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?

My line was exactly the same at 8dpo. This is a pic of my lines today at 11 dpo. Definitely take another test in a few days! Congratulations!!

@Sineadf91 Thank you that's so encouraging to see! I also have faint lines on two cheapies which makes me more confident this isn't an evap or something, but obviously it's clearest on the frer. I'm probably going to test each morning 😐well done holding out for 3 days between tests!

Congratulations @Sineadf91 what a great line!

There's definitely something there @Hankthehonk hope it's clearer this morning!

I've been up super early this morning to test - very hard to get 3 minutes to wait to read a result with a 4 year old in the background saying " Mummmmmyyyy, I want to go downstairs, come on, let's go, what are you looking at?!"
Anyway, I think there's something as opposed to nothing yesterday but still not brave enough to share, and not a FRER, only have one of those, ordering more!

@Jealousofchiliheeler I'm also up early but with nausea and the desire to test. Bizarrely my toddler is peacefully sleeping (not for long!)
Just did a frer and there's no squinting required this morning... feeling excited and in disbelief. Still a very long way to go I know but I'm super happy in this moment

@Jealousofchiliheeler and that's very exciting you're seeing something this morning 🌄 definitely get a frer and try again

@Hankthehonk OMG that's amazing! Congratulations, very happy for you, the boobs clearly never lie!!!

So happy for you @Hankthehonk a definite line! Congratulations!

Fingers crossed for a clearer line for you in the coming days @Jealousofchiliheeler very exciting.

I'm 6dpo today and hoping for some signs if implantation in the next couple days 🤞🏻

Congratulations @Sineadf91 and @Hankthehonk! Wishing you both a healthy pregnancy❤️

I'm quote proud of myself, usually have no self control and would be testing daily from around 8dpo and just get disappointed. Now 10dpo but when I've woken up overnight (needing to pee more than normal) I was incredibly thirsty so downed a load of squash. Which I knew meant when I actually woke up my brain would decide there was no point in testing. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Don't you just love how brains work.

Not sure if these are going to show up on camera but I'm definitely seeing lines here!

@Jealousofchiliheeler I see them! Congratulations x x

@Jealousofchiliheeler I see them! Especially on the frer, didn't even need to zoom to see that one. Congratulations! 🎉 how are you feeling?

@Jealousofchiliheeler I see them, really clearly on the FRER too!

14dpo here
No period yet but I have my usual pre period headache / migraine so I imagine my period will be here tomorrow

On to another month I think

9dpo here and BFN this morning. I know it's very early but I got a BFP with my last child so I was just really hoping it would be the same. Feeling so low now. Have had on and off cramping the last couple of days so I hope something's happening and not just my body playing cruel tricks on me.

@Hankthehonk pleased but also utterly grim, although I feel like that's a good sign. Pregnancy really is the most perverse state though isn't it? I really doubt that anywhere on the internet you'll get forums of men going "oh my balls are feeling really sore and I'm knackered and nauseous, yippee!"

@2021lady sorry to hear, keeping everything crossed that next month will be your month!

@hipposinacircle 9dpo still really early though, and cramps for a couple of days sounds very positive in which case it would be very early to have enough bHCG circulating yet. With any luck that was implantation and you'll get BFP in a few days!

@Jealousofchiliheeler yup!! I'm feeling incredibly nauseous today, I know I should be pleased my symptoms are strong and I am but I also feel like crap. I didn't feel this bad until several weeks later in my first pregnancy.
I am exhausted as I had a night out last night and managed to deceive my friends that I was drinking (I think- if they were suspicious they didn't say anything). But the whole time I just desperately wanted to be in my bed 🙃

Broke my own promise to myself and tested the last two days. Pretty sure it's positive now. Gonna get a CB digital this week just to make sure. Line progression from 7DPO to 12DPO (today) for anyone interested!

@JoanneV congratulations! Looking really good

@Hummusanddipdip I feel for you, it's the absolute worst having to be the good person and pleased for your colleagues when you're going through it all yourself without the happy outcome. Let yourself have that sadness, it's like a grief each month when it doesn't work out and you need to let yourself grieve properly. Hugs.

Completely feel you on the symptom spotting, I was earlier googling things like "early pregnancy legs and arms itching" which sadly gave me no hope, I think it's far more likely to be that we've just swapped washing powder brand 🤣 but amazing how powerful my brain is at ignoring obvious solutions like that. Tested this morning at 10dpo and stark white, as expected. Tbh I can feel my body gearing up for AF, my feet are bouncing when I sit which always happens a few days before.

Fingers crossed and buckets of Baby Dust in the world to you. I hope it's your workplace announcement next 💐 and in the nicest possible way I hope not to see you on the November thread when I move over.

@2021lady I hope next month is the one for you although you really do never know until AF shows. Hugs. Fingers crossed x

Wow congrats @Smiffette @Hankthehonk @JoanneV and everyone else with a BFP so sorry if I've missed anyone! What a lucky thread this month, lovely to have so many keeping the hope alive and spirits up for all of us, so pleased for you all 💐🥰

@JD90 did you hold out? I caved and tested 🤣 BFN 10dpo, this time I actually promise to wait until Tuesday (AF due then). Surely that's achievable even for me haha
