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

Hi guys, just starting the October bus.

I'm almost 33, have a DS (2.5 years) and am now trying for DC2. I caught pregnant on cycle 1 but unfortunately had an early miscarriage and am now entering cycle 5.

My current situation is that DH has been changing his mind over the last 12 months to wanting to try for another, then not wanting to, then wanting to etc and it's been very difficult. We have now come to the compromise that we can actually try up until next August but if nothing has happened by then we stop TTC.

I'm on CD3 now, I usually ovulate around days 17/18 and have cycles of around 31/32 days.

Good luck to everyone!!! Flowers

Good luck with everythung sk1pper and thank you for what you've done on this group....Flowers
Congrats on the bfps guys!

I'm on cd32 ttc#3 cycle 3 had bfns last week so just waiting for Af so I can get cracking on cycle 4.......

Welcome LittleEm Smile Could be implantation bleeding?

Sorry to hear your taking a break from this board sk1pper but I understand your reasons. Hope all goes well with the tests

LittleEm1989 · 01/10/2016 13:57

Hello ladies, I also have been lurking on this thread. Hope you don't mind me joining in?

My stats are:
Age 27
DH: 29
TTC #1
Cycle 2
Cycle length: a very regular 28 days
AF due 4th Oct

I don't know whether I'm out for this month, I've had very sore boobs all up the sides, cramping and most unusually for me, waves of very intense nausea. I never ever feel sick so that's odd.

Last night I noticed a very faint pinkish tinge in my CM when I went to the loo. Now it's a bit darker but still pale pink. Can't help worrying it's AF showing her face but she's 4 days early and I'm always very regular.

Just can't face the disappointment of a BFN and it's only cycle 2!

Congrats to those with their BFPs! :)

Xx

Congratulations Napping! My fmu test this morning was no darker than the ones from last night. I should really hold off for a few days but realistically that's unlikely to happen. Just really praying it stays put. I had a bit of a temp drop this morning as well.

Skipper I'm sorry you are out. I do understand the feeling of needing to hide a bit though. Go eat chocolate & drink wine! Ironically I am one of those Sod's law people. Started fertility tests this month, in fact haven't had the results back yet! Had an ultrasound on Tuesday (internal) and they found a cyst on my ovary but I've had a few of those in the past. They didn't see the little bean though...Hmm. I hope just way way to early.

purplebella · 01/10/2016 12:35

I've just realised I've missed a whole 3pages!!

Good luck sk1pper, hope it all goes well

Congratulations to napping

purplebella · 01/10/2016 12:19

Congratulations tiggi, now you've got to buy a gorilla!

FlashingLights · 01/10/2016 11:20

Congrats napping and tiggi !! Brilliant news.

Sorry to see you go sk1pper but can understand your reasoning and really hope you will get some answers and your BFP soon!

We are on our way home, had a lovely little break but I am feeling horrendous. I've had this cough/cold that I just can't shake for the past fortnight - I'm starting to wonder if maybe I have a chest infection an need some antibiotics. I also went swimming yesterday and my ears have been agony since. So I'll POAS today/tomorrow so I can get antibiotics without worrying about their effects if it is my month. I've also been really nauseous this weekend (so much so that I barely sniffed my prosecco!). 9dpo so maybe a little soon today.

MundayCakes85 · 01/10/2016 10:44

Congratulations napping That's great news.
Sorry to hear you're leaving sk1pper but totally understand your reasoning. Please let us know how things get on for you, I hope you get your BFP soon. Then you'll be inundated with stuffed monkeys Smile

Sorry to hear you're leaving us sk1pper thanks for all your help others the stats and good luck to you in the coming months Flowers

SoozC · 01/10/2016 09:22

We'll miss you, sk1pper. Sad Good luck with the tests (starting my first tests in 2weeks' time too so know how you feel). Massive hugs.

Flappergirl86 · 01/10/2016 09:17

aww Skipper :( I hope you find your answers and or that Sods law kicks in before your appointment and you get your Bfp xxx

Flappergirl86 · 01/10/2016 09:15

Congratulations napping!!!! FlowersStar

OH got back early this morning and woke me up with a DtG. Same thing happened. Getting worried now!

sk1pper · 01/10/2016 08:55

writer - I'm starting fertility tests in 2 weeks, and although I love talking to everyone on here I feel like I need a different kind of support now. It's tough seeing people come and go and not graduating. I'll keep an eye out for some more BFPs though ;) and I expect you all to get it before Christmas! Youre a lovely bunch of ladies xx

Tinkerbell2319 · 01/10/2016 08:55

Congrats napping and sorry to hear sk1pper hope you're ok

(24, TTC #1, cycle 1, CD 19)

NappingRabbit · 01/10/2016 08:54

Thanks everyone! I'm only 10/11dpo (FF and Ovia say 10 but I felt ov pain same day as my positive OPK so possibly 11). I'm not counting my chickens as it's still VERY early days and I'm still spotting on and off. Not entirely convinced it will all continue fine but will remain hopeful.

Sorry it was a BFN today writer - it doesn't sound like you're definitely out yet though. Will keep my fingers tightly crossed for you.

purple I reckon Thursday was plenty close enough so you should be in with a good chance this month.

Mumrahh that all sounds v promising!

Mouse sorry to hear about your back - feel better soon!

Goldfish99 · 01/10/2016 08:46

Sorry Sk1pper hope it's a temporary break! Think the signature idea is a good one and probably easier than trying to maintain a list!

(34, TTC#1, CD2, Cycle 4)

Goldfish99 · 01/10/2016 08:27

Congrats Tiggi and Napping!

Sk1pper looks like we've synced again! Can you move me to the back of the bus please? Next AF due 24th and now onto cycle 4.

The witch arrived yesterday afternoon just a few hours after I got DP to order some pg tests from Amazon because I felt nauseous! Oh well at least she had the decency to spare me the disappointment of seeing a BFN!

Good luck for anyone due to test soon!

Lulu298 · 01/10/2016 08:25

Hey sk1pper hope you're taking a temporary break from the thread. Will miss you xx

sk1pper - why are you slinking away? Sad

Congratulations napping and tiggi!

sk1pper · 01/10/2016 08:22

Probably a good idea Writer, I am going to slink away from the buses now so wont be updating the list anymore. I can do it one last time and someone can take it over or you girls can sort signatures out?

I really hope those still waiting for AF get some surprise BFPs, it's been a great bus already Grin

MouseLove · 01/10/2016 08:11

Sk1pper, napping, sooz - thank you. X

And napping... CONGRATULATIONS.

WOW I think your the first actual October bus BFP in October!!! (Can't believe it's October btw)

I've woken up with a horrifically bad back. I'm pretty sure AF will show up this weekend (didn't I say that last weekend) Sad

Alibaba2 · 01/10/2016 08:01

I dreamt that DD1 had a party entertainer who put on a gorilla hand and scared the hell out of her!!

(I'm in the progesterone-crazy-dream part of my cycle)

SoozC · 01/10/2016 07:58

Congrats, Napping!

Sorry to sk1pper, writer and mouse. Big hugs.

Purple - I'm sure dtg on Thursday was enough. Fx for you! I'm hoping I ovulate today. Two days of positive opks bit no temp rise this morning.
