Late October/early November Superbus!!!

Morning ttcers!

Welcome to all new faces. Thanks for updating the stats kels.

Was feeling a bit rubbishy yesterday because a) not pregnant and b) had to go to work all periody. But this morning after dropping the kids off at school, I have had a nice cup of coffee and a slice of choc cheesecake and the world is a much better place.

Also the top that I bought at work (I work in retail surrounded by pretty things that say 'buy me!') might have helped lift my mood. Talking about questionable ttc behaviour zara, can we add 'trying new top on in front of mirror and seeing how much room there would be in it for a bump'. Love that thread!

Despite having 2 DCs, I think I forgotten more than I ever learnt about pregnancy and babies!

Hello Ladies!! I've been lurking for a few days after stalling on the shuttle but darn it!! I just need to man up, hop on the superbus and know that....this...is..our..cycle!!!

I come armed with a tray of steaming hot cuppas and a plateful of healthy morning chocolate hobnobs . Please help yourselves whilst find a place somewhere tucked away in the middle of the bus!

We're TTC our first... We unfortunately suffered a miscarriage at 9 weeks in November (we were really lucky and I was updiffed first attempt on that occasion!) and my cycle's been a law unto itself ever since! I've just started the temping/CM malarkey and am in discussions with an acupunturist....CD 13, I think I may have had my temperature dip today and have been SWI all week so hoping we've got the timings all right! It all starts in earnest this month! Good luck everybody!

I've added myself to the list....

I would like to join too if that's OK!

This is my first post on Mumsnet actually after some long term lurking (since the prospect of TTC first reared its head).... so feeling a bit nervous about it all at this point in time!

My stats are:

TTC#1, Cycle 1, AF due 17/02

Hi Cejay & Thereis welcome to the superbus - shame about AF etc but FX for this cycle etc etc.

Watching Call the Midwife on iplayer at the mo. Such a bad idea!! Broody already and this isn't helping :o Better make sure we get DTD huh??!!

That's TTC our 2nd not 232! Stupid phone!

Please can I join? I was on the Sept/Oct Shuttle but AF arrived yesterday I'm updating from my phone so could someone kindly add me to the list? TTC%232 cycle 3 AF due feb 20th. Thks!

Hi everyone, room for one more?

I was on the October ttc shuttle but af got me today.

Not to worry (she says quite worriedly). This could be our lucky bus!

Thereisalight ttc no.3 cycle no.2 af due 21/2

Already have ds(6) and dd(4). Kind of in the middle of launching a business and dh not keen on ttc. Oh, and will be 36 in feb so fertility probably declining by the hour.

Great conditions for ttc!

Dh and I finally swi once last cycle. Before that he wouldn't have contemplated it. So now not sure if we are ttc or that it was a one off. Am choosing to assume we are ttc but daren't discuss anything about it with him for fear of scaring him off.

[handling dh very carefully emoticon]

MrsT, if I'd have conceived this cycle (highly unlikely, AF due this week), my EDD would have been my birthday!

Then I had the very grim thought that 29 years ago, my mum had her period the same day as me. Bleugh. TMI. Stupid brain working things like that out

Should prob add myself to the list...

I'd like to get on the bus too if I can. TTC #1 and cycle 1 eep! well almost, AF is due friday then we start.

Been waiting it seems AGES to start but we didnt want an august baby (me, Dh,DSIL,cousins, godson etc all are its mad!) so left it till now to start.. and ironically we worked out if I get my bfp this month EDD will be my DBs birthday. Doh!!!

I'm tentatively putting one foot on the bus if that's ok!!
Already posted this in the ttc no 2 thread so sorry to those of you who have already read this!!
we're thinking of starting to TTC #2 but in two minds about it:
have a nearly 6 month old ds who was born in august. We've always wanted 2 dc and a 2 year age gap ( well a 2 school year age gap). theoretically means we could wait till ds a bit older before ttc no2 but I am not keen on having another summer baby as do worry about him being the youngest in the year and struggling at school. Although I was a late summer baby and did very well at school as did many of my summer peers but with your kids you worry about everything lol! So we've been thinking about ttc from now to aim for a dc earlier in the school year with still the 2 school yr age gap. but if I was to get pregnant in the first cycle as I did with ds he would only be 14/15 months old- but of course just because it was easy to conceive no1 does not automatically the same will be true for no2! Silly thing is that although I know it would be hard I would be happy with that age gap if it meant dc2 would be earlier in the school year but what is worrying me is what people in rl will think or say. I've already had quite a few people say we're quite young to have dc- I'm 27 DH is 28, we both have very good jobs (mine is letting me go back part time next month) and salaries and have our own house so not really sure what the issue is but makes me think people will have even more to say about the small age gap as a result. sorry for the long message but hard discuss this with people in rl!!! I know I really shouldn't think about what people will say but lets be honest we all do care what people think of us lol.
so long shot is we're going to start dtd when we feel like it and see what happens but not going too ttc mad just yet!!With ds we dtd every other day of my cycle and we're not quite ready for that!
so adding myself to the list:

