The May Bus

[digitalgirl]

I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

YAY vino

Lib, do you mind my asking about your chat with your GP? I've put off going to mine as I'm 39 and just figure that I should expect it to take a while at this age (although not this bloody long - over 2 years now, including 2 mcs).

If there's anything useful that came out of the talk then I'd be reeeeeeeeeally interested. Am desperately glugging grapefruit juice, taking my agnus castus (and folic acid, of course) and forcing zinc down DH. I'm pretty sure I ovulate every month as I get very clear symptoms so I've not been using OPKs or temping - they all seem a bit confusing and I'm not sure what I'd gain as I make sure we SWIing at the right time each month.

Hope you don't mind me grilling you but I am getting slightly desperate now (tick tock) .

Can someone take me off the bus please when the list is updated?
I'm still bleeding (have been on my AF for 30 days and counting) have seen GP who doesn't think it's anything serious but has referred me for a scan
so we are taking a break from ttc until it's all sorted
Best of luck to all of you x

Prinpo if I were you I'd book in to see the GP pronto. They say you should seek advice after 6 months of ttc if you're 35+ (it's 12 mths for the young 'uns) - I'm only on cycle 4 and if it doesn't happen for me next month I'm booking an appt ASAP (am 38)! After all, what harm can it do?

omnomnomtom sorry to see you go, hope all OK - apart from anything else what a freaking nightmare having a whole month of AF. You must be totally sick of it.

Lib thanks for the encouragement, am quite sure it's not happened for me this month but will hang on till AF shows up anyway. Glad you had a good chat with the GP, sounds promising.

Hello all

Time for me to delurk and join the May bus! This is me (I hope I've done it right):

TTC#1 Cycle 4 UCL ??? CD 20

Since I came off the pill I've had cycles of 34, 22 and 40, the longest one being a CP when I had a BFP and then disappointment. :(

Gotta just keep on trying though!

Hi everyone!!

I've been lurking for a while :) and this has been a very lucky bus!

I'd love to hop on! I've been off the pill for 6 months but this is the first month TTC! I am trying to take a relaxed approach but DH is already sick of me talking about it all so I might be failing...

TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL 30 CD11

Congrats to all the BFPs!

Morning all!

Omnom poor you, AF for a month is horrendous, hope the scan goes well.

Welcome delurkers Goldmaple and MrsP :)

Prinpo might be worth doing OPKs/temping for a couple of months. I thought I was ov regularly due to having a 28-day cycle you could set your watch by. But this month ov was day 13 and last month it was day 15 so it seems to randomly vary. Might give the doc something more to go on too? Having said that, if you've had two BFPs in 2 years you are about on track conception-wise for us mid/late-30s types - just rotten they both ended in MC. :(

Prinpo sorry didn't respond sooner

i told my gp i had been TTC #2 since Dec and that my cycles were irregular. She is doing various blood tests including day 21 progesterone, which i need to go back for. She said that if i hadn't conceived by Oct she wants DH to hand in sample and thereafter if still not pg will refer me. She did seem to think it was environmental (i.e harder second time when toddler in tow!)She did suggest that she would do i private referral rather than wait for nhs as i am 35 next yr and nhs wouldn't take me on!!

I asked her about angus castus and she wasn't a fan but she was very much for opks.

Hope this helps

still no af here, and still no positive test.

i am seriously sulking now.

any tips guys?

CharlottesClan Sorry for your BFN, hang in there. How many days post-ovulation are you? It could still be early days for the hormones. Maybe wait til Sat if you can bear it and retest if no AF. Big hug and hope you get your BFP soon.

no idea when i ov'd as i get no symptoms and havent got round to buying any opks.

i can wait till sat morning, the whole thing was stressing me out too much, so im pretending im on the 2ww wait still... lmao

Hi everyone. Feels like I ovulated about 5 and a half years ago, in reality it was last Wednesday. That is with a full on busy weekend with friends visiting, working 12 hour days since with evenings busy doing gym, housework etc. You would think time would be going quickly. Dreading the fact that over the bank holiday weekend I will be 10/11/12 DPO - I need severe punishment if I test early, ok?!

Lobyd, Nicolaplus1, and Tigersmummy have you guys tested?

Morning ladies. Feel abit here. Is DH's birthday so did a sneaky first response and its a BFN. Hes a bit down too. Suppose im also annoyed as we are going on holiday on Sunday so will have AF for my week away

not going to give up completely but think i need to claim my seat at the back if the June bus

Oh well the Fat Lady hasnt sung just yet but pretty sure this isnt my month, did a Poundland test this morning (11 DPO) and was neg and have got the bloating even tho Ive not eaten carbs since yesterday lunch time, AF due on Sunday, suspect will get an early appearance tomorrow and then start properly the day or two after.

Gah.

:(

Okay well two cycles down isnt too bad I guess, still got three cycles before we travel to NZ then we have to miss a cycle for being apart but then DH will be with us but then we are with his parents, I think their room is upstairs at the bach (house at the beach) and ours is downstairs... we can make that work LOL Good incentive to carry on weight watchering as wont have preggy belly to blame for podgeyness.

tiny woo hoo loopy fingers crossed for you.

kiwi bummer..but not over yet...

fled :( for you, but don't give up till AF shows - you've still got a few days to go, no?

Loopy cautious hurrah! a TWP is still a P. Keep on with those cheapies and fx for you. Glad you had a good time away and made the most of it.

Over here my temps are up and down (the latter today) and pretty sure I'll be clambering aboard the June bus today, tomorrow or Sat. Don't really have any symptoms and not feeling it this month. Ah well, onward and upward...

:( loopy :(

still no af here, no symptoms of either pregnancy or beig due on.

feel a bit in limbo

oh Loopy I am sorry. See you on that June bus very shortly.

CharlottesClan you must be climbing the walls. No news could be good news, though...?

enjoy the gin loopy. so sad to hear that :( but ive got some tonic here, so may well be pinching off you if i ever find out either way!

zinnia, i am climbing the walls. whats got to me is that im on weak medication for my eye ulcers because i might be, and they are not clearing up so i really need to be on steroid drops and strong creams.

that and i REALLY need to know

cant afford to buy any tests till next tuesday so im just going to hang tight here and hope af comes (or i start throwing up or something!!) in the meantime to stop me going completely barmy.

Hi all,sorry to hear AF got some of you
No AF or preg symptoms at the mo for me but plenty of time for AF to turn up.DH always seems to be in a different country when i ovulate (i think he does it on purpose).Doubt im preggers this month as only managed the deed once and think it was wrong time.Its my birthday in a wk and would be so nice to get a BFP as a present.

So sorry Loopy same thing happened to me this month...enjoy the gin, sending hugs x
