I'm ditto'ing birchy, can't help on the expressing front but something tells me that's got to be a positive sign, right? Or maybe just a bit worrying? I'm not sure. I'd get it looked at if it continues!

Welcome DrGee - fingers crossed for you this cycle! And yes, I hope this is a lucky bus too!

ODog · 17/08/2015 19:04

I'm not massively concerned as a quick bit of googling says you can produce small amounts of bm for up to 2 yrs after stopping. And it's defo bm because I tasted it Just seems weird that it starts up again now!

ETD based on a longer 35 day cycle but in reality, who knows? AF came this month after 20 days Angry and it's the period from hell.

Hi All!

Thanks for the new thread Birchy!

I'm marking my place here but also loitering on the old bus as I'm not due to test until 31st. I'm cd20 and apparently in the fertile window but I'm not feeling it and there is no sign of ewcm so who knows. OPKs still resolutely negative. Will pop back with new stats after an inevitable bfn on the 31st.

3Princes99 · 17/08/2015 23:00

Cycle buddies banana! I'm due my bfp on 1st sept but will be testing a day or two before :) I'm not sure if I've missed ovulation this time as I've had a nearly positive opk and a little bleed Saturday but nothing since. Only time will tell

Kitty sorry for AF, but welcome aboard the new bus Smile

Odog Glad for once Google helped rather than the normal making things worse.

I'm not looking forward to today, having to tell a member of staff that they have failed their probation period, never had to do something like this before, and they are a friend of a friend, plus I get on well with her, so feels really horrible to have to do it Sad

bonkers we are both on cycle 10 - I feel like it should be our turn this month!

kitty sorry af appeared - but at least you are starting to learn the patterns of temps with your body - thats always a good thing right? Plus we get to keep you for another month Smile

Oh no lily that is a horrible thing to have to do but hopefully she is mature enough to know that it is not personal, that it is work!

So i have been getting highs on cbfm for last 6 days now (I think it must be due to clomid) I am expecting/hoping for a peak tomorrow or next day. I do also have a scan tomorrow for my mid cycle look at my ovaries.

Thanks birchy for setting up the bus and doing the stats

MrsNuckyThompson · 18/08/2015 12:37

Hello September bus. Marking my place and will be back with stats soon.

KittyandTeal · 18/08/2015 13:21

Yep, you're right birchy. I'm definitely getting to know my body a bit more and temping this month has been interesting. The temp dip before af is a nice warning.

I'm changing my attitude a bit. This year has been pretty horrific but actually I'm very lucky, I have a lovely DH and a beautiful dd1. I'm not giving up on dc3 but I am going to relax about it a bit and not put too much pressure on for it to happen. Maybe I'm only supposed to have one live child.

AF arrived this morning. Started charting temp, cm and position last weekend after reading TCOYF. kitty I have nothing to compare it to as only starting temping at 2DPO but my temp dropped a little every day for the last four days.

Vikkijayne2507 · 19/08/2015 09:30

I can still get a fair bit of milk out of breasts and I stopped 6 months ago. So I wouldn't worry.

My apps are confusing me 1 says I'm fertile now, opks says no, am on cd 10 other one says later this week. I think they've got confused as last month cycle was short. Dtd anyway this morning and will keep it up (I'm a child I lold at myself then) for week or so.

lilygirl81 · 19/08/2015 09:54

I totally forgot to either temp or do my opk today, though my temp has been all over the place when I have remembered. Do most people have a fairly constant reading? I'm wondering if it is either to do with me often waking up and going back to sleep, but taking a while to get comfy, or if it is down to the medication I am on which does do weird and wonderful things to temp etc.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday

KittyandTeal · 19/08/2015 10:45

Lily my temp is all over the place. I started doing it vaginally just before ov this month and that helped but it's still pretty 'rocky'. I could quite clearly see ov though.

MrsNuckyT · 19/08/2015 10:49

vikki - Apps work on a number of assumptions and averages (eg it will assume your LP is a certain length etc), so I'd be more tempted to go with what the OKPs say as they will show hormone surges. Right, I need to update my stats. God knows when I'll test since I've been all over the place with the last couple of cycles.

Btw - I've had to slightly name change as I locked myself out by forgetting my password then couldn't even remember which email I'd used to set up the account so couldn't change it!

Good luck all! Hopefully the September bus will be lucky!

Where are the stats? Feel like we didn't have many BFPs on the hybrid bus at all!

mrsNuckyT. I'll be 36 on 6/9 ????

MrsNuckyT · 19/08/2015 12:46

How funny weechops - are you scottish too?!

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 19/08/2015 12:47

Hi weechops! Eek how exciting trying to baby #4 - fingers crossed for you that it happens soon.

Think it's really lovely that we're all at different stages in creating/growing/expanding our families. As I'm VERY new to this world, I feel like I'm in safe hands. :D

Yes I'm Scottish Grin

Only 5 more weeks til Dh is home yay!!!
I'm starting the c9 plan next week. My friend did it and lost inches and almost a stone in 9 days! It's a detox/cleanse thing too. Then I'll be ready for the shagathon when he's back Grin

Thisisbonkers · 19/08/2015 13:16

mrsNuckyT, if you only use this section (as I do) you may not be aware that users emails/passwords have been hacked and published. Might be worth heading over to "site stuff" to read about it.

I'm still suffering from AF from hell Sad

MrsNuckyT · 19/08/2015 13:26

this is bonkers - I have seen and have checked (not on the list under either name, thankfully!). Rubbish about AF - bad enough she's here at all, never mind making her presence more terrible by being misbehaved!

Mine's not great either. Very heavy and just feel yuk.

Thisisbonkers · 19/08/2015 13:40

I'm hoping its heavy and horrid as it'll be the last one for a while WinkGrin
