Let's get Pregvember off with a bang! November BFP bus (thread 2)

Sorry for bfn blueberry. It's good news that you ovulated. My best friend has fallen pregnant 4 times with clomid - always on the 3rd cycle. She reckons the first 2 are warm-up's. Fx you have the same success.

Good luck for your appointment tomorrow spinning.

All this talk of dtd with visitors is making me cringe about some of my teenage antics! Where was my shame?!

I just had a strong looking positive on an opk. It's 5 days earlier than my usual ovulation day, so I think the dog has done something. DH has a rotten cold - god knows how I'm going to get him going tonight

Welcome sm2012 fx you won't have to wait too long for DC3! Would be interesting to know if your LP has always been short as that would mean it's IS possible to get a bfp with a short LP - though I don't suppose you will be able to find out now!

MrsG LOVE your present idea! Already got me thinking about what I can buy myself for next AF (hopefully not needed!)

Hi everyone,

Space for a newbie?! I'm 35 and dh is 36 and we're ttc dc3. This month will be our 3rd month so early days yet but already getting a bit fed up as we managed to conceive both our two dd's within 3 months of trying but we are older now!

I'm on cd 2 at the moment so waiting a few more days before we dtd and I start doing the opk's! I didn't do these last time and am surprised as I seem to have quite a short luteal phase, not sure if it's got shorter or always has been, hopefully always has been.

This month I've ordered some pre-seed and have got my dh taking mulit-vits and minerals! Fingers crossed everyone

Adding my place. Determined this month!!

Purple - Glad you managed your BFP with your brother in close proximity! That gives me hope! If DH is struggling to get in the mood when my parents are in close proximity, I'll just have to remind him that if Purple managed it - so can we!

Good point on the softcup front MissMrs - the things we go through whilst ttc!

Agreed on the lack of inhibitions front Wanttobe!

Thanks everyone. :)

Spinning good luck for tomorrow

blueberry do you get to stay on this bus?

travelling delighted to see you here - welcome my dear!

Right, new tradition starting here. I bought myself a little present to open should af come (only three pairs of accessorize socks - but I got the lady to wrap them up :) It has taken the edge off a bit and now I have some funky new socks to take into next cycle. :)

No - don't leave us Blueberry. Hang out with us on this bus for a while. I know it must be really difficult, but in some ways I think it might help if you consider your first cycle on clomid as cycle 1 (and let's face it, given that chances of conception are only typically 20-25% per cycle even if you're ovulating and time everything perfectly, you have to be super lucky to get upduffed on cycle 1). You WILL get there. MrsE and Kitty both got their BFPs on cycle 2 of soy - so I'm keeping everything crossed that now that you're ov'ing you will get your BFP within the next few cycles.

Funny you should say that Cariad. Our peak day last month happened to fall when my younger brother and girlfriend were staying in the next room. I didn't want to miss the chance so we dtd anyway and now I like to think that was the successful time. It was very awkward though.

Great minds blueberry!

Our clinic is in s separate little building on the hospital site, no bumps in sight. Just other nervous couples avoiding eye contact! And lots of posters about adoption on the wall.... Hmmmm

Good luck tomorrow spinning I was pre warned that they do an internal ultrasound at your first appointment so I'm pre warning u! :-) its to check your womb shape and ovaries.

Welcome to the group travelling, I'm in the more than a year club. In fact I've been ttc 2 years in Dec. Its hard I know but we must stay strong x

Spinning Good luck lovely do expect a dildo cam my first visit entailed this and lots of questions for both you and dp.
I hate that its in maternity department seeing all the happy pregnant people makes me feel like crap.

mrsg id go for the hotel as well
Glad your lps better

Travelling Ive been trying 20 cycles now I know the feeling its not easy but the girls in here are lovely!

vicky sorry opks arent behaving just dtd eod and you should be ok

Spose I should jump off this bus onto December but even thinking about being into month 20 and December is making be feel extra depressed. All im doing at the moment is fighting depression and trying to distract myself

Welcome travelling and sorry you've been finding it tough. There are lots of people on here who have been trying a while too so hopefully you can find some comfort on the bus.

Thank you! I think if I started venting, I would never stop. Pleased to have found this place (thank you MrsG). Bloody hate this whole business and find it really hard to get support irl.

Haha cariad!! That brings back memories of being sneaky when a teenager how did we not feel the shame?! Clearly need to release our inhibitions

Missed post - welcome to the mad bus Lemony! Sorry things not going well at the moment :( we are all here to support each other though, these buses are brilliant, I have only been on a mn a couple of months but already feel like I am part of the pack and there is so much support and kind words for everyone

Welcome Travelling. Sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment. Don't be afraid to vent/ discuss your feelings on this thread, as we're all here to help each other.

Mrs G not ideal, but just do it first thing in morning I would say as probably most would still be asleep/getting up and likely to not be interrupted? Think we would do the same but I know what you mean it is awkward with other people in the house

Good luck MrsG. Let me know if you have any in-law survival hints and tips as I will no doubt need them! Amusingly though, there was much talk on this thread a while ago about how we all ought to start behaving like teenagers when ttc as they always seem to find it so easy to get upduffed, so perhaps having to engage in teenage style Dtd with parents in close proximity will in fact increase our chances of conception!

Can't believe that beyond this cycle, it will be January before DH and I have a parent-free zone to ttc.

Hi there, I hope it's ok for me to join this thread. I'm finding the whole ttc thing pretty tough at the moment. We've been trying for over a year and already have a DS. Would love to be able to think about this without crying!!

Hmmm, hotels are already crazy money. We'll have to get over it and dtd then. :)

MrsG if it doesn't cause an argument between you and dh you could ask them to stay in a hotel. Is there really no chance you'd dtd with them there?
