Jump on the November bus! Thread for those that (if we crack it!) will have a Nov '11 due date.

[ravenlocks]

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!

CD 9 here so no news :(

Hi to all the newbies!

I am a bit out of kilter with the plan but am swi every other night, still glugging grapefruit juice, peeing on opks, temping and taking epo along with preconception supplements. Roll on ov and the pineapple juice!!!!

what a warm welcome

so what the deal with grapefruit juice? is that supposed to help?

or pineapple juice

i think i'm on day 10, so i'm going to do an ov test in a min

Hello all...no SWI last night but we did manage it this morning and I have warned DH it's going to be a busy week...which could be interesting seeing as he works shifts and has a ton of studying to do before a course next weekend !

Hey xstitch sorry to see you again IYSWIM hope this bus is more successful for you!

Welcome to carriedababi you'll soon get up to speed with all the acronyms

Thank you for adding me to the list Raven, I completely forgot (bus newbie sorry!) Only problem with being younger is that all I get at the minute from friends/family/colleagues is "Well as long as you aren't having children any time soon!" And i'm rubbish at lying so just sort of mumble

lala, its funny when peopel say stuff like taht and your trying not to pull a face or give anything away

my family thinkwe are stopping at one and the other day, my mum was talking about clearing away the baby things in her house saying we won't be needing these anymore will we to my newphew lol

i thought thats what youthink pal!

although the old bat could have been saying it to see if i react, luckily i was reading the paper at the time so carried on and didnt blink!

have most people on here tild people in rl they are ttc?

ive only told 1 friend

hey carrie I have only told a friend, no family they would all have too much to say and I'm not ready for that.

Apparently grapefruit juice before ov and pineapple after ov.... we shall see lol

weimy, very wise, also my reasons for not telling family is i would feel under pressure with the any news yet comments

oh i'd better try some juice, can it concentrate in cartoon or does it need to be fresh?

totally agree with the pressure thing, plus there is a general family agreement that I would be useless.

It is the not from concentrate in a carton for both juices. Grapefruit is yuck

mmm...might have to go shopping for some pineapple juice as I think Ov must be soon...might skip the grapefruit though as it's SO sharp! Would actual grapefruits do the trick in lieu of juice??...I can put sugar on those !!

Re. telling people we've told two close couples that we're TTCing but no-one else, no family. Also agreed that when/if we do get PG we'll wait until 12 week scan before telling family/everyone else so that we feel a bit safer about the whole thing.

weimy, oh no you have to deal with those sort of comment too what is it with some people ah, not happy unless they are putting someone else down
they probably do it to make themslves feel better
sad gits

anyway, oh so its the freshly squuzed type, right i'll get some tomoorow tell me exactley what to do, i'm not day 10 now and not ov yet, last month i ovulated on day 18.

blue crane do you feel a bit guilty not telling your parents?

i do feel a bit bad, but ive learnt to keep them [well my mum]at arms length around sensitive subjects

if i do get pg, i think they will be very shocked

Hi everyone including the October bus passengers!
We've not really been following the SME plan. Oh well. Managed a bit of SWI yesterday. No sign of EWCM though.

Haha ridiculous number of acronyms there . Am I the only one who likes grapefruit juice?!

And why would grapefruit juice be beneificial? If a little minging!

and yes lots of acronyms toooooo many

me and DP arent speaking because of all the stress of everything at the moment so even though im only CD2 i dont think anything with meaning will happen this month. And i will be gettin tested for hypothyroidism on monday :( so TTC may be put on the backfoot tbh.

sorry if my grammar/spelling is appauling, i am just so tired and i am struggling to think to breathe let alone get all this down. Sorry for the unload xx

Hope all is well

Hi carried I think our parents are sort of expecting something but DH has quite a big family and it'll all just get rather out of hand if we tell even one of them. I think my Mum will probably guess unless I'm super careful although she lives overseas so it's a little easier...I know when my brother and SIL told us all at what truned out to be 6 weeks [doc got dates wrong] last year I was sooo nervous for them until they had the scan I almost wished I hadn't known until 12weeks IYSWIM?! DH is more cautious than I am though as he's just scared of an MC...although if that did happen we might tell parents then...I'm not making much sense...I think there's good arguments for telling and not telling!

Innocent :( sorry to hear that. Can you and DH treat yourself to a meal out or something to mend the bridges?

Sorry innocent, I hope you and your DP have made up, take it easy today if you can.

I've only told one friend we're TTC. I know my parents would be pleased but my mum keeps blatatly hinting that she wants more grandchildren. It took us 2 years to conceive DS, I think the pressure would be too much if she knew we're trying!

Sorry to hear that Innocent. Even if you do have hypothyroidism it is relatively easily managed. Hope you make up with your DP soon.

Can I jump aboard, was kicked off the october bus a few days ago so current cd4, have just looked at when i should be fertile this month and hooray my dh is off work at that time so lots of swi around that time me thinks lol . Planning to test around 3rd March and have decided will be using CBD hpt as got BFP on these last time, so fx for this month ladies lets have lots of fun swi and then lots of BFP at the end :)

Unfortunately almost everyone close to me in my life knows were are TTC! Doh!!! I thought it would happen quicly (I am an idiot) but been nearly a year and I do feel I have kind of withdrawn from everyone as do feel the pressure of everyone glancing at my stomach every time they see me after a while. People have stopped asking me 'how it is going' too now.

Hi goingmad welcome aboard!

I think I'm on day 11 today

Everyone will know we are too now. Having just had a mc, everyone who knows about that knows we're going to keep trying. No pressure then

Still trotting alongside the bus. ERPC was nearly 2 weeks ago now and nothing much is happening so I don't know when to start SWI.

Hi Everyone,
Still feeling rough with this cold but manage to tempt dh to a little swi last night- figured with lights down low my nose wasn't quite as bright red!
Hi to all the new people and sorry innocent that you are having problems at the mo- I hope you have both made up now.
dh swore me to secrecy about ttc then told my parents and two sets of our friends but didn't really bother me as we have been together for ten years now and I think everyone assumes we have been trying for nearly as long!
Gwendoline that must be very difficult for you.

amum

"Still feeling rough with this cold but manage to tempt dh to a little swi last night- figured with lights down low my nose wasn't quite as bright red! "

Glad to hear it, I was going to tell you to channel Monica from that Friends where is she sick and tries to tempt Chandler into bed by sexily rubbing Vicks vaporub on her chest :o

Hello! We have had Internet problems, so no posting. Am CD4 and trying not to count down days to ov (usually day 15 for me).

We haven't told anyone that we're TTC, but most people know that we want a big family. lala I was 21 when we had DD1, FIL told us that we were 'ruining our lives' but actually it really made us. I love being a younger Mum.
