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

Blueberry, I hope the cramps and tiredness are positive signs for you.

I really don't know if I'll take it, it's only a part time job. I work now but it's a funny job, I work with dp, mornings only but I do it on my own so I find I spend a lot of time on my own as dp works long hours. I'd quite like to do this job as I'd be working with other people. I think dp's concern is the job I do for him which has to be done in the mornings. At the other job they said I can choose my hours which sounds fab.......I really need to talk to dp about it. I also think he's got used to be being around at all times so we can meet for lunch, go to the gym or for a walk whenever he has a quiet time. And with the law of sod I'm bound to get a bfp this month if I take the jobGrin

spinning could you not do half and half? Work for dp and the new job? Suggest it to him maybe Smile

Spinning congratulations on being offered the job. I hope that your and your Dp can find a way to sort it out so that you're both happy with the work schedule. It's always so horrible arguing with partners, especially when they're not around to sort things out straight away.

Ohlordy do you think your OHs brother and his wife are doing it on purpose. If they're like that then I'd have a strong word with them or get your OH to raise it with them. However, if they're not normally malicious then it might just be them not knowing what to write. I know it sounds thick but my brother-in-law is not married to his partner and I never know what to write. First I wrote his first name, her first name, his surname but realised that was wrong and then I'd just write his full name on the envelope and write both their names in the card. Since reading your post I've realised that I was being an idiot and will write both their full names in the future. Hopefully they were just being idiots like me and you could bring it up in a jokey and friendly way for them to get the hint?

I've started taking Soy Isoflavones this month, I'm on cd5 today and taking them cd4-8 I'm going to start on a low dosage this month and see what happens.

TheProofIsInThePudding · 26/10/2014 20:21

Happy Sunday, everyone!

We've had friends over this weekend and so there was quite a lot of gin consumed yesterday and consequently no DTD last night. I really don't understand how people can drunkenly have sex and forget the contraception and end up pregnant. For us getting drunk acts as the contraception!

Ohlordy I would assume that your DP's brother doesn't realise that it upsets you. You could ask them to call you Auntie: say how great their kids are and how much you enjoy being in their lives, would it be alright to call you Auntie Lordy?

Congrats on the job offer spinning I hope you can find an opportunity to talk things through with DH and work out a solution.

MrsGingerbread · 26/10/2014 20:22

spinning great about the job offer. Well done! I hope that you and dp resolve things soon.

Quick biology question... where is my uterus. I couple of times today I have felt a sharp pokey pain about an inch below my belly button. This is too high to be anything exciting isn't it.

Only 6dpo today - so just wishful thinking. :)

Everyone else okay?

Sakura03 · 26/10/2014 20:24

Thanks wanttobeamummy,spinning and xblueberry - nothing to worry about then, that's good to know!

Linseyd · 26/10/2014 20:31

hi ladies can i join your thread just got a positive this morning very shocked going doctors tomorrow anyone know what happens after that xxx

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/10/2014 20:42

Well broody if Im honest they've all had their rubbish moments with sleeping. They've all slept with me at different times,eldest ds was a complete disaster. He wouldn't sleep at all. But he was sorted by the time he was 3. Dd cured ds's multitude of problems. He just loved her to pieces from the outset. So they shared a room and that worked. Dc3 was so determined to get out of his room he jumped a dog gate at 18 months. Dc4 was pretty good but was a sucker for lullabys. In fact dc4 and 5 are sharing a room now and I did start singing the other night and dc4 fell asleep sooner than dc5. He still loves a bit of Martha's Harbour. I do know in my heart of hearts dc5 won't wAnt to be sleeping with me when he's 16. But if we could just get a few good sleeps in it would really help. Confused

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/10/2014 20:43

Victoria that procedure worked really well for me in the past. I really hope it does for you.

twilightstruggle · 26/10/2014 20:43

I'm very late but can I please join you all? Stats are:

Twilight, 32, ttc#1, 4 mc, cycle 1 (since last mc), bfp due 2nd Nov.

