Well, as Bleats so kindly started the last one I thought it only fair to take my share of the driving Grin

Let's keep the positive vibe going ladies, we may be off the May minibus but we're definitely not defeated so bring the Wine, Brew and BiscuitBiscuitBiscuit, hold onto your seats and let's get this baby mobile started

Hickory Congratulations! Your news has cheered me up now end, I'm so happy for you.

Dalrymps I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for your next update. this bus is more exciting than any soap you get on tv!

Hello to Mary and well done to Harmony on your fabulous weight loss.

Why I hope AF disappears soon and you're getting the hang of the CBFM. Although I have yet to get a bfb I find the monitor so much easier than temperature charting.

Such a busy bus! If AF arrives tomorrow I'll be sad to step off as you're such a lovely bunch.

MaryQueenOfSpots · 26/09/2011 20:33

Thanks MyCat, I feel better for a good ole moan. Poor DH is getting it in the neck!

Keeping fingers crossed for everyone who is POAS in the next few days [smile}

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 26/09/2011 19:28

What an up and down day on the minibus...

Sad So sorry to see you go Bleats and that you're feeling so down... I really hope the bus break does you the world of good and that you get your bfp soon.

Grin Great news from you though hickory and Dalrymps your news is sounding good too - I can't believe you have the willpower to wait until thursday to test again.

Welcome also to Mary and well done on the weight loss harmony- ' I've been really struggling to stick to my diet whilst ttc so kudos to you, that's impressive and I'm sure it will help with ttc!

Katiekatiekatekate - Our AF is due the same day, I've had no symptoms, not even convinced we SWI at the right time, but am hoping we did! I'm getting a bit impatient too, have got an early response test but think it's probably too early considering no symptoms?
Hum.. hate all this!
Congrats hickory! Any tips?!

Whysoserious · 26/09/2011 18:21

BTW harmony well done on your weight loss!! 12lbs in 2 weeks! I bet you look and feel great Smile

Whysoserious · 26/09/2011 18:19

Wow congrats hickory and looks like we could have a couple more graduates in dalrymps and hero...hope so ladies! Great news!!

Sorry AF has arrived Bleats Sad I hope you feel a bit better after a break.

I still have AF - 9 days later!! That ain't right surely? And it's quite heavy still - showing no sign of going. I'm going to make a docs apt as it has been an odd one. Although I am quite stressed with work so maybe because of that.

Been having to do wee wee tests for CBFM everyday for the last 3 days. Have a feeling I will be ovulating this weekend (if af effs off!!) and bloomin typical DH is away.

I'm going to chill though - if it happens it happens. I'm going to enjoy the rest of 2011 as a child free young(ish) person . Que sera sera and all that Wink

MaryQueenOfSpots · 26/09/2011 15:58

Oh and I have been ttc for past 6 months so getting a bit cold at this bus stop. Sad

MaryQueenOfSpots · 26/09/2011 15:57

Hi I am wondering I can join the queue for the bus.

AF due 3rd October.

I am so bad tempered - I just want to knooooowwww !

Congrats to the graduates. Smile hope I'll be with you.

Katiekatiekatekate · 26/09/2011 15:49

Hi! Just thought I'd pop by, and I see that some congrats are already in order! Well done Astro and hickory :)

I still have a week to wait but I'm a real antsy pants this month, I've already bought tests (the expensive ones as well, doh) and am sitting on my hands trying to convince myself that the tests that say they have a 55% accuracy rate 5 days before your period's due do NOT mean that in my case they will most likely be 100% accurate 7 days early.

Oh madness.... hope you're all keeping your sanity better than I am :o

hickory that is fabulous news! Another graduate. Sounds like you did exactly what I did. So much more reassuring to see it in writing isn't it.

Can't wait to join you on the pregnancy boards.

Good luck to everyone else.

Mersea · 26/09/2011 15:14

Congrats hickory Grin starting to losing track of everything going on and where everyone was on the original list Confused

hickorydick · 26/09/2011 15:00

I POAS this morning and still didn't believe it so I bought a digital to make triple sure and there it was - 'pregnant 1-2'. I'm still pretty stunned.

