The magical mystery flying fabulous September bus PART 4!

[GillyBillyWilly]

Maybe we should stop talking so much and get shagging instead??!

Just a thought

Awh sorry choccy :( I was the same last cycle...had myself convinced it was ib! So this time when I start spotting 4 days before af I will know that af is on it way :/ good luck next time round!!

Well I've a big night out planned for this friday...will be 4dpo...safe enough to drink????

Wispa I was convinced I was last cycle...and got a bfp...followed by bfn's the next day and af a few days later :/

Feeling positive this cycle coz we are really giving it our all and its been fun too...we are both happy, calm and relaxed this cycle with loads of dtd! So will be worried if that's not enough!

Sorry choccy. I'll keep everything crossed for you, excluding legs. xx

First cycle i had an evening of overwhelming tiredness and nausea a day or two before af was due which convinced me that i was of course preggers! second cycle i knew i wasn't. This cycle......i have 8 days til af. Only dtd twice 4 days apart!! So unlikely. But i have the tiredness and nausea and a small pain on the left.....

I've had every symptom under the sun and have also been caught talking to my belly more than once. I've only been right on one occasion. Now I try and ignore everything but log it so I can compare in subsequent cycles.

First cycle I was convinced we'd got lucky and felt I knew I was pregnant - no idea how many times or when we dtd as was so carefree didn't even record it those days seem so long ago then af showed her ugly mug and I was so shocked and upset. And felt really silly, even coming on MN to tell you guys

Second cycle I just knew I wasn't. Even with supposed symptoms I knew they were af related (but there's always that tiny maybe? to taunt you).

This cycle I feel more resigned to the it will happen when it happens side of ttc but I wish it would bloody hurry up We have given it our best shot so should theoretically be in with a chance but i'm not sure how I feel at the mo. No symptoms what so ever but then I wouldn't would I because even if it has fertilised please little egg it won't have implanted yet. I'm worried as if it doesn't work this time we've dtd far more than ever before and over my ov dates according to opk, so if that doesn't work my question will be why, why, WHY??!? But the more i'm on here and listening to your experiences the more i'm realising there is no why, it's all luck/timing/fate/destiny. But as my lovely nana used to say, you can only do your best, and that's what we're all doing, the rest is out of our hands

Aw choccy i'm sorry to hear that you are most certainly not a twat for thinking that you were in with a shot, see my post above, I thought exactly the same on my first cycle. You are lovely and funny and you've helped keep me company on here, it will happen. Go lick your wounds but get back on that horse pronto!

PS both the words bonk and twat in one day, feels like i'm back at secondary school!

The bit that annoys me most about ttc is that (1) you spend most of your life trying to prevent pregnancy, as though it were actually easy to get pg ffs and (2) there's only a 25% chance each cycle and that doesn't take into account age etc.

humans are so unbelievably shit at reproduction.

*apols if I don't make sense. Am very drunk on anniversary wine and haven't drunk anything for the last three weeks due to ttc #lightweight

I think that getting pregnant is a lottery, really. With the best will in the world aside from the obvious there's not much more you can do. I didn't know that there was only a 25% chance of getting pregnant each cycle and of course I do feel sorry for them I had a pregnancy scare myself as a teenager, but they just seem to fall pregnant at the drop of a hat. However that said. I know quite a few teenage mums and they are brilliant mums, but I doubt their baby's were planned.
It also makes you wonder as well, when sperm is ejaculated how hard can it be for it to find the egg. xx

Yes, there's only a 25% chance each month for healthy couples under 35. And it's very hard for sperm to reach and fertilise the egg successfully, bless them!

Apparently our bodies are designed to commit sperm-genocide in the vag before they even have a chance to get very far. Out of the millions of sperm ejaculated only a couple hundred make it to the fallopian tubes. It's like our bodies don't even want us to get pregnant!

I depressingly read the daily mail today (just to clarify I didn't buy it, it was in a waiting room!) and there was a woman in there pregnant with her 17th child. 17! I only want one well alright three

And purple, even if you are beyond tipsy you are still talking complete sense!

Just popping in to board bus no 4! Missed almost all of bus 3 as it moved so fast! Congrats to all the bfps and sorry to anyone af got.

Just read back the last couple of pages, I always end up thinking I'm pg by the end of the tww! Even if we haven't dtd lots that month and rationally I know we probably hadn't got pg that month, by the last few days of tww I'm convinced Im preg! Its really just desperately hoping I guess.

Purple totally agree with you on spending most of your life trying not to get pg, seems bloody ridiculous now! Excellent Monday night wine consumption btw!

I finally got my positive opk on cd19 today. Dh is full of manflu and initially said no dtd today. He never says no to sex so I know he must be feeling really rough but I couldn't help feeling really irrationally angry (inwardly, I didn't show it!) as its felt like forever this month for positive opk. Then felt super guilty as later he said 'let's go and dtd I know its important to do it at the right time' so I felt like a total cow for being mad at him!

I have the best immune system in the world and never sick. I know it's daft but I wonder if as well as being super talented at killing germs, I'm also the best ever sperm killer. I think I've gone mad!

Ha ha! I love how mental ttc sends us! Told my team leader today that I'm ttc and she's banned me from lifting, etc, in case I'm actually pg, bless her (I'm a Reception teacher).

@ VJONES

My husband won't let me pick up our cats anymore

Your cats? How much do they weigh?? Ha ha!

I have to agree - i have spent 20 years (20 years!!!!) trying (and suceeding) to not get pregnant. I admit i was assuming i would stop contraception and get up the duff fairly promptly. To be fair, it still might be prompt. I haven't even finished my third 2ww!!

My cat weighs 9lbs. He doesn't feel all that heavy but would be a largish baby! Looks easier to give birth to than a human baby, more streamlined.

VJ - one is 9lbs and the other is 11lbs

Oh dear. Did i really just write that?

Ha ha haaaa! Notta, I just nearly spat out my tea...

I know Notta! All those times we worried about missing pills etc etc. 3rd month; that means you're spastically likely to be preggers by Christmas and prib even before!

Sorry - that was 'stastically likely' x

And again 'statistically' - chunky fingers on I-phone!
