Sorry about af Barmy. Hope the Feb bus will be the one for you. Christmas, good luck, this ttc takes a lot of patience eh! I'm still waiting for AF/BFP, now 16 dpo/cycle day 31...normally cycles 27-29 days so I think AF officially late but I'm still way too scared to test. Actually the longer I wait the worse it's getting as I'm getting my hopes up and having never seen a + hpt in my life, i just cant imagine it! Symptoms so far:very light occasional cramping, boobs bit sore fr 1st time ever last few days, no spotting or other signs of AF, very tired (but not been getting enough sleep so mate normal). Testing tomorrow or maybe Monday.

Oh barmy I'm sorry, that is really crap! But your positivity is amazing! We will all get our longed for bfps, I'm sure you'll have your little Robert/Robyn soon. That really is a lovely story! Good luck for the feb bus. x

Still nothing to report here. No symptoms at all, apart from some weird implantation? spotting! No idea when I'm due so going to hold out til next friday. Have guests coming and want to know if i can drink or not!

Sorry that af is here Barmy. I was convinced you were gonna get a full on bfp. Good luck for February. Thanks
I still have no news. Pain is still there but have had no spotting or anything to suggest af. Dh on at me about poas, but I'm gonna stay away from them for a couple more days until af really is late. Monday would be deffo late so hopefully I get there.

barmybunting · 25/01/2014 07:55

Thank you sazzle Smile . I am lurking about for the Oct antenatal thread to hear your very happy, healthy and lovely news about your pregnancy over the next few months too! You have also given me a very good excuse to try reflexology, as I have always wanted to, so that the plan for Feb. I'm off to sort that now as DH shows no sign of waking up any time soon Smile . Thank you, I will enjoy that glass of wine with said haggis tonight, and we have a ceilidh on that we are going to with some friends so I will be enjoying some proper dancing too!

sazzlehopes · 25/01/2014 07:42

Oh barmy I'm sorry you are out. It is a lovely story about your wedding. I really hope you get your little 'Burns baby' soon. You are very positive which must help. I'll be lurking to see it happen next month. Enjoy a glass of wine tonight with your haggis xx

sazzlehopes · 25/01/2014 07:38

Barmy I really hope it's not another chem. fx for you this morning xx

barmybunting · 25/01/2014 07:37

Morning Smile .

Thank writer and spinning. I'm off to the Feb bus though. Not much more overnight but bright red spotting now so af has to be on her way. I enjoyed the Jan bus and would far rather stay here, but needs must I guess. Whatever this funny cycle it has been for me, if it was a chem, these things happen for a reason I guess. I know this will probably sound daft, but one of the main things I'm sad about with this is that today is Burns Day, and I had been so looking forward to telling DH today because we have long joked that our first DS would be Robert or DD Robyn as a middle name because of Burns as the minister at our wedding who married us joked that she hoped we would bring back lots of little Roberts or Robyns to the church in time as it is in a village that Burns was reputed to have stayed in, and written a poem on the fire place (still there today) of the hotel we held our reception in. But maybe Burns Day is just meant to be cd1 for the cycle than is more successful I hope Smile .

Good luck to everyone still waiting to test! I will be hanging about to read some more good news about bfps over the next few days.

Writer you have done an amazing job with the stats, thank you!

Really hope it's not af BarmyThanks

Regina you have will power!! I would have poas numerous by now...with or without dhGrin

ReginaFelange22 · 24/01/2014 22:49

Still nowt! Good luck to everyone, so much is going on!

I have no symptoms whatsoever, except that AF is late. Not long and then I can test if need be lol!! Had my normal pre-AF symptoms though!!

Writerwannabe83 · 24/01/2014 21:54

Oh Barmy - life can appear to be very shitty at times. I really, really, really hope it hasn't been a Chemical again and that this spotting is just residual implantation bleeding or something. I will be crossing my fingers and toes for you Thanks x x

barmybunting · 24/01/2014 21:46

Good luck for tomorrow itsChristmas Smile . Not sure what that pain could be? Hopefully just a one off thing for you.

