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!

Hi, am I too late for the November bus?

DH and I have had a full and frank discussion and decided that now is as good a time as any to try for #2.
We have a 15month DS already.

This is my first time on a bus.
CD11, UCL 29/30 (or longer), AF due 26/2

Hi flutey

Gwendoline I'm really sorry to hear about your mc.

Carrie Hehe yeah I think I might have given it away on Friday though as all I could manage was an awkward laugh, so glad I was in the kitchen so no-one could see my face!

Lucy It's awkward isn't it, it's like everyone assumes that if you are younger a child would be a disaster. Not looking forward to telling MIL, we don't get on anyway so could be interesting! I keep saying I won't tell her. I know we are going to get lots of comments from people as well, especially parent's friends :(

ah lalabaloo dont get me started on flaming parents in law! We were constantly being harassed by fil that should have concieved by now (we weren't even ttc) they even asked if we'd gone to dr's for fertility advice! They dont speak to us now but I know as soon as I am and we announce it they will try and worm there way in.
It's none of their or their friends business, your not twelve, you and your dp do what you want and dont give them another thought (god I've gone on to much and probably over stepped the mark -sorry)
spidookly come back! I was pretty much like Monica-think my eau de olbas oil won it for me!

Evening Ladies, I've come over from the October bus to join you if that's ok?
In short we're on to month 11 of ttc number 2, as DS took a year and a half to conceive we might be in for the long haul!
On CD5 now. Does anyone else have quite variable cycles? Just looking for some reassurance I'll be ok to conceive. They're more irregular recently than they used to be.

Hi again ellan. It's hard when it takes a long time isn't it? It's so depressing when other people announce their pregnancies, then have their babies and you're still TTC! We took 2 years to conceive DS, and my cycles have always been irregular. I've only had 2 cycles post-pill which were 36 and 33 days. When we were ttc DS my longest cycle was 45 days!

I hope you get your BFP very soon!

Hehe Amummyinwaiting they sound as nutty as my MIL! Luckily my mum knows we are TTC and is pleased but not sure what my dad will do, faint possibly? I think he will be pleased, just quite shocked that his baby will (hopefully) be having a baby! And I know exactly what you mean about people trying to worm their way in, this is what MIL is like. I'm not good enough for her son unless I have something she happens to want

Hello everyone. I just fell off the October bus with AF's most unwelcome arrival this morning, so I am now on a mission for the November bus to take me all the way.

Trying for my second DC (1st DD 2009) and have had 1 MMC @12wks shortly before conceiveing with DD.

This is only the 2nd month of trying this time, which I know is nothing, but I am currently trying to shake of the disapointment of not conceiving 1st time - I knew it was unlikely but there is something special about that 1st month where you have such high hopes that you will break all the odds.

Oh well, maybe I will do some research on how to increase my odds for next time!

Good luck to all!

lalabaloo my mom and dad are great about it too- is reasssuring isn't it as you start to think they are right and you aren't iyswim.
My dh's mom and dad are divorced so it's his Dad and stepmom who are horrible and (used to be) controlling. Its so weird though as his mom and stepdad are so laid back I think sometimes they forget who I am! Maybe thats why they divorced
I'm sure your dad will be fine once he gets used to it- just will be a bit of a shock that your not his little girl anymore.
ellen my cycles are only now settling down to normal again even though I came off injections nearly three years ago, it really is horrible isn't it? Fingers crossed for you.

[waves at everyone who has joined the bus since I last posted]

hello all! I've been ill with a full on virus of doom for the last six days, and OH has been away for most of that time. Fortunately he was around for what MN conception calculator thinks was my fertile window. Even though I was starting to get ill, we indulged in a little SWI. Poor OH, SWI was not not sexy at all! I'm finally starting to feel a bit better but not back at work yet.

