The Pregvember bus- With Frolic dog as our mascot and ov dance lessons we can all get our BFPs (Thread 3)

Morning all!

Well the cheeky witch is having a field day today, sorry to all the many of you who have got AF today. Let's hope the December buses gives us our BFP Xmas gifts.

Sorry you've got a lonely day ahead victoria hope it goes quickly.

I haven't tested since Monday (cd 43, 11dpo) when it was BFN. If AF doesn't make an appearance, I'll test on Saturday (16 dpo) but no symptoms, but prefer to see AF than another stark white second line!

I reckon if you have a 25% chance of getting pregnant in a cycle, and there is a 78% chance a FRER would be positive if pregnant on dpo 11, then that leaves me with a 5% statistical chance of being pregnant. Not good odds but not quite out!

blueberry how are the clomid symptoms this time?

Urgh, sorry to hear af has got all my cycle buddies :-(

I'm still waiting for proper af after my random 12hr bleed on Sunday! Cramps and backache and on crotch watch. Had a week of feeling all this crapness. Wish it would just arrive and go swiftly so I can feel well again!

Stuck in my little lone working lab again due to the rest of the trained technicians being sick/off again. Luckily there is a little staff loo just next door to keep popping into :-D

Sorry for all the afs arriving.
I'm on cd23 today and I tend to have cycles of anywhere between 23 and 29 days! I think based on ov I'm due on Friday cd25 but I'm officially paranoid AF is imminent.
Xx

Sorry af arrived kissing I'll have fingers crossed for all of you on the dec bus.
genni and cariad hoping af stays away

Sorry for the af arrivals, same for me this morning. oh well onwards and upwards ladies. We are a cycle closer to our bfps
Good luck to all still in with a chance. There must be a flurry of bfps to come...

Morning all. 14dpo at this end and I have a feeling that AF is imminent.

Thanks for the injection of positivity yesterday Blueberry - just the tonic I needed. Fx this is your cycle.

Genni - sorry about the temp dip. Enormous hugs

Big hugs to you too Victoria. Keeping everything crossed that the assisted route works for you. I so want us all to have 2015 babies.

Treacle and Lucie - I'm still keeping everything crossed for you. When are you planning to POAS?

Spinning - As Genni suggested, I would ditch all the paraphernalia and just focus on lots of dtd on holiday.

hippy first response are bogof in boots at the moment

gennibugs Thank you for your reply I haven't taken anything different this month to what I normally would, only Berocca but I take that regularly I haven't taken a First Response test, I did google to try to find out which was the most sensitive test and saw that one was recommended but I can't find anyone who stocks it! I really hope you don't see AF

spinning I think I'd be tempted to ditch stuff. If on holiday you're likely to be dtd plenty and it might take the pressure off?

hippy have you taken any vitamins or supplements that might have delayed AF? Have you tested on a first response early test? Fx no AF is a good sign for you!

Morning all. Happy hump day

miss and pikz sorry AF arrived.
treacle I hope AF isn't en route for you.

massive temp dip below the cover line and AF cramps so reckon I'll be out today/tomorrow. I'm not surprised as I've come to expect it.
Guess I'll be jumping on the December bus soon though not sure whether to try in December or leave it and just wait to begin with the clinic in January.

I hope no one else is faced with AF today. We need some bfps ! who is next to test??

Sorry af has arrived miss and pikz. Good luck for a Christmas bfp.
treacle fx af isn't on her way x

I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me? 5 days late today, no symptoms apart from feeling bloated and much more thirsty than usual, plus I can't sleep. I had a few spots of brown on my underwear yesterday (TMI) but no flow, it is not AF. I have been utterly regular on a 25 day cycle for the last 6 months and haven't been on the Pill since June. I read that implantation bleeding can only happen before AF is due so now I am confused. This is cycle #1 for us. I have tested last Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a combination of cheap tesco tests and Clear Blue and all have come back BFN. What is happening? Anyone else going through the same?

So sorry miss and pikz
Think I'll be joining you. 10dpo and bfn and temp drop. Af will arrive today.

Sorry pikz . Good luck on the December bus.

I'm out. Af this morning

Sorry af arrived Miss. Yours was quite late too wasn't it.

Interesting about cinnamon I've never heard that before and I love cinnamon.

Well af was due on Monday I've tested again this morning on a cb digital and bfn. I'm convinced as it's all I'm thinking about I've managed to delay af. According to ff my fertile window is 11 days away.

Oh interesting about parabens - I will be checking everything!

AF is here this evening so I am off to the Dec bus.

Hope you are all ok and hope I don't see you anytime soon (in the nicest possible way of course!) x

Enjoy your holiday spinning bit jealous!

Spinning - i would just take the sticks x

Im trying to be parabens free too, coffee and toots. As 60% of anything you put on your skin is absorbed into the blood stream, I figure it's good thing to avoid them if poss (so Liz Earle has been my beauty range of choice for years and I've just started selling Neals Yard Remedies). However, I do believe in balance so I'm not quite giving up some of my sls laden fave products

Thanks ladies, I'm undecided, after 17 cycles I feel like a week off would be nice. We also travel with hand luggage only and I'm worried if they go through my bag and my stash of opks, thermometer and soft cups are pulled out for all to see

I love cinnamon, I probably have it everyday, I add it to porridge and yoghurt and homemade granola. It also speeds up the metabolism apparently!

spinning I would leave it all at home and go and have fun! Take a cycle off from the thinking!

toots I've started avoiding parabens for me and DS. Especially in products we use daily. Saying that I never gave it a second thought when I last got pregnant. It's more of an overall lifestyle, organic products to go with organic food. Not exclusively of course, life is all about moderation. I'm taking it one step at a time scoffs pringles

Spinning I would take the opks and leave the temping so no alarms on holiday

Hi spinning I would take it all with me because I like to know what's going on!

toots didn't know about parabens? Are they in make up or something? So do they get absorbed?
