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.

Hi Raven. I'm so sorry you're out for this cycle. I hope I'll see you getting a BFP on the Sept bus next month.

Welcome Fel1x - always nice to have new travelling companions.

BTW everyone, when I worked out my dates I had a confession to make... According to the due date calculator I'm due in July.

So there you go. I'm an imposter!

ravenlocks · 24/11/2010 19:10

Actually might stick around for another run, as according to due date calculator if I conceive this cycle I will be due on 31 Aug. AF due 22 Dec.

100years · 24/11/2010 19:24

Sorry we have lost Spirita,

I was about to say the same to raven, but looks like we get to keep her a little while, sorry though that AF got you. I tend to Pee in a cup then dip the stick when I have tested, only because I don't want a wasted stick from a) AF arriving or b) missing the stick properly.

More symptoms!! Hey ho. Hoping they aren't for nothing. Still a few days before I can think about testing.

raven Sorry that bi@tch AF got you. I had that happen to me, i POAS, then AF came a few hours after.
Your baby will either be the very youngest in the school year, or the very oldest, but you won't know which! So good luck for that date :-)

100year this waiting is SO tedious, i hate not knowing what i'll be 'doing' next year. My friend keeps saying about booking a holiday next summer - but i have been putting her off for ages!

sillybillymummy · 24/11/2010 19:56

100year sorry, i got carried away writing.. and what i meant to say is - do you think you will test in a few days then? My feeling is that i'm 10dpo, but i could be totally wrong.

sillybillymummy · 24/11/2010 20:01

fel1x Forgot to say welcome!
I am also trying for #3 - and working on that same basic theory - but after 7 months of trying now i am starting to think i should be doing something else?! My theory obviously doesn't work!
Since we have been trying, every single one of my friends has announced they are pregnant/just had a baby. Even though i am so excited and happy for them .. coo-ing over their scan pictures etc is making me sooo broody now!

buttonmoon78 · 24/11/2010 20:16

I'd not worked that out raven! Glad to see you sticking around til next time. Hopefully Father Christmas will bring you what you want!

CMD83 · 24/11/2010 21:16

Sorry Raven hope you get your positive soon!
I am so nervous bout fri!! still really crampy, achy chest, indigestions, teary and slight sicky feelings??? hope it means something.

Hi to all the new passengers welcome to bus, I hope we will keep you entertained until you reach your destination.

When in July button could it be July/Aug!?

Teds77 · 24/11/2010 21:30

raven so sorry ((hugs)) from me and keep the back seat warm. My pant snog has the hint of AF about it so am feeling a little glum. But like you reckon I could have a 31 Aug little one if I'm a little luckier next time round.

And welcome to Felix

100years · 24/11/2010 21:38

sillybilly, I think I am due any time after Sunday, so in my head I'm thinking I may test on Monday, we shall see, I only have one test at home, so I'm kind of saving it.

OP posts:
buttonmoon78 · 24/11/2010 21:56

ROFL at Teds pant SNOG!

29th so in the normal course of events it would be August but I think it'll be July as they'll probably induce early me like last time.

Still, if no one minds I'm going to stick around here - I'm not up to starting again elsewhere!

DH has an ally jobwise - a bit of a finder who's got him jobs in the past. They say he shouldn't be out of work for long so I'm hoping for a jolly Christmas with some good news!

MrsP81 · 24/11/2010 22:08

A lot has happened since I last posted! Welcome to new passengers and sorry to see some of you leaving.

I am now on day 20 and still haven't ov'd, aaaaaaargh! Body seems to be gearing up to it although I thought that last week too. My stats will need updating but I'll wait until I've laid an egg. It's soooooooooo frustrating!

Teds77 · 24/11/2010 22:13

Oopsy! Am on Blackberry am not doing very well at this typing malarky! Stuck on a train that's going nowhere due to person under train - v sad. Fear it may be some hours before I'm home and can check properly on pant snoggage situation Grin

sillybillymummy · 24/11/2010 22:29

100years i have 2 cheapy asda ones - so maybe i should wait until monday!
If i'm not, then i am getting to the drs, because i have such cramps/aches for this week, every cycle, so there must be something up?

mslk · 24/11/2010 22:32

Evening ladies

Good luck Queenrollo

Sorry AF got you Spirita and Ravenlocks. But, Raven, glad you?re around for another stint. This is my first bus and I think it?s very friendly. And have learnt so much.

Keep us posted Teds

Welcome Fel1x

Fingers crossed on the job front for DH Button

Thought symptoms were subsiding and AF was imminent but am now feeling weird again and have mild cramps. Not sure how early testing is possible but as AF can be a day or two either way am going to try and hold out for another week. Think I?d rather get AF the BFN.

ravenlocks · 25/11/2010 09:30

Hi everyone. Quick question, what is the drill with evening primrose oil? I bought some (with my tampax - Angry) this morning. 300mg capsules. Do you take one a day from CD1 to Ov?

Teds77 · 25/11/2010 10:23

Not sure about the evening primrose oil ravenlocks but am joining you on the back seat this morning with my super plus (tmi..) and grapefruit juice Angry

I've updated my stats. Good luck to those at the front...

Ah, sorry Tedds, it is the biggest bummer isn't it? (Actually bummer isn't the word in my head, but trying to keep it clean/ inoffensive!) Good to have your company right at the back.

GetDownYouWillFall · 25/11/2010 12:32

Ah Teds sorry to hear that Sad.

I am on DPO 7. Got implantation times last time at 7DPO, but no twinges at all Sad Also boobs not sore Angry which has always been a sure sign for me, but hey, I guess it's still early days....

The only weird thing I do have is a strange taste in my mouth. But I suspect that's rather more due to my streaming cold Angry

Next up it's CMD and WhyWait - good luck ladies!

MSLK do you know yet what day AF is due, or is it still the range?

queenrollo · 25/11/2010 13:03

I am most definitely feeling the primal urge to procreate this week Blush Grin DH thinks Christmas has come early!

Sorry to those who AF got, good luck to those on the 2WW. I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me, which i'm thankful for as hopefully it will distract me from phantom symptom spotting.

Oh who am I trying to kid, there's always time for that isn't there!

queenrollo · 25/11/2010 13:04

lol i just realised i posted DH instead of DP.....and he's not actually my DH until the end of Feb Grin

mslk · 25/11/2010 15:05

Sorry AF got you Teds

Go for it Queenrollo

Still feeling proper weird here. I would say AF is more likely to be Mon/Tues rather than at the weekend but it always varies with me. Hope what ever it is I'm feeling doesn't last long - I don't like it!

GetDownYouWillFall · 25/11/2010 15:09

Grin queenrollo - well he is nearly your DH! Are you going to change your surname? Took me ages to get used to my new name!

What kind of weird mslk - do you mean ill? Or symptoms?

I'm with you re, rather getting AF than testing and getting a BFN. BFNs are so disappointing. I think I'm going to test on 1st december if AF hasn't shown up by then.

fel1x · 25/11/2010 19:05

Sorrry AF got you Teds

I ahve put my last 2 AF dates into fertility friend website (thanks for the website tip!) and it says I should be ov'ing today! Not sure how accurate it is as I dont ahve any signs or feel any different at all but hopefully its all happening! DH was away yesterday but the 2 days before that I managed to grab him and will again tonight to improve our chances!

I really really want to get lucky this month. I'd love to be able to tell our parents over xmas and I really want an August baby (will save on a year of extra childcare fees Blush is that a really terrible admission??!) plus will be less of an age gap between DS2 and DC3 the sooner it happens!

Dh getting excited too I think. He's been talking baby names already without me even mentioning it Smile
