OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

how do I take myself off the list. I had posted that I had AF but I think I forgot to update the list good luck to everyone.

Mmmcoffee · 28/01/2010 13:20

Thanks all. Running out to Asda.

jennimoo · 28/01/2010 13:18

Mmmcoffee- Savers shops often have the pregnancy test strips, and occassionally OPKs. Very cheap, nearly as cheap as online I think.

craftykamo · 28/01/2010 13:15

Oh and regarding cheap tests, I had a "moment" a few months back and bought some from the Asda pharmacy - think it was less than £2 for three "dipping" strips. Just went to the counter and asked as I couldn't see any on the shelves.

craftykamo · 28/01/2010 13:10

Hi all, does anyone mind if I have a mini panic? (DH is refusing to listen to it anymore as he thinks I'm going mental - me buying cough medicine was the last straw!)

How long does it usually take for things to return to normal after stopping the pill? I'm on CD 15 and still have no signs of ovulation, CM isn't budging from "sticky" and my BBT is plodding along. I'm starting to worry, probably without cause, but my older sister's been told she's having an early menopause at 35 and at 32 I've just read that I've hardly any eggs left! Should I see my GP? Or will I be told to come back in 6 months?

Sorry, I know I'm being daft and I should wait to see what happens, but I just don't feel like there's much time left.

Loujalou · 28/01/2010 12:37

I got mine from ebay. Fertility plan or something like that. They look like proper tests and are very cheap...

lucielooo · 28/01/2010 12:34

Someone suggested this site yesterday...
www.babymad.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=20 &Itemid=26&vmcchk=1&Itemid=26

Unless you need them now and can't wait for internet delivery. (and yes I keep testing until AF arrives)

Mmmcoffee · 28/01/2010 12:23

Does anyone know a good reliable CHEAP PG test strip that can be bought in packs of 2 or more? Wilkinsons used to do a 2-pack for 2.99 or so but it's vanished.

...am I the only one who has to obsessively test at least twice before I'll believe the results?

lucielooo · 28/01/2010 12:21

Tested this morning with a First Response and BFN Still it's not over till it's over and all that so I'm just going to cling onto the bumper of the October bus for now...

SilverBoots · 28/01/2010 12:02

Hello!

CONGRATULATIONS jennimoo !!

to those with BFNs or AFs.

I'm just hanging around, waiting for AF...

The plan was to test today with a clearblue digital but as I tested a couple of days ago with a cheapy & got a BFN there doesn't seem much point in wasting it!

Fingers crossed for loads more graduates!

Mmmcoffee · 28/01/2010 10:16

BUnder no we don't have a family planning clinic, wish we did! There really should be more in the smaller towns.

heading4home · 28/01/2010 09:51

Loujalou - oh yes, lots of EWCM means have lots of sex! Excellent!

My dh has now proved he is as obsessed as me, he just emailed me a link to a pregnancy site and quoted what it says about implantation bleeding. Very sweet of him, but I suggested maybe he shouldn't email this to my work email account

Loujalou · 28/01/2010 09:42

Ok not sure who to tell as think DH would be a bit grossed out. But seem to be having lots of EWCM this month - which has to be a good thing right??

Sorry had my moment now. Will need to carry on shagging tonight as thought I ovulated yesterday but more EWCM means we are still in with a chance. Right?

Morning all!

I am tentatively staying ON the bus because what I thought was AF yesterday has remained as almost nothing, mostly brown, and I am really very

Daren't get my hopes up that it is implantation bleeding but of course I am!

BUnderTheBonnet · 27/01/2010 21:37

Mmmcoffee have you got a family planning clinic nearby? They can test you for free. They might object to you popping in on a daily basis from cd 25 onwards though

pointsmakeprizes · 27/01/2010 21:14

digitalgirl that happened to be last month too - had to do a double 2ww wait as ovulated much later than I thought. I feel your pain.

good luck for those joining the November buses and congrats to the bfps.

Starting to get ewcm so hope I will O soon and not have another long cycle.

bunnygirl80 · 27/01/2010 21:09

congrats to the BFPs.

frenchlimeblossom sounds like you dtd plenty - I think as long as it's every other day or so then it's counted as enough. And as we were all told in school - you only need to do it once to get pg!

Mmmcoffee · 27/01/2010 20:52

Gah! I'm on CD27 of a normally 26 day cycle, and I'm hardly ever late. Tested today and got a BFN, but I can't afford another test till payday and that's Monday! So if AF doesn't arrive I am going to be minus all my fingernails by the end of the weekend...

decafgirl · 27/01/2010 20:35

I use 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' kawaiiko and I think it's fab too. I got pregnant after a year of trying the first cycle I charted. Have got fingers and toes crossed for the end of my 2ww on Friday. If my temp doesn't drop then I'll test. If it does then I'll save myself a tenner!

Hope everyone's ok - can't believe you have to go through another 2ww digitalgirl xxx

lucybrad · 27/01/2010 19:44

im still here.- awaiting blood test on friday (day21 theorectically) and then to get some results. 99 percent certain i have not ov'd this month due to stress.

Fairygodmother1 · 27/01/2010 18:55

Hi all, please can I be removed from the bus next time someone updates? Period arrived today so no October baba for me

Off to console myself with a pate, blue cheese and vodka cocktail

Good luck everyone else!!

kawaiiko · 27/01/2010 18:39

Frenchlimeblossom I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain with the whole dh being all enthusiastic and then feeling "pressurised" during your fertile window!

Mine is terrible for that - the only thing that works is failing to mention where in my cycle I am and just focusing on shagging for fun. Can be tricky though as he's pretty clued up on my cycle by now!

Right, my copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility has arrived...off to read it before dh gets home! It's brilliant, btw, great photos of cervical changes/mucus, great example temp charts - anybody else using it?

BUnderTheBonnet · 27/01/2010 18:26

headingforhome that happened to me too! I couldn't believe it was AF for a couple of days.

Congrats everyone with BFPs!
