Let's get Pregvember off with a bang! November BFP bus (thread 2)

[Aprilray]

Time for some fireworks!!

That's what im thinking too cariad.
My hearts not in it this month.
Thank you x

I'm joining your ov dance, I got a faint line on my OPK today which usually preceeds a +ve so fx for tomorrow. DH and I trying to DTD every night until ov +1 and I don't know how long we can sustain this for!!!

Oh, I meant to say before... MrsE I am so pleased about your family's reaction, it sounds lovely and I'm happy you've not got to worry about that anymore so just enjoy your PG now!

Blueberry! Trooper! Get on the bus and start singing the song and walking frolic dog whilst waving sparklers!

Sunbathing- how are you feeling?
Treacle- you are doing so well to remain positive 90% of the time- allow yourself luxury of space and time to feel shitty- it helps rather than trapping it inside. Sorry if I sound preachy:( meant with good intention.

Mrse- loving the fact you were trumped by the wise & loving family guessing!!

Am bit weirded out right now- just in bed post crying about the fact given my health bad luck so far( broke back am fine but have pain always but you sometimes need to suck it up and get on with life) ,cervix entroprian, flu, molar teeth drama, dodgy smears results etc etc( told you drama!)) questioning will I cope with pgcy but dh proved he was fab and gave me a hug, tea and a choc.( inhaled it- nom)

The weird bit is I never ever cry- no matter what and this week I have sobbed during David Attenborough life story( baby goslings, baby whales, baby seals) because it was awfully sad or cute. Literally sobbing. Sobbed reading a daily Mail article, cried as I forgot to bring my work pad home to work to do
Extra work( 11 hour day in office then 2
More at home this eve) cried when I got home as was tired, cried when my kittens/ cats were cute this eve too. Ugh. So now am a puffy sobbing pile of sodden emotion- and dh will not dtd so I can relax and sleep- which then made me cry more! Is this normal????

Sadly no real bfp symptoms- ovia is saying testing 13th....

I did
Manage to scoff the gifted malteser bar in 15 secs earlier? Perhaps symptom is choc monster.
.
Not expecting joy for my weigh in at slimming worlD in Wednesday which means I might cry......ugh.

What is happening to me!!???

Thanks toots, you don't sound preachy :)

Sorry you had a wobble and glad DH helped!
Sounds like it could all be good signs though!

Thanks ladies. Just so you know I used clear blue opk this month and got no flashing smilies but a solid one on day 12 so dtd cd12-14 but still had loads of ewcm until day 17 so I guess sering as though I had a really long cycle for me I ovd late. This month dh and I will dtd loads regardless of what the opk says!

Morning

Blueberry, sorry af arrived but pleased you get to stay here with us

Treacle, sorry you're feeling down

Mzzzf, pleased the scan was ok and showed everything to be ok.

Toots, hopefully the crying is a symptom for you.

Frolic, hope ov keeps away until you have both recovered.

Love the all the ov dancing!
Mzzzf, glad your scan went well. I agree re letting off steam, have a night out planned for Sat and if AF has arrived will certainly be doing just that.
Frolic, it can take a day or two for temp to rise after ov so hopefully you will see a rise soon.
I took my temp this morning, was really high and back pain and cramping have eased off so now I've got my hopes up! AF is due tomorrow but would expect her Thursday or Friday so not long to wait.
Toots being emotional is definitely a symptom, especially if you don't usually cry. Have FX for you.
Blueberry, I'm so sorry that AF arrived. I would count yesterday as CD1. Great that you get to stay on this bus.
Treacle, sorry that you're having a tough time. It's horrible being at work when you just don't want to be there. I spend a fair amount of time day dreaming about having a baby (or babies!) and being on maternity leave.

Sorry af arrived blueberry, but glad you get to stay on the bus with us for round 2.

for Treacle. So sorry everything is getting you down at the moment. You sound a bit burnt out by it all so maybe taking a month to recharge will help.

toots crying sounds like it could be a symptom! Fx!

Good luck with your ov dance ladies - I'm picturing something somewhere between A Chorus Line and Beyonce! With feather boas, and special appearance by frolicdog

Woke up to a high temp, so took some inspiration from cariad and had a bit of morning action! DH was too sleepy to remember his cold. It took a bit of effort - I am so not a morning person! Fx the temp stays high now and I can relax knowing I've tried my best!
If I did ovulate in the past 24 hours or so, that is around 4 days earlier than usual and probably thanks to the soy.
I hope everyone has a great day - winter has arrived here, it's freezing and there is snow on the mountains.

How's it looking in cd12 spinning, is that opks? Or cb ov smily sticks? Before the soy what day did you usually ov? Because taking it later should involve a later stronger ov in theory. Perhaps if no luck this month chuck the soy of the nearest cliff. It's not for everyone. It's just finding the balance that suits you best. It may not suit you.

Yay for ovulation frolic and early dtd

MrsE, I'm using ic's which I always use and as the line gets dark I use a cb smiley. There has been no hint of a second line at all for the past few days. I'm wondering if I won't ov, don't think I shall be taking them next cycle.

Morning all. The ov dance seems to be working at this end, and woke up to a CBFM peak, so hoping to ov tomorrow. Did it work for you Spinning?

