It's farewell from me too, see you on the August bus. Everybody off, we#'ve reached the terminus..... or not quite?

KLou111 · 04/11/2010 16:50

Well, not 100% sure what's going on 'down there' with me.

The bleeding is a bit heavier today. Was bright red this morning, now a darker brown.
I know this is TMI but it doesn't smell like a normal period, just blood. I know that sounds totally repulsive that I have done that, but you know what I mean!

Think am convinced it's AF, but think will test in a few days before I hop over to that August bus x

gettingonmyownnerves · 04/11/2010 18:03

Sorry to see that quite a few have left this bus - I really hope the August bus will be luckier for you.
Also sympathies to those with strange cycles - it's incredibly frustrating when you can't figure out what your body is doing.
Well, in the absence of my usual spotting from 8DPO and with ever increasing temperatures I took a chance and peed on an OPK this morning (CD27, didn't have any pregnancy tests) and it was positive.
I intended to be very good and wait until tomorrow to do a proper test but of course, took an early lunch and dashed to the pharmacy.
Got a BFP straight away!
After 9 months of ttc I can't quite believe it so am remaining cautiously excited!

Eskarina · 04/11/2010 18:06

What an exodus! Is there anyone left on here? Sorry you're all going ladies - I hope the August bus is more successful for you! I suspect when I have to hop off this bus I should go straight to September (not passing go or collecting £200 Grin given the length of this cycle.

Klou sorry to hear about your bleeding. It's so confusing isn't it. Last "month" I had spotting every day from CD 21 to CD 33 then heavier bleeding which I took to be a period, which was then a weird one, and then this ultra long cycle.

I had a long long chat with my best friend last night. She got herself all worried about me and made me promise to get a Dr's apt if neither AF nor BFP have shown up by friday. She tried to get me to go last month over weird bleeding and I wish I had now, as at least it would be documented in the system then. I wish she lived closer, but she's 200 miles away in my home town, and has 2 tiny children so we don't get to speak much. I've lived in several places since leaving home, but have been in this town for over 3 years now but still don't feel like I know anyone very well. It seems so hard to have anything but the most superficial conversation. Ah well.

KLou111 · 04/11/2010 18:11

A HUUUUUGE CONGRATULATIONS gettingonmyownnerves so Envy but very excited for you!!

Could do with a few more of those on this bus.

I'm going to do a test on Sunday regardless, need to put my mind at ease and then can just get on with trying for the next month.

Eskarina · 04/11/2010 18:13

X-posts gettingonmyownnerves CONGRATULATIONS!!

MrsP81 · 04/11/2010 21:01

Congratulations gettingonmyownnerves!!!!

I am off this bus too I'm afraid. I was quite hopeful this month what with the sore boobs and I also had a nice temperature rise a couple of days ago but it obviously wasn't to be. Sad

Good luck to everybody else left on the bus.

kat2504 · 04/11/2010 21:05

Wow am so pleased to see a bfp in the dying days of this bus before it goes back to the bus depot. Congratulations gettingonmyownnerves and wishing you everything good and a healthy and happy nine months ahead.

Fingers crossed for the remaining passengers

jigglebum · 04/11/2010 21:20

Congrats gettingonmynerves - really pleased for you. Sorry for everyone else leaving this bus in droves.

There must be a few of us still hanging around to test - I did an early cheapy test today whilst packing, silly as I knew it would be BFN as too early but now makes me think have missed this bus too. Will find out for sure next week but will have no internet for a week (due to move and the inefficiency of BT) so will post a bit later on.

Moving house tomorrow so knackered after packing all day. Have been feeling under the weather for a couple of weeks with a cold (again) and a strange swelling by my collar bone (lymph node??) Again not good for this TTC lark. Seems as if DS, DH and I have been ill since September - rubbish.

Brasso4 · 04/11/2010 22:15

Congratulations gettingonmynerves that is fab news!

I am still on the bus...no sign of AF, will be testing tomorrow morning but don't think that I am PG. If negative will assume AF will come along next week and will join the September bus. My cycle will be 42 days tomorrow Sad and 49 if my suspicions about ovulation are correct.

Good luck to all, I will post my test results in the morning.