I poas today - at 7dpo - I think I have gone over to the bad place?! It was bfn unsurprisingly. It was in response to sore breasts today which is a bit exciting although I can't remember if this happens when not pregnant and merely symptom spotting too

MaGratgarlik1983 · 26/10/2014 20:47

3-4 dpo for me today and no major symptoms so far. Congratulations Lynsaed and also to Spinning for the job news!

We managed to BD a few times over ov so FX!!

spinningirl10 · 26/10/2014 20:54

LinseyD, congratulations on your bfpGrin

You want the Ante Natal boards really, go to topics, becoming a parent and then ante-natal clubs....there's a due in July thread there with some other ladies who have just got their bfp......wishing you a healthy and happy 9 monthsGrin

Linseyd · 26/10/2014 21:19

thank you spinningirl10 baby dust to you all xxxx

broodylicious · 26/10/2014 21:23

That's been my last three years sunbathing - worrying, fretting, dr googling everything from babies moving too much/not enough, indigestion in pregnancy (bleurgh), birthing strategies (owww), colic (for once, not horse related but just as annoying!), successful breastfeeding, how the fuck to get baby to sleep through.... It really is fabulous though. Best job ever!!! You. Will. Love. It Smile

mrse, v reassuring that all yours have had issues of some sort with sleep. Lol at your little hurdler Grin Apparently my nephew was like that so my sister had to remove the gate sharpish!

Boosk · 26/10/2014 21:35

Congratulations on the job spinning, great news, well done. I hope your dp gets over his strop and is able to be pleased for you.

Victoria welcome, it certainly sounds like you have more than earned your bfp. fx for you Smile

Night everyoneBrew

Just popping on to say hi. CD5 here so not much to report (oh and I decided not to take the soy this month so really nothing happening atm) DH been away for 5 days and getting back tomorrow, it was booked months ago so lucky timing hey! Smile

Congrats on the job Spinning, talk to DH and then work out what you want. Don't let TTC stop you doing it, if I still have to run... Wink Grin

MaMaPo · 27/10/2014 05:46

Hello all, how's the symptom spotting? Grin

Cd13 here and got a high today and yesterday on cbfm. Some ewcm today too so I think we'd better retire to bed... Never used cbfm before so I'm interested to see whether it gives me a peak reading tomorrow, which is when I would expect it.

Almost ready to get this bus in gear! Who'll be the first BFP?

spinningirl10 · 27/10/2014 06:55

Morning Grin

Haha Terry Grin

Cd4 here, af should tail off today and I have to decide when to take soy, today or tomorrow.

Hope all you teachers are enjoying half term.

flowerbombVR · 27/10/2014 07:40

Well done in getting the job spinning x
Hopefully you and oh will be back on track soon x

MrsExtraOrdinary · 27/10/2014 07:52

Spinning think I'd go for as late as possible with the soy.

knittedmittens · 27/10/2014 07:54

Morning.

Congrats on the job Spinning. Hope DP gets out of the grump soon so you can talk it through.

Have just paid £18 for 5 days internet on holiday in deepest Devon because there is not a jot of phone signal and I can't cope without it

Feeling the pain of the non-sleeping kids MrsE and Broody. Twinbies treated me to multiple mid-night wake ups and a super early start last night. Shouldn't complain because they are normally pretty good, I guess it's just the excitement of being on hols.

DH came with us (whole family are here) for the weekend, but had to leave yesterday to work today. We DTD on CD 4, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 13, and I usually O on 13 so would have liked one more shot yesterday but hoping that was enough!!

Hope everyone has a good Monday :)

Orangeisthenewbanana · 27/10/2014 07:57

Morning lovely ladies Smile CD17 here and had noticed more cm the last few days. Positive on IC opk last night, and a flashy smiley yesterday followed by a solid smiley on CB today Grin.

Dtd last night and have already abandoned my plan of eod in favour of having another go tonight. If all the tests were positive from yesterday afternoon, I'm figuring Tuesday night will be too late? Is it pineapple juice for drinking after ov? May give that a go too after the next few days.

Have a lovely day all!

Orangeisthenewbanana · 27/10/2014 07:59

Ahh! Just read up thread a bit. Congratulations spinning! Hope you can get everything sorted soon with your DP Thanks
