September is a month of new beginnings, maybe we'll have some new beginnings of our own. Hop on board the September Bus and let's see where it takes us.

I'm thinking next weekend is the time for me to try my first POAS. I think I could easily turn into a POAS junkie! LOl

Just taking me off the grads list, afraid my blood results weren't good. I know this is a lucky bus though. Go prove me right.

Oh Muser, sorry to hear that. Go have a nice hot bath with some chocolate and wine and pamper yourself a bit. It might not make you feel better about things but it's still nice.

PurpleHeffalump · 13/12/2009 20:20

So sorry Muser

I've convinced myself that it's not going to happen this month. Went out for staff Christmas Do on Friday - would have been a few days past ovulation. Had a few drinks, then a few more...
Told myself that even if I have conceived then it wouldn't have implanted so could drink. But feel bad now. Also because it made my cold/flu so much worse.

AF is due 22nd Dec which is a Tuesday so will probably give in the weekend before with no work to distract me. I also have a pack of ebay cheapies (minus one as I 'had a go' as soon as they arrived - even though there was absolulely no chance of me being pregnant - just wanted a practice )

nickymorris · 13/12/2009 20:31

Hmph - should be dtd tonight but DH has announced he has man-flu. Think I'm going to have to do some serious pampering/bath running/hot lemon making....

nymphadora · 13/12/2009 21:25

Aw muser am so sorry

Cazzr · 13/12/2009 22:06

NickyMorris, I had a cold around ovulation time but still dtd (cos i'm desperate) and it actually made me feel better, felt much less blocked up, you could tell your DH it will make him feel better! Ha ha. Failing that just say he only has to lie there. LOL

PurpleHeffalump: ditto with the trying one out when they first arrived.

Didn't have much EWCM this month which is odd so don't know if we bd at the 'right' time but here's hoping for a nice xmas prezzie

legallyblond · 14/12/2009 11:41

Hey lovely ladies

Just wondered if I can join...?

DH and I had decided to officially start TTC next month, in Jan, but... that seemed to fly out of the window this weekend and ended up, ahem, bd on days 13 and 15 of my cycle (I think I ovulated this month on day 11/12). Probably not any chance of pg, but hey, I guess I am on boad the bus!

Thankfully, as I was planning to TTC from Jan anyway, I have been taking folic acid for a few weeks and am up to date on smear test etc.

Stats are:

TTC#1, cycle 1, ucl 28, cd 16

x x

Elsa123 · 14/12/2009 14:44

Afternoon! I don't mean to symptom spot, but I've totally gone off sex, I cannot bear to think of my boobs being touched and I had some very light pink spotting (sorry if TMI) last night, so I am wondering. I'm not normally like this on this day in the cycle, but I'm wondering if the cycle is just pratting around. I WILL wait to POAS until Mon/Tues if no AF!! I WILL NOT WASTE MONEY EARLY!!! Repeats to self like a mantra...

NancyDrewRocks · 14/12/2009 15:18

Hi all

Elsa heffalump kawaiiko and anyone else struggling with the two week wait but restrained enough not to have mentioned it just want to say I feel your pain!

I ovulate late so no where near testing but still counting down the days!

Anyway quick straw pole - how many dpo do you manage to stay away from the tests?!

muser sorry to hear your news: that is rubbish.

legallyblond welcome

sparechange · 14/12/2009 15:32

Hello ladies
How are you all?
Welcome to the newbies

By my reckoning, today is 10dpo and I'm getting itchy testing fingers

I think I might have to do a secret test tonight, as I've been weeing like a racehorse today and have convinced myself it is a symptom...

Anyone else testing soon?

legallyblond · 14/12/2009 16:03

Thanks for the welcomes! I didn't expect to be on a bus until next month, but hey ho!

I am DETERMINED (at my mother's advice actually) not to test, ever, until I am a week late with af..... that should save me some of the emotional rollercoaster and I will just not drink/alter my diet as if I am pg, just in case - even if it does mean I am not drinking alcohol over xmas when I may not even be pg.. sigh!

