New bus ladies!

Hi everyone! Cycle day 27 for me, huge temp drop below coverline so think that's it for me and AF will arrive today or tomor. at least she will be out the door by Xmas day. I'm going to try pick myself up swiftly now and look forward to stepping on the January bus!!!

jessie oh I didn't realise I had mentioned Scotland is it on my profile?! It's actually totally fine where I am! Quite mild actually!!

victoria sorry it's been so tough for you..2015 will be the year of the BFP! Positive thoughts to you and sorry it's been so hard.. I have chronic health conditions so I continually have to miss out on events etc so I understand that part. Really have everything crossed this next year will bring you lots of luck

Rainy good luck with the spotting!!! Fx

Ninja my cycle buddy! Yes! Great attitude! Positivity and all that! Trying to think of it as its really not that long to wait to try again now. Glad you had a good night out! Sorry for the bfn but new year will bring us BFPs! I know it!

Boo hope you get some signs of something soon! The waiting is tough!

autumn good luck with tests. Docs have suspected I have endometriosis for couple years now too. Just gonna go with the TTC and see what happens.

Thanks sparkly. Autumn it sure is tough. I probably don't help myself with refusing to POAS. I just can't take the thought of another BFN so I've gone into denial I'm guessing its just a strange cycle because the 7 days i used OPKs they cam back negative or very faint lines. Saying that i guessed on the dates to try them so i could have ov'd earlier or later then that. Am i right in thinking having a bad cold can mess with cycles? I've never been late like this before, even with a cold but it could explain it

Sparkly and Jesse I am originally from Scotland but now living down South

Sorry sparkly that you think you might be out, Spotting seems to have eased off again ,God knows what is going n

Don't know about cycles and ilness boo maybe you had an anovulatory month? It happens :-(

I'm wondering about endo, could explain the pain and bleeding I get but the fertility doc said they don't look into it if it doesn't look like it blocks my tubes. Scans show my tubes are clear.

Sorry about your temp drop sparkly, join the waiting for af club :-( no more spotting for me today yet but intermittent cramps. Still have nausea too, bleurgh

ah found you!
I haven't been on much this cycle, taking a relaxed, Christmas approach to ttc. Anyway.....af arrived right on time yesterday. I'm feeling ok about it as now I can enjoy a few Christmas drinks
We are going to hit ttc hard next cycle!!
I'm off to the January bus. Hoping to not see many of you there! Good luck everyone.

Sparkly only Scottish people say "outwith", it's a dead giveaway! [Grin]

Afternoon all! Cd23 here and not much happening after all the ttc confusion last week. At a guess I'd say I'm 3 dpo if I ov'd at all so nothing to do now but wait wait wait, although I know deep down it's unlikely we've managed it this month. Finding it hard not to symptom spot anyway though lol even though it's so early, got very crampy tummy but nothing out of the ordinary.

Bit of a crappy day today, weather is grim, had a massive fight with DP about stupid stuff. Got friends over for dinner & wine later so I'm just contemplating going out for a run in the wind to clear my head.

Boo I might be wrong but I thought common illnesses like cold & flu don't interfere with cycles (just been reading taking charge of your fertility and I'm sure it touched on the subject of illness ) maybe like you say you've got your dates wrong? I've messed up with mine so know how frustrating it is.

rainy fingers crossed your spotting is a good sign!

Was gonna say all my signs of af coming have vanished but I've just been to the loo and got brown cm again. This happened last month and then I was woken up at 4am by massive cramps and full on flow :-( don't want that to happen again, I need my sleep!

Fx victoria it's not AF. And if it is that you aren't woken up.

I had bad cramps earlier but they've disappeared. Still feel like AF is en route. God I think I can honestly say I'm driving myself mad this 2ww. Aaaaaaaaaargh! I just want to know. I always feel a lot calmer when AF arrives as at least I know the games up for that particular cycle.

On another mini rant note, I've waited in all flipping day for a delivery which still hasn't turned up. In the last 5 minutes the tracker has changed from out to delivery to still sat in the wretched warehouse with no eta for delivery. I'm out and about tomorrow, no doubt the sodding thing will arrive then and I'll have no chance of getting it re delivered before Christmas.

I need lots of tonight.

DizZy, sorry you fell out with dh, hope you make it up and enjoy your evening.

