Well I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start up the October bus, there's plenty of Cake and Wine on board and extra comfy seats for relaxing into those BFP's

Congratulations snowlet! That's fantastic Smile

I think I ov'd on Friday/Sat which would be CD16/CD17 on a 30 day cycle but going to keep on enjoying the benefits of eod DTD Wink until I get a BFP AF shows up.

DH away for a couple of couple of days from tomo until Thurs so glad it seems I might have ov'd already.

SoMuchFruit · 30/09/2013 05:26

science - Now you know what to do! Well done! (it seems as bizarre to be congratulating you for seduction techniques as it must seem for you to be congratulated but anyway..)

Sorry to see you here Mama. I hope this bus is lucky for you. FX.

Notta - Biology lesson! LMAO at that post !

Nulanoo · 30/09/2013 06:31

Congratulations snowlet :) :) :)

I've just done a frer and bfn

Snowlet · 30/09/2013 06:48

Nulanoo I got a faint pos on a Superdrug yesterday, they're more sensitive than a FRER (10 vs 25) so don't lose hope! What DPO are you ?

Did another Superdrug and a FRER just now, both BFP!

wispaxmas · 30/09/2013 06:54

Congrats, snowlet! Hopefully it's just a sign of things to come for the October bus.

Nulanoo · 30/09/2013 07:03

I think I'm 12 dpo x

Choccywoccydodah · 30/09/2013 07:16

RaRaZ · 30/09/2013 07:22

Congratulations Snowlet! Grin This is really exciting - a BFP before the month has even begun! Hopefully it's a good omen for us all. Fingers tightly crossed.

My boobs are tingly, itchy, and tender. Hoping that might be a good sign...but terrified it's a really bad one because it happened in an anovulatory cycle of mine as well as when I was pg Hmm

Lililly · 30/09/2013 07:41

Can I join? ttc a 5th, at age 37 after a 10 year break. will find out on 4th, 1st month trying after coil removed.
Feel sick, tired , cried 3 days in a row, cramps for a week. Fingers crossed!

Milknosugar33 · 30/09/2013 07:52

Morning all!

And many many congratulations snowlet!

We managed DTD on Saturday morning and last night as planned, but I'm feeling a bit fed up today. Not sure why. Just don't believe it has happened for us this month for some reason and think I've been so positive for the past three weeks I might have worn myself out of it.

Also, questioning if I know my cycle coz although I got positive opk's on friday and saturday night (really strong) I didn't have ewcm until yesterday. Does that sound right to you guys?

Sorry for being a bit down. Not like me at all. Perhaps just Monday morning blues and I'll be fine tomorrow?! Hope so!

Sparrowlegs248 · 30/09/2013 07:58

Wow snowlet excellent news to get the bus off to a good start!!

Sorry to see you hear mama but welcome. I was really keeping my fungers crossed after your immense effort. Do you have a plan this month?

science well done on the seduction!! I am not very good at initiating but am getting better. To be fair it doesn't take a lot!! But i can't cope with a 'no thanks' sensitive soul that i am... managed this morning though, so pleased with myself.

So i am the dtd section of the bus after af fecked off yesterday. Good luck all!!

JellyBeanDavey · 30/09/2013 08:11

I think it's time I should jump on. I was naughty and stayed on the sept bus even though my ticket expired Blush

I think AF is slowing down now, be nice for it to leave now. Want to get on and dtd Wink

So here I am JellyBeanDavey ttc#1 cycle #4 BFP due 27th

Congratulations snowlet ( makes me think of Christmas eeeeeeeee Smile)

mama31 · 30/09/2013 08:13

(Removes reserved sign and sits on seat at the back) AF has arrived as suspected.

Thanks for the welcome ladies and bug congrats again snowlet, great start!! :)

Hi notta!!! I'm feeling a bit deflated to be honest, I'm sure once af passes ill be more positive! Prob going to do smep, maybe overdid it last month so will stick to smep this time and see what happens. What's your plan??

Sparrowlegs248 · 30/09/2013 08:18

Ah thats rubbish mama - doesn't help that the disappointment of not being pregnant is coupled with the misery hormones of af does it?? My plan is to dtd more than twice in my fertile week!! I only have 25 day cycles so realistically dtd every other day for the 10days in the middle shouldn't be too difficult!! Maybe twice at the weekend......

Although looking at my week it might be better more likely to happen to have another gobtomorrow, thurs and the weekend. Off to check calender.....

