All aboard for the June 2012 minibus transfer service for May minibus dropouts!

[MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes]

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

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

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes (37) ttc#2 AF due 28th Sept (ish)

Astro this is fab!
I'm riding your wave of excitement - cheeky me!
Can you tell your cycle stats, i.e. Cycle length, cd with bfn and of course cd with fab bfp?
Did you have any symptoms?

I tested again this evening, with persuasion from dh, but another bfn

Wow Astro Massive Congratulations!! So so pleased for you, the first time is so special too

Why maybe see how you go and then see your doctor if things are still worrying you. It's likely be nothing as everyone is different and sometimes these things just can't be explained but it might be worth getting it checked. You could ask to have a scan which would show up any problems, if any and the sooner things are checked and you are given the ok the sooner you can relax and get back to swi!! All the best x

Cant believe Im writing this but would like to reserve a seat please!

Just started ttc'ing and im not niave enough to think we will achieve first time but would like to join in and share the positive thoughts.
Im really new to this and need an interpreter for all the abbreviations!

31 AF due 4th Oct i think

Morning ladies and welcome making

There's a list of acronyms somewhere that should clear things up for you..

Here's a few
Dh - dear husband
Dp - dear partner
EWCM - egg white cervical mucus
SWI - Sh*gging with intent (I think!)
Fx - fingers crossed
AF - Aunty flo
POAS - Pee on a stick

Any more you're unsure of? Hope I got those ones right!

How is everyone this morning?

Astro

Congratulations Astro! Can you give any tips? Did you do anything differently? :) I'm in the 2ww now, only just started it! Am going to try not to test early this month!

Mornin'

All good here thanks, post night shift but need to find some energy to get on with the SWI tonight I reckon. So lots of for me. Still no idea if or when I'm ever going to ovulate (i looked at the clearblue fertility monitor but too many pennies for us at the moment) so may as well get practicing and ya never know!

Everyone else well this morning? Anyone POASing today? x

Hello Making and Good Morning to everyone else. I'm still smiling for Astro.

BB if you can't afford a monitor you could look for OV signs in other ways such as monitoring CM and temperature charting. Lots of SWI is certianly going to increase your chances though :o How you manage it with shift work is beyond me. DH and I both have demanding jobs and I have to practically force him sometimes!

Good luck to everyone POAS today. I'm now 7 dpo and still not experiencing any symptoms except increaded CM. Yet another one of my work colleagues has announced she's pg this morning which has made me feel quite down about things. Never in my adult life have so many people I know been pg at the same time! I know I've got to remain positive though as lack of symptoms at 7 dpo doesn't necessarily mean a bfn next week.

Golden I was trying to track my cm last cycle, but never noticed a change, then started with the random bleeding on cd 21, hence why I'm not sure if I'm ov at all but then I'm very new to this so I might just be being a numpty!

Oh and when I was pg with DD I didn't notice any symptoms at all till I was about 6 weeks pregnant. But then I wasn't looking for them.

Everyone I work with keeps asking me when number 2 is coming along. I don't know what to say really, usually just say something vague but then they think I'm pg but not telling them and I just get winks

Hi girls,

Because a couple of you have asked what we did differently/any tips etc. Here's a bit of info.

My chart is here:
Ovulation Chart

In terms of what we did differently, I think that as this was our third month, I was much more tuned into when I ovulated. I was also better at doing my temps (Fertility Friend couldn't find when I'd ovulated the last couple of months). So, I think it was probably about getting the timing right.

The biggest symptoms I have right now are sore boobs, a general sick feeling, being hungry quite often and weeing lots. The day before the HPT I was absolutely shattered for no reason. I could have slept at my desk if no-one was around. We're talking feeling like a zombie, even though I slept well.

PS. SWI- sex with intercourse? no? All means the same I suppose.

Morning all and welcome Making.

I've got my fx for all those POAS today, I'm excited for you .

How are you feeling today Astro. On top of the world I bet. Good luck to you and take care of yourself now.

Afternoon ladies and thank you for the warm welcome :)

Thanks Dalrymps for the quick intro, I think its going to take me a wee while to get used to everything but Im loving the friendly vibe!

