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 for all your kind messages. Apologies for bringing my horrid cold onto the bus. Misty and MaG - I hope you feel better soon, although I'm secretly hoping that as you're both post-ov, this is a SYMPTOM.

Genni - Sorry you were baby bombed. DH and I are also in the midst of a baby boom in RL right now, with only one couple out of our friends who aren't expecting or have kids (and even they're trying). DH has been brilliant but I also feel like a failure. Enormous hugs Thanks Know that you're not alone, and as others have said, do feel free to vent/ chat on here whenever you need to. You WILL get there in the end.

Thepurplegiraffe · 30/10/2014 07:32

How are you feeling now Cariad? Hope you are on the mend.

Treaclepie19 · 30/10/2014 07:42

Sending hugs cariad x
I think we all need bfp's this month. We deserve them!

mistywillow17 · 30/10/2014 07:55

quick update - bfn this morning, so looks like yesterday;s line was an evap after all
On the plus side, it's still very early so I am still in with a chance this cycle

Sakura03 · 30/10/2014 07:59

Genni, I'm in a similar situation, a colleague has just announced she's pregnant, she's only 11 weeks but has told us this early because she's been off with ms. We're in a small office and I'm the only one left who hasn't got kids yet. Sometimes it just gets a bit much with all the pregnancy talk in the office...She's always said she didn't want kids but that obviously changed and she got pregnant really quick. Anyway good on her, I just want it to happen to me too:-)

I have a question to the experienced OPK ladies: my friend gave me her last two boots opk's (she's pg) so I gave it a go yesterday but nothing (cd15) so I thought I might have missed it as my cycle's 28 days but then I thought I had quite a lot of ewcm which confused me??We dtd last night just in case and I decided to use the last opk this morning and got two lines so I'm now even more confused!!! Should we continue dtd for another couple of days? I assumed I was ovulating on cd14 but I guess I'm not (I apologise for my ignorance you can tell I'm a newbie).

Hope you all have a good day,catch up tonight!

TerrysNo2 · 30/10/2014 08:07

hi everyone!

twins... definitely, I really didn't want them for DC1 or 2 but this time I'd love it (and be petrified!) but alas, I'm not going to turn my nose up at just one Wink Grin

cariad I hope you're feeling better soon and TTC can commence!

I know it's really difficult when other people announce pregnancies but now I try to remind myself that you never really know what they have been through to get there and on a positive note, if they can do it then surely I can! Smile

Blue500 · 30/10/2014 08:11

Morning all, 9dpo here and I've got af style cramps this morning - really hope it's not turning up early to spite me Hmm I'm clinging onto the very faint hope that it may be implantation cramping but I'm not convinced

Cariad2014 · 30/10/2014 08:34

Thanks for your kind messages Treacle, Purple and Terrys. Feeling marginally better as my sore throat seems to have subsided, leaving me with just a hideous head cold to contend with. I'm really hoping that if I get plenty of rest over the weekend, I'll be back to my normal self by next week.

Still undecided about whether to ttc this month. Currently super busy at work, and part of me feels that stress, long hours and illness probably aren't an ideal ttc combination, which makes me wonder whether we should wait until next cycle. Still only CD7 though, so I should have another 3 or 4 days to make a final decision on this cycle!

Misty - I hope you're feeling better. Fx it's still too early for a BFP.

Treaclepie19 · 30/10/2014 08:40

I had the same predicament cariad, we've just gone for it.
I figure that we've been trying so long it probably won happen but equally, the one month we aren't sure about trying ill get pregnant.
Haha.

whitwoochantelle · 30/10/2014 08:49

I'm boarding please I was af yesterday. But having problems with ovu and didn't test at all this month! Had bloods took a week ago Monday just gone 10 days does that make it? My periods a're so irregular so was a hit n miss test doctors words! So going to give it bit longer before I test, no symptoms as of yer other than feeling af in way and itchy boobs think there dore from my prodding though stats are 25 ttc#1 cycle #8 mc March total time. Ttc 32 months!

TheProofIsInThePudding · 30/10/2014 08:51

Morning!

DH and I are friends again - phew!

Sakura I'd DTD again for the next couple of nights just in case.

want it looks like we're in sync because I got an OPK that looked just like that yesterday too! We DTD last night and plan to tonight and Friday too as per SMEP. I'm quite relieved that I have had a positive!

On the topic of twins, I'd rather not! Seems like a heck of a lot of hard work to me, plus the added complications with pregnancy. I think I'll stick to one at a time!

