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

I'd love twins too! And I guess with us having fertility treatment we are in with a chance! Me and dh only ever wanted one child but we both would love 2 at once! If that makes sense!

Cd10 today and started the opks. Extremely faint line. Gonna jump dh later to start stocking up. Usually ov between cd14 and cd16 but have to be prepared!

Evening all!
Blueberry whoop whoop for the ovulation! Hope the 2ww goes quickly and you have some distractions lined up.

I'm trying to take this cycle v chilled, no real tracking or temping or OPKing (considering it's v unlikely to be ovulating until I start clomid next cycle). However we are plodding on with DTD EOD throughout my 45 day cycle, prob about 10 DTDs to go :)

So I definitely think the buses are due a brilliant month. Sorry for being ridiculous and using my time for crazy things, but check these stats out from the last 4 buses (give it take a BFP or two). We are WELL Overdue a bumper month!!

Oct 14 12 BFPs, 41 BFNs. BFPs=22%
Sep 14 19 BFPs, 60 BFNs. BFPs = 24%
Aug14 21 BFPs, 37 BFNs. BFPs=28%
Jul 14 21 BFPs, 31 BFPs. BFPs=40%

Bovney, love the fact you've taken the time to do that. Come on Pregvember!!

Apprentice time

Feeling positive for this month so far! Throw in another dtd on Friday (DH out tomorrow night) then that's me done for the month I think. Will have give. It our beat shot! Here's hoping for lots of bfps, at least more than 25% success rate his month!

Bovny, ooh I love the stats, thank you for taking the time to work it out, we are definitely due a good month

Thanks for that bovny although slightly depressing seeing that it's generally less than 50% that get bfps!! The odds seem so against us :(

Ladies I think I've finally got the bug going round - sore throat, sniffly, and a bit of a temp / chills. Is this dangerous during the 2ww? On 6-7 dpo and also getting cramps, tiredness, hunger.

Just have to be one of the other 50% dozy some of us on this thread will get pg this month, think positive that it could be you! :)

Self indulgent post alert - sorry. DH came home with the news that the last of our non pregnant friends are pregnant. its a honeymoon baby. he's taken it really badly as now we literally are the only ones not with kids or pg. I'm trying to be smiley and positive to try and cheer him up but I'm barely holding it together myself. I'm really pleased for them, they are lovely and it's such happy news, but...I don't know...its really hit home how hard this is for us. And I know 12 cycles probably isn't that long. I've just never seen DH so sad. I feel like I've failed somehow.

I don't even know why I'm posting this, perhaps because, like I say, I'm barely keeping it together and I know you ladies won't mind.

I'm sure this is just a wobble and ill be all positive and optimistic tomorrow when I wake.

Sorry for such a "me"post. I just needed to write it down.

Oh genni don't apologise - it's really hard. I got FB pics of three - count them three - babies doing cute things when I logged in today. Utter argh.

genni I know the feeling but you just cant let it take over hun because it will eat you up. You have not let anyone down there isnt anything that you have done or could have done. Were all here for you lovely.

bovny only have a few days left AF due around Tuesday so we shall see.

Ladies my god my boobs hurt! All the way from near my shoulder around both boobs and nipples like bullets. As well as low down cramps its driving me nuts.
On the plus side dp is off tomorrow so were going shopping for clothes and were going to Christmas world fun times

So sorry you're feeling down genni - it's so upsetting when the baby-bombs happen. It'll happen for you guys too, there's no reason why it shouldn't. It's just so, so upsetting when it doesn't happen quickly enough. I've hidden at least 20 friends on FB now - even newlyweds are silenced as they might make an announcement!

AFM: 10 days of flashing smileys / high fertility but thus afternoon's ic was out of this world: test line darker than the control line. Phew! I thought this was going to be another anovulatory cycle, but we might be in luck. Let's hope it happens soon as I'm away from dh for 4 nights from Friday!!

Big waves to all the familiar names

Genni, never apologise! It's hard to feel that mixture of pleased for someone else's good news and sorrow and disappointment that is not you. I hope you feel better in the morning but don't beat yourself up if you don't.

So,some advice please? (I just wow this whole post but mn ate it) I'm on CD16. Usually I temp and ovulate around CD14 or so. This month I've started using CBFM. It gave me high readings on CD12-13 and peak readings cd14-15. Only two days of high. We DTD on day 12, 14 and 15 and felt happy we'd timed it quite well.

This morning I took my temp and now FF is saying that actually I ovulated on CD13 so I'm 2 dpo already.

Anyone got any advice? My temp rise on FF isn't at all marked otherwise I'd have noticed it. Do you think my timing is going to be ok?

Oh thanks for the stats bonny! I actually think a 25-50% chance isn't too bad!

Blueberry I'm going to call it. Bfp for you.

Big hugs genni don't worry - you will get your bean when you are meant to- think of the hand me downs coming your way one day;) book something to do like short noticewine tasting that kid and pg can't do!

Am Ov symptom watching- have a very cold nose - is this ov? Or am I a dog Just ate a bowl of pasta as I was upset I didn't lose at slimming world this eve- talk about comfort food.

Dragging dh to bed soon - he actually asked me last night what happens if he is not up to it..theoretically of course . Apparently the look I gave him Made him re think ever asking again. Oops. I have made him dtd cd 9 10 11 12 13 14 (which is today) and plan for this till Friday or sat . Irregular cycle so no real window so no escape.

Tempted to poas opk right now to see if it is changing at all- my flashing smiley again first thing .... Is it too late to do this right now? 9.30pm?

Genni don't u worry about having a downer on here. It's what this bus is here for. It is heartbreaking seeing others get pregnant around u when its not happening for u and I really hope it is your turn soon. Are u looking into getting help for fertility ? Hopefully u don't have to go down that root but now you're closer everyday to your BFP. I totally get the pain tho hugs

Sorry you're feeling down genni . It's so, so hard when you hear news that you know you should be happy for your friends about, and you also beat yourself up for being jealous it's not you . Hang on in there and chat on the bus about it. We all know how you feel and know you WILL get your bfp soon.

Think DH and I have done with the business-like dtd for this cycle. Opk line was fainter tonight (CD19). Dtd days 13, 16, 17 and 19 and if I ov'd it would have probably been day 17 or 18 going by opk's so happy with how we've timed things. Feel generally a lot more relaxed this month. Have got to grips a lot better with my cycle/opk's and know we've done all we can dtd-wise. Just up to fate now!

Oh genni :(
I can really relate to what you're saying.
We've been trying officially for 10 months but its actually been 12 nowa and had a mc in that time.
The other day DH was so angry that someone who has got their baby and started ttc same time as us just doesn't appreciate what they've got.
It brought it home for me too.
Big hugs xxx

Hmph, 10 dpo today, no symptoms and think I am resigned that this isn't our month.

Feeling okay about it actually, in fact I am curious to see what my lp does this time - it was longer last month (after I upped my b6) so I am keen to see if that happens again this month or if it was a fluke. :)

toots that is some impressive dtd!

genni [thanks{

That shoul have been flowers

Yay treacle cycle twins (ish) although I think from when I last saw the stats you are a couple of days ahead on testing?

Also Yay for twins, I have always wanted twins. Especially now I'm older, it would be nice to get my babies in fewer pregnancies. I had sweet potato last night too

11dpo here and no real symptoms. I'm not giving up hope yet though as I don't remember any symptoms at this stage in earlier pregnancies.

Not sure about twins, I have seen people trying to cope with them and it doesn't look easy!

Af should be here the 17th Boosk, I'm never sure though as they've been so up and down.
