NEW BUS BOARDING FOR JUNE 2012

Wow - my eyes are hurting after reading the whole of this thread! I've been on a few buses before but have given them a bit of a miss for a while but I've missed the feeling of 'we are all in it together', especially since I dont really want to talk to anybody about it all in real life. Also this thread has really made me laugh and you all seem like lovely people.

Any - I've been ttc since Dec with not even a hint of a bfp! My cycle is a bit irregular and I think I may have a short luteal phase so have been taking Vitamin b6. My DH is back from a weekend away tomorrow so we will start SWI in earnest from then...

Hi and Welcome Floralflora!
GTR im still hanging in there although standing up looking at exit,i have already given my seat up for someone more worthy then me!
fingers x for everyone!

Welcome floral, i think the only way to edit messages is to re-send!! It matters not - we can see you on the list, that is all that matters!!

With regards to thrush, I have heard that some women get infections/thrush/illness due to the bodies immune system focussing on the embryo, so yes, it could be a good sign for you so Fx :) I would book an appointment to see your GP asap!!

Ah, I can see now how to make the text bold. Can I edit my message?

Hi there everyone. Can I bag a seat on this bus please? Recently had mirena removed so this is first month ttc #3. Cycle unlikely to have settled into a predictable pattern and cm indicated I ov'd around CD10 but not sure. Anyway the last few days I've had thrush symptoms so popped into chemist this morning but she refused to sell me anything just in case I am pg Gotta wait to see GP . Do you think thrush could be a pg symptom?? The only other time I ever had thrush was just after mirena was taken out in July.

I conceived first 2 darlings in first month of trying so I've never had the trauma of waiting yet. Wd be lovely to make that 3 but trying not to get too hopeful...

Anyway nice to meet you all. x

Oh mama5, i know exactly how you feel; we are here to offer support if the dreaded witch shows up and offer cookies and tea :) and then offer more support with your ventures next cycle (still crossing everything for you though)

Ha ha Loulou, I will have a look over the weekend and report back with any tempting and sexy lingerie - hopefully won't be needing any pre-seed as the natural juices (sorry for tmi) will be flowing!!! They'll be begging for more :)

We didn't manage any SWI last night either, i had a really bad day and just wanted to snuggle on the sofa.....so we did!! Back on it tonight as I think things are starting to happen down there. Took my OPK this morning just before 10am and was expecting it to be really light but i was surprised to see that it was the darkest i have seen it in the last few days! Whoop (not getting my hopes up though so going to test again at 2!) My cm is also doing something weird, it's been creamy for weeks, but this morning it's kind of creamy but clear/watery - never had that before!! I have charted it as creamy but will be doing some more investigative work later to see if there is any change! I know it can't be semen or anything like that because last SWI action was Thursday so the remnants of that will be gone, right?? Has anyone else ever experienced something similar??

thanks for your words but really dont feel like this month is mine!
so i have decided to get my pilot license and fly the last few thread fallouts to somewhere nice and hot!!!July 2012 - hmmmmmmm Barbados im thinking or maybe Jamaica!!!!!!!
I hope all who will be POAS stick soon gets the Positive they have so long been waiting for!!!!!

Hang on in there mama! Sounds like you've done everything you can this month so there is a chance. If it turns out not to be your month then at least you're primed and ready for the next round, so either way it'll turn out ok.

Glad to hear I'm not alone with feeling that SWI doesn't really entail 'sexy time' any more... Got to leave soon for an all day course (boo) but might just do a bit of online underwear shopping upon my return - maybe we should share any good finds? I think I'm looking for something turquoise and push up

Saying that, we didn't end up getting in any SWI last night (bad loulou) as I was out till late then shattered from busy week. Ah well, the ov sticks still say yes so I'll go in for the kill tonight!

Mama don't give up yet. From what I've heard/read a lot of women have no symptoms & are convinced that AF is on its way but still get a BFP! So it ain't over yet! FX
GTR I know exactly what you mean about the SWI - certainly no foreplay for us in my fertile days as it just seems like a waste of time/energy!!

GTR i promised myself that unless late wouldnt so not due to test till next week!
but i can just feel its not happened for me at all this month so may flag down the July bus from now and save a seat somewhere in the middle!!!!!! dont like the feeling when i go over the flippin road humps!!!!
Well fingers crossed for all those still well in the game swi till you know you sure its done!!!!!! maybe i oved late and so missed the days was going every other nite before and during and also after!!!!!! maybe my body dont deal with pressure well! feeling very sorry for myself!!!!!!!!!

hi all glad theres still a good few of us on here x , I Think - I ovulate today, but thats if the metformin has done its job, I dont have ery many 'signs' for ovulation so kinda going on dates more than anything.

Have to hold my hands up to the 'swi' without the fun too! fell asleep early the other night so got woken up by hubby telling me to 'roll over' we have to 'swi' tonight!!

Well still going to go for every other day for a while just to make sure incase ovulation different (IF i ovulate!)

P x

Deelite - TTC#2 means baby no.2 and not how long you've been at it (quite literally)! I know what you mean about the SWI, I have opted for every other day as it's becoming more like a chore now - we don't even bother with foreplay anymore that just gets in the way of the job in hand!! I was hoping for my temp shift this morning but it was a no show!!

Hello everyone,

I'm expecting a temperature shift tomorrow so tonight's the last night of SWI - thankfully. Have been going hell for leather this week and am finding it a chore. Procreational sex sucks...after the fifth consecutive day anyway!

