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

Sorry to see so many have left the bus the past few days
So many are leaving us. Nov Bus must be standing room only by now.

Another 10 days before I can tell either way...not convinced it'll be a BFP tho!

Well I will be due on Thursday and will probably test that day, unless AF arrives. Have had an odd headache yesterday and today (as last month) and yesterday evening had a sharp pain in my right side fir about 2 minutes, but otherwise nothing odd. Am not feeling the PMS but we shall see.

Plus not had my day 21 blood test back yet, who knows what that will say!

Have a really busy weekend though so either way will keep me distracted - cannot sit and mope or moon as we have a huge group of friends coming to stay for the weekend.

Fingers crossed for some good BFPs this week and next!

Loujalou · 01/02/2010 20:31

I thought I would add myself to the bus. There needs to be some more BFPs. Mine included, no offence but am looking forward to joining the antenatal threads one day... Its been long enough.

Think I gained a day somewhere, day 21 is definately Weds as I have my 21 day blood then.

jennimoo · 01/02/2010 20:52

Well it's a week since my BFP and apart from being bloated and gassy (which isn't entirely unusual ) and tiny twinges in nipples I don't have any symptoms, so those of you with no symptoms that doesn't mean you aren't pg!
Good luck to those of you still waiting
Jenni x

Fairygodmother1 · 01/02/2010 20:53

Nymph, you're def a day ahead of me hon. I'm on 19 today!

Hope everything is ok with DH? Schools def seem to be going through it at the mo!

mumofzac · 01/02/2010 22:30

Thought AF had arrived yesterday with cramping and tiny bit of pink cm on wiping. But that is still all I have got so far. Day 30, so not getting my hopes up too much - normally 28/29 days. Off to bed now. Really hope AF does not arrive overnight but think she is on her way. Is it too late for ovulation bleed, and is it meant to be brown rather than very light pink? Any hope ??!!

mumofzac · 01/02/2010 22:33

Forgot to say good luck to Lunatic Fringe, and others testing in the nest few days. Come on October bus (whooping cheers etc)...

bunnygirl80 · 02/02/2010 06:38

Sorry to all those who have left the bus recently.

And good luck to those coming up to testing - we need some more BFPs to make the grads list look a bit more respectable

Got stupid AF overnight so off to the November bus. See some of you there x

Nymphadora · 02/02/2010 19:57

fairygodmother that means I booked the test for the wrong day [grr] It will be ok wont it? Not seeing a lot of DH at the moment, he is usually home late, I'm either at home exhausted (need to get to the bottom of my meds) or late in myself, then quick tea, then sleep. Going to be a long run I think

liahgen66 · 02/02/2010 20:29

Just popped on to say hello to some old faces

louja and umbongo and nymph If I was very very lucky this cycle I would be due 1st November (dh's birthday, is it a sign? ) so could in theory pop on here every now and again.

Just wanted to say nymph that when I had my progesterone bloods done and I was a day out, it actually did make a difference, ie they might look a bit low, and so had to repeat them. Might be worth giving docs a call and asking as if it matters it could be a month wasted and we all know how precious time and cycles are.

Good luck everyone.

Fairygodmother1 · 02/02/2010 20:37

Nymph I'm sure it'll be fine cos if day 21 had fallen on a sunday you'd have had to go on the monday! But give them a call to make sure you can't change it.

Poor DH. Hope it eases a little soon.

digitalgirl · 02/02/2010 20:50

Sorry mumofzac

Nothing going on over here. Do not even have pre-af symptoms today. No cramps, no back ache, no nothing.

Well, I've been feeling like AF is about to come and then it hasn't for three days now. This is driving me crazy. Every evening about now I get 'the feeling', I spend most of the night dashing upstairs to check what's going on. And nothing is...so far.
I don't work tomorrow, so I might try another test, assuming AF doesn't appear overnight. Feeling more and more like it will as I type though. Oh, so annoying. When it didn't turn up last night I was thinking...well, maybe I was luckly after all? but now. Buggeration.

Loujalou · 03/02/2010 09:20

Lia I am not sure we want you here , if I move over you might be able to fit in. Here's some chocolate biscuits and nice ice cream.