I think I'll be heading to the Feb bus tomorrow, spotting has started tonight, but strange dark brown coloured. 17dpo today I think, similar timing to last month's chem preg bleeding. I don't know if this has been the same or just coincidentally evap lines on tests earlier this week. I guess tomorrow will tell whether it turns into full af. No poas for me tomorrow I don't think.

ItsChristmaass · 24/01/2014 21:40

Barmy I may poas tomorrow morn..
The pain in right side is gradually getting worse and spreading into my back and thigh. Worrying me a bit. Confused

barmybunting · 24/01/2014 19:13

That's what I'm hoping writer Smile thanks!

northernlass I have read that it's been up to five days late before some people see bfp so I'm hopeful it's true! Good luck!

itschristmas when are you planning to test? Sounding hopeful!

Sorry that af appeared Charlie. good luck for Feb!

Writerwannabe83 · 24/01/2014 18:58

barmy - hopefully your afternoon urine was just too dilute for the HCG to be detected and I hope you get more positive results in the morning. I will be updating the Bus Stats and BFP list tomorrow and really hope I get to put you on it x x

Charlie343 · 24/01/2014 18:57

Evening ladies. AF is on it's way so off the bus for me! Good luck to those still waiting!

northernlass81 · 24/01/2014 18:47

Still waiting here too! Now AF is 2 days late and I've been so regular the last 6 months. Boobs hurt and generally tired but bfn this am. Trying to wait till Monday to retest unless AF shows. How late have other people's bfps shown after AF due?

ItsChristmaass · 24/01/2014 18:29

STILL nothing to report! No af cramps just ache on right side. No bleeding or even cm.. What is going on?!
Still too scared to poas! Blush

barmybunting · 24/01/2014 17:59

I'm still hanging about on this bus too Smile . Was determined not to retest until this morning after some very faint lines earlier in the week, but for some reason decided to test yesterday pm, bfn. So not testing for me today! Not sure what's going on, cd39 currently and af definitely late but scared of another chem preg after last months early lines then bleeding. Will be poas tomorrow morning in hope of a definitive answer!

Joining the prodding club too!

Aisha18 · 24/01/2014 17:46

Am so glad there are plenty of other boob prodders! I actually tried jumping up and down today to test if they hurt! I think they do a bit..certainly more conscious of them than normal, or more crazy than normal. And no AF all day...I want to poas, AF was supposed to be yday, today at latest. I'm not going to poas. Agghhhh I so want to have a BFP this month, it's a mental torture...think I need to get some more hobbies and stop obsessing!

bugoven · 24/01/2014 16:14

Congratulations to all bfps! Come join us on the September Antenatal Club thread, we're very chatty! If your EDD is October why not start the club yourself and we'll keep you company until more join. 2014 is such a good year for babies! Loads of my friends have been TTC, like me, 2 years + and got their bfps this month!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 24/01/2014 14:37

I want sore boobs! Not even slightly sore here tho! FFS!

Lovecuppy · 24/01/2014 14:00

I too admit to being an obsessed boob prodder.... Also obsessed with just looking at them to see if there bigger :-)

HollyBen · 24/01/2014 13:32

I regularly make my boobs sore through all the prodding to see if they are sore! They are sore by the way. Though this appears to be fairly normal post ov Confused Great idea for the end of month poas party English

bellaboo88 · 24/01/2014 13:04

I'm going to join next Fridays poas party please!! Think it would be a nice way to end this very lucky bus.....I will only be 11dpo however last month spotting/AF got me on 10dpo but I was only just off the pill.

This is 2nd month off microgynon & my cycle has been identical to last month.

Hurry up next Friday, I'm itching to get my big envelope of ic's out!!!!

Aisha18 · 24/01/2014 12:56

Excellent!!
