OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

Sorry nymph though you were day 21 yesterday, and from reading one of your posts you thought day 21 would be today??? What CD are you?

QandA if you give us your stats, someone will add you to the list

Nymphadora · 03/02/2010 20:46

I say day 21 today as well, did someone move me or am I stuck

Would rather not repeat today, started with a strop at DH , then repeatedly stabbed with needles and now have a swollen hand, shit day at work (cried in supervision), tried to apply for more jobs and website crashed,currently trying to persuade DH I dont have to work if I dont like it . He looks like I look like

LadyBee · 03/02/2010 20:26

Well, I'm sorry but at least now I know for sure I'm out. AF turned up and is definitely here (ouch).
This was my first bus and I found it helped hugely get through the month. Thanks ladies and good luck!

Hi All

haven't posted at all this cycle but have been checking daily. Anyhoo CD30 for me don't feel at all optimistic as only really DTD twice around the right time.

If no AF by Friday will POAS. We so need some more BFP's!!!!

Fairygodmother1 · 03/02/2010 20:01

I was just looking at the stats (good thinking with stalking checking people's status with af) and thinking that there's gotta be some more BFP!!!

I'm not convinced it'll be me but keep holding on to the hope!

Hi All,
Sorry for lack of posting - middle of complicated house buying process ({smile}) which is taking all my internet time!
Well still here too - don't know whether AF is coming or not - had tiny tiny speck of spotting on Monday and crampy Tues evening and nothing since............would have tested today but no tests in the house.........

pointsmakeprizes · 03/02/2010 19:35

God am on CD 18 already - no sign of Ovulation yet. I'm so bored of it all now, I've just lost the will to ttc.

FrenchLimeBlossom · 03/02/2010 17:17

Well I am feeling a bit odd at the mo, had a huge crying jag last night (usually a precursor to AF's arrival) but have odd twinges in my womb which are just not me, was nauseous this am, and do not feel otherwise pre-AFy IYKWIM . Have convinced myself it is not happening this month though, so will just expect AF to turn up tomorrow as usual. I feel so un pregnant.

Hope you all are feeling more lucky! I am looking forward to seeing a few BFPs for the rest of you soon!

stuffedmk · 03/02/2010 17:02

That's the problem with cheapy tests...you just can't help yourself lol.

lucybrad · 03/02/2010 16:40

tested today even though i was convinced i didnt ovulate this month. bought twenty cheapys and couldnt resist. BFN though, and now have pre AF cramping.

digitalgirl · 03/02/2010 15:54

Gulp. Fourth from the front I am practically driving this bus.

Nothing to report here. Am convinced that my current body status is 'luteal' and with dh working all hours have even given up SFF. Quite sad really. Relationships do require effort but I feel like it's pointless trying to do anything at such a busy time for dh and I'm likely to end up disappointed (and tired from waiting up so late). It will pass and hopefully we can get back on track.

Don't think he'd go for toys and DVDs. Besides, it's too risky with ds, the cleaner and my mum rummaging through all our drawers on a regular basis.

BUnderTheBonnet · 03/02/2010 14:44

I've been stalking stumbled upon a few people posting on other threads that AF got them, so I've taken them off the list, to make updating a bit quicker.

BTW, when I said "all the men I knew ", I didn't mean all at the same time, and not in the biblical sense, you know. I was purity personified, I was, too worried about getting pregnant - hah!!

LadyBee · 03/02/2010 14:28

I think we could do with a bit of variation for next month too, we're every other day types too but by the fourth or so time it does start to get a bit...oh, really, ho hum
Isn't it weird? When I was a young thing I swear the idea of a regular bonk would have had me and all the men I knew yahooing and leaping into the breach. Now it sometimes just seems like another thing to be crossed off the list...

  • folic acid, check
  • grocery shopping, check
  • tidy away toys, check
  • brush teeth, check
  • sex, yawn, check.

There is still a flicker of that younger me though, I live in hope of someone asking me 'so when was the last time you had sex then' and proudly being able to answer, "last night and this morning"
Not that anyone asks....but they might

So anyway...am still in limbo. No AF, no BFP. Tested this morning and still a BFN. Still getting AF-on-its-way feelings without AF. This is quite unusual for me, normally I feel quite normal up to 1 day before when I'm a bit bloaty, get crampy in the evening and get AF late at night.
Had a cry last night when cramps were annoying but not even the tiniest spot of spotting, mostly out of frustration and disappointment, but also sheer annoyance that my body can't even just get on with AF so I can move onto the next cycle...instead is torturing me with this "it's coming, it's coming ..oh no it's not" stuff.

