Well I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start up the October bus, there's plenty of Cake and Wine on board and extra comfy seats for relaxing into those BFP's

Hi all, I don't temp or use OPK's. Hubby used the term "trying too hard" when I mentioned i was going on Folic Acid 3 months ago Hmm So am not going to start a convo on that just yet! I look for EWCM and also use an OV predictor app and try to DTD every other day but haven't been too good at sticking to that plan yet! Am much more determined this month though!

CleverOl10 · 27/09/2013 21:05

Just looked back at how many people are listed on this train - there are loads! Surely some of them have to be BFP. Come on October!

MundayCakes85 · 27/09/2013 21:09

Well I managed to persuade him indoors to DTD before he left for the football. Followed by 10 mins feeling a little silly lying with my knees up! But at least I'm on target for the SMEP this month. Now enjoying the sofa and telly all to myself. Hope everyone is having a lovely start to the weekend

Choccywoccydodah · 27/09/2013 21:41

Train, lol :)

CleverOl10 · 27/09/2013 21:47

Lol I thought a train was a bit speedier than a bus - I'm impatient!

wispaxmas · 27/09/2013 22:44

Fluffy, I didn't like using opks, either, but temping was really helpful for me.

Well done on the weight loss, three, and good luck if you poas in the morning, I had shadowy bits on ICs from 9dpo, but they disappeared every other day, it was such a roller coaster, so maybe would have been best to wait until 12dpo before starting to test!

newforest · 27/09/2013 22:46

I've got seven days left before I "should" test, but trying to avoid the strong temptation to test a few days early! Who knew two weeks could be so long? And being my first cycle, I'm sure the wait will just get longer.

Snowlet · 28/09/2013 00:33

Soooo been reading for ages but only just registered, this is my first ever post!, not sure which bus I should try and hop on (ho on?) but I've sworn I won't test til 1st October so am I in the right place??

TTC #1
1st cycle trying after MC in Jan (5wks)
11dpo

feeling intensely pregnant, based on previous experience, but every day I just convince myself I'm crazy

englishteacher78 · 28/09/2013 06:24

Well, the SMEP went out the window this month - only managed to DTD twice!!! Still, a few weird things have been happening so I'm not entirely sure what is going on with my body this month. In terms of my job it really would be good if I could be pregnant by December/January Wink

Choccywoccydodah · 28/09/2013 08:18

Welcome snowlet and congratulations on your first post! We're honoured it's with us Grin
So sorry about your mc, hope this is your month x

jessieagain · 28/09/2013 08:18

gnomie lol folic acid is 'trying too hard' what does he think it'll do? Grin

Yes! I agree with turning this into a train! Feels like I've been on board an age already! Haven't started any opk yet, still too early as only on day 5!!

Goodluck snowlet let's hope you get a bfp on the 1st and it will be a good omen for the rest of us!

Ah yes englishteacher a few friends who are teachers have managed to wrangle that summer holiday baby! Good luck to you!

CleverOl10 · 28/09/2013 08:23

Hi englishteacher - I am in the same boat and could really do with conceiving in the next couple of months. Also my DS starts school next Sept and I'd love to be on mat leave so I can take him and collect him.

Choccywoccydodah · 28/09/2013 11:47

That would be perfect clever and English, good luck to you both!

Well, a strong line on the ov test this morning, so fingers crossed it's a positive later :)

MundayCakes85 · 28/09/2013 12:03

Sounds like you're going to have a busy weekend Choccy!
Keeping my FX for you Snowlet- get the ball rolling on our BFP super train, hehe.
I think a summer baby would be lovely, lets hope this is a busy, lucky tread x

MrsB2013 · 28/09/2013 15:58

Hello to any newbies Smile

How is everyone?

Vjones hope are you ok? You have been quiet on this bus!

Is anyone else taking the Seven Seas trying for a baby vits? After reading the other thread about the Pregnacare ones, I hope they don't lengthen my cycle.

charleslingus · 28/09/2013 16:14

Hi Mrs, I am but I can't really help as I'm on day 3 of them Grin

Previous to that I just took seven seas b complex with folic acid (which essentially is for ttc as these are the basics required, I just think the trying for a baby one has the same b bits and folic but added iron and lots of extra goodies that can help thrown in) I was fine on those, 26-29 day cycles averaging 27 with three days spotting before af (which is normal for me)

PurpleGeekyGirl · 28/09/2013 16:15

I had no probs with the seven seas ones Grin

MrsB2013 · 28/09/2013 16:48

I'm only on day 3 of taking them too! I was taking folic acid, vit d and vit c all separately.

I'll try them this month and see what happens!

charleslingus · 28/09/2013 16:55

Well we can compare notes then!

I grabbed them as they didn't have my usual and as they seemed to have everything I was taking and more thought it wouldn't hurt to build up iron stores. Hope they don't mess with cycles, I like mine but I suppose no spotting would be great.

Choccywoccydodah · 28/09/2013 18:46

Pah, still not a positive of my ov test! I've done 3 so far today!

Anyone doing any early testing??

RaRaZ · 28/09/2013 19:29

Sorry to butt in again after being so quiet. Pretty sure I didn't ovulate this month so no BFP for me. Just waiting for Day 21 test so I can start to bug the doctor about why I'm not ovulating as I should Sad

jessieagain · 28/09/2013 21:32

choccy what opks are you using? I thought the line you got this morning was enough?

I think I will have to use opks at around 7pm each day. What with ds and work I think it will either be impossible or I'llforget if I try any earlier. I hope 7pm is not too late to detect the surge.

jessieagain · 28/09/2013 21:33

Sorry to hear that rara I hope your gp is helpful.

Choccywoccydodah · 28/09/2013 21:43

Jessie, the line was darker than yesterday but still lighter than the test line, therefore negative, then later on it's gone lighter again! Confused!
I'm just using Internet cheapies, but my new ones have arrived and they are different to the ones I was using this morning which I've run out of.
We're dtd often enough anyway, but thought today would be a positive, will try again tomorrow.
