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

So I'm thinking i might have ovulated in the last few days . Either that or I'm really about to have my withdrawal bleed and my body has given me a pain break. My tummy and back ache have eased right off and I'm feeling less bloated but almost gassy??. If I class my first day off pill as CD1 then I'm CD14 today. I've totally missed the window if that's the case. Last DTD was Saturday.

Urgh. So confused.

That looks positive to me purple!

Lulu anyone who can reference Disney in every day life has a friend in me!

There are way too may comments to reply personally. I imagine gorillas DTD in the same way we do. Would Pregnancare help with LP (if you're not taking it already), it made mine longer by a day. Yep, that's definitely positive. You may get stronger later but you definitely have a green light there. Go, go, go! Sorry to hear about the failed DTD. I think some men think too much about, and it can be daunting when you've been avoiding pregnancy. Maybe it would be better not to tell him abut all the technical bits involved with creating life. Sorry about all the BFNs. It's so cruel when you keep getting them and AF is playing games. I have veiny boobs before AF is due. I really don't think this is normal. I think my body might be built wrong.

DTG 😂

Lulu I haven't trusted an Ursula since The Little Mermaid. Just saying.

Flashing that sounds awesome, enjoy!

Dying at fornicating silverbacks and DTG!!

We are off to a child-free wedding tomorrow, 2 nights away. We've booked into the spa and a fancy restaurant today. I'm in the 2WW but I'm not going to say no to some cheeky Prosecco

Dtg!!! Am sitting in a M&S bra fitting room pmsl!

Am awaiting the return of Ursula with some bras. She is stern and smells of cigarettes.

As soon as DH's home tonight I'll DTG (Do The Gorilla)

I think there's a level of delirium on the thread today! Ha ha!

Looking good purple might get darker later, but can change quite quickly too. Get it on!

DS is 5, it'll be funny if he is right because when I fell pg with DS, the cat knew before me, he became my guard cat, very odd!

Looks like a positive to me purple -get making like a Gorilla!
That said aren't gorillas quite bad at reproducing? like pandas? Maybe get making like a feral cat.

I'll pick up some wax strips after work writer....

BFN for me too but no AF and i am on cd30 (average of 26day cycle for last 3months). Cramping has gone.
weird.
Clearly not preggo but i want AF to arrive so i can get started on the next cycle......
i might get 2 gos on the october bus if AF hurries up!

Yep purple I would count that as positive, but as you say it may be darker later today.

Ooh will add vit C to my list, thanks Lulu! It's such a pain in the arse isn't it? I looked back at my charts from when I was TTC DS (I got a BFP first cycle but charted for 3 months in the run up to get an idea of how things worked) and my LP was short then too. So it's not a new thing, and didn't stop me getting pregnant then. Trying to take comfort from that!

Aw how old is your DS mumrahh?

So I've looked at this morning's OPK again & think it might actually be positive. Any thoughts? I'll test again later & hopefully get it even darker...

Omg these comments lolz! They're making me smile today.

Was hoping to start this cycle's dtd last night but tummy pains kept that off the menu.

Know what you mean napping about a frustratingly short luteal phase. Mine last month was 7 days??! Wtf? Think I will be going to H&B too today to get B6 and Vit c.

Sk1pper what should a triphasic chart look like?

Sorry to hear all the BFNs, keep hoping ladies!

My DS said to me last night, completely out of the blue 'mummy, I don't want another baby, I've decided'...... we have poke to him about it over the last 9 months, to get him used to the idea (he's a proper mummy's boy), but we've not mentioned it for weeks!! I'm hoping it's a psychic moment hespecially having

That's reassuring writer -I suspected it was gonna be a bit awkward but was hoping for a happy ending at least! Fortunately my fertile window doesnt begin 'til Friday so he's got some time to have a word with himself before entering baby making territory.

As for bare backed -if it was a position I'd imagine it to be some kind of variation on the reverse cowgirl. Unfortunately next time we DtD I'm not gonna be able to take my mind off fornicating silverbacks. That'll get the juices flowing I'm sure :/

Thanks, I'll look it up. Just been googling on the train into work and I am going to take myself off to Holland and Barrett at lunchtime to buy strong vitamin B complex and soy isoflavones. I may also book some acupuncture. I hate the lack of control I have over TTC, so I need to at least feel like I'm doing something (besides the obvious ) to help it along.

Morning everyone. I'm in a good mood despite my DH having a huge nightmare about dying (not something I want to relive) and me having to spend a good 20 mins trying to calm him down in the middle of the night. I think the TTC chat is effecting him more than he lets on. he's a gentle soul.

BUT he was fine this morning, my back is a bit better and I have a more determined to be more relaxed. I'm baking tonight for Macmillan coffee morning tomorrow so that should be a lovely distraction leading into the weekend. Mini goals. Hope everyone has a positive day. X

The first thing I though of was silver backed gorillas, and then the film "Brokeback Mountain" came to mind and then I thought of people riding horses bare backed....

I thought of brokeback mountain too!

Just got a decent line on an OPK (not yet positive) so think I'll get a positive later today or tomorrow. Hopefully ovulate in a day or two

sk1pper only a month so maybe I will see a change with more time.

purple just one pill per day - can't remember the dosage probably not enough. I'm going to read up on everything properly now.

writer I'm pretty sure it's AF as its exactly what happened last cycle.
