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

Hi mama I do have b6 in my supplements and have taken pregnacy supplements for a few years now. I'm taking centrum one at the moment which are 114%rda.

I had never heard of b6 effects until I think it was purple who mentioned it a couple if days ago. I had a quick google and saw that the pregnacare ones had 700% rda. I have had these in the past (I tend to buy my vitamins on special offer so I do change brands!)

My cycle is long 31-35 days with a longish lp, but I'm happy with that and it was like that when we conceived ds which we did in the first cycle of tcc.

Maybe the b6 has been affecting my cycle for years now!

I was just making a suggestion of what I would do if I was to become worried about it in the future.

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

I'm another one going crazy in the 2ww, having phantom symptoms already. Convinced I can feel slight cramps just like I had before early in my last pregnancy. Obviously all in my head as far to early, only 3DPO!

MundayCakes85 · 02/10/2013 23:04

Hey ronty I'm 3dpo as well, no symptoms here though. Off to Barcelona tomorrow, will be 7dpo when I get back so hopefully I'll have something to report by then.
My advice to anyone tempted to POAS early is be strong. Personally I'd prefer AF to turn up then have the disappointment of BFN. Good luck

sebsmummy1 · 03/10/2013 05:26

I have a crazy amount if symptoms now, I really think its my month! My nipples are tingling like mad, I have a metallic taste in my mouth and my cervix is still high and soft. I don't have any tests annoyingly although there is a chance my Internet order of ultra early a could arrive today.

englishteacher78 · 03/10/2013 05:53

A few days left until POAS here. I have never been so exhausted and my boobs have never been so tender - but of course this could just mean I have a really bad AF on the way.

lucyfluff · 03/10/2013 06:53

Thats ok raraz! Will post them off today :) and be checking in for results.

Good luck to any other poas'ers this week :)

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 07:11

Good lord, how did I miss all of yesterdays fun? Congrats to all the BFPs, great start to the bus, long may it continue Smile

Notta I have a 25 day cycle and according to cb opks last month I ov cd12/13, using cb monitor this month pulling out the big guns so will let you know. And ha! yes I remember So Solid Crew, will have to adopt it as our team ttc anthem. I got 16 days to go..... Grin

Milk i'm sorry you're feeling a bit down, i'm feeling bit dispondant too this cycle, really trying to think positive but just feel as though it's not going to work and we're going to be at this a while which makes me sad. But you've got to be in it to win it so will plough on. Sending you hugs and a biccy to go with your Brew

NeuroticSweetTalk · 03/10/2013 07:16

Now 5 days late and BFN on a FRER this morning (not using FMU though) any ideas what else it could be?

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 07:17

Oh and thanks choccy for my extra helping of baby dust, if it works it will be the best prize ever!

Good luck with the dtdeeding mrsb do you have a game plan or just doing as much as poss??

IBelieveInEngels · 03/10/2013 07:24

Me too clever. Tested sat and got BFN and then Tuesday (one day after AF due) and got the very faint BFP.

Still no sign of AF, still feeling nauseous, but also very aware that AF was 3-4 days late last month so could still show up tomorrow.

But I can't slow it down in my head (even though I know things could quite easily go tits up at this point - had a mc at 5w+3 when trying for DC1). In my mind I'm already planning maternity leave and wondering if I have enough maternity clothes (and if there will be any occasions in April/May that I can wear my wedding dress to as got married when I was 7mo pg last time!).

DH is having a shit time at work and am basically having deja vu - his depression coincided with my first pregnancy and, well, the 2 years since DS was born. Last time I felt so resentful that he couldn't 'look after' me when I was pg and the way things are going right now, looks like it will be the same Sad he ended up signed off during a large period of my ml and I really felt angry with him.

He's been doing so well thisa year and the last few months have just been shit. I just want him to be better. We discussed me taking on more hours at work so that he could be sahp (I work 3 days, he works 4 atm), but he doesn't want to, though that is chaning with how shit his work are being right now. I earn more than him so it would make financial sense, though I still can't quite imagine having to work 5 days a week again! We could definitely survive on one salary, but not sure about my sanity as a full time teacher or his as a full time sahp! (though maybe a lot of diy would get done!)

But even that can't keep me Sad right now as long as this sticks Grin

Sorry for essay. Just having some quiet time before the bell goes and the hormonal teenagers pour in and my mind is going haywire. Finding it so difficult to think about anything else Smile

Good luck to anyone poas today.

