Darcies mumandbump2 love the new name. Give me hope for my first cycle too! I really want to do it first cycle as I become so one sighted about ttc so I am hoping to save my sanity!

I have just always gone by af dates. Since having ds thought my cycle has been a bit odd so am goign to try opk's this time too.

Liliana1 · 16/04/2011 14:04

Me too blue. Think I have another couple of days - got EWCM today so desperate to get DH home from work Grin - or does that mean its too late? :(

blueeyedmonster Getting confused and know I become slightly very obsessed with things like charting so prob better to stay unstressed as long as possible!

My DH works away and I only see him weekends but as I'm on school holidays atm I'm staying with him and making the most of it. Bit desperate though as next month I think I will be ov during the week days so no hope there

Hi,
I fell off the last bus! I was trying not to obsess so didn't sign on much but it'd be nice to try this bus too.
I'm worried about being 35 and with this being the 3rd cycle and really starting to panic that something is wrong and we've left it too late. Arghh!!!
I know we're dtd on roughly the right dates (thanks to CBFM, internet cheapies, smiley one etc etc) but it's just a proper stress!!!!!!
Good luck to all you other lovely ladies x

DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 14:26

Thanks Liliana & Blue :)

Liliana if you have an iPhone or iPod touch you can download an app called Iperiod and it can track your cycle, tell you when AF is due and best days for swi - worked for me Grin plus DP super sperm lol

DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 14:27

Thanks Sarah

Liliana1 · 16/04/2011 14:30

Hi Sarah I'm 31 so not much younger than you and I'm on my 5th cycle of actively trying after 8 months of casually trying - hope this helps a bit. Don't think this is unusually long - is it? [starts to panic now]!!

DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 14:42

Liliana can take anywhere between a yr and 18mths to conceive. DP & I were just very lucky on the first go

orangehead · 16/04/2011 19:05

Hi Liliana1 welcome. I started charting last month and I use the fertility friend website very easy to use.
Welcome Sarah and sorry you feel off last, bus I did too a couple of days ago Sad

Welcome ladies to the bus we are a lovely bunch :)

ok need some advice I'm due around the 29th but go on holiday on 25th worried about drinking whilst away won't be getting sloshed but will be drinking everynight, should I test on the morning before we go will 3-4 days early???

OP posts:
DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 19:57

Can you test the morning you go?

Original poster
goingmadtrying · 16/04/2011 20:00

That's what I was thinking darciesmum just worried if it's bfn do I drink or not???? Will it do any harm won't be getting drunk just a few drinks each night ??

OP posts:
CODwidow · 16/04/2011 20:18

hiya everyone well a lot has happened in a few days i was diagnosed with a kidney complaint and urine infection so hospitalised and given really strong antibiotics (which im still having to take) i was given a poas at hospital which was bfn so im assuming now that af stayed away due to illness so im going to stay on the bus as last af was 15th march but very much doubt anything will happen now due to the antibiotics im having to take, good luck everyone else though, heres to lots of bfp's!!!!

DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 20:35

A few drinks a night will be fine :)

COD hope you feel better soon

75sarah · 16/04/2011 20:44

Thanks, ladies.
I guess it can take a long time - I'm just fretting that it won't happen at all and every month I feel more and more ancient!
fx for us all

goingmadtrying · 16/04/2011 21:04

Hope you feeling better soon Cod :(

Sarah I'm also 35 and totally understand how you feel I'm on cycle 5 and beginning to think it won't happen, fx for all of us this month :)

OP posts:
blueeyedmonster · 16/04/2011 21:49

cod hope you feel better soon

Can you get some real cheapies and test every morning you are there goingmadtrying? Juts to be sure

Original poster
goingmadtrying · 16/04/2011 21:56

Good idea I have a fr which probably use on the Monday and then 2 cheapies will prob use Tuesday Wednesday and should come on Thursday if same as before :)
hopefully bfp on Monday though Grin

OP posts:
CODwidow · 16/04/2011 22:14

Thanks everyone, it has thrown me a bit as missed af so I guess i'll still ov when I was supposed to or not???

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 08:39

COD not sure about ov can you chart this month to give you an idea?

orangehead · 17/04/2011 09:18

Hope you feeling better soon cod
Sarah two of my pregnancies took a yr ttc (that was many years ago) and two I fell pregnant without even trying (was in a bad place after mc,s and couldnt face ttc again) so I think it's just pot luck each month and doesnt necc mean anything is wrong. But know how you feel, despite knowing it has taken me a while in the past I starting to panic that I am on cycle 4 on nothing happening, silly but I am. Age (33) and the various problems I have had with af and cycle the last few years is starting to worrying me. Anyway
going to book to see the docotors when kids go back to school to have a chat if any of the problems I have had could be affecting things

Liliana1 · 17/04/2011 09:27

Thanks Orange, I'll have a look at that website.

So sorry COD, hope you are feeling better soon x

Goingmadtrying I don't think a few drinks will hurt, loads of people don't know they are pregnant for ages and drink (my cousin was 4 months before she knew - on the pill and had regular normal periods!!) As long as you don't go mad I wouldn't worry and have a good time. Hope you do get a BFP on Monday though :)

75sarah · 17/04/2011 11:35

Thanks for your replies. It seems there are fair few of us in the same boat!
Maybe this month...a royal wedding baby would be fab!!

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 12:27

Orange Hope you get some good info at the drs.
