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!!!

not the exciting stick not nice the exciting stick. Skipper just been reading the chapter in this book about positive thinking. Not bothered with it before because I'm quite the pescimist, but as I said this month is the beginning of a different mind set. It says that if you believe you'll get pregnant you have a higher hae of being pregnant. I know this is hard and when you've seen a million BFN it strips your hope. It says that instead of saying if I get pregnant you should say when I get pregnant.

I'm doing that this cycle for sure. It was our most relaxed cycle to date because of the wedding but I've got a good feeling about this one. And if not I recon I can get it before Christmas. Who wants to join me in this bet? :) we can all do it. And if you get a BFP this year, we all buy a gorilla.

Actually I've changed my mind again, feel like a wall of PMS just hit me. Lol but I'm sure before Christmas is a feasible aim

I'm with you sk1pper! We need more bpfs on this thread, and I promise to buy my baby a gorilla!

I'm in on that bet Sk1pper

Skipper I literally have everything crossed for this month. If we get our BFPs this month then we'll have our 12 week scan just before Christmas. That would be a fab (and cheap) gift for everyone. I'm trying very hard to stay positive.

I'm currently having right side pains. Also had left side pains yesterday. Maybe I'm in for a double ovulation.

Twins for you too! Twins for everyone!

Feeling quite sick this afternoon. If I'm not pregnant then I either react badly to vitamin B complex or I'm coming down with something.

I've had a bit more spotting today but no AF. I spotted loads when pregnant with DS - almost every day from before BFP to about 11 weeks - so it's not necessarily a bad sign. I just want to know now one way or the other! You'd think AF was weeks overdue the way I've been overthinking (and overtesting), I'm only bloody 9/10dpo.

A contact lens case! Its about the same size as a film canister. I find its the perfect size for catching a good sized sample without running the risk of spillages or splashback. Its also got a handy lid in case
I have to evacuate the bathroom for any reason. A quick in and out mid-stream and I'm good to go! What does everyone else use?

skipper I'll take that bet. If anyone has twins though they have to sponsor a Gorilla for life as a nod to the Gods.

I love how much gorillas have now become part of our lives!!

And what we pee in!!

Skipper don't now, there's a family history of twins!

Flapper I'll sponsor a gorilla if the Gods bless me with one baby.

Napping I've been reading up on B6 today. I think it's the reason why Pregnancare mess up my periods and make me feel unwell. Or you could be with child

I really hope we get some BFPs this weekend. Good luck everyone and happy DTG to anyone else in the same boat as me!

Happy Weekend

That's interesting MrsP. I've taken Pregnacare before without any issue but this is a higher dose so who knows. I'm def not taking it tomorrow! Will see if I feel better without it.

I've actually been thinking about what I can pee in. I might have to hide a dedicated pee bowl in the bathroom.

My OH was horrified when he realised the White pot in the bathroom was my testing pee pot. He was like "what if I drank from it without realising it?" And I'm just like "in what situation would you need to drink from it? " and then he stares at me and walked away.

Ha ha sk1pper!

I still have the pee pots the MWs use from when I was pregnant with DD so I use one of them. It's the perfect vessel!

Napping from what I understand if your cycle is 'normal' then you don't need it but for those with Fertility problems it can 'fix' them. You can take up to 800mg (don't know if that's high or not). In studies it's been known to correct fertility problems allowing women who shouldn't to conceive.

I pee in one of my DS's little plasticine tubs

My gut feeling is saying it hasn't happened this month. When I was pregnant with DS and when I was pregnant earlier this year I just knew I was pregnant before even getting my BFP and I'm definitely not feeling like that this month

Ladies, sorry to have been mia this bus. I have been lurking. When I hopped on at the beginning we were into cycle 11 of ttc I think and I just had had enough this month. I'm temping, doing oaks, etc but just getting nowhere. Have started tests through the GP who has been brilliant even though I already have one ds (19mo) and just waiting on the results.

Well...I'm currently 12dpo and fell asleep at lunchtime on the sofa (not something I do normally) also didn't like the smell of my expensive perfume this morning...

So I thought I'd do a test...

Am I dreaming or is that a squinter??

misstiggi that's a definite line! congratulations!

Yay Tiggi!!!

I see it too congrats

Definite line! Congratulations tiggi!

Yep not even a squinter, it's clear as mud - congrats xx

Misstiggi congratulations, that's more than a squinter
