November bus opening doors- all aboard for BFPs!!!

Congrats kili! Proof yet again that thread starters get bfps!

Welcome isa You're welcome to ride this crazy bus with us.

I think it was this thread where we were talking about twins? I'd originally said "oh heck, no, defo not for me!!" but now, I actually cannot stop thinking/obsessing about having twins!! It'd be crazy and lord knows I really struggled with PND after having dd (brought on by sleep deprivation) but somehow, i quite like the idea now. Mental, crazy ttc lady.

Come join us Isabeau! You can always straddle the December bus as well

Hi guys,

Not sure whether to come here or start a December thread. My cycle is all over the place.

Anyway here are my stats.
Isabeau1980 34 TTC #1 Cycle 4 BFP 25th November to 1st December

Congratulations Kilicat! Great news

Wow, lots of fab symptoms ladies.
Blueberry, I really hope this is your month.
Ceds, a lot of ladies who have got their BFPs have reported a lot of cm, the spotting could well be implantation.
Misty, sounds promising. FX for a BFP within the next day or two. I hope you feel better soon, you too Cariad.

My 2ww insomnia has kicked in. Keep waking up early and not being able to get back to sleep. Have been having very mild cramps for the last day or two and have had thrush type symptoms since last night - broke my self-imposed google ban and apparently it can be an early pregnancy sign. Have also broken my no Mumsnet at work ban. I have no will power.

cariad I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you've got something similar to what I have - it's rubbish.

Just been to the pharmacist to ask advice on what I can take safely just in case the BFP is real (she thought it looked like an early positive, but agreed that I should not get carried away just yet, as it was outside the time limit).
I've come away with a steam cup contraption to try to soothe the sore throat, and have stocked up on lemon and honey. I will be REALLY hacked off if it turns out to be a BFN after all - I want to dose myself up on nightnurse and lemsip, but just erring on the side of caution.

Bought a couple more tests as well while I was there-she advised to wait a couple of days before retesting (not sure I can manage that)

Morning Ladies,

Ceds Lightening crotch is literally that sharp pains in your crotch. I had it last cycle but no BFP sadly.
Theres no way to tell if your ovulating now dtd just incase.

IamEvan Sorry your feeling a bit down its only early days yet hun you just need try and relax (eaisier said than done I know). Not everyone gets cm but alot of girls take EPO to help with that.

Misty fx its a bfp

want and Spinning im 9dpo today and yes there was lots of dtd as always!! I wont test until im late 18 months of bfns I cant keep doing it.

Congrats Kilicat

Cariad I took 2000epo this month and had loads of EWCM

So as I said im 9dpo today my weird symptoms are as follows and probably not symptoms sneezing loads, constipation, very sore nipples and today my whole boobs hurt, not sleeping to well and mild cramps since ovulation

Morning all cd20 here, I am confused, have been having cramps for days, mild cramps though it should be said, now been to toilet and a bit of light blood spotting. 4 days of ewcm stopped 3 days ago - is there any way I could be ovulating now with thick cm? dont temp or use OPKs so no idea whether I've ov'd or not already or am now?

Get well soon Cariad

Congrats Kilikat.

Thanks for the EPO tips Lucie and Spinning. Think I might stop taking it now and see what impact it has on my cm (particularly as I'm still taking Berocca, which I understand has the opposite effect). We've stocked up on Preseed so I'm hoping we'll be covered even if the Berocca dries me out completely!

CD6 and still feeling utterly horrific with a sore throat and head cold. Have told DH that if I haven't recovered by the weekend, we might have to skip ttc this month as I'm feeling so ill right now, I can't really afford to be immuno-suppressed as well . I normally recover pretty quickly from these sorts of things, but suspect my body's still not 100% after my ectopic. Apologies for the me me me post - I promise I'll be on better form tomorrow.

congratulations kilicat. Fab news.

cd6 here - boring. DH and I gearing up for a quieter week next week so we can fit in lots of dtd

Congratulations kilikat that's brilliant news
BFP news always cheers me up!

Sorry Proof crossed posts, hope DH apologises and all is sorted soon!

Congrats Kilicat - I'm definitely taking that as a good omen!!

Morning all,

Great news Blueberry

Well done for not asking awkward questions Proof. I'm mostly feeling irrationally cross around preggo friends atm . Can't helps with the OPKs I'm afraid - they are a mystery to me!

Sorry you're feeling a bit rubbish evan, and thank you for starting the thread.

