Pregoween is approaching! Time to grow our beans into Pumpkins - all aboard for spooky bfps!

[wanttobeamummyin2015]

New thread! Fx this one brings us all some luck!

Ordered some opks from Amazon, I figure if I get a bfp this weekend then I won't care about a wasted fiver, however if Af does arrive at least I am hopefully softening the blow by preparing for next month!

mrse glad he's grovelling, my dh can make very wierd money decisions too.

I'm out for Pregtober - AF has got me.

I started having cramps around lunchtime and took some ibuprofen. A couple of hours later they were getting worse. I suddenly felt terrible: hot, shakey, nauseous, dizzy, and all the colour drained from my face. I had to ask a colleague to take me home, as DH had the car and couldn't come to fetch me. I'm back home now, in bed, and feeling a bit better. It's all very strange; I never usually get ill and definitely not bad enough to go home early. I can only assume that it was particularly vicious cramping and my body couldn't cope with it.

Best of luck to you all - I hope to see none of you on the November bus! On to cycle 2...

It definitely was a Bridget jones moment. Think I needed it though. Looking back it was actually bloody hilarious. God knows why I put it in my bag, it seemed like the right and normal thing to do at the time! It didn't seem right to put it in the bin with the sanitary products haha! It has lightened the mood and not quite so disheartened about the bfn. It's almost a relief that I can stop kidding myself about non-existent lines and just wait for af! Hope she shows up on time. Hope you are all having a good Tuesday!

ohlordy lovely temp rise . It took me ages to figure out the link between my increased libido and the pill. I was so happy and relieved when I did because for years I've enjoyed DTD but not really enjoyed it, IYSWIM Now I don't ever want to go back on the pill!!

Sorry AF got you proof, here's hoping November is a good month!

Proof, sorry af arrived so awfully, hope you're feeling better soon

Treacle, keeping fx for you

MrsE, pleased dh has seen sense. Hope he hasn't taken a dunkin in the pond!

Wantobe, I was rooting around in the bottom of my bag earlier and found a used ov test it really is revolting, goodness knows why I didn't throw it away!

terrys I am the same! Had no idea the pill had killed my libido until I came off it. Now I actually want sex without having foreplay to persuade me! DH is loving it think he is secretly glad it was a bfn cps it means at least another bumper month of dtd ;)

Well that was the shortest bus journey ever...AF got me this avo.

Thanks for the story want - it made me laugh on a gloomy day.

Off to find the November bus, thank you for the welcome though! Good Luck all, hope there's lots of BFPs by the end of the month :)

hey blueberry, oh lordy and sunbathing. thanks for ur responses. Will figure out the game plan for next month I guess once we get there. will just go for tonight and wed first. ttc is shattering!!

mrs e - glad your dh is groveling now

Just posting a quick question before reading back!

Does anyone know what the difference is between a positive line and an evaporation line?
I woke up desperate for a wee at 4am. I NEVER wake for a wee so thought hmmmmm and took an ic test. Then I put it by the bed and promptly fell back asleep before the 10 mins were up! (I like my sleep a lot)
I woke at 7:30, checked again and again and again and there is a squinter! How do I tell if it's an evaporation line? Why the hell did I fall asleep?!

No other interesting symptoms today. My car doesn't seem to be on fire any more. My tits are huge, but that is quite usual before AF.

Hey frplic I had this with my last 3 IC but yet bfn on an FRER. I won't touch them with a barge pole now as they drove me mad imagining lines! My evaps could only see under light, were faint and difficult to tell what colour. If they def pink I would say bfp otherwise be sceptical and get a FRER! Good luck

Hello brew
I'm new here, TTC#1

Had my implant out in April and AF came back a few weeks later. We've only decided to start TTC this month (I thought it would take much longer for AF to come back)
Have been using Fertility Friend, OPKs and temping this month and apparently I ov'ed on CD15. For various reasons we didn't DTD until 1dpo but pretty sure we've missed the boat this month. Am now 11dpo and have been testing everyday since 6dpo blush All BFNs. It could be too early but am realistic that we missed the egg this month.

