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?

@Junipersand feeling good at the moment thank you. In my TWW however it is less because I have shorter cycles. AF due on Mon 6th so not too long now to wait and see… this is cycle #4 TTC for #1. This was the first month where I saw a peak on OPKs so we were able to time DTD better - let’s see what happens! X

Hi, another lurker here, can I join? Cycle #6 this month, TTC #2. When we conceived DC #1 it only took one month of trying but I'm 5 years older and it's definitely much harder!
So far had one chemical on my third cycle but nothing since, although we were really sick for one of my fertile periods so couldn't really manage to DTD enough!
I'm CD16, got a solid smiley on ovulation test yesterday and then unbelievable abdo pain and bloating this morning which is now starting to ease off so I'm fairly sure that was me ovulating. Like other people have said it's crazy how much more aware you become of your body, I never realised before that I got ovulation pain, but as soon as I started properly tracking my cycles I realised that I did!
But we managed to DTD three times in the run up including once last night, going to try and push DH to go once more to give us a good chance, I think we've been giving up a bit early before, it starts to get proper tiresome! Poor man is getting tired 😂

Sending baby dust to you too! X

@Jealousofchiliheeler totally relate, it does get tiring doesn’t it 😂

@JJ2023 oh I'm utterly sick of it. DH is fairly keen at start of the month but within a week we're both just fed up! I also seem to bloat so much more when I ovulate so it actually starts to become quite uncomfortable just when it's the most crucial time!

@Jealousofchiliheeler
oh I usually get uncomfortable during bd when I’m ovulating too! I think me and my husband dtd loads tbh 😂 but luckily don’t find it a chore most of the time

So I have had some brown spotting and weird feeling in stomach since 7 dpo. However, trying not to get hopes as have done before and AF has arrived every month so far.
Will likely hold off testing only if AF doesn't arrive when due. Early testing makes me more anxious.
I am now on 5th month ttc..

I had my bfp this evening. Should be due around the 18th of October according to opk dates. I am roughly 9dpo. Still early days but still feeling hopeful. Good luck to anyone else still in the tww 😊

@shieldmaiden7 congratulations lovely!

@shieldmaiden7 congrats! X

@shieldmaiden7 was it the first day you tested? And any symptoms? Congratulations again :)

Congratulations @shieldmaiden7 !!!!

Thank you everyone!! 🥰

@JJ2023 not the first day, I tested the day before on a few internet cheapies and could have sworn I saw a shadow if I squinted and tilted and all sorts. It came up around 3 minutes but I wasn't convinced it wasn't evap's or even a faulty batch as I had the same shadow on about 5 tests through the day. I left it to the following day and tested again with the clearblue around 8.30 in the evening after a 4 hour hold and got a positive.

Only symptoms I have right now is extreme tiredness and the need to pee a lot. X

I am due AF tomorrow but just done a test line eyes please ??

@JJM13 definitely not! That’s a BFP! 😍

@Mrsrobinsonx thanks so much for replying !! I’ve just bought a clear blue and it’s says pregnant ! I really thought i was out but felt tired and sick all day so thought i would check x

@JJM13 how exciting!
you had quite a few symptoms didn’t you? X

Congrats @JJM13 that's a definite BFP!

@Mrsrobinsonx Yes i’ve been bloated , fatigued and felt nauseous in the morning the tests were negative but today my lower tummy by c section scar felt tender like a dragging feeling and i remembered this feeling from when i was pregnant with DD i’ve never had it at any other time so i decided to test , just goes to show early tests are not a good idea i thought i was definitely out !

@Maxime34 hey love, hope you are getting on ok! Did your AF turn up? Mine did and I’m now on cycle day 7. I’m obviously out for October, but I can’t find a November thread. Are you on one yet? Would be lush to follow your journey since our dates line up similar and you were so supportive for me last round!

congrats to all the BFP’s on here 🤗and good luck to everyone in their TWW 💘x

@shieldmaiden7 congratulations same date as me !

@JJM13 congratulations!!

Congratulations @shieldmaiden7 and @JJM13 💐🥳

Congratulations @shieldmaiden7 & @JJM13 ❤ xx

@MilkyAndFluffy I've tried to tag you in the Nov thread lovely, let me know if that worked! Would love to keep up with you and fingers crossed this is our month! Congrats to all those who got their bfps xx
