Hi everyone, I know I'm a bit late but can I join you guys on the October bus now I've been thrown off the September one? We're TTC #1 and it's my second cycle of trying!

pookypup · 11/01/2011 06:09

Hello Louby, good luck on this one!

InnocentRedhead · 11/01/2011 06:10

hey cep, well we would both be working out there, in casinos so good money out there. Only thing is i don't really want to bring a child into the world in another country due to past experience, feel better if i had access to med care over here. We have decided for the sake of our future and our family to not go ahead with it. It was an out there idea that was thrown into the mix but us trying for a child has really put that into perspective.

One thing i do need to talk about is that i feel the thought of babies is really consuming me, i don't think there is an hour that goes by without the thought of baby in my mind, probably most of the time actually. I am just frustrated that everything cant be quicker. the waiting to ovulate then the 2ww, it is horrendous. This is only the beginning of cycle three and i really don't know how to carry on like this. There are people out there that have to try for years and i understand this and i am not trying to say that what i am feeling is worse. ANy tips on how to just chill out on it basically, i just want it so bad and i don't know how to just try and lay back and relax a bit more
xx

pinkapples · 11/01/2011 06:44

Hey is there a seat on the bus for me was running along side have Joe managed to hop aboard ? Last cycle was unsuccessful for me on Clomid but it was my first so am looking forward to the next no stats yet as am taking Provera before AF x

TwoJackRussellsdefrosting · 11/01/2011 06:55

Hi there, can I join, fell off the September bus a week early :(

Am planning to just lurk though, have been a little focussed on all this baby making for the last couple of months, so hoping to relax a little about it all a bit.

Good luck y'all!!!

queenrollo · 11/01/2011 10:00

Well I got thrown off the Sept bus Sad AF got me this morning. Going to make an appt with the GP to get checked out as it's been over a year now with no luck.

innocentredhead i'm 13 months/11 cycles in now and honestly the first 4 were the worst for me. I was totally obsessed with it, and as I had irregular cycles back then it was even worse! That feeling will calm down honestly. This last cycle i've hardly posted on the bus and that's because i hardly thought about TTC. I never thought i'd reach a stage where i was laid back about it Grin

Sorry to all those who fell off the september bus. We were ttc for 11 months with DD1 one so I understand the disappointment. Fingers crossed for some positive news this month :)

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 10:55

Hello lovely ladies. I have just been unceremoniously thrown off the September bus due to nastly, evil AF...the bitch....arriving today Angry

I'm still not sure of my cycle length as I recently came off Cerazette, but nevertheless, here are my stats:

ShoopShoop TTC #1 Cycle 2 UCL ??? If 28 daye cycle, AF due 8th Feb.

Good luck everyone :)

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 10:55

daye?! I meant day...oops

sevendwarves · 11/01/2011 11:18

Christ, sounds like it's been a bad couple of days on the September bus!

Hi queenrollo and shoopshoop

Tamashii · 11/01/2011 13:28

My stats are wrong on the list but I am too scared to touch it in case I mess things up! I'm just gonna wait for someone with more knowledge to do it Blush

Tamashii TTC#2 CD 21 UCL 33-35

InnocentRedhead Unfortunately, I honestly don't think there are any ways to keep ur mind off the 2ww. We've been TTC for about a year now and I am STILL obsessively symptom spotting and wasting pee sticks during the 2ww. I try to pretend it's not going to bother me "this time" and I WILL wait until AF is late before peeing on anything but it NEVER works out like that. Sorry, not helping!

Anyways, hoping for some BFP's soon... including one for me (selfishly but I am just being honest cos I am getting sooooooo downhearted every time AF arrives).

arabella36 · 11/01/2011 14:04

Hello everyone.

Mrs B - I see you're only a week away from your AF due date. Are you going to be strong and not test early do you think?

I am on day 18 of 28-29 cycle and don't think I'll be able to resist using a first response 6 days early. Reprehensible I knowGrin

innocent - in answer to your question I can think of 2 things which may help. (1) Plan other things to do which can act as a distraction and something to look forward to. (2) Try to limit time on MN as it can encourage TTC-obsession. Easier said than done of course but good luckSmile

queenrollo - Good luck for your visit to the GP

Iggly - how're you getting on? Aren't you around the same cycle time as me?

marthamay · 11/01/2011 14:11

Sorry for all the people who fell out of September. October is the month!

Fingers crossed for all you guys - I can imagine it gets harder and harder each cycle the 2ww...

I'm only on CD 11 but already my DH is looking mighty fine....too early or not too early....not that it matters, I love it when my fertile-goggles come on!
Need to find a way to SWI this weekend I think. We will be staying with DH's parents so not the easiest thing in the world.
I'm not hopeful of my chances this month though becuase my DS has been breastfeeding so much more than usual, it really must be doing something to my hormones. I can always try though.

queenrollo · 11/01/2011 14:27

Adding shoopshoop and correcting Tamashii stats.

Had a chat with DP who says we need to wait and see what the GP says and deal with any results as they happen, as we shouldn't stress ourselves about 'what ifs?' and that even if we can't have a baby together he still loves me and couldn't be happier. Smile i must have been a really good girl at some point in my life to land such a good bloke.

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 14:45

Hi Innocent - just been reading through some of your previous posts and can totally relate to what you say. All I dream about is babies at the moment....about being pg, giving birth, being a mum, etc. It really is all consuming. I'm only on cycle 2 and so rationally I know it's early days....but unfortunately it doesn't stop me being impatient and frustrated! Angry

I'm not temping or opk-ing at the moment, but may start after a few unsuccessful cycles. On the plus side, MrShoop is being good and doing what he's told which is a good start!! I can't remember who posted it, but the sex pest comment was brilliant.... Grin

ShoopShoop · 11/01/2011 14:46

rollo thanks for adding me to the list Smile x

MrsB33 · 11/01/2011 15:03

hi arabella ive tested today the wait has been killing me!! I know its way to early, im due on the 18th, the test was a bfn...boohoo, but wat did i expect?? Its a cheapo ebay test too...
Not sure if i should go out a nd buy a first response test ready to test thursday?? What do you think?? Im scared, my first and last pg ended up in an mmc...

Iggly · 11/01/2011 16:52

Yep arabella we're similar I think. I got my OPK surge the day before yesterday but no SWI as DH and I fell out over something trivial. However, I did some reading and the surge could mean I ovulated 12-48 hours of said surge so there is still time (well today). I feel a bit more in an ovulating mood (ie randy, sorry if TMI) so will jump DH later Blush I've not had any EWCM and usually get a fair bit (again TMI Grin ) which is why I'm not too concerned. Yet. Ask me again in the 2ww!

tomatoplantproject · 11/01/2011 17:55

Hello all. I've just fallen off the September bus and after a day of sulking can I join the October bus please? Am hoping it's a little luckier this time around.
