[AmandaCooper]

Ding ding ding all aboard! I've been waiting for this bus since November 2009!!!

Hi amanda! I think I'm on every thread going now. Trying to keep myself busy through ttc.
My feet are up and cup of very strong alcohol caffiene free coffee in hand :).
Having a particularly crappy day today so came on hear to speak to some lovely people and cheer myself up.
Hope you are ok? Is this your first month of ttc now then?

That should have said very strong alcohol

Don't leave without me please! Not new to MN but I am new to the TTC threads, so if I've understood properly ...

TTC no. 3, CD4, UCL 27

Nice to be on board

Bringing chocolates to the bus. Feeling a bit rubbish today due to evil period and little sleep due to being constantly woken up by manflu sufferer next to me. For the third day in a row!
Looking forward to a chilled nye with friends. What are you all doing?

If you're going to start a list, the last two buses have used due date of next period rather than cycle day. This means that nobody has to bother changing the cd numbers each morning.

Thanks Amanda I'm going to get one. No lie ins for me with DS (14 months) so temping is doable.

Anyone got plans for NYE? we've got none - DH has the tail end of the norovirus so isn't up to much. Am worried that getting on this bus may have been a bit rash!

Hi Iggly, hope you don't take offence if I take a seat far away from you on this bus.

I'm looking forward to tonite and plan to have lots of nice drinks while I can! Just going to a nearby friend's house for party though so no taxis to worry about, which is usually the part of NYE I hate.

Happy New Year fellow-TTC-ers!

Crap, :( and !! I'm sure that explains what has happened here!

Hope everyone has a lovely NYE. There shall be lots of alcohol coming my way I think :)

Well that was a short journey! It seems I am leaving the bus everyone. DH and I had a conversation yesterday and, having never really been 100% on board with the ttc plan, he has had an epiphany - but wants to stop smoking and drinking and improve his diet for a short while. So we're going to wait together for the January bus and in the meantime we wish you all well!

I know many of you anyway, so I'm sure I'll see you around MN. Happy new Year!

Sorry you're leaving Amanda, but good luck when you board the January bus, although hopefully none of us will join you there!

Hi Amanda sorry you're leaving. Happy New Year and good luck on the January bus xx

Thanks guys! Good luck xxx

Hi Amanda sorry to see you go and good luck for January!

This is my first ever attempt at putting a list in order, so apologies for inevitable mistakes! Until now hadn't even worked out how to add my stats to a list

I need to check yoshi's stats for a start...

Feel free to point out mistakes

Hi everyone, I'd really like to join the bus but I'm not sure what stats to put up - please can someone explain?! This will be my first month of trying and I'm currently living overseas for the next year or so, so would really value the support!

Thanks, Tallie

Sorry CMD83

Hi Tallie, TTC refers to whether your trying to conceive your first, second child etc. CD is the menstrual cycle day you are on. UCL is usual menstrual cycle length.

Great, thanks for explaining that Arabella. I think my stats are:

tallie123 TTC1 CD28 UCL 29

Please can anyone tell me if I can just use a normal oral thermometer to chart my temp? Thanks!

Hi arabella unfortunately now on cycle6 cd2 as the evil witch got me yesterday. New stats below for you x

TTC#1 CYCLE 6 CD 2 UCL 25-32

Hi tallie you need to use a special basal thermometer as the normal ones aren't sensitive enough. You can but them for a few quid on eBay tho. I got 35 OV tests, 15 early pg tests and a thermometer for £11.

Sorry Iwish, and best of luck to you for this month [fingers crossed emoticon]

iwish, was just reading your stats thinking wonder if you,d had a bfp yet or not, fingers crossed 2011 is the lucky year for us all. This has to be the lucky thread surely.
Im mid my fertile window but still havent got 2 lines on the ov sticks yet??? Got all the normal symptoms ect so fingers crossed it works this month, using my pre-seed and getting plenty of practice in!! What more can i do?
Tried temping but my temp hasnt lifted beyond 96. Yet, which doesnt even register on my temp chart... Can anyone offer any advise? Thanks ladies

Hi Iwish I'll see if I can track some down on eBay, I'm currently in Canada and everything seems much more expensive than the UK so to get some at that price would be great!

Thanks for adding me to the list Arabella.

Hi MrsB, how long have you been trying this time? Is your cycle regular?

That's ok arabella and thanx :). So when do you think you will OV?

mrsb I wish I had got a bfp. I actually thought if have a 30 day cycle but seems I only had a 11 day lp this time. Oh well maybe I'll get an October baby, which should be between mine and DPs birthdays. You are on cd11 aren't you? So if say you OV on cd14 and have a 14 day lp you should get your lines on cd12/13. I ov'd on cd16 last cycle but only got 2 lines on cd15 and they weren't even as dark as the test line but I only had a 11 day lp. Keep going with them, I did 2 a day from cd10!
Can you post your chart?
