Oh no, sad to see some people have had their periods arrive. Good luck next cycles, guys!

MrsDen brilliant list of symptoms, made me giggle lots!

Suprised DH last night with an early birthday pressie, booked us a mini break in a lovely boutique hotel and a meal in a fab restaurant. We're heading off in a few mins. Hopefully this will give me something to take mind of TTC.

Have a great weekend!
Xx

queenrollo · 24/09/2010 21:48

how sweet is my DP? feeling Sad so he drove into town and bought rhubarb crumble and posh custard to cheer me up Grin

think of me between 12 and half past tomorrow when i shall be trying to keep a noisy, boisterous 5 year old quiet during a wedding ceremony!

MrsP81 · 24/09/2010 20:55

Congrats starflowergirl!

Sorry that some of you are leaving this bus. Sad

mrsden, I am also a hypochondriac. I' fairly certain I ov'd yesterday and I already have symptoms which must be imaginary.

Fingers crossed for you queenrollo, here's hoping that the BFN was a big fat lie.

queenrollo · 24/09/2010 20:36

i caved in and did a test earlier. BFN of course but my boobs are so sore that i just maybe......so i'm hoping AF will turn up on Sunday. Of course it is bound to arrive tomorrow as i'll be all frocked up at my Auntie's wedding Hmm

mrsden · 24/09/2010 14:29

I'm sorry that AF has turned up for some of you, I'm sure the July bus will be a good one. I'm not feeling very optimistic this month so can you save me a seat?

Does anyone else turn into a total hypochondriac during the 2WW? I am noticing every twinge, ache, pain, feeling that I have. And most of them aren't even ones associated with being pregnant. So far today I have had the following:

Sneezing
Ache/pain in my collarbone (think this is from carrying heavy bags yesterday)
Pain / stiffness in two fingers on my left hand
Back pain
Hip pain
Hot flush after cleaning the kitchen, thought I was never going to cool down!
Slight ache in my lower tummy
Feeling sick but think it's in my head.

So generally feeling rubbish but pretty sure that it is only because I am so focussed on my body if that makes sense?

KnitterNotTwitter · 24/09/2010 11:29

StarFlowerGirl just seen your emails - sorry I didn't read back and see your good news earlier. Congratulations from me and the post-MC thread ladies :)

jigglebum · 24/09/2010 11:22

Bad luck to all you moving to the back of the bus or off to the July bus. I think I may well be on this bus for the longest time ever! Expect to be able to test in a couple of weeks. Had a huge bout of nausea this morning but only 3 dpo so think it must be something else.
Really pleased to hear about the BFPs. Good luck everyone else.

StarflowerGirl · 24/09/2010 10:24

Glad to hear your shingles are clearing up fled

Sorry to those who have been visited by AF this month. Sad I have a feeling the July bus will be a lucky one for you!

kat I've just done a CB Digital test and got a Pregnant 1-2, so it's definite. Feeling tentatively excited. Smile

I'm hoping my GP will agree to do beta HCGs next week so that we can be sure they're doubling.

KnitterNotTwitter · 24/09/2010 09:55

Oh dear - just adding my news... AF arrived this morning - a few days early which is always a nice surprise Hmm

i'm off to find fled on the July bus... good luck everyone else :)

fledtoscotland · 24/09/2010 07:48

BFN this month. AF due today or tomorrow and feel premenstral. Shingles clearing up but still needing some painkillers most days. Also a july baby would mean xmas 2011 off!!!

Congrats to you all who have a BFP , fingers crossed for the rest of you.

Am now off to find july bus stop :(

queenrollo · 23/09/2010 22:07

well that last two cycles i've had definite building up to AF symptoms.....spots, tell-tale stomach cramps and the shortest fuse it's possible for a woman to have. DP hasn't retreated to the shed with his tin hat on yetGrin
This time (so far) i have nothing except my boobs have suddenly got tender Hmm
I'm not feeling optimistic for a BFP this month, more Sad that my cycles still haven't settled down.
Looks more like i'm going to have to pester my GP for blood tests doesn't it?

it's so unfair.....

