The Penis Dragons head towards their spooky, late night, October BFP's!

[Treaclepie19]

I know it's early but I had a month off in September. Here is October's bus! :)

All aboard the spooky train!

I did notice that Spinning - it would lovely to all get the holy grail that is a BFP together! FX!!

Hi English! We've missed you so glad you had a lovely holiday. im due on the 4th too! I got my exceptionally smily face this morning cd15 and have actually managed to dtd yesterday night and tonight. So going to give it a few more days dtd dh permitting. Really hoping the 2ww will pass by quickly. I have a feeling it will this time as I get the keys on Thursday to our new home

How exciting MrsE! That's been a long time coming! Fantastic news!! The tww will fly by for you, you're going to be mega busy.
I've got a busy couple of weeks too so hopefully that will take my mind off things.... I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot!!

Hello lovely ladies,
to those that af got and fx all this DTD works out for us all, I am hoping that age old tale that sperm hangs around for 5-7 days works out as only managed DTD cd8,9,10,11 and ovd cd14 (Today) as dp isn't around to DTD. Have brought another lot of 50 opks for next month and have a spa day booked so hopefully law of sod kicks in and the swimmers stuck around for 3 days but not hopeful! Only cycle 1so shan't complain!
Glad you managed to DTD mrse and hope ds loves the lessons :)
welcome back English glad it was a nice holiday
teacher yay for the bfp! :)
April fab news about your tests and hopefully another test proves positive for you soon ;)
Hope the run went okay genni I would probably manage 2 minutes before I needed a rest!
Hello (waves) to everyone else, hope we are all okay :)
Fx for all you lovely ladies and baby dust all round!

Allatonce - that's the science, fingers crossed those swimmers are patient for you!

MrsE - fab news on the house! I'm thinking your BFP will be in the post very soon now this ordeal is coming to a close!

English - welcome back!! Lovely to see you and fab the soy is working it's magic AGAIN. If you, MrsE and Spinning all get your BFPs soon from it, I'm sacking off all my medical treatment and taking them myself!!

2 days to go until my scan on CD12. If I'm ready to ov as soon as that I'll die of shock!! Ha ha. I have a feeling i'm going to miss out on the IUI due to our imminent holiday (flying to the Baltics on Friday which is a bit random I realise!)... Hopefully I will ovulate on my own and catch it with DH just using Preseed if so!! X x

Morning

Chandler, hope the scan shows you're ready to ov.

MrsE, you must be so excited for your house move! How is your dss getting on? Did he go to boarding school?

Up too early for a Sunday, have a good day ladies.

Good morning, up early here as ever with a nearly 1 year old. Good luck to everyone getting into the 2ww, let the symptom spotting commence. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
allatonce hopefully all that dtd will do the trick!
No idea what is going on here as we are near the beginning of the wtf cycle but we will keep going on eod until we don't have the energy to do it anymore. Until then I will definitely have a drink when I want one. Had some the last couple of nights for the first time in over a month.

Morning all, I'm standing in a field flogging my shit again, lol! Oldest ds is with me having just sold his electric guitar. It's nice to have his company.

Dss on the other hand is another story. The diagnosis has been very difficult and anyone who understands aspergers autistic spectrum will understand going back to school getting into routine and moving house is really difficult for him. Hes 15 on Monday. He's not good with change. That being said his behaviour is horrendous at the moment. The jury is out on boarding school as the one he was finally recommended was going to be 30k a year. And we weren't sure whether it would be fair to make that greater financial sacrifice on one child meaning the others would go completely without. We are still trying to work out what to do, but it's all on hold until we move. I currently think the 30k would be better spent on a deposit for a flat for him to live independently in the future. We offered to pay wages for a TA in his current state school. That was declined by the school.

Haha MrsE, a car boot sale! Had to read that a few times before I got it!
Sorry to hear things are difficult with your dss although it sounds like there is little respite from his illness. How sad that there is no TA to help him along. It seems ridiculous that the school declined your offer to fund one. Hopefully he will settle in your new home soon and life will get easier for you all.

Morning Ladies, I've been up since the crack of dawn full of worry and because I had to OPK too.

Was meant to come back on to the thread on Friday to get up to date with all your messages as I had to rush to work but I got a call from my best friend saying that her aunt had passed away. She was a lovely lady who has fought her illness for years, and we will all surely miss her.

Welcome to the newbies and hay-ho to everyone about to OV, hope it's a good one and you all get BFP

MrsE sorry to know about your DSS. I have a good friend who's son also has Aspergers and it's a constant worry not knowing how they will cope in the future. Also not good the poor help the school has given you. Surely (and unfortunately) there must be other children with learning difficulties in his school, isn't help offered to these children either? Would part time home schooling help? (I'm talking out of ignorance here)

