The October Bus - hoping for lots of BFPs and Summer babies!!

[Writerwannabe83]

Hi guys, just starting the October bus.

I'm almost 33, have a DS (2.5 years) and am now trying for DC2. I caught pregnant on cycle 1 but unfortunately had an early miscarriage and am now entering cycle 5.

My current situation is that DH has been changing his mind over the last 12 months to wanting to try for another, then not wanting to, then wanting to etc and it's been very difficult. We have now come to the compromise that we can actually try up until next August but if nothing has happened by then we stop TTC.

I'm on CD3 now, I usually ovulate around days 17/18 and have cycles of around 31/32 days.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Next weekend if AF is still not here.

Mouse well done on the weight loss. It's not easy. I'm 5" 8, size 16 and have a BMI of 27. I know yours is slightly higher but they didn't mention it. You'll probably find that the weight loss has worked in your favour. Women tend to get pregnant quickly after weight loss. I guess it kicks your body in to gear.

Lousy you are v brave. I don't think I could last that long. It takes every ounce of strength for me to wait until the day before AF.

Sk1pper a bit of Chinese never hurt anyone.

Thanks for keeping on top of the stats sk1pper - you're doing a great job!!

I'm currently bathing my toddler and looking forward to him being asleep so I can watch last nights GBBO. My DH is away tonight with work so I have the house to myself - bliss!

I'm not feeling at all pregnant. If I don't have a squinter tomorrow then I'm going to accept it hasn't happened this cycle

Thanks for the stats update sk1pper!

Hope you get a squinter tomorrow writer.

Well Ursula came up trumps and found me some nice, well-fitting bras. I was impressed!

Lousy how have you got the will power to wait 2days until the weekend?!
I've got everything crossed for a few more BFPs by Monday. There's a few lined up

Fx writer, for a squinter tomorrow!

Having light cramps and got a +opk today so expecting ov tomorrow or Saturday. I have a CT scan tomorrow so glad it's timed to coincide with ov and not when I'm in the tww!

My boobs are still painful and went to London today on the train and I did not travel well, I sometimes get travel sick and felt nauseous the whole way there and back! I was feeling hot a lot today too, but ovia said it's too early for that to be a symptom! Going to try and hold out till Sunday, but might try Saturday, although I'll only be 9dpo.

I know I said it the other day, but I'm even more convinced I had a chemical pregnancy last month, but dismissed. I had some similar symptoms, what looked like spotting at day 10, but then ended on full on period 5 days later. My boobs didn't hurt last month though and they are definitely looking plumper!

Got my fingers crossed for you writer!

My bleeding seems to have stopped entirely this afternoon - hoping beyond hope it continues this way. I went back to my chart when I conceived DS and I got my BFP 11dpo which would be this Saturday/Sunday. Still going to test tomorrow if no AF just in case. Zero willpower.

Good luck to those testing tomorrow.

I forgot DH is playing football tonight so I need to wait until he's home from that to DTG... getting impatient!

I'm not going to test until Sunday morning now, and that's only cos I want a drink that eve. I'm same as you writer really don't think this is the one.

Mum like I said 2 days after pos ov test I had untouchable sore nipples with #1. I don't want to get your hopes up but my symptoms really did start that early.

sk1pper that really is some impressive data collection. There's so many of us.

FX for all those who are waiting for AF.

I had ov pains today but a negative test. I should get a positive ovulation test on Saturday. I realised then that my AF is always 14 days after my positive ovulation tests. I think that I get positive while I'm ovulating. Is this even possible? I thought it I had at least 24 hours before I actually ovulate. My cycle is different from #1 so I'm thinking should I DTD the day before I get a possitive ovulation test? Does this make sense to anyone?

mrspositive last cycle I got a positive OPK on CD12 & morning of CD13. I know due to charting that I ovulated CD13 so you can get a positive and ovulate the same day. I think the positive indicates ovulation in 12-36 hours so depending when you get it, it can be that day.

Forgot to say, thanks for the stats sk1pper

No probs everyone, I was doing it every day but it's getting so long I'm just going to do it a couple of times a week so it doesn't spam the thread.

Purple I'm glad that made sense. I think I'll DTD Saturday afternoon then. Shall take DD to the park so that she'll nap and then we'll use that time wisely.

Sounds like a plan mrspositive It could also be that you ovulate the day after and have a 13 day luteal phase?

Purple you could be right.

Good luck to everybody testing tomorrow and over the weekend, cant wait for some BFP pic-porn

Ha I'm waiting til the weekend after this. So AF will be 10 days late. Then I'll test! I hate seeing bfn and I saw so many last month when I was convinced I was pg.

Thanks Sk1pper you are doing a great job with the stats!

Writer fx for BFP tomorrow.

I'm small chested but my boobs feel massive. I had to take my bra off when I got home yesterday as my breasts felt massive and really hot!

I think i am going to be out this month... day 30 today and getting period pains although still no AF. It must be a really long cycle. I remember from before that my cycles were variable in length but i always had a 14 day luteal phase. If i am still the same 6 years and 2 kids later (!) then i must have ovulated really late this cycle meaning we DTD (G!) at totally the wrong time!
I have told DH that we have to 'concentrate' this month!! i have stocked up on OPKs and EPO, got the number of a reflexologist and i am ready to go!!!

I just need AF to come so i can start again.....
Good luck to everyone else, i am looking forward to hearing the news xx

Mother can reflexology help fertility? That sounds much better than having needles put in me.

Feeling a bit crampy and achey now. My period is due on Monday but it's quite normal for me to get some aches and pains a few days before. I wish there was a less stressful way of finding out if you're pregnant or not than P'ingOAS and the mental torture it involves...

sk1pper - thanks for the updates your good.

So I'm 4dpo and I'm having lots of creamy white discharge which is new to me. Is that good?

Writer, try to relax, the symptoms are the same aren't they?

Tonight I was tagged in a school pic on facebook. Seems the majority of my school friends took their 10 yr olds to open night. Well that was a stark reminder that I'm 33 in 2 months and haven't even started my family. Feeling very meh going to bed now.
