Well, as Bleats so kindly started the last one I thought it only fair to take my share of the driving Grin

Let's keep the positive vibe going ladies, we may be off the May minibus but we're definitely not defeated so bring the Wine, Brew and BiscuitBiscuitBiscuit, hold onto your seats and let's get this baby mobile started

Hello all, can I join the bus. I've brought plenty of Wine, Brew and homemade chocolate brownies Grin. Had AF visiting last week, but DH and I are now ttc. He goes away for 6 months in 7 weeks time and so I would really like to get pregnant before he goes away. Wasn't a problem last time, we decided to give it a go and within 2 weeks I was pregnant, can't help hoping I'm as lucky this time.

Anyway my stats are
thedogwalker (38 nearly 39) ttc #2 AF due 10 Oct 11

Got my my fx already for you all, sending out lots of good luck vibes to everyone Smile

AstroNess · 20/09/2011 11:36

why it doesn't feel real. I can't believe I got a little line. We're going to go and get a couple more tests in a bit and maybe test in the morning.

So excited. It's hard not to get carried away. DP just got excited and said that we could put the scan photo in a Christmas card break the news to close family that way...bless him.

BBandthedestroyer · 20/09/2011 11:36

hello I think I'm in the right place but I'm new so be kind Grin

TTC#2 Currently cd6 (i think, i've had some very freaky-deaky bleeding) Mirena came out 3 months ago and I'm breastfeeding DD1. No idea on UCL really. Helpful not. Very new to TTC, We didn't TTC DD1 she was an accident so I'm a beginner really! :)

AstroNess · 20/09/2011 11:41

I forgot to say, welcome to the newbies- harmony crystal bb and thedog. Saying that altogether sounds like some sort of band!!

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 11:49

Exciting times for you Astro, fx for the new tests.

My name may be a bit long so TDW will suffice. I've not been on a ttc thread before, makes it all seem so real, no longer jus thinking about ttc. Just worked out that I'm at my most fertile at the weekend, so just text DH and let him know that when he gets home on friday we will be dtd all weekend Grin.

BBandthedestroyer · 20/09/2011 12:00

Thanks Astro I always wanted to be in a band. GL with the new tests! What an exciting way to break the news, I'd love to do that but have a huge gob and can't resist telling people straight away. Getting ahead of myself now.

I've not either been on a TTC thread before TDW
I don't even know if I'm ovulating, was trying to track my cm last cycle but i didn't notice a change and ended up bleeding on cd21 (2nd month running now) AF-like bleeding but completely painless - before DD I used to have horrific AF's. (I didn't have an AF till the mirena came out). COuld the bf be affecting things or is it normal to take a while to 'get back into the swing of things' after 11 months of Mirena?

Please could I steal a brownie? In return I'll bake muffins?

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 12:10

BB I didn't have AF at all whilst BF, only stopped BF 4 months ago and the AF came back immediatley. So yes it could be affecting your cycle, but you can defo stil get pg whilst bf so fx for you.

My DS is 13 months and I thought now is a nice time to start ttc for another, don't want too big a gap, plus I'm the big 40 next year, want another DC before then.

GoldenDaffodil · 20/09/2011 12:20

Hello All

Having a sneaky MN check on my lunch break. AstroNess - I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that you get more BFB's. The pic you posted definitely looks positive to me. So exciting!

Hello BB and TDW. Welcome to the ttc threads. MN is a great source of support, especilayy during the 2ww. TDW - Good luck for your action packed weekend Wink and BB - I think it's very normal for your cycles to take several months to settle after Mirena. I recommend a clear blue fertility monitor for trcaking ovulation. Expensive but worth the money.

I'm 6dpo and not having any symptoms except increased cm. I'm going out of my mind wondering though...

AngelFairy · 20/09/2011 12:30

Astro... that so a cross! Whoop! Whoop!
POA(thousand)S - joke!
How very exciting... Grin
logged on from phone when I saw your update, so sorry if the post appears strange.

