the September bus is coming, hop aboard..

[broodywantcoilout]

hi, this is probably a weee bit early for some ppl, but im waiting til end of this month to ttc (the desperation, brooding over other peoples babies and feeling jealous of pregnant women , thinking of names and waiting 2 symptom spot kicks in)
so come along and join the journey to motherhood!

Thanks for the add TwoJackRussells! I might be up next - or I might be last.. who knows...

MrsHende it sounds promising - well done for having the restraint to wait 12 hours!

Good luck MrsHende

Hi to all the new passengers. Good luck to everyone, hope we get some BFP's soon.

I'm SWI and waiting for +opk and EWCM - hope it comes soon.

Not looking positive for me - starting to feel like AF might be around the corner, although I still won't know for sure for a few days.

Ah well, can't be helped - fingers crossed for everyone else on the bus!

Hopefully see some BFPs soon!

Fingers crossed that you're wrong English Country Girl.

Another BFN this morning. Not a surprise really but it's never not disappointing.

I'm now on day 35 of my cycle. Last month AF arrived on day 25! Does anyone else have such an irregular cycle?

Morning MrsHende, mine varies between 28 and 33 days and I never know exactly when it will arrive. Fingers crossed you get a BFP soon and it's just not showing yet.

We've been SWI all week and I got a positive OPK stick yesterday, so hopefully we've done enough but who knows, it's only month 2.

This is probably a bit TMI for first thing on a Weds morning but can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do about the fact that almost the minute we've finished SWI everything... ahem... falls straight back out again?! I mean, is it's work done after a few minutes or should I try and keep it up there a bit longer by sticking my legs up in the air or something?

I suppose what I'm asking is, do you guys do anything different when you're SWI now that you're TTC? blushes furiously and runs away

Hi Gobolino, don't worry, some of the "swimmers" will have arrived in the right place. After all it only takes 1!!
Some people put their legs in the air for a few mins, or pillow under hips - you hear lots of funny techniques on mums net, hee hee

Evening all,

Goblino, we often SWI at night and then lay around for a bit, doing the cuddling thing, which is always nice anyway .

Way TMI now, but I'd also make sure that after your OH is done he makes sure that you orgasam (spelling?) cos that should be good for getting them little boys where they should be going, plus its darn good fun too!!

Anyway, hope it helps and wasnt too much....

TMI ALERT

and alert

k, i may sound wrong saying this but....receently my dh has had this thing where he tries (and succeeds) in making sex last longer, i dont like it quick as then no time 2 orgasm, but......as soon as im about to he'll change position or something, or keep going 2 try get me 2 orgasm again-which wen its all wet in there after the 1st time idoesnt come easily....do u think i should carry on and not say anything as i know hes doing it 2 try and please me, or any ideas for ways 2 break it 2 him gently-i dont want it 2 go on all night!

Gobolino have sex with pillows under your bum, feels good too!

WHOAH broodycoildsout U have one attentive DH there! Know what u mean about not wanting it to go on all night tho

We SWOI (hadn't even started peeing on OPK sticks) but I thought I would test the next day and I had strong positive that faded in the evening. Should I even be mildy excited this month since we never got round to SWI since DP was away the next 2 nights after... I've read that sperm can live up to 72 hrs waiting for the egg to pop out but I have also read it's realistically(sp?) only 2 hrs so I'm just wasting my time symptom spotting this month.

I ashamedly have already POAS BFN of course as I am only 6 DPO anyway but I just could not resist. Why is is so difficult!?! I thought being on here would STOP me POAS but there you go.

Anyway, good luck to you all again and I really hope we get BFPs asap!

Hi tamashii, sounds like you've SWI at exactly the right time, so fingers crossed that you'll get the result you want

Really?!? I thought it had to be ON the day you get OPK+ then a couple of days after the OPK+ so since we did it the day before the OPK+ I've no chance!!!

Yay. I'm off to do some more 2ww symptom spotting then!

Your're most likely to conceive if you SWI in the couple of days prior to ovulation as then the sperm will be in the right place and waiting when the egg arrives. The sperm last a lot longer than the egg.

I have found this link www.countdowntopregnancy.com/earlypregnancysymptoms/chart_dpo.php?dpo=6 to show what some women have felt symptomwise on their 2WW.

It's just for fun really to try and pass the time until it's properly time to test. Don't know how accurate they are but it says "experienced by pregnant women" so I assume this means the women reporting these symptoms went on to have BFP...

Just in case you are interested :) Hope it doesn't prolong the agony of the 2WW...

[sticks hand out]. Stop the bus please!

Is there space here for another one? Am hoping it's a lucky bus for all you lovely ladies (and a little bit selfishly for me too). AF hit me a couple of days ago and I?m sulking that I'm not pg so reckon I should come clean and we should actively start trying. DH is super enthusiastic - especially about the "trying" bit.

I've just worked out dates, and I'm going to be most fertile over Christmas and we're staying with the ?rents.... it's an old house where you can hear every squeak. We were laughing last night about my traditional old dad?s reaction in the morning .

Any hints and tips gratefully received! I?ve tried to add my stats below ? hope I?ve done it right (I don?t have a degree in mumsnetting!)

I have EWCM today so wish DH would hurry home! I haven't been drinking the grapefruit juice this month but I seem to have loads more EWCM this time than I did when I was drinking it last month. I'm very pleased about that because I hate grapefruit juice!

Jojay BFP 1st Dec

HI mrsden and tomato, I've added you above, welcome aboard :)

I've taken rugbywidow off the bus, she got a BFP on the last bus, so big congrats to her :)

Any word from Morayrose?

Argh, seems I'm up next, def dont feel pregnant but if AF is late I dont doubt I'll be POAS every morning till she turns up, only four days to go!!!!

Please can I join the bus

TTC#1 Cycle14(!) CD32 AF due 24 Dec

I'm getting bored now but mumsnet does help

Hey Level, you're already on this bus

Oh yes, so I am. There are so many people that I couldn't see myself in the middle!

Afternoon ladies, hi new peeps.

Some of you seem to have very attentive OH's, lucky things. Had to pursued DH this morning to DTD, don't like to but needs must!!

Still not had a +ve OPK, first month of using them, but FF thinks I'll be OV today so maybe I missed the surge or FF is wrong. Or there's something up with me

Will use the OPK's for a few more days and keep up the SWI and then I guess just wait and see.

Hello, could I hop on?

Bumpsadaisie, TTC#2, have DD aged 18 months, cycle 1, AF due 3 January.

(Is that right?)

Thanks!

I think I'm about to leave the bus. I've got all the usual symptoms so I think AF is about to make an apperance.

Roll on next month!

Just wanted to say thanks for all your replies - funny how TTC makes you question things that have never been an issue before!

Moray it's not over till it's over that's what I say! Good luck.
