Well I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start up the October bus, there's plenty of Cake and Wine on board and extra comfy seats for relaxing into those BFP's

Imaginary I know what you mean....I'm trying to regain my usual positivity but I really have felt so deflated with af arrivial this month as we really went for it last month and failed :( DH was certain this would be our bfp....and was so gutted when af arrived....just made it so much worse....as I was so upset for him...now he's ok and is getting on with it, I'm feeling a bit down about it. But I know I feel so rubbish coz af is with my hormones playing my mind!

This time next week ill be ready to start all the fun again and DH is always up for it so won't be a prob there...suppose I have to count my blessings really :)

Thanks mama! I've done to the conclusion that my emotional state is ruled by my hormones somewhat so I plan to make the most of the good days Grin

ImaginaryHat · 30/09/2013 22:32

That's the spirit mama! I've been a bit of an emotional wreck last cycle (pretty much knew I wasn't preg from 5dpo when pre af symptoms started, combined with 3x pg announcements/births made me v weepy!) so I'm determined to be positive this month! July antenatal thread look out, we're all on the way!

Sounds good Jessie, tbh I think if you're in the mood for dtd that's half the battle with this ttc lark, helps you power on through the month!

mama31 · 30/09/2013 22:24

Excellent news jessie...keep up the good work ;)

mama31 · 30/09/2013 22:23

Imaginary yes I think one more month then hopefully we won't need it coz we can move over to july antenatal thread ;)

ImaginaryHat · 30/09/2013 22:17

Yeah I think maybe take it for 1 more month and see if anything else happens. I dont want longer cycles either, that means less opportunities to ttc!

jessieagain · 30/09/2013 22:15

Congratulations threefrom! Hooray for the lucky omen bus! Grin

I'm sorry for all those feeling bad with af :( hope she goes away quickly.

Well dp and I have started this months dtd fantastically well Wink my libido seems to be sky high as well (sorry for the tmi) and I am feeling on top of the world Grin. I think the breastfeeding was bringing me down somewhat in this department, so I'm glad that is all over and done with.

Also I'm happy to report that our visitor that originally was coming this week (right in the middle of important dtd time) has sadly cancelled, but the silver lining is that dp and I are now free every evening! I'm sad as I would like to see her, but she plan to visit early next year.

ImaginaryHat · 30/09/2013 22:15

Or the short answer would be:it seems to have delayed ov, increased cycle length, and now I'm spotting again!

mama31 · 30/09/2013 22:13

I was taking 50mg just so might continue with that but concerned about it delaying ovulation :/ I suppose if LP is long enough that's what really matters but don't want my cycles being a lot longer, quite happy with the 26 day cycle now I think!

ImaginaryHat · 30/09/2013 22:08

Hi mama!

I took it last month and it was great, lengthened my lp by a day to 11 days and stopped my spotting, but didnt affect ov.

This month the was a different story. I usually ov CD 15-18 but it was CD 20-21. I usually have a cycle less than 30 days so was panicking a bit that I was going to have a 6-7 day lp. I started feeling pre af symptoms at 5dpo but had nothing til 2 days ago, on cd 31, been spotting again since then. CD 33 now and af still not kicked in properly, though have been having worse pains today so maybe by tomorrow.

I'm not sure what to do next cycle now to be honest! I was taking 100mg so I'm thinking of dropping it to 50 and see what that does? Sorry I can't advise you, as you can see I'm confused myself! Yours sounds v much like my fosrt cycle on it though.

mama31 · 30/09/2013 21:57

Hello imaginary! :)
When you say b6 messed with your cycle what do you mean?? Just I've been taking it just since last cycle and it did lengthen my cycle to 26days and LP to 13days so was happy with that but are you supposed to keep taking it every cycle??

mama31 · 30/09/2013 21:52

MrsWalsh....great motto....I will keep dancing :)

ImaginaryHat · 30/09/2013 21:52

Hi ladies, room for another one on board? I have scones! And is that 2 bfps already?! Amazing start, congratulations!

Could someone kindly add me to the list please? The b6 seems to have messed my cycle up a bit so will give it my best guess and see what happens.

