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

Just to add we didnt use opks with ds, I actually ordered them during his 2ww as I thought we had no chance! So I just guessed ov time as had ov cramps and ewcm.

jaykay987 · 25/09/2013 00:41

Aggghhhh. Im very annoyed today. Despite leaving for work at 5.30 this morning, i had to work so late there were no trains home. I'm now in a horrible hotel with no toiletries, no make up nor a change of clothes to go into work tomorrow.

Has this annoyed me? No. I am however super annoyed that I can't temp tomorrow morning, will miss tonight's vitamins and tomorrow mornings vitamins.

Ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

wispaxmas · 25/09/2013 07:28

Jesse, it's something to do with the ph levels in your cm, and it's usually too acidic for the little guys.

charleslingus · 25/09/2013 07:54

Ah Jessie that sounds rubbish, don't worry about your vits, the reason we take them before conceiving is so we have a store, so you've probably built up a good vitamin level, just get back on them when you can, frustrating I know.

Just thinking if we got pg this cycle would be able to tell grandparents on Christmas day, how lovely would that be! (Would normally tell them earlier but would probably wait for such a lovely time of year)

charleslingus · 25/09/2013 07:55

Ahhh jaykay not Jessie, sorry jaykay. Morning brain.

jessieagain · 25/09/2013 10:04

jaykay oh no! That would be annoying, but I'm sure it will make no real difference overall missing your vits and temp reading.

No makeup or change of clothes does sound like a nightmare though! I'd be heading out before work to go and buy some.

wispa that is interesting!

MundayCakes85 · 25/09/2013 11:10

Morning all, in my effort to get healthy whilst ttc I'm trying to give up smoking. However I'm on a 12 hour shift, we're understaffed and I'm stressing Angry so I feel I might not be as good today.
Also thinking about the big glass of wine I'll inhale at 9pm when I get home.
Hope everyone else has a fab day x

jaykay987 · 25/09/2013 12:06

haha Jessie. I would - but the only thing around here is a wh smiths! luckily they sold toothbrushes! not sure they would stretch to mascara or a new top!

SuzB83 · 25/09/2013 12:40

Hi Ladies. Hopping on board from the September bus. I'm on cd56 and no AF (and a million BFNs), but started using OPKs again and got a positive on Sunday so jumped DH immediately!

Cycles have been so irregular I'm guessing at my BFP date...
SuzB83, Cycle 9, BFP due 9th October

Fingers crossed everyone Grin

HisLommel · 25/09/2013 13:09

Ooh I'll jump on if I can?

CD1 today after Mirena removal on Monday. It's my third child, OHs third child, but altogether it's our fifth!

So-
HisLommel ttc#3 cycle 1, bfp due 22nd October.

Owlie84 · 25/09/2013 13:32

Oh I'm confused!

I have a fairly regular 27/28 day cycle, and according to the OPKs this month, I ov'ed on CD12 - is this too early? (the My Days app has its heart set on CD15, but I guess I should trust the OPK over an app?)

We didn't dtd before I got a +OPK, but we did (just about) on CD12 and CD13. Have I missed my chance this month? Should we still dtd? I've got a bit of a achy back and a twingy right side today, so I don't know what to think.

Sorry for the vent! Blush

wispaxmas · 25/09/2013 13:52

You can ovulate up to a couple days after you get a positive opk, so if your opk was positive on CD12, you could have ovulated any day from 12-15 or so. Do you keep track of cm as well? If you get EWCM it should vanish when you ov. But the only way to know the date for sure is to check bbt for the temp spike.

But it's also possible that you have a longer than average LP, which isn't a terrible thing. Way better than a short one!

MrsB2013 · 25/09/2013 13:56

Hi ladies I've just got off the Sept bus can I get on this one please?

MrsB2013 ttc #1 cycle #3 bfp due 21st

My opk's have arrived today so hoping they will be useful, never used them before!! I'm on cd2, when do I need to start using them?

Owlie84 · 25/09/2013 14:08

Ok, thank you wispaxmas! I don't think I get a lot of EWCM, I had some on CD11, then just the usual CM for a day afterwards, and now nothing. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

jaykay987 · 25/09/2013 14:23

owlie - what wisps said Smile

mrsb- do you know approx how long your cycles are? mine average at 32 so I start using them cd10. I think cd8 is about normal time to start. usually the instructions give you an example

ScienceGeekGirl · 25/09/2013 17:52

I'm back. Technically I'm not here as me and DH decided not to 'try' this month so no temping and opks and just DTD cos we wanna. Last long haul holiday really messed with cycle few months ago so with my trip to America this month thought it'd be less stressful for me this time round (which is actually true). Still can't be away from you mn guys too long. Does this make me a mn addict?

Welcome back fox. I know I haven't been trying quite as long but hugs and eat lots of chocolate for me (I'm on a diet after all the American portion sizes). I know it sucks.

Choccywoccydodah · 25/09/2013 17:53

I don't get a lot of ewcm as far I as remember. I've bought some conceive plus and want to use it tonight, no ifs or buts! We've had a busy few days, ds has been a nightmare to put to bed so after dinner I've been flat out knackered. Have still negative opk, so we're still pre ov Smile so lots of BDing will be had over the next few days.

I don't care if we have a boy or a girl tbh, I just want another bubba. Yes, one of each would be lovely, but a brother for ds would be equally as lovely Smile

Hi Owlie, I have 28-29 day cycle and usually ovulate on day 12/13. It's not too early; we're all different.

jessieagain · 25/09/2013 21:31

choccy I'm the same, would love a brother for ds but would also like to experience parenting a girl. Feeling really broody at the moment, so just want a baby!

It is funny, I've always been very broody, wanted children young, but waited. I even went off the pill about 6 years before we started ttc (left it all up to dp who wanted to wait, he was very fastidious with condoms lol) but then after I had ds I wasn't at all broody again until the last month or 2.

VJONES1985 · 25/09/2013 21:53

Hi all. I'm having a funny week. After af arriving last week after just seven days again, I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that my lp is far too short and it's not gonna happen for us for a long time. I'm sad and frustrated but nothing I can do!

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 22:05

Room for one more? I'm stomping on from the Sept bus, been in a grump all aft since af showed up, dtd loads around ov time so not impressed. But I have thrown caution to the wind and just ordered myself a cb fertility monitor, sod the expense, this month I mean business!!

Hello to those who know me, how you getting on? Hello too to those I don't know, i'm not usually this grumpy, promise I'll lighten up soon Smile

If someone could add me to the list that'd be great as i'm on my phone

Onelifeonechance ttc#1 cycle 4 BFP 20th

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 22:08

PS anyone using fertility monitors?? If so any top tips??

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 22:10

Ah Vjones I do feel for you, share the frustration of just wanting it to happen but somethings just aren't in our control no matter how hard we want it or try. Know that is no help to you but hope you get some comfort from knowing others feel the same

VJONES1985 · 25/09/2013 22:15

Yeah, it's horrible. Am still on the b6 and just hoping and praying that it makes a difference soon.
