November bus opening doors- all aboard for BFPs!!!

[IamEvan]

I know its waaay early for a November bus to set off but AF arrived today kicking me off the September bus and with DH away next month the October bus is not an option. Anyone fancy joining me in the long wait? I don't expect much action on this thread for a few weeks but it would be nice to have some company. My stats are below:

iamevan, 35, TTC#2, cycle 6, BFP due 7th November

Hello ladies - in case you are interested here is my FF charting homepage, as I paid for the premium I get to have all my charts on there and the overlay so thought I'd share it.

Awwww bluesky I totally forgot about mulled wine!! It's my fave at xmas. I might allow myself one cheeky mug if I'm upduffed at xmas or find a non alcoholic one of they do them because I loooove it so.

I haven't booked a ski trip this year so I'll be totally gutted of I'm not upduffed and I've missed a year of going because once a baby arrives it'll be even harder to go.

Missed DTD last night as DP didnt get home till 10:30 so gonna try today. Opk this morning looks very close to positive but I'm sure my one from last month was quite obviously positive so I think it's still got to come. Maybe taking b6 is making me ovulate late. Will test again later to see if it's gotten stronger. I've had some spots on my chin the last couple of days so that must be a good sign too. I've always got lots of cm so I've not really determined the difference between ewcm and normal yet.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to see so many of you have been kicked off the Pregtober bus and all round!

Chandlers, so sorry to hear your news, I really hope you do continue to pop on and let us know how you are getting on, you are going to be missed on here, it won’t be the same without you. So glad that you are continuing to be positive and have a plan of action

Speaking of positivity, Lucieloos, I finished that book (Trying to get pregnant and conceiving by Marissa Peer for anyone else who is interested), thoroughly enjoyed it so thank you for recommending.

So, my strategy of no temping/OPKs this cycle and just DTD is going well. Am a bit of a control freak so thought it may back fire and stress me out to give up monitoring everything but feeling pretty relaxed about it all. Have been preparing special meals this week (mid cycle) based on holidays DH and I have had together to get us in the DTD mood. Tonight is Italy night, bought some limoncello especially

Will post updated stats below.

Thanks for the stats April. Sorry to see so many familiar names, but welcome to all of the newcomers. Fx that November is the lucky one for us.

Temping ladies - does anyone know how we are meant to deal with the clocks changing at the weekend?

Terry, great charts I've paid for vip version as well now.

Can I join please?! It's great to see such a supportive network here. I am a total newbie to this - decided to ttc #1 about a week ago but I think I was ovulating - not using temping or OPKs but I do get a bit of pain mid cycle which I assume is when I am ovulating. It seems highly unlikely that I'll be getting a BFP in November but I suppose it's possible. We're planning in just DTD for a while and seeing what happens.

Af isn't really here....it was just some brownish gunk! I've attached my chart for any of you temping ladies to have a peek at please. Any thoughts? I always go straight into af full flow with red blood so this is not the norm.

Kilicat, hello and welcome
Good luck to you.

Spinning crossing everything

Thankyou aprilray for the stats xx I can't believe many of us joined from the Oct bus, bad month for BFPs!!!! When everyone puts #cycle, is that how many months you have been trying or how many times you have had AF? Sorry for the stupid question lol

Mum Cycle is from AF to AF rather than month.

Welcome Kili

Not long to go now girls and then this bus can get going shame im out very early on and will have to hang around again lol

Spinning I've only temped 3 times, I'm not very good at it as I don't always get up at the same time. I'd say normally that would mean that AF is on her way BUT I've done a little research and some women do get a big dip even as late as 13dpo and then get their BFP so I would definitely say you're still in with a chance. Fx for you!

Thanks Bluesky, I think af will arrive, she's just taking her time and messing with my head

Thank you wanttobeamummyin2015 x

This afternoon I couldn't resisted after a misscarage 5 half weeks ago!! Got my bfp today going to the doctors tomorrow to be keeped an eye on xxx

Good luck lady's I wish u all sticky baby dust xxx

Thanks blueberry , that puts me in 7th cycle then

Lussluc many congrats!!!!!!

Spinning, really hope its not AF for you xxxx

Lussluc, Congratulations, wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Congrats lussluc

Whohoo got my positive opk tonight at long last. Think I miscalculated when my AF actually started as I spotted from cd 28 to 30 then I don't think it was proper AF till another 1 or 2 days after that so that would put me at either cd 18 or 19 which makes more sense than it being cd20. Either way today is my positive opk so my bfp date will be more like 3rd - 4th November now. Now I just need to crack on with dtd tonight! I'm feeling excited but nervous in case dp isnt in the mood for it. There's so much pressure to make sure u do it at the right time. I'm not telling him tonight's the night but I'm sure he'll know coz im not very subtle haha. Wish me luck!

Thanks bluesky :)
I hope so.

Congrats Luss :)

Finally got my pos opk yesterday eve but then this eve was negative...does that mean I probably oved today? Sorry - am a bit new to opks. DTD anyway just in case, and last Tues, and at weekend. Phew hopefully all bases covered!

Congrats to Luss - FX for a lovely sticky bean :)

Hi all, new to the buses (unfortunately not so new to TTC!)

Congrats Luss!

Spinning - saw your posts on the October bus (managed to join and post once before I was rudely booted off by AF). Fingers crossed it's not AF

Good work on the OPK Dozy I might be a little bit afraid of OPKs, do you feel they are reassuring? I'm worried about putting pressure on myself and DH, we currently go for EOD.

Does anyone else get bad O pains? I almost always get it on both sides and I have 3yo twins, and a strong family history of twins so I'm assuming I release 2 eggs a time. That hasn't necessarily helped TTC though - took 10 cycles to get those two, and currently on cycle 7 TTC#3 (with a mc in August). Anyway, that was a bit of a waffle - my question is, do you think your O pains are usually before or after the actual ovulation? I don't temp or use OPKs so would be interested to know others' experience.

Congratulations lussluc!

Sorry AF arrived to those of you have come over from pregtober.

Cd17 here and I don't know what's going on! Having got (what I thought was) a positive opk on CD12-13 I have got a stonger positive today. So assuming I got it wrong we have dtd eod a bit early. Need to dtd again tonight & tomorrow really, but think I've worn DH out with the dtd on demand... & in also in a pretty grumpy mood which isn't helping matters

congrats luss

magrat you normally ov within 36 hours of opk so I would dtd tomorrow aswell to cover all bases

welcome knitted opks helo narrow down the time frame I dont often tell dp when I get a positive.

i get ov pains the day after positive opk so probably the actual day i ov

sherbet sometimes your body gets ready to ov but doesnt make it so tries a few days later definitely dtd if you can
