hi everyone - lots to read since I last was on so not sure I can keep up with everyone's news. Sorry to those off to join the August bus and expect I will see you there . Ovulation appeared to occur early for me this month which somewhat surprised me so did not get much SWIing in before and was away for the vital weekend (without DH) so not much hope this month. Now 10DPO I think but no symptoms.

We are moving house on friday and I have a job interview in a couple of weeks so plenty to keep us busy anyway. Going to pack away my preg tests tom and not unpack them for a few days in the new house to stop me testing early.

Spent the weekend with several friends who have 2 kids and made dh and I even more keen to conceive no 2.

Esk's confusing chart

Should be at the gym tonight but am exhausted from not sleeping much and have cold so am writing myself an excuse note from my mum!!

Still no AF. I bought a clearblue test or four at lunchtime on my way from a course back to work. I'm so daft. I wanted a digital one but in my rush didn't realise that CB do non-digital ones too so saw there were cheaper ones which were also mucho reduced I grabbed two packs of 2 and only realised they're not the ones I wanted when I was in the car and hurtling away from Boots. Now just need to decide how long to hold off for.
[grump]

The course I was on was all about changes to school entry next september and all I could think about was "but I want to be on mat leave then so I don't want to think about this"Grin

LadyGoneGaga · 03/11/2010 13:57

Just taking off Kat. I've still not ovved so going to be on bus for aaages yet - if not in next few days am going to have to hop onto August!

KLou111 · 03/11/2010 10:23

:( What a pain!!!

GetDownYouWillFall · 03/11/2010 09:17

Oh Esk how confusing!

Post another link to your chart, we will have a look-sy for you xx

Eskarina · 03/11/2010 07:51

I gave in and tested again today. BFN again. Now on CD40, 14DPO by the most conservative estimate.
Even FF has given up on me Sad She's put an "I don't believe you" symbol on my chart.

I suppose 14DPO is quite early really.

I'm struggling with sleep at the moment, so I suppose that could be screwing up my temps, but surely it can't be preventing AF from showing up??

kat2504 · 02/11/2010 18:14

Leaving the bus this evening and hopping on the next one, armed with a cbfm this time!

Hope I don't see too many of you over there- good luck to the remaining passengers!

littlemisslozza · 02/11/2010 18:00

Nothing going on here, am on day 30 now but my cycle was up to 35 days when I got pg with DS1 and 2. DOn't hold out much hope if that is the case as DH was harvesting around the time I would have ovulated but we'll wait and see. Had a BFN yesterday and I normally know I'm pregnant before AF is due.

KLou111 · 02/11/2010 16:21

ah, test Eskarina, they're 20p off ebay if you buy 25 x
PS Hope you're cat doesn't get too stressed, poor little thing

Eskarina · 02/11/2010 16:18

Klou I'm so pleased about your dog! I have to take my cat to the vet in a minute mostly for her annual MOT and jabs, but also because she's had diarrhoea since we came back from holiday and just isn't herself. I know she hates going in the box, never mind to the vet, and, although I'm fairly sure there's nothing really wrong with her I'm still mildly concerned as it's so unlike her to be ill.

cycle wise I'm close to giving up! Due to test tomorrow as that's 14DPO according to FF and I'm beginning to think I'll have to accept that she was right and I was wrong about this month's ovulation. Might see if I can make myself wait until thursday or friday though as feel rather like AF is about to arrive and I don't want to wast a stick or give myself false hope by testing too early.

queenrollo · 02/11/2010 13:03

KLou i am so pleased you got good news about your doggy! Smile

KLou111 · 02/11/2010 09:19

Hi all,

Had the best birthday yesterday as my likkle doggy is fine (phew).
Vet doesn't know what was wrong, but it had miraculously almost cleared up, and she's given us some ointment. I am a very happy girlie again :)

I did a cheeky test and is BFN. Hardly surprised as not due AF til 8 Nov but was hoping as am approx 9-12 DPO. Not 100% when as different symptoms at different times but was around last weekend.

Have decided am not going to do any more until when I am due as don't want the heartache for no reason!!

