The May Bus

yeh know how you feel brassica i was in tears yesterday over the whole thing. Panic is starting to set in with me! made appoint to see GP at end of month to get bloods done etc. last time i did that i was pg the next month, so fingers crossed.

Feeling a bit crappy this morning, CD1="Here we go again", another 28 days to count down. Feeling like I'm counting my life away.

Hey-ho, give it another few days and I'll be looking forward to SWI I guess

Hi brassica good to see another newby on the bus!

Hi. Can I sneak in too with Lib76...

BrassicaBabe ttc#1 cycle 6 UCL 28 CD1

morning all! can i hop on the bus

hi again to delilah, loopy zinnia and rosie

AF on her way so thought it was time to get the next bus!

Stats TTC#2 cycle 9, ucl 29-37 cd waiting!

Hi zinnia I am giving OPKs a go this cycle (havn't bothered in the past) I used to temp, but gave up as the rules seemed too strict - you have to take your temp at the SAME TIME every morning, and I like my lie-ins, or sometimes wake up early... It was too much for me and I didn't like TTC being the first thing I thought of each day.

I went for my walk and found a geocache was hugely pleased, may go out and look for some more at some point.

Hurrah am on the bus proper as AF appeared yesterday, although with all 3 kids screaming at each other and me praying for the end of the school hols,im wondering why im trying for another

Morning loopy, delilah and everyone else (nice to see so many familiar faces, even if it's a shame we've all ended up on the May bus).

So this morning's question: charting (analogue or digital versions) vs OPKs. Anyone got any recommendations/advice?

I've bought a Boots thermometer n' book set and also signed up to FF (though it scares me a bit) so think I'm going to start charting, but am also wondering about OPKs and whether they're a waste of money and/or likely to start ruling my life.

Morning loopy and anyone else around.

Today I am mainly going to be geocaching... well I'm bored and it seemed like an OK reason for a walk. Will get back later and let you know how I get on!

Delilah me too, finally got AF an hour ago! Im not allowed to put CD1 on the CBFM its got to be tomorrow morning as thats my testing time but i am going to put CD1 on here as that was one long cycle!

Evening ladies, sorry not posted for a while, i find i become to obsessed if i post to much lol

Anyway this months plan is just to "do it" every few days, am binning th ovulation sticks, they to make me obsessed

So i see a few passengers are on the 2ww, how are you feeling???

Hello all, mind if I squeeze in at the back? Have stopped clinging onto the bumper of the April bus by my fingernails so can finally get on board this one properly.

I bring wine. And chocolate.

My, it's crowded in here already. We're going to be bursting at the seams by the end of the month!

Ahem:
zinnia TTC#2 cycle 4 UCL 25-29 CD1

hello rubberduckie, the Metformin isn't too ad I take 850mg twice a day and its only my first week, hopefully it will do something for my cycles ie making them return?? Tamoxifen is the breast cancer drug, it has an effect on estrogen which is why it is also used as a fertility drug, especially where clomid has failed. I'm liking the galaxy and red wine at the back of the bus.... x

Welcome rosie! When does the Metformin belly ever stop? I've been on it since April and every time I try to increase my dose I have a really bad stomach . I've heard the slow release tablets can be better though so am going to go back to my GP and ask for some.

I still haven't received my new router for broadband at home and I moved on the bloody 10th July , so have only been able to Mumsnet at work [insert very naughty smiley]. Am on annual leave now for 2 weeks so am really hoping that it turns up soon, as I will feel like I'm living in the dark ages with no internet, and even worse won't be able to update Fertility Friend!

So, I will be with you all in spirit ladies, drinking heaviliy on the back of the bus trying to bat DP off until the window of opportunity arrives. I have left a massive stack of large Galaxy bars and a few bottles of red wine so none of you forget me

Hello Lovely May Ladies Do you mind if i reserve a seat at the back of the bus?

Just hopped off the April one as am having a crazy long cycle (36 days so far) and ov'ed 14 days ago - so def not pg as it would have shown on htp by now, i occasionally have these late AF appearances - its been quite a while since the last one and of course they are a bit cruel as for just a moment there till the stick turns white you think you might be pg.

To you ladies on Metformin, I have real problems with it when i take the double dose in the evening, and ive been taking it quite a while, hope it settles down soon though.

Ok will add myself to the stats with a view to putting my day up when AF actually comes along.

How you finding the Metformin dustydiva? It makes me feel decidedly dodgy sometimes, and I am on such a low dose! It seems to have done the trick though with my cycles What is Tamoxifen?

Hello again loopy lovely to see you I'll have a Pimms if you don't mind, and Hello and Welcome omnom