Can I ask? Does TTC#2 mean that I'm trying to conceive baby no. 2 or on the second month of trying. Either way, I'm TTC#2 but would be good to know for next month if I'm still not updiffed.

Hang in there Mama5!!! When you planning to test??

here is the missing "N" to spell nothing!!!!
GTR2882 - i know i say it to others on here, but really feel im out this month, but it aint over to the "red hag sings"

Mama5 maybe the hopelessness is a good sign!! I have heard lots of stories where women had no symptoms but got their BFPs! Not wanting to sound like a broken record but until hag features rears her miserable pock marked face then there is always hope!! :)

Hi Loulou othing to report im feeling less and less hopeful as the days go by,apart from feeling really tired nothing else and that can just be work related!
im thinking im going to crash out this month also!!!!!!! so feeling upset before it has even happened!
someone has had 2 good results from te clearblue oving kit! so may have to bite the bullet and invest in it! cant be asked to look at lines and do charting and my cm is not a god sign for me either!!!!
good luck Popcorn!
boo to AF turning up early chocolate!
pixarmum- the wait starts here!!!!!
Oh festie - praying that this will be your month( im quite willing to offer you my seat)
GTR2882- SWi,2ww,BFP - liking the abbrevations!!!!!!!!!
readynow - hope it all works out for you too!!!!!

not feeling very hopeful feel like that "red hag is on a tampon/bodyform surfboard aiming straight for me!" trying to dodge but dont think she'll miss!
aching back, tiredness but that can be put down to the work in packing and my workload at work! not POAS until next week and no AF show!!!!!! good like to everyone else!!!!!!! BFPs are due!!!!!!!

Ready glad that you are getting somewhere - here's a big Fx for you this month (it will be, i can feel it in my waters ). It's all well and good though these Dr's telling us what the norm is with regards getting pg, but when you are actually TTC every cycle feels like an eternity!! I don;t think i can take much more of this!! SWI is becoming more clinical rather than enjoyable (mainly my fault, as I am a bit about it!!

Loulou ooh yes, as soon as i get paid I am thinking a trip to Ann Summers is in order and maybe invest in some manuka honey, apparently that can help with the whole getting updiffed procedure!! I will literally try anything at this point :)

Saw my GP this morning so feel like I am actually doing something now! I am on day 3 of my cycle so was able to have a day 3 blood test there & then to check my hormone levels. Have to book in for a day 21 test later this month & hopefully sods law will kick in & I will actually get updiffed this month. :o The GP didn't seem at all concerned that we had been trying for 7 cycles & reckons it takes on average a year to 18 months anyway! I don't know if it is just my PCT or nation wide but the GP said 42 was the cut off age for NHS treatment. I was just told that if still nothing had happened by Christmas I should go back with my DH for some more tests.

Hey festie [waves like a bit of a maniac] - I'm alreet thanks. Shattered after this week and have a course all weekend as well (boo) - but coffee is getting me through (have had to abandon cutting down this week or I wouldn't have made it to Friday!) Let's hope those SWI endorphins work their magic in getting me through the weekend.

I've been a bit AWOL lately but definitely firmly seated in the bus/speedboat/bling limo we have going on here now and really looking forward to everyone's updates over the next couple of weeks! Cappuccino and a nice pastry, anyone?

Hi to the 'artist formerly know as' of the May/June buses, popcorn too, fingers crossed for you this month.

GTR - hehe we did exactly the same yesterday - definitely like a military operation! I'm thinking I might need to follow ChocolateWindmill's lead though and treat myself to some new underwear as I'm feeling that the SWI is getting a little clinical in the loulou household. A new bra and some matching knickers might do the trick!

Looks like we've got a few of us testing next week... I think I might have to push mine back a week a couple of days to be realistic and save myself the trauma and cost of all that POAS. I'll keep my date on for now though.. y'know, just in case I start getting symptoms .

Sadly no temp shift :( didn't drop though is the same as yesterday! Onwards and upwards i say! If my calculations are correct and AF is due 9th October, then I should ov anytime from 23rd but going to SWI every other day.......just to be sure :)

Hello all. Newbie to conception boards. Not to MN, I'm on a namechange as have quite comprehensively outed myself on another thread.

I'm TTC no.2, have cervical erosion and got all clear from the GP this morning to get on with it. CD 5 (assuming that CD 1 means days since 1st day of cycle). Had our first SWI this evening but not expecting anything due to wrong part of cycle. Though because of cervical erosion, my bleeding is erratic though I do seem to get regular periods in between the spotting.

Have 1 DS, 21mo. One DH, 39 today.

Ha ha! Brillant GTR. That shows real grit and commitment to the cause! :o :o

Really hope you get that temp shift! x

Ooh festie sounds promising :)

Well I am all SWI'd up - did it straight from work like some kind of military operation!! If temps stay on the up tomorrow then hopefully FF should spot ov and I will be back in the game (never thought I would be this excited about the 2ww!!) will let you know!!

It is just a neverending round of waiting really isn't it pixar?!

Hello Loulou me old mucker! How the devil are you?! Glad you got your second chance to SWI this month! And GTR too SWI-ing tonight! A night of SWI - I'll keep me fingers crossed for you!

Well, I am 5dpo and trying not to go mental and SS. But have noticed very vivid dreams again - which I had last month when I was pg - tho, of course, it didn't stick. And I slept like a baby on the sofa today while my 2yo wrecked the sitting room! But, as I say, trying not to read into things!
