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

Neurotic I have been reading up about no af but no BFP as I'm in the same boat (9 days late). There are a large number of women that don't show BFP until 2-4 wks late because there hormone levels are so low. Some even show negative when have blood test. They still go on to have healthy babies. I guess some of us just have to be patient (easy said than done) and know you are still in with a chance.

mama31 · 03/10/2013 08:56

Well I've decided to half my b6 dose to 25mg....just for piece of mind! Its an experiment really (which I am unhappy about) but I want to keep taking it but don't want to delay ovulation so will see what happens.....

Eugh!!!! Why is ttc so technical?!!!! (Yes I'm still grumpy with af :()

NeuroticSweetTalk · 03/10/2013 10:18

Thanks CrazyL I was trying not to read up about it all in case it was just disappointing. But that's interesting, I guess in the absence of AF I should just keep testing then :) saves me from trying not to drink to get concentrated pee for a test today aha. And thank god someone said it, I was worried if it was just the levels that wasn't high enough that it might affect the (possible) pregnancy. I've been trying not to get my hopes up and not to get my DP hopes up (also easier said than done) Thanks for your help, much appreciated :)

Choccywoccydodah · 03/10/2013 10:56

Lh that sounds very positive, by Saturday it should show on the CB. Even if they are 50, the IC are usually 10, and it doubles every day, so it would be at least 40 on Saturday, so it's got to be worth a try Smile. Good luck!!

Ovaries are fine today thank you Smile

I've decided I'm not going to symptom spot at all yeah right as I had every mo fo symptom under the sun last month and was so disappointed.

I will not test until 14dpo, I will not test til 14dpo, I will not test til 14dpo (if I get there)

Lililly · 03/10/2013 10:58

I didn't know how to get on the list, but hope I still count on the lucky bus. Just got a BFP for which, all going well, will be my 5th after a 10 year break. Have had full on symptoms for 2 weeks, tried to test early but nothing till today with clear blue which was probably the day I was due. looking forward to telling DH, will be his 1st, though he did guess a couple of days ago due to the tired/sick/tears.

Choccywoccydodah · 03/10/2013 11:00

Congratulations lillllly!!! This is such a lucky bus!!

RaRaZ · 03/10/2013 11:38

Wow, congratulations Lilly!!! Grin

PurpleGeekyGirl · 03/10/2013 11:56

Congrats to all the BFPs, can't believe how many there are so soon!

I'm going to take a break from MN for a bit. Am so fed up with how long this is taking that I'm feeling really blue tbh, and also v envious of all the BFPs Blush. Am not going to do anything other than dtd because we want to for a bit. Am sick of PIAC and living my life around 'what ifs' and cm checking. So time to step away. Good luck to everyone Thanks

mama31 · 03/10/2013 13:03

Awh purple! Good luck to you as well. I totally understand what you mean, it consumes you and I don't think that's healthy. I hope everything works out for you. Take care.

I am going to be chilled this cycle I am determined....coz last 3 I've been so obsessed and its not good for me! So my new calm approach is hopefully gona work!!

MrsB2013 · 03/10/2013 13:27

Hi one how are you? No real plan, just told DH we need to dtd at least 3 times a week for the whole month!

Congratulations Lililly

Purple hope you get your bfp soon, take care Flowers

SuzB83 · 03/10/2013 15:49

Hi ladies. Can someone take me off the list please? AF arrived on Sunday so think I'm off the bus. After my last 2 cycles being 40 and then 60 days I have no idea when I'll ovulate, I'm off on holiday next week without DH so I bet it's then! Going to give my body (and head) a month off from trying to see if my cycles regulate and then get back to it (hopefully) in Nov. Going to take a break from MN too. Purple I know how you feel, it's taking so long and I'm getting obsessive and getting myself down about it. Good luck everyone, FX for lots more BFPs! Thanks

englishteacher78 · 03/10/2013 18:04

Tired, over emotional, hungry then sick, sore boobs, weirdly recurring cm. Either this is it or this month's AF is going to be awful!
3 days until it's due - not going to test until I'm late. I've decided.

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 18:51

Purple and Suz - sorry to see you go but totally understand the need to try and cut off from it all, sometimes I wonder what is the right thing to do and whether this constant analysis is helping or hindering. I hope you find some peace with it all as it's not easy and only seems to get harder as the cycles go by. Good luck and keep in touch, i'm sure there's plenty on here who will like to know how you get on Smile

I'm ok ish Mrsb but have been better. Trying to do smep this month but can't shake this 'it's not going to work' feeling. Trying to think positive as know this negativity i'm feeling at the mo can't be helping but so easier said than done. Don't think the weathers & time of year is helping either, just want to curl up and hibernate!

mama31 · 03/10/2013 19:26

I hear ya onelife....I feel the same!!!! Hibernation sounds good to me.....

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 19:34

Yeah and wake up pregnant huh?! That'd be nice Smile

englishteacher78 · 03/10/2013 19:39

That would be much less stressful!

mama31 · 03/10/2013 19:41

Indeed....its as well I'm only on cd4, af has pretty much cleared off but still in shit form so not even considering starting smep til the wkend or after....just don't feel ready or positive for this next cycle...and that really isn't my usual self, normally I'm the queen of positivity but I really can't be arsed right now :/ hope my mood picks up soon! I'm sure it will but right now....happy to hibernate with onelife....zzzz...

onelifeonechance · 03/10/2013 19:44

Night night mama Smile

mama31 · 03/10/2013 19:47

Night onelife...zzzzzz

MrsB2013 · 03/10/2013 20:54

Wakey wakey onelife and mama I've got some Cake and Wine for you!

How is everyone? It's very quiet on here this evening!!

Missvaughan85 · 03/10/2013 20:59

Do you think it's this time of year mama?? I'm on cd4 too, af on its way out, but feeling low and miserable. Works not helping, we should be testing around the same time!! Let hope there bfp's!!!! Last month I had to ring clear blue as I had two LH surges, the women was little confused, so I've bought two boxes to test again, expensive but in worried something going on so just want to keep an eye out!!
Has anyone else has strange ovulation after coming off bc??? X x

CooCooCachoo · 03/10/2013 21:23

Congratulations to all BFPs, brilliant news!

First day of 2ww for me, trying not to get crazy symptom spotting this month, lots of chat and more BFPs to keep me distracted please!

ImaginaryHat · 03/10/2013 22:06

Been offline for a couple of days while af has her wicked way with me, and loads of bfp's happen, congratulations ladies! Flowers

funkymonk I was taking 100mg/day b6 for 2 full cycles, but after my last cycle with delayed ovulation and a long cycle I stopped taking it when af arrived. I decided on the same tactic as you, i.e. not to take anything other than conception vits (which has a small amount in) until after ov this cycle, then take it til af/bfp to see if that works for lp. I'm only gonna take 50mg rather than 100 though. Mama I feel like you that it's just an experiment really, just hoping to find the right balance.

purple I completely understand wanting to take a break, ttc so easily takes over our lives. I really hope you get your bfp soon.

Going away for a few days next week, only taking hand luggage and trying to decide whether I'm brave enough to take my preseed in my clear plastic bag for liquids at the airport! I'm such an easily embarrassed wimp!

Nulanoo · 03/10/2013 22:09

Hello everyone :)

Well I'm just getting a little bit optimistic again as after having the pink on my tissue yesterday morning my AF has not yet arrived. So I'm planning to piac Saturday morning unless she arrives on time!
