Iggly I got mine online. They sell them in Boots but they are quite expensive - about £10.

Queen ha ha while SWI wherever you get the chance is a good strategy, might I suggest you be a bit selective re possible fathers and observe public decency laws!

Igglystuffedfullofturkey · 30/12/2010 14:12

Where's best place to get a decent thermometer from? I used CM when I got pregnant with the miscarriage but this time I'm worried my cycle will be doolally so want to use as much as poss!

queenofthecapitalwasteland · 30/12/2010 13:06

Thanks for the advice amanda, i've been using CM as a guide but just been trying to fit in SWI wherever I get a chance. Off to buy a thermometer now.

PrincessScrumpy · 30/12/2010 12:40

I'm still on the September bus (just) but might be hoping in to the October one very soon.

Remember temping doesn't tell you when to SWI, it just tells you when you have OV by which time it's pretty much too late. To identify fertile days you need to check your cervical mucus.

justnodandsmile · 30/12/2010 12:18

Soundofherwings- relax! you are only on cycle 3, you really don't have anything to be nervous about. Positive thinking, fingers crossed for some fertile months ahead for all of us!
I'm not temping, I bought a CBFM instead which i'm going to start next cycle, does it help to do both?

soundofherwings · 30/12/2010 10:43

AmandaCooper- thanks! I wasn't really too nervous about the TTC, but now I'm being irrational and getting nervous that we're never going to get pregnant! (and, yes, I know that it's early days and I'm being stupid ) I'm a medical student so I get nervous about the most stupid things.

And I'm temping, although not as religiously as I should because I like wine and lie-ins and they really mess up my temps.

According to Taking Charge of Your Fertility the ear ones are not sensitive enough.

queenofthecapitalwasteland · 30/12/2010 08:10

Soon as AF turns up I shall be temping (hope a baby ear one will do) seems to have been forever ttc by random swi so I going a bit militant this time

AmandaCooper · 29/12/2010 20:39

I think I am going to temp, although it really messed up my sleep last time. If you do get pg it will be useful to be able to pinpoint when you OV'd.

Hello, can someone add my stats please(I can't do it)?

TTC number 2, Cycle 1, UCL 29, CD5

I was on the September bus, but for career reasons have had to postpone TTC until now. Shouldn't really have joined the September bus at all! Not really ideal now either, but just about do-able.

CrazyAlien · 29/12/2010 19:56

hi , can I squeeze on?

TTC no.1 Cycle 6 CD9 UCL28-35!

hey all, been six months TTC now and incredibly fed up lol but am looking forward to the turn of the year as only another 6 months to go until can get help :) I have a AMH blood test tomorrow morning to see what my stats are like, have to wait 2 weeks for those results, which will be interesting!

I did use Clear Blue Fertility Monitor for 2 cycles but got a peak last month but no BFP so lost confidence and given up with it! plenty of SWI is what I am sticking to now and trying to remain with a low stress level.....very tricky!

hope you all had a fab Christmas :)

Igglystuffedfullofturkey · 29/12/2010 19:46

How many people are doing temps? I did it half heartedly for DS, but turns out I was pregnant when I started so no idea how it works. I've got some CB fertility sticks - not used them before. Have even downloaded an app onto my phone (fertility friend).

AmandaCooper · 29/12/2010 18:19

Same age gap as me and my sis, except I'm 33 and she's 30. She better not try getting in there first!!

Soundofherwings welcome to the thread. Sorry you' e had no luck so far but it's very early days. Has ttc a couple of cycles made you less nervous at all?

OP posts:

soundofherwings · 29/12/2010 17:38

Ooooh, can I jump on the bus too!!

We're trying for our first and this is cycle number 3. CD2 at the moment, UCL 27. But on the plus side, missing the September bus means I can have lots of lovely drinkies for New Year's. :-)

AuntieDoris · 29/12/2010 16:39

I am 35 and my sister is 32.

AmandaCooper · 29/12/2010 16:09

How old are you and sis, if you don't mind me asking?

OP posts:

AuntieDoris · 29/12/2010 14:53

Yes this is my first baby. Not only did my younger sister get married twice before I even got married once, she has also been pregnant twice. Pretty painful for me to deal with at times to be honest, especially as she never really wanted to have kids, whereas I have been broody forever!

queenofthecapitalwasteland · 29/12/2010 14:20

Hello, any room left?

I jumping back on after missing the Sept bus.

Dear AuntyDoris, justnodandsmile I totally understand, my little sis has 2 gorgeous munchkins and now my little bro has decided to add another loony bundle of joy to the family

AmandaCooper · 29/12/2010 13:27

kat2504 there is plenty of festive booze on this bus. I'm probably going to need some so I can slip DH some dutch courage!

OP posts:

Igglystuffedfullofturkey · 29/12/2010 10:08

Ding ding ladies! AF is nearly over, this is my first cycle post MC so hoping everything is back to normal... DH is currently ill with norovirus (I think) so am staying away from him and looking after DS.

There are bumps every where - my neighbour, SIL and a friend. Plus two others have just sprogged

Here's hoping for us all

kat2504 · 29/12/2010 08:28

Hello ladies will be transferring to your bus soon as I think my ride on September is almost over :(
at least I won't have to worry about all the festive booze I suppose.

InnocentRedhead · 28/12/2010 21:08

Hey hey, can i hop on, well im between two buses at the moment (but i aint lurking on this one) waiting for AF due on 4/1 (?) so holding out hope but thought i would join in as experiencing PM symptoms.

So this is me TTC #1 with DP, CD21 UCL?

hoping 28day came off implant mid Nov and just waiting for my second AF since, enjoying the ride though

Seatbelts are on ready to ride this road together
