[Whysoserious]

TOOT TOOOOOOOT!!

All aboard the very festive Polar Express to Ausgust / early September. Come aboard for some mulled wine, Christmas cheer and lots of festive fun to get us all relaxed and up the duff by the end of 2011.

I shall be your conductor aka Tom whysoserious Hanks so tickets please! Dress code is snuggle PJs or Christmas jumpers.

As well as lots of TTC support we can share in Christmas fun, gift and decoration ideas. We need to be good though to Saint nick brings us our BFPs!

Who's with me?

Polar expressers...Chrimbo top tip for y'all - alcohol free, contains chocolate so aphrodisiac and guaranteed to warm up after a nice long healthy walk.

Home made Black Forest Hot Chocolate

Green and Blacks hot chocolate made with milk ( ignore the diet here ladies full fat milk is best)
squirty cream
grated chocolate sprinkles
cherry syrup (you can buy from polish shop or world food aisle of tesco for £1)

make up hot choc squirt cream on top drizzle with cherry syrup and sprinkle liberally with grated choc.... yum yum yum.

Day 45 and still no AF or blue line but super laid back and looking forward to trying on cycle 9. Hope all is well.

Wow dameflamingo, that sounds great! Was only thinking about black forest gateau today! When not hoping for BFP am thinking about food!

Hi everyone, can i join you?
I stopped taking the pill about 2 months ago, but havent been actively trying, just kind of seeing what happens! I don't want it to take over my life!

AF came yesterday, the 4th, my cycle seems to be 32 days, so am due on again on 4th Jan.

I am 32 and already have 2 dc's aged 11 and 7, I had a MC about 4 yrs ago, and it was awful, so put us off trying again, but we now feel there is room another little one in our lives! Am I mad?!!

Have added myself to the bottom, hope that's ok x

Changing at next station!!!!

Still in first class in their Chrimbo jumpers awaiting gifts!

Whee I'll add myself to the list too! AF arrived today - and I'm excited because this means I'm now officially in my first cycle of TTC! Just did a cringeworthy little dance in the loo at work when I discovered she had arrived! This past cycle was second off the pill so pleased it's gotten a bit shorter too - from 35 days down to 31. Errr guess that means next AF is due 5 Jan?

Changing at next station!!!!

Dear Spellcheck... I really understand what you are going through, I found out I'd had a MMC at 22 weeks a couple of years ago. Right now the pain must be unbearable for you. You have to feel it and don't try to quickly fix it. It's a long term, heartbreaking time in your life and all of your questions are completely normal. I went to counselling about 6 months after I lost my little boy (Noah) and it took me a good year to finally be able to cope with the loss.

Now, two years on me and my DH are TTC and every month that goes by that we don't I think it must be something to do with the reason why Noah died, even though the doctors all assure me everything is normal.

Which brings me to another point... who pushed me off the train?

I'm clambouring back on with tinsel and fairy lights..

It's snowing here, it's so christmassy and lovely :) Lots of fairylights out!

jencd I have an awful feeling that it was I who threw (goingtobe) momma from the train a few updates ago. It really wasn't purposeful if it was me!

Haha! No hard feelings... hope this time my ticket lasts to the next stop! :)

Ooh, snow, I am envious. Not a peep of snow here. I love snow!

Am in my prime week for TTCing this week, so fingers and toes (but not legs! ) crossed!

Hi ladies, and welcome newbies.

Spellcheck, so sorry to read your story. Here's hoping this is a very lucky bus for you.

It's not looking good for me this month. DH put his back out at the weekend playing rugby so no SWI'ing for us this weekend. (someone please enlighten me as to what this stands for. I know what it is but not actually what the letters stand for if you know what I mean). I'm no good at acronyms! Plus he's away pretty much all of next week which I think will be when I'm most fertile so looks like I could be off the bus before I've got more than a foot on it!

But that aside I'm just trying to remain positive and enjoy the christmas festivites. I haven't even got my tree up yet so must get on the case this week. No snow here. I do love snow too

SWI= sex with intent :)

No tree here either, is on my to do list for tomorrow x

Hi all, I'd like to join you all, seems friendly & cosy on the Polar Express but really not sure of any of my dates after a no show from AF over a week ago!

We have been TTC #1 for 4 months & for the 1st time, AF was late in Nov. Tested a couple of days later but got BFN. Now over a week late and still no sign of AF.

Has anyone else experienced this & is it worth testing again or am I just getting my hopes up unnecessarily? Is a week between tests long enough to leave it?

Trying not to keep thinking about it & whether test could be wrong but cycle has always been pretty regular up till now so very puzzled as to where AF is!

Evening Ladies,

Congratulations to the BFP

Spellcheck sorry to hear about what you have been through.

Well had a lovely weekend away with DH and got in lots of SWI shame I think it was just a little bit to late AF is due on Friday.
We are moving house in the new year and if AF shows up we are really thinking about stopping ttc for the moment. I really don't want to but wonder if it would be best for now what do you Ladies think I am really struggling with this decision at the moment carry on or wait.

Maccy I would test again with my last 2 pg it took 3 weeks for a positive result to show up so you never know.

Thanks piggyboo, I can sleep easy now!

How are we all doing with the SWIng?

I'm sure I ovulated last night, as crampy feelings... but can I get DP to do the deed? Can I hell as like! He's too tired from work at the moment

In fairness, we said we weren't going to try again after the MC until the new year, but dammit I don't want to wait

Clearly my seduction techniques need perfection. However he is a straightforward bloke, who doesn't like any romance faffing about; no feathery-strokery nonsense here, he's more of a poke-erection-into-your-back kind of man.

Im still here but have also fell off the list or not made it on :-(. Im TTC #2 cycle 2 and am due AF on 23rd December. At the moment i'm trying to seduce my DH every evening. My lastest ploy is to take my socks off!

floydie grrr what a pain your DH is tired! Have you tried to pin him down for early AM shagging? That's what I do with mine when he's (often) tired because of work. Set yer alarm 15 mins early and burrow under the duvet to pull his pants off while still he's still asleep (TMI)

Haha floydie that is a shame men just don't get the timetable our bodies set out for us !! I'm the opposite - I'm the one that's shattered I'm sick of coming home from a backshift and wanting nothing more than to fall into bed - but unfortunately my cycle does not work to the same rota as my job !! lol

on a similar topic ... Has anyone used pre-seed ? I'm , errr , getting a bit sore