Well my worry and panic today is that I don't know what is going on with me this month?!?! Had af 10/09-14/09, CD1-5 (I'm normally on for 3-5 days) and DTD CD7, 9 & 10 and started testing on my monitor on CD9 which was 'low'. Next day, CD10, I went straight to 'peak', yesterday was 'peak' too and today it's 'high'. This month I have OV really early compared to other months. Anyways I have been using the Softcup. No problem with them, really comfortable and easy to insert and take out. Although yesterday when I took it out it had what seemed a clot of blood in it. The colour of the clot didn't look like fresh blood but also didn't look like old (sorry if TMI). I was scared as I thought I had hurt myself whilst inserting the softcup. During the day I felt really 'full' and kept knicker watching. Had like a little spotting but stopped. Before going to bed to DTD I had a good bit of blood and I told DH what had happened with the softcup. We were so worried we didn't want to DTD as I didn't want to put the softcup in after in case I scarred myself even more. This morning I went to OPK and had a gush of blood with lots of clots (still having clots and blood but the flow seems to have lessen). It seemed like I was having a miscarriage, which unfortunately I've experienced before and can recognise the symptoms. The weired thing is that I am not in any kind of pain and last month although I was 2 days late and tested BFN I had lots of pg symptoms during the TWW. I also have/had a chemical pg in June which left me with a blighted ovum and cyst. Could this that is happening today be that the cyst has burst? I don't know what is going on and I need anybody's advice. If would be useless going to A&E today...

Sorry for the message being too long but I need to get the picture out as precise as possible.

Yes a car boot spinning! Made £85 profit so far. Also got 2 new customers for curtains, fabulous!

Unfortunately I dont think home schooling would help anyone. Selfishly not me at all. I work from home and basically I'd have to stop work if that happened. He's very demanding. I need my little bit of space in the day to recharge and work with a bit of calm. I'm not dss's favourite person any way sadly.

I'm confident out new home will be better for everyone though.

Curly I think if it were me I'd sit it out today. A & E are horrendous at gynea problems and on a Sunday I don't think you'll get the assistance you need. Please do go to the GP Monday though and ask for an gynea referral ASAP with possible internal scan to see what's going on.

Thank you ladies. MrsE I am going to sit it out today as I know it's pointless in going to a&e on a weekend, and also because I am in no pain whatsoever which is very strange. Could all this blood and clots be very old lining shedding? I usually have light periods.

Surely if I had become pregnant and miscarrying now I wouldn't have ovulated, right?

MrsE sorry to know you are not DSS favourite person. I completely understand you as I also have stepchildren. DSS is alright, very independent as he is 22 already, and DSD, 16, used to be the loveliest of girls until BM came back and totally brainwashed her. Has been a very tough 2013-2014 so far and unfortunately I've lost all respect for them. Luckily I have my own house which DH and I live in every other day and alternate weekends. I also need my space so I fully comprehend you and your situation xx

Curly, I can't really offer advice but maybe take it easy today and see how it is tomorrow and then seek advice from doc/a&e.

MrsE, £85 is good going and new curtain customers is fab.....I can just picture you in your new home sewing away

Urgh....feeling rotten, have the biggest hangover. I'm too old for this...worried that if I POA OPK it will display a

Sorry to hear some people are having a tough time.

curlyjay I would go with spinning's advice - take it easy and try to get an emergency appointment at the docs tomorrow or go up to a&e.

Everywhere I go there is something related to pregnancy, babies or young children. Whether it's adverts on the t.v. or the old episode of Friends that came on the t.v. where it's Emma's first birthday. Pregnant women walking down the street. Children playing. The cute baby (and his two cute older, but under 5, brothers) that was at the ice hockey game last night. Or the cute set of twins that were in the restaurant. I also go swimming most Sunday mornings (and see a lot of the same people each time I go). This morning one of the other regulars said hello and we chatted for a bit in a break between lengths - turns out she works in the local maternity unit... All this baby stuff is driving me crazy already and I'm only on ttc cycle #1!

My hormones are in overdrive!

Curly sounds like you could write the book with me on step children. My dss's mum abandoned him basically when he was 10. She kept the girls as they were"normal". She didn't nurture him properly at all. If she had bothered to sought a diagnosis when he was little life wouldn't be quite so hard now.

Spinning I made £110 total. Really pleased

April, hope your hangover has eased off.

MrsE, good mornings work. Does your dss mother see him at all?

Tmi here but I have so much cm today I just did another opk, it's negative so must be a symptom right?!

I've had loads and loads of cm the last 2 months I've done soy. I think yes it must be a good thing spinning.

She sees him reluctantly every other wkd. But refuses to do any of the drop offs/collections except bringing dss home too early on a Sunday because she can't be bothered with him. He thinks the sun shines out her arse. Well he used to, but not quite so shiny anymore. She promises the earth and never sees it through. Excludes him from family occasions entirely. For instance his older sisters 18th bday party. He wasn't invited at all. All his sisters were though. When he came to live with us he arrived in the clothes he stood up in, not even a coat or teddy.

Curly: thinks of you and your worries. I don't have any advice but defo get checked out tomorrow if it continues and you're worried.

Eek I got a positive opk at last!!! Cd 17 so that means the last two cycles id been dtd far too early which might explain why they didn't work out. So all I have to do is persuade DP to get in the mood for some sexy time haha.
Unfortunately work have called me up asking me to work an extra nightshift tonight which I'm considering coz I hate leaving them short staffed so will just have to get some dtd before I go fx!!
It made me so excited seeing that positive at long last coz a whole week of negatives was depressing me and making me think I'd missed ovulation.
Good look to the rest of you dtd.

Dozy, yay for +opk, definitely dtd before work tonight

MrsE, that's so sad. She sounds like an awful woman and he's far better off with you that's for sure!
