Fx for the next bus Tomato

Queenrollo - looks like we might be in the same boat (on the same bus Confused!)

I'm trying to convince myself that in all probability AF will arrive if not tomorrow then very soon, but then there's that sneaky little bit of doubt...

tomatoplantproject · 08/02/2011 15:08

Oh my goodness there are some lovely wonderful BFPs on this bus! Congrats!!

As for me, I'm hopping onto the next one. AF arrived yesterday so I'm definitely NOT having an October 2011 baby.

Good luck to the rest of you.

queenrollo · 08/02/2011 15:03

vegasmum congrats Grin

pixie fingers crossed. I've still got none of my usual pre-AF symptoms. Not sure whether to let myself get excited or to exercise some caution.

Pixiepops · 08/02/2011 12:06

Congrats Knitter & Vegas

It'd be brilliant if we could have a late flurry of BFPs on this bus!

I'm ever hopeful. AF's due tomorrow but it doesn't feel like it'll appear at the moment. Time will tell, I guess fx

good luck on the next bus Karbea

knitter DP introduced me to them. I've always liked my folk music, he hasn't - but then realised he likes the angrier stuff and I'm more of the floaty/fiddly/tin whistle variety (finger in yer ear my DP calls it) He likes The Men They Couldn't Hang too......

I'm currently being made to listen to Nick Cave Hmm

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 21:39

queenrollo you are a woman with excellent taste :)

Karbea sorry to hear you're off - all the best for the next bus....

Karbea · 07/02/2011 21:14

Hello, just popping in to say I'm jumping off this bus and onto the nov one as af arrived this afternoon. Good luck to all the remaining girlies!

queenrollo · 07/02/2011 21:06

oh knitter I just looked at your profile. I like Show Of Hands too!

queenrollo · 07/02/2011 21:05

knitter Grin that's great news

cake i almost wish i had my usual symptoms, then i wouldn't be getting my hopes up.

knittymum · 07/02/2011 20:53

Knitter Congratulations!! So exciting! x

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 20:34

hey - just dropping in to say that I got a BFP today :-)

Very excited (DH is too!!)

TheCake · 07/02/2011 18:24

I know how you feel queenrollo - I feel so frustrated because I had totally resigned myself to there being no chance this month and now I'm not so sure. Just want to know either way!

queenrollo · 07/02/2011 17:49

ok i did a silly thing and POAS this morning and BFN. Not due til Weds/Thurs.

Still have none of my usual pre-AF symptoms....have no symptoms at all actually. Just feel completely normal. I feel like going to bed and sleeping until Friday because these last fews days waiting to see are dreadful.....

knittymum · 07/02/2011 16:54

Hello, I'm tentatively getting on the bus, but staying by the door I think! On the 2ww now, AF due on the 17th or 18th. TTC#3, CD21, UCL 31ish! Trying hard to resist buying HPTs until AF's at least due, but I walked past them three times in Tesco today, and have also looked them up online. Would any of you recommend testing early, or do you think I'd do better to wait until I'm actually late?? I'm just not sure if I'll be able to resist one little HPT next monday or thereabouts!

EnglishCountryGirl · 07/02/2011 13:18

Congrats no1childminder and fx for everyone else.

I'm usually really regular, but seem to be about five days behind this month. Positive OPKs finally for the last two days - CD 18 and CD19 - but no temperature shift yet. I'm so frustrated. I just hope I do actually ovulate this month...

On another note, this is the first month I've used the internet cheapy OPKs, and I seemed to be getting negatives even though other signs Blush indicated that I was about to ovulate...

So I tried one of the first response OPKs I was using last month and an internet cheapy to compare, and the first response was a bold positive, but the internet cheapy was still faint and negative.

Has anyone else noticed this before? And what did you do? Don't really want to go back to using the First Response OPKs because they cost a fortune in comparison, but the internet cheapys don't seem very reliable...

TheCake · 07/02/2011 07:13

Me too starlight!!! I think we are due around the same time, I'm going to try to hold off till Friday at the earliest (even though I've got a draw full of Internet cheapies)!
