The November Bus: Bonfires and BFP'S!

Hie ladies.can i be a bus buddie too.im currently on cd19 ,cycle 4 and going insane with ttc.congratulations to loki and coco and fingers crossed for more bfps this month!

I am using those too. They're 10miu so pretty accurate :)

Queen, how sensitive are the tests you are using? I wouldn't use anything but the cheapy Amazon/Ebay dipsticks. They are more sensitive than even the FRER's and a hell of a lot cheaper. I have a big stash ready :)

Shemozzle that has occurred to me too but don't want to get hopes up. Am testing regularly but bfn each time.

I often get cramping around ov. Could be good sign?

Queen, implantation bleeding that's taken a few days to travel down, hence being brown? Have you tested yet or waiting to see if AF shows up?

Hmm, so mild cramping still lingering and no AF. Never had cramps until after AF and even then rarely, which has got me thinking, can you have implantation cramps from as early as 3 days post ov?

Congratulations Loki and coco, that's brilliant news! Come on the November BFPs ;)

And hello to all the new bus buddies too!

Cd17 is early, could be o or implantation spotting?

V. Confused. Brown spotting has gone as quickly as it started to be replaced by creamy cm! Cramps and mood swings have gone too and my temp has gone back up. ah well, AF is due tomorrow so will keep eye out for her!

Welcome to the new people!

Thurlow can you ask some of the ones with kids anyway? You don't know until you ask. Hope you manage to get your night away!

Grace sorry about the PCOS, as others have said it's still doable. Plus it's always easier once you know what you're up against!

Havetobe TTC can drive even the sanest crazy! I'm no OPK expert but could it just mean that your body is still gearing up but just hasn't got there yet? I'll admit my first thought was pregnancy, if there's even the slightest chance then I'd do a test (I'm a fully paid up member of the POAS addiction club though!)

Queen fx AF stays away but if not then enjoy a drink (or 5!)

I'm in a grump too. I'm only CD17 but have been getting negative OPKs and feeling like AF was coming and now I'm spotting. Bugger.

thurlow I so know what you mean about a night out before pg. My weekend night if delayed from my birthday 2 weeks ago when I was ill. Really want to go for it as it could be the last chance for a night out with dh if all goes well...

Who am I kidding? Not going to catch on the first month! Took 19 months then 9 months in the past!

In a grump. 12dpo and it looks like AF is here. :( Temperature dropped this morning followed by yucky brown cm this evening. At least I can have a drink and not feel guilty!

Hmm, I have two spots (never get spots) and slightly stronger mild cramping today and it's too soon for implantation so I'm wondering if actually, my real (not hormone induced) cycle is starting :( and I thought I was on the 2WW.

Hi everyone

I have been watching this a while but not posted!

Coco, you should join the PCOS thread.
Grace hope you feel better soon!

Congrats to both of you with BFP's!!

I am on my first cycle (when we stopped using contraception though my fertile window was almost over) so trying not to expect anything.

Good luck to everyone xx

Sorry, grace not coco

Hello all

I was on buses over the summer and took a bit of a break (just from buses not from TTC!) have been watching this thread from a distance trying to decide whether to hop aboard or not... I'd like to join you all if theres a spare seat please?

coco I am having a scan tomorrow to see if I have PCOS so I share your anxieties. We were extremely lucky with DS and conceived him on the second month (the first month we managed to fall pregnant but unfortunately had an early MC), so it is definitely possible to get pregnant with PCOS and not need any extra help. Take heart! We've just been trying a while now for #2 and I've always suspected I might have PCOS, hence the referral. I had bloods too but not sure what they showed.

Currently I am CD 31 of a very irregular cycle (28-46 days!) but I had a few twinges about 5 days ago and have had sore boobs for a good few days now (normally only get 48 hours max before AF). I don't want to get my hopes up as AF could definitely still show for me. I am trying to squash the thought that it might be possible to see a gestational sac on my scan tomorrow as I'm sure it would be too early...

Off to catch up on thread properly now!

Congrats Loki that's great news!

I have been having a weird couple of days, not really sure what to make of it?
Tested for OV on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The second line was strong on Monday night but has remained a strong line on every test including the one I did this morning. Surely it should start to fade now if I have ovulated?
I had to wimp out on dtd last night as felt awful, I am really crampy and have terrible backache, feel sick sometimes and really tired. I know how this sounds but I can't be pregnant yet as it is too soon.
I have ordered some Frer's but didn't want to test until 19th, anyone else feel like this all the time? It might just be an early period as I have been on the pill. Ttc always drives me crazy

Thanks coco those are kind words x

Hi Grace, stay positive hun - a close fiend of mine was diagnosed with PCOS in her early 20s and had no idea it would affect her fertility until she started trying in her early 30s and everything she'd read was worrying her sick, but - she went on and fell on her second try and now has a beautiful little girl. Just try to stay relaxed (easier said than done I know!) xxx

Hi all, im slightly down today as I just went for a scan and found out im PCOS . Its not all bad news as she said my right ovary wasnt as bad as my left and that I had definatly ovualted from my left this month so I am sometimes ovualting.

AF due this weekend, and I dont have any obvious pregnancy symptoms but I did test this morning and I am really clutching at sraws here but if you squinted and held it just the right way there was a very very very faint line possibly. like I said probably just cluting at straws.

oh my god Loki congratulations!!!! xxx Yay!!!!

Jumping on board ladies! I had a bfp today at 10dpo, staying positive but trying not to get my hopes up too much - just can't help it every time I see that little line, can't bear to lose another one. Baby dust to all of you ladies!

No I have lots of lovely friends where I live but they all have young children too and so no one's in a position to be able to go out at short notice. And DP's fucking job means it is almost impossible to get a night out with him or plan in advance to go away and see someone without three months of planning.

Sorry, I'm feeling truly miserable this morning.

Congrats, Loki!

AF got me yesterday so I'll be testing again in early Dec. Bit disappointed as I know I timed everything perfectly but it just wasn't meant to be this month.

Hi thurlow can you make plans with someone else?

Congratulations Loki!!

My night away has just been cancelled I'm ridiculously down about this. I don't know whether it's hormones from coming on, hormones from possibly being pregnant (no sign of AF yet despite some spotting), or just general wobbles about everything. I am actually sitting at my desk at work trying not to burst into tears Isn't that embarrassing? I just wanted one nice night out before falling pregnant

Congrats Loki. If my AF doesn't show up by tomorrow, I am going to test on Saturday.
