OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

No! I didn't dare drink caffeine after reading this earlier!!!

Just wrote a load of twonk instead. I know I did quite well on the other two bits so ... meh! Was too busy Googling "bleeding after smear test" to focus, tbh

bunnygirl80 · 17/01/2010 04:22

I've just altered my stats-I gained a cd and I've only been on the bus 5mins! I think it's down to the time difference here - when I put cd1 it was Saturday for me but still Friday for most of you!

Congrats on being on a list armi and well done for finishing your essay BUnderthe Bonnet. I'm glad I finished my masters just before starting to TTC otherwise all of my essays would probably have been filled with info I picked up on MN as I spend far too much time on here.

Eadwacer · 17/01/2010 11:40

Ooooo I'm on a list! Jeebus, MN does make me feel frighteningly like a schoolgirl.

I saw a heavily pregnant pal last night and felt the baby's foot. I then got discreetly tearful. People, if ONLY you knew how brutally cycnical and un-babyish I am by nature. What a thing it is to be hijacked by motherliness.

(blows nose, reads copy of Observer Woman)

VodkaGirl77 · 17/01/2010 15:02

Thanks for adding me to the list. Well this time next week I'll hopefully know one way or another - seems like such a long time away though.

Dp and I were discussing baby names this morning - have a feeling that we're never going to agree...

nancydrewrocks · 17/01/2010 16:44

Welcome to the new arrivals - standing room only I reckon.

Ilovegregory I don't give anything up on the 2ww. I don't smoke or drink tea/coffee anyway and giving up wine just adds to the almost unbearable pressure.

Totally know where you are coming from with the weight/eating. I had terrible morning sickness with DD and had to eat chips non stop just to get through the day, although I was so sick I actually lost weight. Sickness wasn't as bad with my boys but was an issue as I rarely actually vomitted so I put on quickly.

I am off to stay with my sis for a few weeks and she eats really well so as long as I stick with her meals I should drop a few pounds, which will make me feel more healthy.

Going to try and wait 10 days until I test - anoyone testing before then?

ILoveGregoryHouse · 17/01/2010 18:25

Nancy, do you mean 10 days from now? How could you hold out that long. Have promised myself not to test early and even maybe 4 days after AF due - but 10 days? Jeez!

Eadwacer, horrid, isn't it? Like being hit by a train, lol!

Anyway, ladies, please look at this thread I started, am hoping to get some support from mners.

ILoveGregoryHouse · 17/01/2010 18:26

livviloo · 17/01/2010 19:07

Hi I'm new to MN and have just had mirena out on the 7th Jan so can I join in?
TTC 3 cycle 1 UCL before mirena about 28 and now CD??
I am planning to test in 7 days in case coil was removed when I was ovulating (hopeful I know) and then a week later.
How long did AF take to come back for people after having mirena out?

Lorelai · 17/01/2010 19:24

Hi livvilo - welcome! I'm sure we can squeeze you in, as long as you don't mind getting cozy Haven't had a mirena myself so can't help with that one I'm afraid.

Nancy - I am going to try and wait until a week after AF due as well, mainly coz I don't want to waste money - by then, if I haven't had AF then there won't be much doubt about the result. Of course, it is all very well saying that now....

Have updated the list to add livviloo

Sorry ladies, can someone explain the UCL and CD accronyms to me??

Eadwacer · 17/01/2010 20:40

Hi Cokie - I've just worked it out myself!

By way of example - I'm trying to conceive (TTC) my first. My usual cycle length (UCL) is 24, and I'm on the 5th day (CD5) of my cycle. This is the first cycle that I've tried to conceive.

So I'm TTC#1, Cycle 1, UCL24, CD 5

hope this helps and good luck!

nymphadora · 17/01/2010 20:43

UCL- Usual cycle length
CD- current day

is what number child!

Cokie · 17/01/2010 20:44

nice one, that does help! So can I join the bus too with my vitals??
TTC#2, cycle 2, UCL 28, CD15. Fingers crossed for all!

What a big bus!

decafgirl · 17/01/2010 22:03

Hello ladies, welcome to all our newbies!

Am now 1 day post ov (woohoo!) after finally getting that temperature rise on friday. Am now obviously on the look out for symptoms - am definately sporting a pg shaped tummy from Christmas as must be at least 24 hrs gone by now!

Will know on the 28th either way because if AF is on her way my temp will drop. Until then, please join me with the obsessing!

This is going to be the longest 2 weeks....

Eadwacer · 17/01/2010 22:33

decafgirl - 24 hours bump - thank God, that made me laugh after an absurdly bleak episode of Wallander!

decafgirl · 17/01/2010 22:41

Oh God, I'm just fat aren't I?!

Or....it's triplets, yes that'll be it, triplets.........

Eadwacer · 17/01/2010 22:44

Course it's triplets woman. God, don't you read the advice on this site? Sheesh!

And the pain immediately behind my belly-button has nothing to do with the frantic consumption of three bowls of All-Bran, and everything to do with my offspring's luxuriant mane of imaginary hair. OBVIOUSLY.

Oo where's my medication...

decafgirl · 17/01/2010 22:49

Fantastic! Good luck with the implantation pain xxxx

LadyBee · 17/01/2010 22:54

gosh what a lot of people on this bus! I've been sick as dawg the last 4 days , I think I poisoned myself somehow, haven't got a clue but something really didn't agree with me. Thank goodness DS didn't get whatever it was, would not have been able to cope with myself and him at the same time.

Anyway, so no SWI for us yet but I think I'm practically better and have only just spotted a good amount of EWCM (sorry, but this thread is MADE for tmi) so hopefully if we can get going tonight I won't feel too hopeless about this cycle. That said, I should probably start making eyes at DH

pointsmakeprizes · 17/01/2010 23:04

Hi Ladies, a late addition to the bus here, put myself in the list

Bessie123 · 18/01/2010 09:02

Yay, I got a BFP at the weekend I'm hoping this one sticks.

smallblackflowers · 18/01/2010 09:08

Good morning!
I'm feeling very excited this morning as Fertility Friend has told me that I have ovulated....had resigned myself to a very very very long cycle as DD has been very keen on her milk this month, but in the hormone tug of war that must be going on in my body it looks like oestrogen won. Yay.

Anyway,according to FF it seems that I am 6 days past ov, and I've got a high score for intercourse timing (ever the overachiever ). No idea when I'll test, but will be secretly symptom spotting like mad and will share any possible twinges, nausea, fatness etc

Anyway better attend to DD before she removes absolutely everything from the coffee table (after shouting 'yellow' at every item)
