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

Almost time for the off (and maybe a new thread!) - looking forward to this cycle and feeling strangely positive! Come on you little eggies and swimmers Grin

On the experimental front this month I have conceive plus and I'm having a bash with the clear blue fertility monitor, oh and I'm planning on jumping the DH loads!!

Come on ladies, let's keep positive and knock this month out of the water with uber amounts of BFPs!

flowerbombVR · 30/10/2014 22:12

Sunbathing, how many weeks are you now, have you had m/w appt yet?

Would you say you settled a bit more when you oast a certain amount of weeks?

Xx

flowerbombVR · 30/10/2014 22:09

Thanks Sunbathing
I'll be 6 weeks on Wednesday so not long to wait. I'm hoping once I have the midwife appt we can start enjoying the pregnancy. It is very different to last time. My youngest is nearly 9 so it's been a long time. Dh & I were Over the moon as you can imagine and I want to feel that way again. It's almost like it's unreal. We bought more tests just to keep checking!

I was thinking of a scan around 8 weeks for re-assurance, there's a place doing it nearby me for £40.
Even writing it sounds bloody terrifying. I think I will have to as it may allow me relax.
Jeez, I didn't realise just how much the mc has affected me, I know I will be fine when I get by the times I've set. Fx Smile

Thanks Purple hoping Novemeber is good to us all

Thepurplegiraffe · 30/10/2014 21:56

Sorry Angel, I was wondering how you were getting on. Hope November is your month!

angelaham · 30/10/2014 21:52

hoping i am not to late to join the November bus, AF came to visit this afternoon, i knew she was on her way this morning, had a wobble yesterday for no reason , which happened the month before too so that is a clear sign she is about to arrive, going to keep taking my seven seas conception tablets and use the clearblue ovulation kit and take it from there, had a heart to heart with hubby last night, he told me i need to stop putting so much pressure on myself and just try and relax about it, which is sensible but just want a baby so badly,

my stats
Angelaham, 34 ttc 1, cycle 5 BFP due around 27th November

Sunbathing, I haven't told the doctor Or registered with midwife yet.
I'm waiting until after 6 week point at least. I'm too scared tbh and I still have the appts marked on my calendar from last time! Getting them cancelled was horrible so I'm not making any until I need to!

I do feel 'different' this time but I can't wait to get by 6 weeks. It's doing both our heads in x

I know spinning only 2 days. I just hope everything is where it should be and they find a heartbeat. Which they should be able to do at 8 weeks. Confused

Boobear1983 · 30/10/2014 20:28

Hi guys....jumping on this one late. First month of trying for me!due AF around nov 5th

spinningirl10 · 30/10/2014 20:10

Soap, yay for positive opk, high fiveGrin

MrsE, yes hopefully you're right and it will be third time lucky for me this time. Nearly scan time for you! Looking forward to a little picture of the baby(ies) Grin

English, don't forget we want stats please and how did you tell Mr.English? You know how nosey we all areGrin

lucieloos · 30/10/2014 20:00

Thanks sunbathing that's great, are both boxes the same or is the one with Chinese writing something different? Do you continue right the way through cycle from cd6?

flowerbombVR · 30/10/2014 19:58

Glad to hear it Sunbathing, much the same here. X

TheProofIsInThePudding · 30/10/2014 19:49

Thanks Sunbathing, genni and spinning I'll leave the OPKs alone now then!

I'm a lot bit concerned that we didn't DTD on Tuesday. We had to rush out, so I didn't wait the full time for the stick to develop. It was neg when I left, but when I got back a few hours later there were definitely two lines and the second one only a bit lighter than the control. Then DH and I (stupidly) fell out and didn't DTD even though it was an EOD day (which made me even more cross because he didn't seem to think it was a big deal! Gah!)

Yesterday I got a definite positive I think because the two lines were the same colour and we did DTD (and will again tonight and tomorrow). Hopefully I'll be ovulating today and we'll catch the damn egg.

Welcome to the 14th Nov club Soap! I will try to hold off until then!

Spinning it was my second cycle. But I think sometimes it's getting the perfect balance for the individual. I had longer cycles so it made sense to start earlier. First month cd3, second cd2. But you having shortish cycles I think makes more sense for you to start day 5. I'm sure that will be a better balance for you. Third time lucky Wink

SoapSudBub · 30/10/2014 19:30

Can I join the 14th POAS party? I've just ov'd 5 days early on CD14 brought forward from cd19!!!

Woooooo the soy and epo have worked, I'm having a normal cycle wooooo!!
runs around the bus high fiving everyone

tootssw17 · 30/10/2014 19:27

hmm thanks for the info on where ov pain is.. had i waited a few hours then i would have worked it out.. literally stood up just now and right hand lower than my hip.. one hot JAB. ow. Went as fast as it came. Never had that on the pill ... and was on that eons.
About to skip to bath, make myself dtd ready!( despite doing it all week feel like making an effort just this once).

Fx to others DTD this eve Wink Good luck with acupuncture [genni]

spinningirl10 · 30/10/2014 19:02

Genni, this cycle I'm taking soy cd5-9. Last 2 cycles I've taken it cd3-7, so fx it works this timeGrin
Yes we're off to Tenerife, just me and Dp, plenty of sun and relaxationGrin

spinningirl10 · 30/10/2014 18:58

The proof, once you get a positive opk there's no need to keep testing, just dtdWink

spinningirl10 · 30/10/2014 18:57

Genni, I second what sunbathing said regarding the charts, I'm taking mine. Also if you don't feel you click with her then try another, it's your money and you must feel comfortable.

Sunbathing, you're Chinese herb story has cheered me up and helped me regain some positivity so thank you. I'm hoping acupuncture will help me as even the soy seems to be failing me, it seems most people get their bfp after their first cycle with it.
Enjoy your party tonight Grin

lucieloos · 30/10/2014 18:56

Sunbathing I was thinking about you and the herbs you took earlier today. My temps never seem that high either. Do you know what they were called or where you get them? I see a western acupuncturist and she is lovely but doesn't go into herbs or anything like that although when I saw her tonight she mentioned that it may be worth me trying angus castus to regulate my cycle a little more so I'm about to research that.

DH has also just left for his first acupuncture session!! Grin

flowerbombVR · 30/10/2014 18:40

Sunbathing how are you and bean doing?

Have you still no/little symptoms?
