September is a month of new beginnings, maybe we'll have some new beginnings of our own. Hop on board the September Bus and let's see where it takes us.

SugarMagrundy I'm glad you've said that about no temp spike and still conceiving - I seem to be missing a temp spike this month despite being pretty sure I ovulated and had just about convinced myself this cycle is doomed. Maybe all is not lost after all

nymph good luck with the bloods today

Am now on 2ww (although usually more like 10 days for me) so will probably imaginefind some symptoms to report in the next couple of days.

nymphadora · 30/12/2009 19:07

? No just got 21 day one & Dh got a pot

UmBongo · 30/12/2009 18:53

Good Luck for the blood tests nymph and good luck for the yet another wait while the results come in. Have you had your day 3 bloods yet?

nymphadora · 30/12/2009 18:36

I have my 21 day test tomorrow, I HATE blood tests but at least it should tell me something....

SugarMagrundy · 30/12/2009 15:42

pointsmakeprizes last time I was doing this TTC business, I thought I hadn't ovulated one month (no spike and ov sticks -ve). But the result of that cycle is sitting here in his high chair eating a mince pie! so fingers crossed for you in a few days.....

pointsmakeprizes · 30/12/2009 15:09

I tested today for no apparent reason then sheer boredom and it was BFN!! Having a weird cycle, CBFM did not show peak at all though Fertility Friend has me at 8 dpo so am going to go with what FF says as charting is pretty reliable for me and don't want to entertain the thought of not ovulating this month after all the sex we have had - more than any month since we got married I think!!

Sugarma good luck with your testing, you are already a day late so looking positive.

Drkgpink hope it all works out for you, good sign that you are still getting good positives.

Eleanora congrats.

We really need more graduates, this is one slow bus.

SugarMagrundy · 30/12/2009 14:45

I am correcting my stats on today's list because I have realised that I am actually CD28 (I think I gave the wrong day when I joined the bus). One day I will be able to concentrate long enough to count past 10!

SugarMagrundy · 30/12/2009 14:14

I think I will test tomorrow, so I know how much champers I can have tomorrow night

We had a chemical pregnancy last cycle, so I am wary of testing too soon. Plus, I only have the el-cheapo Boots sticks!

Some news for the bus tomorrow then ... Good luck to you all...

drkgpink · 30/12/2009 14:00

fingers crossed everyone who's testing soon. My faint line was slightly stronger this morning within the 3 minute window but fear i may be becoming obsessed so my new year's resolution is not to test again for a week to give the hormones time to decide whether i am or i was. good luck everyone

SamanthaB123 · 30/12/2009 10:39

FrenchLimeBlossom The fact that you don't have any symptoms is probably quite a good thing bearing in mind that the pg symtpoms and af symptoms do overlap rather! I don't know how you are resisting testing...you are a much stronger girl than me!!! Good luck, fx for a BFP SB

FrenchLimeBlossom · 30/12/2009 10:17

Well I am resisting testing until the weekend unless AF arrives in the meantime.

I don't feel remotely PG, no (spurious, made-up, imaginary) symptoms, no AF symptoms either i suppose when I think about it. But whilst we do know roughly when I OV I think we missed the window this month.

Like some of you I have also indulged in a few glasses over Christmas, plus plenty of cheese and pate AND I forgot to take my folic acid with me so did not take it for a week ! Ah well, we had a nice week and was fairly relaxed so that's the main thing.....

Fingers crossed for drgpink and well done eleanora!

SamanthaB123 · 30/12/2009 10:01

Morning

There must be some testing going on a the top of the list surely. We need some good news on the September bus...I'm feeling a bit flat over here. Conception window is coming to an end and soon the waiting will start...

kawaiiko · 30/12/2009 00:50

Hi all

drkgpink I have my fingers crossed for you.

Nymph I've put a link in for the migracap here. It's a stretchy cap thing filled with gel pockets - you store it in the freezer and pop it on when migraine strikes. It covers your eyes too so you get complete blackout [blissed-out emoticon]. Also thinking it will come in very handy WHEN we all get pg and need drug-free pain relief!!

Ah, this pre-ov waiting is dull . I'm keeping myself entertained thinking of ways to increase my EWCM. So far I have evening primrose oil, green tea, grapefruit juice and robitussin (some kind of expectorant that - ahen - loosens everything up!). Anyone have any more ideas to throw in?

crumpetsolo · 29/12/2009 22:21

digitalgirl that all sounds horribly familiar - DS is 13 months and we've been trying for a month which is a bit earlier than I'd like as I was worried about it taking forever because of crazy deviant cycles. To be honest, there's no rhyme nor reason to my cycles, so we're taking a relaxed approach (the 2-3 days option!). Good luck!

Redbug · 29/12/2009 21:30

Just checking back in after christmas break!

Congrats eleanora, that's fabulous news.

I am not feeling even slightly, remotely, teensily pregnant, and AF is due in a couple of days. Ah well. I was ill when I OV'd, so the nearest we got was a couple of days before (maybe 3 or 4, actually), so it would have been a bit miraculous if anything happened.

Have also been merrily drinking (in extreme moderation, as I'm such a lightweight), so poor egg would have to be tougher than Arnie to get fertilised and hang on in there!

nymphadora · 29/12/2009 21:15

How did I miss Eleanora before - Sorry and Congrats!!!

What is everyone planning about holidays for next year? We were talking about going at easter with kids and expecting to be too pg to fly in the summer but now its getting later and later before I am that pg so may end up with summer as an option. Dh & I are planning long weekend at Hay in Whitweek as we have missed the last 2 festivals. Still have the option of RSC in the summer either way cos I think I'll manage that 7/8 months pg as the YPs play isnt that long.

Gracie14 · 29/12/2009 20:59

Hi,

I'd like to join please, I'm excited which makes me nervous as it took me 13 months to conceive my DS with a MC after 11 months and I got so obsessed with TTC I vowed that when trying for our next baby that I wouldn't get so stressed about it so here goes

Hope thats okay just slotting in, and congrats to elenora

Seriously drkgpink, if you're getting stronger results that's a good thing. When I looked into it I found plenty of stories of women who'd had quite heavy bleeding and spotting but still had a healthy pregnancy. So don't give up hope. I seriously hope you are one of the good stories I read.

OP posts:
digitalgirl · 29/12/2009 20:28

drkgpink sorry to hear you're bleeding along with a positive test. The waiting is so difficult. Maybe you could distract yourself with a glass of wine tonight, won't make any difference either way.

Crumpetsolo I'm also cursed with loooong cycles. DS is 16 months, but we started trying when he was 11 months. My 1st cycle was 8 weeks (not unusual for me). Then 10 weeks after that I got a BFP, which ended in MC. Strangely, after the MC I had a very short and light AF only 4 weeks later and am half convinced I ovulated super early too (possibly triggered by giving up breastfeeding). But I'm also holding out for another batch of EWCM as it could well have been a failed attempt to hatch.
Do you just have sex every 2-3 days throughout your entire cycle or do you wait for the EWCM?
