Lucky october?🤞🏼

[Emiily887]

Hi ladies, I’ve just started a new thread for us to continue the support🩷

AF started for me too today, hi!

Wishing you all the best this cycle ladies ❤️

Joining!

I’m due tomorrow x

Hey girls🥹 so so glad you’ve come over!! Shall we start with a week of moaning about af?🤣
Currently in bed with a hot water bottle and paracetamol🫠

Hi again ladies!!! 💕💕So lovely to have this continued support! I feel like you’ve all become really nice online friends through this! 🥰how lucky I was to find such a nice thread for my first time joining mumsnet!

@Emiily887 🥰I think a bit of moaning about AF is needed! Mine came along very painlessly which was odd, proper caught me out. Also having an early night. Had a bit of an argument with DH this eve which is very unlike us but I think it’s normal. Ttc can be a stressful time. And I was sad and disappointed that AF had come and you let things out to the ones closest to you. I’m sure I’ll feel better in a few days and now AF has come I can move forwards, rather than being in the confusing limbo of the last few days.

@LuxyLocket bless you. It is absolutely normal, especially when ttc. I think when af starts hormones are up in the air…. Af always makes me grumpy anyway but when ttc it can feel like your body is going through the motions. My poor DH dreads the first few days of af because I’m such a moody mare🤣
I’m with you on this one, I’m so upset it didn’t turn out to be our month especially after all the weird tests, but also glad to just know it’s over with so we can focus on this cycle. I’m going to try super hard to stay relaxed (🤥) and not stress too much (🤥 again)🤣

@Emiily887 Absolutely this!!
im glad it’s not just me! I’ve told myself exactly the same this month 😂🤦‍♀️to not get quite so fixated on it and relax relax relax. I’m definitely going to try and be more chill but I still know it’ll be on my mind a lot as you just can’t not can you!! 😂sending hugs to get you through AF

Hi I am 4 weeks post surgical management for MMC baby’s heart stopped at 9 weeks.
I think I am 5DPO which means my AF will be due in October but praying for a BFP. I need to not be hard on myself if AF arrives and know that my body has got back into some sort of order and be thankful for that.
I am 40 in a few months so starting to panic I am running out of time.
sending lots of positive baby vibes to you all. Let’s hope and pray October is our month xx

Hey, I'd like to join too. This will be cycle 2 and cycle 1 has opened my eyes a lot. I didn't track my ovulation last month and as my cycles are somewhat irregular it was a bit of a shot in the dark. So no big surprises for a BFN this morning (approx 13 DPO), and hoping October is my month.
This will be my 2nd DC, my first was 6 years ago and a happy accident with a previous partner, so none of this apprehension! AF due from tomorrow but will see when she actually turns up.
Good luck to all.

Place marking to join you lovely ladies for another month 😊 AF has arrived and today ive got my obstetric debrief for Julys second trimester miscarriage. It's been a long time coming but maybe it's good to have this appointment before a new pregnancy, as much as I hoped this would be our month. Wishing lots of chocolate and snuggly hot water bottles for you all 😊

Hello ladies - can I join? I'm 35 with one tube after ectopic a few years back. Had a mc in June and now trying again. On cycle 3.

AF arrived yesterday and I had utterly convinced myself this might be our month as I had pregnancy symptoms - cotton mouth, feeling sick, cramps over tww - I'm so confused :(

Has anyone else had this?

Hi everyone! Lovely to have some new people join! We had a lovely thread last month with a bunch of supportive ladies so we’ve made a new one to continue that!
I am on day 3 of af and hoping for a lucky October as the title says🩷
So sorry to hear you’re in the same boat, fingers crossed this cycle is a lucky one for all🥰

Welcome everyone! This was the most supportive and lovely thread last month and I’m looking forward to us getting through another month and tww together!
I am so so sorry to hear of some of the losses and difficult journeys. 💕💕we had a mc, our first baby, at 9wks in august so we are just embarking on ttc again. No luck last month, and 2nd day of AF for me but now into another cycle and just trying to move forwards and keep going. Let’s do this! Hoping for lots of October luck for us all 💚💚

@LuxyLocket how are you feeling lovely? I’m so crampy this month it’s unreal 😭

Thanks for asking @Emiily887 . AF is a lot heavier than normal which I’m not sure if it’s since the mc as that can be common for the periods to be a bit heavier after.
or i do wonder if I’ve had a chemical after all those faint lines and me feeling like I had some early signs. Also the period hasn’t been my typical period. It looks ‘different’ without going into tmi.
im ok though, I was more sad yesterday but now its here im just glad the uncertainty is over and I can look ahead to this new cycle.
also if it was a chemical, the silver lining is that we did conceive again and I timed it right!
i won’t know for sure and I don’t want to know eityer, but it is what it is and moving forwards now.
how are you feeling? I’m sorry to hear it’s more crampy.its weird isn’t it 💕

@LuxyLocket bless you, I’m sorry to hear that! It could definitely be from your mc, fingers crossed it settles for you soon🩷 ttc can be so difficult sometimes😢
I had a gynae appointment yesterday and explained the tests so they did bloods for me to check for hcg. They called me just after I posted in here this evening and said my levels were 8, so it definitely looks like I’ve had another chemical😔 the silver lining is that I did conceive like you’ve just said above, but also upset as that’s the third chemical in 7 cycles ☹️
I think deep down I knew it was but was just trying to tell myself that it was a dodgy test.
Never mind, onto the next cycle and with minimal stress🩷

Oh @Emiily887 I’m so sorry my lovely, I have been thinking of you and I did wonder if it could have been a chemical.
it’s so so hard and with you being through this multiple times, you can conceive but it’s so upsetting cos you want them to stick.
sending you big hugs and you deserve a sticky bean so so much and I know it’ll happen for you it’s just the going through it that is so hard 💕💕💕
im also going to try and give myself less stress and be more relaxed next cycle so we can try that together

@LuxyLocket this is a good idea, what do you do to de-stress? As a coincidence I've booked a weekend away with my bff who I haven't seen in forever and I'm so looking forward to it. I'm really hoping ovulation isn't late or the timing will be all wrong! But I'm thinking it'll be in the 2ww

@MrsS11 Well both my DH and I work in schools so we really try to manage our stress as the job can be highly pressured at times. I practice mindful techniques and literally give myself self positives mantras.
ive booked a massage, im taking prenatal vitamins and have cut out alcohol and caffeine. Im always open for other suggestions of how to de stress.
I think the weekend away will be lovely for you! You could dtd the day you go away so you’ll be covered! 💕💕

really sorry to hear this!

im thinking a stress free cycle for October too!

ive decided I’m not doing any opks until CD12 as I literally know that I ovulate CD14 -15 and just like to waste them and worry about them😂

we are also going to try using preseed when DTD during fertile window🩷

How are you all today ladies? Day 4 of af for me and just want it gone now, especially knowing it was a chemical😔 I’m feeling less upset today though and more hopeful for this cycle.
I ordered the easy@ home bbt thermometer so if anyone can give me advice on how to do it and for remembering to take the bloody thing every morning that would be wonderful 🤣🤣

Thank you @LuxyLocket 🩷 you're so lovely! I really hope we get out positives this cycle 🥲 let’s keep eachother kind of relaxed🤣

Also going to try not taking opk’s until abit later! I normally ovulate between cd 16 and 18 so no point testing really early for me! Praying for a month full of positive on this thread 🩷