Just worked out I may be on this bus for a while... my cycles are always always 28 days, so, I think (using the MN ovulation/due date tables) that if I am/get pg this cycle, I am due on 4th Sept, and if its next cycle, I am due on 30th Sept... so 2 Sept due dates! no sure how that works... surely that gives only 26 days in a cycle... hmmm?!

Also, a rather TMI question I am afraid... I judge (or think i judge as it is so textbook) ovulation by egg white CM. Is the first day the egg white consistency appears ovulation day? If it is, it seems my luteal phase is quite short... I seem to ov on day 11, 12 or 13... I may be wrong... this is all hazy stuff from a level human biology! I am now a lawyer so all scientific knowledge is the distant past!

nymphadora · 14/12/2009 17:53

just been to GP to check BP and DH came as we had questions about endo.

We came away with blood form for 21 day test and DH has a sperm test.H e said we may as well check everytghing out now!

Cazzr · 14/12/2009 19:32

NancyDrewRocks: Was planning to wait till 10dpo but think i'll start at 8 so probably thurs morning as think I have my cd's a bit off.. They are cheapie ebay ones tho so not worried about wasting too much dosh.

Been thinking, was soo much easier with DS, didn't realise I was late till a week over AF due date (never used to pay attention to my cycles) and I swear it was a whole lot less stress, only needed one test and it was just to confirm what I kinda knew (had been having 'car sickness' and weeing lots and finally put 2 and 2 together..) As this one is planned I'm doing my head in!

kawaiiko · 14/12/2009 21:06

Hello legallyblond, nice to know I'm not the only one from the 'waiting to ttc' thread to lack...um...patience!

sparechange, we're on the same cycle day...are you really testing tonight?? I've already used two (bit of bad maths) and found it so disappointing to see the bfn. Had kind of made up my mind to wait till Friday (when af is due) but I'm not known for my willpower

NancyDrewRocks · 15/12/2009 15:06

cazr yes very much less stressful when you are not actively TTC-ing. Took over a year + treatment to conceive DD and I used to get really stressed. Then DS1 was a happy suprise so didn't find out for months. DS2 took a few months but because we lost him I am desperate to conceive again. This is definitely the worst for me stress wise.

I am going to try and hold off to 10dpo too but can't see me lasting!

lucybrad · 15/12/2009 15:16

wanttodomyjob · 15/12/2009 15:59

Hi Ladies!

Can I hop on this bus please?!

DP and I have just started TTC no 2 (last night in fact.

DS1 is now 3 and was unplanned so this is a big deal for us, feels really 'grown up' and scary, this trying malarkey lol!

Am feeling and apprehensive by turns, and at 36 am not sure how 'easy' it will be this time, i need some fellow TTCers!

beckylou85 · 15/12/2009 17:19

Hi all, I'm a day late and I just started spotting, its not the usual redish colour its pink. Not sure if its my normal period or not, as usually its red. It started when I had to go to the loo and had felt a little constipated (sorry for the detail but just wanted to know if that could be what has caused my spotting). My sister and mum are obsessed with me testing today but I daren't incase I get a negative and i'll be so disappointed.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Good luck to all ttc xxx

Cazzr · 15/12/2009 19:34

BeckyLou: test test test! My friend had spotting early pregnancy because of implantation and she now has a 6week old.

wanttodomyjob, my DS is 3.5 and was a pleasant surprise too and I agree, we got a bit freaked out about it all with the very grown up 'trying' that we didn't really do the job as such in cycle 1 so pretty much see this as cycle 1.
This time, I didn't tell DH when I was ovulating till afterwards as it saved his nerves. I'm broody as hell, and have been for a couple of years now so I can handle the nerves for now.

As for symptom spotting, am i right in thinking metallic taste in the mouth is a possible symptom? I have at the mo but not sure if it's because I have a bad cough or something more exciting...
