Welcome to the November 2012 BFP bus for those of us that didn't make it on the October Bus and anyone else hoping for a BFP in November.

AWoman how short is a short luteal phase? I have always had short cycles, 25-26 days most months. This month I think I ov'd on cd13 and expecting af (I mean BFP of course) around 26. Slightly confused now...

TakingTheStairs · 18/10/2012 15:44

Esme The average luteal phase is 14 days.. also known as "the two week wait" but can be 10 - 16 days. In my non expert opinion, I would consider anything 9 days or under a short luteal phase.

AWomancalledHorse.. what kind of help can we get if we have a short luteal phase?

Taking, apparently vit B6/B multi complex can help (I'd started taking a daily multi-vit this month which may've helped me).
Doctor can prescribe progesterone cream (no idea how/where this is applied, have googled my butt off, as amazon sell cream for menopausal ladies & I don't know if it's the same stuff) or Clomid.
Having spent ages on google looking it up, it would seem it's really hard to get an old-fashioned GP to take it seriously, so arming yourself with as many facts as you can might help.

There is also this MN ttc thread on the subject, really worth a read.

Hai, glad all is ok physically. Hope you don't get the dizziness again (unless it's a pg symptom, in which case hope you get it loads) Grin

Pixie, post-ov shagging is great practise Wink

Welcome Angie!

Hi, please can I join?

This is 3rd cycle of TTC for #2. BFP due on the 15th November, considering I had convinced myself I was pregnant this time, came crashing down to earth with a bang when AF arrived so comforting myself with chocolate and wine.

Have been lurking on the october bus for a while and thinking I may give the soy a whirl this time round. I wonder whether anyone would know whether energy drinks are a good idea or not. I have one every morning and was wondering whether this could be having a detrimetal effect on TTC?

Welcome to sparlke,angie and grannyapple! Hope all are keeping well! Trying to lurk quietly as afraid of getting obsessed as I did last month!

sparkle the problem with energy drinks I'd that they contain lots of caffeine which we are supposed to cut down on when ttc or pregnant. That said, I still drink 3 cups of coffee ( have cut down) so it all depends on your total daily caffeine intake. Everything in moderation I always say!

Bunnygirlie · 18/10/2012 23:03

Any room on the bus for me?!? I'll bring home made macarons :-)

TTC#1 since June, cycles range from 28-36 days so no idea when AF due, my apps say end oct/ beginning nov

Since TTC one friend has had baby 2, another PG with num 1 and another just announced PG with num 4! Feeling a tad left out :-(

Angie607 · 19/10/2012 00:51

#puts kettle on....... Anyone? X

Hai1988 · 19/10/2012 07:55

Yes please angie :)

Morning all how are we all today?

curiousgeorgie · 19/10/2012 08:36

I'm only one day into my two week wait...

And I feel sick and dizzy. Really really sick and dizzy.

It's clearly just a bug or something. Blush

TakingTheStairs · 19/10/2012 09:03

Morning!

Happy Friday all Smile

Welcome Bunnygirlie.. home made macaroons.. yes please ! I am a pretty good baker but I haven't been able to master macaroons yet. Pavlova & meringues I can do with my eyes closed. I might give macaroons another go tonight.

ooohhh curiousgeorge fingers crossed.

littlepinkfizz I hear you on the not wanting to get obsessed! I was symptom spotting like a loon last month. I'm determined to be more rational this month.

sparkle I second what littlepinkfixzz said. I have a can of coke zero every day so I'm not one to lecture, but energy drinks are so full of chemicals on top of the chemicals that I would try to cut back a bit if you could.

Oh my god!!

I have no idea why or what's going on but I just took a FRER and a clearblue and they're both BFP!!!!!

Dark line on FRER and Pregnant 2-3 on clearblue!!

I'm shaking.

LexiLoganberry · 19/10/2012 09:55

Congratulations curious thats fantastic news.

AWomanCalledHorse · 19/10/2012 09:58

Congrats Georgie!!! Grin
Fingers are tightly crossed for a sticky bean!

You're more pg than me, I'm 1-2 on clearblue (taking, I'm going to take that as me being pg, finally).

Good luck with your macaroons taking, far too complicated for me, I mess them up everytime!

sparkle, if you can do without the energy drinks I'd try cutting them out if I were you as they're so full of crap!

Angie607 · 19/10/2012 09:59

Congratulations curious that's fabulous news!!! Xx

Sorry for double post...tried to post when mn was down...

curiousgeorgie · 19/10/2012 11:01

In theory it should be impossible to get a BFP this early, so I must've already been pregnant when I started 'trying' this month.

My periods are a bit all over the place because of the miscarriages, so I was just guessing from a conception app and didn't use ovulation sticks or anything.

Trying not to get my hopes too high given my history, but did just dig out a 'Big Sister' t shirt I bought my DD months ago (while pregnant) and sent DH a picture of her wearing it :)

Not sure what to do now...

Still very dizzy and sick... It must be a good thing!!

winkle2 · 19/10/2012 11:22

Just coming out of hiding to say fab news curiousgeorgie, so pleased for you. Please rub off some of your good luck on to me!
