Hello! Can I join in the fun? Been lurking for AGES (lurked for the whole time the November bus was travelling) and now I want to join in the fun!

Didyeaye · 03/12/2013 22:02

Oh yeah, stats! TTC 1, cycle 7 (ish), BFP due 13th dec (ish)

DichotoMous · 03/12/2013 22:04

Welcome aboard Didyeaye! Once you've done your first post there's no going back!

Jess I think we might be poas buddies -unless I cave before then-, when is AF due?

(sorry if the formatting doesn't work, I'm on my phone)

Didyeaye · 03/12/2013 22:20

Thanks dicho

Officially lost it, saw a line on an IC today at 4dpo! My eyes are obv plotting against me! On the plus side, got a pos opk on cd20 - last month was cd28!

Missvaughan85 · 03/12/2013 22:37

Hey sazzle nice to see you back,
Thanks further new thread Barmy and about work stuff, it all depends really in what patents agree, it can make for a difficult discussion. It hasn't been the easiest. But I'm coming through the other side ok. You live and learn as they say.
Well two more days until af should arrive, haven't really thought about it today, but it'll probably be on my mind all day tomorrow. Boo!! Don't know whether to hold out till Friday and see if af arrives it not. I usually come in straight away. Rather than spot, so may wait and text hunny Thursday to by some tests just in case if it doesn't make an appearance x x

Can I join in too? Been lurking for awhile, ttc #2, 3rd cycle, bfp due around 21st December!

greentealeaf · 03/12/2013 23:41

Wow - this bus has been mega busy! Sorry to all of those who've been caught by the witch and thanks for starting the new thread. Also thanks for the well wishes - you ladies are wonderful Smile

I'm getting a bit fed up of the mystery of TTC and it's only my first flippin month, argh! I am now cd32, 3 days late, no sign of AF and I get BFN every morning cos I'm insane and test every day. I don't know whether I'm late because my body's adjusting after having implant removed or it's good news. By heck I could do with some. Harumph! Heads for back of bus to sulk

LittleOwlie · 04/12/2013 03:05

Hi everyone, pushing thru my app hateWink

Barmy - I really wanted to say there's never a good time to TTC. I made a lot of mistakes by waiting for perfect moments. My first TTC attempt was 5 years ago and ended in IVF referral and my relationship in divorce. Today I'm 40 and scared I've lost the chance for the family I wanted. Any children now are gratefully received. I guess I'm trying to say that don't put things off like me. Having little ones are not often convenient but you deal.

I know it's a poor thing to compare to but I wanted a puppy like forever. I finally took the plunge and now I realise I could have easily done it months or years earlier.

Newlywed2013 · 04/12/2013 04:47

Hi ladies, as you know i got booted off and reboardded the bus to hopefully have my bfp by the end of the year!!
I found just before i AF got me, i was starting to get a bit obsessed so going to try and stay clear of here for the next week or so! Still waiting for AF to finish.... i get really crappy 8 days of bleeding!! :(
we have decided if by march we have not had our bfp then we will starting charting etc!
Good luck for all of you on the bus hoping to find out in the next few days!!!

mssleepyhead · 04/12/2013 07:02

Big day today - sperm meets egg day. Willing them to bump into each other! But a short LP predicted... Thinking of getting pineapple juice to help implantation - does any

mssleepyhead · 04/12/2013 07:03

One know if that really works...?

Also, if you conceive, is it true tour temperature stays up if pregnant? That seems a "gentle" way to find out if its worked or not!

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 08:16

Oh little owlie, makes me mad at myself for moaning after you said that. I know it wasn't meant to make me feel bad or anyone else. I feel for you and I'm sending hugs, but your right, life's to short to worry over the what if's. I think I need to grab it by the balls sometimes and just go for whatever it is im thinking of doing!!! I was going to poas ic this morning but I can't find them, I've hidden them somewhere. Maybe that's a good thing.

