TTC October baby 🍁🎃👻

[BiscuitLover3678]

Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Think I’m going to test on the 4th early morning and see how I’m feeling. Very nervous but excited at the same time. My sister had her first scan yesterday after ivf so I’m now even more broody

Hey @AlbaGracie - if you don’t mind me asking - what day did you start counting your cycle? Did you have a withdrawl bleed? I also stopped the combined pill early January, still waiting to ovulate. I was counting day 1 as first day of withdrawl bleed, but not sure whether to count from day after I stopped the pill?

@Maxime34 how are you feeling today love? Did you fight the urge to test again today or have to tried again?
i lost all will power to wait until tomorrow and tested this morning, BFN - devastated. I don’t know why I convince myself it’s ‘my month’ every bloody month 😢so gloomy day for me…. Seeing the BFN never gets any easier
Reckon we should still test in the morning? X

@MilkyAndFluffy what dpo are you? you're not out til af shows!

@TunnocksTCake im 10dpo today, I think after seeing all the good lines so early on here I’ve convinced myself I’m out! I did think I’d see something but it was a stark white test 😪you are so right, AF due Monday so there’s still time!

@MilkyAndFluffy 10dpo is still so early, I know it seems like evryone on here has a bfp at 10do but you might still be implanting!
Fingers crossed for a bfp in the coming days xx

@TunnocksTCake i have everything crossed that I’m just a late implanter! Thanks for making my crap day a lil less crap 🤗

what is your plan for testing day? Have you managed to hold out? X

@MilkyAndFluffy I dont have a plan yet, trying to hold out as long as possible, been easy so far because I didnt have any tests in the house but my amazon delivery arrived yesterday! Feel like I've waited this long now though (12dpo) I may as well wait til af late. I am getting so many symptoms I will be really shocked if I am not, its driving me crazy!
Ive been reading this (old) thread for fun and lots of people on there had neg 10dpo and went to get bfp later!

Just got AF so looks like we will be trying again next month 😩

Hi @littlemiss2023 I had a withdrawal bleed as normal when I stopped the pill. I counted day 1 as the first day of AF as you would if you weren't on the pill. Wasn't expecting to ovulate but glad I persisted with daily OPKs so I know ovulated on D18. Fingers crossed AF comes on time and I can try again next month. I've read stopping the pill can upset your cycles so it can take a while to ovulate. Maybe get some OPKs so you know what's going on? X

Sending hugs @LuckyC27 🍫 let’s hope next month is your month! X

Sending some hope @MilkyAndFluffy ! I read an article recently saying most successful pregnancies don’t implant till 8-10dpo with 9dpo being the most likely. Then it takes at least 2 days after that to get a positive test as the hormones have to build to detectable levels. 😊

Bfn yesterday and now 12dpo. This is cycle day 30. Usually have only a ten day luteal phase with 28 day cycle. Perhaps this is my cycle now changing as I get older

@Countingchicks did you use an early result test or a standard one?
it could be the hormones taking time to build up in your system or it could be stress delaying AF

Hey hun @MilkyAndFluffy sorry to hear it was a BFN for you too, it really is gut wrenching when you've worked your way up to thinking and hoping this is the month. What type of test did you use? There's still time though, how long is your cycle usually / when is AF due? I didn't test today as it really broke me yesterday but will test in the morning for a definitive yay or nay. I'm pretty sure you should see a faint something on an early detection test by 11dpo so at least I'll know and prepare myself for af to arrive over the weekend. Such a rubbish feeling though and I'm right there with you!

Ahhh excellent!!! Its nice to know there's a closeness there. What app are you using?

@Hummusanddipdip @Natty83 my app is now saying AF is due 3rd for me too
I use OVIA app

Hi guys! I’m 10DPO cycle 6 TTC #1. I’ve had a vfl on a cheapie and a clear blue early detection. Currently holding my wee from 12.30pm for DH to get home with FRERs 😩

Also, there’s only a 66% chance of getting a BFP on 10DPO so don’t be disheartened if you haven’t had one yet! I’m not 100% convinced mine is pos yet

Congratulations! How are your feeling? Any symptoms leading up to bfp? Totally agree on the testing early thing, I can’t stop myself from doing it but it’s not that common to get a positive early. Many women only get one after AF due :)

Sorry for the double post but what do you guys think? Would be my first ever pregnancy/BFP so not sure what to expect 🫣

I can 100% see a line and it def wouldn’t be darker than that at only 10dpo I’d do one tomo with first morning urine and you’ll likely get an even stronger line x

@Sophie3839 thank you! Eek I’m so nervous!

So exciting! :)

@Chanteuse that is 100% positive! Show us your FRER when you’ve done it if you can. Congrats!

Well I splashed out on a FRER and it was negative so I can only assume that my cycle has gone out the window. Will start on the LH tests again and see if my body is trying to ovulate again
