The May Bus

Tempted fate by making an appointment for a bikini wax the day AF should arrive. This forces allows me to POAS a day early so I can cancel if it's a -ive. My symptom spotting has begun, which is just a sign that I need to distract myself get to work on my dissertation and stop obsessively checking my wonky nipple (which I've decided will be like a turkey thermometer that pops when the bird is done). I'm even mentally resigning myself to having a child who could share a birthday with my step-mother, SIL and granny (none of whom top my favorite people list)--though will have 9 months to read up on how to bounce it out early or cross legs to keep it in a few hours.

8rubberduckies sounds promising, though I imagine your long cycles will make it more nerve-wracking than I could possibly handle. Good luck.

Welcome to cowboylover, hope this is a lucky bus for you.

I am very, very nervous now I am approaching the front seat of the bus. It's been such a long wait this month and I have been such a good girl SWI for about 2 weeks non-stop! I am also feeling very tearful, shouty, can smell lots of horrid smells wherever I go and want to lie down most of the time. This is not so much symptom-spotting as just knowing something is going to happen soon, because quite frankly I think all of the above just mean I am really, really f%%$ing hormonal .

I notice there are a few folk on the seats just behind me who should have tested by now... any news?

Congrats to the graduates, Home from the Turkish leg of this bus tour tomorrow. We JS'd on days 7 8 9 11 12 and 13 so fingers and legs crossed!! Far too much alcohol consumed tho
Once again congrats x x

those symptoms sound promising gingerwench!
my nose has been unusually stuffy for a few days... that is surely a sign, right? :o
junebugjr if we both get the twinges then I think that makes its a real symptom!! yay:)
only 6 10 days until POAS!

I hope that is good news for you;
For me last month it was wearing the wrong size bra

Definate symptoms gingerwench - sicky feeling, tingling boobs

Infact you've just reminded me. The very first symptom I had when pregnant with DD was tingling nipples (TMI alert). There had better be tingling nipples in a few days, or Im not going to be a happy bunny.

very very slight nausea first thing this morning until I ate something. Slight breast tingling. Symptoms? only a week to go before i find out. Might be a long week.

goldmaple Symptom spotting so far, twinges in left side the same as you. Feeling dizzy, feeling hot, burning lips (facial , basically anything at all. Realistically, I know any symptoms are unlikely, but it doesnt stop me!

I did start feeling sick just before my positive test with DD, but hope that symptom passes me by this time around.

I dont think 2 weeks have ever gone so slow, boo hoo.

congrats to all the BFPs! :o

im jumping off guys.
af got me this afternoon. very odd as i never EVER come on in the afternoon, always first thing. but then this has been a very odd cycle 40 day cycle!

am going to temp now, didnt this morning obviously as didnt know it was CD1!

so see you on the june bus :)

kiwi brilliant news! and here i was thinking i was the only one who does that extra search during the 2WW...

sorry to see so many go... but am sure i will see you all on the June bus shortly...

currently looking into 'assisted conception' which will embark on over the coming months if things dont get a wriggle on... argh.

Congrats Kiwi!!

Junebugjr we are cycle buddies! I'm jealous you have symptoms to spot...:) I have nothing. except I did have a twinge in my side this morning... hmmm... hurry up symptoms!

Good luck to all those POAS soon!

A note for the tests says on the packet - 6 days before is 68% accurate

Not that good an odds I recon so hold on in there if you can x

Hello all,

Congrats on the BFP's!

Am now on the 2WW and even if I was pregnant it would only be a few cells, but Im still driving myself bonkers symptom spotting. If thats not mental I dont know what is.

And now I come on here, and see that they have pregnancy tests for 6 days before period is due

Yaaaay, many congratulations kiwidreamer!

Congratulations to all the positives!

I think I would like to join this bus for the first time;

So I think my stats are;

Cowboylover TTC#1 Cycle 2, UCL 28 CD23

After last month of symptom spotting and driving myself crazy I am determined not to think about it or test until next weekend at the least!

Now sighing at my own failings already, I can see a long week ahead x

You are so restrained sillybilly, you can give me strength over the next six days!

HUGE CONGRATS kiwi!!!
Thats great news

I was so good today, i had to go to boots, and happened to see the first respeonse tests that say '6 days before period is due' but i was very restrained and didn't buy - must stop wasting all this money on tests! So i am going to wait until next tues also 8rubberduckies - i think we have been here before - 2WW waiting buddies! again. This will be my CB28 and also my sons first day back at preschool, so atleast if its -ve i can come home and have a sulky cuddle with my DD.

good luck everyone else testing soon

I flew to NZ and back pregnant, it made a very long journey even longer, as most of it was spent in the queue for the loo!

So chuffed for you kiwi, I am starting to implode with excitement that I might, just might, be pg this month. Hopefully see you in the due May thread soon!

Thanks everyone :)

So obviously at only 4wks I have no symptoms so doesnt feel really real IYKWIM, tho have been a bit snuffly (head cold ish) the past few days, had what I thought was wicked AF pains on Friday night while talking to DH and making dinner - doubled me over - wonder if that was implantaion?? Was that night that I went.. ahhh.. exploring and found smidge of red so thought that was AF on the way. Nips have been standing to attention waaay more than normal and boobs sore like due for AF but not freaky sore. Oh and a bit constipated!!!

Oh dear that is waaay TMI but goes to show symptoms are seriously random!!!

Mumsnet says due date 6 May, so that means I'll be about 6mths along on the flight back from NZ in Feb.

Hmmmm this would be me getting ahead of myself , need to slow down and just get through the next 12 weeks

Dusty Diva lost about 45 days along the way somehow! So, updated stats again...

My gosh that was a mammoth task! Hope all are well today... as FF is not playing ball this month and refusing to acknowledge I OVd last week cos I missed three day's temping in a row, I am setting my own OV date as last Friday, and as I tend to have a 10 day long luteal phase I intend to POAS next Tuesday. The waiting begins.......!

Congrats Kiwidreamer!

Huuray and Hurrah for kiwidreamer!!!!!!!!

kiwidreamer - great news :) Congrats!

Congrats Kiwidreamer!!!! x
