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.

This July bus is quiet.
I'm on cd3 and thinking ahead to dtd. Glad ill be able to do something towards getting a bfp now but nervous for dtd. Haven't done it for such a long time after not bein allowed with my pregnancy spotting and then the mc.

Hey Ho.

Good luck with your observation tomorrow. I assume you mean at work?
I am fed up of AF, irritable, bloated,+ Sunday night blues! I'm excited about this July bus, but nervous too about what journey lies ahead as I'm only on cycle 2 and don't know how long this might take. And I have already developed an obsession with secret POAS Blush
Fingers crossed for everyone.

I'm on cd5 and af is on it's way out yeha!
Away again conference this week and then looking forward to baby making when I get back ;)
pom hopefully af clears off soon for you!
Sorry things are tough treacle my hubby is not at all emotional! romantic etc etc I barely got one word of excitement when we decided to start ttc. I often wish for more but it's the way he is I guess..what with being a man and all!! :)
I am sure DTD will be ok, try not to put too much pressure on yourself and take it easy. All easier said than done I am sure!

Morning ladies,
Good luck today Treacle at least it is today rather than later in the week so you can get it out of the way. Like Rainbow said I'm sure DTD will be fine, you could always have a Wine or two to help relax you Smile
AF has left the building here and want to DTD but DH is getting tested this week so can't- boo!

Morning all,

Cd4 here, AF on her way out. Thinking we might try dtd every other day from start to finish, is that too much?

Also a question for ladies in the know, my cycle has now averaged out to 25 days, 29 is the longest. I ov on day 14/15 last cycle. Is this ok? Is my lp too short? Sorry I'm a complete novice, when I read info after a few sentences it turns into blah,blah,blah. I find it much easier to be told in simple terms with the aid of coloured cartoon pictures if poss Grin kidding about pics but truly need simple explanations.

Thanks xx

Hi All! Can I join you?
I am ttc no3, ds1 is 7 and ds2 is 3 1/2 and I have an almost 13 year old dss. It has taken me quite a while to persuade dh to agree to a third (4th for him!) and I actually have no idea what changed his mind! I had my copper coil removed tuesday and I am ovulating yesterday/today. It took 6 months with ds1 and ds2 was kind of a one off whoops we didn't use anything as we were starting to think about a second so it's been 8 year since I was ttc.

The nurse who removed my coil said everything looks healthy so I'm good to go straight away but I've read a couple of things online about people miscarrying if they start too soon after having it removed due to thinner uterus lining.

Excited and terrified at the same time and feeling guilty about disrupting my whole family for something that I want! Also not looking forward to the 'are you trying for a girl' comments! Thank you :)

Cpt I was worried about having a short luteal phase, from the reading I did, as far as I understand it (I'm the same as you with all the info!) as long as your luteal phase is 10 days + then it's fine. I read that vitamin B6 is supposed to help lengthen your LP and stocked up on this during my panic.

Welcome Cinnamon I have a friend who had her coil removed and fell pregnant straight away and is now 7.5 months along Smile

Thanks april , I think sometimes we can know too much. I'm only on to cycle 2 so shouldn't really even be thinking there's a problem yet.

Hi cinnamon I have 2 boys and there will be a big age gap, I'm expecting "so you've decided to give it a go for a girl then". When we told mil dc2 was a boy she said oh never mind!!! Angry god knows what she will say 3rd time round.

Hi all. Welcome to new passengers and sorry to those I know from the June bus. I've not been around for the last few days as I have not had much of an internet connection due to changing our phone and internet contract. I will update the stats list asap.

CD9 here and my clearblue monitor asked for the first test stick today which came back as 'high'. I think that is because of the clomid though. I have also bought and tried a bottle of pink grapefruit juice. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it doesn't taste as revolting as normal grapefruit juice Grin. I am still making my husband take multivitamins each day (along with me) and have bought some high dose evening primrose oil capsules too to try to improve cm. Nothing like a bit of forward planning eh.

cinnamongreyhound My two dc are similar in ages to yours although I have one of each so wont be getting the 'are you trying for a boy/girl?' It'll be more like 'what on earth do you want to go and have another one for?' So you can't win either way. I have got in-laws adamant I should stop at two especially now I have one of each and my own family wondering when I am having the next one.

Afternoon ladies! Welcome to the new passengers. I'll pass round some chips 'n' dip whilst we wait for the bus to set off. Cheesy pineapple anyone?!

How did your observation go today Treacle - at least it's over! I have mine tomorrow Grin

Thanks for the stats grand!! Hope the high is good news though. Popped into M and S earlier to get grapefruit juice and they didn't bloody have any! Are Mumsnetters clearing the shelves Wink

Capn I second what April said, your LP is fine although I know how we worry

I seem to have high bbt temps during AF. Last cycle, thought I was doing something wrong, but it seems I just have high (higher than coverline) temps during AF so won't be able to guess at the end of each cycle if AF is coming or not! Grrrr!

English and Choccy -if you are reading, Hope you're okay Thanks

TheGrandHighWitch · 16/06/2014 18:00

Thanks KittyVonCatsington but I think it is down to the clomid boosting my estrogen levels. My ovulation microscope is showing some slight ferning which didn't happen until later on my last cycle. I have a feeling that my body geared up to ov last cycle but then didn't perhaps. Hopefully the clomid should force me to ov this time (even though the tablets are a year out of date - naughty GrandHighWitch) as this cycle is starting to look similar to my chart when I conceived dc2 so fx for a better result this month. Like you I have had high temps throughout af (have never temped during af before so not noticed it) and it dropped quite dramatically this morning. So basically we spend 3 quarters of the month feeling hot Grin.

Cpt1 from what I've read you preferably want 10+ days after ovulation.

This month is flying by....not long until we all get our BFPs!!! Ok, so I'm going into this with the optimism of a first timer but it would be so great if this was a lucky thread and we all got our baby wishes! Grin
