Congrats Emily and odog!!!

ODog · 29/08/2015 18:24

Congratulations emily, we could be on the same antenatal bus if all goes well! Just at my parents for dinner and I'm wondering how I'm going to turn down a glass of wine. Not sure they will buy that I've suddenly decided I don't even have one if I have to drive home. I don't mind people knowing early but I'm not even certain myself!

Spotsondots · 29/08/2015 19:49

Congratulations emily and odog fingers crossed I might join you soon. Not tested yet as by previous cycles AF could still show up so I'm planning on trying to hold out for another week or so...

weechops · 29/08/2015 21:16

Oh congratulations emily and odog !!!

obliviated you must be so frustrated!

ODog · 29/08/2015 22:55

That's exciting spots. Fx for you. DH out for the night so DS and I have the bed to ourselves. Can hardly believe this snoozing baby could be a big brother in 9 months. Will poas tomorrow and buy a cb digi if getting a decent-ish line.

obsessedlex · 30/08/2015 07:56

Wow lots of BFP's congrats to all of you.

As for me, AF turned up yesterday - I guess I'm relieved to know that I'm out for this cycle, and also that it's amazing what your mind can convince you of when you want something so badly!

I've bought the CB combined ov tests from eBay with one missing as the previous owner only used one before she conceived! I'm hoping it's a lucky pack! It was a bit cheaper too Blush
Happy Sunday to you all xx

Ps Does anybody know what's going on with the iPhone app? X

Vikkijayne2507 · 30/08/2015 09:39

Aww yay to the bfps, my two apps are telling me different days I ovd one says im 6 days post ov which meant I prob missed my chance but th eother says it was ok. oh well. im due a BFP or BFN between the 4th and 7th of sept, temp staying high so heres hoping

Sunshinegirl2015 · 30/08/2015 10:45

Hello! I posted in his thread a while back - due AF 19th Sept.

I always ovulate on or around CD20.

However this month I started taking evening primrose oil and robitussin to help with EWCM. I'm cycle day 12 currently and noticing lots of EWCM! Really unusual for me. Cervix is high soft and open and getting a faint line on Internet cheapie opk's.

My cycles are pretty regular too. Have been ttc since coming off pill at new year.

Has anyone any experience of ovulating earlier whilst taking EPO? And did anyone notice their cervical fluid smelt of robitussin after taking it? Haha sorry if tmi.

I usually always get a spot on my chin around ovulation which hasn't happened yet this month.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 30/08/2015 10:51

Where is my period?!?

I'm getting stressed about this now. This is CD 34, and no sign of AF. My longest cycle previously has been 31 days, and 29 or 30 is more usual.

My temp went below the cover line yesterday, and a bit lower again today. I've taken dozens of Internet cheapie tests (and one CB digi) and there isn't even a ghost of a positive to be seen. But no AF. I just want it to get a move on - I'm worrying about it now.

weechops · 30/08/2015 11:22

sunshine I used EPO to try and bring forward ovulation when I was ttc#3 because dh was due to be working away. It brought it forward by 2 days and that was the month I conceived!! And yes, tons of EWCM.

ChatEnOeuf · 30/08/2015 11:55

Congrats ODog and Emily (and hope the weather picks up)!

YouandMe how frustrating for you. My last pregnancy I eventually got a BFP on CD36, having been 28-32 days all my life - even then it was a squinter. Not out yet.

Think the app is offline as it wasn't secure, Lex?

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 30/08/2015 14:34

AF has arrived. I'm relieved, tbh. I haven't worked out quite was going on though. Will see how things go with the Clearblue Monitor this time round. I think I really need to relax - this is only going to be cycle 3! It doesn't help that I started a new job a few weeks ago and I'm quite stressed generally.

Anyway, updated stats now:

Hi all,
Can I join in? This sounds like a friendly bus and I'm hoping it's going to be lucky!