8rubberduckies · 23/09/2010 21:07

Ah, I go away for a couple of days and we get some BFPs! Yay! Congratulations ladies! Welcome new people as well. I have no news, except it's the busy time of the month, so just poking my head up really [waves]

milanomum · 23/09/2010 20:46

:( nelly that's a bugger pain.

starflowergirl congratulations! As for the meds, over here they pretty much tell you not to take anything except paracetamol. Confused

NervousNelly · 23/09/2010 20:40

Bad news :( back to cycle day 1. 3 days earlier than expected. But on the positive side, this means I get to stay on the June bus. Two trips in one month! Just as well this bus is a good one Grin.

I brought gin Wink

Teds77 · 23/09/2010 19:13

Congrats to starflower and Totally and hello to the newbies.

I am feeling sorry for myself as work (especially a few days away from home) and tiredness mean I think I may have rather messed up my chances this month Sad Fear I may soon be departing for the July bus.. Bum. I guess statisically a few of you lovely June bus will be joining me - a nice thought for me though I apologise for depressing everyone else...

To those of you in the SWI-stage, stay alert and get to it! Smile

Greeneyes based on a 26 day cycle I'm due on 30th but I'm determined not going to test until day 30 (length of last month's cycle).. though the arrival of AF might make testing irrelevant anyway. Sob Sad

Girlsworld · 23/09/2010 19:11

Congrats totallyfloaty and starflowergirl! Great news. I gotta feeling that you'll both most definitely be on the June antenatal thread!

hey TerrysNo2 at last I have company at the back of the bus!

CD8... gearing up for lots of SWI next week. I usually ov day 16 which is Friday, then have a 12 day LP. So DH is on red alert! (although he doesn't know the specifics, I try to keep that from him so it's like a... what.. a russian roulette?!? Grin Keeping a bit of mystery. He knows I know when O-day is but he doesn't ask!

kat2504 · 23/09/2010 18:28

starflower many congrats on your bfp, sending you sticky bean wishes and hope you will be leaving the bus at the very next stop. Presume you will test again in two or three days?

StarflowerGirl · 23/09/2010 18:19

Thanks for the list of medications overthepond! Looks like we're not so bad off for things to take when we feel rotten. I'm very interested in the Vit B6 for nausea. I can definitely see that one coming in handy!

As for the list, please keep me on it. As I said, we're being cautiously optimistic here but I'm not ready to graduate to an ante-natal club just yet. I like it too much here on the June Bus. Smile

Lastly, welcome to ilovebooks and terrysno2!

ravenlocks · 23/09/2010 18:10

Sorry FHG, hope things go well tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

Congrats starflower!!!!! Welcome newbies.

Am feeling "bleuch", is that a pg symptom 6DPO?? Just want to put on a tracksuit and eat cheese.

fatheadsgirl · 23/09/2010 17:19

Welcome ilovebooks and terrysno2 Hope this is a good bus for you.
Congratulations starflower really happy for you!
Think AF may be turning up early as I'm spotting Sad Have to go to Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic tomorrow now for stupid blood tests. Humpf!

Greeneyesbigbottom · 23/09/2010 15:53

Congratulations StarFlower, GoodVibrations and Totally brilliant news Grin

Sorry about AF Serendipity, I cant offer any advice about implantation bleeding and as think I have that every month! I spot for a few days before so its hard not to think otherwise!

SWI for 10 days was hard work I tell ya! Although we did try and alternate it, i.e one morning, then leave it till the next evening, and it worked out quite well. I think there was a few occasions when we both couldnt really be bothered, but TMI - soon get into it Blush LOL He does feel the pressure if I tell him we HAVE to do it though!!!

I am now imagining waves of nausea, and boobs feel really heavy and sore but then they do most months. 2WW is now 5 day wait.

Is anyone else due on or around 27th/28th September???

GoodVibrations · 23/09/2010 11:02

Popping back to see how you are all doing, and so happy for totally and starflower, congratulations! I have everything crossed for you. I tested really early and so have been a bit obsessed with testing again and have had a few late night dashes to tesco to get more tests!. The BFP has been getting stronger which is good, and I feel very sick today.

Hello to all the other ladies, and the newcomers!

ilovebooks · 23/09/2010 10:31

Hey All

Can I join in please?

My stats are

TTC #2 UCL 27 Cycle 1 CD9

My DS is 6.8 and I'm now 33.. pretty stressed with work this month and as it's our first month of trying am already thinking soooo unlikely!

I've also found that since coming off the pill a few months ago my cycle and period has been quite short (only 2 days of proper bleeding!!) so am a bit concerned about that.

Anyway loads of luck to everyone x
