Hi everyone, I know this is probably a bit early (since it isn't July yet) but I thought I would start a new thread for those who lost their tickets for previous busses and for those who are beginning their bus journey now. Please feel free to add your stats to the list and grab a good seat while you can. Best of luck to everyone TTC and I look forward to getting many BFP's posted on here.

choccywoccy yep exactly the same here too - DS hit 2 and changed almost overnight. As I said before I work FT now, but we're away for a week and having a whole week with him has been magical. There's a set of woods we have to walk through to get to the beach and he's there saying 'might be a gruffalo!' and DH is there at the back making growling noises and the whole parenting thing is back to loveliness (in between cleaning toddler mess looks at apple half spat out on the floor).

Hi everyone i was invited onto the bus by laura thanks hun.
I am on cd6 today...last 2 cycles have been 56 days & 43 days so its a long wait for me Sad

Started temping last cycle as i have pcos & opks dont usually work for me.
Last cycle i started temping mid way through & ff showed i ov on cd28...we dtd a few times around then, luckily as i didnt know if/when i would ov.
16dpo af/bleeding arrived light/med flow & lasted 3 days. Af stopped on Sunday & since i have been off work feeling & being sick..boobs are sore too.
To add to the confusion i poas yday as someone pointed out my temp is still above coverline..only just though! As im new to temping i dont know what im looking for or if this is normal.
Bfn but later i went to put the stick in bin as i left it on window sill after washing my hands & there was a very very faint line...evap line prob as it was grey with only a tiny dot of pink at the bottom.
So either cd6 or 23dpo!!

fx 1moretime !!!

Rainbow555 · 25/06/2014 20:25

Welcome to the bus 1moretime

foscar that is a tricky one! Have similar issues at work and ppl keep asking, getting lots of baby comments at the mo it's not like I am not trying!

Fxblue your feelings are true!

And kitty if you come up with any convincing ways please to share! I was unable to convince DH last night and he was up at 6 today for work and will prob be working late tonight too! in an ideal world the swimmer has already met my egg but there is no harm in doing one for luck!

Less than a week before this bus leaves the station! Can't believe how quick time is going!

Choccywoccydodah · 25/06/2014 20:40

Aww mrscog that's sounds lovely Smile Enjoy your week as a family.
Ds starts preschool tomorrow. We've switched nurseries due to lack of spaces at his current one and they're putting him straight into preschool rather than move him in 2 months.
It's his first full day too at anything other than grandparents. My boy getting big Hmm

Still no positive on opk stick here, but still strong. I can only guess little eggy will be ready for release tomorrow Smile

FoscarC · 25/06/2014 20:42

Hello ladies. Well, I've decided against the skiing. If I'm not pregnant do I want 3 months away (it's early jan to late march). And if I am then I don't want to be doing it either. And what is more important, skiing or babies. I think babies.

So, I'm now Cd29 and 13dpo. Still no af. Woke with really bad tummy cramps at 0530 this morning. But feel fine now. Sore boobs but that's not unusual. Quite a lot of white creamy discharge (sorry tmi). And have had general feelings of period cramps on and off for last few days but no af. But this all may be in my head. Generally I feel absolutely normal. apart from the cramps, the big sore boobs and the discharge but I'm trying to ignore it all and not get my hopes up

My most normal days to get af are 29 or 31 days. So fx it stays away.

Welcome 1moretjme. That does all sound confusing. Is it worth doing another year just in case? I think if have to!!

xBlueberry88x · 25/06/2014 20:44

Afternoon ladies,

Foscar Cant you accept and then cancel if you get your bfp?? Id love to do something like that but id probably be the same. Although I keep turning things down and weve been trying for 15 months now.

Kitty my eyes would definately go blurry after a while lol

Laurano thats so funny!!!

Rainbow can you bribe dp with sexy clothing lol

MrsE restricted diet doesnt sound fun. im Coeliac so I have a fairly limited diet which is annoying enough.

AF is just buggering off for me, it nicely disappeared on monday for my birthday and then came back the next day haha so got some birthday dtd.

Started on the diet and exercising today which is bad times and have lots of tests to book in for the next month.

I dont think were really going to try to hard this month going to try and relax.

Hope everyone is good.

1moretime · 25/06/2014 20:45

Ohh i dont know what to think!!
Yeh think i will give it a few more days and retest. Xx

FoscarC · 25/06/2014 20:49

mescog have a wonderful holiday. Good luck with all school reports and balls and induction evenings to all the teachers. I do not envy you!! Teaching must be hard work. And I'm so pleased that everyone who was in pain is starting to feel better. Looks like everything is on the up now and just in time too. Yay! Let's all keep dtd and get lots of BFP.

By the way, loved the picture laurano although I'm pretty sure my oh has far more hair on his head than I do on my lady garden. May try and grow it back and give it a go though. Just for a laugh. Although may hamper my quest for lots of dtd.

FoscarC · 25/06/2014 20:54

blueberry I could but it would just mess everything up. I'm in the army and it's going out on exs with the marines so we will need to do pre training and stuff which could be hard if I don't know what's happening and if I get pregnant last minute another person may not be ready to go out. I said I'd let them know next week. I'll know by then one way or the other the. Will need to decide whether to stop trying until after or not go at all. The thing is I'll get to go another time possibly and have been to Norway before with work (admittedly a different exs), and there's loads of opportunity to go away. So maybe just say no this once.

cinnamongreyhound · 25/06/2014 21:03

I assume that would mean 3 months off ttc as well FoscarC if you're not already pg?