Im off work today and still in my pj's :o
Everyone around me seems to be pg at the mo, we have a christening this weekend so I know that everyone will be saying the usual 'you next' wink wink. Sometimes I just want to scream at them but usually just smile politely :(

Good luck everyone and congrats Astro

Thanks for that Astro, as I'm quite new to this I don't really understand the charts yet, I will have to spend some time reading up on it and then go back to your one to work out whatit all means! Did you use the OPKs? I haven't bought any of those, I've just been trying around the 14th date but maybe this isn't right! I'll have to do some more reading up on it all, I find it quite daunting there's so much to look out for! :)

crystal fertility friend does a free charting course when you sign up which is very useful. I did use OPK's this month but nothing showed up. But clearly I did ovulate!

Good luck everyone x

Evening all - welcome making

8dpo (days past ovulation) and weirdly no sore boobs yet - normally by this time they're giving me real jip

Astro - fantastic news! So many congratulations.

I am not confident and because my cycle was stupidly short last time I am going to wait until the weekend to poas. By that time my DH will be back home and so I hope to suffer uncertainty for another few days. If not then nothing wasted.

Hey everyone! Welcome BB, TDW, Crystal, Making, and Golden!
Wow... I hope you'll enjoy the lucky bus!

So Astro, how was normality with a BFP?

Can someone tell me to stop POAS?! Seriously, of I'd gone for a walk today I'm sure I'd have been sniffing posts
AF not due until Fri and although my boobs are tender and I'm still getting creamy cm, the niggly cramps have all but gone
so I'm not going to POAS until AF doesn't show (who am I kidding?!)... I think I need restraining....

I hope you're all enjoying your cd!

Has anyone heard from Hickory? I wonder if she's POAS??

Much love x

Oh, just looking at the list and there's Signet, Bleats, and Roger all waiting to POAS... How exciting!

Bleats how are you managing to not??

Can I ring the bell to get off at the next stop please? Bfn all round, af is due tomorrow and I have all the signs that she will be right on time, I might hop back on as my cycles are really short, so actually if I conceive next cycle, it will still be a June baby!

Morning ladies

Still nothing at all happening here. I will be very surprised if I get a Bfp this time. Not in any rush but just can't wait for that moment when it finally happens!

How is everyone today?

Anyone POAS today?

Good Morning everyone. I'm now 8dpo and despite the lack of symptoms I'm becoming increasingly desperate to POAS. Like AngelFairy I think I need restraining! Anyone got any good news/promising symptoms to report? I've wasted so much money on hpt's over the last year that I'm determined to hold out from testing until Monday. Sorry to hear this cycle hasn't worked out for your Roger - stay on the June bus and fx for your next one.

Morning Dairy, Golden!

So sorry AF is visiting Roger 

Today is cd28 for me, as AF is due tomorrow, and I'm still surprisingly optimistic, as I'm usually spotting from cd26(ish) and I'm only seeing (tmi alert) creamy cm.
My breasts are tender, but not as tender as yesterday, which again is odd, and my niggly cramps are intermittent when they should be thumping ahead of tomorrow...??
I have POAS since my last post, and I'm so proud
So my dilemma is whether I'm pg or my acupuncture has further improved my PMT??? Hmmm..

Fx AF stays away tomorrow...

How's everyone else today?

That was supposed to say "I have NOT POAS since my last post"

Roger that's rubbish. But I'm glad you'll be staying on the June bus for your next cycle. Av a word with AF when she arrives today, won't you? Let her know that it's totally not acceptable for her to come for a good year.

I'm admiring you restraint Angel. Your symptoms sound very promising to me.

FX for some positives over the next few days.x

Afternoon everyone, how are we all?

Symptom spotting like mad at the mo. Had some pain centrally for a couple of days rather than on the side but still a week off from AF. I am however the opposite to most you lovely ladies and need to be forced to POAS! Think it comes from having mmc a few years ago and still feeling a bit nervous about the whole thing. When my period was late the other month I did not POAS for 5 days after and in a way I am glad I didn't as when AF arrived I did not really know for sure if I had conceived and could put it down to a late period. Not sure what I will do this time depends how strong I am feeling on the day!