I hope the ladies who are feeling ill get better soon. Rest up and take care of yourselves.

whitwoochantelle · 30/10/2014 08:56

Af was due yesterday*

ohlordyplordy · 30/10/2014 09:04

Eek the talk of twins is terrifying! Just the one at a time for me please.
Sorry to hear the lurgy is doing the rounds - last thing you need right now. Get well soon ladies x
If you haven't been checking back on the oct bus there is some fab news there!
Question for ladies with cp in the past - did your next cycle go as normal, or did the stress put your ov back?

spinningirl10 · 30/10/2014 09:23

Proof, pleased you and dh have made up.

Whit, welcome and fx for youGrin

Genni, sorry to hear you're down. You will get your longed for bfp, it's just slower coming than you would like. Have you been able to get an appointment with the acupuncturist?

Cariad, hope you're feeling a bit better today Thanks

StowFrenchy · 30/10/2014 10:11

Hi everyone, just wanted to share i've had a big nice smiley OPK today - every step counts so thought I'd share the joy! :) xxx to everyone

victoria401 · 30/10/2014 10:19

Wow its so busy in here I can't keep up! About the stats thing.... Each couple has a 20% chance per month so I guess it makes sense that 20% of us as a group get BFP each month?!

Sorry you're down genni. I guess I'm lucky that most of our friends have remained childless even tho we are mid-late 30's so we are not alone. I did get hurt a while back when we were waiting for our referral and in a really bad way. My friend had an unplanned 3rd pregnancy and had a termination. I wished I could take that poor sticky bean and nuture it in my belly instead. She didn't tell me as to not upset me but a mutual friend assumed I knew and mentioned it to me :-( that was my hardest point. I'm fine with it now, she did what was best for her.

Excited for you blueberry! When are you due af hun?

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 30/10/2014 10:27

Proof I had another ops opk this morning too, slightly stronger than yesterday but both are pos :S maybe I will ovulate tomorrow morning then? DH out late this eve and he has friends coming for weekend from friday lunchtime. Will have to stay up late and dtd tonight as wont have a chance on fri or weekend! Argh back to the tww all over again!

xBlueberry88x · 30/10/2014 10:32

Morning ladies,

mama shhh dont jinx it lol

vicky AF is due on Tuesday

sakura thats not a positive but it is close you may have already ovulated or you might be just about to id keep dtd just in case

cariad the distraction on busy work might be what you need to get pg

stow yay for positive opk!!

Argh well with extra sore boobs and cramps im not sleeping well which is annoying. Cramps dont seem to be going away on and off like they were now its constant
feeling nauseous today aswell

MrsExtraOrdinary · 30/10/2014 10:37

Blueberry when will you poas? I like to mark my insomnia around passengers poas! Grin >says very quietly, wouldn't it be fantastic

StowFrenchy · 30/10/2014 10:44

Thx blueberry - keeping my fx for you and all the ladies presently on the bus!

gennibugs · 30/10/2014 10:45

Morning all.

Thanks for all your lovely messages. I'm ok today, it is what it is and there's nothing I can do about it now except keep trying til January. Christmas will be hard with all the social occasions and chatter of pregnancy and kids but we'll get through it. IM made of tough stuff!! Grin DH is still down today. He struggles with the darker days anyway so it's probably magnifying everything for him.
I think I'll try to arrange something for us to do this weekend to cheer him up.

spinning I can't decide whether to try acupuncture or not. The reflexology clearly wasn't a success lol. Your appointment must be coming up?

blueberry keeping everything crossed for you so tightly.

xBlueberry88x · 30/10/2014 10:48

mrse id like to not poas until Tuesday but may give in sunday which will 13dpo so it should show up if I am

MrsExtraOrdinary · 30/10/2014 10:55

I'll keep an extra virulent eye out from Sunday blueberry Wink

Aprilray · 30/10/2014 11:37

Glad you're feeling better today Genni. There is still time for a BFP before Christmas Smile that's what I am telling myself. Last Christmas I really went to town with things you can't have when you're pregnant/breast feeding as I was convinced that I wouldn't be able to this year.

Yay for all the +OPKs!

Ooh, FX for Sunday Blueberry! I may well join you, AF isn't due until Wednesday but it is our first wedding anniversary and if there is a chance of a BFP then it would be the best present ever. and if it's a BFN I can tell myself it is too early anyway and won't be that upset

MaMaPo · 30/10/2014 11:49

Oh. Just been baby-bombed as well - a v close friend. So so happy for her but still had a little cry later. Just a little one.

Anyway. Back to the tww...
