Hello everyone.

Mrs B - I see you're only a week away from your AF due date. Are you going to be strong and not test early do you think?

I am on day 18 of 28-29 cycle and don't think I'll be able to resist using a first response 6 days early. Reprehensible I knowGrin

innocent - in answer to your question I can think of 2 things which may help. (1) Plan other things to do which can act as a distraction and something to look forward to. (2) Try to limit time on MN as it can encourage TTC-obsession. Easier said than done of course but good luckSmile

queenrollo - Good luck for your visit to the GP

Iggly - how're you getting on? Aren't you around the same cycle time as me?

Tamashii · 11/01/2011 13:28

My stats are wrong on the list but I am too scared to touch it in case I mess things up! I'm just gonna wait for someone with more knowledge to do it Blush

Tamashii TTC#2 CD 21 UCL 33-35

InnocentRedhead Unfortunately, I honestly don't think there are any ways to keep ur mind off the 2ww. We've been TTC for about a year now and I am STILL obsessively symptom spotting and wasting pee sticks during the 2ww. I try to pretend it's not going to bother me "this time" and I WILL wait until AF is late before peeing on anything but it NEVER works out like that. Sorry, not helping!

Anyways, hoping for some BFP's soon... including one for me (selfishly but I am just being honest cos I am getting sooooooo downhearted every time AF arrives).

sevendwarves · 11/01/2011 11:18

Christ, sounds like it's been a bad couple of days on the September bus!

Hi queenrollo and shoopshoop

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 10:55

daye?! I meant day...oops

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 10:55

Hello lovely ladies. I have just been unceremoniously thrown off the September bus due to nastly, evil AF...the bitch....arriving today Angry

I'm still not sure of my cycle length as I recently came off Cerazette, but nevertheless, here are my stats:

ShoopShoop TTC #1 Cycle 2 UCL ??? If 28 daye cycle, AF due 8th Feb.

Good luck everyone :)

Sorry to all those who fell off the september bus. We were ttc for 11 months with DD1 one so I understand the disappointment. Fingers crossed for some positive news this month :)

Well I got thrown off the Sept bus Sad AF got me this morning. Going to make an appt with the GP to get checked out as it's been over a year now with no luck.

innocentredhead i'm 13 months/11 cycles in now and honestly the first 4 were the worst for me. I was totally obsessed with it, and as I had irregular cycles back then it was even worse! That feeling will calm down honestly. This last cycle i've hardly posted on the bus and that's because i hardly thought about TTC. I never thought i'd reach a stage where i was laid back about it Grin

TwoJackRussellsdefrosting · 11/01/2011 06:55

Hi there, can I join, fell off the September bus a week early :(

Am planning to just lurk though, have been a little focussed on all this baby making for the last couple of months, so hoping to relax a little about it all a bit.

Good luck y'all!!!

pinkapples · 11/01/2011 06:44

Hey is there a seat on the bus for me was running along side have Joe managed to hop aboard ? Last cycle was unsuccessful for me on Clomid but it was my first so am looking forward to the next no stats yet as am taking Provera before AF x

InnocentRedhead · 11/01/2011 06:10

hey cep, well we would both be working out there, in casinos so good money out there. Only thing is i don't really want to bring a child into the world in another country due to past experience, feel better if i had access to med care over here. We have decided for the sake of our future and our family to not go ahead with it. It was an out there idea that was thrown into the mix but us trying for a child has really put that into perspective.

One thing i do need to talk about is that i feel the thought of babies is really consuming me, i don't think there is an hour that goes by without the thought of baby in my mind, probably most of the time actually. I am just frustrated that everything cant be quicker. the waiting to ovulate then the 2ww, it is horrendous. This is only the beginning of cycle three and i really don't know how to carry on like this. There are people out there that have to try for years and i understand this and i am not trying to say that what i am feeling is worse. ANy tips on how to just chill out on it basically, i just want it so bad and i don't know how to just try and lay back and relax a bit more
xx

pookypup · 11/01/2011 06:09

Hello Louby, good luck on this one!

louby86 · 10/01/2011 23:22

Hi everyone, I know I'm a bit late but can I join you guys on the October bus now I've been thrown off the September one? We're TTC #1 and it's my second cycle of trying!

MrsB33 · 10/01/2011 22:30

pookypup · 10/01/2011 22:12

Oh dear, think I made a newbie error. Does CD mean cycle day? Think I've posted my cycle number instead Blush. Doh!

sevendwarves · 10/01/2011 21:53

KnitternotTwitter that's pretty good then. I was just curious, there had only been 2 when i left. Hopefully this bus will be just as successful if not more!

xstitch I'll also be doing OPK's from tomorrow.

arabella36 · 10/01/2011 19:22

Good luck with the OPK-ing xstitch

cep · 10/01/2011 16:21

fx this is a lucky bus for us all.

KnitterNotTwitter · 10/01/2011 14:58

secondwaves there was about 7 reported BFP's on the Sept bus... with still quite a few people on the bus...

xstitch · 10/01/2011 14:56

Well decided to start testing with OPK today and hopefully get a better handle on my cycle this month at least.

cep · 10/01/2011 14:27

Hi all. Hope everyone is ok. welcomenewbies.

innocent ooh gibralter would be lovely. How long would you be there for?? Would you have a job there?? Babies are allowed to fly from about 3-4 months old. If there's no job there for you (assuming dh would have one) wouldn't it be the perfect time?
