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.

Thanks for all your congratulatory messages.

Sounds promising KLou, hope so.
Sorry to hear you are off the bus mrsden.

Good luck to everyone else too, will keep checking to see how you get on.

MrsP81 · 06/12/2010 21:12

Woohoo, congratulations littlemiss!

raven, my fertile CM stays around for a few days before oving so fingers crossed yours stays until you and DH are together again.

fel1x · 07/12/2010 16:02

sorry to hear that af got you mrsden.
I did another test this morning and BFN again, so am losing hope
Have got sore boobs and am feeling very cross - both very normal signs for me in the few days before my af turns up

jaggythistle · 07/12/2010 16:31

another test and another bfn for me too. no AF and temp still high today so a bit puzzling.

on CD29 as well and usually 28 at most.

really don't feel pregnant though and SWI did not go according to plan this time, so just waiting for AF to appear. will be keeping away from the tests now!

KLou111 · 07/12/2010 17:15

Well, tried to test this morning but had a duff test. Last one I had on me, but home now. Just tested and BFN (not had wee since 12 midday).
Am now on day 36, longest cycle was 35, and no AF here yet. Only slight pink spotting on Sunday night, and brown Monday, both when wiped only. Not sure WTH is going on!!

buttonmoon78 · 07/12/2010 17:18

Don't forget all those people who test -ve until a week after period due (or therefore implantation has happened). It could still happen KLou.

Congrats to the +ve people. They're coming thicker and faster now. Let's hope that's a good sign for those still waiting to test!

buttonmoon78 · 07/12/2010 17:19

Same goes for you Queenrollo. It's not over til the fat lady sings. But if she does this cycle then see your gp asap. It might make you feel a bit better to just have things in motion.

KLou111 · 07/12/2010 17:30

Am hoping the pink and brown was implantation. Not sure how long after that to test really, read different things on the net. 4 days seems the norm. Going to refrain til Friday now if AF not here :)

fel1x · 07/12/2010 19:38

Good luck KLou Smile
All this waiting and not knowing is so infuriating isnt it?

ravenlocks · 07/12/2010 19:44

KLou what a marathon. Good luck holding out til Friday and hope it is the right result.

So I am pretty certain I am ovulating right NOW (loads of CM and ov pains) and I am stuck at an airport AGAIN! This weather, I tell you! I should get home tonight eventually, just late. DH has promised some SWI in any case, since haven't done it since Sunday. I am also "holding on" and haven't pee'd since lunchtime. My OPK stick and pee pot are in my checked baggage. Ahhhhh! Last night not sure I got an accurate OPK result as forgot to do it at 7pm (my usual time)and instead did it at about 11pm after drinking quite a lot of water over dinner with a friend. It was negative.

Also quite pleased with myself this cycle that I am remembering to temp as well as getting to grips with TCOYF.

So I expect a positive OPK result tonight and a temp jump either tomorrow or Thurs(fingers crossed!).

northeastmummy · 07/12/2010 21:01

Hang in there KLou ... it still sounds really positive. Same for you jaggy. I had that same thing when I got pregnant with my first ... my cycle went on and on (think I got to about 42 days) before I got a BFP. But my temperature remained high the whole time.

jaggythistle · 07/12/2010 21:41

thanks northeastmummy. i must be a bit impatient as i got a bfp at 11dpo last time! couldn't believe that my temp was even higher this morning.

it's a bit harder this time fitting in swi with a busy teething 14mo. :-)

he has just about fallen asleep after getting all giggly at bed time. ended up leaving him in his cot watching his mobile, chatting to himself and making funny wee noises. :)

queenrollo · 08/12/2010 10:26

still no AF - though having checked my diary she the latest i could expect her to turn up is today. From tomorrow i will have visitors and collecting DS from his dad a day early too so if AF doesn't arrive I shall at least be distracted! Will wait until next week to test if she doesn't arrive before then......can't face more BFN's and then convincing myself it's just too early to show BFP. Why does TTC make you so irrational? Grin

orestyemerrywombat · 08/12/2010 10:31

Morning all. AF arrived for me on Saturday so I'm moving on to the September bus. good luckto those of you left waiting and testing!

Good luck Wombat (love the festive name change!)

ravenlocks · 08/12/2010 15:01

How bored am I? Really can't get into work and am much prefering surfing.

So bored I have taken getdowns 25% chance revelation (which I also read in TCOYF) and looked at out stats. Statistically the next person who stops this bus (assuming we are all SWI'ing at the right time) will do so as a graduate - wonder if this will be proved right?!

Smile
snowqueenrollo · 08/12/2010 15:23

ugh. I have no get up and go today. I have this funny popping noise in ears, and an hour ago i sat down for a 5 min break and started nodding off. I went for a lie down and set my alarm for an hour and when it woke me it felt like pulling myself through treacle to get up again. I could gladly go back to bed now and just sleep, sleep, sleep.

The house is a tip and i physically don't have the energy to tidy up before guest no1 arrives tomorrow.

KLou111 · 08/12/2010 16:02

Liking your thinking ravenlocks!!

Am now on day 37 here. First was 35, last one was 28 so am very confused as to what is going on.

DH and I are getting excited, as would be great to be preggars for Xmas, as we're on our own this year instead of the family thing (just in case it was our last one we could have on our own :)), so no queries with no booze, but going back to the Midlands again for NYE so not sure what I'd say. Getting away with myself again........

Good luck with your guests snowqueen loving the name!! Just chuck everything under sofas, beds and any other furniture!

orestyemerrywombat · 08/12/2010 16:06

Thanks Ravenlocks!

buttonmoon78 · 08/12/2010 16:17

Ooo. Fingers crossed for KLou then! It's sounding more and more hopeful I think. Though I am slightly in awe of your self-control at not testing every morning!

KLou111 · 08/12/2010 16:41

Well, I took 5 tests to the Midlands last Tuesday and I used the last one yesterday morning (the duff one) so I wasn't far off button !
Trying to hold out til Friday as sick of seeing BFN to be honest. Will prob have to order more cheapy tests at this rate though as think I only have a few left!!

jaggythistle · 08/12/2010 18:01

hey all. still no AF here, but temp down a bit today so expecting it to drop a bit more tomorrow then AF tomorrow or next day. CD30 today though which is a bit odd for me.

Eek just got a whiff of DS, he is having a poo fest today, this must be about his 6th.

MrsP81 · 08/12/2010 19:22

Well ladies, I have never felt more UNpregnant in my life. Only 10dpo so I suppose there's still time.....

snowqueenrollo, your tiredness thing sounds very promising. And I have my fingers crossed for you KLou.

Good luck on the next bus wombat. Probably see you there soon.

snowqueenrollo · 08/12/2010 20:58

well my hormones are definitely doing something as DP has upset me tonight and i stormed off upstairs out of the way (i have a temper, i go away to calm down Blush) and i have cried non-stop for the last hour and when he apologised (it was a misunderstanding) i just cried more and then asked him to go away and leave me alone.
I have a feeling this is my usual emotional outburst before AF shows up.

I'm actually feeling quite low generally this week, can't be bothered with Christmas, not really looking forward to having guests - all I really want to is snuggle on the sofa with DS but he's at his dad's until Friday......
