Welcome Rosie lovely to have you with us... not too much loud singing from the back though please :)

fled I know what you mean about suddenly finding it harder to concieve. DS was rediculously easy for us to concieve - 1st cycle and now we seem to be struggling to get no. 2. However i do know that many couples go through a lot more to have even one DC so I'm staying optimistic and counting myself lucky...

Hi there!!!!
Still in limbo here and waiting for AF to turn up
Had my private visit last night and the Dr was fantastic!!!!! I left that I was feeling more optimistic and I'm glad I booked him in the first place!!!

kat2504 · 30/09/2010 11:58

Hi all on the bus. Still waiting to be able to get my bus ticket, CD26 today would usually be due today but think Ov was late this time. I hate the waiting. Had several bfns and would really like to get on the bus with priority speedy boarding now!

inbetweener · 30/09/2010 15:21

Hello all,
Can I join you please.
Im totally new at all this but lets see if I have got this right. I am :
Inbetweener TTC#3 Cycle 3 CD23.

I dont know what UCL stands for and I was guessing that Cd stood for Cycle day ?? Was I right ?
I am kinds hoping that I have already fallen as I am due next friday and that would make it a June baby but Im not counting my chickens as I really dont think it will have worked .

I conceived DD1 after 6 cycles and I concieved DD2 while on antibiotics and missing 2 pills !!! So she is my miracle when you consider how hard this TTC lark !!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to join you all. I am at work all day so can chat away lol. I have never been on a TTC journey before with other people so would love to share x

Welcome Inbetweener lovely to have you on board. Would you like a seat at the front with chocolate and cake, or at the back with wine and cheese on a stick? :) UCL is usual cycle length.... Feel free to cut and past the stats into a new message and add your UCL or just post it up and someone else will do it for you.

kat Do you want to put yourself on the stats like luce and Inbetweener have done at the top of the list, then if AF turns up you'd just edit and move yourself down again... I assume you think your current cycle is a BFN :(

well AF finally decided to put in an appearance this morning so here I am joining you on the July bus.

I spent nearly an hour on the phone last night to my herbalist friend. It was a very interesting conversation and I feel more positive this morning about getting my body settled. She is going to come and see me at the weekend and do her final checks and then is going to sort out a little package of goodies for me. She's confident that she can help me conceive.
My BBT arrived and i temped yesterday and this morning just to get into practice.......today had dropped a lot from yesterday's reading, is that normal? I suppose i should go and do some reading about it all!

Have updated the stats (hope i got it all right) and added myself to the bottom.

KnackeredCow · 01/10/2010 12:43

Wait for me!

< KnackeredCow gesticulates wildly at the bus driver whilst running inelegantly down the road>

Are there any seats left? I come bearing wine (red and white to please all), and a very large tub or ice cream.

Have added my stats....

welcome on the bus! and to you tooQueenrollo
still waiting for AF to arrive so that I can officially join the bus but I like my seat at the back so I'll keep pestering you Grin
My BT keeps going up and down so not sure what's going on Confused

KnackeredCow · 01/10/2010 13:27

Thanks for the welcome Luce.

Maybe see you soon, or maybe the June bus doesn't have an AF stop for you? Grin

Luce2006 · 01/10/2010 13:35

KnackeredCow I would pay all in 1 pence pieces.....Grin
Well, I got hold of my seat a while ago and I'm not leaving it!!!LOL My periods are VERY irregular(anything from 19 days to 35) so i've got the feeling this is a long cycle
I'd actually prefer a July baby,just for the very silly reason that I've got loads of lovely summer dresses that would look gorgeous with a bump Grin (sily reason I know Blush )

KnackeredCow · 01/10/2010 13:59

Luce Not a silly reason at all. Just thinking about my wardrobe, I have a few empire line floaty summer dresses. I think they'd accomodate a bump quite nicely too. July baby sounds good!

Sorry to hear your cycles are a bit all over the place. Mine are regular, but DH and I have been trying for a year and no success yet. I suspect I'll be on the August bus and subsequent ones too! We've just been referred to FC. DH waiting to have SA done. My bloods and swabs have all been normal. Guess it will be an HSG for me next. Hmm

Hi girls please can I hop on your bus, I always read these and never actually joined so bit of a newbie.

My stats are

absentbump TTC #1 cycle 17 UCL 23-27 days

I think I have a leutal phase defect and I am trying to get to the bottom of why I start spotting 5 DPO then nothing then spotting form day 8 until AF so litterally spotting for about 10 days before AF. I always get my hopes up that is implantation but after last 10 months I've given up that hope. I've just got a referral for my first fertility appointment at the hopsital for 5 november so lets hope I can find out some info on why. Also I had blood tests and do ovulate on day 14/15. DH has had tests and not great result but is fertile luckily.

Anyway it is nice to meet you all and hope i can give advise as well as get your thoughts, AF turned up today propely so fingers crossed for a BFP this cycle and all the best of luck and fingers crossed for you ladies. I'm bringing lots of chocolate, glasses of wine on board!!!

inbetweener · 01/10/2010 16:38

hello all,
I popped into Boots last night on my way home from work and ended up buying a first response test.Blush Even though Im still a week away !!! Of course it was a big old BFN and now im annoyed and sad ! I dont know why I do it to myself. I guess falling so easily for DD2 I thought this would be a breeze.

Stupid me !!!

Still, a July baby sounds lovely, and will give me an excuse for being fat in summer for a change. Rather then just fat lol.

Actually thats a point. Im about 2 stone heavier now Blush then when I fell pg with my other 2. Could that be it ? Or is it the fact im 36 and ancient lol.

KnackeredCow · 01/10/2010 16:46

Hello absentbump

< KnackeredCow waves>

Good luck for your FC appointment in November. Let's hope that they can get to the bottom of it soon. Maybe the spotting is nothing to worry about? FX for you.

< Hmm rubs ankle, think I might have sprained it running for the bus - might need some wine paracetemol to numb it>

Brasso4 · 01/10/2010 22:10

Well just got rid of AF so the BD can begin in earnest!! Wink.

Before getting pregnant with DD I had cycles that lasted from 30-42 days, however, when I actually conceived my cycle must have been at its shortest - I missed OV with my Ov sticks, was convinced it was not going to happen and low and behold, BFP!!! Anyway - 18months on not sure what my cycles will be like but hoping to have fun trying (or more than I did last time when it got a bit stressful) I intend to enjoy my time on the bus.

I found last time that white wine considerably helped conception - Shock

Have a great weekend - hello to new travellers.

absentbump you'd missed off your CD so i've added it but let me know if you'd rather it was left off....

Thought i'd do the stats again and add mrsden in so it's all tidy and together.

I am in full blown 'cry at everything' AF mode Blush......and DS is being quite amusing too. I look at him and think how lucky i am to have him, and then want to share the joy of parenthood with DP (he is not ds father).....and i get all tearful. I see how much he loves DS and can't explain to him just how different is when you look at a child and think 'I created that, this little human being is part of me'

Oh dear.....i need a kick up the backside today.
