The August Bus

[100years]

Beep Beep

The August Bus departs tomorrow....

Come and join me if you are TTC an August baby [hgrin]

This is my first bus and I think I am being brave in starting the engine.

right.....i have EWCM......most definitely.....so i'll be SWI'ing this week

Oooo good luck queenrollo !

sillybilly I'm debating POAS early, trying to resist the urge as I know it's unreliable to test so early. The belly ache is back

Enjoy it queenrollo :)

I think I need to inform my OH that any DTD will be for us as opposed to try and get pg, so he doesn't think that I'm only after him for baby making, because I really don't want him to think that, and I don't want him only for that reason IYKWIM sorry if that's TMI

LOL 100years me too. Have made hubby happy 5 times in the last week :) Told him that the baby making stopped last Tuesday ha ha!

Plenty of symptom spotting here too. Very crampy today. Keep going through this page to find my symptom spotting link. Must save it.

I've got lots of cramps too Trying to remember if I got these post ov before TTC...

Am stuck at an airport and BORED! Well, should be home by 11pm, only a 17 hour work day then?!

Rant over.

Enjoy queenrollo! Sorry QOTCW, hope AF turns up or you get your BFP. Come back and see us sometimes.

Am thinking about waiting until day after AF is due to test. Can I wait that long I wonder?

If you can wait that long ravenlocks you're a better woman than I am!

DH said I looked pg today Said my belly was poking out. Charming!

LMAO button!!

My AFs are so regular that I have felt a bit daft the last 2 cycles testing day AF due. One I got BFN and then AF a couple of ours later. Last cycle I POAS and then when I wiped.... AF!

Hmmm what to do, what to do....

Meant 'hours' !

Sorry to see you go Spirita

Good luck with the September bus!

ravenlocks at least if you test you'll bring on af if it's -ve. Nothing worse than waiting!

Test then at least you'll have a definitive answer!

Go on, you know you want to!

Bye Spirita hope not to be joining you on the September bus (no offence :)

Are you testing today Teds??

Not long ravenlocks x

Hi all, quick update from me, did test this morning and was a bfn. ravenlocks your post made me as did very thorough wipe first to ensure I didn?t waste the test?

On the positive side no AF yet and the test says 99% accurate on day AF due but that?s based on 15 dpo and I?m only 13dpo? on the other hand I have absolutely no symptoms so am not getting hopes up.

ravenlocks I did wonder about the CP thing but for me there hasn?t been any symptoms in previous months so don?t think that?s likely for me.

QOTCW hope you?re doing okay and that the GP appointment goes good x

Spirita sorry you?re leaving us lots of luck on the next bus and do pop back!

Finally GetDown am bit worried that my anti-you-getting-progesterone-cream comment were a little thoughtless. Was just a little concerned about a vision of you smearing yourself in the stuff but maybe didn't put that very well. Have my fingers and toes crossed that the cramps are a good sign.

Sorry you got a BFN Teds77 but it;s not over till it's over!

No worries at all re the progesterone cream! Not thoughtless at all, I needed someone to talk good sense to me. I suppose I was just thinking that if perhaps post-MC my luteal phase could be shortened, that progesterone might extend it a bit and give a little bean more chance to stick?

But as others have said, it seems a little foolish to risk confusing my body with extra hormones! I need to be patient, and stop googlinG!

Thanks teds77

Fingers crossed for you too.

Lots of people seem to be moving on to the next bus - pleased to see the BFPs but seem to be a fair few BFNs as well. Fingers crossed for you ted - I had BFN for 2 weeks after AF was due with both my pg - very frustrating!

Thought I had missed my chance this month, as allegedly ov'ed last week (although given cycle variability may be out) and managed to miss the opportunity every night. Had a consolation SWI on Sunday and had the lovely pant snot thing on monday. So now think I may be in with a remote chance this month?

Am already fake symptom spotting. The nausea is back (must be fake and am careful when I take folic now since the last tie) and am very hungry, but then it is bloody cold today and always get the munchies when its cold.

So, that was a pointless debate with myself over when to test, as AF has just arrived. That means I must have ovulated on the last day of my business trip and not the day I arrived home as I had hoped/ spun my OPK results in my head to make me think.

Must go back to temping this cycle.

Really upset, can't bear the thought of yet another month before I have a baby.

Hi raven. Really sorry to hear that AF has arrived. Am not very good at expressing things but it is a real bugger. I always feel down and stupidly a bit of a failure when AF arrives.

I know logically that given my age, the odds on conceiving are 50-60% in a year, but that doesn't stop me from feeling low each month when it does.

So sorry to hear that ravenlocks Don't despair, I know it's frustrating but the chance will come round again sooner than you think.

Give yourself a nice treat today.xx And not forgetting to crack open the vino tonight!

Hello, Can I join please?
Have been reading the thread and wanted to say congrats to those who got BFPs already!
and sorrry to those who have had BFNs

I have 2 DCs already and am trying for DC3. this will be month 2 of trying. Am just waorking on very basic idea that I prob ov 2 weeks before AF each month and am just having lots of sex around then! By my workings out it should be sometime this week.

Fel1x TTC#3 cycle 2 UCL 26-28 AF due 12 Dec

Thanks guys. According to FF I will ovulate next prob on 8 Dec and guess what on 6th and 7th I am due to be away overnight from DH. Not on your nelly! I am busy re-arranging work diary and causing lots of confusion and perplexing my colleagues with my (to them) non-snesical plan changing.

Had a indulgent lunch of greasy cheese and ham toastie with lots of pickles and stuff, with crisps and a coke. Today is not a day for a salad and fruit.

Hi there Fel1x welcome

I've added you to the stats. Pull up a bean bag and I'll make you a cuppa.

Sounds very chilled out to just have lots of sex around your prob ov date. Hope we don't all lead you astray with our obsessive tendencies!