We need some more bfps. All seems a bit subdued on the bus. I think we need another talk about Ann Summers and secret drawers, that usually lightens the mood. I think I need a visit there myself . Not sure what to get....

I am not testing til next Weds as that is when the witch is due. Have tested early before and its all led to tears.

stuffedmk · 03/02/2010 09:32

Well FF is telling me I ovulated on Sunday so three days after last SWI (presuming it's correct that is )
Not impossible, but I will try not to get hopes up....yeah right, who am I kidding lol.
Have loads of pee sticks so will prob test from 10 dpo. I would say I will wait until I am late but that will never happen so instead I am giving into my poas addiction.
So at 3 dpo that's a week to wait then
anyone

liahgen66 · 03/02/2010 11:46

Thanks for welcome, budge up lou Yes please to choccy biccy.

So we SWI for the first time since I got pregnanty last night and to be honest it was a bit dull and Oh god here we go again. ( I had been paraniod about mc as i mc the day after we had sex last time it happened, so it had been 7 wks)Turns out I needn't have been paranid sonext time am just gonna have sex for fun once we get a bfp anf hope for the best.

So was actually wondering what I could do to liven it up for tomorrow, (we going for the every other day method) Had just put away all our naughty stuff few days before I found out about this mmc so will have to have a look I think. ( I know the mask hasn't had an outing for a while) and found a dvd stuffed in the back of a drawer that we haven't sen for a while.

Just wanna put ome fun back into it. Can't be wrong can it?

stuffed try not to worry about it, these little swimmers can surprise us when we least expect it. When I fell pregnant this time, I had been off the temping, ov sticks etc for a couple months and just had sex every other day. That was when it worked, so whether a combination of relaxing a bit and regalar not not too frequent sex who knows but something worked. Good luck to you.

I most certainly will not be testing early this month, this is the new relaxed me. (somebody will have to remoind me of this about cd23 )

Come on ladies, bfp's to get the ball rolling. x

Loujalou · 03/02/2010 12:13

at mask. I think you need things to liven it up as otherwise it gets a bit dull. Me personally like something a bit but not too kinky it feels like you are having sex for fun and not just to make a baby.

Lia I will sit on your hands for you on day 23. Am on day 21 and no testing til day 27.....

QandA · 03/02/2010 14:11

Hello, can I join?

I decided late in to the month that we would start TTC (but that's a whole other thread, so am coming here to start afresh!)

We already have one DC and have not done very well this month, having not done any of the recommended things to aid conception, however we did SWI (can't see this on the acronym list and all I came up with is 'sex with Intent'?!)
yesterday which is right on my due ovulation date and I had all the signs and will manage a few extra tries over the next couple of days, so though it is unlikely, you never know

LadyBee · 03/02/2010 14:28

I think we could do with a bit of variation for next month too, we're every other day types too but by the fourth or so time it does start to get a bit...oh, really, ho hum
Isn't it weird? When I was a young thing I swear the idea of a regular bonk would have had me and all the men I knew yahooing and leaping into the breach. Now it sometimes just seems like another thing to be crossed off the list...

  • folic acid, check
  • grocery shopping, check
  • tidy away toys, check
  • brush teeth, check
  • sex, yawn, check.

There is still a flicker of that younger me though, I live in hope of someone asking me 'so when was the last time you had sex then' and proudly being able to answer, "last night and this morning"
Not that anyone asks....but they might

So anyway...am still in limbo. No AF, no BFP. Tested this morning and still a BFN. Still getting AF-on-its-way feelings without AF. This is quite unusual for me, normally I feel quite normal up to 1 day before when I'm a bit bloaty, get crampy in the evening and get AF late at night.
Had a cry last night when cramps were annoying but not even the tiniest spot of spotting, mostly out of frustration and disappointment, but also sheer annoyance that my body can't even just get on with AF so I can move onto the next cycle...instead is torturing me with this "it's coming, it's coming ..oh no it's not" stuff.

Bah. I need chocolate. Except that I've decided that my next trick is to really really really try to lose weight. That being something that I want to do and will help up my chances of conception seeing I'm overweight.

Will have to be satisfied with a virtual instead.
