Wait for me!

Are there any seats left? I come bearing wine (red and white to please all), and a very large tub or ice cream.

Have added my stats....

well AF finally decided to put in an appearance this morning so here I am joining you on the July bus.

I spent nearly an hour on the phone last night to my herbalist friend. It was a very interesting conversation and I feel more positive this morning about getting my body settled. She is going to come and see me at the weekend and do her final checks and then is going to sort out a little package of goodies for me. She's confident that she can help me conceive.
My BBT arrived and i temped yesterday and this morning just to get into practice.......today had dropped a lot from yesterday's reading, is that normal? I suppose i should go and do some reading about it all!

Have updated the stats (hope i got it all right) and added myself to the bottom.

Welcome Inbetweener lovely to have you on board. Would you like a seat at the front with chocolate and cake, or at the back with wine and cheese on a stick? :) UCL is usual cycle length.... Feel free to cut and past the stats into a new message and add your UCL or just post it up and someone else will do it for you.

kat Do you want to put yourself on the stats like luce and Inbetweener have done at the top of the list, then if AF turns up you'd just edit and move yourself down again... I assume you think your current cycle is a BFN :(

Hello all,
Can I join you please.
Im totally new at all this but lets see if I have got this right. I am :
Inbetweener TTC#3 Cycle 3 CD23.

I dont know what UCL stands for and I was guessing that Cd stood for Cycle day ?? Was I right ?
I am kinds hoping that I have already fallen as I am due next friday and that would make it a June baby but Im not counting my chickens as I really dont think it will have worked .

I conceived DD1 after 6 cycles and I concieved DD2 while on antibiotics and missing 2 pills !!! So she is my miracle when you consider how hard this TTC lark !!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to join you all. I am at work all day so can chat away lol. I have never been on a TTC journey before with other people so would love to share x

kat2504 · 30/09/2010 11:58

Hi all on the bus. Still waiting to be able to get my bus ticket, CD26 today would usually be due today but think Ov was late this time. I hate the waiting. Had several bfns and would really like to get on the bus with priority speedy boarding now!

Hi there!!!!
Still in limbo here and waiting for AF to turn up
Had my private visit last night and the Dr was fantastic!!!!! I left that I was feeling more optimistic and I'm glad I booked him in the first place!!!

KnitterNotTwitter · 29/09/2010 10:18

Welcome Rosie lovely to have you with us... not too much loud singing from the back though please :)

fled I know what you mean about suddenly finding it harder to concieve. DS was rediculously easy for us to concieve - 1st cycle and now we seem to be struggling to get no. 2. However i do know that many couples go through a lot more to have even one DC so I'm staying optimistic and counting myself lucky...

KnitterNotTwitter · 28/09/2010 16:01

Welcome to brasso lovely to have you with us.

Can I join the bus - think it is the right one...Hello all...

Brasso4 TTCno2(no sharp sign on keyboard!) cycle 1 UCL (not sure) CD4.

Started to try again, my LO is 8 months old and I want to get PG before I go back to work in January (if possible). Not too confident - took over a year with my DD but trying to be positive.

kat2504 · 27/09/2010 22:06

evening all! Am not buying my bus ticket yet as I am riding the last leg of the june bus but haven't reached the AF stop yet so can't get off. Just checking out the bus and seeing what sort of cake and goodies you have, and booking myself the nice seats at the front of the top deck for when I board the bus later this week.

fledtoscotland · 27/09/2010 20:37

Evening all

AF was 3 days late this month but think it was the stress of having shingles last month and DS1 being in hospital for his grommets & adenoids at the weekend. Am so gutted as got positive with OPK last month so we DTD at the "right" time.

Makes it even worse as my lovely neighbour got a BFP today and I'm so happy for her yet feel like crying :(

anyway here are the stats:

fatheadsgirl · 27/09/2010 16:45

How do all! Have had all my blood tests done this morning. What a palaver that was! DD decided that the moment I sat in the chair infront of the nurse was the perfect time to start a scale 9 temper tantrum. Then because the dates on my paperwork didn't match todays date (because AF came early and tests have to be done on certain CD's) they weren't sure wheather or not to do the tests. When they did do them I had to take my paperwork AND bloods back up to EPAU, get them to issue me new paperwork with today's date on or the lab wouldn't test my blood work, then take the new paperwork, still carrying my bloods, back down to ante-natal, where I encountered the worlds most unhelpful staff who eventually took my bloods and my paperwork only to leave me standing at reception awaiting further instruction before DP had to interrupt their personal conversation to ask if they were finished with me and if I could go home. Still hopefully it'll all be worth it and we'll get some answeres.
How's everyones else today?
Luce When do you meet the latest addition to your family?

Welcome fhg I think I recognise you from other buses :)

Luce 15 sounds like a good number... the sort of number which really should be full of good things for you.. Think positive and feel all progesteroney :-)

Mama looking forward to you being here officially and adding yourself to the stats

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend

fatheadsgirl · 25/09/2010 14:24

Afternoon all! June bus reject here. I have decided that this is our month! Oh yes, it's serious now

Here's my story.... We've been trying for a while now and have had three MC's, all before 10 weeks. Have had 5 MC's all together though. Last month wasn't our best effort but all the stops are out this month.

Good Luck to everyone!! Grin

KNT yes,it's good news!!It'll probably be 4/5 weeks before I can see it so I've booked myself in with a Gyneacologist next Wednesday
MPI'm crap at complaining so will get a friend of mine to help me Grin
Fingers crossed your results will come back ok!!

well,I'm already spotting so I think tomorrow will be CD1 of cycle 15 Confused

MamaPower · 24/09/2010 13:10

Knitter guess it was quite freudian! I'll perhaps add in the stat's later, should I get the LPD sorted out and that would make going for a July bean a deff go'er Smile

Luce that's bloody shocking and you should still complain! Hope the consultant is more helpful.
I have bloods next Thursday so assume will see GP early following week, I will keep you posted with any info Smile
