I know its waaay early for a November bus to set off but AF arrived today kicking me off the September bus and with DH away next month the October bus is not an option. Anyone fancy joining me in the long wait? I don't expect much action on this thread for a few weeks but it would be nice to have some company. My stats are below:

iamevan, 35, TTC#2, cycle 6, BFP due 7th November

Morning Ladies,

Welcome to all the newbies and bus transfers.

Man I feel sicky today symptom only 5dpo though arghhh its going to be a longggg tww

Stuck at work till 1pm and can not be bothered to do anything lol

How lovely would it be if we all graduated at the same time to the an boards

Sorry - MaMaPoBlush

TheProofIsInThePudding · 25/10/2014 09:43

toots I'm in the same boat as you - due 14th November. All OPKs negative so far, but that's to be expected. The luteal phase is usually 14 days, which means we should be ovulating on Friday, so not getting positives until the end of the week. Panic not!

Yes MaMoPo we are shagging regardless just in case!

MaMaPo · 25/10/2014 08:53

Hello all. I'm on this bus and using cbfm for the first time. All lows so far so hoping it will start to show as high soon - I'm CD11. I probably should be shagging regardless of the cbfm readings - you never know!

chubbocat · 25/10/2014 08:51

i will hop on the bus, AF (but hopefully not!) due 13th novemeber!

Quietlyhopeful81 · 25/10/2014 08:51

Thanks Spinning. Got my hopes up waaaaay too high this month after the lightest (and shortest) af in my personal history which was silly really, since it was only cycle #2. Symptom spotting was my new hobby, but I'm fairly new to actively trying so I'm hoping I'll chill out a bit more for the next few months at least! Tracking my cycle but not temping just yet. Maybe I'll give that a try in the next couple of months ??

tootssw17 · 25/10/2014 08:37

Have just done my third day clear blue dual test and did a drunken ic opk last night when I came home from dh bday. Both negative - which is lucky in a screwed up way as he was no use to me last night or this am in his state to dtd ! If I am due to bfp on 14th nov surely I should be getting Smile or a line- on either test! Anyone else ov now for their cd 10 and getting something/anything??

Beginning my oh god please make this a Standard style cycle and not a 43 day one again panic.

Going back to bed to nurse hangover and wallow in self pity.

Morning Grin

Welcome Huff and Quietly, good luck to you bothGrin

Flower, stay here with us as long as long as you like.

Quietlyhopeful81 · 25/10/2014 07:40

Hi all! I've been a bit of a lurker for the past month but a bfn this morning after a strange October af finally prompted me to jump on a bus to chat with like minded travellers for company instead of just eavesdropping on conversations while pretending to read the paper. Hope that's ok.

My stats: 32 (for another few weeks at least), ttc #2 (#1 is 11 and with a previous partner), cycle 3, bfp due 15th November

Great to meet you all. Fx for everyone :)

MrsGingerbread · 25/10/2014 03:05

I'm awake again. As much as I'd love to call it a symptom this is the second night I've fallen asleep around 9pm (new earlier routine with dh's new job) so early waking is to be expected!

Welcome to all of our new joiners! Sorry that the witch has turned up for lots of you from the October bus. :(

flowerbombVR · 25/10/2014 02:01

It's the middle of the night ! I'm getting used to this time of late...
just on to remove my butt from my comfy seat on the pregvembor bus :)
You lot are not getting rid of me that easily though as I am right here cheering you lot on, autumn beans galore Wink
Pom Poms are at the ready xx

Boosk · 24/10/2014 23:50

Loving all the positivity over here! I feel like total crap with af right now but at least I can add my stats.

Boosk, TTC #1, cycle 3, BFP due 20 November 3rd

Huffs123 · 24/10/2014 22:30

Jumping on board, this is our first month ttc #2!

I'm still on maternity leave with ds (9months) but have been made redundant. We've suddenly realised I need to get busy with number 2 to be able to claim maternity allowance, so here I am! Shock

Huffs123, 32, Cycle #1, dc2, bfp due 7 November!

Treaclepie19 · 24/10/2014 21:27

Yay :) hehe.
Obviously we're going to going to get pregnant this month!

spinningirl10 · 24/10/2014 21:24

Treacle, first babies are nearly always late so you can straddle 2 busesGrin

Hello! Just popping in to say a quick hello. Not caught up yet, really busy day looking after our niece. 9 year old girls talk A LOT!

My soy arrived today, so trying days 5-9 for a nice strong egg. I'm still taking crack epo but have given up on the grapefruit juice as it seemed to make me really snotty! Might try pineapple juice after ovulation.

I also got a big bag of midstream ovulation kits in the post. I thought they would be easier to use at work than the dippy kind.

AF is almost gone, can't wait to start the dtd-a-thon. Happy Friday everyone Smile

Treaclepie19 · 24/10/2014 20:25

Ugh :( well spinning my due date this month would be the 29th july. Wouldn't want to be on different buses though!

Tempting fate with the july baby as I'd be having to start my maternity leave over the sunmer holiday when everyone would be off anyway!

spinningirl10 · 24/10/2014 20:23

Ahh I see there's a due in July thread on the AN boards now, I know there's a few of us here that we're hoping to be signing in thereHmm

So Come on ladies let's bring on the acupuncture, reflexology, crack epo, soy isoflavones, naked upside down pedalling and any other crazy things we can think of and we can all get our bfp's and have lovely summer August babies GrinGrin

broodylicious · 24/10/2014 19:45

Welcome to the newbies - many of you Pregtober-ettes sadly. This will be a good month for bfps though because as sunbathing said, the law of averages means we have to have a bumper pregvember to make up for a disappointing Pregtober. Let's do it!!

Blue500 · 24/10/2014 19:08

Evening all.

Ok so 3/4dpo and I have bad Af style cramps already and feeling sicky. I know it's absolute wishing thinking to think it's leading a BFP but I really hope af isn't going to make an early arrival. Likewise I hope I'm not going to have these cramps for the next wk or so before af arrives.

Dozygirl · 24/10/2014 17:26

Missed your post earlier april. I use my me strike cup which is similar. Also debated leaving it in all day but I figured that was a bit too far so I took it out this morning. Overnight should be just fine.

Treaclepie19 · 24/10/2014 14:54

Oh bloody hell. I'm so sorry to see so many of you lovely ladies here with af :(
She has been a right bitch to me this month! So painful.
Had a training day at work today and all I could think was that I should be off to start maternity today but instead I had to bring all my folders home and worry about everything that's going on.
Gah!!!

gennibugs · 24/10/2014 14:45

Hi all. waves to familiar names and newbies.

AF bitch slapped me this morning so here I am. she's an epic cow.

Please can I be added to the stats?

gennibugs, ttc#1, cycle 12 (how the heck did that happen?????) bfp due 23 November.

ic opks ordered, pregnancy chair commandeered and soy here I come. "project upduffed in 12 months" commences here! Grin

I'm asking santa for bfps for us all by Christmas!

ohlordyplordy · 24/10/2014 14:23

Eugh excuse the spelling, I'm on my phone with a cracked screen!
