OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

Congrats Bessie! Lots of sticky thoughts being sent your way

heading4home · 18/01/2010 09:16

Bessie Congratulations!!!

I am a little blue this morning because I had mega-peak day signs yesterday and so tried to persuade DH that we should DTD. However, he claimed was too tired and although I persuaded him to start he didn't "finish"

Today I think I have ov-ed and it's all over for this month. My only hopes are that either Friday was not too early or tonight is not too late. Dh is annoyed by my obsessing. And so am I.

Must learn patience, apparently it's a virtue

Eadwacer · 18/01/2010 09:18

Whoop Bessie, congratumalations! There seems to be lots of BFPs at the moment....here's hoping there's something in the water!

bessie congratulations!!! that is so exciting, sending lots of sticking vibes.

hello to all the newbies, hows everyone doing today?

nancydrew have you tested? any sign of af?
i've decided i'm NOT testing untill friday if af doesnt show sooner (i'm not sure i've fully managed to convince myself tho!)

digitalgirl · 18/01/2010 13:29

Congrats bessie !!! The first of, hopefully, many bfps on this bus.

Strange but not unusual crampy feelings today. And tmi - lots of cm. Which I seem to recall last time before I got a bfp. But quite possibly means nothing. Or means I'm still yet to ovulate. But I reckon I'm 2dpo. Or not.

UmBongo · 18/01/2010 13:41

Hello everyone - I'm still riding the buses! Some familiar faces here, I'll settle down at the back with the last of the christmas biscuits and a whole tin of roses if anyone else wants some at the back! Good luck to all the testers at the front and congratulations to bessie the first BFP of the bus.

TTC#2, cycle 20, ucl 31-34, cd 1

Can someone add me next time the list is done please.

UmBongo · 18/01/2010 13:56

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time Nymph, I hope that your dh manages a better sample after ofsted have gone away! My dh hasn't yet done any samples. I have had to start telling my friends that we are ttc as some of them found me having blubs for no apparent reason. Also 3 of them are pregnant again.

GOOD LUCK everyone!

Lorelai · 18/01/2010 14:17

Congrats Bessie! And welcome UmBongo.

I'm probably reading a bit too much into this, but what is the earliest symptoms can realistically begin? I've been feeling slightly nauseous since last night and not sure why.

stuffedmk · 18/01/2010 15:04

Just adding UmBongo as requested.
Pass the roses

Have ordered some ov sticks and basal thermometer, just want to feel like I am doing everything that I can this time.
DH made a vague suggestion that I try and find out my most fertile days so I will take that as permission to be completely obsessed lol.
Might have to hide some of the obsessiveness though or I will scare him

OP posts:
nickymorris · 18/01/2010 15:15

Hmmm

Trying to decide if this is a symptom. The last two cycles i've felt pregnant but hven't been. This month I don't feel pregnant....

Have told myself I'm not allowed to test until the weekend....

nymphadora · 18/01/2010 17:51

Hi to the roses umbongo

(everytime I read your name I sing the song in my head )

addictedtomn · 18/01/2010 18:28

lol, syuffedmk, i wish my dh would give me permission to obsess, he just says i need to obsess less. (bearing in mind i dont temp, do ov tests or check for ewcm i just count days and go by guess work!) i'm not sure how to obsess less!

nickymorris your post just actually made me laugh out loud! do you want to test with me on friday? (obviously not with me with me, but thats when i'm testing and i am going to hold my resolve untill then!

umbongo your name actually reminds me of that awfull sketch they did on xtra factor this year with the girl form umbongo. i'm now picturing you as that girl who was walking around looking for an umbongo.

LadyBee · 18/01/2010 19:55

Ooh a graduate! ding ding!! Congratulations on the BFP Bessie, lots of positive thoughts coming your way from me -- I hope we get lots more of these as the bus winds its way through.

bunnygirl80 · 18/01/2010 21:12

Congrats on the BFP Bessie. Hopefully you're the first of many on this bus - looking at the size of the bus surely statistically there should be loads.

UmBongo I have to admit that every time I see you name the song pops into my head too!Thanks for the roses

QueenFee · 18/01/2010 22:06

bessie congrats and sticky vibes!

Makes it seem so real (I think I am still a little in denial about the whole TTC thing though)

Had a mad moment last night when I imagined I had twins thanks to whoever it was who told me I was 9 times more likely to conceive twins whilst BF In a normal MN obsessive manner I googled it and now wished I hadn't! How on earth would I get by with a 6 year old 4 year old 1 year old and Newborn twins.

Still the thought of those lovely little babies awwww

You see I couldn't say that to anyone else they really would think I was mad! (Not that you don't)

umbongo can I have a caramel cup and a strawberry one please (still eating for 2 [buscuit] [buscuit])

BUnderTheBonnet · 18/01/2010 22:29

I've given upo this month. This must be AF - it's gone on too long for anything else.

Shuffling off to the back of the bus, near the Roses.

Stuffedmk - we're practically cycle buddies!

underthebonnet - sorry.

bessie congrats - heres to a happy healthy regnancy.

Ilove I ovulate really late so unlikely I would get a +ve even on the day AF late.

Plus I'm overseas at the moment and a HPT costs about 25quid. I am back in UK next week so will save my pennies!

Armi · 19/01/2010 06:59

Pops head over top of newspaper Congratulations, Bessie - that's fab news!

I can feel AF stirring within me, like an awakening beast...and the bloody witch is early!!!

addictedtomn · 19/01/2010 09:00

can add to the list of symptoms that obviously mean i'm pregnant??

well i'm exausted this morning, and it doesnt have anything to do with not gettign to bed till gone 1am, i going to the toilet all the time during the night, 3 times i woke up desprate for the toilet last night! (that one i really cant explain) and my boobs arent that sore, which means i'm pregnant because they get so sore every month its very painfull, so the change in them obviously means i'm pregnant...right???

lol

Pah. The 'not pregnant' feeling was correct, rather than reverse logic. AF came early/this morning.

But the good news is that my magic spreadsheet tells me that next cycle will still give me an October 2010 baby so I can stay on this nice bus, I just move to the very back!

Ah, symptom spotting...

Having very vivid and frankly weird but lucid dreams. Very thirsty. Loo trips about 8 times a day. Boobs a bit sore. Am a bloaty fat pig too. But that's nothing to do with my new pash for spring rolls! Oh, roll on Sunday. Am v pleased with myself today though as I has a pg test in my hand and put it back on the shelf instead of taking it to the till. Yay!

Congratulations Bessie, hope you'll have some company soon.
