Jump on if you are a TTCer hoping that this cycle is 'the one' and will result in a sprog or sprogette due in November.

Welcoming season ticket holders and new passengers.

Ding ding!

hey seven sorry AF got you...let's hope this is a more successful bus! Smile

snowgal · 03/02/2011 16:08

Please can I join the bus too?

I was determined not to join a bus and let nature takes it's course, but it turns out I'm not as chilled about the TTC process as I thought!

Hi, just jumped off the October bus, AF due on Saturday though, already done tests and suprise suprise big fat negative. So not holding out much hope tbh. Feeling very down tbh, need some cheering up. My partner is now feeling inadequate which is hurting me too, i know we haven't being trying long but it really is a kick in the stomach.

Heres my stats Innocent Redhead UCL 30 Cycle 3 (about to start)

cep · 03/02/2011 18:08

hi innocent sorry af arrived. what contraception were you on previously, the pill can take a couple of months to get out of the system. are you charting you temps or anything like that?

weimy · 03/02/2011 19:59

Hi innocent I'm on cycle 3 too :) This will be our month!

Iggly · 03/02/2011 21:00

Hi innocent sorry to hear that :( have you read the sperm meets egg plan upthread?

I just watched one born every minute and now massively broody!

Just quick post as am on phone, snowed with work so will catch up on thread properly at weekend.

I read sperm meets egg plan and I am now on it!! Although started SWI on CD7 so a day out. Are there a few of us on the bus giving it a go?? One thing I didn't get, why SWI 5 days after positive OPK after a day of rest? Didn't understand that bit!

Xx

Hi can I hope on!! Not. Sure I belong but not really sure where to go I have pcos ttc for 4 years on my 2nd round of Clomid 100mg up from 50 last month I have pcos and so needed Provera to induce AF... Here are my stats

TTC#1 ucl unknown (we'll go with the average) CD12 AF expected 20th Feb

amummyinwaiting · 04/02/2011 11:31

Hi all,
sorry your feeling so down innocent- it can get you like that cant it? I read somewhere that even if you have sex at the perfect tie whe you are ovualting and everything is right you still only have a 25% chance or concieving so I think neither of you should feel inadequate as you are doing all you can.
I was all ready to do the sperm meets egg this month but on cd9 got this awful flu- going to find it hard to be attractive to dh when I'm full of snot Grin every month soething seems to happen so that it doesn't go to plan and I'm getting rather narked now!

weimy · 04/02/2011 16:01

hi there! Raven I am going to try the sperm meets egg, Like you I started early tho.

Hi PInk x

InnocentRedhead · 04/02/2011 16:04

YEP, well AF arrived this morning, a day earlier than planned :(

Hey CEP and IGGLY - i saw you on the October bus didn't i? Hope all is well. I was on Implanon - removed 16th of November and the beginning of my first cycle was 7th December, I have being using OPKs and i am ovulating - so a quick return to fertility, so this is the beginning of the third cycle. Starting temping this cycle.

Where is this sperm meets egg plan? i might have to have a look. I'm fine though now, it's gonna get you down though, hard to see DP like that though. Hope your all well :)

So yeah full stats now

InnocentRedhead - Cycle 3, UCL 29-30, AF due5-6 March, CD1

BlueCrane · 04/02/2011 16:22

Hi innocent sorry about AF and your DP...hope all goes super well for you this month! Smile

I'm on CD8 so the SWI will start this weekend!! Told DH this morning that he better get ready for a busy couple of weeks Grin!! Have decided that this part of the cycle isn't so bad once you've got over AF coming to visit... really not looking forward to the 2ww again though...drove myself slightly insane last time, need to stay calm and collected this time Hmm!

Hi waiting, fingers crossed for a honeymoon baby. Enjoy the wedding planning and the big day!

Waves to sillybilly yes I do remember you from a few buses - really has to be our stop very soon. Interesting what the doc said about losing weight. Keep SWI'ing I say.

Lalaboo added you to the list, and how [jealous] am I that you are only 20 with young eggs to match, hopefully you won't be TTC for long.

Hi also to new passengers sevendwarves, snowgal, innocent and pinkapples.

Innocent here is Sperm Meets Eggs Plan (henceforth "The Plan"!) It is a bit military operation like, but I will try anything. Actually quite enjoying the every 2 days thing rather than every day, I am less knackered!

The Plan

"Try" every other night starting Day 8

Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks

Begin ovulation testing on Day 10

When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row

Skip one night, then do one last "try"

Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun

If your ovulation test never goes positive, continue "trying" every other night until Day 35, then do a pregnancy test if your period has not begun.

BlueCrane · 04/02/2011 17:18

oooh raven I'd misread 'the plan' and thought it was CD10 for the start...oops...better see how DH is feeling today when i get home Blush as I'm CD8 today! Trying to avoid the OPK's for the moment but am sure I will graduate onto them next month if we're still TTCing and not PG this time round! Good luck for all those entering the SWI phase of the cycle!!

sevendwarves · 04/02/2011 18:04

I've tried sticking to the plan for the last 2 cycles but it's a bit too military, DH is decorating our new house as well as working 45 hours a week, I feel like I hardly ever see him lately, I just have to pounce whenever I get the chance! Blush

I'm not too optimistic about this cycle, I should ovulate on the 17th, we plan to move on the 16th so it may be a bit hectic, although I guess it only takes one! At least I can move heavy boxes without worrying though, so one good thing about being unsuccessful last month.

xstitch · 04/02/2011 22:07

AF just kicked me off the October bus.

TTC #2 cycle 4 CD 1 UCL 31 (I think)

I have a fear I am not ovulating as I did have a blood test saying FSH was slightly high but it was only 0.1 above average and they had taken it on the wrong cycle day and GP said that meant it was actually normal and to try for a bit first.

carriedababi · 04/02/2011 22:44

oh i think i need a ticket for this bus

lol

sevendwarves · 04/02/2011 23:16

Hi again xstitch, looks like the luck ran out on the October bus, hope we do better on this one!

Hello also to carriedababi

I realised my stats say cycle 2 but I'm actually on cycle 3, what an idiot! Blush

carriedababi · 04/02/2011 23:50

I'm on day 9 I think, bit unsure of cycle length varies FTC number 2 dd is 3.6

carriedababi · 04/02/2011 23:51

What is swi

sevendwarves · 04/02/2011 23:54

Shagging with intent

carriedababi · 04/02/2011 23:57