Hi, I'm here too! On CD5, so will stop bleeding soon and then can get on with the SWI! Although I'm currently battling with some kind of infection/virus/possibly autoimmune thing so that might put a damper on our plans- we'll see what the GP says tomorrow.

Adding myself to the list (rearranged it in date order, hope that's okay!)

OMG - Need to turn my phone off & step away from the TTC maths because that way madness lies.... I have just spent about 10mins calculating all the permutations of my cycle (cycle length of 26, 28 & 31 days, ov day of 10, 14, & 16 days etc etc) so that I can make sure we DTD enough for long over to be certain to get the egg. It looks like we either missed it by a day or 2 last month (nasty UTI & antibiotics killed the mood somewhat) or stopped DTD a day or 2 early. No chance of THAT happening this month!!

Anyway, going cold turkey on the conception threads for a day or 2 in the hope I'll get some perspective. I'll be back though...

Good luck with TTC & see you soon for the start of lots of BFPs (FX eh??).

I like it!

Thanks, I feel a bit like I've stepped over a threshold now that I'm posting in Conception - it makes it more official than I'd like. I only discovered MN when I was about 4 months pg last time, so this is completely uncharted (pardon the pun) territory for me.

It took 3 cycles after stopping my pill last time. Haven't restarted the pill this time, but we also haven't done a lot of sex either (WI or otherwise) We did this month, but too late in my cycle. We didn't plan to start until next month anyway, so this thread came along just at the right time.

Shagging/sex With Intent (to concieve) Stetsons - I had to go online & do a Google search to understand half the acronyms when I started lurking on the conception threads!!! Had NO idea what AF was, although like it - still good old 'blob' in RL life tho!!

Welcome aboard BTW. I've got a DD who is 21months today so keeping fingers & toes crossed that this is the month because I'd love the 2.5yr gap etc. but telling myself that I'm not going to get my BFP this month so I don't get too disappointed. Already bit tense about it & only 2nd month of actively TTC - didn't try first time so this all seems a bit alien!!!

Here's hoping for lots of luck aboard this bus... :)

I'm new to all this 'T'TC stuff - me and DH think of it more as not preventing as much as actively trying, otherwise I'm likely to obsess and get crazy and start squinting

AF due next week, but we'll be ttc after that. I already have a DD, 20mo, and I'd quite like a winter baby 'next' time, early November could be classed as winter, right?

What does SWI mean?

Off out for real tequila here! Here's hoping its something we can't do for too much longer! After spending day with bff's beautiful little dd I am more broody than ever ladies!! X

Wait for meeeee!!!! waves and runs manically, carrying more margarita supplies

Hi everyone! :)
TTC#1, cycle 3 now as AF arrived uninvited today...feeling very low as really thought something was happening this time, had so many symptoms (clearly all fabricated).
Not using ovulation tests (yet), DH doesn't want to start 'stressing about it too much' - a bit too late for that now!!
Thought we did enough SWI last cycle so somewhat worried / disappointed to see AF...I know it's early days yet, but I'm impatient!!

So, TTC#1, cycle 3, AF due 16/02

Aww thanks zara and chunky for the warm welcomes. And hi to lyftiduft too. It will be brilliant to have a bit of support through this roller coaster. Also I'm an October baby and think its a good time of year to be born so I'd like my first dc to be around the same time!!!!

Honestly I've done 12 years or so of desperately trying not to get pregnant and all of a sudden it what you're hoping and wishing for!!

breaks open the champers at the back of the bus and joins chunkychicken with a tiny bit of air guitar with the bottle yelling TFIF

helloooo, can I come aboard the superbus of dreams too?

TTC#2, cycle 1, AF due 9th Feb I think...

Loving the tunes... :) surreptitiously plays air guitar at the back of the bus, wondering if had too many drinks already

Hi stickle It was my DH (although at the time he was still DP for another week) who wanted a baby, even before I did, & he got his wish DTD just twice... Not so lucky this time, but maybe cycle 1 for baby #1 & cycle 2 for baby #2??!!
