The late November/ Early December Transatlantic flight!

[Pipbin]

Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Yeay, Pee-day Saturday all round then ladies :) finger crossed Chunky, although you've already secured yours :) lucky lady :)

So I was feeling a bit more cheerful and then I read your kind commiserations about AF and am weepy again.

Panda have you POAS yet? I have never heard it called 'decidual bleeding' before, but I kind of get why, like deciduous trees.

Funnily enough, my AF has been lighter than usual to date, and I had the same thought as you, but have decided it has to be AF. I watched "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" the other day, too!

The empty seats in first class are for the statistical next lot of BPFs

If I have put anyone in the wrong seats then do please move yourself.

Arggggh AF got me this afternoon 3 days early . At least it got me before I POAS. I wasn't that hopeful as was sick mid cycle but still very disappointed . Also I've never had a 25 day cycle before they are always 28.....hmmm

Well done to those with BFPs and I'm sure they'll be several more yet

I'd like to reserve a seat on the Santa sleigh please! I need chocolate tonight (just sent DH out to acquire some)

Bad luck cejay better luck next time - enjoy the choc :)

Aw sorry to those of you who had had the horrible visit from AF. Congratulations to the 4 AFs so far! Love the new chart Pipbin! Panda, hope the weirdness ends up being good news for you. YOu should POAS so you can either celebrate or board the christmas sleigh.

I tried so hard to be really cool about it all this month but now I'm started to get obsessed by it all again and a little bit excited. I HATE this feeling. The utter disappointment and deflated feeling at the end of the month. If only we could all switch our feelings off whilst TTC, it would all be so much easier wouldn't it? Af due Friday, but I've been optimistic for a 28 day cycle and put on the chart Sunday. If AF doesn't show (what's the chances) I really don't think I'll be POAS until Monday.

Panda go on POAS at least that way it will put your mind at rest.

Cejay sorry AF got you wishing you luck for next month.

Pipbin like the list

Looking forward to Saturday ladies when all them BFP's come flooding in just make sure you leave some room for me on the list.

Have come down with a flu bug and feel awful swi is the last thing on my mind hope I feel better for the weekend think that's when the big O is suppose to happen and don't want to miss the boat.

Thank you everyone for your lovely words.

Sorry to hear that AF has come for a few more of you, wishing you a BFP next month in time for christmas :)

And those who are 2ww..... well there is still plenty of room on the list and most definitely extendable, so don't by shy and come join us! xx

Cejay sorry to hear AF is visiting you too. But Santa's sleigh will roll up soon.

Pipbin, love the new stats... if all goes well and you get your BFP we'll have to use your approach to stats on the next flight... think of it as your legacy!

It is great to still have the moral support of the BFPs for a bit longer!

Of course Candy the list is the statically likely number of BFPs. That doesn't mean that it's the maximum we can have just the most likely number. I bet we can beat it.

AF is still not doing much
Could almost get away with not using a pad... I don't doubt that it's AF but I wonder if it really is as I'm not in pain at all
DH and I had a chat this evening & he's having doubts: 5 years of belt tightening (until LO goes to school) or not having another and go to Florida next year etc.
I see his point but it's only really really tight for 3 years (until help with nursery fees) and quite tight for another 2...
He wonders if it's not fair on DS.
I'm on the fence, I'd love another baby but I'd also like to have some "play money" (and a holiday occasionally).
We'd be tempted to send DS to public school (local one is utter shite) but if we had 2 we'd never be able to afford it.

I also remember worrying about money before DS, but we coped & I know we would again. It's just hard as our home needs lots of work etc... Oh what to do?!!

I think we should let fate decide: try for 6 months but no ovulation sticks etc... If it happens great, if it doesn't.. Watch out Mickey Mouse, we are coming in 2013

Sorry cejay about AF. A tiny consolation is maybe that at least you weren't late or kept waiting, AF had the decency to at least come a bit early and not be a tease. Good luck for next month

mummynickleby your husband sounds like mine! Identical discussion about hols and same school issue. However when I had my chemical pregnancy last year, DH initial reaction on finding out i was pregnant was genuine delight. And I really really really would love another baby.

pickled I'm a bit nervous for Sat now. Trying (and failing )not to get my hopes up!

Right I bought some Vit B complex this morning based on Pipbin's recommendation and I am feeling more positive... determined to succeed on the next flight.

