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

Congrats to three and snow, amazing start!

Welcome to the new passengers, sorry you've had to join us but best of luck this cycle.

I have nothing to report, half way through my most uneventful 2ww yet, not a glimmer of a symptom (and I've had them ALL) so it's been pretty boring and don't know what to think.

Could really do with a summer baby though as ds is straight after Christmas, other is Feb, as is h, me, mil and sil are Jan.

Bankrupting...

poor baby would stand a better chance of a decent present and party if he/she gets made sooner.

indiangirl2013 · 01/10/2013 08:14

So we have been trying for about 3 months now for a second baby. The first two months were weird cycles with one that actually saw my period a week late (never ever happens!)...this one, too is a confusing one. My fertile days were between 14-18 and we BDd during those days...now about 14 dpo (i think) i have sore boobs, weird back pain, and a grose taste in my mouth...? totally confused! will test in three days (after my period due date)...but feels so so so weird...

Choccywoccydodah · 01/10/2013 08:16

Lol charles. My brothers are both December, one is 3 days before Xmas and he hated it esp his gifts were wrapped in Xmas paper for his birthday!

Well, think I may actually get a positive ov test today, a lot darker this morning, exact same cd (16) as last month. Hoping for a longer LP though.......
Ds happily playing so might have to go wake Dh up Wink

Choccywoccydodah · 01/10/2013 08:17

Good luck Indian!

charleslingus · 01/10/2013 08:28

Hi Indian, welcome. All sounds promising, let us know how you get on!

choccy no one is allowed to give him 'joint presents' or wrap anything in Xmas paper, he is in that crap time between xmas and ny.My poor cousin is boxing day so have seen how much it annoys her.

Glad you're finally getting positives, at least your body is being predictable. How long was lp last time? Happy shagging!

Morning Ladies. Congrats to the BFPs. It looks like a good start to Oct. I'm currently between two buses as my BFP/af is still MIA. Didn't test this morning as I couldn't face another BFN but may try again tomorrow. If still nothing by Fri I will be contacting the GP. Feeling slightly nauseous buy it may just all be in my head Confused.

mama31 · 01/10/2013 08:50

Morning ladies, af seems to have settled down today...phew!!! And had a great sleep so feel ready to face the world again....and the ttc journey!!!! Bring it on!!!!!!!

Good luck crazy hope you get a bfp soon!!!

Nulanoo · 01/10/2013 08:56

Well I was asleep for 8.30 last night! I haven't tested this morning I'm trying to leave it for a few days.

Hope everyone else is ok this morning :)

Massive congratulations to three!x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 01/10/2013 08:56

yay glad to hear it mama. Nothing beats a good nights sleep either!

fluffythelabcat · 01/10/2013 08:56

My missing AF has turned up today, gone from 27 days to 31, I think my body is trying to creep back up to my pre-pill 35 day cycles, I was so smug back then but now it seems sooooooo long to wait!! Have ordered a thermometer to start temping as I am sure I missed ov last month.

Good luck Indian and Crazy!!

Choccywoccydodah · 01/10/2013 08:58

That's good Charles. My friends little girl is 27th Dec and they always have a little party to make sure she doesn't miss out.
Cycle was 26 days last time, but started spotting only 7dpo (thought implantation as was pale pink then brown) so was very short.

Dh just blew me off, he's got to be out by 9 so he saido he'd 'sort me' later lol.

Glad af has settled mama.

Hoping for a bfp for you crazy!!

mama31 · 01/10/2013 09:03

Choccy wow!!!! DH needs to quit that romance lol

Thanks ladies feeling much more positive today.....but I just don't want this ttc journey to go on too long....it consumes your life!!!!!

IBelieveInEngels · 01/10/2013 09:18

Wow! This bus moves fast!

fluffy I had that last month, cycle went from 28 to 31. AF due yesterday (if I stick with the regular 28) so keeping everything crossed that this isn't just a long cycle.