Hello newbie threaders... welcome to the lucky bus x

AstroNess · 20/09/2011 13:40

Oh my gosh. I just got back from the shop with 2x Clear Blue Digitals.

I did one.

I got the BFP I was after. It says 'Pregnant 1-2 weeks'.

So happy. I really hope it's a sticky bean.

xx

BBandthedestroyer · 20/09/2011 13:48

Grin Astro Grin

I'm actually so excited for you!

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 14:01

Astro that's brilliant news, I am so HAPPY for you Grin. Now the fun begins. This is your first, isn't it? Have you told your OH about the confirmation yet?

AstroNess · 20/09/2011 14:21

Thanks girls. I'm really pleased.

TDW this is my first. OH knows. Although, I showed him the CBD and he looked at it blankly and said 'what does that mean?'. Jesus, even spelling it out didn't quite sink in for him.

I'm supposed to be working from home today. I've so much to do but just can't concentrate. Arghhhh

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 14:31

Astro sod work, wallow in the bliss of it all, it's a lovely time, enjoy every minute Smile

GoldenDaffodil · 20/09/2011 14:43

AstroNess - that's absolutely wonderful news! My heartfelt congratualtions, I hope the agony of ttc is soon to be behind you : )

BBandthedestroyer · 20/09/2011 14:55

Haha Men! Oooh sod the work (if you can) and enjoy the feeling!

You guys are right this is a lucky bus! I get on and within a few hours we have a BFP!

Aah I have a warm feeling :)

AngelFairy · 20/09/2011 15:37

OMG....!!!! Astro
I'm dancing in my chair for you!
Stick little bean stick! x

Here's to our 1st Graduate this month Wine

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 15:48

Ah hmm, Brew for Astro, if little bean still needs to stick but Wine for us still playing the waiting game. Don't worry Astro we'll have plenty for you Grin

thedogwalker · 20/09/2011 15:49

Reading my message back now, it seems I may come across as being bossy, that was not the way it was intended, hope no offence casued Smile

hickorydick · 20/09/2011 17:57

CONGRATULATIONS ASTRO :o

Welcome to Harmony, Crystal, BB and TDW :)

I have my fingers crossed for more BFPs on this bus this month. Good luck everyone.

I think I'm going to be waiting around for the next bus now, since BFN yesterday the 'symptoms' I was experiencing have mostly disappeared which leads me to conclude that they were in my head really. Still! Onwards and upwards and everything will be ok in the end and if it's not ok - it's not the end (this little mantra has been keeping me going today!)

Take care all of you

Mersea · 20/09/2011 18:11

Well done Astro I am so pleased for you. It is great to have some good news and excitement on the bus! fx for the rest of us either for this month or for those hit by af, next month. x

Whysoserious · 20/09/2011 19:46

Wow so exciting! The first BFP of the thread. Has it sunk in yet AstroNess??

I got my CBFM today and have been trying to make head and tail of the instructions. Think ive just about managed to work it out but wow it's confusing.

TMI alert:

Am quite confused at the mo because AF arrived 3 days ago (boo hiss) but it's not like normal. It's very dark brown in colour - almost black and quite light. Not light enough to be considered spotting though I woudnt say.

My last AF was also weird in that I had two very light days, it stopped for two days and then 3 heavy days. I've been googling what all this could be and endometriosis comes up which has worried me. I know brown blood is supposed to be old blood. Also it hurt a lot during SWI this month although I put that down to doing it so much as it was only the last time we did it that it hurt and we haven't done it since.

Any ideas what this could be? It's weird, it seems by body has decided to go into meltdown just as I TTC.

HorseyGirl1 · 20/09/2011 20:52

Yay for Astroness! Well done you! OUr first BFP for this month and hopefully not our last! Remember the old lottery ad? - It could be you! FX everyone xx

AstroNess · 20/09/2011 20:58

Thanks everyone. I don't think it's sunk in yet. I'm so excited. I don't want to come back down to earth and go to work tomorrow.

I'll be staying on the bus and seeing who'll be joining me at the other side Smile.