So, AF is due 16 Feb and I swore I wouldn't test until at least then. And held strong even when I was being sick over the weekend (nothing to do with the fever and high temp, oh no, because we're TTC it must be a freakishly early symptom!). My resolve is now starting to weaken (probably because I don't have work to distract me!) and I'm considering maybe testing on valentine's day. at how painfully pathetic that is. What do you ladies think?

For a bit of background, last AF started Jan 21st, last cycle was 25 days, the one before that was 21 days, and every other period I've ever had in my life was 27-28 days.

Actually Feb 14th is looking v v early indeed! It's just, y'know, I've never tested before!

Is there any room for one more, ladies? Not sure if I'm contemplating getting on the right bus or not? Although I come bearing , chocolate and icecream?

On month number 17 of TTC, only been on one bus before - July I think, but thought it was tempting fate too much to get on another one.

Had HSG on Friday and got the all clear, hoping the jetwash will mean this month is going to be the one!

As I am now feeling a little braver, here are my stats:

KnackeredCow TTC#1 Cycle 17 UCL 28-30 AF due 22 Feb

helloooo KC, welcome to le bus! Sounds like it has been a long journey for you so far, here's hoping that this is the month for you.

enjoys KC's ice-cream

Hi kc.

Ghost I suppose you don't have anything to lose by testing early on valentines day, just bear in mind though that if you get a BFN it doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant.

One of my friends had a baby girl last night, I'm so jealous pleased for her!

seven, thanks, I guess that's why I think it's a bit bonkers to start with early testing! Damn MN, I didn't even know it was possible to test early before I joined! (Though at least now I know the stats on early testing, which aren't good!)

[goes looking for her self-control]

ghost if you tested on Valentines day and you were not pregnant woould it make you feel miserable for that day?Thats how I have started looking at it and it gives me a tiny bit more self control (for a day at the most ha ha!)
Hi kc welcome on board! (whispered to not tempt fate for you)
I'm still feeling so snotty but am dtermined to swi tonight although I think the hacking cough I have developed is not going to be the sexiest thing!

amummyin - well, I think this time around I'd just think silly me, will have to wait a few more days. Though admittedly if any IB ('imaginary baby' - not sure if I saw that on this thread or another but I like it) has hung on through this amount of fever and sickness I will be pretty amazed. That's a v useful way of looking at it though!

You have to be v careful with the hacking cough though - it tends to cause, ahem, muscle tension all over the body so it can be a bit of a for your partner. If you see what I mean . I had bad bronchitis for about 18 months before I was diagnosed with asthma and sometimes I think DH misses the mid-coital coughing fits

Haha IB, I like that! :o

I'm going to jump on this thread... I'm TTC#1, CD 20, AF due around 14th Feb...

And forgot to say I am crazy symptom spotting... the latest being wierd cravings! (anchovy pizza anyone? )

hey qt, welcome to the thread!

Well..SWI proving difficult here due to DH working unsociable shifts and generally being shattered as a result I have decided that if we can manage it sat/san/tues/thurs/sat/sun then we'll be doing well and hopefully that will be frequently enough for those swimmers to get to the right place on time

Hoping to steel my resolve to NOT early test this month after my nightmare debut 2ww last month! Am really not looking forward to that again this month! pippy I so know what you mean about the 'something special and high hopes' of the first month TTCing...that was me last month!

Hello Ladies, how are we all tonight? DH and myself are off to the hosp tomorrow to hand in his sample, don't actually know what to expect, don't even know if we get to speak to anyone tomorrow or its just a case of handing in the wee pot

Didn't plan it very well, we have had to refrain from SWI for 3 days before DH does his sample and its landed bang in the middle of my supposed ov time!

Ah well, we can only wait and see!

Sorry doflies what a nuisance!

Hi tiger!

Well I'm only on CD6 so no news here, just busy packing ready to move next week, I'm so excited, DH and I will have our bedroom to ourselves again, much better for TTC! :o

Hello, just fell off the oct bus, so... Jumping on this one...