Hope it's a sticky one for you rosieposey x

fledtoscotland · 02/11/2010 07:32

Omg this has been a long month. Trying not to obsess this month so am staying away from charts and just trying to focus on regular sex for the next 2.5 wks

Starting physio this week since my arm Is still weak after shingles and having some reiki

Eskarina · 01/11/2010 22:34

Gah. DH read that last post and then did start prodding me in the boob asking if it helped with making me feel pregnant again. I think he needs a basic biology lesson...

Eskarina · 01/11/2010 22:30

Grin annoyingly, my boobs are now fine. They hurt like any thing whilst I was away last week to the point where I was telling DH the right one felt like it had been punched. Then they started leaking, just a tiny bit (sorry, TMI!). But now they're fine despite regular prodding. Of course they went back to normal only after I'd googled around for "sore boobs not pregnant" and got results about cancer and other nasties. I shouldn't really have gone there but google is almost as tempting as a pee stick...

I'm going to try to hold out until either wed or even better thurs to test again because then I'll be late even on when FF thinks I ovulated.
I am rather peckish though Grin

sillybillymummy · 01/11/2010 22:16

Hello ladies, thanks so much for letting me stay on the bus, even though I've been very dormant, I've been mega busy for a month- but actually quite glad to have something to take my mind off this waiting game!
I was away from dh for the whole of the swi -ing time (gutted)
So actually feeling like I don't have a hope for July
We did it before I left (day 9) & came back (day 16) so you never know, but not holding out much hope, think i 'll be off to august bus on fri!
Sorry again for losing touch

MrsP81 · 01/11/2010 20:36

Not really got any other symptoms - I had lots of crampy feelings over the last few days but that seems to have died down now. I'm charting so I'll wait and see what my temps do tomorrow.

GetDownYouWillFall · 01/11/2010 19:44

Off to the naughty corner MrsP81!!!

Seriously though, I know how tempting it is! Hopefully you will get a BFP by wednesday.

You have promising boobs (sorry that sounds really Hmm) any other symptoms?

MrsP81 · 01/11/2010 19:15

Aaaargh, I did a test at 11dpo when I promised myself I wouldn't! Why why why!? as you can probably guess it was a BFN. Sad I must not do another test until at least Wednesday which is AF due day.

I'm still clinging on with hope to my sore boobs (not literally) especially now that getdown has said about them hurting around the sides because that is exactly what mine are like!

Fingers crossed for you Eskarina, high temps sound hopeful. :)

GetDownYouWillFall · 01/11/2010 18:54

crampy and craving stuff might be a good thing Eskarina? What about your boobs (sorry I never normally ask someone this question in RL!)

I find the sure fire symptoms for me are sore boobs (esp round the sides), and extreme hunger.

Hoping for you. When you going to test?

Eskarina · 01/11/2010 18:43

Hmm, temps gone v high now, but feel crampy and craving chocolate/sweet things so I reckon AF is on her way. I wish this wasn't so bloody confusing. [grump]

mrsden · 01/11/2010 17:31

Getdown I'm so sorry to hear about your mc, I'm sending you lots of hugs.

AF was due yesterday but no sign yet. My cycle has been up to 35 days in the past so I decided I wouldn't test until Thursday but then I had a really vivid dream on Sat night where I was pregnant so I did a test yesterday morning and got a BFN.

Me and DH both had really bad flu this month so there wasn't much SWI-ing so I'm not surprised by the BFN. I think being sick might have delayed ovulation hence AF not arriving yet. But until it arrives I am still going to hope that this might be my month! So I won't leave this bus until it arrives.

I am surrounded by pregnant colleagues at work, it seems that someone is announcing their pregnancy everyday at work and every time I go on facebook someone else is saying they are expecting. I had today off work and watched This Morning and Holly Willoughby announced she was pregnant on there, I can't escape! All I could think was "I wonder how long she'd been trying for?".

Hello ladies

As I was sat ?working hard? Wink at my desk I suddenly has the cleaver idea to work out how many days into my cycle I was when I found out I was pregnant with my DS. I realise this is a daft question but is it likely to be the same again? Blush I did a test yesterday and got a BFN but tomorrow I?ll be on day 32 which is when I found out before. I must say I did have signs before, I woke up and something was defiantly different - well fingers crossed for tomorrow.