Going to make a nice dinner tonight, feed DH up so he has plenty of energy for once AF has left.

Mummynickleby we had the same sort of discussion, too. In the long run, I think children benefit more from having a sibling than extra holidays. I understand the school dilemma, is there any chance of you moving to an area with better schools? Anyhow you have a relaxed approach to TTC now!

LimeLeafLizard - decidual bleeding is different from implantation bleeding and I think is what happens when women think they're still having periods when they're pregnant as it is more period-like than implantation bleeding.

I've decided to POAS on Saturday as I'm hoping that, given that lots of others are testing then, some positivity from all those BFPs will rub off

I was feeling really nauseous yesterday. I was reading on the tube home and got to a very slightly gruesome bit of my book and had to stop reading because I felt like I was going to throw up! It wasn't that bad at all and I'm not generally a sick-y type person and have certainly never felt ill from reading a book!

Oooh, yay panda we can be pee buddies on Sat along with pickled and chunky. Anyone else?!

Panda, that makes sense. I had that last time which was very worrying at the time, but all went well in the end. I'm certain my AF is real now though - .

Hooray that you've decided to POAS along with the gang on Saturday! We are away at PILs so I will have to find a way to log on and check the BFPs coming in!!

Congratulations candy!

CM question, I had ridiculous amounts of EWCM on Saturday, that was day 14. Since then I've had much smaller amounts but it's still stretchy. I would usually ov around day 18 but I have been all over the place recently. Can you have small amounts of EWCM after ovulation, or does it just stop? I have tingly nipples today so I checked to see if I could've ovulated early and I think it might be possible...

My temp has also steadily increased since then but only by small increments, not the big spike I've seen in online examples. Does anyone else have similar charts?

AF is still nothing more than the blood from an over squeezed zit....
I wonder....
But my boobs don't hurt like they did with DS.
Off to see Billy Connolly tonight.

On the topic of schools: there's only 1 worth attending in the area and the houses are £100k more than ours... They are nice though!!!
DH and I are both academic (dare I say "clever") people so I think, as long as we coach DS / DC they ought to do well wherever they go, it's a matter of studying routines I think. Oh, and buying text books rather than relying on computer programmes such as the dreadful "MyMaths" (a whole other topic that makes my blood boil).

MummyNic I had the whole 'boobs so sensitive they felt like breathing hurt' from before I missed AF with DD but this time it was a dizzy spell & nausea that came first. My boobs are only just starting to feel a bit 'full' now, which is nothing compared to how they were with DD. Not sure whether that's common with DC2 as your boobs have already stretched once, but I'm led to believe they do get more sensitive as time goes on.

PrimalChic is it possible you geared up to ov early but didn't iyswim? Don't chart so can't help there, sorry!!

Hey ladies.... Yes I'm still lurking around here... Feel happier on this flight then attempting to join others! I had a sneaky peak in november 2012 thread but got scared. Too many ppl on there! Nope, I am quite content reading everyones update here ! :)

I've been thinking it would be nice to set up a new thread once we have a few more BFPs to see through the next 9 months. Thinking a carribean cruise liner?! We can sip non alcoholic cocktails and natter while we wait for my BFPs from this flight to join us!

MEanwhile, I am doing my part and sprinkling a whole load of baby dust ... Very excited about Saturday ... Hear to many more BFPs ... This is after all , the flight that beat the statistics !!!

Stats to rival my shopping-maths*:

It looks as though we have ladies on this flight who are expecting dear AF over the course of more than a month. It's more 5+ weeks. That means that increases the number of BFPs we can expect on this flight by 20%!

Have spent the afternoon looking at my chart (imported into excel) and pretending it's work. My calculations say that I'm now 4dpo and officially on the 2ww at last. Still going to SWI for another week just to be thorough ;)

*shopping-maths = "if it's half price, you can buy two" diet maths work along the same basic principles.

PS candy save a luxury cabin for me please!

I did exactly the same Candypop & am too scared to jump off this flight at the mo. Maybe in a week or two...

Oh. I wish I were going on the cruise liner.

MummyNic, my boobs didn't hurt 2nd time round, either. I think Chunky's theory might be correct - that they have already done their stretching.

Can't wait to see all your BFPs coming in. Rooting for you gals!

Limeleave u will have a reserved cabin waiting for u :)
