I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

Hi all. Hope you had good weekends all round. Karsten kindly pointed out to me that I actually should be on the very tail end of the April bus, so for now I'm sort of straddling two buses... hope that's allowed!

Eskarina · 26/07/2010 12:17

Hopping on board too if that's allowed. First time ttc #1, cycles have been getting longer and longer since coming off the pill in feb this year so makes working out ov times difficult. Had the Big Talk with DH yesterday in a sort of "are we really going for it then?" way. Now I'm scared but am fed up of waiting for a "right" time to come along work-wise, esp as have been putting it off for 2+ years whilst doing a Masters.

Digitalgirl, that anniversary sucks

Speaking to a friend today who's had 2 MC and numerous connected problems since, and made me realise how lucky I am - she said 'at least you have a healthy DS'. And I am.

But it still is difficult to get your head around when you want DC2!

cherrytomatobomb · 23/07/2010 15:20

Just had a thought - maybe i would be due in April? oh well, I like this bus

Know what you mean about everyone else seemingly 'catching' pregnancy. When pregnant with ds no one was pregnant, had quite a lonely maternity leave - now it seems I've been left off the memo for the mass ml jolly that all my friends seemed to have planned!

Sorry to hear some of you have been trying a while and have also suffered mc's. As isolating as it feels, you are not alone. My next AF is due the same time I got it last year when we first started ttc#2. How's about that for an anniversary

OP posts:
NoMoreChocBiscuits · 23/07/2010 13:42

May I hop on this bus? And if I do do I have to post my stats, as to be honest I haven't a clue and kinda want to keep it that way (it's less scarey).

Just started TTC on Tuesday and ov'd on Weds (hows that for timing!), am positive won't go first time though (as with DS) so thinking a leisurely bus ride might help fill the time.

crazydayz · 23/07/2010 13:14

Hi all, Can I join you please???

I'm very new to this:

crazydayz TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL no idea as been on the pill for last 10 years CD 7?

Hubby and I have only just decided to ditch the contraception tentatively so I'm sure I'll be joining you on many more buses.

I come bearing wine and chocolate buttons

cherrytomatobomb · 23/07/2010 12:08

Hi, Can i join please???

cherrytomatobomb TTC#1 Cycle 19, UCL 27, CD15

I've had a few months away as I was really stressed and after 6 months using CBFM and still no baby, my sanity was disappearing fast.

However, I'm back, feeling positive, with an appt to see fertility consultant in 2 months time. (Brief history - Day 21 bloods show I'm ovulating, DP has 2 children from previous relationship, no SA analysis as GP said no point, I had HSG done 10 years ago which was clear).

Please please please let this be the month we make our baby

Good luck to everyone, lets have lots of May babies

sloathy · 23/07/2010 11:46

Weirdly the AF that arrived on Tuesday has now virtually stopped. If only we could talk to our wombs and ask them what the hell is going on!

vallinnapod · 23/07/2010 11:29

sloathy sorry to hear about the MC
tigersmummy I hear you. I came off the pill umming and ahhing about whether it was the right time the have a baby. Heard about this (bollocksy!) super fertile month when you first come off the pill so got to about 5 days late and tested. BFN. 5 months and a PCOS diagnosis later and here I am tapping my feet impatiently, waiting for my consultant to come back from her holiday so I can get started on Clomid...and this is just to get me to ovulate...this could be my first bus of many

In the meantime every Tom, Dick and Harry is pregnant (wouldn't that be a miracle )

JustShaggingForNow · 23/07/2010 11:24

AC - also having a nosey and dreaming...... at this rate I'll not be stepping onto a buss until March and I sincerely hope that I don't meet any of you on it (in a nice way of course!!! )

tigersmummy · 23/07/2010 11:15

sloathy, sorry to hear about MC - I had nausea and extreme tiredness this time and convinced myself that I HAD to be pg, albeit wishful thinking....

Its a slog sometimes isn't it

sloathy · 23/07/2010 11:12

I would love to hop on as this month's cycle was even more depressing than the last.

Had MC in June at 5+3 (cycle 2)

Then this cycle I had really obvious nausea and other symptoms from about CD20 onwards so was very hopeful and then got AF on Tuesday so still not sure what was going on there.

So onwards and upwards.....

Sloathy, TTC#1, cycle 4, CD4, UCL 32ish.

tigersmummy · 23/07/2010 11:07

Hi everyone, can I join your thread?
AF arrived this morning - took pg test yesterday and got BFN - kinda knew I wouldn't be pg but we always live in hope eh?

Not sure why I'm so upset today - have been in tears all morning - took 5 months to conceive DS which isn't a long time I know and decided TTC DC2 in February - tried every month bar March (didn't want a Xmas baby, would have taken it now of course) and friend has just said she's pg with second.

DS is very challenging and is on the go all the time - sometimes I don't think I'm a great mother to him as sometimes can't control him, he won't respond to me (but will to DH - grrrr!!!) so maybe its not a bad thing I'm not pg yet.

Used OV kits first time round and caught immediately we started using - this time not been so successful.

Am I being petty by thinking it just isn't fair that other people seem to catch as easy as they do a cold?!!!!

Nicolaplus1 · 23/07/2010 07:49

AF arrived as expected so can i please hop on now
