Mama, sorry af arrived, hope you get lucky on the Nov busThanks

Flower well done on the mattress move. Bet your ds is very excited to be in his new room.

English, the acupuncture sounds fab. I've found one not too far from me so I'm going to give her a call and hopefully start next cycle.
Soy must effect nipples Grin

Boosk · 14/10/2014 22:22

Welcome to the bus Ri what tests are you using? There seems to be quite a bit of variation in accuracy but FRER seem to be the best. FX it turns into a bfp for you. Smile

Boosk · 14/10/2014 22:23

Good luck for November MaMa, sorry you got booted out this time Thanks

Boosk · 14/10/2014 22:26

Ruby just checked out your pics via the website as I can't see from the app. Very cute!

Does BFP stand for Big Fat Pumpkin? Smile

EnglishGirlsReturned · 14/10/2014 22:31

Those pics are brilliant Ruby!
Sorry you're heading to the November bus Mama - technically I think I should be joining you but I like sticking around. There's also a slight chance I could get my BFP by the end of he month if I ov before Friday!

Soy nipples are def a thing then Spinning!!

flowerbombVR · 14/10/2014 22:34

Caught up quickly :)
Yes Spinning ds is really happy with his 'new' room :)

Rugby the pics are great and perety true lol x

Sorry your out this month mama x

hand I think your mils cat is definitely onto something Grin

Mzzzf, I am loving the change of season just now. I love sunshine, Christmas season is my favourite though Smile this time leading up to Halloween then guy fawkes and so on is a happy time, I love walking the dog on a crisp day or night :) I could go on and on about it lol we saw the eclipse last month and the harvest moon and I don't even want to start on the tree's Grin

Thank you Sunbathing xx I do hope it happens soon. I was a bit mixed about it at beginning of the month. For various reasons, I am back to being joyful about the whole deal now. Though we too have felt the pressure of ttc! X

Cariad2014 · 14/10/2014 22:35

Huge congrats on the BFP Lucygoo - such awesome news. Here's to a happy and healthy nine months.

Sorry AF arrived Ruby, MaMaPo and Proof. Enormous hugs Flowers. No matter how prepared I am for it each month, it always upsets me so much more than I anticipate. Sorry AF made you feel so hideous Proof - you poor thing. Here's hoping Pregvember is your month.

Your missing FRER story sounds hilarious Want - you should definitely phone TFL's lost property line in an attempt to reclaim it, if only to establish your reaction! Sorry it was a BFN.

Loving the symptom spotting that's going on - sounding very promising ladies. I can't wait to cheer on some more BFPs.

Cariad2014 · 14/10/2014 22:37

Their reaction not your reaction! It's clearly that hour of the evening!

flowerbombVR · 14/10/2014 22:38

Tennie, could it be OV pains?

Loving all the pre OV symptoms Grin

beakerandburette · 14/10/2014 22:39

do any of you lot know if having a UTI can affect your chances of getting a bfp?

flowerbombVR · 14/10/2014 22:50

Oh my days predictive text Angry

Ruby and Grand!! Sorry my phn called you rugby and hand Confused

Cariad, it's definitely that time if night! Loving pregvember Grin

I'm off to bed soon so goodnight this time xx

flowerbombVR · 14/10/2014 22:53

Beaker, apparently not x check with Dr Google Smile

Definitely this time lol xxx

broodylicious · 14/10/2014 22:56

Ooh lucie!! Defo a line there!! Congrats SmileSmile

broodylicious · 14/10/2014 23:01

mzzzzf and flower, I'm also a lover of this season! There's just something about the autumnal air, isn't there? We have a huge deer park near us, in the middle of the countryside, and it's one of my favourite places to be at any time of the year but particularly now as it's rutting season and you hear those incredible roars from the stags. Just amazing. I've tons of photos from last week but in the interests of keeping this thread on ttc and not boring everyone with pix of deer, I shall restrain myself WinkGrin

TerrysNo2 · 14/10/2014 23:53

Lucy I can't see pic on my phone but POAS in the morning!!

sorry about the AFs Sad

ok, I just did a weird thing, I just POA-OPK-S. even though I got a positive last week and even though my temps have risen nicely to take me to 4 or 6 dpo, for the last 4 days I've had loads and loads of ewcm and now today I've got ovulation type twinges on my right side, which I haven't felt at all the last couple of months (and I used to when I ov-ed before my ectopic.

TerrysNo2 · 14/10/2014 23:55

silly phone sent message too soon..

so there is a super faint line on the OPK and now I am really reallyConfused Confused

anyone?!?!

ChandlersFarang · 15/10/2014 05:38

I freaking love autumn and Hallowe'en, it's just not the same over here in Thailand!!! It's just gearing up for the Thai winter - or for us expats, the best time of year! Clear skies, no rain, constant sun. It even gets down to a freezing 24 degrees in Bangkok in December! WinkWinkWink I can't complain about that obviously but I really miss having seasons. Only 8 months to go here and then I'm back in London... and as lovely as it is here I CANNOT WAIT!! Was a massive London fan when I loved there before leaving, and absence has only made the heart grow fonder GrinGrin

mzzzzf - interesting to hear you have a few tell tale signs!! I had absolutely none at all apart from erratic cycles, that was the only thing that alerted my doctor to PCOS. You can still have reasonably regular cycles and even be ovulating with it though, so fingers crossed for a zero-intervention BFP! Grin But one thing I've learned is that if you do have it, there are other health issues it can raise beyond reproductive ones, so it's really worth doing the tests if you can face it so that you can make a few tweaks to reduce risks of any of the complications later in life. ANYWAY enough on that, and sorry about the lecture!! (Have you heard my one about knowledge being power...? Oh, you have..? I absolutely can pipe down.... Sorry, officer... GrinGrinGrin).

ChandlersFarang · 15/10/2014 05:44

Terry - sorry - I can't help as OPKs don't work on me! Fx it's a symptom! Smile

Fx for Lucy with your FRER this morning!!

Lucie - super pleased for you that the scan revealed all is well! What a massive relief!! If you're just dealing with DH's low motility as you're only issue then I guess you just need to take whatever steps you can to help get them where they need to be. Assume you recall the top positions for DTD?! Grin lolz. Have you tried preseed or concieve plus? That's designed to help them. Anything to increase EWCM would be good too, and getting DH on Wellman Conception vits too if not already. We had to do the same over here for my DH... But then we found out last week that he actually had the hospital superbug MRSA infection BOTH TIMES he was tested, so that might actually explain why his poor swimmers were suffering!! Infections kill motility. We will retest soon, as he's free of it now. (Was a small leg infection that just wouldn't budge. Scary!) Anyway it's cool you've isolated the issue now... And how nice that the woman you saw was so lovely. Makes things so much less stressful! Smile

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 15/10/2014 06:14

Love the pumpkins ruby so cute :)

Good luck with your second FRER lucy but that was def a bfp! Congrats!

Morning all... I'm another autumn lover! I love wrapping up in comfy jumpers and scarves, the change in the leaves on the trees, the cold morning etc etc!! Only thing I don't like is the dark mornings because I don't want to get up!

Terry's, I wouldn't worry too much - we all have low levels of LH in our systems throughout our cycle. If you have a clear, sustained temp shift you've more than likely ovulated.
