Hi Ladies,

Can I join this bus? I think I recognise some of you from previous buses.

This will be my 7th cycle ttc. I was really fed up when AF arrived this month but I'm feeling much more positive today. Fingers crossed this is a lucky bus for all of us!

My stats:
Mrsden ttc1, Cycle 7, CD3, UCL 30ish.

Newgolddream · 04/01/2011 23:18

kat2504, thanks so much for that, my cycles have been a bit strange since mirena came out, ranging from 21-25 days and my Luteal Phase 10-11 days, so shortish. Plus FF says I ov on CD8 this month, so no idea whats going on.

DoFliesHaveKnees · 04/01/2011 23:15

Can I join you Ladies?

Did have a run on the August bus, missed September out but now actively trying.

DoFliesHaveKnees TTC#2 Cycle#10 UCL 27 (AF due Jan 28th)

Good luck!

kat2504 · 04/01/2011 22:21

Newgolddream presumably you will get your AF in 6 days time then. If you have an average 28 day or shorter cycle, that would mean that you will still be on the october bus in your new cycle, just sitting nearer the back!
The bus name refers to when the baby would be born if you are lucky enough to get a BFP.
UCL means your usual cycle length.

Newgolddream · 04/01/2011 22:04

Thanks CEP, dont have any hope for this month, Im currently 8 DPO.

xstitchfirstfooter · 04/01/2011 21:30

Can I join?

ttc #2 CD1 UCL 31 (at least I think so it used to be 28)

cep · 04/01/2011 21:08

yes your "on the bus" unless you get pregnant this month or your af starts in which case you'd then join on the nov bus if you so wish. it is a bit confusing.

Newgolddream · 04/01/2011 21:03

Thanks! Is this the thread for ttc this cycle then? The reason Im confused is because the previous site I was on a "bus" was for when you got your BFP and was on a Mums due thread then.

Anyway should have said Im ttc 4, CD 16. Not sure what UCL means??

cep · 04/01/2011 20:58

Hi hoping to join if possible, no idea about stats so apologies, had a mc end nov beginning dec and am now waiting for my af so can start trying again. Am feeling rather nervous about it all again.

newgolddream i think you can pretty much be on any amount of threads you want.

Hi I joined today and have been ttc since August - is this the right thread? Not sure what a lot of the threads are about tbh, some seem really long, are you meant to only stick to 1 thread?

I started a thread asking this but only got 1 reply so In guess you dont do that?? Any help appreciated - thanks!!!

Iggly · 04/01/2011 20:41

Hi all! I'm waiting for my cheap bbt thermometer to arrive. Am also going to start using my CB sticks although will feel the pressure if I know when I've ovulated...!!

chocolatebuttontheif · 04/01/2011 16:05

Hi to all of the newcomers who have joined over the last couple of days.

Arabella I think AF is due on 5th Feb for the benefit of the stats, thanks for being organised!

Good luck to all of us!

Hi all

Can I bagsie a seat please? I'm still technically on the September one, but I know deep down that its not happened, so can I jump aboard here?

Being a pain, is there a seat over a wheel somewhere - get sicky at the back Wink

Snakeears · 03/01/2011 09:56

Can I join in please?

My DH and I have been waiting for what seems like ages for now onwards to be able to start to try now it's so exciting! Very broody indeed and I know it's unlikely to happen first time - especially after all of the christmas excesses but fingers crossed.

TTC#1 CD7 (on Mon 3rd) UCL 26/27 AF due on 23rd Jan ish.

Good luck everyone x

Snakeears · 03/01/2011 09:27

Hello!

Can I join in too? very exciting. Fingers crossed.

TTC number 1, first cycle ever - eek! DH and I waiting til now to try very very broody and mad about it but scared as feel like we've been thinking about it for ages and now it might happen! (well hopefully sometime this year)

so TTC#1 CD7 UCL26 AF due 22nd Jan

eek!

babylanguagelearner · 03/01/2011 00:58

So .... I have about 5 days until I think I'm in my fertile window. Planning on eating runny poached eggs for breakfast every day until then, while I still can eat / drink what I want guilt-free! haha!

What are everyone else's plans? I might plan on wine as well, but then it has been such a festive season I am a bit over it already!

AuntieDoris · 02/01/2011 20:27

Let's see if I can get this right...

TTC1 CD12 UCL28(ish)

chocolatebuttontheif · 02/01/2011 18:12

Last month I had plenty of EWCM, but I've never heard of pineapple juice for implantation, i might have to try that one!

arabella36 · 02/01/2011 18:12

Welcome soundof. Get yourself comfortable on the bus. Fingers crossed it will be a lucky bus for you.

Iwish · 02/01/2011 13:39

Welcome tamashii. good luck for you, hope 2011 is lucky for you :)

Welcome marthamay. Good luck for you too! Hopefully 2011 will be lucky for you too :)

CMD83 I'm sorry af got you Christmas day, af got me new years eve. Did you have a good cry? I know I did, flood gates opened when DP asked what was wrong.
And I know what you mean about peoples accidents, makes me so angry and I just think seriously how can it happen to you accidentally and we have been trying for months!
Fertility plan fo seem to be quite good, got them in the post next day as I ordered before 12.

auntied you could try grapefruit juice anyway but as iggly said some people have to go in search for it. I have an ok amount of the stuff but going to try grapefruit juice anyway. Also pineapple juice is supposed to help with implantation so I drink that after OV.

iggly glad you found a cheap enough therm, they are good, I was actually quite proud of my charting and was amazed I could see what my body was doing.
