New bus ladies!

Join the club Rainy can't sleep either!!! How many times can I look at my FF chart...! Lost.the.plot!

I hear you ladies can't sleep and manically symptom spotting!

just marking spot and waving pom poms.

Congrats to the bfps! This bus seems very lucky! Glad things are looking up Victoria!

So looks like ov is imminent as had a near pos this morning. Puts me back a bit date wise but as this is my first cycle off bc I had no idea what my cycles would be like.

Hubby and I had date night last night and went to Wagamamas and the cinema to see the Hobbit - it was great and I recommend it to anyone whose not seen it yet! Downside means I only got 5 hours sleep as it didn't finish til 11 and I get up at 5:30 as have a fair commute to work and I like to be early!

Could someone please update my stats next time they do them:
Maths88, 26, ttc#1, cycle 1, bfp due 30th December ish

Thanks for the welcome Sparkly. All very exciting and nerve wracking over in our house atm. OH is mostly excited about all the practice he's hoping we'll get. My focus right now is hopefully getting my cycles sorted quickly so I know where I stand.

Though if a little bean decides to stick quickly that would be amazing!!

Wowser how exciting Nutella and elley. Must be a lucky bus!

Am resisting the urge to poas ovuview app says wait until Thursday but I think Friday if AF doesn't arrive.

Rose, sparkly and Victoria how are you getting on?

Thanks sparkly. I have everything crossed for you. I'm feeling quite rough tbh. Lots of being sick and feeling tired. It's feeling like a long week already!

Good luck everyone who is getting ready to test

Frolic - think it's meant to be a good sign if your sick early on just a shame it makes you feel bad !!!

Maths - must have been nice to have a date night but you must be suffering now with lack of sleep!!!

I must have fallen asleep a little while after last post, have a good day ladies!!!

So how many days Early do you reckon you can test with a supermarket brand test then?! AF due on Monday so holding off until at least the weekend or do you reckon I should buy a frer one?!

Af arrived this morning so operations a go for tomorrow and at least I definitely know!

The amazing thing is Angus castus and reflexology has got my cycle from 37 to 28!!!! With ov on day 16 and 12 day long. Am so impressed as I even had some cycles at 39 days!

So fed up :( surrounded by pregnancies/newborns and this morning a fb announcement from someone who had ivf for no.1 and fallen straight away with no.2! So pleased for her but at same time hating myself as I don't know what's wrong with me to not be able to have no.2 after 7 months of trying, I am well and truly feeling of down.
I've only been taking frolic acid for 7 months, what else are you all taking??

Hahahah frolic acid!

Morning

Sparkly, how is your chart looking?

Alien, sorry you're feeling down, hope your sticky bfp is just round the corner

Cariad, pleased the month off has done you good and it's almost time to try again

My temp hardly changed this morning, could be because dp had woken me up coughing a few times during the night and when I took my temp I'd probably been awake for half an hour listening to him coughing! Anyway we dtd last night and hopefully I'll see a temp rise tomorrow.

Oooh and one week today it's Christmas Day

Haha no it's not it will be Christmas Eve......still half asleep

Blimey - def buy a free, they are alot more sensitive at picking up positives earlier,

Pikz - sorry AF has turned up, i am thinking about reflexology in the new year

Alien - you are not alone, i think we all get fed up with the Facebook announcements, feels at the moment everyone is pregnant except me, so coming on these buses is good as you are surrounded by people in the same position. I am taking vitamin b complex as i think my hormones are all over the place as i get spotting before my period is due, and seven seas trying for a baby but i think i might try boots own version and see how that goes, and also evening primrose oil from af until ovulation, i know this is hard but I'm sure we will all get there!!!

Morning all!

congrats elley and nutella - fx those lines are stronger today!

frolic sorry you are feeling sick - must be horrid.

cariad I'm due AF any day so we might be cycle buddies in January!! Glad having a break has helped.

victoria how are you this morning?

spinning has a smiley shown up yet??

12dpo here. Still feeling like AF might start at any moment. oh and woken up to the onset of thrush ugh ugh (tmi). The only non typical AF symptom I have is a crazily sensitive sense of smell. Wondering if it's just wishful thinking lol

Sorry cross posts - yes yes to baby/preg announcements everywhere! Even my DH has commented and he's normally oblivious to these things!
I can't even sneak on the mail online showbiz pages at work to read all the goss as every time I do another blooming celeb is upduffed too!!

Oh and pikz sorry AF has shown up. Good luck with the op.

Right I'm going now - clogged the board up with my waffling!

Thanks for your support you are right this bus is a massive support.
I need to find time to catch up :-) I will investigate conception helping tablets after Xmas hols :-) I could do with a few big overhauls of lifestyle so new year -= new me

Genni, sense of smell is a good symptom and thrush can also be a symptom!! I'm quietly keeping fx for you.
No smiley, I think I should have started using opks sooner but I was feeling a bit half hearted this month. Lines on cb that should give smiley were really dark on Sunday/ Monday but no smiley. Now they're really pale so I think I missed peak with them. Ic's also had dark lines. Will just have to wait and see what happens.

Morning all

Spinning that's how I felt this month with the opk's - really dark lines but no smiley face. Worried that I haven't dtd enough but fx for both of us

Elley and Nutella congrats on ur joint bfp wonderful news

Genni fx for your positive sounding symptoms

I'm feeling really down today. I think it's a mixture of things. I really thought id be up duffed by Xmas and I'm finding it hard that I might not be. All the hopes and planning are dashed as I realised that it's really not as easy as I thought it would be. (really not feeling lucky this month )
Plus I've got the prospect of spending a lot of time over Xmas with my SIL and her 6mth bump and young DD rammed in my face.

Am going to the panto tonight with work so I'm hoping that will cheer me up. Although at the Xmas party last week I had lots of 'so when are u having kids...?' Argh!!!

Sorry for the rant just needed to get it out x

Well still no symptoms at all here. I'm tired but that's all and I think that's just as everyone is ill. We were going to take a break ttc so as not to have too much expense near Christmas next year & ds1s birthday. However, I've a feeling it's going to take a while this time so we daren't take a break. I'm sure I'll be on the January bus. Af is due Monday if I go back to 31 day cycle or Christmas Day if I have a cycle as long as last months.

Sorry to everyone who is feeling down. I'm in the same boat, lots of colleagues announcing pregnancy.

AF is now 7 days late for me now. Took a test 3 days ago, BFN and now I'm too afraid to do another! Used OPK for the first time this month, all 7 came back negative so i thought i was out this month. Before having the implant AF was like clock work, and the last few cycles since coming off have been too. Don't know what to do DP says wait a few more days before POAS again, I've had a cold so that could make AF late although its never affected it before

Boobear did you use a frer. If not I'd try one of those. I couldn't resist the urge being a week late