Genni, I also hate the end of the 2ww, I can be quite calm and rational until the a day before af arrives and then I turn into a nutter
So annoying about your parcel! Hope it arrives when you're home.

Victoria, sounds like you're in the same boat as Genni. Hope af doesn't arrive in the middle of the night!

Here's a pic of my Christmas Tree

Evening all - we had DH sperm results back today and everything is coming in very low luckily they said they'll re-test and it was just a fluke. But it feels like another step backwards. Going to get him pumped with vitamins and a healthy diet ASAP ( luckily he doesn't smoke or drink) But other problem is that he's on anti depressants and we keep hearing mixed thoughts on how they can affect the sperm. First gp said it wouldn't and new Gp said it definitely would. Has anyone had any experience or thoughts on this?? x

Last day at work tomorrow for two weeks - bloody teachers we have it so easy!

Still no idea what's going on as opks were getting darker and darker but not as dark as control line and then today stark white. Either I missed it or God knows what?! But I was doing them twice a day. May buy some clearblue ones next month see if they are any clearer

Never knew how frustrating this whole thing was going to be!! I know I'm only in month one and so have no right to complain but I'm someone who needs to be in control!

Genni deliveries are the worst. I particularly hate it when they claim they've been but haven't!!

Aww spinning love your tree!!!

Genni totally hear you. I am officially TWW mad!! I just want AF to properly show or not so I can know for sure!!! Limbo land is noooo fun!

Jessie ha ha you are so right! Hilarious! Are you in Scotland too?!

Rainy sorry things confusing! Hope it becomes clearer soon! Oh and Hello fellow Scot!

Victoria sounds like me too- I get terrible period pain but not sure if it relates to other health conditions. Strange that they said they don't look into it if tubes ok.. I have been offered the exploratory surgery so many times I've lost count! I wanted to start TTC first see how I go. Good the spotting stopped but cramps ain't fun! Ah one day to go for you hopefully!

So it's CD 27 for me. Usually I'm
A 27/28 day cycle. Big cramps today, really tired, lots of nausea, and huge temp drop below coverline so that will be it then! Usually by now I would have full flow but only brown bleeding still. So frustrating! Just get on with it AF!!! Ahhh . Sorry. Rant over

So, lots of impending -af- bfps around here. So many of you due at the same time! I really hope at stays away for all of you.

Officially in the tww here now- 3dpo and counting. Determined not to symptom spot this cycle (yeah right!).

Thinking of making earl grey truffles today to give to friends and colleagues. Send like a good use of my time.

Another day has passed & no chance to grab a test. I'm shattered so still feeling pregnant!!!
Just wanted to wish all those testing tomorrow Good Luck. X

Oh, strikethrough fail!

Good luck MaMaPo with not symptom spotting, i say every month that i won't but i always do!!!

Good luck to all the ladies poas tomorrow, will have fx for you

I'm just popping on to see how everyone is doing, I'm so pleased for the BFPs, especially the ladies who have been waiting far too long for their bfp to come along. Super excited for Blueberry and Frolic, I wish all of you super sticky beans and really easy pregnancys!!

After my BFP at the beginning of this bus sadly I found out last week that my pregnancy is ectopic so I have had to have an injection to stop the pregnancy. It could have been worse but now I have to wait until March to TTC again, I really hope that none of you ladies are around by the time I'm jumping back on the buses.

Oh Bluesky, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Take care of yourself and I hope that when March comes round you'll soon have your sticky bfp

Oh bluesky I am so sorry to read that. I was actually wondering how you were getting on. Sad news. I hope you are getting lots of rest and tlc

Oh bluesky I'm so sorry to hear your news, big hugs x

blue hope you can improve your dp sperm. Mine started taking wellman and his was much improved 3 months later. I worry about my dh coz he takes a LOT of meds for his chronic asthma inc steroids which aren't good :-(

Still in limbo land.... Felt a gush when I was out at Xmas party (tmi) but popped to loo and nothing. One of my workmates asked if I was preg coz I ordered a glass of water instead of wine coz it "wasn't like me". Luckily I could say that I have work tomorrow! Its true!

Good luck on d day tomorrow fellow cycle buddies!

bluesky I'm so sorry, that's awful news. Sending Hope both your physical and mental recovery is gentle. Really hope you get a sticky BFP in March and your DP thoroughly looks after you this xmas.

So sorry bluesky
