The October Bus - hoping for lots of BFPs and Summer babies!!

Nice chart Skipper!

Mouse, just think, you have it all to look forward to. I had my first a month before I turned 34 and my second a few months before I turned 36. And I was the first of all my friends.

You're by no means old!

sk1pper that's totally twins when are you going to test?

Sorry writer, it's still early days though!

Also (and you've got to laugh at my optimism here) but I had ovulation pain from each side this month on two consequtive days. A chart dip post ovulation can be an implantation dip - check out my chart. But with no other cycle charts to compare it to, I am probably clutching at straws here.

Ooh sk1pper that sounds promising, fingers crossed!

BFN for me again this morning but there may be the faintest whisper of a line if I squint a bit and hold it at a funny angle (totally doesn't count!). Still no AF so if that holds out I'll try again tomorrow. Been feeling slightly nauseous the last day or two but that may be unrelated/in my head.

Oh sk1pper that sounds like an upsetting dream hope you're ok now

On the plus side, your temps sound fab. Have you any plans to test?

Managed to DTG last night but no temp rise this morning so hopefully ovulation happens today & I get a rise tomorrow. Hoping to get another bit of loving in later but will see how DH feels...

mother - all women's luteal phases remain the same length, so if you were 14 before you'd be 14 now. So I'd say that you have ovulated late this time. With doing some OPKs next time just to be sure?

elles - it means youre past your fertile window now so your body starts to make a different type of cm to kill any sperm left near the mouth of your uterus. I think creamy stuff is toxic and clear stuff is non toxic. What was like like leading up to ovulation?

My temp is even higher today and I don't feel periody at all now. No spotting anymore either. Even if AF is due, i am pretty happy with my temps, it means i don't have a luteal defect.

I had a dream that my sister did some tests on me and worked out why I couldn't conceive. The results were on a pink slip and when I got it, the results were terrible and I woke up. I took everything I had not to cry.

Writer, try to relax, the symptoms are the same aren't they?

Tonight I was tagged in a school pic on facebook. Seems the majority of my school friends took their 10 yr olds to open night. Well that was a stark reminder that I'm 33 in 2 months and haven't even started my family. Feeling very meh going to bed now.

sk1pper - thanks for the updates your good.

So I'm 4dpo and I'm having lots of creamy white discharge which is new to me. Is that good?

Mother can reflexology help fertility? That sounds much better than having needles put in me.

I think i am going to be out this month... day 30 today and getting period pains although still no AF. It must be a really long cycle. I remember from before that my cycles were variable in length but i always had a 14 day luteal phase. If i am still the same 6 years and 2 kids later (!) then i must have ovulated really late this cycle meaning we DTD (G!) at totally the wrong time!
I have told DH that we have to 'concentrate' this month!! i have stocked up on OPKs and EPO, got the number of a reflexologist and i am ready to go!!!

I just need AF to come so i can start again.....
Good luck to everyone else, i am looking forward to hearing the news xx

Thanks Sk1pper you are doing a great job with the stats!

Writer fx for BFP tomorrow.

I'm small chested but my boobs feel massive. I had to take my bra off when I got home yesterday as my breasts felt massive and really hot!

Ha I'm waiting til the weekend after this. So AF will be 10 days late. Then I'll test! I hate seeing bfn and I saw so many last month when I was convinced I was pg.

Good luck to everybody testing tomorrow and over the weekend, cant wait for some BFP pic-porn

Purple you could be right.

Sounds like a plan mrspositive It could also be that you ovulate the day after and have a 13 day luteal phase?

Purple I'm glad that made sense. I think I'll DTD Saturday afternoon then. Shall take DD to the park so that she'll nap and then we'll use that time wisely.

No probs everyone, I was doing it every day but it's getting so long I'm just going to do it a couple of times a week so it doesn't spam the thread.

mrspositive last cycle I got a positive OPK on CD12 & morning of CD13. I know due to charting that I ovulated CD13 so you can get a positive and ovulate the same day. I think the positive indicates ovulation in 12-36 hours so depending when you get it, it can be that day.

Forgot to say, thanks for the stats sk1pper

Mum like I said 2 days after pos ov test I had untouchable sore nipples with #1. I don't want to get your hopes up but my symptoms really did start that early.

sk1pper that really is some impressive data collection. There's so many of us.

FX for all those who are waiting for AF.

I had ov pains today but a negative test. I should get a positive ovulation test on Saturday. I realised then that my AF is always 14 days after my positive ovulation tests. I think that I get positive while I'm ovulating. Is this even possible? I thought it I had at least 24 hours before I actually ovulate. My cycle is different from #1 so I'm thinking should I DTD the day before I get a possitive ovulation test? Does this make sense to anyone?

I'm not going to test until Sunday morning now, and that's only cos I want a drink that eve. I'm same as you writer really don't think this is the one.

Good luck to those testing tomorrow.

I forgot DH is playing football tonight so I need to wait until he's home from that to DTG... getting impatient!

Got my fingers crossed for you writer!

My bleeding seems to have stopped entirely this afternoon - hoping beyond hope it continues this way. I went back to my chart when I conceived DS and I got my BFP 11dpo which would be this Saturday/Sunday. Still going to test tomorrow if no AF just in case. Zero willpower.

My boobs are still painful and went to London today on the train and I did not travel well, I sometimes get travel sick and felt nauseous the whole way there and back! I was feeling hot a lot today too, but ovia said it's too early for that to be a symptom! Going to try and hold out till Sunday, but might try Saturday, although I'll only be 9dpo.

I know I said it the other day, but I'm even more convinced I had a chemical pregnancy last month, but dismissed. I had some similar symptoms, what looked like spotting at day 10, but then ended on full on period 5 days later. My boobs didn't hurt last month though and they are definitely looking plumper!
