hi, this is probably a weee bit early for some ppl, but im waiting til end of this month to ttc (the desperation, brooding over other peoples babies and feeling jealous of pregnant women , thinking of names and waiting 2 symptom spot kicks in)
so come along and join the journey to motherhood!

Thanks ladies, you are all right. 2011 will be our year!

I think I'll leave it a couple more cycles before going to see my GP. I mentioned to her that I was TTC last time I was there and she said that as we are fairly young (DH and I are both 29) that we should just give it time. I got the impression that she wouldn't do any investigations until we'd been trying for much longer. Although 6 cycles feels long, I suppose it isn't really.

I've just looked at the length of my last 6 cycles:
29
30
28
34 (I was very sick with flu this month and fairly sure it delayed ovulation)
32
29

As it's not the same every month, does this mean it is irregular? I think I might start charting. I'm going to look online for a thermometer, is there a particular one to get?

TwoJackRussellsdefrosting · 02/01/2011 12:12

Sorry to hear that MrsDen, has AF definetly come?

I was so upset last month, but am doing my best to be positive and try again this month, but I will be even more upset if AF arrives in a couple of weeks.

If you are worried about things, best to visit the gp, if just to start getting things underway.

Teds77 · 02/01/2011 12:02

MrsDen really sorry about AF. I was really miserable (again) when AF last arrived and despite endless baby comments from relatives over Christmas (which made me feel throughly worthless) I feel much better this week Smile.

I've definitely started thinking something must be wrong and whilst I can't get that out of my mind there isn't anything I can do about it at this stage. So will just keep trying.

Don't know if that helps, but lots of hugs for 2011 - it will be our year!

ravenlocks · 02/01/2011 11:25

Sorry about AF MrsDen, don't worry yet atall, just keep trying. 6 cycles feels like an eternity I am sure but it isn't all that long, it will happen for you soon I'm sure.

Over in the raven household it is a SWI-a-thon. Starting to get sore bits and no sign of a +ve OPK or any EWCM, so will just keep going!!

Feeling positive about 2011. 2010 was pants all in all.

Happy New Year!! Grin

Happy New Year!

I have just returned from visiting relatives for Christmas so this is my first chance to catch up on news from the bus. I was hoping that I might have good news for you this month but it looks like AF is on her way for me.

I was hopeful because I have had really sore boobs since Boxing day. I normally get them for 2 days the week before AF but never for this long. Also I have had loads of EWCM for the last few days which is unusual for me at this point in the cycle. Anyway, I went to bed last night feeling all hopeful. And then I dreamt that AF turned up. When I woke up I was so relieved it was a dream but then I went to the toilet and wiped and there it was, brown blood on the tissue. I now feel that familiar achey AF feeling so I know she will turn up some time soon. DH is at work all day today and I feel so fed up. I've just had a big cry and am going to curl up on the sofa for the rest of the day and watch TV with a big tin of Roses at my side.

This was our 6th cycle. I'm starting to worry that maybe there is something wrong and it will never happen for us. I'm sure I'll be back to thinking more positively once AF turns up and then rocks off.

Sorry for the long post, I just needed someone to talk to and I can't talk to anyone in RL.

Hi Vegas , testing on day 24 doesn't sound like too much of a lapse to me, sounds perfectly reasonable. I'm also going to POAS next weekend - we could pee together Grin

I'm occasionally crampy in my tummy, for instance have got a buzzy pain in my left side now, but have got no changes in my boobs. I did fall asleep on the sofa this pm but I suspect that was more to do with post-entertaining exertions.

I'm about to put up a general post as urgently need some advice re something that OH has sprung on me.

oh yeah, am 8 dpo today.
cupboard is stocked with cheapies, one FR and a couple of CBD just in case.

this is only cycle 3 ttc no 2, not carried away at all. Blush

jaggythistle · 01/01/2011 12:06

happy New Year everyone.
symptom spotting has now kicked in. think i have been feeling some tiny cramps last night and today. this was the first symptom i had this time 2 years ago so i may just have trapped wind and be optimistic. Grin

i got my bfp at 11dpo on 31st December last time, am trying to wait till Monday at earliest to get the tempting internet cheapies out!

good luck for this year ladies.

MrsHende · 01/01/2011 11:58

Happy New Year to the bus!!

Hopefully 2011 will see all your dreams coming true...and lots of babies!! Grin

Grin at your wee list making soul twojackrussells!

Not even any symptoms to spot here yet. I have got a cold so already a bit worn out and grumpy.

Still peering at my FF chart though, wish it meant something that my chart looks quite similar to the one when I was pg!

TwoJackRussellsdefrosting · 31/12/2010 15:55

it's not my list, I just like updating it, have a little beurocratic soul!!!

Hey princess, welcome aboard, I've added you above, cycle means the number of cycles you've been TTC for and UCL is usual cycle length, CD means cycle day.
