Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Hmmm that would be TTC number 1 not 231!

knickyknocks · 22/02/2012 15:42

Hello all, room for a small one at the back? TTC #2 at nearly 40, chemical pg and a m/c last year, hoping this flight will be one to take me all the way. Will cross fingers for a smooth flight with lots of BFPs please!

Hey all. Grin

Knickyknocks I had a chem pg at 4+1 after knowing for just under a week, last week, so it barely feels real!!! But, I think my cycle is carrying on as if it never happened, judging by CM etc. Did your cycle return to normal straight away?

Also, I wasn't going to join a bus/flight/shuttle or anything so I didn't get obsessed but a) I'm obsessed anyway and b) I'd like to hear some good news from people in the same boat, so I can have hope!! I'm so desperate to try/be preg/have a baby but I'm also scared stiff it won't happen again/I'll have another unhappy ending/I'll be one of those unfortunate/unlucky women who develop conception probs after having a baby.

In some ways my BFP/chem pg was good because I now know that if DH & I DTD on cd14, we get a BFP - that was the cd we conceived my DD & this recent 1, but cycle 1 we didn't DTD between days 12-16 or so & it didn't happen. But that is a double-edged sword: what if we don't/can't DTD then?!! Hell of a lot of pressure on us... Hmm

That's me spilling my verbal guts!! The whole TTC thing is pure hell and utter delight in the space of 28 days or so...Wink

More Wine &/or (decaf) Brew & Biscuit in this aisle I think!!!

I've added me in although I've still got 2 days til AF due I'm fairly certain the hag is on the way.

Beakersbelle · 22/02/2012 17:13

Hi - can I sneak aboard too? I've been lurking on the last two flights/buses (with the luggage?) and haven't posted yet (ever!) until now. I'm reserving a seat on this plane even though I'm not due AF until Saturday (14 DPO) but have had BFN today on FRER so I'm certain I'll be trying again in March. My cycles are hardly worthy of the name as I've got PCOS so I'm not sure when my next AF will be due. Would love to join you all for the journey anyway. Have stocked up on duty free OPKs, thermometer (am going to start charting) and booze and will settle down for take off with my giant pack of Always at the ready in my overhead locker (ugh).

knickyknocks · 22/02/2012 18:42

Welcome aboard beaker.

chunky my cycle was back to normal immediately following the chemical PG. I did the same as you, tested early using early PG test, which came up positive, and then came on, on my usual day. For all that I love early PG tests think they can cause more pain by showing these early PGs. Maybe it'd be better if we didn't know until 5 or 6 weeks. All that said, still didn't stop me from using them on my last cycle..... BFN's though, so that's why I have my boarding pass for this flight.

We have a 20 month old son - please can someone kindly add me to the list as I'm on my iPhone Grin. This is going to be the month!

TheNewMrsC · 22/02/2012 21:00

Me too please! Am 2ww'ing at the moment, but when if AF comes that still leaves me in with the chance of a Dec baby. I wanted to have a baby by age 30, then I wanted a baby in 2012, now I think I'll be lucky to conceive at age 30 :(

PrimalChic · 22/02/2012 22:50

Went to docs today and told her I was 9 days late. She said to bot bother taking a test for another week. Like I could last that long! Was busting all the way home as I thought they might do a test (well prepared!) and as soon as I got back I POAS. 9th BFN this month hmpf.

Going to lurk here with you ladies, save me a seat, preferably near the loo as I clearly have a POAS abuse problem.

Beakersbelle · 22/02/2012 23:17

Looks like may have been a bit hasty in my preflight checks.

Temp dropped this morning so I expected AF to arrive. However, as yet, nothing. In fact the spotting has got a lot less ............................
Cold it be implantation? Dare I hope? AF is due tomorrow but when she comes its usually be first thing.

Hi, I'll hop on board if you don't mind. This is my second month TTC and this month I'm trying to have a different attitute.

My main aim is to be healthier and fitter. i would like to get my 28 day cycle back with plenty of EWCM/ovulation at the right time of the month etc.

My plan of action is to continue with vitamin intake; SWI at the correct times with OPK (think too early last month); Manuka honey daily; 5 portions of fruit & veg daily and foods including nuts, seeds and cut back on processed food. Limit my tea intake to 4 cups. Exercise most days for half an hour, but don't over or under exercise.

Lastly I am going to step away from google and conception boards. I will only come on this thread but NOTHING else. Going to try and chill out about it. I'm really trying to talk myslef into this aren't I? It's so hard not to be obsessed.

bettergetamoveon (36) TTC #2, cycle 2, AF due 18th March (ish)

Good luck everyone!

bettergetamoveon · 23/02/2012 09:19

Pimal - how annoying for you not to know either way. I hope it's a BFP! Fingers crossed.

knickyknocks · 23/02/2012 09:31

Primal keeping my fingers crossed for you for a BFP.

better sounds like a fab plan. I'm trying my best too not to become too obsessed with it all. I'm fairly healthy, though knocking on a bit at nearly 40. Trying a bit of reflexology this cycle round and considering acupunture. Seems one of the keys to all this TTC malarkey is to relax. So going to try and chill out a bit more.

Working out dates for SWI (DH is a shiftworker, and if this isn't planned with military precision it means vital windows are missed! May even have to take half day annual leave next week to go home and DTD - looking forward to any of my colleagues asking if I have anything nice planned for my afternoon off Wink

cherrypiew3 · 23/02/2012 10:03

Pipbin and Primal fingers crossed for you both.

Knicky My DH works nights so I have to plan when we are going to swi.

Right can someone please give me a quick slap I am really driving myself mad symptom spotting.
