iggly I'm crampy too and utterly exhausted! Think it was muffins who posted on another thread saying that she was crampy before and after BFP so I'm hoping my cramps are PG related rather than AF as AF not usually late...but will still just have to wait and see! Man I'm such an impatient person! I keep thinking that if I'm this bad at this stage how am I going to be when we do finally make it and it's the last few weeks not knowing when DC will arrive!! Grin but need to get through this bit first...

Iggly · 23/01/2011 13:15

Good luck Blue! alas AF has appeared so time to be leaving this bus and starting up the next one. I'm not surprised really. Try harder next month I guess! Also it means my usual cycle length is back so pleased my body is recovering.

Hopefully I won't see anyone here on the November bus Grin

BlueCrane · 23/01/2011 13:33

aaah iggly so sorry to hear AF has decided to visit! Good about your cycle though...does make life easier for the 2ww in knowing a bit more what to expect when!

sevendwarves · 23/01/2011 14:06

Sorry Iggly good luck on the next bus

Iggly · 23/01/2011 17:03

Thanks ladies! I think I'll take it more seriously the next cycle - pregnant ladies every at work plus friends and SIL means I'm feeling rather Envy and broody.

pinkapples · 23/01/2011 17:05

I'm a little confused I think I should be on the bus, I have been waiting to start my period as I haven't had one since my last cycle (on Clomid and Provera) last cycle was 46 days and I have started today so am on cd 1 starting Clomid tomorrow although iggly said AF has come so she is getting off the bus?? So am I on the right bus haven't had a period in jan, this is it???

sevendwarves · 23/01/2011 18:19

pinkapples I've looked on the ovulation calculator and if today is CD1 you would need a cycle length of 31 days or less to be on the October bus, any longer and you need November, which is the trouble with long cycles!

My UCL is 36, I've worked out that if I haven't been lucky beforehand I'll go straight from the March bus to the May one!

sonsiexstitch · 23/01/2011 18:21

My body is playing tricks on me big time. I have had sore/itchy breasts, feel really tired and a few dizzy spells. Only on CD20 and have been convinced missed it this month with DP being away.

Hils74 · 23/01/2011 18:26

Sorry, stats should be

Hils74 TTC#1, Cycle 4, CD26, UCL27, AF due 25th Jan

Was going to do a test tomorrow but have cramps so I think AF is on its way :(

sevendwarves · 23/01/2011 18:32

Sorry hils and xstitch

hils I was assuming you had pregnancy brain!:o

Tamashii · 23/01/2011 19:49

Evening everyone...
Well, I tested again this morning and...
BFP!!!!!!!!!!
It's not as dark as the test line but it's a BFP all the same. I still can't believe it and will be constantly knicker checking since last time this happened it turned into early MC so I daren't get too excited.

Just so you know, my symptoms (since I have been logging them due to obsessively TTC for past year) were these:
Extremely sensitive boobs days after OPK+ going from agony to rock hard and sore to soft and agony and then blue veins showing day before BFP.
Brown spotting about 10DPO.
Really tired. Fell asleep on the couch a few times recently.
Slight cramping and heavy feeling.
Bloated.

It really felt like AF was coming so it's really impossible but the sore boobs were unusual for me so that was my main clue.

I just hope it's a healthy, sticky bean because I don't know if I can keep going with all this and I am getting on a bit.

Best of luck to you all. Thanks for the support and fingers crossed for everyone.

OutIntoTheBlue · 23/01/2011 19:56

Oh help, I'm going ttc crazy! CD26 today, and boobs have been agony for last 4 days; I've been really tired yesterday and today. I am swinging from being convinced I am pg to being convinced that I'm not and that AF is going to appear any minute. AF due on Wednesday, want to test to put me out of my mood swing misery but daren't test in case it's a BFN. Aaarrgghhh Confused

Sorry she got youiggly, hope the November bus is lucky for you

OutIntoTheBlue · 23/01/2011 19:59

Eek! Congrats tamashii !!! yay! A line is a line my dear, it doesn't matter about the darkness.

Well done

And what a LUCKY bus!

BlueCrane · 23/01/2011 20:03

Fantastic news Tamashii!!! Grin

Still no sign of AF here...but do have cramps on and off, extreme tiredness, bloating and constipation (sorry TMI)

Maybe another POAS in the morning but will see...best to wait a few days if I can and see if AF wants to say hello! This waiting is driving me nuts though Angry

Moved onto next bus
Iggly

Tamashii · 23/01/2011 20:13

Thanks for the congrats. I really can't believe it. I also can't believe how lucky this bus has been so far...

I honestly hope you get lots more BFPs soon - it's one of the busiest buses I've been on here.

I'll be keeping a look out for more BFP's on here

sevendwarves · 23/01/2011 20:22

What a lucky bus!

I just went for a nose around look on the September bus. They had 14 BFP's, we're already halfway there and look how many of us are still here! Looks like this bus will certainly be more successful :o

pinkapples · 23/01/2011 20:58

Well I don't know my cycle length as I have pcos and had 6 periods in 10 years before provera so it could be anything consultant says to assume 28 days as I ov'd as expected on day 14 last cycle so I'll hang around if you'll let me if it works out should put my due date about 28th oct... Well see start Clomid tomorrow x

sevendwarves · 23/01/2011 21:02

Then welcome pinkapples, and good luck with Clomid!

sonsiexstitch · 23/01/2011 21:41

Grin 7BFPs. congrats tamashi.

Waiting is awful isn't it?

edwardcullensotherfairy · 23/01/2011 22:19

Congrats Tamashii, great news! This is a really lucky bus so far, hope the rest of us get the same luck!
I'm determined to get serious about ttc this month; so far just been SWI from period to period, especially around ov time(I usually know when I ov, I can feel it if that makes sense?)
Anyway, can anyone give me some advice on temping/tracking etc? According to the MN calculator, most fertile days are 2-6 Feb. (No idea what my luteal phase is, so should probably work that out this month too, just in case). So when should I be temping and what am I looking for?

OutIntoTheBlue · 24/01/2011 08:06

I caved and tested this morning. BFN Sad

AF due Weds so I knew it was early to test, I told myself that I was doing it to confirm that it would be a BFN iykwim

But now I am gutted and really wish I had held on til Weds. Boobs still killing too Sad

sevendwarves · 24/01/2011 09:05

Edwardcullens- I'm not temping but i know you need to use a basal thermometer and take your temp every day as soon as you wake up, after at least 3 hours sleep. There will be a slight rise in temp from ovulation (I think it's after ovulation occurs, rather than OPK's which tell you before) which will decrease again once AF arrives, unless you're pregnant then it will stay up.

As I say though I'm not temping but expect someone who is will turn up soon!

outintotheblue it's hard to resist isn't it! I need to try waiting until at least the weekend really.

cep · 24/01/2011 12:56

welcome pinkapples

congratulations tamashii

Sorry i'm not keeping up to date much, not sure what's going on with me keep getting disturbed mornings before taking temp so pretty inaccurate, so ff hasn't able to pinpoint ov, i think i missed it though, still have till next week yet though so a long old wait. Pretty convinced af will come.