Misty that all sounds a bit traumatic :( I've been told it's a 4 hour hold for poas, but can never manage it myself as I have a tiny bladder! Have you got a FRER? Might give a more reliable result? Fingers crossed.

I'm 4dpo. Had a ridiculous amount of cm yesterday (sorry tmi), would love that to be a symptom, but I've now convinced myself I might have o'd late. DH had to go back home Sunday (I'm on holiday with my parents) which would mean we missed it. Boo.

Hopefully it's a sign of lots more BPFs that are just around the corner for everyone

Kilicat, Congratulations on your bfp how fabulous to manage it first cycle.

Misty, how frustrating. All you can do is wait but I know that's not easy. Hope you feel better soon

Want, it's quite easy to miss peak, maybe it happened overnight but you've done well with dtd, I would just keep going if you can and hopefully you'll catch that egg

It looks like I may have jumped on the wrong bus! Decided to ttc just under two weeks ago assuming it would take several months, however think I was ovulating at the time as get a small amount of pain every month. Don't exactly know the date of last period (feel a bit ignorant compared to everyone on here as not been tracking things closely) but had decided 1/2Nov is when I could first test. However, got impatient last night (after tiredness, nausea and sore boobs) and used a test that claims to work up to six days before AF is due....and after a few mins a super faint pink line appeared. I didn't quite believe it so drove straight to the supermarket to get another one and did it first thing and it's definitely a BFP! Am I right in thinking that a BFP is likely to be accurate? It's all been a bit of a whirlwind!!

Morning

Mamapo, good to see you. Fx for you.

Proof, sorry you fell out with dh, hope you make up soon. It's shit when you argue

I take 2000mg of epo. Sometimes I get more ewcm but not always. It's good for you in other ways so I keep taking it.
Cd6 here and took soy last night, taking from cd5-9 this cycle. Woken up with a headache which happened last cycle so it's definitely a soy symptom.

Morning all! Happy Wednesday!

misty that sounds positive fx you get another line when you test again with fmu!

CD13 here not much to add... OPKs still negative dtd on 6, 9, 11, 12. Still no idea if ov'd or not. If bfn this month I am definitely temping next month! Still going for the 14 nov poas party

blueberry how many dpo are you? Did you manage to do lots of dtd? When will you test?

Thanks Cariad, really hope this bus is lucky! Last month I took 3000mg of epo as I had read a lot of people on here were taking increased doses. The 2 months prior to that I was taking 1000mg. For me the increased dose didn't help at all. Whilst taking 1000mg I had quite a bit of ewcm but with the 3000mg I had none. I found ovulation was delayed 2 out of the 3 months but even more so with the 3000mg and I'm worried that this had a knock on effect on my luteal phase so I'm going to see how I get on without them this month. We have been using preseed and conceive plus so hopefully that's makes up for lack of ewcm in normal cycles.

Had a stupid row with DH last night so no DTD, and very little sleep. I'm pretty this morning.

Boosk! We're almost cycle twins again. Cd8 for me :)

Morning ladies!

Just checking in to say hello, I haven't read back yet so I've no idea what you've all been up to but I'm looking forward to seeing the bus setting off on Saturday.

Only cd7 here so nothing happening yet. Just waiting on the arrival of my bbt and opks.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Just realised how moany and negative my last post sounds - sorry!

I am actually brimming over with excitement but trying to suppress it - I have been excited and then disappointed before (although never by a stonking great pink line, it must be said).

Sitting here with tissues stuffed up each nostril staring at yesterday's test (and ignoring today's of course). How long do I need to hold my wee for, do you think, before I can do another test?

Oh I am so hacked off and semi-excited at the same time, I don't know what to do with myself.

Yesterday I got a bit over-enthused while reading about cold symptoms being related to implantation, especially as so many people reported it around the 8dpo/9dpo mark, which is about where I am. So I picked up a couple of cheap tests in Tesco to be prepared. Then on getting home, I couldn't resist cracking one of them open - seriously, I knew it was too early but I couldn't help myself, it was just crying out to be peed on.

Of course BFN. Even 15 minutes later. But after half an hour or so when I fished it out of the bin to make sure took another look, there was a massive pink line that wasn't there before.
I told myself not to get excited as it was way outside the time, and planned to test with FMU this morning

But the stupid cold has got worse and worse, I have been up all night, and drinking lots of teas/water all through the night to soothe my throat and ease the congestion. So FMU was very dilute, and naturally it's another BFN (even an hour later). Bugger. I can't even take anything for the cold while I am in limbo, and I'm going to have to venture out of the house to restock on tests.