Good work on the morning dtd session Frolic. Sounds as though you may well have ov'd - woop woop! High five to the soy (aka Frolicdog for inducing an earlier ov). Loving the image of snowy Welsh mountains. Sadly, the view do my street in South London isn't quite the same!

High temp sounds promising April. Fx this is your month.

Of my street - not do my street! Must remember to proofread my posts before pressing send

Sorry ov is still eluding you Spinning. Perhaps if the ov dance worked for me today it can be your turn tomorrow?

Cariad, yay for your cbfm peak, pleased the ov dance worked for you.

April, ooh high temp is fab, fx for you

The snowy mountains are beautiful cariad. I was thinking of you when I wrote that - I bet you miss it. I really love the first winer snow reminding me that christmas is on it's way. I love this time of year.

Morning dtd has wiped me out - I.'me going to be so late for work!

Wow Frolic, snow on the mountains already! We rarely get snow here, we get excited about a few snowflakes

I do indeed miss the mountains and the proximity to the coast Frolic- London can't offer either of those! Hope you weren't too late for work.

Morning all.

still no ov here. I've been feeling a bit jaded this cycle, I almost can't be bothered to dtd - sort of have a "it hasn't worked for 12 cycles so why should it now attitude". But I've woken up today determined to give it a good go this month. I haven't ov so it's not too late. project dtd starts tonight! And DH is primed and ready to go lol

april fx for you. High temps is a good sign for sure.

spinning I think taking soy later has delayed your ov. I think you will ov this month.

blue sorry AF got you. But you get a second bash at pregvember

treacle it sounds like you've got too much on you poor thing. It's hard to stay positive. I've struggled this cycle too - we put so much into the past 2 cycles with no luck so kind of feeling what's the point. I think it being the end of year doesn't help as we put all sorts of unrealistic pressures on ourselves to get a bfp by Xmas etc. Perhaps a break for a cycle might do you good? Hope you are feeling a little brighter today.

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone else - on my phone so can't check back!

Well that was awkward... Just passed out on the commute to work- standing on the tube -just drank my coffee ( no pg yet- caffeine is my vice I refuse to let go!) and then got sweaty and hot and then my legs no longer wanted to do their job- boom! Woke up in a nice mans lap. Shameful!felt ok drank my water and refused to let them pull a stop cable- people like me irritate me! Plodding to work now - with more coffee but think the tears and fainting are not symptoms - not only are we only Cycle 1 - I gave us 12 months- I actually think I am just exhausted from working so much and not resting at weekends. How do the ladies here cope with dc , work and constant ttc? Mrs e- how do you remain sane with your brood!

Welsh mountains def beat South London - the hills are alive etc wtc.

I think this eve I will finish early at 6.30 and choreograph the ov dance. My cats are keen too. Do we have any ballroom dancers or just baby dancing going on?

Any one due to ( actually really no cheating and doing it early) poas today? The Lucie stats list is sooo long probability dictates from bfps!

Toots, goodness I hope you're feeling ok now. Where are you in your cycle?

Genni, yay for the renewed enthusiasm, hope you catch the egg this month
I'm not feeling very positive, I'm going to keep peeing on opks until the end of the week and then probably give up for this cycle. I haven't had any cm so if that arrives it will be a good sign.

Morning everyone,

Sorry AF got you blueberry but it's great you've got another shot this month.

Treacle, massive hugs coming your way. It must be really horrible working with bitchy people the whole time, but at least you know that you're a better person than any of them.

Spinning hopefully as you took your soy in the later category it has just delayed ov slightly and you'll get a super strong egg come through any day now.

Frolic good effort on the morning sesh. I might have to take inspiration and jump DH before he knows what's hit him Thursday morning in case there's still an egg hanging around waiting for some sperm to chat her up.

Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts, my temp is still down today so I haven't ovulated yet, I'll jump DH tomorrow night anyway and see what happens. If it doesn't happen by christmas then that does mean I get to drink as much amaretto and mulled wine as is humanly possible, ooooh and plum brandy too.

Oh toots, I crossed with your post. Fainting on the tube doesn't sound good. I hope you're feeling better, sounds like you definitely need to take some time out for yourself today. Where are you in your cycle?

Gosh toots hope you are ok? sounds like you need a good rest!

bluesky fx you can catch that egg on Thursday. It sounds like you travel a lot for your job!

spinning I'm sure you will ov but if you don't it could also just be an annovulatory cycle. Which is really frustrating I know. perhaps you'll just get a super strong line suddenly due to the soy!

I think you'll ov spinning, but still probably too early at the mo.

Blue- good luck jumping - do these men realise how lucky they are to get so much action!

Genni- fx for you!

Spinning - fx you ov this week- keep - little bit of dtd incase that egg is tardy!

Come eggys- can't see on phone who mentioned being flirty but eggys if now is the time to be easy and available and down right slutty .. Be a naughty flirt with allllll the sperm that come across your path.

Sorry for being self indulgent- just all a bit confused! Am cd20 but not sure if I ov'd last week- had a week of flashing smileys but no solid one and the instructions said to stop if none came- still dtd every other day - to keep dh from thinking I am just using him as a procreation donor only. which I am