Am just desperate for AF to turn up (due on Saturday) we can start properly! So determined to have a BFP for Christmas but realize that is very optimistic!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you and sharing my sympton spotting craziness!

Hello youve welcome to the crazy bus!

Sorry af came Proof.

No positive yet Spinning - last cycle it was cd16, today is cd12. I'm hoping it'll happen cd16 if not before. Got acupuncture tonight so i'm hoping she can give my ovaries a little boost!

Lordy -your chart looks very promising!! There's good statistics for tri-phasic charts!!

MrsE glad DH has seen the error of his ways.

treacle likewise either 4 or 1 dpo. Hoping it's 4 but pretty sure it's only 1. Boo!

Sorry af got you proof and knitted all the best for November.

Welcome to pregoween youve

Loving that my phone is recognising pregoween as a word now too.

Oh and MrsE - I'm glad DH has seen sense!! You absolutely deserve the extra care of an independent mw!

Oh my days - just lost a big message there x

Proof I hope your feeling ok x
And you too Katy xx

Want - so Damn funny aaah, I'm like a crazy person chuckling at my phn I think that is a sign that your def to STOP testing right now lol x

MrsE, I say dunk him anyway :-/ men children, it's an apt description! X

Oh Blueberry, baps.... It's worse when the Freudian slips happen in RL ??

Frolic,,,, Get A FRER :)))

Lucyloos I'm so glad your scan was positive for you x

Spinning just eww lol x

Sunbathing I hope you and little bean are doing good xx

I know I've missed some of you out, please forgive
Welcome to the newbies and hope everyone is well and good xxx

Me - I'm thinking about starting to temp so all your charts have been good to look at. Very informative, however my concern is that my sleeping pattern is out of sorts right now. I usually do get 3 consecutive hours and 1 of you said it is possible to measure with that Soo I think when/if Af arrives I will start.

I am symptom spotting mad myself yet I feel I shouldn't be due to mc last month!!!

Que sa ra and all that!

Right now I'm going to wrestle a double mattress with dh to get it up the loft wish me luck, we will need it.

Will report back layer re mattress

Sera sera even! There I go again, making words up now lol
X

Sorry af got you proof and mittens, good luck on the nov bus x.
terrys I've agreed with dp that no matter what, I'm not going back on the pill either - god only knows what it's done to me besides the libido.

want I know what you mean, it's sort of win win for dp, bfp means he's got awesome baby making sperm, bfn means qahoo another rutting season.
Welcome you've.
I have everything crossed english I read only 5% of triphasic charts are bfns. Trying to be realistic though - it's just one high reading so far.

Argh I think I am officially going mad now. Bought FRERs on the way home and couldn't resist doing one tonight (even though very dilute pee, sorry tmi!)

Is it me or is their the faintest trace of a line here? I genuinely can't tell if it's a figment of my imagination, also doesn't help that my phone doesn't take very high res photos.

And if I really am 16dpo, shouldn't any line be a lot stronger by now? (possible I misread my temps but we stopped dtd after my ov peak so unlikely I would be preg if I ovulated later!)

I can see it too Lucy!! Looks like a bfp to me!!

I can see that lucy! Looks positive to me.

I know, I know I need to get a frer. But I'm feeling so fragile that spending all that money and getting a negative will really upset me. I think I'll keep playing with ic's for now and then get something more expensive when / if af is late.

I am no longer in limbo af arrived woop woop sorry been in limbo to long must have been the folic acid
Vitamins

Thanks English and Frolic! Not sure I actually believe it but good to know my eyes are playing tricks. I will probably wait a few days and test again, hopefully it'll be more clear then! Ironically this is the one month I haven't noticed any symptoms whatsoever and feel completely normal...

Frolic - I know what you mean about buying expensive tests, I can never bear to until AF is officially late. Fx for you!

Sorry AF got you Ruby, hope next month is your month!

Durr, NOT playing tricks is what I meant! Sorry I am sitting here in a bit of a daze. Went to make a nice calming cup of tea and then started to worry that I shouldn't have caffeine so now drinking camomile I found in the back of the cupboard 3 years past the BB date :)
