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

Thanks Blue, Orange and Dozy. O cramps were so bad last night that I had to lie down, so no chance of DTD. However, they've gone this morning so we've managed it (TMI) after an early alarm call! I have a few OPKs so might POAS later this afternoon just to see what happens. Dozy hope the pressure wasn't too much, last month I actually burst into tears when DH said he was too tired

Toots I find the whole cm a bit of a minefield too!

Def a symptom MrsG

I had ewcm on 2dpo this time. Any ideas why that might be? Maybe from the epo? (Don't worry, stopped taking that at ov!)

4dpo today and a horrendous night's sleep last night. Probably because I feel asleep so early, but as I had this with my bfp too then it is more fun to say... symptom! ;)

toots watery is when it is clear and wet, school glue is when it is thick white/yellow in colour not clear creamy and sticky. And egg white self explanatory

I just have started my first opk- think am due for of next week- my apps disagree with when! Am turning into an obsessive cm watcher though 31 years ( ok since puberty) never even noticed the cycle of cm when I did mini pill breaks!
Watery? Hmmm maybe school glue like? Is that PVA or pritt-stick .... Glue gun perhaps??? Ovid needs to be clearer on glue like!!! Any suggestions ?

How are the nov 14 th cycle buddies getting on?

Congrats Luss! Fx for your sticky bean.

Started my OPK's yesterday and still negative as expected. My two cheap/freebie phone apps have me ovulating either next Wednesday or Friday, so will be interested to see if that fits with what the sticks do.... At least every cycle I'm getting more in tune with what's going on I suppose!

Hi knitted! I only seem to get ov pain on the left side. Never on the right!

Hey knitted welcome to the bus. I have yet to really experience ov pain. Sometimes I thinkmi have it but I could just be imagining it. Opks work for me as dp isn't overly bothered about dtd so I like to make sure that we're at least doing it at the right time. Only just started using them tho so we'll see if it helps me get a BFP. I wasn't able to DTD last month on the day of the first positive so now I'm feeling desperate that that's why it didn't work so now I'm pressured to do it tonight. I don't tell DP either that it's posiribr otherwise he'll feel too pressured.

congrats luss

magrat you normally ov within 36 hours of opk so I would dtd tomorrow aswell to cover all bases

welcome knitted opks helo narrow down the time frame I dont often tell dp when I get a positive.

i get ov pains the day after positive opk so probably the actual day i ov

sherbet sometimes your body gets ready to ov but doesnt make it so tries a few days later definitely dtd if you can

Congratulations lussluc!

Sorry AF arrived to those of you have come over from pregtober.

Cd17 here and I don't know what's going on! Having got (what I thought was) a positive opk on CD12-13 I have got a stonger positive today. So assuming I got it wrong we have dtd eod a bit early. Need to dtd again tonight & tomorrow really, but think I've worn DH out with the dtd on demand... & in also in a pretty grumpy mood which isn't helping matters

Hi all, new to the buses (unfortunately not so new to TTC!)

Congrats Luss!

Spinning - saw your posts on the October bus (managed to join and post once before I was rudely booted off by AF). Fingers crossed it's not AF

Good work on the OPK Dozy I might be a little bit afraid of OPKs, do you feel they are reassuring? I'm worried about putting pressure on myself and DH, we currently go for EOD.

Does anyone else get bad O pains? I almost always get it on both sides and I have 3yo twins, and a strong family history of twins so I'm assuming I release 2 eggs a time. That hasn't necessarily helped TTC though - took 10 cycles to get those two, and currently on cycle 7 TTC#3 (with a mc in August). Anyway, that was a bit of a waffle - my question is, do you think your O pains are usually before or after the actual ovulation? I don't temp or use OPKs so would be interested to know others' experience.

Finally got my pos opk yesterday eve but then this eve was negative...does that mean I probably oved today? Sorry - am a bit new to opks. DTD anyway just in case, and last Tues, and at weekend. Phew hopefully all bases covered!

Congrats to Luss - FX for a lovely sticky bean :)

Thanks bluesky :)
I hope so.

Congrats Luss :)

Congrats lussluc

Whohoo got my positive opk tonight at long last. Think I miscalculated when my AF actually started as I spotted from cd 28 to 30 then I don't think it was proper AF till another 1 or 2 days after that so that would put me at either cd 18 or 19 which makes more sense than it being cd20. Either way today is my positive opk so my bfp date will be more like 3rd - 4th November now. Now I just need to crack on with dtd tonight! I'm feeling excited but nervous in case dp isnt in the mood for it. There's so much pressure to make sure u do it at the right time. I'm not telling him tonight's the night but I'm sure he'll know coz im not very subtle haha. Wish me luck!

Lussluc, Congratulations, wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Thanks blueberry , that puts me in 7th cycle then

Lussluc many congrats!!!!!!

Spinning, really hope its not AF for you xxxx

Good luck lady's I wish u all sticky baby dust xxx

This afternoon I couldn't resisted after a misscarage 5 half weeks ago!! Got my bfp today going to the doctors tomorrow to be keeped an eye on xxx

Thank you wanttobeamummyin2015 x

Thanks Bluesky, I think af will arrive, she's just taking her time and messing with my head

Spinning I've only temped 3 times, I'm not very good at it as I don't always get up at the same time. I'd say normally that would mean that AF is on her way BUT I've done a little research and some women do get a big dip even as late as 13dpo and then get their BFP so I would definitely say you're still in with a chance. Fx for you!

Mum Cycle is from AF to AF rather than month.

Welcome Kili

Not long to go now girls and then this bus can get going shame im out very early on and will have to hang around again lol

Thankyou aprilray for the stats xx I can't believe many of us joined from the Oct bus, bad month for BFPs!!!! When everyone puts #cycle, is that how many months you have been trying or how many times you have had AF? Sorry for the stupid question lol

Spinning crossing everything

Kilicat, hello and welcome
Good luck to you.

Af isn't really here....it was just some brownish gunk! I've attached my chart for any of you temping ladies to have a peek at please. Any thoughts? I always go straight into af full flow with red blood so this is not the norm.

Can I join please?! It's great to see such a supportive network here. I am a total newbie to this - decided to ttc #1 about a week ago but I think I was ovulating - not using temping or OPKs but I do get a bit of pain mid cycle which I assume is when I am ovulating. It seems highly unlikely that I'll be getting a BFP in November but I suppose it's possible. We're planning in just DTD for a while and seeing what happens.
