Oh doctordolly, sorry that this bus was not lucky for you. I'll join you on the flicking v's and scouling though, no AF here, I'm just an anti social bugger!

I am reall ythinking I may have to test tomorrow if no AF by then. It will be 43 days and never has one lasted so long so I will have to test just to see. I am hopefull I am pg but I don't feel it in the slightest but not sure if I did with ds at this early stage.

Looks like it could be a long wait for me though. God damn irregular periods! I have no idea if we actually swi on my fertile days or even if indeed I actually ovulated or not this month. It was soooo easy last time! Finding it a bit consuming this time. I am thinking and wondering all day, it's like an obsession now. I am trying to not go on about it to dh in front of ds but it's hard because I just want to know! Either way I need to find out!

Loving the POAS addiction. arabella I recommend getting cheapies. Costs a fortune otherwise! Have done one this morning. BFN obviously.

I'm a loon. I don't feel pregnant. Had mild cramps last night but probably wind

'and one', not 'an done'!!!

Hello Iggly I'm glad I'm not the only maniac around here who keeps testing

I'm on CD 23 of a 28-29 day cycle and have done 4 tests already. One clearblue digital(what a waste!) an done first response (likewise!) but the rest have been the amazon cheapies so `i don't feel ive wasted quite so much money!

Will obviously have to keep testing, I may as well admit it. . .

Not really sure about the symptoms now. Felt pretty sure I could be pregnant around 3-4 days post ovulation but not so much now. Still do think I'm more likely pregnant than not but that's probably because I'm an optimist

hello all
AF today, and now I will be scowling out of the window of the October bus; possibly flicking the V's at lorry drivers along the way. i will now look down the back of my seat for any bits of chocolate or biscuit crumbs.

Oh oddbodd its so frustrating when your cycle is confusing.

Welcome newbies!

On CD19 so into the 2ww, AF due in 9 days so will resist testing until next week!

Still feel bloated, tired and hungry but no other symptoms and not sure if we timed it right as OH seems to be turning to drink! :)

Well still no AF here. Day 42. I am trying to resist testing again. Not sure if it's still too early with me never knowing when I am due. It's so blody irritating waiting and not knowing.

Iggly I find the urge to test is addictive too! I did 2 within space of 2 days last week which obv both were BFN! I may chack ebay too cos at this rate it's going to cost me a fortune in tests! I don't remember being this bad last time but I suppose I was more regular then so I knew exactly when to test and got BFP first time which was a blessing.

There is very little chance of being pg this month to be honest as DH's shifts have meant we have done very little SWI but it's a possibility I guess.

Just more waiting for me I suppose. I hate this part!

It's addictive, isn't it seven?! Even though I know it'll be a BFN I cant help it!

Iggly I was just as bad last month, this month I will try to have more self-control!

Hello new passengers! Let's hope we get loads of BFPs. Not holding out hope for one myself this month - twiddling thbs and POAS until AF turns up. I bought about 50 cheap tests on eBay for a few pounds. Going through them even though it's too early

Yes, good luck to everyone! DD took 15 months ttc and the first month I joined a MN thread...BFP!

I gave up putting life on hold ttc DD. Weekend wine is a right!

*Oops to red wine typing

Hello all, please can I hop on the bus? (You seem like a lovely lot and judging by the length of the list, this is going to have to be a double-decker to get us all on!

Stats are:
TTC No.2 cycle 2 CD1 UCL 30 days AF due 13 Feb

(sorry I can't do a hash sign on my mac does anyone know how?)

Well AF got me good and proper. The work cramps since before I had DD and I'm already ill with sinus and throat infection so feeling trebly rotten

Will dust self off and get ready for opk stick-peeing, pre-seed squelching, date counting, symptom spotting general madness of ttc for this month.

For tonight though, I'm indulging in ibuprofen, paracetamol, red wine and cake ...and making the most og DH's sympathy.

Thanks Iwish...
I don't normally get cramps until couple of days before AF due (not that I've noticed since coming off the pill that is!). This time I had upset tum each morning from about 10 days ago, then bloating started about a week ago and cramps on Monday increasing and then petering off towards the end of the week...strange fluttery feeling all week as well! Seem to be full of wind too! To start with I thought I'd eaten something funny whilst we were on hols (though everyone else was fine and there wasn't anything obvious), and then thought the bloating and pain might've got worse with the 12 hour flight home but we got back on Wednesday and all still hanging around! Guess I'll find out in a week or so !

I think I'll update my stats too. Ive done yours bluecrane

Hi BlueCrane when did your cramps start? i always get wierd crampy feelings from OV to after AF - i never got them till i came off the pill.
And flippin eck you have had an extended break, bet its been fab. :)

Just realised I've not added my stats to the now huge list of ladies on this bus! Must be a double decker...

TTC#1 cycle 1 CD24 UCL29?, AF due 20-22nd Jan (not sure as only had one 'normal' cycle post pill so far).

Was going to copy and paste the list but not working for some reason.

How's everyone doing today? Think I may have overdone it slightly as am shattered...but the cramps are back, wind still present and will see if the upset tum is there again in the morning! Another busy day tomorrow as well and then back to work since before Christmas! been nice having extended break and lots of time for SWI without DH's shifts getting in the way!

Hi Sevendwarves. keep SWI lol! i got my 2nd line on opk yesterday which was the same as last month but i only have the tinyest bits of EWCM this month but last month i had loads.
how long did you hold your pee for before you did the test? i hold mine for 4 hours and dont drink anything from 5 hours before. (im a peeaholic)
oh and sorry for any spelling mistakes, i usually type on iphone so it corrects everything for me but the laptop doesnt haha :)

how is everyone else?

i should ov today (cd16) so SWI last night and hopefully tonight when DP gets home.

Hi to all of the new ladies, standing room only now, or is this a double decker bus?

I'm very confused. I'm now on CD16 and just got a positive OPK, even though my urine was quite pale (sorry tmi!) but I have no EWCM. Last month I ov'd on CD19 and had bloody loads of EWCM!

Perhaps I should do another OPK just to be certain?

OddBodd, I agree, keep testing every couple of days if af doesn't arrive. Do you know if you ov'd this cycle?
