Thanks everyone Smile

Disney my best friend has actually made it quite clear she won't be ttc anytime soon so that's ok lol Grin

SoMuchFruit · 11/09/2013 16:27

Further to my sorry-for-myself post earlier, AF showed up about 2hrs ago. 4 days early Angry Wasn't due until Sunday but somehow I just knew this morning that this was not my month. Just had a feeling.

Ho Hum. Cycles are clearly a bit random. Usually 30/31 days but now an again she throws in a 27/28. WTF ?

Decided this coming month to just DTD every 2nd day from when she ends until she shows up again. And I'll work out the days I should ov on 27/28/29/30/31 day cycles and DTD a bit more often over that 10 day period.

Does that sound like a plan ? (Or is it unsustainable/mad to do that? )

jaykay987 · 11/09/2013 16:34

Sounds like a good plan. Just wish I could convince DH do to the same! FX October is your month fruit!

I'm also due Sunday. Pretty sure I will be following you off the bus very very soon.

Choccywoccydodah · 11/09/2013 16:43

Sorry gilly that you're feeling down. Go and buy yourself a big box of chocolates and eat the bloody lot! That always makes the world feel better to me. I know it's hard esp when everyone else around it seems is getting their bfp, just try and hang in there. I'm a great believer in the 'meant to be' saying.
Everything that has recently happened to us has 'meant to be' ie we are moving for the 9th time in 10 years soon. We lost out on 3 houses, and got the fourth. Out of all of them, we believe it will be the best one for our hopefully growing family and potentially make the most money Wink
Everything happens for a reason, your time will definitely come. Hugs to you and if you want to let it out and cry, do it! I know it makes me feel better having a bloody good cry. We're all here for you and everyone else, that's what this thread is about x

Choccywoccydodah · 11/09/2013 16:44

Sorry af got you somuch fruit, sounds like a good plan to me Smile

gillywillywoo · 11/09/2013 16:46

Thanks choccy Smile I was off work today so at home feeling sorry for myself. Just ate A LOT of icecream Grin

SoMuchFruit · 11/09/2013 16:50

I'm unreasonably sad. Compared to what some on here are dealing with.. this is only my 2nd cycle since we decided to TTC again I don't really have the (might be the wrong word) "right" to feel so sad/disappointmented.

I've told OH to stock up on steak and pasta as he'll need his strength. I think this is an occasion for an emergency cig .. and wine later. Definitely.

Sending Thanks to everyone who is feeling down today. This can be such an emotional time.

Somuchfruit Definately an occasion for a couple of bottles glass of wine Wine

GinandStripes · 11/09/2013 17:41

somuchfruit Everyone is on their own journey and has the same right to sadness/joy as anyone else. Now get yourself a cheeky glass bottle of wine!

I downloaded a meditation app earlier and a car alarm outside my flat wouldn't shut up for 30 minutes, so I had a biscuit instead!

GinandStripes · 11/09/2013 17:42

I lied... I had 5, chocolate covered ones too!

ELR · 11/09/2013 17:47

Hi ladies can I join been lurking everyday but never get around to posting.
Think i have ovulated today but no chance of dtd as won't have time today, did it Sunday and Monday night and tried to entice DH last night but he was too tired and said there's only so much sex a man can take!

Can't believe he was moaning usually he's always after a bit of action!
To be fair he has been working really hard recently as he has a big project at work and has had a lot of meetings in manchester we live in London, so lads of travel.

This is our second cycle trying for no 3 and same thing happened last cycle managed to dtd a few days before ov but then DH was away on business so missed ov. How long can sperm live in the body anybody got any good stories of dtd days before ov and getting a BFP?

Anyway these are my stats:
ELR TTC#3 cycle 2 BFP due 26th Sep

SuzB83 · 11/09/2013 17:50

Lol gin that made me giggle! I'm so confused just now. I'm now on CD 43 (longest cycle before was 37) have pomillions of s and all bfn! No symptoms to speak of but also no sign of af. Argh...why are our bodies so confusing!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 11/09/2013 18:27

Thanks for hugs and giggles. Here's hoping sperm does indeed live for 7 days. The survey is def going ahead on Fri now, but he's not away tomorrow woohoo so we have tonight and tomorrow night to make a baby...

Choccywoccydodah · 11/09/2013 18:33

Keep testing suz!
Welcome klr Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 11/09/2013 18:33

Why not?! Grin

coco808 · 11/09/2013 18:47

I'm very sadly getting off the bus Sad
Didn't ovulate this month, which is quite worrying but I'm putting it down to the stinking cold and chest infection I've had this month! Hmm

Good luck everyone!!! I wish you al the best Smile. I will check in regularly to see all the BFPs.

Gilly don't be down...sending you a hug! I have my fingers crossed and a really good feeling for you and Disney

Sorry Cupcake I won't be able to keep you company in the poas excitement/anxiety. I hope I won't see you on the October bus, but on the pregnancy forum! (If I every get there!)

Cupcake1985 · 11/09/2013 19:15

Aw sorry coco it's probably your cold messing everything up. Good luck for October!
ELR my DH said the same - I'm exhausted can I have a couple of days off? Haha. I wouldn't mind but it meant we only dtd every other day up to 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. I would feel better if we had dtd a couple more times at ovulation time. In the 2ww now but if its not our month it feels like AGES until we can try again. Figures crossed for the next week and a half Tennis

VJONES1985 · 11/09/2013 19:28

Hi all. Sorry to hear about people feeling so down. I've just got back from running so feeling a bit more cheerful but my boobies were hurting because I think I'm ovulating. Have got ewcm and had some cramps but opks are a bit hit and miss this month because now that I'm back at work, I can't test until the evening. Am listening to my body though and assuming that I'm ovulating.

SuzB83 · 11/09/2013 19:36

vjones I've been doing the same. Every time I feel myself stressed or obsessing about all this I've been going for a run or to the gym, makes me feel a whole lot better and makes me feel like I've got control of something. Just done a 10k and really calmed my mind.

SuzB83 · 11/09/2013 19:41

Omg, just realised how poncey that last post sounded...

VJONES1985 · 11/09/2013 19:44

Ha ha! ;) I'm looking forward to settling down to watch Whitechapel later too :)

ExactlyWhat · 11/09/2013 19:53

Anyone else think this bus needs some more baby dust / good luck?!?

Is a very full one and yet not many BFP's.. Hopefully will change soon with all of us still yet to test.

Think im in the beginning of 2ww. Pretty sure wont be our month but hey no - no doubt I'll be testing next week, have very little willpower!

VJONES1985 · 11/09/2013 20:03

I agree!! We deserve some more good luck!
