Well, as Bleats so kindly started the last one I thought it only fair to take my share of the driving Grin

Let's keep the positive vibe going ladies, we may be off the May minibus but we're definitely not defeated so bring the Wine, Brew and BiscuitBiscuitBiscuit, hold onto your seats and let's get this baby mobile started

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes (37) ttc#2 AF due 28th Sept (ish)

Thanks Cats I am hoping on board and the stats go:

Bleats (31) ttc#1 AF due from 21 Sept (given my silly short cycles of late)

Thanks for the [biscuits] yum. I went a bit hell for leather with the Prosecco last night as celebrating paying off my student loan. Also having a massage today. So at least making the most from not being up duffed.

Given Floydie's BFP sucess as the conductor on May's minibus can I make an application for the position. Tickets please!

I was hoping you'd join - of course the position is yours Bleats - let's hope it works for you too!

So jealous of the massage Envy, don't get much time for pampering these days. Got jobs to do this morning but hoping for a nice family afternoon out later.

Congrats also on paying off the student loan - perfect timing for a bit of extra cash towards baby expenses Wink!

Hi there
Got new computer so don't know how to do copy just yet.
Can you add me this month?

HorseyGirl1 (40 on 24th - eeek!) AF due 26th or 27th

I'd love a BFP for my 40th. Maybe if I blow the candles out! xx

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 03/09/2011 22:05

Hey Horsey - that would be an amazing present to yourself! If I conceive this month it'd be due around dh's 40th birthday too so here's to 40th birthday babies Wine

Well, the minibus is filling up nicely which is such a relief. I've never started a thread before and I had visions of it just being me with the tumbleweed blowing past - phew!

Hi everyone, am transferring from the friendly May bus! Have dropped off that today, sort of expected considering OH wasn't in the same county as me in the vital week! Still depressed anyway as always hope I may have worked the dates out wrong or something! Good luck to us all this month!! :-)))

Hello all - I guess we're all in the hanging around waiting to swi phase at the mo.

I'm with you there crazy. My ds (2y 9m) just moved into the big bedroom, moved from the toddler room at nursery up to pre-school and has just properly got the hang of potty training all in the space of a week. He keeps telling me he's a big boy now and I'm so proud to see him blossoming - he's so entertaining and independent but it doesn't half make me feel broody again...

Anyway, this just means I'm even more determined to make a concerted effort this month so tomorrow sees the start of operation "June Kitten". I have informed dh that his services will be required every other day up until Smile on opk, then daily for that day, the day after and the day after that for good measure!

Have to say I find the opk's invaluable as my cycle is all over the place since ds - fingers crossed they do the trick for you this month crazy - at least if you do have another long cycle you'll know when you ov'd.

Anyway, I'm currently being attacked by a daddy bracchiosaurus (apparantly.) I never knew their favoured form of attack was clinging to their victims legs but the roar seems quite authentic. Must go and call David Attenborough immediately...

Hello there,

Can I join please? Mine would be a late May/early June baby I think. Bleats our AF is due on the same date. Woo.

My OPK's have come up with nothing this month but I had ovulation pain yesterday and temp has started to rise today. Good job we did the deed the last couple of nights. Think we'll SWI tonight, just to make sure.

Is there any room for me? This is my first cycle ttc after vasectomy reversal, never thought I would be here, but I've just had my +opk and we have been at it like rabbits last couple of days so I've got everything crossed for a June baby :0)

Hi all

I'm new to all this TTC malarky but would love to join you all on the minibus if there's room (you might need to upgrade it to a full size one though).

I am TTC%231 and have been SWI the last few nights. Wow it gets a bit boring doesn't it! AF should be due on 21st sept although my last one was odd with a light couple of days, a couple of days with nothing and then 3 more days full force. That's never happen before - it's like my body knew I was going to be TTC and was being naughty.

Anyway my stats are;

whysoserious (30) TTC%231 AF due 21st September

(I think that means it would be a late May baby though doesn't it? I'm a virgin to all this. Not literally a virgin, I'm doing something right I know that Wink)

Good luck to you all!

Whysoserious · 08/09/2011 18:12

That should say TTC number 1 but it is showing up as 231 on my phone for some reason.

Looks like there's a few of us where 21st sept is D-Day!

Welcome why. Join me and bleat with our poas around the same time.

Yes, you're right. I think we'd be due right at the end of May.

Whysoserious · 08/09/2011 18:33

Hi astroness. I'm going to try and wait until the weekend to POAS. that's in the unlikely event that AF doesn't arrive before then. Ooh it's very exciting!

I haven't used any ovulations sticks, checked temps or anything like that. I have an app on my phone though that told me that I ovulated yesterday so have just been SWI everyday for the last week and will continue to do so for the next couple of days. Looking forward to some time off though.

I'm not expecting to get lucky this month though as it's only the first month. And I know relatively little about my cycle so could be that I ov at weird times and have completely missed it. Also I suspect I have a tilted uterus after many a painful and embarrassing smear test - not sure if that effects conception though...

Since removing the brachiosaurus from my leg this morning, I have spent the entire day cleaning and I am knackered! It's lovely to be sitting in a nice clean tidy house though (and yes, I am ashamed to say this is an unusual event in the MyCat household). I also went to my slimming world group earlier and I've lost 2.5 lbs this week too so I'm now feeling pretty pleased with myself all round Grin

Anyone else feel like they've achieved something good this week?
