I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Hello can i please join you all?

Poppyjen · 20/04/2011 20:22

Hi MorningCoffee of course, welcome Smile

What are your stats? Have a look at the list above to see the format - or if you like you can just explain your situation in non-MN speak and one of us will pop it on for you Grin

Goodness, its a busy bus now!

whitegold · 20/04/2011 20:55

shobbs so sorry Sad

I'm only on CD2 and already can't wait for af to hurry up and go away so we can get cracking this month.

Welcome morningcoffee!

poppy glad you reminded me about the four day weekend coming up Smile had such a crap week at work so far and can't wait to have a little break - just hope the weather stays like this!

Carlitawantsababy · 21/04/2011 07:49

Welcome morningcoffee
Sorry to hear that weimy
Yes whitegold of course it will stay nice! Must stay positive! For me, this is my last day at work for a month!8 days to go until wedding!

MorningCoffee · 21/04/2011 12:36

Afternoon everyone, what a glorious day it is today.

Bit of a complicated situation for me! I started back on the pill last month as my periods were very heavy and doc suggested it would help, since then we have decided to have another baby. So i carried on with the pill but had missed a few through the pack, we did the deed on day 24 so dont think anything has happened, i normally have a 28 days cycle.

So here i am,me 29, dp 32, we have one ds who is 8 and a dd who is 5, have had 1 mc between having my 2 children and 1 termination due to complications ( this was 8 months ago) and is very raw as not something i ever wanted to go through Sad

Don't know when my af is due as everything is now complicated due to the pill and things, i did stop the pill to have my 7 day break and that was 9 days ago but still no af so just a waiting game at the moment i think, unless anyone else can help.

Hope your all having a lovely day Smile

Poppyjen · 21/04/2011 15:42

Hi all!

Morning sorry to ask obvious but have you done a test just to make sure that you aren't waiting for an AF that won't arrive Wink ?

Glacier · 21/04/2011 15:51

Hello all! I'm a newbie (but long time lurker) - was going to start my own thread but then I saw this! DH and I are also TTC and want a 2012 baby - can I join you all?

Also any tips for conceiving, apart from the obvious!

Poppyjen · 21/04/2011 15:56

Hi Glacier come on in Smile

Add yourself to the stats!

MorningCoffee · 21/04/2011 15:58

Thank you poppyjen for adding my stats.
No have not done a test as thought it would be to early as i stopped my pill on day 21 done the deed on day 24 and am now on day 29 so i was thinking far to early, i have probably messed my body up by missing pills although it is strange that i have had no bleed since stopping my pill on day 21, so confused.

Glacier · 21/04/2011 16:01

Thanks Poppyjen - have only been TTC for 5 days, no luck yet! Not sure that's worthy of stats yet!

But would someone mind explaining the stat terminology so I can join in later? Thanks!

Poppyjen · 21/04/2011 16:02

Sorry yes should have worked that out Confused I know what you mean about feeling like body is messed up after pill - my last cycle (1st post pill) lasted 56 days, although I did have a withdrawal bleed. Hopefully your body is just taking a while to realise it has got to produce its own hormones now Smile

MorningCoffee · 21/04/2011 16:03

Yes i think so to so am just going to wait and then start from after my next bleed (if it arrives Wink

Welcome Glacier Smile

Poppyjen · 21/04/2011 16:05

Sorry Glacier crossed post...

I'll explain using mine:

Poppyjen (29) TTC#2 Cycle 2 UCL ? AF due 2nd May (ish)

Poppyjen age 29, trying to conceive second child, second cycle trying, don't know usual cycle length (UCL), period due around 2nd May

Hope that helps!

Glacier · 21/04/2011 16:14

Thank you! In that case,

Glacier (36), TTC 1 Cycle 1 UCL? AF due 11th May (ish)

trope · 23/04/2011 13:30

Back from my trip to my sister and what a lot to catch up on!

"HI" to all the newbies! :o

weimy & Obe so sorry that AF got you both! shobbs so sorry - hope you are as OK as you can be.

weimy - sad to see you off the list, but totally understand needing a break - really hope to see you back here again soon!

As for me, I am CD26, according to FF I OV'd on CD14 and my past 3 cycles have been 26, 25 and 23 days. So when AF is due is anyones guess! I was feeling pretty excited and positive, but today my temp dropped and I have the sort of cramps I usually get mid AF, so I suspect that AF is on her sweet way. If not though I shall POAS tomorrow (for the first time ever, which is in itself pretty exciting) and hopefully get good news! (Not sure I will cope well with negative & no AF though - might actually go properly potty with that much waiting and uncertainty! Think I used up all my pateince getting to this point!!)

As for today, I am off to the beach with DP, where I shall read the paper, bask in the sunshine, eat a picnic lunch and treat myself to ice creams from the awesome maroccos. I shall bring some back for you all to share! :)

I hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday weekend, getting lots of SWI (or JS!) and fun times with your DPs / families!

Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 13:51

Hiya,
I'm TTC#1. Started trying in December. Had very early MC end of Jan. Gave it 6 weeks so body felt back to normal. I seem to have 31 day cycle (since coming off pill in November)
What does CD mean? I'm new to this!
The 2WW is torturous and I am a sucker for the mega early HPT! Having to restrain myself from testing daily at mo. Wednesday is day of reckoning!

Liliana1 · 23/04/2011 14:06

Hi Byrnsie welcome to the bus! I started seriously trying in Dec too (off the pill for a year with the have fun and hope technique but no luck so working at it now!) Hate the 2ww soooo much - I'm about 7 or 8 days dpo (days after ovulation) luckily my tests are at home and I'm away till Tuesday so enforced restraint is in place, however once Tuesday hits I'm going to be wanting to POAS daily!!!! Thank god for internet cheapies or I'd be broke :)

CD is cycle day ie the 1st day of your period / cycle us CD1. So I'm on CD21 today.

Fx for you trope, very impresseed with your restraint there's no way I could hang on that long. Have a lovely day it sounds perfect xx

Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 14:19

Hi Liliana,

Good to hear from you and have some people to obssess with who are in the same place! I can guess that POAS is to do with testing, but what does it actually stand for?
Wish I had some distractions - I'm at home for the Easter hols as I work in education. Plus, I think people have started noticing that I'm not really drinking!

Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 15:22

I have found the acronyms help on this site so I now know what POAS means - yay!

Liliana1 · 23/04/2011 15:47

The acronyms were v helpful when I started on here but still had to ask for some so don't worry about asking is you're not sure

I'm a primary teacher so have found these 2 weeks hard too, even worse my DH (darling husband) works away so am spending the hols with him which is nice (and helpful when I ov'ed!) but he is still working and I don't have any friends here so been a lonely couple of weeks with plenty of time to obsess, find out all things mn and hours on google finding out everything there is to know about conception!

Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 19:34

Hi Lilian,
Googling certainly helps while the days away between ov and tests!!

eurochick · 23/04/2011 19:56

weimy I hope you will be back with us soon.

I have a positive on my opk so am updating my dates (although as my acupuncturist is trying to lengthen my luteal phase, I am not sure how accurate it will be).
