The October bus is here!!!

thinking if it makes you feel any better DH and I only managed it once during my fertile days this cycle.

Hi goingmad and mrshedgehog

I'm always surprised on MN at the amount of people that think 3 children is a lot. I'm one of 3, my two best friends are both one of 3 and my DB has 3, so 2 or 3 have both always seemed like normal numbers to me. I've always said I'd like at least 2, always thought I'd have 2 then see if the urge was there to have any more, although we've just bought a 4-bedroom house! I think 4 is a lot though!

I tend to be very regular 25 days with OV around day 15 although recent OPK have been fading all over the place.

I ordered the cbfm and hoping it'll help me get a more accurate reading. I think my donor would be happy to donate 3 or 4 times a month max.

Fingers crossed the first time was enough and I am worrying over nothing but i very much doubt it

the cbfm is quite good but obviously quite expensive. It identifies the high days before ovulation. If you can only get two a month might be better to use ovulation tests. However, the cbfm would give you a few days advance warning of the best days. Depends how regular your cycle is. Also in the first two months it gave me too many high days to be very useful.

Could someone please remove me from the bus as I am now moving on to the next transport service!

Does anyone know anything about the clearblue fertility monitor. I only going to get 2 or 3 donations a month so i need to make sure my dates are bang on

I think you just notice them because you are aware, but my boobs seriously doubled in size! haha! I had slight pain when I ov'd this month, i've noticed it before (before TTC) but never really paid any attention to it) whereas this month I went and pee'd on OPK...
Oh well nothing to imagine this month, I feel totally normal!

I promised myself I wouldn't lose the plot but this ttc seems to make it happen arrrghh good luck to everyone waiting to test :)

I have promised myself that I am not going to start imagining i have every sympton under the sun. Last time I was TTC I convinced myself every month and I've never got my BFP

Last month by now, I had enlarged heavy painful boobies - this month nothing! grr!

as you were...

How am I going to last the wait? I carried out my first home artificial imsemination on Saturday TTC#1.

Im not 100% sure of my dates due to confusing OPK but i have ordered a clearblue monitor for next month.

The sensible me os telling me that I can't be pregnant first time with a new donor, only 1 attempt this month and with unclear dates but then my irational me is thinking What If????

Arghhhh this is going to be a long 2 weeks!!!!

er, discounting mad testing today goingmad, 5 days time would probably be more realistic (AF due around the 7th-9th)... in all probability, every day from about wednesday, ahem.

Good luck to you too!

kateepie big fingers crossed for you for this month then :) when are you due to test?

Hi goingmad this is my third cycle, ttc numero uno. Apart from a few weird days just after I ovd I have had far fewer 'symptoms' than I had last two months, so hoping for the best!

xx

and to you mrshedgehog havent seen many people trying for #3. good luck to you :)

goingmadtrying nice to meet someone in the same situation. Feeling greedy too. Good luck

can you be relaxed TTC!!!!

mrshedgehog definately blessed to have 2 and feel a little greedy trying for 3 however #2 was a bit of a pain so would like a nice baby again :) one can wish!!!feeling very desperate

Know what you mean vegasmum. I'm not sure relaxing is possible. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you goingmadtrying, don't know about you but I feel so lucky to have 2 already but am desperate to have another.

DP says if it happens, it happens if it doesn't it doesn't but I can't feel like this yet!

Welcome mrshedgehog yeah me too although only been trying 2 month lol :)

ellangirl I been driving myself mad with symptoms for days, feeling sick, and over sensitive smell(get this everytime), without being too gross ive had mine for a couple of days but once last night it was bright red, only a v v small amount, arghh I hate this waiting

goingmad you and me both then. I've had cramping yesterday and today, and a tiny bit of brown cm when wiping, a bit yesterday pm and a bit today. I'm 12dpo today, so I'm hoping it's implantation too as not due af until 15dpo. I never get spotting, ever! Stupid body playing tricks!

should preview first meant How Long you been trying Katee?

I'd like to join you if there's still space. Been TTC #3 for 6 months now and feeling stressed.

Was incredibly lucky to conceive DD1 and DD2 first time of ttc!! So struggling with this unsuccessful feeling.
AF due 8th Feb.

I was working on around day 15, did see an increase in the stringy stuff around that time too!!, not charting or anything yet but seriously considering it. I know I have been very lucky in the past to get pregnant so quickly, I know last time I tested before my period and in the middle of the day and got an immediate BFP so not hopeful for this month, how ,ong have you been trying Katee