ImaginaryHat ttc #1 cycle 6 bfp due 30th october

Right, gonna start reading back through the thread and catch up with what's going on on the October bus now!

CleverOl10 · 30/09/2013 21:42

MrsW - loving the rain dancing! I think this could be a dancing bus....

ronty · 30/09/2013 21:30

Congratulations Snowlet and Three! Great start to the October bus, this could be the most successful bus ever! FX!

Choccywoccydodah · 30/09/2013 21:29

Doesn't sound terrible MissV, everyone I'm sure has there 'ideal' timing for maternity leave and/or pregnancy. We would prefer another summer baby rather then dec/jan/feb, but obviously it wouldn't mean we'd love baby any less. It's a shame we can't time it hey? Smile

mrswalsh77 · 30/09/2013 21:27

Congratulations!! Lovely news :)
I'm having a pretty tough time of it at the moment and a BFP would help us see a bright light at the end of this dark tunnel!!
Fingers crossed..... In the meantime, my motto is: rather than waiting for the storm to pass, you've got I learn to dance in the rain!
Xx

Missvaughan85 · 30/09/2013 21:17

September seems to be the month of missing periods!! If we weren't ttc it would be a welcome change!! And here we all are wishing it would either come or a bfp!!! Wish my af had stayed away!!! Hot water bottle and bed for me. I an actually secretly pleased that af came, I'm self employed and run a busy hairdressers so I would only be having a couple if months off maternity leave. If I had my way it would be longer. But I wouldn't be able to. So if like to be off iver the summer holidays with my daughter and possibly a new baby. Does that sound terrible?? Feeling terrible thinking it!!

MundayCakes85 · 30/09/2013 21:13

I missed my AF last month, think I was meant to ovulate when I had a kidney infection. I ended up with a 42 day cycle, and quite a few BFNs along the way. So I definitely know how frustrating it is waiting. FX you get an answer soon.
Can't believe we've got 2 BFPs already! Pretty amazing!
I'm just entering the 2ww, haven't been tracking ovulation so far. But think it was today so DTD tonight and tomorrow (hopefully!) just in case.

MrsMac1397 · 30/09/2013 21:03

I've been reading this thread and have noticed a couple of other people have missing AFs this month. Mine was due on Saturday and still nothing. I did a test on Saturday morning and said not pregnant (was a cb digital test). I'm very regular 27-30 day cycle normally and have been off the pill for a few years so that's definitely not a reason.

Not sure what to do should I buy another test or wait it out for AF to arrive?

mama31 · 30/09/2013 20:49

Thankyou Three!! Your bfp cheered me up :) congrats!!!! :) :)

MrsB I'm sure you could sneak on june thread one day earlier lol

I'm feeling a bit better after my run and long hot bath...lazy night ahead now is just what I need...can't wait for this witch to do one!!!!

wispaxmas · 30/09/2013 20:41

Haha, maybe I should stop shouting about the June thread from the rooftops. All you October bfps know where to find us, right?

MrsB2013 · 30/09/2013 20:25

Congratulations Three

Wow 2 bfp's and it's not even October yet! I really think is the lucky bus!

I've looked at what will be my due date if it happens this month and it's 1st July! I want to join the June thread with Wispa lol

ThreeFromDesire · 30/09/2013 19:58

Mama, glad you are drugged up with paras. Hope this passes soon for you.

Choccy, I took your advice and went for the June thread Grin my dead is 10th June according to lmp or 12th June by ov.

I'm in bed early, nothing is tasting right not even my jammy pink and whites that I love! Didn't feel like this yesterday so wonder if it's a psychological affect of pregnancy being confirmed lol.

mama31 · 30/09/2013 19:02

Thanks for the sympathy ladies re my painful af....have managed to get through a very busy days work trying to ignore the pain.....and dosed on painkillers from after lunch!!

Missvaughan I am exactly the same....no withdrawl bleed tho just 2 previous periods that were fine with no pain and lasted only a few days.....this one feels like its here for life....and this is just the first day :/ I'm being a drama queen I know...but haven't had one like this for about 13 years!!! :/