Cycle#: 10
ETD: 5 Sept (but will be away so will wait til 10 Sept if no period)

Trying to stay positive. Each month I add something new to my TTC regime. Currently using OPKs, temping and stalking mumsnet, and have a day 21 blood test booked and AMH test.

Day 21 was actually Friday, but I'll have the bloods done on Tuesday which will be 10DPO. Will it be a waste of time?

I am terrified about the AMH result. Has anyone else had this done?

Just a quick hi to everyone from our holiday in Devon. Arrived earlier and bought pregnancy tests and women's supplies with me just incase. Af due Tuesday at the latest. Bfn this morning so not holding out much hope. Here's to a good holiday anyway.

Congratulations to Emily and odog. Fingers crossed for everyone else

Laura103 · 30/08/2015 19:12

Another month. I'm charting temps and so far finding I haven't ovulated- very frustrating. Didn't consider what long term use of the pill would do when we wanted children. Not worried about symptom spotting now though- got used to my 28 ish day cycles!

Evening all. Big friendly bus welcome to the newest passengers ????

Feeling a bit nauseous here on day 37. It might just be tiredness - we've had a full on weekend with DS 2nd birthday. Bought a twin pack of clear blue tests today, one digi, one not. Might test tomorrow morning if I am feeling brave enough. I didn't get any sickness with DS so trying not to read into this too much... Eek!

PipeDownSmallFry · 30/08/2015 19:51

Hello newbies, also really hoping this is a lucky bus.

Laura, isn't the pill a rollercoaster!? Was perfect throughout my 20s but has been almost a constant nightmare for the past 4 years. Grrrrrr.

CD 27 for me, lots of period type pains since yesterday, started bleeding very lightly this afternoon (sorry tmi) but seems to have stopped again now. No idea what's going on, just hoping it's all still positive.

Obliviated · 31/08/2015 01:06

No AF yet, and another BFN.

I used a Sainabury test today, you could see the evap line before I even pee'd on it. Awful. Google tells me they are notorious for evaps/false positives, but they were only £3.50 so not a big loss.

This photo is of an evap line. It could so easily get someone's hopes up! (it looks a bit battered as I pulled it out of the plastic)

As the school bus sets of for a new school term, this bus is heading directly to BFP - September bus welcome aboard
Spotsondots · 31/08/2015 07:48

BFN here this morning on CB digi (turns out they were both digital in the pack). I'm annoyed at myself for even testing now. Stupid long cycles.

Banana79 · 31/08/2015 08:27

Hi eveyone
Welcome new bussers.

BFN this morning. AF due tomorrow

SharyBobbins · 31/08/2015 08:50

Hello fellow passengers!
My aim this month is to find out if I do ovulate sometime during my 43 day cycle! Got a +ve OPK & high on CB monitor on Weds, +ve OPK & peak on CB on Thurs, -ve OPK & peak on CB on Fri. Temperature dropped on Thursday morning but had gone up by 0.1/0.2 degrees each day since so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Booked in for "day 21" bloods this Thursday (day 33 in my case) which (fx) will be either 6 or 7dpo. Good luck everyone, hoping to see more BFPs soon Smile

star1980 · 31/08/2015 09:10

Hey Shary, with those temps it looks like you ovulated on Thursday and have had a slow rise like I have. Just 0.1 deg C each day but a definite shift when compared with pre-ovulation. Hope your progesterone test confirms. I have mine on tmrw which will be 10dpo so I hope the levels haven't dropped by then.
Good luck!

Thisisbonkers · 31/08/2015 10:06

Congratulations to the BFPs Smile

I've been OPKing but so far, CD18, no positive Confused I've been using the clear blue ones first this in the morning. Up until today, there has been a fairly strong (or certainly visible) negative when I've ejected the stick. Far lighter this morning. Don't know if that means I'm not going to ovulate or not? Not sure whether or not to buy any more, they're pretty pricey and I have tons of cheapy ones.

SharyBobbins · 31/08/2015 10:28

Thanks Star, good luck for tomorrow xx

Thisisbonkers is it the CB monior your using or the smiley face sticks?
