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

Milk no sugar I'm the same. Keeping it to ourselves as coming off implant seems to correlate with MC and I'd hate for anyone else to know if I MC.

Let's keeping using this as our outlay. I know it won't be long. I've got a feeling before Christmas which would be great BUT that means summer- ish babies and trust me that makes a massive difference at school :-(. Bless the little summer babies. Not the most intelligent bit seem to be the nicest, happy go lucky and creative x

I no longer qualify for the September bus, the witch strikes! may I please join?

CooCooCachoo ttc#2 cycle 3 bfp due 16 October

Feeling quite silly, was convinced I was preggers. Oh well, back to it!

newforest · 19/09/2013 21:29

Looks like the bus is picking up pace! I'm not confident of my chances this month, as we haven't been able to start trying until tomorrow (cycle day 12)due to feeling really under the weather. I seem to ovulate variably between days 12 to 16 so I'm hoping, but am also quietly unconfident.

rockstars12 · 19/09/2013 21:52

Time to join the October bus, September AF came early, but better early if it wasn't meant to be this month. Been generally ill anyway for last 2 weeks, asthma, virus, poorly tummy, a urinary tract infection.. too much! Anyone else suffered from UTI's? I read they can be quite common whilst ttc and PG.

Rockstars12 ttc#1 cycle 2 BFP due 11th Oct

CooCooCachoo · 19/09/2013 21:56

Yes rockstars, uti post ov, very unpleasant. I try to go to the loo as advised after dtd but while trying not to let anything else slip out. Sorry if - tmi.

Morning everyone,

I get to POAS today! Well, an OPK, but it's my first time trying them, and I'm excited! It's the little things...!

charleslingus · 20/09/2013 09:46

Ahhh, let us know how it goes owlie,

Love a live poas. Have you done it yet?
Best of luck!

SoMuchFruit · 20/09/2013 10:33

Good luck Owlie!

CD10 here in the Fruitbowl. Have been sticking to the plan to DTD every other day - it's been fun Grin, keeping it lighthearted with frisky texts during the daytime. DS is currently sleeping very well too and not appearing in our bed at 4.30am which is great and am hoping is an omen.

TMI question again (sorry) ; DH has a lot of manjuice, product, stuff no idea what the most acceptable term is on MN but you get the idea I am sure. Anyway, after DTD there is leakage. What does everyone else do about this ? Or am I concerning myself with nothing here.

I haven't been doing handstands but I usually sleep like the dead until the morning lie down for a min of 30mins afterwards.

Owlie84 · 20/09/2013 10:48

thank you! I'm going to do it after work, so I'll let you know the outcome!

SoMuchFruit I have that too, we usually put a towel down, and I lie there for about 20 mins after DTD. Why does it have to be so messy!

SoMuchFruit · 20/09/2013 10:54

That's very organised Owlie .. I usually just shuffle back over to my warm and dry side of the bed afterwards Grin however this does taker a little bit of limbo to ensure the wet spot is not in my territory. I claim there is a dodgy pokey spring over there..

Do you worry about loosing too much with the leakage ? (Or am I insane)

Owlie84 · 20/09/2013 10:59

Haha!! Good shout! It's his stuff afterall! Wink
But yes, I did worry about losing too much, but I have read that what needs to stay, travels to the right place, and the waste product is what is left behind. I think that's right anyway! So I'm trying not to worry, and as long as you lie there for a bit, it should be fine.

SoMuchFruit · 20/09/2013 12:32

I thought I was a bit mad worrying about it. Wasn't sure if I should have been doing something to stop it (handstands ? Somekind of plug?)

This is only cycle 3 and I am worrying about all sorts of random stuff.

What/where did you read about it ?

Owlie84 · 20/09/2013 13:29

I think I read it on one of the older conception bus threads. I've learnt so much from everyone on here! Smile

Springtime26 · 20/09/2013 14:58

hello can I join the bus.
ttc2 cycle 4 bfp 13th October.
just a quick question. I was going to use opk this month.I have decided I want to use a digital as not verygood at interpreting lines. would u use the clear blue advance or normal one? shouldI buy 10 sticks or the 20? I tendto have standard 28 day cycle. besidethe odd month where I have had 34 day.
many thanks

jaykay987 · 20/09/2013 17:36

Springtime - Ive only used the advanced. I know lots of people dont like that you sometimes get more than two days high readings (flashing smileys). I like that you get lots of warning sometimes. So deepening how you feel will impact which type you prefer.

In terms of numbers.....it all depends when you ovulate. Th first month I used them I only used 4, as I ovulated quite early. However last month I used 14 as I ovulated late.

There are expensive, but I prefer. To buy the box of 20. Each test is much cheaper. Plus, I don't think Ill be annoyed if my BFP arrives, and I aren't used all the tests!

I've just bought a new box....Im hoping Sod's law will kick in and I won't use many as Ill be getting my BfP this month! Grin

GnomieGrace · 21/09/2013 09:48

Hi everyone, Can I jump on the October Bus? TTC#1 cycle4 BFP due October 19th. Struggling with cycles following years on the pill.

jessieagain · 21/09/2013 10:28

Hi everyone, I'm keen to join you all, but I'm still waiting to officially be kicked off the September bus and get my bfp date!!

Feeling very optimistic #2 ttc cycle. And I think October may be my lucky month as it is when we conceived our ds 3 years ago.

VickyVix · 21/09/2013 10:31

Hi all, can I join this bus please? Grabbing front seat upstairs if it's still free.

Am on mobile so would anyone mind adding me to the list please?

Age 31. ttc #1 cycle 2 BFP due circa 12th Oct

Best of luck to everyone, fingers crossed this is a lucky bus!

VJONES1985 · 21/09/2013 15:29

I'm boarding the bus while sobbing over af arriving a week early again.

VJONES1985 ttc#1 cycle3 bfp due ?

CooCooCachoo · 21/09/2013 22:11

Sorry to hear that VJones, I was surprised at how sad I was to get af this month even though only going into 3rd cycle.

How do you keep it upbeat when you've done all the counting and dtd on recommended days? I am now impatiently waiting for af to finish up to get going again.

Anyone using preseed type stuff or opks on cycle 3? I'd like to but don't want To put any pressure on DH by suggesting that we might need a bit of extra help....

My DM told me yesterday that it took her 3 years to conceive my older sister, I had no idea! my DS was conceived on 2cycle but can't elp b g a bit worried....probably not helping.

jaykay987 · 22/09/2013 11:07

Morning everyone. The bus is starting to fill up now - not long to go until October!

Any early testers symptom spotting already? Any of you tempted to test in September?

AF has gone now (cd7 today). I've now got the long wait through until ovulation. I hate this wait - I think it's harder than the 2ww! I have almost two weeks before I ovulate. I think it's harder as it feels unfair, as those with normal cycles don't have this punishment (!) plus there's no symptoms to spot! I spend it stressing about trying to guess when I might ovulate, and then trying to work back whether we'll be able to dtd at the right time! Week days are out for us (unless I really pursue) as is dtd two days on the trot. It's a minefield trying to work out the best approach.
I hate this bit of the month! Did I say that already?!

VJONES1985 · 22/09/2013 13:44

Hi jaykay. I'm on cd2 and have about 16 days to go until I ov so I feel your pain. I think aiming for pg this cycle will be a bit optimistic so am just hoping my luteal phase gets longer.
