Roll up Roll up it's the October BFP bus!

Milk and Mrsb can I sit by you too? maybe we can bags the back seat I'm also 32 and trying for first baby.
Milk your last post is as though I've written it! I just kind of hoped we'd get lucky as know lots of couples recently who have got pregnant really easily but it's proving harder than I thought for us and the realisation that we only have so much control and it may take a while is dawning as now on cycle 4. Trying to contain my fears and think positive, know it's still early days in the grand scheme of things but it feels like bloody forever my life has been taken over.
Also had a full body massage last month to help me relax, know there's no link between massage&upduffness but it was v lovely if ineffective! may have to try it again this month just to check

Good luck dtdeeding Milk! I'm only on cd2 so in the boring/grumpy bit, roll on ov

MrsB you can sit with me on this bus! I'm 32 as well and also thought we'd be lucky first time. And inevitably I have thought about age as well. We're trying for our first too.

This is the third cycle now and I'm due to ov tomorrow so DTD last night, and will be tonight and tomorrow... And Saturday if he can manage it!

I've also thought about acupuncture and reflexology. Last month I went to a spa for a few days and wondered if that would help! Sadly not but worth a try!

Last night I saw another new baby scan on Facebook and my colleague's baby is due today. If only there was some consideration given to how much time we think about babies as we try to conceive! We'd all be upduffed in no time!

Hiya, I'm not on this thread but just popped on to see if some of my august bus pals have joined and how you're all doing Really hope this is everyone's month. I'm 10 weeks now, and now feel I'm in another dreaded 2ww until the end of the first trimester!

Please can I join? Very new to these sites so not clued up on all the lingo but here goes! My son is 3.4 and I finally feel brave enough to try for #2! This is first month ttc. Af due on 2 oct so fingers crossed can test after that.

I've read that reflexology and acupuncture can help with fertility. I'm thinking of trying it, maybe this cycle if not then defo ready for the next!

I know how you feel, I'm so impatient and really thought we'd get lucky the first cycle, but now thinking this could take a year or longer! I'm 32 and feel like I've already left it quite late for a first baby.

I'm already on 100mg of b6 a day so probably not worth me having that on top.

Would be interested to see if reflexology works though!

VJ have you thought about trying reflexology?

I've started having an Actimal everyday, they do have B6 in them, not sure how much? My friend was ttc for about a year, then started having them and fell pg that month.

It's not just that, longterm use often causes a b6 deficiency, which leads to short LPs. Luckily in most cases, it's temporary.

Vjones, I'm not really sure as haven't used opks yet, but going on stomach pains the last 2 cycles, I think it was 13-14 days? But that's if I even Ov in the first place!

I do worry that being on the pill for so long is going to cause problems, I know it doesn't affect fertility, but it can mask problems!

I've been doing all of the above. Just waiting for my luteal phase to behave :-(

Choccy - I'm using conceive plus as well. Started using it last cycle, but only managed to dtd twice as DH was ill

This cycle I am going to use the opks, try temping, use the conceive plus, try not to be ill or DH be ill, and I've got the Seven Seas Trying For A Baby Vits! I have been taking just folic acid on its own and Vit d on its own.

MrsB - out of curiosity, how have your luteal phases been since you came off the pill?

Hi Jaykay - My 1st af off the pill was 30 days and this one was 28, so I think I'll go with whatever it says for 28. I've got the CB smiley face ones, I know they are expensive but I'm hoping I only need them for this cycle FX!!

Thanks, all.

choccy - is conceive plus for people with low ewcm or what?

Vj :( sorry to hear you are feeling down. No advice sorry, but don't give up

Thoroughly recommend conceive plus

Right so cd12 today and I've just finished my 12 hours shift from hell. But I know that I'm coming up to O day and I'm on nights and DH is away this weekend. So instead of having a cup of tea when I get in I forced him to DTD and spend 10 minutes afterwards letting gravity do its job. Feeling the madness set in tonight
Sorry to hear you're having a hard time VJONES, hoping it gets easier/over quickly!

Yeah, it's horrible. Am still on the b6 and just hoping and praying that it makes a difference soon.

Ah Vjones I do feel for you, share the frustration of just wanting it to happen but somethings just aren't in our control no matter how hard we want it or try. Know that is no help to you but hope you get some comfort from knowing others feel the same

PS anyone using fertility monitors?? If so any top tips??

Room for one more? I'm stomping on from the Sept bus, been in a grump all aft since af showed up, dtd loads around ov time so not impressed. But I have thrown caution to the wind and just ordered myself a cb fertility monitor, sod the expense, this month I mean business!!

Hello to those who know me, how you getting on? Hello too to those I don't know, i'm not usually this grumpy, promise I'll lighten up soon

If someone could add me to the list that'd be great as i'm on my phone

Onelifeonechance ttc#1 cycle 4 BFP 20th

Hi all. I'm having a funny week. After af arriving last week after just seven days again, I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that my lp is far too short and it's not gonna happen for us for a long time. I'm sad and frustrated but nothing I can do!

choccy I'm the same, would love a brother for ds but would also like to experience parenting a girl. Feeling really broody at the moment, so just want a baby!

It is funny, I've always been very broody, wanted children young, but waited. I even went off the pill about 6 years before we started ttc (left it all up to dp who wanted to wait, he was very fastidious with condoms lol) but then after I had ds I wasn't at all broody again until the last month or 2.

Hi Owlie, I have 28-29 day cycle and usually ovulate on day 12/13. It's not too early; we're all different.