LadyGoneGaga · 04/11/2010 23:07

Congratulations gettingonmyownnerves. Fab news!

Sorry about the mass AF attack.

I'm still in SWI phase, plenty of life in this bus yet I tell you. Think ovulation is today according to OPK yesterday. Just waiting for temp rise to confirm!

LadyGoneGaga · 04/11/2010 23:07

Good luck on test, Brass. Long cycles are soooo frustrating.

Fingers crossed for you Brasso. I'm joining you on CD42. Did a test yesterday pm. Don;t know why. It was BFN of course. Feel like AF about to arrive, but have felt like that for 2 weeks now.

Sorry for BFN jiggle hope the house move goes well, and that you all start feeling a bit healthier soon.

Glad to see the bus still has a bit of life left in it!

cyberjules · 05/11/2010 08:54

Hi All

I took a test a few days ago which was a very faint +ive waited again until today and got a +ive straight away! We're still trying not to get too excited as we had a chemical pregnancy about 18 months ago... not sure how common they are once uve had one!

Its only cycle 2 so feel really really lucky :-) I really hope it goes okay this time!

Going to see the doc later today just to try and get some positive advice!

Baby dust to every one! xx

LadyGoneGaga · 05/11/2010 08:59

Congratulations, cyberjules! Hope it's a sticky one.

jaggythistle · 05/11/2010 09:31

congratulations on the BFPs!

BFN for me again today... migght try to resist until Sunday.

Just feel a bit grumpy and tired, could just as well be AF on way.

Might be back on the August bus again soon...

Brasso4 · 05/11/2010 09:32

Congrats cyberjules!

Well Eskarina, perhaps we have some sort of weird psychic link - I am joining you on day 42. BFN this morning. I am not going to bother to test again until next weekend now, there is a slim chance that I might be (if my DH has super sperm that live for ages!) but I assume (hope) that AF will arrive in the next 8 days.

Will have to join September bus!

Bye xxx Good luck all xxx

mrsden · 05/11/2010 10:07

Congratulations Gettingonmyownnerves and Cyberjules. That's great news. Did you have any signs or symptoms before you POAS?

Well, I'm jumping off this bus now. AF arrived this morning. Good luck to everyone still in with a chance.

queenrollo · 05/11/2010 10:33

feeling very sorry for myself. Full of cold.

And two friends who started TTC at the same time i did are due to give birth any day now. Delighted for them of course but still Sad cos i'm feeling left behind,

KLou111 · 05/11/2010 13:53

Congratualations cyberjules.

I am saying ding ding stop the bus to you all and going to jump off at this stop onto the August bus.

I am totally convinced that this bleeding is my AF, which made my cycle 29 days. Better than the 35 predicted, so at least I don't have as long to wait to my next try :)

Good luck to you all, will keep checking in for news. May see some of you in a few days.

Big LOVE x

goldmaple · 05/11/2010 14:42

Congrats gettingonmyownnerves and cyberjules!! You two will be the start of many BFPs for this bus!!

Sorry to everyone that AF got!! Best luck on the August bus!

klou111 my cycles were different lengths before settling out after getting off the pill too. Temping really helped since my luteal phase never changed. Glad yours are shortening much sooner than mine!

DPO11 here. Did a test on DPO 10 and it was a BFN:( Oh well... have absolutely no symptoms (and usually have sore boobs by now) So will try not to test until tuesday!

fledtoscotland · 05/11/2010 16:28

Congratulations to everyone. Still have 2wks to go before i can poas. Trying to stay away from charts/iphone apps/opks this month and just focus ok dtd.

Am i the last on the bus? If i did get a BFP this month would be due 1st august but would have a csection tge week before

I'm off the bus - AF came today. I don't mind too much as it means my cycles are down from 35 days to 29 so another chance will come round quicker!

Good luck to all that are still to test! Smile

Eskarina · 05/11/2010 17:41

Hurrah cyberjules So pleased for you. It's great to be getting some BFP's from this bus.

Queenrollo I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you're off KLou111 and FluffySparkles Envy at 29 day cycles, or even 35 days. Better luck next month.

I've got a dr apt for next saturday - the earliest I could get. I hope I'll be discussing why this cycle was so long not why AF still hasn't rocked up yet.
