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

april I used sift cups for the first time last cycle and got my bfp ( unfortunately gad a cp) and will definitely be using again.
I left tgem in overnight only. If you struggle to remove them ( I had a bit of a panic one morning as I couldn't reach it), pushing with your pelvic muscles shifts it downwards. Good luck with them x

CD8 here, EWCM yesterday and today and a nearly positive opk today. Looks like I may ovulate earlier this month! Last month I ov'd CD16. Hope I do ov earlier, saves some of the waiting! :) horrendous headaches tho, home from work early as was beginning to feel like a migraine. Tucked up in bed waiting for DH to get home and look after me

We were successful in dtd last night on my positive opk so I'm feeling quite content so far. Slipped the mooncup in to keep in place overnight. Out celebrating his bday tonight so hopefully he won't be too drunk to dtd again tonight. I'll have to get it out of him somehow lol. I think last night was Prob our best shot anyway.

Not very good at feeling my cervix as it's always quite high so I struggle to reach it but I 'think' it feels soft and high and maybe open so that's a good sign too.

Thanks mrsE for waving your Magic wand. I'm sure that'll being out lots of bfps this month.

Sorry, forgot to post the crucial but about when my BFP is due! Here goes again:

Cariad2014, 32, ttc#1, Cycle 6, BFP due 19 November

Cariad2014 · 24/10/2014 12:38

Just wondering whether I can join. AF arrived this morning so my WTF cycle is officially over. Woop woop! I had been toying with the idea of skipping this cycle as well, as some of the advice after ectopic pregnancies suggests waiting 2 cycles. However, we've decided to take the plunge and go for it, although my expectations for this cycle are fairly low.

Stats are as follows: Cariad2014, 32, ttc#1, cycle 6

Aprilray · 24/10/2014 12:38

Congratulations Luss!

It's disappointing to hear that Pregtober has been a bad month for BFPs, it got off to such a good start with 4 in the first 2 days! FX very tightly for Pregvember.

Anyone else using softcups?- tried one for the first time last night. How long are you supposed to leave it in for? I took it out this morning (with a little bit of difficulty!) but was debating leaving it in all day.

Happy Friday everyone btw!

Mumwannabe82 · 24/10/2014 12:23

Ordered off Amazon! Don't really know why I didnt do that in the first place, probably the impatient side of me lol xx

Mumwannabe82 · 24/10/2014 12:15

Thank you xx think I might need to do that then! It wasn't a waste of money as you never know when a digital thermometer might come in handy lol xx Grin

spinningirl10 · 24/10/2014 12:11

Mum, lucies right, it needs to have 2 decimal places. I ordered from Amazon and it came quite quicklyGrin

lucieloos · 24/10/2014 11:57

I ordered mine from babymad on amazon it didn't take long to come.

lucieloos · 24/10/2014 11:57

I think it needs to have 2 decimal places mumwannabe or it won't be accurate enough as the temp changes can be quite small so you won't see them with only one decimal place.

Mumwannabe82 · 24/10/2014 11:23

So after seeing lots of you lovely ladies talking about temping, I thought I would give it go but can't get a basal thermometer anywhere unless I order online so I bought a normal digital one, will it work do you think? It has a decimal place too!!!

spinningirl10 · 24/10/2014 09:12

Ah Dozy, it's hard not to let the frustration of ttc get to us sometimes. Hopefully as it's the weekend you'll get lots of time to dtdWink

Purple, fx you did ov. I think I will take soy, maybe cd4-9. I think there's quite a few of us taking it this month.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/10/2014 08:57

Can I take a spare seat up the back? Just thought I'd wave my godmotherly wand over you all for a while! Let's magic some of those pumpkins into sticky beans instead Grin

Thepurplegiraffe · 24/10/2014 08:54

Sorry AF arrived Spinning I thought maybe you had a chance there, do you know what you will do about Soy yet.

I had an awful night as well MrsG but mine was due to dd so no chance of being a symptom. 5dpo here I think, no idea if I actually ovulated or not but no chance of temping here when I never ever get a full nights sleep. Guessing there is no other way to be sure? This 2ww is seeming very long!

knittedmittens · 24/10/2014 08:35

Thanks Broody. It was on the TTC after mc board unfortunately Sad Found it an extremely supportive place to be in those rubbish early days. Thought I would hop on a bus now that we are back on it Smile Fx for you too Grin

broodylicious · 24/10/2014 08:09

Congrats luss!! So pleased we have a bfp Smile Let's hope Pregvember is now a bit more successful than Pregtober!!

Welcome knittedmittens Smile your name is familiar to me so we must have crossed somewhere on the boards before now. Fx for a bfp soon Thanks

Mumwannabe82 · 24/10/2014 07:29

Morning ladies xx sorry AF came along spinning. I know when AF came for me, I at least knew what was going on and focus on another cycle, every cloud has a silver lining Wink

Dozygirl · 24/10/2014 07:22

kniited been there done that. This month I took it one further and cried during sex because my mind went into overdrive thinking of the mammoth task ahead of us of lots of dtd and my DP takes a long time so I got overwhelmed and cried. Ttc sends u seriously cray-cray!!

Boosk · 24/10/2014 07:21

Morning ladies, got room for a little one at the back? Af looks like she's on the way although not full flow yet, bitch!

At least I can get my bbt on order and start using ff for a better idea of my cycle. Smile

xBlueberry88x · 24/10/2014 07:13

x post morning lucie

sorry AF arrived fully spinning at least you know where you stand though

I've has some light cramping on and off since yesterday hmm

xBlueberry88x · 24/10/2014 07:11

i know the feeling knitted mine were extreme this month and lasted a whole day still dtd though lol

mrsginger I took epo this month and had ewcm for 3/4 days over ovulation usually only have one day before ovulation (it could also have been the clomid im not sure)

orange I use ovia and every month my fertile week moves when I put my positive opk in its annoying

spinningirl10 · 24/10/2014 07:10

Morning Grin

MrsG fx the bad nights sleep and the ewcm is a symptom Grin

Knitted, well done on the early dtd!

Af has arrived full flow this morning.

lucieloos · 24/10/2014 07:06

Just popping into say hi, not many of us left on the pregtober bus now. It's been a really bad month for bfps so hopefully that means a bumper pregvember! Grin
