhead34 I have the same, been off OC since beginning of September. It took a couple of months to get back in sync. Just had first proper AF beginning of this month so now just waiting for LH surge. In respect of GP there are a number of factors, age and postcode lottery for one ! I’m in Hertfordshire saw mine last week after private test at clinic. Was told no nhs for me, too old, need to be trying for two years with same partner, only refer with those of AMH over 5 mins is 4. And have no children already. Move to Scotland you get three rounds on NHS !

@bunhead34 my gp said we could start with tests after 9 months then fertility referral after 1 year