Sparrowlegs248 · 30/09/2013 08:19

Go tomorrow - not gob. Doh.

VickyVix · 30/09/2013 08:23

Wow congratulations snowlet , great news!

Let's hope this bus is a good one, it's certainly a good start.

Sorry to see all you ladies from the September bus, hope this month is your month (and mine too!)

I have actual stats now as got my fixed smiley Sunday morning. So assuming ov is within 36 hours of that I think my BFP date is 14th/15th Oct (not 12th as thought before).

Managed to DTD fri night/ sat morning and sun morning and got my fixed smiley sun morning - just stressing if this is enough?? Will try and get DH in the mood again tonight I think, would so love it to work this month Grin

How do you ladies work out how much to DTD around ov? I want to make every effort I can

Snowlet · 30/09/2013 08:48

ahhhh thanks everyone, and hopefully it's the first of many many many BFPs on the bus!

So, symptoms, I'll try and make the list, not sure of which DPO though, sorry, but I'll try to put them in order of earliest to latest

started about 6dpo with fatigue and lightheadedness, then nausea (light, but definitely abnormal) then the CRAZY dreams began, so vivid and intense, then the feeling like AF was coming and the 'wet feeling' though CM was nearly dry and no AF (obvs!), light cramping, tiny bit of implantation bleeding, no pain though (this time, last time it hurt a lot!), but I think the big symptoms that made me sure even before I tested were I got very achy knees and other joints (but especially knees) and food started tasting completely different, this has been over the past maybe three days (I'm 13dpo today), I also had a few other symptoms like heartburn, feeling cold, buzzing in my ears, v.emotional (poor DP!), but those honestly could have been other things

I had a couple days in there where I was sure I was out because literally everything went away, it all came and went as well, nothing was constant

Also, first time I was PG (lost 5wks), I had SUPER sore boobs from very early, and this time, hardly at all (bit of nipple soreness which could have been something else), so it really is true that no two pregnancies are the same, boobs has always been my telltale AF sign too so I dunno, bodies are strange!

sorry, massive post! anyway Fx for everyone, I'll be checking in every day to see who's BFP'd!!!!

Missvaughan85 · 30/09/2013 08:57

Can I jump in please, sept af has got me good and proper this month, miss vaughan ttc #2 cycle 3 bfp ??

mama31 · 30/09/2013 09:06

Notta sounds like a good plan....I'm also gona continue taking 50mg B6 as my cycle has lengthened from 23days to 26days and LP from 10 to 13 days just in one month of increasing the B6 so I guess I should be happy about that. Whens your bfp due??

Missvaughan hello there....take a seat beside me at the back.....we can sob together..... :(

This amount of pain I had this morning would but if set me in the right foot for a busy day in work!! Pain has subsided but leaking like no ones business!! Just glad I've had something another bfn and no af would if sent me crazy!!! I'm making myself comfy for the ride!!!
Wishing everyone lots of luck this month!!!

Sparrowlegs248 · 30/09/2013 09:26

I'm starrting pregnacare also this month. Bfp due 19th so not long really!

MundayCakes85 · 30/09/2013 09:40

Congratulations Snowlet, that's so exciting for you. Thanks for the symptom list. Think I ovulated last night, had a +be OPK yesterday morning and some dull belly ache in bed. This morning my temp went from 36.0 to 36.34- is that enough of a rise? Will take another OPK today and keep watch on my temp.
Hello September people, sorry AF got you. But by the looks of it theOctober super fast Concorde is going to be very lucky!
Hope everyone is having a lovely Monday Hmm

Owlie84 · 30/09/2013 09:48

Hello everyone! Yeesh, Monday again...

I'm sorry that AF got you, Sept people but hopefully this'll be a very lucky bus!

I'm at work this morning with a nagging headache, dull backache and a twingey (sp?) pain on my side. I'm really hoping these aren't because I slept awkwardly or something! I'm 7DPO so i know it's early, but i'm just hoping.
This is the first cycle of 5 that i'm feeling any kind of possibility, due to DTD-struggles. it's still happening, but i'm trying to be positive!

fluffythelabcat · 30/09/2013 09:51

So annoyed, still waiting for AF, thought she was arriving Saturday (cd27) as last month but still no sign today, just spotting. POAS this morning and BFN, wondering if my cycle is getting longer, pre-pill they were 35 days so am I likely to go back to that?? Would be soooooooo long to wait every month!!
