~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*July Double Decker Bus~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

[SpookyTeaFan]

Seeing as we're a bit cramped, have no room for shopping and have a fair way to go yet i've hired us a double decker, hope no-one minds. Good news is there is a hot chocolate machine and a luxury loo for lots of POAS!

My cycles have been a bit messed up over the past year, getting worse over the last 6 months.
I started getting intermenstual bleeding most months (have seen the doc about it and there is no problem as such).
My cycles were a fairly reliable 26/27 days but it seems to depend how much I bleed in between periods now. I had a month a while ago where I had relatively heavy (not that much but enough to send me to the drs)bleeding and this seemed to send my cycle way out and it was about 34 days.
However my previous cycle I started taking evening primrose to try and help the hormones regulate and didn't get any bleeding did end up getting a 25 day cycle though.
This cycle I didn't have a bleed either but am sitting at 28 days. Have had loads of cramps (on and off) which seems to be reducing now, This is the first month that there is a chance that it isn't just AF taking her time, but really I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up in a week

Make that day 1
looks like AF has decided to visit after all.
Damn that was a short bus ride lol!!

updated stats taking me and stuffed off. AF arrived just now!!! and never before have i been so relieved. I would rather AF than the uncertainty if the last few days!!! yay here comes the august bus!!!! byeee

I know what you mean, it's the uncertainty that gets you.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that August will be lucky for us.

I really hope I don't keep getting PMT like this month, that was not nice!

LOL actually heres hoping I don't get PMT again for a long time to come

stuffed are you sure it's not an ovulation bleed mid cycle?

could be didn't really get into what it was with the doc just made sure it nothin bad IYKWIM.
Never had it before about a year ago. Am 30 and have been off pill for about 3 years.
I seem to have lessened it/stopped it by taking EPO and not being very active when it is likely to come. The worst month I happened to go running and was very active generally.

Lucybrad, I know the feeling, it's a relief isn't it? Thought I would be disappointed but just glad the waiting is over

Lucybrad, I know the feeling, it's a relief isn't it? Thought I would be disappointed but just glad the waiting is over

stuffed thought you meant "active", not just running n stuff, meaning that if you avoided your DP around that time then if it was an ovulation bleed, then, well, you know .

lol not avoiding DH at the time.
Sex doesn't seem to bring it on at all luckily. However it doesn't make me feel hugely 'up for it' when there is a lot.

OK well that's less likely to be cervical erosion then, which I sometimes get after all that stuff. That's nothing to worry about. Sooooo seems like something I'd REALLY like to work out as if it's hormone related that could impair your ability to conceive of course.

Do you track your other fertile signs? Have you considered going back to docs to find out what it was?

Don't track anything.
This month was fairly doubtful anyway as it was more possible happy accident than trying lol.
DH has been reluctant to try for number 2 for years but has now agreed so.
When I went to the doctor I wasn't expecting to have the option to try so didn't really worry. Although she did give me some hormone related reason as the probable cause, I was too worried about it being something terrible to really listen. I didn't bother to go back once I had found that all the test results were fine.
However I did have a chat with her because I bit down about the whole DH not wanting another thing. Apart from saying that there are lots of reasons to try for another sooner rather than later if we were going to she didn't seem concerned about the bleeding affecting anything.
Can't say it hasn't crossed my mind that it I might not work right down there anymore but will prob TTC for a couple of months before going back I think

I try not to think about the possibility of fertility problems TBH. It would be so upsetting to finally get DH to agree after 8 years and then find it was too late

stuffed I am divorced from the father of my child (5). I've gone through the difficulties of being with someone who didn't want a child, and if you are happy in the relationship otherwise (I wasn't) then it's really hard to get a resolution.

If I may make a suggestion, if I were you and your DH has agreed to it, then I would be doing all I could to make sure I knew what was going on inside, so that assuming you keep going with TTC you have the best chance of catching before he changes his mind!

I don't mean to be patronising but do you know about temping, tracking your other fertile signs, etc?

I was incredibly lucky as my DH and I managed to catch first cycle after I had my mirena removed. However, I also was tracking my cycle so we knew exactly when we needed to DTD which gave us a much better chance of it working.

Sadly it isn't always that easy of course, but it may make you feel more in control of the situation. It depends on what you like. Personally, I like to know everything that's going on with my body - some people don't.

I will be testing on this Sat 21/11. Is anyone else still on the bus or, am I left alone with the choc drinks machine and posh loo all too myself?

its horrible being on the back of the bus. I think that maybe everyone has given up or left for the august bus. Good luck with the testing schmoo

carrots I haven't really looked into temping etc, I suppose I never thought I would need to. With DS I came off the pill and that was that, but then that was 9 years ago.
I know what you mean with the changing his mind comment though, he has agreed before a couple of times but he changed his mind overnight both times. I will probably make a docs appt soonish to ask the important quetions, although burying my head in the sand seems much more appealing right now
I did bring up my concerns with DH last night but he just reminded me that the doc told me it was a common thing etc.. I suppose we will see!

Droid arrived last night.

Saturday stats. I've taken myself off as I think I would actually be 1 Aug DD if I caught on (some calculators say 31 July, that's why I originally stayed on). Think AF is on her way anyway....

kkas stay on the July Bus. If I am pg this cycle going by my LMP my EDD would be 21/07/10 but, going by when I got my Peak on my CBFM I would be due 04/08/10. I am staying on the July Double Decker!
polly i am so sorry that she caught you. Hope you have better luck on the August bus hun.

I didn't test this morning as, decided I will wait until Wed when I think she who must not be named is due. To be honest with you I am scared to see a BFP just as I am scared to see a BFN and witch appear! Think i will post a question in a new thread as to the excess amount of milky/lotiony cm I had yesterday along with a couple of faint but bright red blood spots when I wiped yesterday!

shmoo I can understand that, the negatives were destroying me and this was the first month I actually waited to test. And got my BFP - the line came up before I'd finished my pee. I'm pretty sure the line would've come up a couple of days earlier (at least) - but this way I was pretty confident it was going to be a good one rather than the wishing & hoping then feeling like shit when the BFN pops up.
