Hoping for a BFP October/November

[Purple29]

Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

@UserL95 thank you, I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated as the most I've been able to do to take a step back is just stop using OPKs, my cycles vary between 28-33 days so today was the first day where I could test as I'm CD29 but it's obviously been accurate in the past xx

@UserL95 I got my BFP with my son at 12dpo and had ruled myself out the day before when it was negative!

@kizzy97 what are you doing to look after yourself? Friends? Family? Hobbies? I hope things start to feel easier if that’s even possible 🙏

@Sparklythings1 this is so helpful to know!! Gives me a tiny spark of hope back. For me, having no hope, nothing to try different, is what gets me the most down

Still spotting and seems to be heavier at times but not red more brown with pink??

Convinced AF is coming early now 😩

@My2boysaremyworld That's definitely a symptom of implantation bleeding, I wouldn't lose hope! It's in fact textbook implantation bleeding x

Hey please can I join! I'm 3dpo and feel like I've got so far to go!! We've only DTD twice around ovulation this month so I'm not holding out much hope but it only takes one!

Congrats on all the bfps!

@Olegia thank you, I'm not due AF until Monday and been spotting since Tuesday night but today it seems more xx

@UserL95 I keep up with my hobbies and stuff like that, I do have my DS as well as work full time so that keeps me busy too, I'll probably perk up once AF comes and gets out the way, hope everything's going okay for you xx

@UserL95 you’re obviously not supposed to read the test after the set time but when I got the positive at 12dpo last time I went in the bin and found the one from 11dpo and there was a clear line that hadn’t even slightly been there the day before, it was completely stark white when I had checked in the time! I haven’t even got to the stage of being able to take a pregnancy test this time round, AF keeps arriving too early and I don’t even get to 10dpo. Maybe I’ll be lucky whenever I finally get to do one again 😂 saves me money anyway!

@My2boysaremyworld Is that how your period usually goes? (light spotting for 3 days)?

@overthinkersanonnymus Don't worry twice around ovulation is not bad at all. We also only had sex twice, the day before ovulation and the day before (and also once, but 4 days before that, so it doesn't count haha)

DPO 8 today and not feeling anything special at all, just some mild cramping yesterday but that's it... The last week is really dragging by, the first week past ovulation isn't as hard because you know you won't be able to test any time soon anyway and any symptom are probably just a figment of your imagination, but the last few days is when it's tense haha

@Olegia no don't get spotting before like this but it's getting heavier so defo looks like AF coming , I'm gutted xx

@My2boysaremyworld It's not over until your period arrives! Keep us updated? :-)

@Olegia 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I've had a stabbing pain in my right side since around 6pm last night in what I think is my ovaries?? I don't really know exactly where my ovaries are so I could be way off 😂😂.

I'm usually very crampy and twingey in my uterus in the TWW but it's all been very quiet up to now apart from the stabbing.

Hope everyone is doing ok and I'm looking forward to seeing some bfp's!

@Olegia I'm out 😢 AF kicked in full force in the middle of the night. I'm in agony too with it 😩xx

@My2boysaremyworld sorry AF has showed. I'm waiting on her too. Fully expecting her to show this month as I think we missed it.
My 2 year old pointed at my stomach the other day and said baby, I was gutted!!!

@Purple29 your not out yet, fingers crossed for you xx

@My2boysaremyworld sorry to hear you’re out again this month :(

we DTD for the first time in 20 days (!!) and he pulled out - WTAF !!! Just feeling so deflated :(

im deffo out this month - again :(

@Bluelightbaby thank you. Oh no hun did you ask him why he did that? Xx

I have the best boyfriend. I'm in agony with this AF, he has just been and got my folic acid tablets for me from the chemist and bought me my towels too xx

@My2boysaremyworld aw sorry to hear... ! Onto the next cycle!

@Bluelightbaby How come he pulled out? Was it in your fertile window?

My FRER tests have arrived through the mail today, though I really want to hold out for at least another 3 days... I've been smelling/tasting metallic taste slightly... I don't know if it's just a figment of my imagination, or because I read somewhere it's one of the more rare symptoms of conception... arghhh

@Olegia tbh i think I’ve missed my fertile window completely anyway although he doesn’t know that. We’ve been ttc for 9months and it’s become so stressful that we (he) decided no tracking no talking about fertile days and not always ejaculating inside. He’s got a really low sex drive but he said it’s making him not want to have sex at all now as it’s all too stressful - However I did think after not having sex for so long he’s at least cum inside me this time.

time is not on my side I’m nearly 43 and clearly want this more than him so happy to give it everything. Just so deflated :(

@My2boysaremyworld sorry forgot to tag you in above reply !

@My2boysaremyworld ahhh sounds like a keeper ! My OH treats me like a queen, truly looks after me in every aspect but he’s got such a low sex drive it’s frustrating:(

@Olegia thank you xx
