Just that really!
Looking for the November bus to hop on please. If anyone knows the next one due can you point me to it? Thanks!

Good luck LH :)

violetsareblu · 27/10/2013 22:52

Howly I sympathise, posted my details earlier in the thread and then have been lurking for ages trying to pluck up the courage to post again, pathetic really! I would say start sooner, you never know how long it's going to take even with the best plans. What would be harder for you a baby before September or one after?

Choccywoccydodah · 28/10/2013 06:43

Howly, I'd start sooner too. You never know how long it's going to take, fx I'll be one of the lucky first monthers!
Can I have your stats and will add you to the bus list Smile

Hiya galls. Been just lurking the last week or so. But happy times I'm having a short cycle. Whoop whoop. Just got a peak today so that moves my date to 12th. Love a short cycle as means that I get more chances in shorter time. Plus DTD yesterday and day before and plans for tonight so covered my bases well. Happy science Smile

skybluegirl33 · 28/10/2013 08:12

Choccy and Mama I agree with you to start trying as you never know how long it will take. I think we would all be happy with a BFP regardless of whenever the baby would be due.

LH, my husband is a teacher and I would prefer a September baby too so he could have his 6 weeks holidays followed by 2 weeks paternity leave off with me but we both decided not to wait until the new year. I'm now on my fourth cycle so really glad we didn't delay it.

Also, something to make you all laugh with TMI, I'm now going to wax my lady bits ready for my external and internal ultrasound I gave this morning! GP has referred me as she suspects that I may have an ovarian cyst. I can think of better things to do on a Monday morning!

MovingOnUpduffed · 28/10/2013 08:31

Can I ask a question, not a stealth boast honest! Dp and I have had a stressful time lately but had 3 days with him off work and dd at her dad's so have been using the time to ahem 'reconnect'. I am ovulating too so very in the mood. Is it possible to have too much sex when ttc? Does it affect sperm counts and mucous and stuff? We dtd 5 times yesterday. Blush

MovingOnUpduffed · 28/10/2013 08:36

We are trying now for a summer baby because I am waiting to start a new job and the application process only happens once a year. I missed this years as my depression meant I wouldn't be ready to start work, so now can't begin until July 2015, so I have a year off, which we have decided to fill with having a baby. Hopefully it will work out nicely. Turns out my depression may be a blessing in disguise. :-)

Howly · 28/10/2013 09:05

I came off the pill in January 2013 but cycles still a bit irregular; 28 days here, 45 days there - bit annoying and my AF is irregular in flow too! I've had it checked out though, with ultrasound etc... No problems!

A baby after sept would be better than a baby before.

MundayCakes85 · 28/10/2013 09:30

Morning all, been busy this weekend working and DIYing- first attempt at wallpapering and it's still on the wall and we're still talking so that's a success in my book!
Moving that sounds like a silver lining to me- FX you won't have to wait too long.
Howly I know how you feel with irregular AF, mine haven't settled yet either.
Thought I'd ovulated on Thursday but FF has changed her mind as my temp dropped today. No idea what's going on tbh. Will have to DTD tonight just in case! Oh well, needs must! Smile

mama31 · 28/10/2013 09:48

Moving I think perhaps let DH restock his goods! Probs was good quality the first time but I'd say by the 5th he may have ran out of stock! :/

Well we stuck to our "sex plan" and dtd very early this morning.....im sooooo tired now but had to be done! Will also have to do the same tomorrow if I get a pos opk today!!! Hoping the effort and planning pays off this time!

LH1981 · 28/10/2013 10:10

Good to see all this dedicated dtd'ing (well, not actually seeing. That would be creepy) Wink

Well, BFN for me this morning. 10dpo so could still be too early. Feeling very nauseous last night and when I woke up. Seems to have settled now. Perhaps the dizzy spell was down to an impending bug of some sort. On a positive note, I appear to have gone off sweet stuff. Been out for lunch and dinner on Saturday (lucky me!) and didn't fancy dessert either time and then didn't want any at all yesterday either - very unlike me! I know, I know...enough of the symptom spotting already! xx

mama31 · 28/10/2013 10:50

LH yes prob too early!!! hoping you get your bfp in a few days!!! :) and don't worry we love the symptom spotting!!!! :)

heba1025 · 28/10/2013 11:05

Can I join the November bus?? I'm ttc #1 for almost 3 years. m\c in june at 10 weeks. This month is my first round of clomid. bfp due nov. 5th. Fingers crossed for everyone!! :)

LH1981 · 28/10/2013 11:10

Hi heba - welcome aboard! Hope this is your lucky month!! Sounds like you've had quite a time of it x

ImaginaryHat · 28/10/2013 11:22

Morning ladies, can I hop on board please? Spotting finally turned to af properly yesterday so I've had my few days off being weepy and sad, and am now ready to embrace the next chance! Af will be with me for the next few days so that will give me a chance to read back through the November thread and see what's going on with everyone, hopefully that's lots of dtd! Hope you are all doing well.

