Hi all!

I've just fell off the March bus last night and feeling Sad. There is another bus for April but I didn't see any familiar names on it and I know a few old friends fell off the March bus so I thought I'd start my own bus (first one I've really started!)

So I'm handing round the Wine and Biscuit and sitting at the back 'til AF
buggers off finishes her lovely visit!

yes I read that's a sign too. finger crossed for you crazy!

BoogiesBunny · 27/07/2011 19:46

Helllloooo!! I don't think I know many people of this thread anymore - but I've been spying lately and, as AF date approaches I am feeling your anticipation and nerves. I had to take some time out from here following after an unsuccessful few months but I missed sharing it all with you!

I came off the pill in Feb and my cycle is fluctuating between 28 and 31 days so am a bit clueless about when to SWI and expect AF too.

AF might be due anytime from tomorrow - but I hope not. Lots of CM today, boobs not too sore, emotionally have been up and down over the last few days - I am hoping so much for a BFP this month, I don't want to test and be proved wrong, but I think AF will come again as it has every other month.

Byrnsie30 · 28/07/2011 09:43

Hey all,

Wow, bus is getting really busy! Welcome to all newcomers Smile

I am currently 6 DPO and it's 9 days 'til AF due, based on a 33 day cycle (although this has varied) I am dying to POAS but I know it will be a waste of time and money at this stage! I have managed to be patient so far, just got to keep going for another week or so. No symptoms either - I'm trying not to spot obsessively!

Hope you're feeling better mini - you definately need to eat regularly, your body will need lot's of energy to make that baby!

Thanks Byrnsie and crazy all better now - am going to start eating breakfast which is probably a good idea even if I'm not pg.

180 that sounds horrid, fainting on the tube - glad people helped you though, someone told me a tale yesterday of fainting on the train and people just stepped over her Shock.

Byrnsie you're just a few days ahead of me (again!) - fx this is our month.

180 · 28/07/2011 10:48

morning all. apologies if this is tmi but has anyone had continued ewcm after they have OPd? I think I am 4 DPO but now have no idea! Byrnsie do you know what day you are as I think I'm meant to be one day behind you. Surely the stress of packing can't have delayed it?

180 · 28/07/2011 10:55

oops.. didn't see your post Boogie and Byrnsie.

Welcome Boogie.

I'm now very excited that I may really be 4 or 5 days DPO. woohoo! Just pretend symptom spotting but am feeling a bit more niggly than usual.

Liliana1 · 28/07/2011 11:10

Hi everyone. Well I'm off as AF made her appearance yesterday.

Not been around much with end of school and moving house so no time to symptom spot or get stressed about it.

Been considering whether it is worth carrying on as now been going for 16 months :( DH and I have decided to stop putting our lives on hold so are about to book flights to Vegas :) Will stay off the pill but no more (well not as much) charting, counting, checking cm etc etc. Will see what happens and chill for a bit.

Good luck to all you ladies and I'll be lurking to see how you get on - need my regular MN fix Grin

FloydieDoydie · 28/07/2011 17:12

Well, think I've fallen off - it brown discharge today (gross, sorry!), which usually means AF proper arriving the next day (well it did when I was on the pill anyway).

BUT at least this has meant I had a 30 day cycle, so hopefully this will stay a regular occurrence (until I am upduffed asap obv.!)

Hope to see some BPFs for the rest of you in this bus though Grin

Imustbecrazy26 · 28/07/2011 17:52

Afternoon,

Well no new symptoms for me, still feel huge and bloaty trying to convince myself it diff from every other month but it probably not. Slept better last night but still really tired today so could still be in with a chance.

180 im still hsving loads of cm not all ewcm but have had some and cant remember for the life of me if it was like this last month or not!!

Sorry to thoses that have fallen off!!!

Not long till af due on Monday and lucky for me i got a busy weekend so wont be tempted to test early and be dissapointed!!! I havent got any tests in the house either which is probably a good thing other wise im sure i would do one at some point as i know what you mean 180 i dont feel myself but cant remember what i was like with dd as she was a complete suprise dont think i had any real symptons to start with i was just convinced i was pregnant it did take 6 tests to get a positive but i was right Grin

LittleWhiteHeart · 28/07/2011 19:24

Hi All

Just checking in after a busy week or so. Really sorry to hear about the ladies who've fallen off this bus - best of luck for next month.

My AF is also due Monday, so started symptom spotting like a loony! My currently daily symptoms include peeing at least every hour or so, low energy levels, crampy butterfly type feeling in my lower abdomen and general crankiness. So tempted to test but going to try hold out til mid-next week ... what do you reckon? Anyone else testing Monday onwoards?! Might need someone to hold my hand!