Good luck to the rest of you! I'm hoping there's lots more BFPs on this bus :)

Dalrymps · 26/09/2011 14:15

Ooh hero we can be POAS buddies.. If I can resist peeing on any more till then!Grin

HorseyGirl1 · 26/09/2011 14:01

thanks MyCat, just a nice quiet day on Sat - which suited me fine. Had a glass of wine and a glass of Peach Snapps with Lemonade as obv not pregnant! Tempting Fate, tempting Fate - go on Fate do your worst! Just waiting to see what happens. Was a complete wreck yesterday so prob AF symptom. Sorry Dalrymps - that sucks. Also hugs to Dogwalker, it will go in quicker than you think, and to Crystal and to Golden xx

harmonyb23 · 26/09/2011 13:17

Hi Everyone! Got +ve OPK today so going to jump on DP once he gets home from work the children go to bed! Congrats to those with BFP's and FX for next month for those who AF has decided to descend upon.

I have lost some weight this month 12 pounds in last couple of weeks and am hoping this will increase our chances of conceiving, does anyone know if this is likely?

Mersea · 26/09/2011 13:14

Bleats sorry AF arrived, I felt the same a couple of months ago and took a bit of time out. fx for you Dairy It's all getting very exciting!! AF is due Thursday. It would be nice if I do get a BFP this month as conception would have happened whilst on holiday in France and at the time of a full moon! I know that sounds silly and anytime will be great but you know it just seemed a bit more special.

heroinahalfshell · 26/09/2011 13:03

Ok so blood gone completely now. Going to resist doing another test now until THURSDAY (AF due Weds).

I'm not daring to think it might have been implantation (but ALL the signs - no cramps, small amount of old blood, about a week before AF due).

Please help me resist until Thurs...

I'm tempted to pull my luggage out of the hold on the July flight...

AstroNess · 26/09/2011 12:48

That's so exciting. Roll on Thursday!

The most exciting thing that has happened to me today is that I tried dried prunes for the first time. It was not a great experience but something tells me it was a good idea to buy the value pack! Wink

Oh, and GP appointment now booked for tomorrow.

X

Dalrymps · 26/09/2011 12:18

SmileI'm trying to not get too excited till I've bought a new test and done it when my AF is late (thurs) fx it's true but also don't know what I'm gonna do about my best friends baby. Will just have to cross my legs and travel to meet it!

thedogwalker · 26/09/2011 12:11

x posted there, Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo, running around in excitm,ent. Keep us posted Dalrymps that is brilliant news for a monday morning xx I will be keeping an eye on this thread all day for updates from you and Hickory and Hero

thedogwalker · 26/09/2011 12:07

My heartfelt sorrys go out to roger, Angel, Signet and Bleats, I really hope that things start happening for you soon, I will keep my fx for you all.
Hickory that is so a BFP, do another test and then sit back and enjoy the bus ride, so there is you and AStro on the other side, hope a few many more of us join you soon.
Hero keep the faith girl, don't think negative.
Well I did a whole weekend of SWI, my DH was worn out, ah bless. This is our first month of ttc and we only have next month to have a go before he works away for 6 months, I'm now wondering why I left it to the last minute but I couldn't bare the thought of me being heavily preganant and my DH not being there to help, now feel that I wouldn't have cared and I should have just blooming tried earlier. Silly, silly me.
fx for those POAS this week, we all need some good new Take care everyone xx

Dalrymps · 26/09/2011 12:04

Argh! So, ok, I was on the phone to apple support about replacing my iPhone cause the home key hardly ever works. Anyway, they I formed me my warranty has run out and I could have extended it for free but as I didn't it'll cost £145 to replace the phoneAngry

I'm telling you this because I started to cry on the phoneBlushBlushBlush

As this is not my usual reaction to such news I ran upstairs and POAS (2nd wee of the day) and nothing.. Took a shower then as I got out glanced at the test and there was a VERY faint 2nd line! Obviously I'll have to wait and do another but looks like something is going onHmmConfused

heroinahalfshell · 26/09/2011 10:33

BFN today but still no proper AF. Very VERY light streak on tissue again this am. WIERD! AF due on Weds. I think it's too late for implanation isn't it. Probably just AF building up to a huge faking crescendo of AFness.

GoldenDaffodil · 26/09/2011 10:10

Thank you all for your kind words of support, this is much apprecaited. On a TTC note AF is due tomorrow so I'm just waiting to see what happens.

Hickory have you done another test yet? It definietly looked like a BFB to me - keeping fingers and toes crossed for you.

Crystal I share your low mood today but you've got alomost a whole week to go so symptoms could still appear, don't give up hope.

Bleats I'm so sorry to hear AF visited over the weekend. I understand why you need a break. Over the last 13 months DH and I have had to take time out from the process some months and I disappaer from MN from time to time too. Try to fill the time off with nights out with friends and qualiy time with your DP. It's a tough road but take a break and come back refreshed. We'll all get there eventually.
