Hi, I'm not sure if theres already a thread for those hoping for a +ive October. I'm on the +ive Sept one but my fertile window for this month has just passed without being able to try (got to get blood sugars stable before we can try) so next chance to try will be towards end of September (32ish cycle), which means I won't be in a position to test til October. If theres already an October thread please point me in that direction, if not, here we go!

Also just read on another thread about sore boobs being linked to progestrone so why do most pregnant women have sore boobs to start with?

hi all, good luck to all tasting mrs mac, dont test to early,

rubles, yes mrs mac is right yiu can have an implation up to 2 weeks after you get your line

MrsMcJnr · 02/10/2006 14:50

N&T&B - sorry I missed you

I'll be testing on Friday if AF does not turn up on Thurs but I know 11dpo is still early and I'll get a good idea from my temps I guess if things are going to work out. Even a longer LP than 10 dpo would be an achievement. Feel so close and so far away, always feel like that at this stage in the cycle though! Thanks for all the good vibes and babydust.

Hope you feel a bit better soon!!

MrsMcJnr · 02/10/2006 14:46

Congratulations Tili!! I am so pleased for you!!

See all you guys who join us when you know you are pg!! you come on here and raise our BFP numbers and give us all so much hope and faith...who do you think you are?! Thank you for sharing with us!

Hello to all the newbies!

Fingers crossed for you NuttyMum.

Rubles - I thought implantation dips could happen (mainly) between 7dpo and 10dpo so 10 dpo wouldn't be too late. Don't want to give false hope but it's not over yet chick.

Hello Divamummy - tell us your signs! we are always trying to pinpoint what it is that lets people just know that they are pg, it's a bit like describing an elephant it seems!

Sending you big hugs Natty, I hate doctors, needles the works so I can just imagine how down you feel.

Thanks RachelRose - hope you are well. The meeting was hard but won't know outcomes for a few days yet, nerve wracking!

NattyandThomasandBump · 02/10/2006 14:38

Tili · 02/10/2006 13:55

Afternoon ladies.
Had my scan this morning im 10+5 wks and im just having the one !! was having weird dreams over the weekend that it was twins!! But there was one little beanie swimming about happily.
Im having another scan in 3 weeks to get the proper measurements as today was purely just to get a date.So my bubs is due 26th April.

Im so relieved that all is well ,was so worried.

nuttymum1 · 02/10/2006 13:29

hi all hope you are all well i havnt been on for a couple of weeks as was changing my internet over to sky i havnt read all the posts as there are so many of them! my af was due sat but no sigh of her yet and i havnt really had the "i gonna come on" feelings either but i did only stop my pill a month ago so it could just be my body going mad!

sideways · 02/10/2006 13:25

rubles, you can join me for a miserable self-absorbed day!

endlesslove · 02/10/2006 13:05

Hi girlies

I am on CD34 and am feeling like AF is about to arrive. Just feel a little dull in tummy area and I think I need to go to anger management classes after the way I have been this weekend with DH! PMS is not a nice feeling is it! I also have quite yellow CM (sorry if TMI!).

Still hopeful for a BFP but am starting to feel doubtful now.

Need a bit of cheering up I think - shopping sounds good!

RachelRose · 02/10/2006 12:34

So sorry to hear from the ladies that are feeling down. One day soon it'll you sharing symptoms and BFP's.

Rubles, you are not being self-absorbed at all. If we can't say how we feel on here then where can we. Unless people in RL are trying as hard ttc as those here then it will be hard for them to understand the disappointment if it doesn't happen. I hope things look brighter for you soon.

MrsMcJ - I'll be keeping fingers crossed that your meeting goes well and there's still a full time job there if you want it. And BIG congratualtions on the birth of your second cousin (?). Orson is a fab name!!! Hopefully that small dip in your temps are not bad news. It was only a very small drop...

I know what you mean Feedmenow - I can't wait to get going trying again next month. But by then it'll already be verging on November, Where has this year gone eh?

Natty1806 · 02/10/2006 12:00

Thanks for trying to cheer me up ladies. I just feel like i want to cry today which is very very unlike me. Blood test went bad tok 3 attempts in each arm before they had to get a finer needle to do it so i have sore arms now and bloody tape stuck to my hairs.

Congrats to all the BFP's that keep popping up.