Bah. I need chocolate. Except that I've decided that my next trick is to really really really try to lose weight. That being something that I want to do and will help up my chances of conception seeing I'm overweight.

Will have to be satisfied with a virtual instead.

QandA · 03/02/2010 14:11

Hello, can I join?

I decided late in to the month that we would start TTC (but that's a whole other thread, so am coming here to start afresh!)

We already have one DC and have not done very well this month, having not done any of the recommended things to aid conception, however we did SWI (can't see this on the acronym list and all I came up with is 'sex with Intent'?!)
yesterday which is right on my due ovulation date and I had all the signs and will manage a few extra tries over the next couple of days, so though it is unlikely, you never know

Loujalou · 03/02/2010 12:13

at mask. I think you need things to liven it up as otherwise it gets a bit dull. Me personally like something a bit but not too kinky it feels like you are having sex for fun and not just to make a baby.

Lia I will sit on your hands for you on day 23. Am on day 21 and no testing til day 27.....

liahgen66 · 03/02/2010 11:46

Thanks for welcome, budge up lou Yes please to choccy biccy.

So we SWI for the first time since I got pregnanty last night and to be honest it was a bit dull and Oh god here we go again. ( I had been paraniod about mc as i mc the day after we had sex last time it happened, so it had been 7 wks)Turns out I needn't have been paranid sonext time am just gonna have sex for fun once we get a bfp anf hope for the best.

So was actually wondering what I could do to liven it up for tomorrow, (we going for the every other day method) Had just put away all our naughty stuff few days before I found out about this mmc so will have to have a look I think. ( I know the mask hasn't had an outing for a while) and found a dvd stuffed in the back of a drawer that we haven't sen for a while.

Just wanna put ome fun back into it. Can't be wrong can it?

stuffed try not to worry about it, these little swimmers can surprise us when we least expect it. When I fell pregnant this time, I had been off the temping, ov sticks etc for a couple months and just had sex every other day. That was when it worked, so whether a combination of relaxing a bit and regalar not not too frequent sex who knows but something worked. Good luck to you.

I most certainly will not be testing early this month, this is the new relaxed me. (somebody will have to remoind me of this about cd23 )

Come on ladies, bfp's to get the ball rolling. x

stuffedmk · 03/02/2010 09:32

Well FF is telling me I ovulated on Sunday so three days after last SWI (presuming it's correct that is )
Not impossible, but I will try not to get hopes up....yeah right, who am I kidding lol.
Have loads of pee sticks so will prob test from 10 dpo. I would say I will wait until I am late but that will never happen so instead I am giving into my poas addiction.
So at 3 dpo that's a week to wait then
anyone

Loujalou · 03/02/2010 09:20

Lia I am not sure we want you here , if I move over you might be able to fit in. Here's some chocolate biscuits and nice ice cream.

We need some more bfps. All seems a bit subdued on the bus. I think we need another talk about Ann Summers and secret drawers, that usually lightens the mood. I think I need a visit there myself . Not sure what to get....

I am not testing til next Weds as that is when the witch is due. Have tested early before and its all led to tears.

LadyBee · 02/02/2010 21:47

Well, I've been feeling like AF is about to come and then it hasn't for three days now. This is driving me crazy. Every evening about now I get 'the feeling', I spend most of the night dashing upstairs to check what's going on. And nothing is...so far.
I don't work tomorrow, so I might try another test, assuming AF doesn't appear overnight. Feeling more and more like it will as I type though. Oh, so annoying. When it didn't turn up last night I was thinking...well, maybe I was luckly after all? but now. Buggeration.

Sorry mumofzac

Nothing going on over here. Do not even have pre-af symptoms today. No cramps, no back ache, no nothing.

Fairygodmother1 · 02/02/2010 20:37

Nymph I'm sure it'll be fine cos if day 21 had fallen on a sunday you'd have had to go on the monday! But give them a call to make sure you can't change it.

Poor DH. Hope it eases a little soon.

liahgen66 · 02/02/2010 20:29

Just popped on to say hello to some old faces

louja and umbongo and nymph If I was very very lucky this cycle I would be due 1st November (dh's birthday, is it a sign? ) so could in theory pop on here every now and again.

Just wanted to say nymph that when I had my progesterone bloods done and I was a day out, it actually did make a difference, ie they might look a bit low, and so had to repeat them. Might be worth giving docs a call and asking as if it matters it could be a month wasted and we all know how precious time and cycles are.

Good luck everyone.
