Jump on the November bus! Thread for those that (if we crack it!) will have a Nov '11 due date.

[ravenlocks]

Jump on if you are a TTCer hoping that this cycle is 'the one' and will result in a sprog or sprogette due in November.

Welcoming season ticket holders and new passengers.

Ding ding!

Sorry gizzy, I take it you won't be going back to using contraception though? It may well happen when you least expect it, fx for you

I'm turning into a mad woman with all of this testing. I did a internet cheepy this morning and got a BFN. I have had crampy stomach all day today (been cramping for days now) then I was sick out of the blue, there is a bug going roung so maybe I have picked it up. I then went and bought a FR (incase internet cheepy was wrong) then I got another BFN. So to check that I did another cheepy!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im going made,I am going to get rid (or use) all my tests this month and not test until AF due next month.

I am due for an internal ultrasound next month 6 dpo, am i safe to do this, what if i am succesful next month could I jepodise the early pregnancy by having the scan? Im not prepared to not try next month.

Congrats to all the BFP's we finally have on this bus.

evening all! sorry about the BFN's gizzy and going

I have distinct feeling AF on her way right on time tomorrow as cramps kicking in and double if it also means my cycle is 35 days which just seems forever for another month (or maybe more) TTC!!

thinking STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!!!

I'm feeling so fed up tonight, dh is at work and can't stop myself from crying, feel absoluted gutted by my bfn this month so so wanted it to be positive :(
sorry for the me post but have no one else to say it to

thinking seven is right.

gizzy hun you are not due on till Sun, that is a way off yet.

Bluecrane fx she stays away xx

Ah, going, I'm sorry. It is so disappointing. It doesn't matter how much we say to ourselves not to get our hopes up, we do.

But keep your chin up. You never know what the next few days will bring x

gizzy and going it still sounds early for you both, without wishing to raise your hopes up, there may be a different result if you put off testing a bit longer?

seven and ghost thanks for the testing explanation. I've deliberately stayed away from that aisle in Boots, so I haven't read any of that information. I think I'll wait until next weekend. I'm not sure that testing before then will be constructive for me (i.e. internet cheapies and FRs are not to be purchased/delivered prior to AF due date).

I'm also not convinced by my 22-day cycle, but it's been like this since early January. Prior to that I was only casually aware of what was going on.I was certain I was a set-your-clock-by-the-regularity-28-dayer. But there was EWCM on days 10 and 11 last week, so it could be possible I have a short and impatient cycle?

Having said that, I'm still open to the possibility that AF is playing silly b*ggers and throwing me a few curveballs, because she knows I'm paying attention!

Anyway, statistically we must be due a few more bfps? FX

I'm jumping off this bus af arrived three days early??? Hopefully won't see too many of you on the dec bus (said in the nicest possible way!!!)

Well ladies this is my stop AF arrived on cd28 which I suppose I should be pleased about as means my cycles are back to normal after coming off the pill in nov, I won't be jumping on the dec bus straight away as going to take it as it comes, good luck to everyone left to test hope there are many more bfp's :)

Sorry to hear about AF arrivals. I'm now CD35 and theoretically this is the last date AF could be due but no sign yet Clearly it's not even 9am but my AF's do normally appear first thing in the morning for some reason! Am still holding off POAS until DH back...hopefully by the weekend but not confirmed yet!! If no AF today then may succomb tomorrow but will see!

going the tears last night were almost certainly caused by PMT as well as the stress of TTC - knowing your cycle length really does help when TTC but I know that's no comfort when you'd much prefer to have had a BFP.

Well after convincing myself I was PG my AF arrived with avengence yesterday. Don't think i've ever felt to shite in my life. I'm now thinking something is wrong. If I can concieve while on the pill(and not trying) why can't I when I'm not on the pill and am trying desperately. Congrats to all the BFP and Ihope I join you next month with a Chritmas baby. Sending lots of baby dust to all those yet to test.

So sorry to hear that donkir - hoping the December bus is lucky for you

Good luck BlueCrane generally and also trying to hold off testing - I am not sure I would have the inner strength

I am only 3 days in to what I think is my 2ww and I have already wasted 2 tests (one ovulation and one FR - just in case my cycle is 28 days after all) neither positive which I am hoping just means I have already ovulated on CD 19 or so and so I should be in the earliest testing zone on Monday or Tuesday next week. Arghhh!

The obsession begins. Don't remember it being this difficult to wait last time around - I think if anything I am more excited this time because I know how great it is

Anyone else due to test next week who wants to obsesswait patiently with me?

Thanks for the message cep will try and track that link down.

Blue I have everything crossed for you, wow to your inner strength! I really hope a BFP awaits you and DH on his return.

Sorry to hear AF arrived going, having a regular cycle will at least make it easier to know when to test etc. I hope you jump on borad the December bus with a BFP.

