All aboard the love bus! Get your ticket for a February BFP!!

[KittyVonCatsington]

We're are getting dangerously close to 1000 posts on the other bus so thought I would start another one. Will update stats in another post. Fingers Crossed for lots more BFPs

Kate I have slightly tender bbs and I'm starving! Hoping it's no pms symptoms but who knows....it likely is!

Kate my cramps have eased off a lot, still got a dull ache occasionally but mainly just a cramp in my right side when I pee. I'm peeing lots today too.

Boobs are no sorer than normal, the tingling in nipples has gone, bit of nausea but that's not unusual for me.

I'm excited but trying not to get hopes up yet!

Yours sounds a lot more hopeful than mine (mainly because still convinced we didn't dtd at the right time). No tingly nips either. Can't believe you can hold off testing until the weekend Hazel I envy your willpower!

mama when is BFP/af due again?

Come on girls, we need to finish the bus on a high! Fx

Kate, I bet I cave before the weekend!

I have everything crossed for you Kate!

Good luck too mama!

kitty - so sad to see your news this morning, I hope you are and managing at work - make sure you take some time off if you feel like you need it x x

MrsExtra - DH did play Rugby but then had a shoulder injury so just plays football and cricket these days. It was decided at 20 weeks I'd have a c-sec because of my health conditions but Thank god that decision was made as I'm not sure I'd be able to push him out anyway

Writer I too would be going with the sun roof suggestion! 100 centile indeed! Wow wee, he's a big boy! Have you got a date? How are your bloods doing? X

My ELCS is booked for the 24th March but my Midwife is convinced I'm going to go into natural labour earlier because of how big he is - there's just no more room for him

My iron levels were re-checked and have come up from 9 to 10.7 so my Midwife is happier although they are still low. My reading at my 12 week bloods were 11.3 so ideally they want me back at the level so they've increased my dose of Iron Tablets. I bought some more Spatone but wrongly ordered the plain flavour as opposed to the Apple flavour and they are just vile!!!! Apparently my platelets are a little low and my white blood count is a bit high (both probably because of how run down I'm feeling) so have got to have more bloods next week to re-check everything again.

I'm just surprised at how knackered I am - over the last 7-10 days I have really gone downhill. I just have no energy, I'm constantly breathless, keep getting colds and nasty coughs and can't stop sleeping. I woke up at 08.00am this morning (after 9 hours sleep) and then within two hours of being up I felt exhausted again and had to go back to bed, where I slept for another 3 hours. I think my already dodgy heart is just struggling to cope with all the extra weight and fluid and my body is saying no!!! When I see my Consultant tomorrow I'm going to see if they can bring my CS forward by a week as I'm really starting to struggle now.

Oh Lordy winter, that's all a bit pants! Honestly resting is the best thing for you. Don't worry that you're always sleeping, resting really is the best thing. Floradix is another good tonic if you can't get hold of spa tone. I agree I can only tolerate the apple flavour too . Make sure your eating little and often to keep your strength up. I always found raisins a good sugar kick, which also counteracted the effects if the iron.

It's not too long now at least. So counting the days 26 at worst! If you go into labour naturally will they whisk you into theatre or see how you go?

They will whisk me in as an emergency C-section and I definitely don't want that - I want it all to be as peaceful and serene as possible It helps that you said at worst it is only 26 days, that's nothing in the grand scheme of things is it really

Hi ladies hope you are all ok and enduring the last few days of feb! We need some bfp's to end the bus on a happy note.

It's hard to say when af is due, my last cycle was 26 days and that's been my longest cycle, they usually range between 23 and 25 days. However I am taking vitex this month and it apparently can lengthen short cycles so I may get a 28 day cycle for the first time ever! I'm on cd23 today, spotting has completely stopped, just have some wet cm now. No twinges or cramps at all. No pre af zits like usual, but could also be down to the vitex. I do have very slight sore bbs which is completely normal pre af for me (they would usually be a bit more achy but may get so in the next couple days). The only thing I've really noticed is being hungry (pms?) and today seemed to have a lot of saliva in my mouth, don't even know what that's about.

I've just had a huge dinner and my mouth is watery as if I'm hungry....bizarre! I'm sure it's my body/mind playing it's usual tricks on me.

Writer not long now!!! So exciting! Glad you get to meet your little man soon x

Evening all!
What a shit day ive had but came home to my frer's from amazon! Wont have time tomorrow morning to test so either friday or Saturday!

I'm out!! Spots of blood when I wiped tonight. Kind of nice knowing firmly that I'm not pg and that I can now move on. Took drugs as soon as I saw the blood as the cramping has been awful!! Here's to next month and dec baby!

Hey all! Only two more days on the bus, still a day of hoping!! Have an inspection on Monday so should at least keep me busy over the weekend if AF hasn't come!
I've already looked at my dates for next month and what would be my due date if I was to get pregnant ... is that strange??

Oh no emily so sorry! Good luck on the March bus and I'm sure I'll see you over there as feel like I'm going to get af any second.

Turns out tesco hide pregnancy tests under the desk of their pharmacist. I was all embarrassed when asking for some frers!

mama do you feel sick? When I feel sick I get wet-mouth. Is it like that?

I have a bottle of prosecco in the fridge with my name on. Would it be wrong?

Not at all littlemisssunshine I am always looking ahead and planning dates :)

Thanks Kate mmmm prosecco my favorite! Good luck hope u get your bfp x

Snap Kate! I have a bottle of prosecco in the fridge and have been eyeing it up! also DH got some good news re work today so I got it for him, he's on his way home and if he decides to open it not sure I could resist!

Kate in answer to your question (sorry got distracted with the prosecco chat) no I don't feel sick at all, but it is very similar to when your mouth fills with water when you do feel sick....but there's no sickness....just hunger and pure greed! it's like it watering for more food, even after I have just finished a huge dinner and wedge of cheesecake!

Ooh how do you work out what your due date would be? There's another way for me to waste time!

Ps anyone else feel a bit of relief when AF has started? It means you have have a rest from obsessing! Mine's just finishing so gearing myself up for cycle #4!

Missmrs I'm usually relieved if I'm been spotting for 5-7 days prior to af as I just want it to come so I can get on with it....but still do feel gutted that it's arrived as I always have a little bit of hope until full flow. It's a mix of emotions really. I'm always relieved when af is finishing and we can crack on with dtd but then after days on end dtd I am relieved to get a rest! It's just a vicious cycle....does it ever end?!!!!

Missmrs I've been doing it by counting 40 weeks from period start date but I could be wrong!

I want the prosecco but husband is marking so won't have any. Is alcohol ill-advised in crotchwatch limbo land?

Missmrs I am also quite relieved af has come as you say can now chill, move on and not have anything to obsess over till next fertile period and then the tension begins again lol x