Big hugs to all who feel as down as me today. x

bubble78 · 02/10/2006 11:43

nice to see you on here too divamummy

divamummy · 02/10/2006 11:00

hiya,
shall i join you girls. i have been ttc on and off since june. but im quite sure that im pg this month. im not due till 10th, so i got to wait impatiently till then and test.
wishing everyone positive october.
diva

rubles · 02/10/2006 10:40

feedmenow - know what you mean about wishing the time away. btw - take the EPO BEFORE ov only, start when AF arrives and stop when you have ovulated.

rubles · 02/10/2006 10:38

Natty, it's too early yet to get down. I'm afraid I can't look at your cycle because I'm at work but I'll try and look tonight.

I'm afraid my temps dipped today to just 0.1 over coverline. I am 10dpo so it's too late for an implantation dip. I can't tell you how dismal I feel, I just want to go back to bed and curl up and cry...my hopes were up for this month and now it seems to be coming to an end. I reckon I can expect to see some sort of spotting over the next couple of days - I'm due Wednesday at the earliest but maybe it's coming early. Am so, so, for myself.

Sorry that is all so self-absorbed, isn't it.

Mrs Mc - good luck for today...what's the job? A dip at 7dpo is no bad sign - let's hope that after tomorrow it starts to rise even higher.

bubble78 · 02/10/2006 10:37

hi all im quite new to this but just thought i would join in my af is due on 14th october only been trying for 2 months but thats all it took with ds. so hoping the test will be positive this month

feedmenow · 02/10/2006 10:21

Morning everyone! Hope a good weekend was had by all.
Natty - I can't believe you're already talking about a November thread! Its amazing how time flies when we're ttc and how easy it is to write a whole month off at the first sign of af. I feel like I'm wishing time away, IYKWIM, cos I want the next 10 days or so to go quickly to get me to ov then the 2ww after thatto zoom by so that I can find out. It will be Christmas before we all know it.
Anyway, my plan for the month is just to give the grapefruit a go up to ov. And is it EPO I should take after ov? And if I have no joy this month Iwill probably invest in a thermometer. But fingers crossed (and legs not ) that it doesn't get to that!!

MrsMcJnr · 02/10/2006 09:57

Sideways.

Hello Andi and Coggy - know you'll be on here later thanks for all the good vibes, returning them caked in babydust (and the stickiest stuff for you Andi! )

MrsMcJnr · 02/10/2006 09:50

Hello, hello ladies! I gained a new family member last night, my cousin gave birth to a baby boy, Orson!

I have tons of catching up to do here! First, quick update from me 7dpo, temps still high but dipped today by .3c but still .4c above coverline. New symptom is hungover feeling for last couple of days though I'm not. Don't FEEL different though so don't think there is anything there.

Welcome to all the new ladies and congratulations to all those with BFP, superb! Remember to share your secrets with us (thank you Florentine ).

Things are looking good at the mo for Natty (should re re-named to NaughtyNurseyNatty!! ), Rubles & Rubyroo!

Hello bumpy ladies! hope scan goes well Tili thanks for the good vibes N&T&B - sounds like it is a good idea for you to give up work, sounds very physical anyway. Re your healthy cravings - I remember a stunning women in my pilates class, her baby was a month old and her figure was amazing and when we asked what her cravings had been she said ice, we hated her! (not you though ). Take care of yourself.

DD1 - hope you are feeling less jaded today. That BD might have done it on CD11 you know but the City break does sound like a great opportunity if not!

Hello RachelRose - viewing on Sat seemed to go ok but you never know do you! hope you had a good weekend.

Hello Desperate - yes, it's the big day, pretty worried but nothing I can do! Thanks for remebering!

Hello to all I have not mentioned by name and lashings and lashings of babydust to all!

sideways · 02/10/2006 09:32

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend.

Not really much hope this month for me, due on Wednesday and have just noticed the first bit of tell-tale spotting. Feeling really pissed off as I thought the holiday might do it.

DH is away for all the strategic time next month so that's me finished until December

Good luck to everyone else.

desperate2bmum · 02/10/2006 09:26

congratulations come back summer.

mrsmcjnr - i shall be checking on here regular today to see if you have got any exciting news for us....

nothing to report here i am cd6 going to start opks as of cd8 as i think because my cycles have gone from 28days to 26days maybe i am ovulating earlier now. am noticing a small improvement with the grapefruit juice already looking forward to checking out pre-seed too
dp is working soo hard atthe moment bding is rather an effort and he keeps turning me down so not looking good so far this month....

mrsmcjnr - is it today you have got a big meeting about your job? i am biting the bullet too and applying for others today. good luck x

comebacksummer · 02/10/2006 09:07
