Roll up Roll up it's the October BFP bus!

[Kemie]

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

Wow this bus moves quicker than the sept one you chatty ladies :)

Ok so update, poas and I THINK I saw a line, asked DH whose response was I dont really understand it grrrrrr!!!! So I have been shopping all morning with my sister in town and just purchased 2 x cbdigis. Now to do one tonight or wait? What do you think?

What dpo are you Lucy?

Im not sure jaykay...AF due yesterday. Last cycle 28 days but I dont track ov:/

Can you show us the test Lucy? I'd test tomorrow with fmu, you don't want to waste one just in case it's still early days, but sounds extremely promising!!

Well ...... I was going to say test if your AF was due today or before today, or if you are dpo 13 or later.

It sounds like you meet both of my criteria.....so I say test now!
(Obviously my opinion is not based on any medical knowledge and is mainly influenced by the fact I would love you to get a BfP and move this October bus along at speed! )

Haha ladies oh god Im scared!!!! Havnt got the IC test choccy, I flushed it this morning after DH dismissed it, nows hes in london working and Im sat here wondering.....

I may wait until a bath later and hold my wee lol!! Will let you know later arghhhhhhh!!!!!

Well, I'm going to take off my sensible head in that case, f**k it, test now :)

Choccy you are a bad BAD influence ;) hehe

Ooh exciting Lucy, good luck!! I would do one now and one tomorrow!!

Sorry to lower the tone (and especially sorry to the lovely ladies who are about to test and could probably do without this - good luck!), but does anyone else find that progesterone (at least I assume that's what it is) makes them go to the loo more in general ie not just for a wee? I usually go a lot the day before my period starts, which I've read is because the uterus contracting affects/presses on the bowels, but this month I've been at it for three days now and AF is still 6 days away . Not diarrhoea or anything and I've had no dietary changes, so I'm a bit baffled!

Oooh lucy i am the queen of not testing but even i would be testing now if i were you!! Good luck and fingers crossed for you!!

raraz yes i think i know what you mean. I have 'issues' in that dept anyway but they are def. Affected by time of the month.....

Raraz - I definitely see a change. Sorry if TMI, but I normally "go" every other day. In the middle of the month (ish) and at the beginning of AF I usually have 2/3 days where I "go" sometimes three times a day.

I'm never sure what causes it. I think I crave more bad food around these pain times, so always put it down to that. But perhaps it is a hormone reaction.

No idea. But you're not alone!

Ok, thanks. I mean, honestly, the last three days I've been about 6 times a day, if not more! Like I say, it's not normal for me, especially not as this time of the month, so a little baffled - but glad it's not just me!

Oh wow, I had no idea other people had that too, I thought I was just weird! You learn a lot from this site don't you!

And Lucy, can you just hold your pee for a few hours and not drink too much, then when you go later it will be like fmu and you can test!

I get the poo thing too! I usually go every morning and it changes to about 4 or 5 times a day! Even dh comments on it lol!

So, am currently watching a recorded episode of midwives while ds is playing (never get to put the tv on and watch something for me, so he's being very good!) Anyway, I just asked him if he wanted mummy to have a baby like that and he just said plainly, simply and innocently, 'No.'

Hi Lucy (and everyone!) I'll hope on this bus as the Sept one is running out of petrol!! Very exciting! Fingers crossed!!!! I'm gonna wait til Thursday if AF not arrived (will be 17DPO then). She can come upto Day16. So I'm not really gonna take any symptoms seriously til then, as I'm sure my brain plays tricks on me... Then as soon as I start thinking I'm pg... AF strikes!

These threads are fab!! Talk about whatever you need to and find others are in the same boat! I also find the poop issue more frequent and quite a lot more unpleasant!

Is that the sept bus done now then?? How many bfps in total?

Really glad I asked now

19 on September bus (last one wasn't on list), we're so gonna beat that right ladies!

I wonder how many were on the thread in total- eg 19 out of 60-70 isn't bad! But 19/150 would be a bit depressing- I guess we won't know! As lots of bfns prob didn't post

RaRaZ me too, always thought it was just me!

lucyfluff I was reading through thread and was going to advise you to wait until FMU tomorrow morning, but now i know when your AF is due i've taken Choccy's approach and decided you should just not wee for a while and test today!! :) sounds promising, it would be fab if we had another BFP so soon. Plus you have a second test for tomorrow FMU.

Choccy great news on the positive OPK, go get that hubby of yours.

I had a positive OPK on Sunday morning and DTD then, also the couple of days previous so hoping the swimmers were queuing up when ov occurred. Had a day off yesterday and planning to give it one last bash literally tonight and then hope and cross everything it works.

Sounds like our BFPs would be due at a similar time choccy

And nulaloo I agree with JayKay, apply and then you can decide if you want it later. If you don't apply you'll never know.

I swear I've seen about 20 preggers people today, on the train, walking along the street, in my office, even in sandwich shop at lunch....I wonder how they all do it!

I'm such a saddo, but it's more interesting than work, I just found the September bus parts 2 and 3, the most I counted on any of the lists was 83 ladies in total, so 19 BFPs is a pretty good result. It's about 25% give or take, which kind of matches the chances of conceiving, isn't that a 1 in 4 chance assuming everything is 'normal' ??

Raraz, that used to be the only PMS symptom I would get, and it would usually be just the couple days before AF arrived, but last cycle I got it from about 8dpo, along with quite a bit of wind.. not pleasant. No diarrhea either, though. So, it can't actually have been because of the uterus contracting pre-AF..

Can I join the bus as a lurker please? If I can get to 5 Nov before I test, I'm sure I'll be a happier bunny than if I waste the last couple of internet cheapies...

Good luck everyone!

Wispaxmas Interesting. Wonder why? That's kinda what's happening with me: usually it's just the day before AF, but now I've had it for three days and I'm only 8dpo... Would love it to be an early pg symptom, but somehow I doubt it!
