The September BFP Bus - 9th time is the charm...

I know it's all very confusing and seems to be consuming my every thought! I need to do something to take my mind off it all! I should be tidying and cleaning but I'm contemplating driving to wagamamas!x

Disney I love 'free-flowing' as a description

I am putting my bloatedness down to the pizza I destroyed last night. I'm worried about getting my hopes up too much.

Could all be normal monthly symptoms though. That's what I hate about all this - what you think could be pregnancy signs could also be a sign AF is on the way. Rubbish and unfair.
That said, here's hoping it's the lead up to a BFP

Morning everyone :) how's everyone's bank holiday going? I'm going symptom spotting crazy! Think I ovulated last weekend since then I've had some cramping, sharp pains 1 day of ewcm on Friday (had lots the weekend which is why I thought I'd ov'd) nausea and diarrhea (sorry way tmi!!) and very veiny boobs. Am I just imagining because I want it so much?!? Only came off the pill end of July so it's all new to us! Xx

Since April. There was a whole horrible thing in may though so me and DP didn't dtd for the rest of may and all of June though as I couldn't have dealt with getting pregnant as well so I discounted those months an just kept an eye on my cycle iyswim?

I see absolutely no good reason for bleeding for a month. I should write a formal complaint to Mother Nature.

How long have you been off the pill for chubby? Let's hope we get back to regular cycles soon (or even better just get bfps!! :) )

AF for a month! Wow!

Mrs yes!

Thought I was settling down nicely, 38 day cycle, then a 30 day cycle, then AF lasted almost a month and I'm now in cd...40-odd? Of course that's messed up all the calendars in my apps, one tells me I'm 18 days late the other insists I always have a 46 day cycle.

Hooray for technology!

Got a bit of a boaky feeling in my throat but I just gassed the whole upstairs with flea spray so it's probably that seeping through the living room ceiling.

Hi Suz, it's so nice to hear someone else is in a similar position! I went to the doctor & she has booked me in for a blood test to check my fertility levels (I'm having it tomorrow morning). It is meant to be done on cd21 of a 28 day cycle but as my periods are so irregular I've got no idea if if will be accurate. I do just think it's my body settling down after being on the pill for so long though :( Let's hope Sept is our month :)

mrsmummytobe, yeah I've had the same problem. Came off the pill in January and started TTC properly in February. was fairly regular for first 3 months and since have been all over the place. Last month was 40 days, had totally convinced myself was pregnant then AF reared her ugly head . makes it so hard to know when to test. I'm slap bang in the middle of what I think is the 2ww and already driving myself crazy! Hoping this week goes quickly.

I'm not really sure coco808 I didn't pay attention last month as we were on holiday but according to the Internet calculators around the 4 sep. I have a few opk sticks so get to try them this month. What about you have you got your head around calculating everything? It is exciting you can't help getting carried away but we shall have to try and relax or we'll be exhausted by the time it happens! Haha. X

Well without giving tmi, we're being much better at TTC this month (not being in tents in South Africa helps!), but still being relatively relaxed. If no BFP this month will start on the ovulation tests. Trying to be less stressy this month and avoid symptom spotting. I've ducked out of going to a beer festival next week (a lovely one at a railway museum) as I don't want to make anything obvious. Fortunately only social events coming up are with people from my gym where not drinking is a lot more normal!
Fingers crossed for everyone!

Has anyone else had problems with irregular periods since coming off the pill? I came off the pill in March & we started trying in April a month later. My periods were fairly regular at first (28-32 days) then 2 months ago I had a 42 day cycle then after that a 17 day cycle!! This month I'm on cd 22 but no idea when to test & if it will be a normal cycle. I wish I had come off the pill a year ago to give my body more time to adjust.

Morning all and hi leezl sorry to see you on here but got a good feeling about the September bus, fingers crossed for you

And hello to everyone else who's joined that I've missed, the list is getting long, presuming the bus is a double decker or at least a long bendy one. Its almost our month...next stop BFPville toot toot!

Coffee I've had that a few times it did eventually turn into a solid smiley much to dps relief! This cycle I went straight from a circle to a fixed smiley with no flashing one which confused me the first time that happened too but I rang the helpline and they said that was normal too.

Hello all.

I got my third day of flashing smiley today on clearblue digital opk. Has this happened to anyone else? The instructions say it's supposed to be two days flashing followed by two days solid. Confused.

Boobs are even sorer tonight! I have a theory that it may be related to increasing B6 from 50 to 100 this month, therefore making it progesterone related. With 9 days to go still I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much!

This doesn't normally happen due our circumstances but I've got a few hours spare tommorow as D.D is staying out and also with it being bank holiday.
So I've just called him and he's coming over for a few hours of D.T.D. He wont stay over though due to work the next day.
So it looks like it will be a baby making or (practicing) bank holiday for me. xx

I've been very nauseous all day, particularly while doing my food shopping.

That could have just been the supermarket though

hi cupcake..I know the feeling, AF arrived a day late last month and I was so anxious and hopeful! Was nipping to the loo every hour at work to "check" if AF arrived!!! Sorry TMI. I got myself so worked up that started feeling sick and then convinced myself that surely I was pregnant!
Trying to tone it down this month and not jump to conclusions if AF arrived a day late, as that it now normal for me apparently . Think would be best to test a day or two before AF to kill the suspense!!
Do you know when you will ovulate?

Sorry A.F get you Leezl. xx

Well I spoke too soon! AF hit today so I can say that my BFP date for the list will be 22nd I think!
At least I'm definitely on the right bus ;)

Hi rocky! Adding me and rocky to the bus as AF got me yesterday