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 07:36

Poor you, ibelieve. It does put a lot of pressure on you, but I suppose it's in your advantage to have him in good health in order to support you. It sounds like you are looking at the positives though, good luck with everything.

Choccy, how are your ovaries today?

Sounds like lots of people are convinced it's their month, good luck to you all, who's testing next?

JellyBeanDavey · 03/10/2013 07:38

Morning ladies!!

Congrats to all the bfps Smile

Cd6 and I got my first test time on my cbfm and it's already said high fertility so I'm going to pee on a ic opk (that never usually work for me). Technically for my this could be my first REAL cycle since having my pill-boaster. So we will wait and see. I'm not entirely sure if AF has finished. She was around yesterday, but I usually get that annoying time at the end when she doesn't show for a day and the I get a little spotting for another day. Oh well, Fx!

LH1981 · 03/10/2013 07:56

MrsWalsh, those are the same symptoms as me - including the wind! And I asked my sister (who's based in Oz and 12 weeks pregnant) how she knew and she said the wind thing too.

Well, did a cheapie with FMU at 3am this morning as couldn't sleep (and didn't get back to sleep until 6am!) Sad
BUT, there is definitely a shadow line this morning - and this test is less sensitive than the FR one I used yesterday.

My question is - if I do my LAST CB digi on Saturday morning, do you think it will pick it up if I am pregnant? DH is due back from a work trip on Saturday afternoon, so it would be so great to be able to show him a positive in black and white when he gets home! xx

JellyBeanDavey · 03/10/2013 08:00

LH - congrats Smile

I would hang on until at least tomorrow to do a cb,maybe do another cheapie or something. Fx

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 08:01

How many dpo will you be on Saturday lh? I know they are less sensitive, but I know hcg goes up every couple of days so hopefully it would work on Sat.

jaykay987 · 03/10/2013 08:15

sounds promising LH. By Saturday it should show. But maybe piac and do an ic first. If that's positive then do a cb digi with the same fmu.

I've no idea where I am in my cycle. It's now 5days since my fixed smiley - but still no temp rise so I am assuming I haven't populated yet. OPKs have not gone positive again yet. So until I see any signs to say otherwise, I'm assuming I'll populate soon. So will continue to dtd as regularly as work will allow. We''ve got a long weekend away this weekend, so hopefully that'll be useful.
I almost projectile vomited on the train this morning! No idea what that's about - it made me wake up very fast! Smile I then spent the next 20mins breathing heavily to try and ensure I didn't throw up! I'm pretty sure I haven't misread my cycle - so there no ttc reason to feel ill!

Bizarre.

I am impressed at the success rate of this bus. I'm hoping we break all previous bfp records! FX!

GinandStripes · 03/10/2013 08:16

This could be pmt, which makes me sad but my bestie just said she felt she had pmt last month but then got her BFP...

Need to distract myself, I tried wine last night but that's just given me a headache!

jaykay987 · 03/10/2013 08:16

ovulated. not populated. stupid phone!

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 08:20

Ha populated! Hopefully prophetic!

jaykay987 · 03/10/2013 08:23

Perhaps it's a sign.....! Smile

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 08:33

Funkymonk: I'll be 11dpo tomorrow. What do you think???

I've just checked my CM and got a little bit of pink-tinged creamy stuff from right at my cervix (sorry to put anyone off their breakfast! Hmm ) - hoping that might be implantation rather than AF starting early again...

sebsmummy1 · 03/10/2013 08:33

Argh I am now sitting here talking myself out of all the preggo symptoms I had a few hours ago. Roll on postman arriving with (hopefully) more pee sticks Grin

LH I think Clearblue are pretty sensitive, it gives the likelyhood percentage wise of giving an accurate result on the packet. I know it really jumps once you get to the days just before AF day and AF day itself. If you were going to try it four days early I would be prepared for a possible false negative.

GillyBillyWilly · 03/10/2013 08:34

Poking my head in to say congratulations to all of you with BFPs!!!!! SmileThanks

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 08:35

Lucy: Thankyou very much. Hoping they show me what I want to see!

charleslingus · 03/10/2013 08:41

So 3 months of every symptom under the sun and not being pg I'm now failing to find one single one at 9 dpo.

This is obviously a symptom right.

Anyway, been reading up and because of the crazy amounts of progesterone produced after ov it seems we are destined to be tortured with pg symptoms whether we've conceived or not. And true pg symptoms don't normally materialise till a few weeks in. For me it seems to be the 8 week Mark when it all kicks off so I know I'm wasting my time desperately symptom spotting.
Doesn't stop me though Grin