Good luck to all others left to test and enduring the dreaded 2ww x

Oh, also first symptom spot of the day....I just went out of my 2nd floor flat to let some builders in to the building leaving DS asleep upstairs (taking monitor with me) and shut the door behind me. No keys. Had to get the builder to come and shove the door open. Apparently my door is not very secure at all...opened without much effort at all which is both good and a bit worrying....

Anyway - absentmindedness (or sheer stupidity...) that's my symptom today

Hey poppy I can't believe how awful the waiting is...I had NO idea of what it would be like until we started TTCing...this only cycle 2 and I'm quite impatient! I do flit from 'the practicalities of having another month to save and not being due at the same time as SIL' to 'just wanting to get on with it and get my BFP'! Thankfully I've been so busy with work and wanting to wait til DH is home that I've been a bit more chilled this week. But now I've reached AF due date and my work deadline goes in today I suspect my obsessiveness will return by the bucketload and DH not back for at least a few days yet!!

BlueCrane I know what you mean with the stupidly long cycles! I have a 35 day cycle too and I hate it! Sounds good that your AF is late though, mine is due Friday and i'm pretty sure she is going to arrive :( DH and I have decided that if it's not our month this month then we are going to just relax next month and DTD whenever we feel like it. This month has been quite mechanical trying to do it on certain days etc, and we haven't felt like it at all. And this is only month 2!

Sorry to those whose AF has arrived.

I tested with a FR today (4 days early) and got a BFN, for some reason I'm quite relaxed about it this month though so not upset (although ask me again in 4 days!).

I know it's a stupid symptom but I've had 2 cups of tea today and they both tasted so awful I poured half of them down the sink. I normally love tea and wouldn't have thought anything of it but I really went off it when I was pregnant with DS.

Hello ladies,
I've been lurking on the bus, I just couldn't face too much scrutiny of every feeling and all the counting up of days.

I've been off the pill since last March, but with various injuries and stresses we only started properly TTC in Jan, so this is officially cycle 2 but I feel like I've failed every month since then anyway :-(

AF due any time between Monday just gone and Monday coming, but I'm feeling nauseous and nearly fainted in the street today. However, I had this last month and BFN for me. I'm trying to hold off on testing too, but it's hard - I just need to know one way or another...it's getting me down.

Good luck to all those still waiting.

Another BFN this morning and then a small amount of pink when I wiped (TMI). Sadly I think AF will be here in the morning, shower herself a day early. I suppose that means I can plan my next insemination meeting a day earlier this month which fits my plans far better.

(Still fooling myself into thinking this is implantation bleed but I know its not)

been mad busy with work and trying to catch up... sorry to all of you with af arrival or BFN...... ive had a few bfns but as im not due till the 8th i really am a little early....

good luck and fx to all of those of you who have yet to test..

lalabaloo we have also found this month quite 'mechanical' and also only cycle 2 of TTC!

I managed to chat to DH for 2 hours on the phone tonight so I am even though still not sure when he'll be home! I did a dipstick internet cheapie whilst on the phone and it was BFN but still no AF and clearly I was not using FMU so we'll see what happens tomorrow! Have had a very sore hip all afternoon which is an entirely new symptom for me, and also cramps all day too...ho hum...just have to keep waiting! Also been really emotional, but that could easily be PMT, tiredness and stress!

thinking I had a small amount of pink yesterday so also wondering about implantation

poppyjen I'll be testing on 10th, so I'll be lurking here until then. AF's due on 9th but I'm going to hold on until DH is back from work travels before I test. Easier said than done I guess!

I can add to the imaginary symptom spots: extremely tired today for no apparent reason. Although that's not really a novelty for me. I could list sleeping as one of my favourite pastimes!

blue I'm quite jealous of your work deadlines. I'm so quiet at work, time is really dragging and I am being given way too many opportunities to obsess!

Morning all...still no sign of Af here! Now CD36 of possible 30 or 35 and another BFN on an internet cheapie this morning...am saving my FR until DH back! Had slight constipation this morning and still have a sore hip and cramps so will see!

bornof I am quite glad I've been busy as it has been a good distraction, though being picky I think being slightly less busy might have been nice as my brain is liek mush now!! But, I have a quiet day today so the obsessing can return

thinking how are you this morning - any more signs of AF? and optimistick how are you?

ok symptom spot for today: definite crampy feeling on lower right abdomen, like AF but one sided. 5dpo by my calculation so too early for AF (hopefully).... any ideas what this could be?

bornofdust - you are very patient, I'd have had the FR out already! Best of luck, we'll have to swap results next week . I know what you mean about work being a distraction - I am at home with DS so everything reminds me of babies...

BlueCrane v. excited for you keep us updated!
