****October bus ready to depart****

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

I think looking back to my last cycle I had some ewcm at about normal time then a second batch about 2 weeks before AF eventually arrived so may have either not ov'd or it was delayed. I was poorly at the very start of my cycle and I did also have a bit of stress around the time when I originally thought I ov'd(got scared shitless by being way to close to an armed robbery ) So it may well have been a one off long cycle.
We shall see.
Have bought loads of ebay cheapie tests so I can start testing way too early and not have to worry.

It seems to depend where you look for dates. On the due date calculater on here I come up as 1st Oct if I use the same cycle length as my last cycle but end of sept if I use lower. Hence the hopping from bus to bus lol.

hi everyone can i join you?

me and dh stopped ttc after lots of personal problems, but have now decided to try again. i've had 2 mc and have been told i will have lots more, basicly getting pregnant is the easy part, staying pregnant is the hard part. i have a gyne appointment on the 14th to see what she will recommend, but we have decided to start ttc now.

digital girl your due date would be 40 weeks after the first day of your last period. (technically that would put me on the september bus, but there are lots of people on there and i'm scared!) and you would get your bfp on the first day of your next period.
e.g my forst day of my last period was 18th dec 1009, 40 weeks later is 30th sept 2010, my next period is due 23rd jan 2010 so that would be when i found out...digitalgirl does that make sence?

digitalgirl · 05/01/2010 14:31

Doh, meant earliest for due oct bfp wouid be 19th/20th Jan. Stupid dg - must be a symptom. Even though I'm only on cd3.

digitalgirl · 05/01/2010 14:28

ooh, the list is getting longer! Very exciting. From when does a bfp mean it's an October baby? Is it if you ovulate on the 8th Jan you get a 1st Oct due date, so the earliest bfps for that could be 29/30th Jan? That's aaaages away.

Added kelah as she dropped off somewhere.

Liking the idea of a 10/10 baby to match my 08/08 DS!

Hi everyone! Just hopped off the September bus and hopping on to this one. I have a feeling I didn't ovulate last month due to stress - I am always very aware of when I ovulate. Now that I've de-stressed over Christmas I intend to be extremely healthy this month and hopefully things will go back to normal.

Nancydrewrocks - that must be so disappointing after the excitement of a + test I think you always count from first day of bleeding, even if it's late.

Anyway added self to stats:

Hi Ladies I am joining (although hedging bets as also right at back of September bus!)

I tested + last cycle but started bleading 5 days late - I guess that was a chemical so now moving onwards and upwards and trying again. Not sure whether to count my cycle from day 1st day of missed period or first day of bleading. If no implant would subsequent ovulation be affected? Anyway will see how I go....

digitalgirl · 04/01/2010 19:43

stuffedmk ewcm is before ovulation. The day you dry up is probably the day you ovulate or the day after. It's what the sperm needs to survive in your body for more than a couple of hours. And having sex before you ovulate is more important than after as you want the sperm hanging around waiting for the egg. Some eggs only last 12 hours, can be impossible to time sex with actual ovulation - which is why we produce ewcm.

Based on last cycle and my longest cycle I have a potential fertile window about 4 weeks long. It's going to be a fun January .

QueenFee · 04/01/2010 19:35

Can I jump on the bus?
I have no idea of my cycle length as I have been pregnant / breastfeeding / IUD for the last 6 years However DC3 is now 6 months and we have decided to TTC. It may be a while though as still breastfeeding and no sign of AF yet, still I can be optomistic!
