Ah sorry keepswimming sending a hug to you. I think it's likely I'll be seeing you on the November bus.....save me a seat just in case.

MrsB2013 · 10/10/2013 17:30

Oh no, sorry af got you keepswimming :(

allchatnicknamesgone · 10/10/2013 17:41

bummer keepswimming. really sorry.

jaykay987 · 10/10/2013 18:23

Boo Keepswimming. That's not fun Sad

My body is going crazy. I've been freezing all day (but am tight so refusing to put the heating on before it kicks in at its scheduled time later this evening).

My hands and body are freezing. My face is now a million degrees and I feel a sore throat coming.

Im doubtful these are symptoms (it's far too early) and instead are some vile commuting disease! (The best germs seem to travel on London public transport!) urgh!

So sorry keepswimming :(

No I'm mega confused. I've had no spotting all day, just wiped and nothing, so I put my finger up my fanjo with some loo roll and there was dark pink/very light red. That was about 5.15pm. I've just been again and nothing Hmm going to test Saturday if af not here by then as that's when I am due going off last month. I would've had had loads of brown by now though overnight last night going off last month and I was really crampy for about 3 days. I've had nothing, no symptoms, nada. Come on Saturday!

OP posts:
MundayCakes85 · 10/10/2013 18:33

Really sorry keepswimming- good luck on the November bus.
Congratulations to all the new BFPs.
11dpo today, my temp dropped loads today so think I'll be expecting AF. Will stay positive though, temps aren't too accurate due to working shifts so FX it doesn't mean anything. Only other symptom (in my head) is not quite cramps but am aware of my belly area.
Hope everyone's wrapped up warm on the bus- I have tea to keep me going!

MundayCakes85 · 10/10/2013 18:34

Oh and my cat snuggled on my lap- my very own personal heater!

lucyfluff · 10/10/2013 18:45

Quote of the evening : choccy - I put my finger up my fanjo!!!

I LOVE what gets said on here. Its like a girls night in with loads of wine but your all virtual lol!!!

Keeps me smiling Grin Grin

How you feeling?

OP posts:
lucyfluff · 10/10/2013 19:02

Grin not too bad thanks choccy. Not really looking forward to poas tmrw morning obviously but got to be done.

I have a bit of a feeling Il be rejoining this bus. Im not as teary as I was though which is good, poor DH has had to put ip with my dodgy hormones!!!

Missvaughan85 · 10/10/2013 19:11

Fingers crossed for you choccy!!! And for you to Lucy!!!
Figure out bfp due 27th so I am on this bus, just about. After being snubbed last night, hubby is not getting off lightly tonight!!! I was wanting to do it every other so hoping I've not missed an opportunity, cb opk still on flashing smile so hopeful!! Uti has calmed down, no blood in urine anymore and a lot less painful when peeing!!!

mrswalsh77 · 10/10/2013 19:26

Evening ladies! How are we all this lovely Thursday?!
I'm now 14dpo, AF 1 day late but very crampy tummy today. BFN yesterday and get the feeling I'll soon be catching the November bus!
Sitting in hospital at the minute visiting my wee mum and she is fast asleep!
Had a good chuckle at the dunking penis thread - do you think it is for real?!! My husband tried to convince me he would cause a tidal wave if he dunked his..... More of a mild ripple was my reply! Grin X

Choccywoccydodah · 10/10/2013 19:58

Lol mrswalshGrin

God I'm so sick of knicker checking!!

OP posts:
ThisIsMeNow · 10/10/2013 20:11

Ok, can someone please talk some sense into me?!
Felt so sick this afternoon/early evening. All of a sudden it came over me like car sickness then I felt awful until I ate.
It's too early!!! It can't possibly be a symptom. I'm not due af till 18th! (I think) So I'm obviously losing the plot Hmm. Can these things be psychosomatic? Am I making myself feel sick because I want a Bfp?
Of course I've poa cheapie Internet stick and I'm now convincing myself the evap line I can see might be a positive ConfusedSad aargh!!

Hate this.

MrsDinoRawr · 10/10/2013 20:24

Sorry to hear that AF has arrived for some. I truly believe things happen for a reason. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all that the November is your lucky bus.

Someone asked for dtd details and dpo symptoms so here goes:
It was our 3rd cycle this time and husband was on a 3 day training
course smack bang during ovulation time so I think we both thought it wasn't going to happen this month. So perhaps we were more relaxed.

AF started on 11th Sept.
Was really really light by 15th (sorry tmi...) like only a drop on paper when I wiped. I usually last for 6 days.

