~*~*~*~*~* First of the Autumn Babies - Get on board the September Bus ~*~*~*~*~*

oh no so many have left the bus, Christmas is not a good time for conception. Good luck for the October/November buses ladies.

I managed not to test today, so I am going to try and not test until Monday (yeh right!).

kawaiiko could you try something like acupuncture for your migraines?

I'm getting the usual af twinges now so I'm pretty sure she is on her way... what a dismal month this has been, hardly any BFPs!! we need more!!!

Hopping of the bus, BFN yesterday and pre-period spotting today. Good luck to everyone

Starting to get achy boobs, so I suspect af will show in the next 4/5 days or so. I kinda find it hard to symptom spot as, from everyone I have spoken with, it seems the symptoms of pg before you miss a period are exactly the same as pmt symptoms... What a cruel trick! Have those of you who have been pg before found that? I am the eldest of 5 children, and my Mum has said that every time she was pg, she thought in the few days before af was due that af was on its way as usual, as those were the symptoms she had... the morning sickness didn't start until a week or so after she was late. And I also didn't realise until speaking with Mum (who was also a midwife!) that implantation bleeding is rare... and I thought everyone got it!

Have a good day all

x x x

Hi
Can I join I am not expecting af for another week. Iam hoping that we used a clear blue ovulation test and hopefully this might help. I am trying to avoid testing to early as have done that when I was ttc last time. This is my first cyle after coming off the pill in November.

Sorry to everyone who has AF - it seems like a mass exodus from the bus over the last 24hrs

I think AF is due for me today, but no sign yet. Am actually starting to wonder if this might be my month, but don't want to test as don't want to get my hopes dashed if it's a BFN. Might just not test at all and if a baby comes out of me in 9 months time then I'll assume that it was a BFP!

Hi all,
Think I might be leaving for the October bus soon - lots of cramping & very light spotting (wouldn't have seen it unless I was really looking for it). Will let you know tomorrow.

Kawaiiko know how you feel - I suffered with them for a few years & still get hints of them sometimes but nothing as bad as they used to be. So tiring and worrying. My neurologist never found anything wrong but I've got a feeling that it was actually an early symptom of PCOS (not that I think that is what you have).

Good luck everyone still on board

Oh girls sorry to see so many hopping off today...I have just got up after 3 hours in bed trying to get rid of YET ANOTHER f*ing migraine which has only retreated, still not gone.

I think this ttc lark is going to kill me I usually rely on a combo of strong otc and prescription medications to help with my migraines but in the 2ww I've been trying to go without. This is my 9th day of migraine in the last 30. Have managed to not take time off work yet (v strict sickness policy which I am scared to fall fould of). Currently under the care of physio and waiting for a neurology referral.

Sorry to gnash and wail! I'm going to post this as a separate thread too as I am getting desperate couldn't do 9 months of this!

points you are brilliant!

Taking myself off the bus, as pre-period spotting has arrived. Is there a November bus yet, my stupidly long cycle means that if I conceive this cycle, that's when I will be due.

I started spotting this afternoon and got cramps, think AF is here. Will see how it goes before I leave the bus. Hope everyone is ok.
Good luck to all ttc xxx

bunnygirl yes the cheapies were just a warm up!! For the next cycle, I am def not buying anymore of those damned tests.

In my defence I have to add that I originally thought that I had ovulated on Day 16 (according to Fertility Friend) hence I started testing around Day 22ish but they were negative but I was still using my CBFM test sticks as had not had a peak at that stage. Around Day 26ish I started to get peaks on by CBFM, as I had ovulated or so i thought, I got it into my head that I might be preggers as you can use an opk as a hpt (I spend way too much time on the net) so I was madly testing. In any event it turned out I only ovulated on day 27 so I am in fact only 11 dpo despite being on Day 38!! So I have had to go through 2 x 2ww this month and it is driving me insane.

I managed to not to test today so I am not testing until Friday as will be visiting friends this weekend (I think AF due on Sat) and won't have an opportunity to feed my habit. Though of course i could wait until Monday and after AF is due.

Points... 25 tests in 10 days? HOW!? He he!

Anyway - I am bored. Today's stats:

I'm off! Started this am which was actually a relief though I now have to get through 2 days of work with the worst pains

Dr on Friday to get dh results so may make some progress then

points what happened to waiting until Saturday to be POAS buddies?!! I assume the internet cheapies are just a pre-event warm up! I can't believe you've used 25 tests already - I don't think I could physically produce enough urine!!

I have one FR in the house so am definitely saving it for the weekend and not a moment before.

AF is due tomorrow, but have none of my usual signs. Instead, I feel like I've been punched in the chest - boobs aren't sore when I touch them but my whole chest is achey. I've got one really sore nipple as well....but this could be due to repeated poking to check if it's still sore

sorry to see you go lucy lev, hope October will be your month.

S123 you poor thing, why do we do this to ourselves? There is still hope for you, we just have to try and sit tight.

Yesterday I finished the last internet cheapie - which means I got through a pack of 25 this month and am only on 10dpo!!! Well at least this morning I could not test. I have one FRER left and 1 CBD! So am going to try and wait til at least Thurs if not Fri to do the FRER. Not going to do the the CBD until I am 99% it's going to say pregnant as the not pregnant is like kick to the ovaries.

am jumping off thanks for the ride, here's to the Oct bus

Af arrived yesterday with a vengance for half a day and then have had hardly anything since.. did a test this morning just to double check and was negative soo looks like it's not my month again

now know my periods are a little longer than i thought so will be checking My ovulation days more carefully this coming month

Congrats to Jollster, great news[

good luck to all

Hello everyone, sorry there isn't any exciting news here... .

Having a miserable kind of day here. I woke up in the night with a stabbing sharp pain on my left side just under my ribs. Did a test this morning which was negative. (I promised myself I'd wait, why, why, why did I do it to myself??? . I know that if the spotting I have had is implantation bleeding it will be days before I could get a bfp, why did I test? I am so annoyed with myself). I am currently feeling as sick as a person can without throwing up and have all mannner of unusual tummy pain. I am really achy just below my ribs and it is painful to touch each side. I also have a fearsome backache and just feel...well bloated. This isn't what pmt is usually like for me at all, perhaps as this will be my first period since mc it will be different. I have had another tiny amount of spotting again, but really tiny - it was like 'dirty' ewcm (sorry if tmi!). In between that I have had ewcm type cm.

I am feeling really low - I'm tired of feeling so unwell all the time. AF is due tomorrow so perhaps that will be the end of it and I can feel 'normal' again. I do feel terribly disappointed... SB

Feeling the cramps alot today, hope AF isn't on her way .
Been back to hospital today regarding the clomid, she assures me they're working and has perscribed me 3 more months n then its time to talk about IVF or whatever other options I've got. I really hope I get pregnant before then, I don't really fancy the IVF to be honest but if its my only option after clomid then thats what I'll have to do.
Good luck to all ttc xxx

Know the feeling

Time for a cuppa and some

Am bored now.

Wish I had news lol
Still have sore boobs!!
Had tiny (and by tiny I mean I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't looking really hard lol) bit of spotting yesterday, which was approx 8 dpo. It too late for normal between period bleeding but too early for AF sooooooo
Hopes?...Up?...Me?.......
