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!

180 I was doing well but went asda and they got clear blue on offer so I brought one and just did it and am not sure if I can see a faint line dp is not here so am don't know what to think now don't want to get excited as I'm havng to hold it up to the light to see it but I'm not sure if it there or my imagination!

180 · 31/07/2011 18:33

How exciting! I'm due an asda shop this week so will get some for the weekend (we'll I'm going to need them at some point even if not this month).

a line is aline though, even if very faint!

I'm not looking forward to testing at all this month. Was soo convinced I felt different last month and then during the last week I got all the af symptoms.

Imustbecrazy26 · 31/07/2011 18:53

Well I'm going to treat it as my imagination and if af doesn't turn up tomorrow test agaiin in a day or so!

180 · 31/07/2011 20:06

Very wise Crazy. Sorry am getting 2ww fever in addition to Bleat's Bug.

Imustbecrazy26 · 31/07/2011 20:21

I know what you mean i do feel different this month though my mood swings have been better then normal on the run up to af and no sore boobs but my clothes are feeling tight and my stomach feels huge and ive had loads of cm so when i thought i could see a line i went bit crazy!!!! Really hope af doesnt urn up tomorrow!!!!

SurprisEs · 31/07/2011 21:03

Hi everyone TTC so I thought I'd hop on the bus but I'm really confused with the whole stats thing.Lol As. For not having money for children: I probably would have had to wait forever. You just manage I suppose

LittleWhiteHeart · 01/08/2011 10:32

Hi All

Well AF due today, but no sign of her ... don't even feel like it could be due this week, no mood swings/sore boobs/ carb craving but I am bloated as hell.

In saying that, this is only my first month off the pill, so perhaps my cycle is a bit messed up?! Oooh, really want to test, but will feel a a bit stupid (and quite sad) if its and negative. Why do we let ourselves get our hopes up!

Crazy keep us posted on your progress - it's nice to know there's other out there too going through the same thing!

LWH x

Imustbecrazy26 · 01/08/2011 12:09

Well no af today but couldn't resist and did a test with fmu but got a BFN so am thinking yesterday I imagined the whole thing and my cycles have just not settled down am not feeling so hopeful now Sad

FloydieDoydie · 01/08/2011 13:43

I know exactly how you feel Crazy and LWH Sad.

I've still not had AF arrive although have small amounts of brownish cm (boke) every time I wipe.

I tested on Saturday and BFN, cant even bring myself to test again today because it's so disappointing seeing that single line appear (the bastard). If only his twin brother would pop up too! Or AF would just arrive and be done with.

Sassymk · 01/08/2011 13:47

Good afternoon ladies!

I have been on one of these buses a few months ago but decided to try have a break from my obsessive reading on the internet about conception! Anyway, I've sacked it off now and I'm unfortunately back for what is now cycle six. I do find comfort in talking to someone other than DP about it! Soooo, on with my stats..

Byrnsie30 · 01/08/2011 14:14

Hey all and welcome to newbies!

No AF for me yet or symptoms, still just less than a week to wait, so very early days. I am dying to POAS, but determined to be as good as I was last month. My aim is to assume a 35 day cycle and only test a week after that.

I now have Bleats Bug too! Just a cold really, but have been determined to take nothing for it, not even paracetamol!

My mate just had a baby, in the last few days. Really pleased for her, but it's made me feel desperate again!! Envy

Another BFN today on cd 34 Sad

harmonyb23 · 01/08/2011 17:45

Hello everyone, this is my second cycle since having my contraceptive implant removed. The first cycle I had was a bit iffy as it turned out to only be 17 days long - not sure what that was about! I had my DS 9 months ago now and am hoping to conceive ASAP, however, I am still breastfeeding and am not sure whether this is effecting my fertility?

Now CD 15 of my second cycle and have had a positive ovulation test as of 2 days ago. Hoping this may be the month - fingers crossed.

harmonyb23 - age : 23
TTC : #3
cycle : 2
CD : 15

Imustbecrazy26 · 01/08/2011 17:55

Sorry you got a bfn floydie!!!! Im driving myself crazy now already and me and dp have said we will wait a few days before testing again bu it seems like for ever when ive already waited 2weeks Confused

180 · 01/08/2011 19:33

Evening all. Absolutely shattered here.

Crazy and Floydie, sorry about your BFNs, it's so difficult knowing when to test.

Welcome to the craziness surprises, sassy and harmony.

Definitely having mood swings and craving food this eve, but possibly just haven't eaten enough today, possibly have just spent too long in the heat with two whiney underslept DC. Days like today do make me wonder why I want another Grin.

180 · 01/08/2011 19:34

I have my first possible craving though... a nice cold beer!

180 · 01/08/2011 19:35

Oops, sorry Byrnsie, meant to say I hope you are feeling better.

and so the waiting continues

FloydieDoydie · 01/08/2011 22:29

AF just put in an appearance - I'm glad to know one way or another at least. 34 days isn't too abnormal either :D

MeconiumHappens · 01/08/2011 22:56

just checking in with the bus as swi time comea round again. I tend to forget abou it all til about cd 16 (dont ov til about cd20) then think abou it far too much in the 2ww. So here begins attempt number 3 x

180 · 02/08/2011 09:52

Floydie sorry to hear that but as you say at least you know where you are now!

Hi Meconium, enjoy the swi.

I'm hot and knackered but had mood swings and craved sweet things yesterday which are af indicators so no idea where I'm at! Think I'm due Fri or Sat so no much longer to wait. Will test Monday if no af by then.

Imustbecrazy26 · 02/08/2011 12:06

Sorry af got you floydie!! Still no af for me and am now cd 30 no new symptoms. For me still tired and feeling huge and af doent feel like she going to appear any time soon but am going to try hold out till the weekend before testing again!!

Byrnsie30 · 02/08/2011 14:36

Hey all,

Welcome to more newbies! I still have the lurgy Sad

Think I'm due about same time as you 180 so we can wait and obsess together! I'm convincing myself I'm not PG, but I know I will still be disappointed if I'm not!

Harmony I have heard that breastfeeding acts as a natural contraceptive - might be worth researching to see how accurate that info is.

I'm off to lie on the sofa coughing and sneezing now - eye watering too - so attractive!

180 · 02/08/2011 15:53

hope you've got some honey and lemon byrnsie.

I have to say Ii'd take the breastfeeding as contraception thing with a pinch of salt. They say if you are exclusively breastfeeding ie no food or formula for baby, it does protect. I got preggers with #2 by accident when bf DD at 11 months.

Luce2006 · 02/08/2011 16:25

good afternoon :)
AF was suposed to arrive this morning but still no sign... did a test and got BFN. We weren't really trying this month so I won't be too upset if AF makes an appearence

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 02/08/2011 21:03

Hi all - can I join as a latecomer, I got on the other bus after being chucked off the March one and have been wondering where everyone was. Anyway, I missed you all, march was such a friendly bus, so I'm really glad I've found you.

I'm now 7dpo after getting a smiley face using clearblue digi opk's and so far feeling relatively calm (ok, maybe obsessing a tiny bit but not a total loony just yet)
