Let's get Pregvember off with a bang! November BFP bus (thread 2)

[Aprilray]

Time for some fireworks!!

Oh dear. Af has arrived, so I am out. Not surprised but delighted at lp. Twelve days! High five! :)

Luckily I get to stay on the bus - woohoo!

So I new stats...

MrsGingerbread, 32, ttc #1, cycle 9 (mcs 3 and 4), BFP due 29th Nov

Ladies - dh's parents are due to stay with us on what looks like the two most important days this cycle. We always have to pay for a hotel when we visit them. What do I do, hope that doesn't prevent us dtd ( I think it might :/ ) or push for them to stay locally under some kind of 'we are sorting out the loft / we are decorating' pretense?

Oh no, sorry MrsG but high 5 on your 12 day LP!

Re: family. It would def spoil your chances of dtd! Encouraging them to stay at a hotel is a good idea but not sure what excuse you could give?! What does DP say?

Ps also good tht you get 2 chances on the Pregvember bus!

MrsG I'm sorry af has arrived, but hooray for longer lp. I think half the battle is trying to find the right balance for our bodies, whatever that may be. I'd go with quick doggies on both days!

Awww mrsG no good about AF but high five for the longer lp. I may up my b6 this month after your success.

And blue sorry for af for u too.

I had the best night last night being a pumpkin. There was uv lights in the bar so my orange wig literally glowed wherever I stood. Gotta be some sort if good sign haha. Anyway it distracted me from impending AF. No further blood but I have a feeling it's coming unfortunately. Onwards and upwards. Won't know when next BFP date is until it arrives full force.

Blue sorry af arrived but could next fertile time be on holiday? That would be fab

MrsG, sorry af arrived but yay for longer lp.

Victoria, sod what the opks say, dtd

We've got our first fertility appointment tomorrow morning! Actually feeling quite anxious about it now. I was just reading the letter and it's in the ante natal department!! You would think they would keep the 2 separate wouldn't you, that must be very difficult for some ladies to sit in a waiting room with pregnant ladies.

Sorry to hear AF arrived MrsG. Re: DH's parents' visit, if I don't get upduffed this cycle, I'm going to be in a similar predicament for the next two cycles (although the issue will be my parents and not DH's). Sadly, in my case booking into a hotel isn't really an option for various reasons. Am hoping that we can just dtd really early in the morning whilst my parents are still asleep (although the reality is that my Dad in particular only needs about 5 hours of sleep a night, so going to bed at 2am and waking at 7 is par for the course for him, so the chances of us getting up before my parents is slim...)

Part of me feels that I am now an adult and if they hear us, it's hardly the end of the world. They'd never mention it, and they know we're ttc (I had to tell them after my ectopic because DH wanted to confide in his family). I am quite worried that when it comes to it though, DH might be utterly turned off. If all else fails, we might end up having to be super clinical and get DH to ejaculate into some soft cups, although I'm really hoping to avoid this if we can.

It's hardly ideal though. If a hotel is an option for DP's parents, then I would definitely go down that route. Alternatively, is there any time you can move their visit?

Any chance not time!

Good luck for your fertility appointment tomorrow Spinning. Hope it goes well.

MrsG if it doesn't cause an argument between you and dh you could ask them to stay in a hotel. Is there really no chance you'd dtd with them there?

Hmmm, hotels are already crazy money. We'll have to get over it and dtd then. :)

Hi there, I hope it's ok for me to join this thread. I'm finding the whole ttc thing pretty tough at the moment. We've been trying for over a year and already have a DS. Would love to be able to think about this without crying!!

Good luck MrsG. Let me know if you have any in-law survival hints and tips as I will no doubt need them! Amusingly though, there was much talk on this thread a while ago about how we all ought to start behaving like teenagers when ttc as they always seem to find it so easy to get upduffed, so perhaps having to engage in teenage style Dtd with parents in close proximity will in fact increase our chances of conception!

Can't believe that beyond this cycle, it will be January before DH and I have a parent-free zone to ttc.

Mrs G not ideal, but just do it first thing in morning I would say as probably most would still be asleep/getting up and likely to not be interrupted? Think we would do the same but I know what you mean it is awkward with other people in the house

Welcome Travelling. Sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment. Don't be afraid to vent/ discuss your feelings on this thread, as we're all here to help each other.

Missed post - welcome to the mad bus Lemony! Sorry things not going well at the moment :( we are all here to support each other though, these buses are brilliant, I have only been on a mn a couple of months but already feel like I am part of the pack and there is so much support and kind words for everyone

Haha cariad!! That brings back memories of being sneaky when a teenager how did we not feel the shame?! Clearly need to release our inhibitions

Thank you! I think if I started venting, I would never stop. Pleased to have found this place (thank you MrsG). Bloody hate this whole business and find it really hard to get support irl.

Stats update..sorry for af Mrs G and Blue but great you get another go on this bus!

cariad just imagining the parents catching you and DH sneakily filling soft cups worse than walking in on you dtd!

Welcome travelling and sorry you've been finding it tough. There are lots of people on here who have been trying a while too so hopefully you can find some comfort on the bus.

Travelling Ive been trying 20 cycles now I know the feeling its not easy but the girls in here are lovely!

vicky sorry opks arent behaving just dtd eod and you should be ok

Spose I should jump off this bus onto December but even thinking about being into month 20 and December is making be feel extra depressed. All im doing at the moment is fighting depression and trying to distract myself

Good luck tomorrow spinning I was pre warned that they do an internal ultrasound at your first appointment so I'm pre warning u! :-) its to check your womb shape and ovaries.

Welcome to the group travelling, I'm in the more than a year club. In fact I've been ttc 2 years in Dec. Its hard I know but we must stay strong x
