Cavemum TTC#1 - Currently undergoing fertility tests.

Awww congratulations MH :) :) :)

Wooooooop whoooppppp! Congratulations MH. Oh I'm feeling the good vibes off this thread :D

Another one??!! Congrats MH

Cone on, who's testing next?!

[beams proudly at lucky thread]

Ahhhh it's so tempting to bolt to Tesco and grab some baby sticks Cave! I'm not expecting AF until the 30th so I've got a while I think. 7 DPO is way too early, yes?

Congratulations Meconium! :D

Hoping some of the luckiness of the thread rubs off on me. Resisting the temptation to buy baby sticks too J4D3 - I have some coming with my shopping on Sept 2nd, and have given myself a stern telling to to not buy any until then!

I'm out ladies. I'll have to hop on the next bus...AF got me last night at about 9pm - WITCH! :(

But let's keep the BFPs coming :)

Sorry to hear that desperate you need a

Congrats to Meconium really nice to see people getting the BFP :)

only 10 sleeps till I can test but TBH I think I will get a BFN but at least I will be able to see when my 1st AF is after coming off the pill comes and that I can start to chart and plan more effectively.....

Congratulatrions to Snowy & meconium! Hope this thread stays lucky :)

I have to share this.
My mother has just told me that my cousin is going to be a grandmother at 36. I'm 36 and trying for number 1!!!!

Grandmother at 36?! [faints]

Saying that, a girl at my school had a baby at 14. Her child will be 16 now. I can't imagine having a 16yo in tow at the moment [faints again]

Better dear? :)

I've chartered a June bus for those who strike out like me this month, there is already chocolate, tequila and millionnaire shortbread on board :)

Not only will this make my cousin a grandmother at 36, but her mum a great grandmother at 52 and her grand mother a great great grandmother at 75!

I honestly can't imagine having a grown up daughter.

hey guys
i m 24 yrs old TTC #1 other than that no idea since had no period for the past 2 mnths :( (btw wats UCL)

UCL is usual cycle length. Easy to know if you are very regular but not if your cycle length changes dramatically from month to month!

Ok, I?m on a real computer (as opposed to my phone!) so I?ve tinkered with the stats list.

I?m going to be bossy now and ask you all to make sure you put your current cycle day down in your stats so we know who is due to test when. I?ve also put the list into a rough order according to everyone?s current cycle day, so if you do add yourself please put yourself in the right spot. Finally, and then I?ll shut up , if you are updating the stats with your own figures, it is only polite to roll everyone on a Cycle Day (if needed) at the same time.

Lecture over

I?ve rolled those of you that posted yesterday on a day, where possible. Desperate I?ve put you on CD1 for now as you said AF got you last night but feel free to make it CD2 if you would rather.
Those of you without CDs at the moment I?ve popped to the bottom of the list, so feel free to add yourselves back in at the correct point!

For the newbies here are the acronyms, I?ll do an ?idiot?s guide? version though I?m sure you will know most of them already:

TTC ? trying to conceive
CD ? current day of your cycle
UCL ? usual cycle length (only the lucky ladies with regular cycles will know this)
C ? Cycle (some people like to include the number of cycles they have been trying for, others don?t, it?s entirely up to you)
AF ? your period, also sometimes known as ERTD (Evil Red Tide of Doom)

Hahaha...are you a teacher Cave?! :-P

That all sounds very confusing to me. Happy with CD1 as you are supposed to count the first full day of bleeding as the first day of the ERTD (am liking that one!). Wish the witch hadn't turned up, but hey ho, not much I can do about it.

Just told DP that the bottom hath dropped out of my world! I think it may have been TMI for him LMAO! He's a squeamish wee soul sometimes. Missing him like bloody crazy and he's not back until Saturday afternoon - wail! :( I've told him I expect a huge great fuck-off cuddle when I see him! :) Apologies for my language for those of a sensitive disposition, I'm completely uncouth!

Sorry...grossly and disgustingly in love, I even make myself feel sick LOL!

Hello everyone, just dropping in as I've not shown my face for AGES. It's now a whole year since we started SWI after my cycles restarted, having come off the pill in January 2010. Still nothing doing, and we've now been to the doctor. It's cycle day one of cycle thirteen today (I think, it may be cycle fourteen by now), and I'm off to have the first of what appears to be several blood tests on Thursday morning. DH will be wanking in a cup and some point fairly shortly too, so with any luck by October we'll know some more about whether either of us has something wrong.

It looks like the list has been updated and I've been culled (fair enough), but I promise to drop in like this every now and again to let you know how I'm doing. Quite frankly, I'm losing faith in ever getting pregnant - should it really take this long when both partners are under thirty?!

Still hugs all round - well done to those of you with BFPs and commiserations to those of you who are, like me, still waiting. I hope you're all doing well :)

ooh I like the new list cavemum new stats for me added :)

Evil how nice to "see" you again, though sorry the circumstance aren't better.

We didn't drop you from the list, honest! People just seemed to stop updating it and after so long it just seemed a better idea to start the list all over again from scratch. Do jump in if you want to.

desperate, no I'm not a teacher, just bossy by nature