Would someone be so kind as to add me to the list please?

ImaginaryHat, ttc#1, cycle 7, bfp 23 November

mama31 · 28/10/2013 12:17

Welcome heba! Hope this is a lucky bus for you!!! :)

Hello imaginary, it sucks when af is hanging around I know!!! Hopefully you feel ready to tackle it again in a few days time! Good luck!!! :)

grobagsforever · 28/10/2013 12:25

Morning all. CD 22 here of 25 and feeling out this month. Got BFN yesterday. Not testing today or tomorrow as flying for work. Just feeling rather.negative about this month.welcome to all new passengers, FX for all.

DisneyDiva87 · 28/10/2013 12:28

Hello!

Hope everyone had a good weekend, AF turned up on Friday and then I had to go swimming with my nephew on Sunday. Oddly though my period had finished I put a pad in afterwards and just a tiny bit of spotting. If the first 2 days weren't so heavy I'd be POAS asap!

Choccywoccydodah · 28/10/2013 13:43

Welcome newbies!! Will update list when off my phone.

Moving, yes you can Dtd too much when ttc.
I read a couple of months ago that for a man with a regular sperm count, it doesn't affect anything if you Dtd once per 24 hours. However once you get to 7 days in a row, his sperm count can drop quite dramatically. Still millions in there but it dropped to somewhere like half and when you're ttc every one counts!!
I'd stick to once a day lol Smile

mama31 · 28/10/2013 13:48

Well I'm confused! Got a very strong opk yesterday (almost positive, very close to same colour as test line) so was expecting the positive today but it's back to negative (faint line) :/ so I'm wondering was the positive maybe later on last night (should have tested twice yesterday dammit) or did my body maybe gear up for ovulation and then fail, but will try again in a few days!!! So confusing!

I do however feel quite rubbish today, have a few lower abdominal (to the right) twinges so thinking that the positive was prob last night and I'm ovulating today! Dtd this morning anyway so bases are all covered but it's annoying not knowing coz I don't want to dtd every day then get a pos opk in a few days when the spermies have been drained of their excellent quality lol

Never gets easy does it :/

Choccywoccydodah · 28/10/2013 13:57

I had that too mama!
I didn't test Thursday (due to our dog), tested Friday at 1.30ish and it was really dark, then it went pale that evening and Saturday. I got a proper positive yesterday. Hopefully you get the same and haven't missed it!

lucyfluff · 28/10/2013 14:05

Hiya!! Still confused here (nothing new!!!). No AF, just the occasional brown spot on pantyliner sorry tmi. We are still dtd but I have no idea whats going on. If nothing in a weeks time I may visit GP for some advice. Or if anyone on this thread has experience of AF after a chem and how long it took would be appreciated??!!

Its half term here now so I have a busy week with all three boys Smile looking forward to a bit of trick or treating too Smile Smile Smile

Hello!
How is everyone? Brew?

Mama I took your advice, pulled myself together and dtd last night, glad I made the effort so thanks for te virtual push!

Can I Ask a bit of advice? Feel like I'm getting my period today? Lower ab cramps, nothing too strong just twinges and almost a full ache but Af isn't due for two more weeks! I'd roughly calculated to ov tomorrow so now I'm confused. Any ideas?

OP posts:
mama31 · 28/10/2013 15:15

Thisisme! No probs! Not that I'm pushy or anything ;) good job girl!!! Well done!!! :) also sounds like ovulation cramps I'd say! Prob ovulating today then!!! Can you squeeze in another shag?!!!

Choccy thanks for that! It's so confusing! But if I did miss the positive (if it was on sat but I didn't test sat as was only cd4) we are covered anyway as dtd sat and this morning. I will just keep opking and shagging just in case!! :/ but worried to overdo it and waste the good stuff much before ovulation, then don't want to skip a day either in case I miss it!!! I think keep shagging would put my mind at rest though, so that's what I'll do!

Lucy that's so annoying! Sorry I can't offer you any advice hoping someone else can shed some light for you or perhaps start up a new thread about it and others with same experiences might join to offer advice? Have fun this week with your lovely boys! :) :) :)
