Let's get Pregvember off with a bang! November BFP bus (thread 2)

Beautician luteal phase = time between ovulation and AF.

How long is your cycle usually April. I would say for most people cd31 isn't too early to test

Ohlordy Thank you. I'm feeling very crampy today but it's probably just his bug I'm picking up.

I have quite a long cycle. Usually 31 days. My pregnancy tests often take about 4 days after my AF is due to show up. I've never used opks before and I got my peak smiley on cd20. I had never realised I ovulated so late in my cycle. Id always put it at about cd15 at a guess.

Congratulations Sherbet. The BFPs are stacking up nicely now

Every time I get up in the morning I keep reminding myself to take my Frolic acid , it will never be folic acid again for me.

Can I ask what the luteal phase is?

Thanks mama.
Hope your little one is better soon beautician.
Good luck with the tests number.
Happy weekend dtd lucie and genie.

Morning all!

Congratulations to sherbett

blue and mrse so nice re secret Santa

Lots of teachers or ex-teachers in here! It always sounds such a stressful job, don't know how you do it! Plenty of to get you through the day!

spinning keep going! perhaps you'll get a positive opk today. It must be so frustrating though. Maybe soy has delayed things? Is your acupuncture appointment coming up?

treacle yay for fixed smiley!

I got a close to positive on an ic opk yesterday and a fixed smiley this morning thank goodness. I hate those cb things, but had two left so thought I'd use them. got a blank yesterday but a fixed today. Glad we DtD last night and hoping we can muster the motivation to keep DtD until FF confirms it.

number good luck at the doctors. Its not over till af comes fx she doesn't.

Good look to all the positive opk's and to any1 poas today

Positive opk!!! Cd11 so looks like my cycle is hopefully back on track and will ov 12/13. Fingers crossed my luteal will also be back to normal. Will dtd tonight, tomorrow and maybe Sunday too!

Just on my way to the Docs for my progesterone and prolactin blood results. BFN this morning (cd28) with eBay cheaply green tests ??

Mamapo I was the same. With dd I tested a week late and this time 2 days early with a frer! I have to say though, I almost wish I didn't, time is seriously dragging with the constant fear it is going to go wrong again.

Cariad & Bovny I might join your poas party on Tuesday the 18th. I'm due AF on 17th. Good luck to all those poas soon.

My youngest has had me up all night being sick. Then still sick this morning. I've had to scrub the carpet, do two loads of washing and dettol door handles, toys etc and all before 6am. Exhausted

Hey purple, 9dpo here but my LP is quite short so AF is usually here around 11dpo. I have no idea when a BFP would show up on a test - last time I didn't test until AF was a week late! (You can tell we'd been TTC for a month so I wasn't remotely stressed about it. This time there's no way I'd wait a whole week!)

Great news on the +opk lordy. Now to the TWW!

Mademoiselle You're not a French teacher are you, given your name?! (I was!) I've given away so much now that it would be easy for anyone who knows me IRL to recognise me on here! Anyway I'm holding out to POAS until next Friday (unless AF gets to me first like she did last month) so count me in on that party. I'll bring the Pringles!

Congratulations sherbet
Well done on the smiley treacle well timed for the weekend.
+ve opk for me last night on cd17 - really relieved. The cp has added roughly 5 days to my cycle. I really sympathise with those of you with long/irregular cycles.
The knock on effect is I won't be due my bfp until around 22nd now.
Good luck to anyone poas over the weekend x

Ha treacle , I missed that last post - hurrah for the fixed smiley!!

Hello all and sorry for going awol again, very busy work week here and a tough week emotionally for me. It's now my day off and I definitely feel lighter about it all! I too am a teacher and treacle I really empathise with how you're feeling. It's a tough job at the best of times but when you're grieving and stressed by personal circumstances too, it's really very hard.. There is no hiding, is there? I hope you can relax at the weekend my lovely. Don't panic about the lack of smileys, I didn't get my +ve until cd22 this cycle and temps have totally been all over the place, but I did ov in the end. Try to think positive ov thoughts and mentally coax the egg x
I'm now and hoping not to cave until next weekend. I'm not on the stats list but have quite a few cycle buddies, I think? Totally symptom spotting here too - loads of dull cramps, too early for AF, had a slight temp drop yesterday: TOTALLY implantation, right?? Who's in for POAS party Friday?

Cariad I'll join you POASing on the 18th- I think I'm 1 dpo today :) Must keep busy and not think about it!!

treacle whoop for the +ve OPK, a weekend getting down to it then!

50% BFP rate so far ladies, let's keep that up!

There's still time spinning. Just keep your nerve a while longer

I work part time organising projects for a local not-for-profit community music organisation. I'm also training to become a proofreader. The plan is to get pregnant, give up work to look after kiddies but bring in some money with freelance proofreading. I do really enjoy my current job, but I want to be a SAHM at least when they are little. (Just my personal ideal - not judging anyone else!) Treacle hopefully you'll get upduffed asap and can slip out through mat leave!

Thanks missmrs, i do remember.
I need to think seriously about this.
I agree with not being designed for it. I love it but gosh does it stress me out.

Fixed smiley today! And my temp rose - to its highest point but that doesn't show a difference yet as my temps have been all over.

Morning

Mamapo, sore nipples sounds good

Ooh lots of you poas soon, fx for lots of bfp's.

Still in limbo land here, temp dropped a little this morning, no idea if I've ov'd or not but I definitely haven't had a +opk. Cd 15, I've never ov'd this late.

Had that too Mamapo, looking good for you. What dpo are you?

I really am trying not to read too much into it (honest) but a couple of times today my nipples have felt sensitive and tingly. It was one of the first pregnancy signs last time...

Someone distract me from thinking about it!
