The September BFP Bus - 9th time is the charm...

[DisneyDiva87]

Fingers crossed for the number 9 bus.

Passengers on board
DisneyDiva87 TTC#1 Cycle 4 (I think) BFP due 2nd

I bought a load of cheapies on amazon so I can test to my hearts content without feeling guilty about wasting money

Woohoo thanks Disney! Let's hope this bus is a good'n

Thanks Choccy and Mama, fingers crossed for everyone :)

I'm feeling good vibes for this bus!!! :)

Cd6 is early yes but I normally ov on cd10-11. Am gutted as dp too tired to dtd last night (we did day before) and now I'm convinced we have missed the window this cycle so it's on to the next one boo hoo.

Also got results of my blood tests and liver bone one ?? Is abnormal but I can't speak to gp till next wed so am worried about that now...

Never mind am in car now off to Wales for mountains and camping and the sun is shining so life isn't that bad

Fingers crossed mama

Yay long weekend!!

Welcome Vickyvix. Good luck.

I agree mama31...can't wait for September to start and all the bfps to roll in.

So I meant to start using opk from this morning, but in the braindeadness of early morning, went for wee, all about opk forgotten. Instruction leaflet says to definitely use pee after the longest sleep. Eh.

In more encouraging news, got some nice knickers in the post.

Long weekend!!

I want a long weekend

Disney I was thinking of buying the cheap ones from Amazon (having spent a fortune over the last few months on obsessive POAS ). Which ones have you got? Do you know if they're any good?

I got the ones that say they supply the NHS (not sure if I believe them) and only used 1 so far and it was bfn so I can't/won't comment on if they are any good, the reviews were pretty mixed for them

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0026RKBSQ/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just realised they don't say they supply the NHS so either I lied, got confused with another load I was looking at or they removed it.

Very excitedly jumping on the bus - have finally persuaded DP that we should be ttc, always seems to be a reason not to! it's our first child together, but I have 2DCs from a previous relationship.
Stats are ttc#3 cycle 1, bfp 25th Sept.

Good luck and oodles of baby dust to everyone

Just thought - should I be taking folic acid / pregnacare vits now? Which ones do you all take? Seems to remember them being quite pricey?

Yes start with Folic Acid asap so it builds up in your system, I'm not taking any other vitamins but maybe I should?

I've been taking folic acid from Morrisons with a couple of other vitamins as I like their 3 for £5 offer. There's 180 tablets so its a billy bargain

Thanks - will get started on it.
I'm not sure about other vitamins etc tbh

I've got omega 3 capsules and multi vitamin with iron. I love the capsules I could eat them all day haha!

Watch out for multivits, they Inc vitamin A and it's a no no, even eating liver is not advised when ttc as it's full of it. Google it, as can't remember all the details but it's best to take specific ttc bits as some vits can be v harmful to v early pregnancy!

Thanks , didn't know that about vitamin A, off to google..

exactly I have folic acid from good ol' wilko's, cheap and cheerful. I also take B6 which I get in superdrug (with no effect so far!) Can't be doing with the expensive ones, will be different if I actually get my BFP

Have ordered some cheapy OPK's from amazon but they haven't turned up yet, they'll be ready for next month (hopefully I won't need them though!)

Ohhh. Poo

These will retire to the back of the cupboard.

I'm taking a mixture of Tesco and Asda folic acid a friend gave me hers after I'd bought mine so I stuck them all in the one pot.

Folic acid helps the neural tube to develop/grow and prevents spina bifida, but if spina bifida runs in your family (or your partners) you need to take a higher dose and your Dr can prescribe that for you .

Other vits are just a bonus but they aren't essential (unless you have a terrible diet with no vits in it!)

I always wonder why it's such a big pot and there's only about a third taken up by tablets...why not fill it?

Well, we managed another session last night, so fingers crossed...!

I think it was ovulation pain (Mittelschmertz - love that word) as it was localised and now it's gone. Woo hoo!

I've been taking pregnacare for a few months now. Read somewhere you should ideally take folic acid for 3 months beforehand, maybe it ensures you have enough the time you conceive.

I ov last Saturday (17th) well that's when I noticed ewcm and dtd weds, thurs, sat and sun but yesterday and today I have had lower abdominal pain and noticed a load of the stuff in my pants (oh god how bodies are disgusting!). AF is due on the 1st Sept so I'm not sure if we dtd too early and i'm actually ov now. Don't have a test- bodies are also very confusing!

I'm taking Pregnacare Conception, figure they have the right stuff in, but the pharmacist told me off for buying them at the same time as high dose Vitamin C, had no idea that is not good to take for TTC - it was quite obvious I was TTC with a basket full of Pregnacare, oodles of OPK kits and a CB digi HPT (don't laugh ). So lay off the high dose vitamin C!
