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

[Aprilray]

Time for some fireworks!!

Morning ladies! 12 or 13 dpo here and symptoms so far include white lotiony cm, sore bbs, constant weeing, hot flushed face and neck (more so at night though), still getting over this horrible cold and cough combo so that's thrown me a bit re: other symptoms! So tired but again that could be down to this bug. Which I am not taking any meds for grrr! Feel a bit dizzy sometimes and I keep muddling up words and spacing out...but that could just be me...ooh and tmi alert but it's a bit hard to go if you know what I mean!

Oh dear Toots! Hope you are ok, take care of yourself.

MaGrat, all sounds incredibly promising, when will you POAS?

Thanks Cariad, Spinning and Genni, praying to the temping Gods that it stays high! Cariad we are neighbours, I am South London too. I live opposite a builders yard and often wake to the delightful sound of lorries reversing. The mountains sound lovely Frolic.

MaGrat, it's sounding very promising for you, will you poas tomorrow?

Wow this thread moves fast.

Lucie thank you for the stats.

Sorry to those that have had AF. Fingers crossed for next month.

Spinning I'm sure you will ov just later than usual.

Toots that doesn't sound good at all. Hope you are feeling better. A perfect reason for putting your feet up and relaxing.

Cd19 here and day 5 of flashing smilies. To be honest we haven't really dtd enough this month. Ill jump on DH tonight. I must be ov really late unless I've missed it.

NOt sure when to POAS really...in a way I want to tomorrow but not sure as last time we found out early then we had a CP...and we have guests visiting at the weeekend. Might try and hold out til next week if I can!

MaGrat I would poas tomorrow. It won't affect the outcome either way. You are likely to worry if its a BFP whenever you test. Fingers crossed for a BFP and a happy & healthy pregnancy

Oh actually I've just realised you have guests. If it's constantly on your mind it may spoil your weekend. Perhaps test after the weekend.

Oooh it's hard isn't it! Always on my mind anyway if I'm honest!! Will let you ladies know if I find anything out!

Good morning! My inlaws are staying tonight so I didn't want to POAS tomorrow morning so did it today, BFN. I won't leave the bus until AF arrives but I'm not holding out any hope. I used FMU, with the preg test from my advanced CBFM (not a FRER), am 13 DPO but CD 31 so this is already a long cycle for me. No symptoms of AF coming which is a bit annoying - no cramps, no sore boobs, cervix is quite high and I still have creamy CM (sorry for the tmi ladies).

Morning all, wow so much to catch up on from just yesterday!!
Can I just ask - Spinningirl10 I saw that you mentioned you don't want to take Pregnacare, can I ask why that is?
Blueberry you also mentioned you thought Pregnacare messed up your cycles - how long were you taking them for?
I ask because I have been taking the Pregnacare Conception vitamins and I have read so many things from people saying they messed up their cycles and am really worried!!
Just to add Dozygirl - I wouldn't rely on home sperm tests. The other option is to pay yourself for a private test which my DH has just done. We have only just started ttc but he wanted to check how his little swimmers are before we get underway. He had the test done at Harley Street and I think it was about £150 which is a lot but it has helped to give us a bit of reassurance and take a bit of the stress off us wondering especially as DH is that bit older!

toots hope you're feeling ok now.
blueberry sorry af got you, but great that you're still on the bus and have another chance in pregvember x.
MaG that sounds pretty promising. I was debating myself about when to test, as I had a cp last cycle too. I think i'd rather test early, then if we have another cp i'd know about it, and if we get to the stage that we need to go to the dr to get some help/ tests we can let them know as it may be useful info. It's a very personal decision though.
It's cd15 here. I usually ov cd 13/14 but only getting faint lines so far on opk. Temp dipped quite low cd13 and has been rising since, but not to usual post ov temps, so don't think I've ov'd and just missed the surge on opks. I think the cp (and associated upset) has maybe pushed back my ov.

