If you thought the October bus was early, wait until you see NOVEMBER

[PaintingOwls]

AF arrived this morning FIVE DAYS LATE so I've decided to start an unreasonably early November bus.

There's a chance I could conceive in October but the TWW will fall into November.

So here we go:
TTC: #1
Cycle: 2
Age: 26

My cycles tend to be 28 days but this one was 33, which is going to mess around with my app, no doubt.

@cheesemumma cd13 for me and no positive opk yet. Still dtd every other day too since mid last week to make sure we catch it c

BFN this morning AF due tomorrow and my boobs are sore. FML.

@paintingowls so sorry it's not your month this time - after feeling miserable when AF comes I try and treat myself so I don't feel so fed up

I'm on CD16 and no positive opk. I'm booked for day 21 test but Im confused because I thought it was supposed to be a week after I've ov'd, does anyone know if I should move the appt back a few days? Irregular cycle keeps me guessing/permanently Sending luck to everyone, wherever you are in the cycle this month xx

@mrspuffin sorry don't know about any of it. I started opk today. Good to pin down ovulation, but only helps predict I suppose if you have a regular cycle.

@paintingowls so frustrating! Hope you get one or the other. With DD1 o didn't get bfp until couple of days late. However, I convinced myself I was pregnant last month and was just late!!

I think AF has just turned up

A friend announced her pregnancy yesterday.

I feel so rubbish and exhausted.

Just ordered a bunch of OPKs from Amazon.

@PaintingOwls Sorry to hear that always so gutting when it shows x

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining in.

Ttc#1
Cycle 9
Age 28
Af due 9th/10th

This is the first time I've ever posted in one of these groups despite reading through a lot of old forums! Always been too scared I guess. Now I'm fed up of keeping it all in every month, don't really have anyone to talk to except OH and he just says it'll happen when it happens 🙄
Normally I symptom spot after 5dpo and test by now (10dpo) but this month I've been suspiciously calm and not noticed anything really. Just 2 very small, literally pin pricks of blood yesterday and 1 sore nipple. Although it seems like I get new pms symptoms each month so who knows what's going on!

Welcome @Cat249 you have some good to hold out on the testing!

Trust me I don't normally! I know every time that it'll be too early and I'll just be deflated but I just can't resist it! 😂 feeling pretty chuffed with myself this time. Fingers crossed this month's different for a reason!

When will you test @Cat249?

@mrsof20118 I am telling myself Saturday if af still isn't here but I'm dying to do one tomorrow. If I last til Saturday, my plan is to turn up at where my OH works and surprise him if I get my bfp.

How long have you got left til you can test again?

Hi,
I hope you don’t mind if I hop on too!

Age 24
TTC #2
Cycle day 12

Fertile window starts tomorrow according to Ovia but I know I usually ovulate around day 19. I was a bit obsessive the last 2 months with OPKS so I’m not using them this month to try and reduce stress.
Fingers crossed for you all x

@paintingowls I'm sorry. It's always so gutting. How are you doing?

Hello new ladies!!

I've had a busy few days at work so it's help take my mind of it.

So I'm on CD19 but I haven't had a peak opk after testing for 10 days (no static smiley on Clear blue) and the instructions say to stop at 10 tests in a cycle. Guess this means I didn't ovulate so have to wait another 10ish days for AF to appear. Just feel so sad - my husband is always optimistic - TTC is such a rollercoaster, I didn't realize how upsetting I'd find it.

Fingers crossed for everyone else this month, hope to see BFPs on here soon x

@MrsPuffin did you have 10 days of flashing smiley? That's when youre supposed to stop, not 10 days without a peak as it's still possible CD19 isn't that late

@veeboo yep 10 days of flashing smiley. I know it doesn't seem that late but I've been having horrible cramps for 3 days already so I feel like I'll get AF soon. Trying to DTD every 2 days all month just in case

It is so draining isn’t it @MrsPuffin
@cat249 have you tested this morning?

@MrsPuffin. Sorry you feel disheartened. You are doing all you can with dtd. I know how frustrating it is. Last month I got a static after 9 days of flashing on CD27! Then the cycle went on to be 59 days long. Not sure what went wrong but on cd10 now and just got a flashing smiley

@mrsof20118 nope, doesn't look like it's going to get that far! Yesterday nothing happened so got everything ready for when OH went to work this morning and it seems af is on her way :( not full flow yet but I imagine it'll be here come lunch time.
I know implantation is rare but I can't help but hope! Although my OH is caring and supportive, he just doesn't understand how draining and disheartening it is for me every month to know that it's yet another 10 months ish until we can finally hold our baby. I know he's excited, he just doesn't get stressed easily.

On a side note, we do have a little bet going. Just for fun. He says it'll happen before new year but I'm convinced it won't. So if he's right, he wants me to make or provide 10 sandwiches. I can buy them or make them and can be over the entire pregnancy. It's a bit of an us thing, we love a sandwich 😂 but the only thing is, I don't know what to pick as my 'prize'! any ideas ladies? I know the baby will be however we us ladies deserve a little something 😂

Oh dear ladies we seem to spend half our lives avoiding babies to now trying for one like many of you here I recently stopped the pill and are having various length periods which makes it difficult to do ovulation calculators

@mrspuffin it's tough isn't it? And it seems to go on and on!!! I've just started opks this month. No luck as of yet. Fingers crossed you ovulate at some point. I wouldn't give up on dtd!

@cat249 that sounds ds sweet-and-sour you don't fancy sandwiches?

Hcan any of your ladies help? Just done an opk and looks alot darker than the others I've done but not as dark as the control. Have I missed ovulation? We haven't dtd for 4 nights as we were both working shifts and didn't get a chance. I'll make sure we dtd tonight. Any chance I'll still catch it?

@Cat249 that sounds fun I've no idea what prize you could ask for though!

@cheesemumma still possible as the surge is pre ov and then the egg can last up to 24 hours anyway x

@cheesemumma its possible you missed the surge. When did you last test before that one?

Hi ladies!
I was just wondering if any of you get any signs of ovulation? I think I’m cramping on my right side, I’m due to ovulate any time, usually CD19 but it feels a bit earlier this month. Not sure if it’s in my head!
