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

Thanks Spinning. Got my hopes up waaaaay too high this month after the lightest (and shortest) af in my personal history which was silly really, since it was only cycle #2. Symptom spotting was my new hobby, but I'm fairly new to actively trying so I'm hoping I'll chill out a bit more for the next few months at least! Tracking my cycle but not temping just yet. Maybe I'll give that a try in the next couple of months ??

chubbocat · 25/10/2014 08:51

i will hop on the bus, AF (but hopefully not!) due 13th novemeber!

MaMaPo · 25/10/2014 08:53

Hello all. I'm on this bus and using cbfm for the first time. All lows so far so hoping it will start to show as high soon - I'm CD11. I probably should be shagging regardless of the cbfm readings - you never know!

TheProofIsInThePudding · 25/10/2014 09:43

toots I'm in the same boat as you - due 14th November. All OPKs negative so far, but that's to be expected. The luteal phase is usually 14 days, which means we should be ovulating on Friday, so not getting positives until the end of the week. Panic not!

Yes MaMoPo we are shagging regardless just in case!

TheProofIsInThePudding · 25/10/2014 09:43

Sorry - MaMaPoBlush

Morning Ladies,

Welcome to all the newbies and bus transfers.

Man I feel sicky today symptom only 5dpo though arghhh its going to be a longggg tww

Stuck at work till 1pm and can not be bothered to do anything lol

How lovely would it be if we all graduated at the same time to the an boards

gennibugs · 25/10/2014 10:05

Morning all.
This is the bus to be on! I can feel it!
DH and I had a brilliant chat last night about ttc and I feel so positive. He so just great.
Hope everyone has a great day! With lots ofWine if need be Smile

Quietlyhopeful81 · 25/10/2014 10:08

Blueberry, I regularly feel like I can't be bothered to do anything when in work on a Saturday. I'm lucky enough to have this one off and am waiting for the OH to finish playing golf so we can spend it doing something fun. :)

xBlueberry88x · 25/10/2014 10:11

Morning Genni Glad you had a good chat with DH I can never have a good chat with my dp hes such a muppet lol

Quietly Its just un natural to work on a weekend lol...Ive only got to work 4 hours but it was so hard getting up lol week off after this though woooo

Quietlyhopeful81 · 25/10/2014 10:21

Agreed Blueberry! It should be banned for being cruel and unfair lol. Wooooooo for a week off for you next week though! I'm not a big fan of how time crawls at work sometimes but flies when you have time off. Hope today speeds by for you :)

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 25/10/2014 10:26

toots my bfp due 14 nov, I haven't had pos opk yet but am having near positives. Weird tho as cd 9 today and I ov'd cd16 last month!

Dozygirl · 25/10/2014 11:07

1dpo according to ff. had a wave of sickness yesterday, crazy head has already started symptom spotting and I'd probably not even bloody ovulated at that point! This is gonna be a long tww.

Yey for the positive attitude genni. I'm not feeling hopeful this month as only managed to dtd on Thursday with my first positive opk. Worked 13 hours yesterday then went out getting drunk for DP birrhday so there was no chance of dtd last night. Really really wanted to tho so that we were following the SMEP :( anyone else feel they should dtd literally constantly just to make sure there is millions of sperm waiting to catch the egg??!! I want to be doing it morning afternoon and night otherwise I feel like it won't work lol.

Welcome to the newbies to the buses. Grin

Treaclepie19 · 25/10/2014 11:52

Glad you're feeling happier genni :)
Isn't it funny the difference once af comes. I actually forgot to take my temp today. Turned off my alarm and went back to sleep :p

xBlueberry88x · 25/10/2014 12:00

My god so im a letting agent had to do a check out today which usually means telling people they have left it untidy or dirty and that I have to mark it down.

Did this today and the couple flipped and the guy threatened me!

I responded my crying like a little girl and have barely managed to stop symptom Ive got an hour left of work and ive got to try not to cry lol

Dozygirl · 25/10/2014 12:17

Sounds awful blueberry hope the last hour goes quick and then u can escape home for some snuggles. Threatening ppl can be do terrifying. It's not nice at all. Thanks

xBlueberry88x · 25/10/2014 12:19

Dozy Im thinking maybe the clomid has made me over emotional I dont normally cry like that....an hour later and I could still cry at the drop of a hat its weird

Dozygirl · 25/10/2014 12:31

Yeah I've heard it can do that. I'm just generally emotional lol. I'll cry at anything :)

Dozygirl · 25/10/2014 12:35

There should be an option on the ovia app for 'tried to have sex' lol. Then I'd feel happier seeing my attempts on the chart rather than just nothing. Was unsuccessful this morning but gave it our best shot. I'm hoping that at least one lonely little spermie was released in some prejizz and is making its way up there lol. Cervix feels firmer today tho so I reckon my chances are over. I kinda regret not trying temping this month like I said I would. Maybe next time.

Orangeisthenewbanana · 25/10/2014 13:11

toots I'm with you! 4 days of negative OPK'S here and although I'm not expecting to ov until Wednesday onwards, I can feel myself worrying if this is going to be a long cycle Sad Don't know whether to start dtd just in case, but also don't want to start too soon in case we're knackered by the time I do ov Confused. Too much to think about! Must. Stop.

I won't!

Joey0805 · 25/10/2014 13:12

I'm 3DPO (it's CD21 today) and now keeping fx that I have a decent luteal phase this month, last month was only 9 days but then I didn't ovulate until CD21... We did loads of DTD when my CBFM started giving me high readings (on Cd8) which was waaaayy too early so we ran out of steam then managed on CD13, 15, 17 (peak), 18 (peak) so I'm hoping that was enough!!!

mzzzf · 25/10/2014 14:40

Ola amigos! I've been unceremoniously pushed from the last bus so cycle 5 will begin in earnest once AF naffs off!

Please add me to the list when we're ready for the off:
Mzzzf, 33, ttc#1, cycle 5, BFP bloody week better be due 23rd Nov

mzzzf · 25/10/2014 14:40

Oh I'm also going to give conceive plus a bash this cycle too!

ninjabeer · 25/10/2014 15:42

Hello ladies, newbie hopping on the bus. Be gentle with me it's my first time! Blush

Stats 35 ttc #1 cycle 4 bfp due Nov 20th think I've got that right.

Have been trying in ernest for the last few months using opks temping conceive plus and soft cups. Am on cycle day 3 and coming out the other side of pmt rage, AF's arrival a day earlier than expected and the teary blues of realising that this baby making lark is harder than it looks. Spent so long trying not to get up duffed you would think it was easy? !

Anyway have vowed to be a goddess of positivity this month so hoping the Pregvember bus is a lucky one and that you guys will help me stay sane.

Waiting for AF to naff off so in the meantime I'll be at the back of the bus with a glass of vino. Wine

toothachereturns · 25/10/2014 15:51

Hello to the newbies and wave to all the familiar names (sorry to see you all still on the busHmm).
CD 9 here and DH is away until tomorrow night. He's very much looking forward to returning just as my fertile phase is due to start. Grin
if Im upduffed this month it would be ideal as I'd finish work right before School hols at end of June. No childcare fees! >high five<
Sigh...... Not feeling optimistic though.
My best friend just announced she's pg with dd2 after 1st month ttc and only DTD once last month!! Really pleased for her, she's 40 next yr so felt the pressure. But very Envy with envy.

toothachereturns · 25/10/2014 15:52

Dc2.... Not dd2. Lol.... She's only 6 weeks pg so def don't know if it's a dd yet!