Hi guys! Can't believe how much I've missed in the last few days! It took me so long to read the whole thing, but was well worth it. I'm relatively chilled this cycle for some reason, trying to take it as it comes... Although I have starting symptom checking today as my super sense of smell seems to be back! (I managed to smell a sandwich in my colleague's closed handbag). Let's wait and see... 10 days to go before POAS!

Thank you so much ladies, i really dont know what I'd do without you all.
I think i need to get out of my job. Just don't know where to start.
As for ttc, we will carry on this month and ill reassess next month.
Really don't reckon I'll ov this month. On my 5th flashing smiley and temps are so erratic.

Anyway, off to have some lunch and will read back in a sec. Don't mean to be so me me me!

Magrat I felt the same as Ohlordy which is partly why I tested when I did. That plus the fact that if I wasn't pregnant I would be able to enjoy my night out without worrying about what I was drinking. Totally up to you. I will be admiring your restraint if you wait till next week.

Cross post Treacle, you are not mememe at all. Just going through a tough time. I know very well how miserable a job can make you. Sounds like a change would be good!

Genni my job is to travel! I work for an airline. It's a great job but it does get in the way of TTC a little bit with being away and time zone changes. I'm in South Africa until tonight and I was looking at some gorgeous little baby grows with giraffes on and actually almost burst into tears in the shop as I got ovulation pain at that same moment and I fear I have really messed up by coming on this trip instead of staying home and DTDing.

Tessie I took pregnacare all month 2 cycles ago, AF was 9 days late on that cycle but I also don't think I ovulated or if I did it was a very late ovulation. It might not have been the pregnacare though but that's the only cycle I've used it and every other cycle has been normal.

Toots the month my friend got pregnant she never got a solid smiley! just lots of flashing ones. The fainting might be a promising sign...although I hope that it doesn't happen to you again!

I think you're right sunbathing.
I did that last March, said if I wasn't pregnant by July I'd look elsewhere. Then tthat cycle I got pregnant.

I'm off work poorly today but 'taking charge of your fertility' by Toni Weschler has arrived in the post. Wow it's huge, like a text book but it's meant to be really good so going to curl up on the sofa and have a read.

I am also feeling a bit bored of ttc this month. We are on month 9 now and it's the same old stuff. Cd8 here so going to start dtd tonight although still waiting for my positive opk.

I don't know whether to get checked out at the doctors about all the spotting I get before AF arrives. It worries me that it can start as early as 7dpo and then just lingers from more than 2 days. AF is slowly on it's way today but it's still not in full force. If it was just 2 days of spotting I wouldn't be concerned but because it is longer than that then I'm wondering if something is wrong. Not really sure what the doctors can do but I need some piece of mind that everything is ok. Can't seem to find much info on doctor Google unfortunately.

Tessie, I only don't want to take pregnacare because of what I've read on here about it messing up some ladies cycles. I know it's fine for some but as there's other brands on the market I'm going to choose something else

Dozy, have you had reflexology or acupuncture? Both can help to regulate your period and stop spotting, might be worth a try.

bluesky I understand your user name now! very apt! baby clothes make me all emotional too.

lucie get well soon. I have that book in my Amazon basket, can never decide whether to get it or not.

These buses are a lifesaver. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who after months of ttc is suffering from a lack of enthusiasm and slight doom. makes me feel normal!

dozy I would see the doctor. you never know they might be able to help. otherwise I think others have had success with acupuncture like spinning says.

I did actually have a quick little search for acupuncture in my area while I was in the 2ww so I guess I can start enquiring now. Just hoping it's not too expensive! I saw a van with a picture of a pregnant lady on it a few months back that looked like it was advertising fertility but I couldnt remember what it was called. It looked like it was perfect for what I wanted tho. Anyway I certsinly think anything like that is worth a try. Thanks ladies. I just want them reset back to how they were.