Was going to say I think FoscarC is before me for poas and she's confirmed it. I will only be disappointed if I do it early. Dh said you've got 15 so use them but experience tells me to wait even if my heart says to give it a go!

FoscarC · 25/06/2014 21:27

cinnamon yes it would and that puts me off too. My sister said to just accept it and if we get pg then just cancel it. But that's just a bit bad form. And would potentially stop me getting things in the future as it'd piss people off I would imagine. I don't like letting people down. We will see. I will have the answer by Monday at the latest. Eeeek!!! And if I don't get a BFP I can have a think about what to do.

spinningirl10 · 25/06/2014 22:06

MrsE, restricted diet doesn't sound like much fun.....I drink hot water with lemon, I like it and apparently it's good for cleansing your insides.

Foscar, that's a tricky one but as others have said, if you're pregnant you won't be able/ want to go and if you're not then you won't want 3 months off ttc. As you have said there will be other opportunities then I think I would decline this time.

silverine · 25/06/2014 23:15

Hi ladies,
To those of you I know from the June bus (but don't jump between stops and haven't heard yet), just wanted to share I got a BFP - still very faint, so quite anxious it might disappear again! Shock
If you're interested, I posted my stats including temp charts (I'm thinking you, kitty Wink) on the June bus.
Best of luck to all of you! x

notoasthere · 26/06/2014 05:20

congrats silverine!

foscar are you not tempted to test yet?

7dpo and feeling v tired...the 4.20am wake up by ds might have something to do with that though. Thankfully today is our 'lazy' day so won't be venturing far

KittyVonCatsington · 26/06/2014 06:11

1moretime -my temps are always above the coverline still, during AF. They drop when AF is finished, usually around CD6. Just keep an eye on them.

KittyVonCatsington · 26/06/2014 06:29

silverine Congratulations! Well deserved after all you have been through after all this time. Hope the line gets stronger Thanks

KittyVonCatsington · 26/06/2014 06:36

Rainbow Managed to succeed this morning by setting the alarm half an hour early and just 'jumping' DH with a little 'treat'. DH is very good when being told to DTD for baby making now! After all these months, he is just as eager to hit the jackpot as me Grin In the earlier months of trying, he wasn't quite so receptive to on-demand, so to speak. Good luck getting in your extra chance!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 26/06/2014 06:37

Hi ladies...
Had my erpc yesterday so I guess I'm back. No idea if and when AF will show but DH and I are ready to try again so the shagging will commence in 2 weeks. Nurse said to wait 2-4!! Can't wait that long to try again so as soon as any bleeding stops will be off!

Congrats silverline! Here's to a healthy and happy (and sticky) pregnancy!

Haven't read too far back but will do over the course of the day Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad TTC #1, Cycle 10 (1after 2nd mc) BFP due ??

Choccywoccydodah · 26/06/2014 06:42

Congrats silverine. I don't think I remember you from previous busses (I hopped off a couple of busses ago) so not sure your background, but you've had a shitty time recently I read. Enjoy your bfp day Grin

So, pain in right side here, ov def here I guess.

So, ds' first day at preschool and he's woke a whole hour early! He's going to be knackered later.
So while he's there, I know exactly what me a dh will be doing Wink Then decorating one of our guest rooms, oh the joy!
Have fun all x

Choccywoccydodah · 26/06/2014 06:43

OMG English so so so sorry!! What happened? If you don't want to talk, totally understand. Absolutely gutted for you Hmm xxx

EnglishGirlsReturned · 26/06/2014 06:50

Hi Choccy! Of course I don't mind saying. I've shared EVERY other aspect if this shitty journey!

Got pg late April - dodgy discharge for about 10 days. Early scan at 6weeks (by my dates) empty sac measuring 4-5. Told not to worry too much, dates could be wrong etc.
Another scan 3 weeks later... Bigger sac but empty. Another week long wait for protocol to reveal things hadn't progressed at all. Week long wait for erpc due to DH booking surprise birthday weekend away (turned the big 30 on Tuesday).
All in all a shit couple of months. And here I am. None the wiser as to wether I have any issues - good old nhs 3 mc guidelines.

Sorry to see your still here too - any news on what's happening with you?? Xx

cinnamongreyhound · 26/06/2014 07:16

Sorry to hear your story EnglishGirlReturned. Really hope this cycle the one for you!

Congrats silverine!!

Enjoy your day ChoccyWoccyDodah! I love painting but dh doesn't ever want to :(

spinningirl10 · 26/06/2014 07:35

MorningGrin

English, sorry to see you here but lovely to have you back iykwim. Really hope you get your sticky bfp soon.

Kitty, my dp was the same at first and had performance issues on demand but he's got over that now and is always keenWinkGrin

I'm lookin into reflexology, got to be worth a go!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/06/2014 07:45

Blueberry and spinning restricted diet just sucks really. It's vegetables and fruit, basically. A lot of fruit isn't acidic by the time it reaches you're stomach it's alkaline. I would mind as I love salad, but I can't have to married, onion or pepper, so we are talking leaves :-(( apparently it's not going to go away it's just something else to be managed, story of my life Wink

English I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you. I really hoped it would. Fx your body returns to normal hormone levels soon.
