Thought I'd start a November thread for those of us left over from the October thread. (I hope this is ok and I'm not bypassing some sort of forum etiquette).

Here are my stats:
Loki
ttc #2
Cycle 2
CD 14
ETD 6th November

Hi everyone!

I caved and tested this evening at 9dpo, two lines appeared but the second is so faint I had to split the test apart to see it at an angle or under the light, can anyone else see it or am I just wishful thinking?

Wow just catching up and lovely to see all these BFPs. Congratulations crazy, wanting, melvali & lucia and all the best for your pregnancies! Good luck to those getting towards the end of the TWW too, fingers crossed for you.

jaffa getting those long cycles since ttc must be frustrating to say the least. Has anything else changed? Stress @ work or something? Sods law eh!? Hope things settle back into their normal rhythm soon.

Got my closest yet to a +ve OPK today so hoping O's on its way. We've certainly been doing our bit. I'm quite surprised at how my sex drive has improved since starting ttc, it must be like exercise - the more you do, the more you want to do! Anyone else had this?

wantingno2 · 09/11/2015 21:21

Yes I can see a line mummy test again in the morning and let us no mine was like that on 11dpo then I got a strong posative with a first response test and a clear blue digi today today 13dpo and yes quite my sex drive has definitely improved x

quitecrunchy · 09/11/2015 21:24

I think I can see a very faint shadow of a line mummy!

MummyC92 · 09/11/2015 21:37

I think I will test again in the morning with a frer and see if it's got any darker or disappeared!
Eek, fingers crossed!

ScottishLady7 · 09/11/2015 21:49

Fx mummy- I definitely see a line and I usually can't!!

Somnambulator · 09/11/2015 21:56

I can see a faint line too mummy!

wantingno2 · 09/11/2015 22:49

fx for you mummy keep us updated x

OwlinaTree · 10/11/2015 07:11

Morning all. Congrats mummy, are you testing again today?

Af not arrived yet but my dh reckons it's on its way. So I'm expecting an unpleasant surprise later today Sad

AddictedtoGreys · 10/11/2015 07:55

Don't know if this could be a sine but had some cramping last night, and I only usually get cramping just before and just after period but it's not due for 11 days. Could it be implantation maybe? How soon after ovulation does it happen? Hmm

MummyC92 · 10/11/2015 08:47

Morning ladies!

Just done another test and although the line is still faint.. It is pretty clear :D
Why am I now panicking a bit! Lol.

AddictedtoGreys · 10/11/2015 08:58

Congratulations mummy! This bus is a lucky bus Grin Thanks

Somnambulator · 10/11/2015 09:30

Congratulations!

Purplerain067 · 10/11/2015 09:40

Congratulations Mummy!! This is a lucky bus, I hope I'm just as lucky!! Fx!

MrsNuckyT · 10/11/2015 09:43

Congrats on the all the BFPs. AF is due for me on Sunday, so I might cave and do a FR in the next few days. I have a full medical on Thursday and they usually do a smear test, so if there is any chance I'm pregnant I want to know in advance!

God I hope this is my month. 7 cylces is just getting depressing and frankly a bit worrying :(

ThirdThoughts · 10/11/2015 09:56

Congratulations! :)

AF still hasn't shown up yet (though as I was irregular anyway so had no estimate date of when it would arrive). I was sick yesterday morning, but I was trying to swallow tablets which have made me feel sick before so in conclusive. I must get some that are easier to swallow. I've also had a bit of acid reflux/ heart throatburn and fell asleep yesterday afternoon after my flu jab.

I go between feeling certain I am to still thinking how unlikely it is and doubting it again. Friday (when DH and I have agreed to test) seems a long way away.

Worrying a bit about my (very) high BMI. :( Although we'd started trying, I didn't expect to fall pregnant until I'd lost some weight. I'm going to concentrate on eating nutritious food in sensible portions and increasing my fitness (from a very low base) by moving more. Last time between sickness and being sensible I lost weight gradually into the second trimester, then put it on slowly, and was lower than booking in weight within a few weeks of birth. So I'm sure I can stay healthy during pregnancy, but I'm worried about the effect of BMI at booking in on my care and choices for labour.

I do want to be pregnant and will deal with the weight stuff, but I suppose if I'm not it will give me something to focus on improving whilst TTC.

Purplerain067 · 10/11/2015 10:03

Third, I feel exactly the same in regards to my weight, I'm worried it's going to hinder my chances of conceiving but am trying to stay positive. I am like you trying to lose weight too, I guess bmi is just one factor to consider, I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle so fx for us! Flowers

wantingno2 · 10/11/2015 10:04

yeyy congratulations mummy Cake

MiniLop · 10/11/2015 10:30

Please can I jump on this bus? Finally got my first AF after having DS, so now ready to get going again for number 2!
My stats:
MiniLop
Ttc #2
Cycle 1
CD 4
Td ?? No idea how long my cycles are yet!!

Namethattune · 10/11/2015 10:31

Wow, congratulations to all the BFPs! This really is turning out to be a lucky bus!

I want to talk about boobs. As I am now 6dpo, and mine are starting to hurt. I know this is usually a good sign, but mine hurt EVERY month, from ovulation to when af arrives. But normally it starts literally the day after ovulation, so I don't know what's going on this month. I got a strong positive OPK test last Tue lunchtime, so didn't bother testing again after that. Does it mean that I ovulated later than I thought? In which case I probably missed DTD in my fertile window. I don't expect anyon to have any answers, just musing out loud really.

Also, for the first month ever, I had some spotting after af had finished. Normally I spot for a couple of days before af arrives, but this month I had 2 days of spotting on cd 7 & 8, a couple of days after af had finished. What's all that about??

Grace893 · 10/11/2015 12:06

Hi AF arrived today so I am out. Thanks for all the support it really helped in the TWW. Congratulations to everybody with their BFP and hopefully this bus continues to be lucky for everyone else.

jauntyofarabia · 10/11/2015 13:42

Hi there,

I love the BFP reports, keep them coming!

Jaunty
TTC 1
Cycle 2
DPO 9 (I think!)

I am a bit late but can I jump on the bus? I was on the October bus but disappeared as unfortunately my FIL passed away. Has also meant DH and I haven't DTD much this month so I'm not too hopeful I'll get a BFP this cycle.

The only thing that is making me hopeful in terms of symptoms is being totally exhausted (although that might be the stress of the last few weeks catching up on me), and that my nipples are stupidly tender.

Going to test on Sunday if AF hasn't shown up yet.

Loki17 · 10/11/2015 18:28

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see more BFP'S!

wantingno2 · 10/11/2015 20:08

So I've ordered myself some more tests will be here tomorrow so I can watch the line get darker and the weeks indicater go up because I'm absolutely terrified something is going to go wrong given my previous bad luck befor I had my son I can stop myself from thinking it's all going to end some one needs to cyber slap me ??
