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

Hello.

AF is now super super heavy - so I think Im CD2.

Im just catching up on the bus chat so far...fingers crossed this is a very lucky bus for us all! Grin

Please can someone update the bus? (In on ny phone and can't do it). My BFP is due 19th October. (Im currently dateless near the bottom of the bus). Thank you!

Hi all fellow bus passengers :)

Hope a good weekend for everyone. I am CD6 today but AF still very faintly lingering. Had a plan but now am doubting it due to google. Stupid google.

DH & I were going to DTD every 2nd from today (although, maybe tomorrow now that AF is still sort of here) and then over a few 3 day periods that would cover the fertile days of 27 day-34 day cycles.

However, read over the wknd that 3-4 days of DTD every day could be counterproductive. Now I am fretting about that Confused

Was planning on starting SMEP tonight, but DH has come back from the Great North Run with a (ahem) delicate injury! Hmm
Don't think this will be our month either at this rate!

Somuchfruit - your plan sounds good to me. Similar to SMEP which is highly recommended.

English - that sounds interesting and painful!

panicmechanic · 16/09/2013 23:13

Hi Somuchfruit, I asked my GP about that and she said quality can deteriorate if you dtd for 3 days running but if you are doing SMEP you will supposedly have a 'reserve' already there so it will counter balance. Last month I did SMEP but I think we lost steam at the wrong point :(

Hi all, I'm CD3 now and AF seems to have disappeard. V weird as I had such a long cycle (42days) last month i was expecting the period from hell! I was on the pill for about 9 years so guess my body's still adjusting?
Has anyone else had this happen? It's so frustrating spending years worrying about an accident happening that when you finally decide to get upduffed it takes bloody ages!
Anyway rant over! Grin

Hello ladies, no offence but gutted to be here, just been kicked off the September bus even though af not due til Saturday according to FF and when I ov'd.
This was my first proper post pill cycle and only 26 days so I should be happy about that at least.

Stats are

Haven't read back yet, but no doubt a few from the September bus are here, so can I sit by one of you and cry? Sad

Hey Choccy, there's room next to me and a box of tissues! Sorry you've had to join me!
My DH's injury was caused by him wearing a pair of shorts he'd not worn on a long run before and going commando! Hmm
He won't be making that mistake again. He's also saying he's really poorly with a cold. But claims to be looking forward to the three days running on the SMEP!

Conceive plus? Please explain to the silly not quite newbie?

And while someone explains Conceive Plus can someone also explain SMEP for this newbie! Soz.
I'm on Pregnacare, he's on Wellmans and I've ordered a fertility monitor. Always nice to see a smiley face!
Also, had been DTD straight after the first positive sign after the POAS method, but read yesterday that a positive line means 12-36 hours to go til ovulation. Oooos. I was getting positive line for two days, then none, so I'm guessing the third day is ovulation?! We'd stopped by then. He was knackered! Ha ha!

Hey, due to lots of AF type cramping during the day I think I ov'd yesterday (cd14) OH has developed a cold man flu though so no dtding, managed cd 11 and 12 and that is all so far this month (fx it's enough)

english concieve plus I believe is a lube which helps spermies swim through to where they need to get to.

Welcome newbies, sorry AF got you and is playing with your emotions.

milknosugar SMEP is a conception plan where you time dtd I think every other day until a smiley face/lines on opk then dtd every day for 3(?) Days have a rest for a day then dtd again. I think I've got that from what I've read but not actually tried it.