Part of me is staying positive - I didn't have crazy pmt last week like I normally do (though according to DH I still had my moments!) but we weren't as proactive as we could have been.

It would be perfect timing though - beginning of June so off after May holiday, here the summer holidays don't count in your maternity leave (not in UK, teacher) so could easily be off till October half term on full pay (and not have to mop up too much damage from whoever takes my classes for the first half term).

I'm also a BM at best friend's wedding in October in UK so if we keep ttc, may have to stop for a few months. I don't mind being pg or having a month old baby (though maybe not as a BM!), but if it's the month around my due date there's no way I'll be able to travel and I just have to be there (she lives on the other side of the world so don't see her much in RL).

Must stop thinking about it and get on with RL - I hate waiting!

charleslingus · 01/10/2013 09:21

'Sort you' Grin priceless.

Snowlet · 01/10/2013 09:24

Well, happy October, today was my 'official' test day so I did a FRER, line a bit darker than two days ago which is good, but these aren't blazing dark lines so I'm a little worried about HCG levels but trying not to be.

Didn't someone else have a 1st Oct test day?

LH1981 · 01/10/2013 09:25

How is everyone today?

Haha Mundy! Give me a B! Give me an F! Give me a P! What have you got? BFP!!!!!

This is our month. This is the lucky October bus! xx

ImaginaryHat · 01/10/2013 09:31

Morning ladies, don't normally get to post during the day due to work so this is a treat! Glad you're feeling on the up this morning mama!

Choccy that's so funny what your dh said! Its kind of true though, I think me and dh both know there's no way we'd be dtd this much if not for ttc so it kind of does take the spontaneity and romance out of it a bit!

LH1981 · 01/10/2013 09:31

Wow, my page obviously hadn't refreshed properly because there are loads of posts since last night!

Still missing my AF Purple - yawn!

Mama, glad things have settled down, hopefully no more of those for you! xx

indiangirl2013 · 01/10/2013 09:34

Hey thanks Choccy and all of ya! To add to the baffling symptoms, i keep having this greenish, sometimes yellowish and white CM that makes me run to the loo thinking AF is on the way! :S fingers crossed! Good luck to ya'll!

IBelieveInEngels · 01/10/2013 09:39

I should test snowlet but am too chicken (and at work atm). I tested early (on sat and was negative) and now just waiting a few days I think...I'm trying not to obsess, but I reckon if AF doesn't put in an appearance during the day I may test tonight after running. Last month AF was 3 days late so still time for her to make her presence known...

LH1981 · 01/10/2013 09:43

Hi Indiangirl and welcome!
Oooh, your symptoms sound promising - back pain, gross taste (is it metallic?).
Not sure about the cm. I have ewcm again, not sure if that means I'm ovulating, which means I genuinely have skipped an AF - would be typical as my DH is away until Saturday and we dtd on Saturday morning (weekend gone) so prob means I've missed the boat.

Symptom spotting like crazy, but not going to test until Sat morning. Feeling a bit light headed this morning, sure my sense of smell has got more sensitive and had quite a bit of abdominal pain last night - but could mean AF is finally on its way.

Snowlet · 01/10/2013 09:44

Yeah IBelieve you sound completely sensible, I should have waited and tested today but I tested two days ago because I felt So. Sick.

Thing is, I had this really strong desire to watch the lines get stronger, after my 5wk m/c, and I think that clouded my better judgment! you do set yourself up for a lot of heartache though.... If I'm totally totally honest, I had a few negative tests before then, I think I started around 9dpo! it's too tempting having the cheapies around

Snowlet · 01/10/2013 09:46

LH the lightheadedness was my very first symptom! and it felt different to what you might normally feel if you stand up too fast or something

IBelieveInEngels · 01/10/2013 09:46

That's also another reason why I'm holding off - only have 2 pg tests in the cupboard!

MrsDinoRawr · 01/10/2013 09:47

I am 4dpo and trying not to symptom spot as I know it is far too early! However I have heavy feeling like I get day before AF due. How can two weeks feel sooo long!
