The bangs turn into bfp's on the November bus! That's firework bangs you filthy lot...

Morning all,

Thinking of you this morning Choccy.

Feeling a little delicate this morning as I had a few too many wines last night!!

10 days past ovulation today (I think) with AF due on Wednesday. No symptoms really, but yesterday I was very swollen in my lower abdomen - felt very tight. Apart from that I'm still eating the same, no sickness and no sore boobs. So I don't think it's happened for me this time. I'd rather test and get negatives than find out when I go to the loo, I think, so might test tomorrow. Is that too soon? I'd rather not test on a week day and then have to go to school and teach! Have cheaply strip tests from the internet but the sound on the packaging like they're pretty sensitive...?

mama you're still in til AF shows. Hang in there x

funky brilliant! A 12-monther to give me hope!! And Christmas Eve ! Fantastic! Can you give me details - dtd days; did you do anything different? Any symptoms? Congratulations!

sazzle where are you in cycle?

imaginary so sorry to hear your news.

choccy I really feel for you. I really do. It must be awful.

Thank you ladies! sazzle and m33r you can do it!

Sorry to those af has got and sympathies to choccy. Look after yourself xxx

Well that me out, Af here early

Thanks. Have seen a fair few ppl get a bfp the cycle after a chem/mc so I'm hoping to be in the same boat with a bit of festive luck.

Mama how are you doing, has the spotting got any heavier? I think people can still get spotting and go on to get a bfp so dont count yourself out for sure just yet. Will keep my fingers crossed for you for a bit longer yet for sure.

Imaginary - I'm so sorry to hear your news but I'm glad you are getting straight back into TTC again and I hope you have more success next month x

Choccy, I really, really hope that your scan shows everything to be ok next week. Tuesday must seem like an absolute age away for you, I hope you manage to get through the weekend without too much anxiety and my fingers really are crossed for you x

Lucy - congratulations on AF!! Who'd thought we'd be saying things like that on this thread?? I hope you get your BFP soon and you have a healthy pregnancy x

mama - sorry that your spotting has arrived. We all understand why you are feeling disheartened but it's good news that your blood results came back as normal. Just stay positive, it will happen for you x

So sorry to hear that imaginary!!! Hugs to you x

Thankyou sazzle x

Wow so much to catch up on, and my goodness that was a lot of homework for a bus driver, conductor hat off to you choccy you made it look easy keeping track of things!

Right firstly the good news. MrsC and Funky that is great news. Especially funky after waiting so long, it gives me and fellow 12th cycler m33r hope this month.

And sad news. Oh mama and choccy no, no, no. That is so unfair - why is this ttc lark so cruel? I really feel for you both. Mama I'm glad you are being so upbeat about it here, and I'm glad you are sorted with and chocolate for the weekend. You really do deserve it. And choccy, I've left you in the bfp bit for now. I won't take you out until you know for sure, or until you ask me too. I hope you are getting some rest and you get answers you need next week. Sending you both hugs xxx

Oh choccy I really hope things work out for you, thinking of you. Mama so sorry the spotting has started, I can't believe it after that test. Lucy, so glad af turned up for you after so long (although a bfp would have been ideal at a least you can get cracking again now!) Congrats to the bfps too, glad to see some good news here too.

Well I got my blood results back from Wednesdays test (off the receptionist!) who said that my hcg has fallen from above 500 to 98. So that confirms it for me. I need to speak to the doc on Monday about the hormone/thyroid/iron results to check if theyre normal, but the hcg confirms I'm definitely off the November bus. I'm gonna hop across to the December bus now but thank you so much to you ladies for your support and kind words in what was a horrible week for me and dh. Wishing all of you the best of luck and hope not to see any of you on the December bus!

I'll definitely be popping my head in to see the rest of your bfps come rolling in!

Mama, you may be psychic- I'm on my second large glass of wine. Inhaled a milky bar (don't believe in nuts taking up chocolate space!) and am about to order an Indian! Also sat here with a hot water bottle and a cat warming me up nicely
Bring on the Christmas party bus x

Sounds awesome Lucy! Enjoy!! :) x

Sorry AF got you munday will see you soon on the next bus.

Mama - great news about the hormone levels so one thing not to worry about. It will happen for you and hopefully next cycle...in the meantime your treats sound perfick have a relaxing weekend x

I have apple pie and icecream tonight....deffo AF food!!!

*Darker than the control strip - that should read.

What's going on with my hormones and where's my egg ???

Just retested after holding pee for 4 hrs with no fluid intake and used my last pharmacy bought ov test- it says yes although it's not a straight line - just some spots on it where the line should be,they're showing darker than the test strip (I think it's faulty but shouldn't change colour at all if there's no hormone present) so also used an internet cheapy which says no

I hear you saying - 'just DTD Frogs'.... and you'd be right if we weren't trying to follow Shettles method for a boy thus needing the swimmers sent in as close to ov as possible.

Sorry Munday!!!!! Do what I'm doing.....just filled my fridge (like literally filled it) with wine and beer, about to order Indian and I have a massive wholenut choc bar x2 also so that's my wkend of pampering sorted :)

Ding ding please mrs bus driver can I get off. AF found me this afternoon. Gutted as we really put the effort in DTD almost every day
Sorry to hear about your news Choccy- really hope you don't need to get the December bus.
Congratulations to the new BFPs, great news.
Think I'll be away a while to lick my wounds, but I'll lurk to check the final November count. Good luck everyone xxx

god, this is like joy and agony this whole ride... I'm so sorry choccy, really hoping it isn't the bad news you are thinking.
I'm with mama, the small silver lining to no bfp for me would be getting to have some bev's, get the party season out the way then getting upduffed. In an ideal world we'd all be getting our bfps now though!!

Thanks moffit, yes this ttc is no joke! Going to treat myself to some yummy food and lots and lots of wine!!! Blood results were all normal so I guess I should be thankful about that.

Can't believe I'm on cycle 6! Never forseen this at all! How naive I was to think it would happen so quickly and easily!

Sorry choccy, get plenty of rest, hope you're getting some tlc in RL as well as on here!!

Sorry for you too mama, this ttc business can be cruel!!

Massive congrats Funky!!!!! Cycle 12! Well done you and we'll deserved! I'm sure it's extra special after the wait :)

Congrats also mrsc!!!

Choccy so gutted to hear your news!!!! Really hoping it works out ok for you and that you won't have to join December bus!!! Hugs to you my love, what an emotional rollercoaster for you xx I'm not quite ready for December bus just yet choccy think ill lie low for a bit to rebuild some positivity! But when I do, I plan to have lots of festive cheer on the December bus!!!

Keep the BFP'S coming ladies!!! Looks like ill be drinking alcohol at my Christmas parties early December....every cloud.......
