Woohoo lorelai that's fantastic news! Congrats :)

Lorelei353 · 07/10/2012 16:49

Thanks Woody. Hoping it'll rub off on the rest of you and Oct is a great month!

woody17 · 07/10/2012 16:35

Congratulations lorelei that's brilliant!

Lorelei353 · 07/10/2012 16:29

Hi all. I just wanted to pop in and say hi, especially to those of you who I met in the Sept threads (parts 1 and 2!).
Some might remember I was hoping for BFP around the end of Sept. but ended up ovulating later than I thought I would so figured it was a longer cycle after settling down post-pill. I ran out of time in Sept and then popped off to Spain for a week, intending to come join the Oct thread when I got back today. However, as the week went by in Spain, no AF appeared even though I'd had some spotting last weekend. So, back from Spain this morning, swung by Boots on the way and yep, BFP! 2-3 weeks according to CB Digi! Grin.

Just wanted to update some of the people I spoke to and wish you good luck - especially if you're in the older age box (I turned 36 last week). xx

woody17 · 07/10/2012 09:00

Sorry almond that af got you.

I really hope that you get your BFP next month.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 07/10/2012 08:19

I'm hoping a head cold is a symptom, Violet, as I've got one which started yesterday, at 6dpo. Feel crap.

Sore boobs are a permanent feature since before OV. They are bigger and heavier too.

Sorry to everyone who's out for this month. Fx for next time.

Hi everyone - hope you are all ok. Been for another session of acupuncture this afternoon. Hoping it's going to help me get pg and then have a healthy pg.

So we dtd on the day I got my smiley but not the day after. We've dtd a few times since - I'm hoping that it's still been enough though.

Sorry af arrived taking the stairs and woodlands

wavesandsmiles hope the move goes well

weechops · 05/10/2012 19:51

Taking I have joined you on the November bus but might have an outside chance of an October BFP on the 29th. Not very hopeful tho as dh has to leave next week and I ov right in the middle of him being away :(

Hanikam · 05/10/2012 19:24

sooooo congrats to all the BFPers out there!

so sorry for all those with a BFN
time to enjoy all that pate wine and soft cheese like chookford says!

i'm due a visit from AF this weekend and am still hoping for a BFP.
wish me luck!

TuesdayNightClub · 05/10/2012 17:31

Hi folks

I'm sorry I've not been on for most of this thread. AF got me a few days early so I'm out, and after 13 months I am taking a break from TTC. Unfortunately this is been quite a traumatic month for me in other respects so I have too much on my plate at the moment to carry on.

Congratulations to the BFPers and good luck to those still waiting.

TNC

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 17:08

hi Jelly, I'm going to keep lurking on this bus too because I really want to see how all you guys are getting on too, but thought I'll book the other bus for the future journey. Hopefully not too many of you will be joining me Wink

Aww taking can't believe you catching the next bus already. Prob see you on it soon, if my body decides what its up to

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 16:06

woodlands Sorry to hear that

wavesandsmiles how is the packing going? When is moving day?

weechops, woodlands and anyone else that AF has paid a visit to this month... I've found a new bus with a nice driver that promises to drive us straight to our Nov BFPs. Come join when you can

Woodlands so sorry to hear that witch has taken another passenger out of the running!! Right November bus will be lucky one I am sure! Have a large glass of Wine tonight and eat lots of pâté and soft cheese!

Woodlands · 05/10/2012 12:52

Boo - I'm out for this month. At least AF had the decency to show up on the early side rather than late!

wavesandsmiles · 05/10/2012 12:38

Hi all.

taking I am really cross on your behalf that the witch appeared. But enjoy plenty of wine this weekend!

I'll not be around (probably) for the next few days as we are in the final days of packing up. Kind of wishing we hadn't packed so much furniture already, had to work from home last night and did so sat on the floor with my laptop!

Fx for good news over the weekend

VioletCherry · 05/10/2012 11:40

Thank-you for the lovely messages xx
For those in the 2ww I have had no symptoms apart from a head cold about 1 week past ovulation and now a missing witchey visitor!

For anyone coping with WTF cycles after the pill. I came off Ceraztte at the end of Feb although not TTC until the last couple of months. I had been on it for less than a year but it took a good 3 or 4 months to fall back to a regular pattern. Although frustrating I think this is pretty normal.

littlepink if your dc has started to wake up to be straighten out at night could they be ready for a pillow and tucked in bedding? My 19 month old naps in a sleeping bag but (without waking) likes to migrate right aound the cot at night. Not sure what the recommendations are for ur age group but maybe a possiblilty, (forgive me if this is a rediculous suggestion)

waves good luck "christening* the new house.

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 08:57

Thank you so much jellycurls, chookford, shineypeacock and weechops. You guys are amazing Thanks

These cheesecake brownies are being delivered to the office today, so I think they'll help with the cheering up Grin

Sorry taking that evil AF caught you, hope you have a chocolate filled boost weekend x

chookford · 05/10/2012 08:13

Taking I am so so sorry booooo bloody witch!! But as you say you are now aware of your cycle and hopefully it Wong be too long before you get that bfp! Have a few Vino's tonight!!

shineypeacock · 05/10/2012 08:02

taking sending you a big hug, have booze, brie and pate this weekend, am sure you will get a BFP soon, as you said you are aware of your full cycle,

I have been off the pill since April and really trying since the end of June, spoke to my practice nurse the other week whilst in for another reason and she said it can take 6 months for your cycle to be normal again, so please dont feel too bad xxx

weechops · 05/10/2012 07:28

Aw taking I'm really sorry the witch got you.

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 06:56

Thank you SO much to those that were crossing their fingers for me but I'm off the bus.
All my symptoms were obviously wishful thinking. AF arrived with a vengeance last night. But at least now I know my full cycle.
