Looks like LH and SMF are testing together then having egged each other on? ha! love it! FX for you ladies.....keep us posted! x Xmas Grin

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 11:29

Haha, tomorrow for me then - need those Superdrug tests (because I'm tight and already spent a fortune the last week on stupid tests!!) Xmas Blush

Congrats to all the BFPs - can't believe how lucky this bus is!!

Forgot how addictive POAS can be. Having been POAS on
OPK tests since Sunday but still no smiley face and now on cd13. I normally run on a 28 day cycle so expected something by today.

Just had my pack of 30 Internet cheapies arrive for later in the month - have to be prepared!! Xmas Grin

Hi again ladies, been lurking since the beginning but to honest have had every single sign I was going to come on this month that I haven't posted at all. Did a test this morning as my DH made me and got a BFP!!!!!! I genuinely can't believe it. Congratulations to everyone who already has BFP and everything crossed for everyone else x

Feelingfatty · 11/12/2013 12:27

Congrats I'mnotaflower :) definitely sometimes the month that you don't think it'll happen it seems to!!

ImNotAFlower · 11/12/2013 12:33

I just can't believe it I was so sure I had even arranged a boozy New Year's Eve Blush now I've got to work out how to wriggle out of it!

mssleepyhead · 11/12/2013 12:38

So many BFPs! It's making me desperate for it to be my turn, but I don't think it's happening... Yesterday's strange abdomen feelings have disappeared and now I just feel c

mssleepyhead · 11/12/2013 12:39

Completely normal. AF due some time in the next few days. Boo!

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 12:40

Imnotaflower! Congrats - such great news! Now, if you've been lurking you do know I, along with many other ladies love a good detail so please do spill if you can!

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 12:41

hang on in there mssleepy - it is early days for you cycle wise and also as you know, you're still not out yet - af might not show! keep those fx!

laravh · 11/12/2013 12:47

Congratulations imnotaflower another lovely bfp to add to the list!
sazzle you're right, its nice being able to come on here and vent about things, i know if i told my friends in RL what was going on in my head they'd think I'd lost the plot!
Mssleepy I know how you feel, but it'll happen eventually. Just stay positive! One of my RL friends has just told me she's pregnant and although i'm soooo happy for her, there was a small part that thought 'why's it not me'. But i know it'll happen, it's just not happening as quick as i'd like.

lucyfluff · 11/12/2013 12:52

Hey ladies and thankyou for the well wishes so here goes....

The lady scanned externally and couldnt see much so internal one after, firstly she pointed out I have a tilted womb?! apparantly not bad. Checked ovaries/tubes and no obvious problems. Im rabbiting on about how I felt ovulation on the painful side blah blah and she says 'actually no you didnt ov that side and Il show you why in a min'. Turns the screen and shows what looks like a sac....she then says 'Im NOT def saying you are pregnant as its so early but there is a little dot there (poinys to teeny area in sac)...and it COULD be a baby or it could just be fluid.

By this point im on elbows sat up mouth open.....so advice is wait a few days and test. No problems down below Grin and a possible bfp!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im slightly scared as no symptoms and still have side pain which she thinks may be muscular. Anyway sorry for rambling feel a bit wierd aftwr this morning...like excited but dont want to be you know??

Ps hi mama...congrats choccy and smf/lh get testing !!!!!! x

KitKat1985 · 11/12/2013 13:02

Wow. So many BFPs! Congrats to everyone! What a lucky festive bus!

I got another BFN this morning on CD35 (counting from the day of my first 'post-pill' bleed). Sad Think I just have to accept now that I'm not and wait around for AF to turn up. Kind of wish she would now actually - the niggling doubt on being late but getting BFNs is driving me mad. At least when AF eventually comes I can stop the wondering and just focus on cycle 2.

Out of interest, how long did it take for other people to get their first 'proper' period after coming off the pill if you don't mind me asking? Just wondering now how long a wait I'm likely to be in for?

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 13:08

Lucy...wow exciting, interesting and frustrating! So what cd are you? Or how many days past ov do you think you are? These next few days before you can test are going to feel sooooo long!
Remind me, did you have the test because of ovary type pain post mc? So sorry, with all the bus news I can't remember!

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 13:10

OMG Lucy!!!!! How exciting!! Keeping everything crossed for you that you are pregnant. How many dpo are you?

mama31 · 11/12/2013 13:10

Lucy wow!!!!! I so hope it's a little sticky bean in there!!!! Brilliant! :)

LH and SMF very excited for you both testing!!!! So hoping it's BFP's all round!!!! Can't wait to hear lovelies! Good luck!! X

Sazzle hello lovely lady! I hope you are well! I am super chilled out...hard to believe I know! but I've been so busy this month and it's totally helped distract me from it all :) just waiting on af arrival at the wkend as spotting not started yet and usually have 3 or 4 days of that before full flow (I know you love the tmi haha!) so on total crotch watch waiting for the spotting to start!!! But not as bad as usual....i am remaining calm and relaxed!

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 13:12

Imnotaflower.....Congratulations to you Grin please share your details with us!

lucyfluff · 11/12/2013 13:14

I know sazzle!! Yes after mc started getting side pain on/off. Oddly it disappeared after AF for three wks but came back this week...no problems though so now im thinking tummy?! just wish it would bugger off its annoying stitch pain lol.

CD 27 here.....may test friday but its the 13th I realized lol Smile

lucyfluff · 11/12/2013 13:16

Mama...where have you hidden crazy mama??!! lol only kidding glad your calm and feeling relaxed. No spotting is a good sign. Please please please let it be our month Grin Grin

babyspice2501 · 11/12/2013 13:17

lucyfluff! Seeee! What did I say??.. a big fat free preggers test! Thats what I said! Lol! Good luck for your real poas in a few days! Soooo hope this is the month for you! If it is then that little sack inside of you is a proper xmas sack with a proper xmas pressie inside!! :)

laravh · 11/12/2013 13:21

lucy my friend just had the exact same, although not post mc. Had on/off pain in ovary area, went for scan, no issues but a bfp! Hope it is a bfp for you and its a sticky one! Good luck

akachan · 11/12/2013 13:43

I love this bus - everytime I check in there's more great news!

I am now 10 DPO, trying not to POAS until the 20th. Pretty sure it'll be a no, I have zero symptoms but nevermind. I figure at least I can drink over christmas!

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 13:47

Akachan.....at 10dpo I got a bfp!! I would be poas from todayGrin

I agree, I love this bus. Everyone here is so lovely.....I really wish we could all get our bfp's together and be on the 'due' bus together......feeling that I'll be on the January bus with no-one I know!!

akachan · 11/12/2013 13:53

Maybe I'll try at the weekend! I just think once I start it'll be twice a day until AF! But that's ok I suppose....
