The October bus is here!!!

[AmandaCooper]

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

AmandaCooper TTC#1 CD1 UCL 31 days

innocent when was your last af? And what cd was your last SWI?

Re the temping the temp change isn't so much of a change that you'd feel it I don't think. I've attached my charts so you can see the temp change. The top one is my current chart and the bottom is my last cycle. chart I ov'd on cd16.

Its awful the not knowing isn't it. My 4th cycle drove me insane, my cycles have been 25-27 days but on cycle 4 af hadn't arrived by cd30 and I got bfn! Eventually af arrived so my cycle was 32 days.
I hope this Is your cycle x

My last AF started 7th December, and me and DP SWI most days, when we have time, this morning in fact (can't get enough of each other still, it's lovely, sorry if TMI) I had my implant removed on the 13th of Nvember (my body should be settled but in a way that i still wouldn't know of lol!) so we haven't being trying that long, but it's not the fact of BFNs that im scared of at this moment (i know these things take time) i just want to know my body really.

I'l probably start charting when i actually get my AF.

Like i said im new to TTC so i don't really know all the things like charts and that so all help (thanks Iwish) is FAB. But fingers crossed that is my cycle

Just updating the stats Ladies, hope nobody minds. Realised that I am on cycle 11 not 10 so fixed that too. Have added everyone who asked to be added, please feel free to fix any mistakes!

Just lurking til I get kicked off September bus

mrsb33 ttc#2 cd 15 ucl 28 af due 18th jan. Just updating

I'm confused my af is due 18th jan which bus should I be on?!?

mines due on the 18th jan, this is the correct bus.... I think? If you get a bfp on the 18th then you,d technically be 4 weeks, i think that kinda makes sense.

Boarding the bus and ever hopeful for a great start to 2011.

I'm on my 4th cycle but DH and I are trying not to get too bogged down with TTC. It is hard not to though...

onadietcokebreak- use the due date calclator (on the right near the top of the page). You just put in when your last AF started and your UCL and it works out when your due date would be.

Hello the Octber bus ladies :)

Just added myself onto the bottom there, CD1 toady...

today even...

Flippin eck this bus is getting busy, we'll be standing up soon

Welcome jaggy moray mrsb onadietcokebreak and doflies

Gaawwd it is busy. Well AF arrived today, i think, got small stabbing pains on my right hand side abdomen and pinky, brown spotting!

Im hopeful that its just spotting, but the realism in me is saying its AF just tricking me by not giving symptoms

I'm actually quite gutted, but i don't have to get off the bus yet, based on a 30day cycle i will be on again on the 5th

Good luck to all you new ladies :)

Hi innocent I'm sorry if it is af. Hopefully its implantation if af isn't actually due yet.

Well cd7 now so now just waiting for the eggy :)

Thats the thing it was day 30 today so im guessing i have a 30 day cycle.

You got your OV kits ready Iwish?

x

innocent I've got some OV sticks at the ready but only a couple and the others are in the post lol. Are you using OV kits? And are you temping?
At least you have an idea about your cycles, I came off the pill and my cycles have been different lengths, 27, 25, 26, 32 then 27 again!
x

iwish those cycles are not massively irregular so I wouldn't worry. Mine vary a bit, recently between 28 and 31 days. As far as I am concerned, if I get a period every month I'm happy, I'm not bothered if it's a day or two early or late. Sounds like 26 or 27 is normal for you, the long cycle just a one-off, were you not feeling well that month?

I'm gonna start temping, got ov sticks at the ready for this cycle now.

How do you temp, i've tried looking at the charts and i am clueless xx

Ive been temping since August, now on cycle 7 - I take it about 5am every morning orally and then plot it on FF when I get up. They recommedn a period of at least 3 hours uninterupted sleep but as a poor sleeper I rarely get this so wasnt sure how accurate it would be.

But I can def see a pre and post ov pattern, where my temp goes up after ov and stays up - till AF always arrives and sadly it plummets.

Should have added this to.

Is anyone NOT temping or using OV kits? Am wondering if I'm being a bit complacent just relying on the "rough window of fertility" approach, as I get the impression most of those on the bus are tracking things a bit more scientifically?

I did temping when my cycle resumed after DC2, but once I got track of the fact that I was having a pretty regular 27/28 day cycle with OV happening pretty much around the middle of that cycle, I stopped.

Changed my stats, need to keep these things updated

Hi everyone

I've had a strange few days as my UCL is 29 but I have ended up having a 32 day cycle this month for some reason with AF arriving today! My new stats are:

TTC1 CD1 UCL 29

babylanguagelearner I read taking charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler this week, found it really useful and have started charting today.

Tallie

babylanguagelearner I'm not temping or using an OV kit. We're TTC#1 and are trying to stay as relaxed as possible. DH doesn't want this to become a military exercise so we've argeed to give it until March before trying another method.

I think both DH and I have been pretty naive as we thought we would conceive straight away.

babylanguagelearner I'm also not temping or using ov kits, tried peeing on the ov sticks a couple of months back, but think it stressed me out a wee bit.

Had ovulation test done and everything seems to be fine. Just taking each month as it comes, but as I'm now 38 and its been 11 months since we started ttc, its hard not to worry.