I bought clear blue opk for the first time. They said to start using on CD11.
We dtd on the 15th (CD5) and 16th (CD6) and then stepped it up when I started using opks even though they were negative.
Dtd on 22nd (CD12) 23rd (CD13) and 24th (CD14). Then my husband was away for 2 nights. Got smiley face on 27th (CD17) which was the day he was due home (also had ewcm) .Literally jumped on him as he walked though the door. Went out for a lovely meal as it was 3months since we got married then dtd again once we got home.I was certain we wouldn't get bfp this month as everything I read said should dtd before you get smiley face. Tried to dtd Sat morning 28th (CD18) but DH doesn't perform well in the morning. I was convinced we had missed ovulation. Didn't dtd again for a week or so.

Tried not to symptom spot during the tww which was really hard.
But this is what I noticed - prob all progesterone!
I always have had 1-2 bowel movements every day but I was going every time I went to the toilet! Sometimes 4-5 times a day! Boobs were a bit tender but not particularly sore. Asked DH if they had more veins showing he said no- but has since said they had but didn't want me to get my hopes up. Nipples seemed to be hard a lot. My bras also all seemed to small- thought it was just because I have eaten loads since the wedding and might still be the reason! I had a few cramps. Last few days have felt like AF cramps but I never get these until the day my AF start. Also have had yellow cm - usually get none in the days leading up to AF. Biggest thing I am going to claim was pregnancy symptom (even if it wasnt!) were the mood swings I have been having. The poor 5-6 years olds that I teach had a hard time one day and I did find myself apologising to a few people for being so snappy and grumpy!! Oh I also got really hot- felt like I was on fire on the inside of mybody but I was cold to touch. Also my legs/shins were really really itchy. Oh and last weekend we went to a wedding and I slept all the way there and back for a few hours. Have been going to bed early each night as I am so tired!
I didn't feel like anything was definately a pregnancy symptom and still don't quite believe that I am pregnant!!

Hope all of that helps some people. Good luck to you all xx

Dev0nDiva · 10/10/2013 21:30

Fruit, ha ha, I'm with you on the excessive cm. also hand a 0.5 deg temp drop today (7dpo) hoping temps back up high tomorrow and could be implantation dip, otherwise could be bad sign.

help also needed as going out at the weekend..... Answers on a postcard for innovative reasons you are not drinking!?

Missvaughan85 · 10/10/2013 21:32

Dino, all great info, especially dtd info, I'm going to try dtd every other day until a week after solid smile as I don't think bc digital opk's really pick up on my actual surge. All your info is scary, k

Missvaughan85 · 10/10/2013 21:34

Sorry it posted before I'd finished, was just about to say its scary as we're in cycle 3 and got married four months ago, but the weight I've put on after the wedding is just chubbieness!!! Don't have a dress to fit into so making the most if it!! lol congrats by the way x x

mama31 · 10/10/2013 22:20

Hello ladies!! :)

Sorry to hear af got you keepswimming! I really hope Nov bus is the one for you....hugs!!!

Lucyfluff my lovely, I'm so hoping for good news for you tomorrow...look after yourself and make sure DH is onhand for a cuddle whatever the outcome! hugs!!! Xo

Well DH is away on nightshirt so definitely glad we Dtd at lunch....no opportunity tomorrow so will skip a day and do sat/sun for fun I think but I reckon I ovulated today as had a few twinges on my right side this evening. so I'm sure sat/sun would be too late for babymaking purposes! Oh well start 2ww tomorrow......eugh....i hate it.....prepare for complete psychotic symptom spotting and obsessive, compulsive behaviour...I can't even help myself! so I just have to embrace it!!!

MrsB2013 · 10/10/2013 22:32

Dino thanks for the info! How scary your dtd info is so similar to mine, hope I get a bfp too! DH and I have dtd on CD 5,6,12,13,14 and 16. Im on CD 17 today. I used the cb opks for the first time, had an empty face on CD 8,9,10 then flashing on 11,12,13 and fixed 14 and 15!

MissV I got married in June and have also put on some weight oops lol

MrsB2013 · 10/10/2013 22:51

mama fx you get your bfp! What date is it due?

mama31 · 10/10/2013 22:59

Thanks mrsb!! 25th october (going by last cycle of 26days) I seem to have ovulated earlier tho so could be a 23 day cycle :/ hope not!!!! Upping b6 from 25mg to 50mg from tomorrow!!

How you doing mrsb??

MrsB2013 · 10/10/2013 23:13

I'm good thanks mama, glad we got some dtd in when we did, DH has another cold :( I'm feeling really positive, hoping it's 3rd cycle lucky! Think af/bfp is due on the 21st if I have another 28 day cycle.
