Well this month hasn't given us many BFPs on this bus has it, see you all on the November bus, fx for all those still to test :)

queenrollo · 05/02/2011 10:28

still haven't got my usual pre-AF symptoms.....trying not to get my hopes up...

TheCake · 05/02/2011 11:15

Wishing everyone who has left the bus good luck for the November bus, I am fully expecting to join you too as have had hardly any swi this month as my DH has been away. But... This morning when I wiped a had CM with brownish pinkish blood, only a small amount. I've never had this before, even before I was on the pill. Last Swi was last Sunday, AF due sometime after next sat. Gone from having now hope at all and thinking I'll be relaxed we are in no rush etc...to thinking 'could this be a sign'! Here's to a week of bloody constant symptom spotting!

Hello lovelies, I'm back from the states, and spotting lightly so fully expect to be jumping off the bus today or tmr :(

starlight I think as soon as you start swi you start noticing all sorts of things you'd probably normally ignore, but you never know...

no1childminder · 05/02/2011 18:29

can i hope on and buy a ticket?! got my BFP this afternoon!!! :)

no1childminder · 05/02/2011 18:30

*hop

hope i havent got pregnancy brain already lol

goingmadtrying · 05/02/2011 19:09

Congrats no1childminder fx queenrollo

jaggythistle · 05/02/2011 19:34

Starlight - when I was pregnant I did note cramping from about 7dpo.

however that was my first ever cycle charting and having had 4 not pregnant cycles this time around, i have noticed a bit of cramping (and got my hopes up) a couple of times.

So that wasn't actually very helpful Blush

could be a sign, could be just not so noticeable when you're not symptom spotting looking for it like I was.

no1childminder · 05/02/2011 19:49

thank you goingmadtrying

Thinking11 · 05/02/2011 23:22

real crampy stomach today, AF, hunger or PG? I did another too early to be any use test today and of course BFP, i hope i can hold off doing another tomorrow!

Thinking11 · 05/02/2011 23:23

i wish i mean BFN

queenrollo · 06/02/2011 13:04

congrats no1childminder Smile is this your first? or do you have child(ren) already?

still absolutely no symptoms here. DP and I had a few 'words' this morning and I had to walk away as I started crying. Unusual for me to get so upset over a silly little thing. So my hormones are definitely doing something but still no sore boobs or bloated belly which i usualy get at least 7 days before AF arrives. Of course I'm trying to be sensible and not get my hopes up but I can't help it. For me the total absence of my usual pre AF symptoms is making me wonder if I'm PG......
Not due AF until Weds, going to try and hold out until Friday to test if she doesn't arrive by then.

Pixiepops · 06/02/2011 18:48

Congratulations no1childminder :)

I'm not entirely sure what's happening with me... AF's due next Wed, and I got a BFN yesterday morning, so was fairly resigned to moving onto the November bus. Last night though, I was woken in the night with stomach cramps. This never normally happens, I normally get some cramps about 12hrs before AF appears, and am pretty much regular as clockwork cyclewise. Could it maybe be some kind of implantation cramping? I'm probably being overly optimistic, but I hope so!

Thinking11 · 06/02/2011 19:33

Congrats no1childminder!

Fingers crossed Pixiepops!

This is my stop, got AF this morning. A little early but deffo AF. :(

Im walking to the bus stop now for the November bus, hay if im successful this month we could share a birthday!

stewmaker · 06/02/2011 19:37

Pixiepops · 06/02/2011 21:08

Me too starlight!!! I think we are due around the same time, I'm going to try to hold off till Friday at the earliest (even though I've got a draw full of Internet cheapies)!

EnglishCountryGirl · 07/02/2011 13:18

Congrats no1childminder and fx for everyone else.

I'm usually really regular, but seem to be about five days behind this month. Positive OPKs finally for the last two days - CD 18 and CD19 - but no temperature shift yet. I'm so frustrated. I just hope I do actually ovulate this month...

On another note, this is the first month I've used the internet cheapy OPKs, and I seemed to be getting negatives even though other signs Blush indicated that I was about to ovulate...

So I tried one of the first response OPKs I was using last month and an internet cheapy to compare, and the first response was a bold positive, but the internet cheapy was still faint and negative.

Has anyone else noticed this before? And what did you do? Don't really want to go back to using the First Response OPKs because they cost a fortune in comparison, but the internet cheapys don't seem very reliable...

knittymum · 07/02/2011 16:54

Hello, I'm tentatively getting on the bus, but staying by the door I think! On the 2ww now, AF due on the 17th or 18th. TTC#3, CD21, UCL 31ish! Trying hard to resist buying HPTs until AF's at least due, but I walked past them three times in Tesco today, and have also looked them up online. Would any of you recommend testing early, or do you think I'd do better to wait until I'm actually late?? I'm just not sure if I'll be able to resist one little HPT next monday or thereabouts!

queenrollo · 07/02/2011 17:49

ok i did a silly thing and POAS this morning and BFN. Not due til Weds/Thurs.

Still have none of my usual pre-AF symptoms....have no symptoms at all actually. Just feel completely normal. I feel like going to bed and sleeping until Friday because these last fews days waiting to see are dreadful.....

TheCake · 07/02/2011 18:24

I know how you feel queenrollo - I feel so frustrated because I had totally resigned myself to there being no chance this month and now I'm not so sure. Just want to know either way!

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 20:34

hey - just dropping in to say that I got a BFP today :-)

Very excited (DH is too!!)