Polkadot1 · 04/12/2013 08:23

Bizarre thing happened last night- went out for an Xmas meal and drinks with a good pal I've not seen for ages (usually have a good knees up) - after about 2 glasses wine I just couldn't drink anymore- just didn't fancy it- which NEVER happens! So I'm hoping that's a sign...

mama31 · 04/12/2013 08:45

Hi Sazzle, Spinning, Lucy, Onelife and all you other lovely ladies!!! :)

Yes I have been lying low but just popped on to say hello and that I hope you are are well and feeling festive :) I am!!!! :)

I have been very relaxed this cycle, haven't used opks so dont even know when I ovulated which feels great! No counting down the days to test and no symptom spotting!! It feels great to be focusing on Christmas fun instead of ttc to be honest! :)

I should be due af/bfp between 12-15th December, really not sure! But I will Definately pop on here to let you know what's happening and to see all of your lovely Christmas BFP's of course ;)

Happy December everyone!!!! Hope Santa brings you a nice, big (clear), shiny BFP!!! :)

Lots of love! Mama x

lucyfluff · 04/12/2013 09:35

Ahhhh mama....LOVELY to hear from you Grin glad your feeling more relaxed this cycle too! Its a great month to just forget about the baby making and have fun with loads going on. I really hope you get lucky this month. Will you poas and let us know?! I would love some crazy conpany doing mine!!!

Good luck missv for this week...not long till you can poas...if you can find them Wink

We dtd last night and had slight blood tinged cm after Sad god knows what thats about but. The only thing I can think is that the position was causing it ( sorry tmi) lol!!! Has anyone else had this?? Its gone now thankfully but still wierd......

Oh well off to bake some banana bread....not very festive I know but just fancy it!!!! Grin

Wineandchoccy · 04/12/2013 09:38

Hi ladies, hope everyone is having a lot of Christmas fun, I think it should be Christmas every month because I have been so busy I've not thought about dates, opks, symptoms so here's hoping for a bfp to put in DH's Christmas stocking Xmas Smile

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 09:45

Lucy I had that last Monday and it wasn't the position when dtding, it was weird, it was orangy pink coloured but very watered down, I was hoping it was ovulation and that I was dtd at the right time, as you can sometimes bleed during ovulation. So very strange though as it was there one minute then gone the next. X x

spinningirl10 · 04/12/2013 09:51

Hi Mama good to hear you're feeling relaxed and enjoying the Christmas build up :) Yes do pop on and tell us when you've poas but until then....have fun :)

lucyfluff · 04/12/2013 10:13

Hmmmm thanks missv...actually I remember you posting now! Im sure its past ovulation now though so it cant be that ??!! well maybe it is and I am ovulating later.....

sazzlehopes · 04/12/2013 10:47

Hi mama - good to see you popping in. Enjoy your week and do pop back in to let us know how you get on later.

MissV - thank you for the welcome - it is nice to be back here. I'm trying to be a little more relaxed this month, hoping what with christmas i'm just too busy to worry anyway! Wineandchoccy you are right christmas every month would definitely help all these days rush by!

mssleepy - it has to be actual pineapple, not juice and you ahve to eat the core. If you google it then you will be able to read more about it. I tried it last month, obviously to no affect but i like pineapple and found no harm in trying something new!

HippyJess · 04/12/2013 10:59

Hey dichoto, we might be! AF due Thursday but I'm saying Friday as I'm slightly irregular and don't want to get my hopes up before then Wink

LittleOwlie · 04/12/2013 11:50

Hi MissVaughan,

Aaah thanks!! But please feel free to moan away! That's partly what this forum is all about...a place to be able to come vent if you need to. Grin

Catface78 · 04/12/2013 12:10

I just got my BFP this morning!!!!!! Really strange as I've felt like AF has been coming the last week. I did a test last night and it was negative but got clear positive is morning. Yey!!! Love my cbfm. Hope you all get BFPs for Christmas too!

JennyOfOldstones · 04/12/2013 12:19

Congrats Catface fantastic news! Have always wondered- are you named after the catface cartoons on YouTube? I love them!!