LWH x

ingo · 28/07/2011 20:33

hi everyone

Determined to be pregnant this month as my sil is pregnant with her 2nd im very pleased for her of course :) but im not looking forward to my mil going on about it for the 2nd time every time i visit.

ingo (24) ttc#1 AF due 7th Aug

Imustbecrazy26 · 28/07/2011 21:12

LWH if no af on Monday i will prob be testing too!!!!

Bleats · 29/07/2011 09:47

Thanks for the welcome 180 ? the whole thing seems obsessive (blogs and all) which is surprising really as not my normal style. Nature hmm.

Thanks for adding me to the list Byrnsie30.

Not really that hopeful for this one, after feeling rubbish have discovered that most people in the office had a similar ?bug?. Either that or we are all about to end up pregnant and the company will probably close down. We shall see not going to poas just yet.

180 · 29/07/2011 10:47

morning all. Well I had an odd night of sweats and nightmares and a bad tummy with the inevitable result this morning. Still feeling really hot, getting some niggly pains and feeling absolutely knackered so either ill or definitely body cranking in a different direction...(or I have Bleats' bug too).

Actually Bleats' bug sounds like a really good name for what you have during the 2ww and turn out not to be upduffed.

Byrnsie30 · 29/07/2011 12:26

Hey all,

Sorry to all those who have fallen off. AF not due 'til a week tomorrow, so I have a while to wait yet. I still like to check in every day or two though! x

OP posts:
FloydieDoydie · 29/07/2011 12:59

Well it seems I presses the "bus stop" button too soon...brown discharge (sorry!) stopped last night, no AF today. Don't know if this is a good sign or a bad one.

minipie · 29/07/2011 13:10

implantation bleeding Floydie

welcome back!

lalabaloo · 29/07/2011 15:45

Hi all, just checking in, I haven't got any news but I don't even think i've ovulated :( Feeling a bit sorry for myself today, had a bit of a sob at a friend's baby pictures earlier. Think I need to get a grip!

minipie · 29/07/2011 16:18

why don't you think you've ovulated lala? sorry you're feeling weepy - though it's good for you you know, lets out lots of excess hormones... !

Byrnsie30 · 29/07/2011 20:27

Hi all,

Might sit next to you Floydie. No symptoms at all, but got that AF feeling. Can't explain it - just a feeling!

It's way too soon for even AF though, so ya never know!

I hate the 2ww. And there doesn't seem to be a smiley for when you're just feeling blah!

OP posts:
Bleats · 29/07/2011 21:52

180 Bleats' bug lol.

lalabaloo - poor thing, but a good cry every now and again...

FloydieDoydie oooh both wrong but potentially so good if as minipie suggests. Minipie by the way hoping very much for you - AF can just well bugger off on 8th Aug for a good 8 months Smile.

I raise a glass of Wine to you all at this time of night.

lalabaloo · 29/07/2011 23:37

Thanks guys, I haven't had any EWCM which is why I don't think I ovulated, I usually do have it. I'm trying to keep positive, it is just hard after a few months isn't it?

Discolite · 30/07/2011 07:14

I'm off the bus too and i'm quite worried - I only ovulated on Sunday, giving me a 4 day luteal phase. Last month it was 9. So I'm off to get me some vitamin B6 this morning. Still, on the plus side that's my cycle down to 29 days (from 41,42 and 34) and I can have a few drinks on holiday. Being pregnant would be even better though :(

Good luck to everyone else who is still on the April bus, and I'll see the rest of you on the May bus,

Discolite x x

Imustbecrazy26 · 31/07/2011 12:53

Well af should be arriving tomorrow but dont really feel like its going to come it is only 3rd month off the pill so i guess i just have to wait and see my stomach still feels huge but i think it feels different from normal (maybe just my imagination) and am still exhausted not sure when i should test really? Maybe i should wait as long as possible but not sure how long i can wait Grin

180 · 31/07/2011 16:13

Lovely sunny Sunday here.

Enjoy those drinks Disco and good luck on the next bus.

Fingers crossed for you floydie.. Have you tested yet?

Crazy well done for holding out this long! I've alwys tested the day before I was due in the past!

Well, symptoms continue here with feeling hot, disupted sleep, feeling bloated and today my boobs feel like my milk is coming in so I'm pretty sure somethings afoot as I never get this with af. Not due until next Sat by my reckoning. It's going to be a very long week!
