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

That would be much less stressful!

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 19:34

Yeah and wake up pregnant huh?! That'd be nice Smile

mama31 · 03/10/2013 19:26

I hear ya onelife....I feel the same!!!! Hibernation sounds good to me.....

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 18:51

Purple and Suz - sorry to see you go but totally understand the need to try and cut off from it all, sometimes I wonder what is the right thing to do and whether this constant analysis is helping or hindering. I hope you find some peace with it all as it's not easy and only seems to get harder as the cycles go by. Good luck and keep in touch, i'm sure there's plenty on here who will like to know how you get on Smile

I'm ok ish Mrsb but have been better. Trying to do smep this month but can't shake this 'it's not going to work' feeling. Trying to think positive as know this negativity i'm feeling at the mo can't be helping but so easier said than done. Don't think the weathers & time of year is helping either, just want to curl up and hibernate!

englishteacher78 · 03/10/2013 18:04

Tired, over emotional, hungry then sick, sore boobs, weirdly recurring cm. Either this is it or this month's AF is going to be awful!
3 days until it's due - not going to test until I'm late. I've decided.

SuzB83 · 03/10/2013 15:49

Hi ladies. Can someone take me off the list please? AF arrived on Sunday so think I'm off the bus. After my last 2 cycles being 40 and then 60 days I have no idea when I'll ovulate, I'm off on holiday next week without DH so I bet it's then! Going to give my body (and head) a month off from trying to see if my cycles regulate and then get back to it (hopefully) in Nov. Going to take a break from MN too. Purple I know how you feel, it's taking so long and I'm getting obsessive and getting myself down about it. Good luck everyone, FX for lots more BFPs! Thanks

MrsB2013 · 03/10/2013 13:27

Hi one how are you? No real plan, just told DH we need to dtd at least 3 times a week for the whole month!

Congratulations Lililly

Purple hope you get your bfp soon, take care Flowers

mama31 · 03/10/2013 13:03

Awh purple! Good luck to you as well. I totally understand what you mean, it consumes you and I don't think that's healthy. I hope everything works out for you. Take care.

I am going to be chilled this cycle I am determined....coz last 3 I've been so obsessed and its not good for me! So my new calm approach is hopefully gona work!!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 03/10/2013 11:56

Congrats to all the BFPs, can't believe how many there are so soon!

I'm going to take a break from MN for a bit. Am so fed up with how long this is taking that I'm feeling really blue tbh, and also v envious of all the BFPs Blush. Am not going to do anything other than dtd because we want to for a bit. Am sick of PIAC and living my life around 'what ifs' and cm checking. So time to step away. Good luck to everyone Thanks

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 11:38

Wow, congratulations Lilly!!! Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 03/10/2013 11:00

Congratulations lillllly!!! This is such a lucky bus!!

Lililly · 03/10/2013 10:58

I didn't know how to get on the list, but hope I still count on the lucky bus. Just got a BFP for which, all going well, will be my 5th after a 10 year break. Have had full on symptoms for 2 weeks, tried to test early but nothing till today with clear blue which was probably the day I was due. looking forward to telling DH, will be his 1st, though he did guess a couple of days ago due to the tired/sick/tears.

Choccywoccydodah · 03/10/2013 10:56

Lh that sounds very positive, by Saturday it should show on the CB. Even if they are 50, the IC are usually 10, and it doubles every day, so it would be at least 40 on Saturday, so it's got to be worth a try Smile. Good luck!!

Ovaries are fine today thank you Smile

I've decided I'm not going to symptom spot at all yeah right as I had every mo fo symptom under the sun last month and was so disappointed.

I will not test until 14dpo, I will not test til 14dpo, I will not test til 14dpo (if I get there)

NeuroticSweetTalk · 03/10/2013 10:18

Thanks CrazyL I was trying not to read up about it all in case it was just disappointing. But that's interesting, I guess in the absence of AF I should just keep testing then :) saves me from trying not to drink to get concentrated pee for a test today aha. And thank god someone said it, I was worried if it was just the levels that wasn't high enough that it might affect the (possible) pregnancy. I've been trying not to get my hopes up and not to get my DP hopes up (also easier said than done) Thanks for your help, much appreciated :)

mama31 · 03/10/2013 08:56

Well I've decided to half my b6 dose to 25mg....just for piece of mind! Its an experiment really (which I am unhappy about) but I want to keep taking it but don't want to delay ovulation so will see what happens.....

Eugh!!!! Why is ttc so technical?!!!! (Yes I'm still grumpy with af :()

crazylady2013 · 03/10/2013 08:41

Neurotic I have been reading up about no af but no BFP as I'm in the same boat (9 days late). There are a large number of women that don't show BFP until 2-4 wks late because there hormone levels are so low. Some even show negative when have blood test. They still go on to have healthy babies. I guess some of us just have to be patient (easy said than done) and know you are still in with a chance.

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 08:41

So 3 months of every symptom under the sun and not being pg I'm now failing to find one single one at 9 dpo.

This is obviously a symptom right.

Anyway, been reading up and because of the crazy amounts of progesterone produced after ov it seems we are destined to be tortured with pg symptoms whether we've conceived or not. And true pg symptoms don't normally materialise till a few weeks in. For me it seems to be the 8 week Mark when it all kicks off so I know I'm wasting my time desperately symptom spotting.
Doesn't stop me though Grin

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 08:35

Lucy: Thankyou very much. Hoping they show me what I want to see!

GillyBillyWilly · 03/10/2013 08:34

Poking my head in to say congratulations to all of you with BFPs!!!!! SmileThanks

sebsmummy1 · 03/10/2013 08:33

Argh I am now sitting here talking myself out of all the preggo symptoms I had a few hours ago. Roll on postman arriving with (hopefully) more pee sticks Grin

LH I think Clearblue are pretty sensitive, it gives the likelyhood percentage wise of giving an accurate result on the packet. I know it really jumps once you get to the days just before AF day and AF day itself. If you were going to try it four days early I would be prepared for a possible false negative.

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 08:33

Funkymonk: I'll be 11dpo tomorrow. What do you think???

I've just checked my CM and got a little bit of pink-tinged creamy stuff from right at my cervix (sorry to put anyone off their breakfast! Hmm ) - hoping that might be implantation rather than AF starting early again...

jaykay987 · 03/10/2013 08:23

Perhaps it's a sign.....! Smile

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 08:20

Ha populated! Hopefully prophetic!

jaykay987 · 03/10/2013 08:16
