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 stuffedmk TTC#2, Cycle 3, UCL? 26-34, CD1

Good luck to all on the bus. Maybe this month xx

decafgirl · 03/01/2010 20:14

Thanks for your messages ladies, couldn't agree more with the 'not putting life on hold' advice so will defo ttc as planned. Woohoo!

It wasn't easy for us to conceive our DS (as you can see from my UCL!) so I don't want to squander any chances if you see what I mean?

Temps are back down to usual pre ov temps now AF has gone so will keep you posted xx

jennimoo · 03/01/2010 20:21

Hello, can I hop on? I'm coming from the waiting to TTC thread with evilgiraffe.
It's first cycle and no LOs yet so complete TTC newbie!
My stats are:
jennimoo TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL 34 CD 3
hope I've got this right!

KelaH · 03/01/2010 20:43

Hi all. Feel a bit odd posting this, although I suppose technically I am now TTC for the first time ever!! (Well I will be as soon as my period finishes!!)

I am a complete newbie at all this though, as DD was... well let's say a surprise , so we haven't actively tried before. I am finding it very hard to not assume that because I got pg (a bit too!) easily last time, it will happen quickly this time too, so I think I will be quite disappointed if I don't get pg straight away - I think that is partly why I am posting, almost as a safety net, to set up a bit of support network for if/when I don't (and let's face it, what are the chances of getting pg on the first attempt?!)

So anyway, I have no idea what all the TTC acronyms mean, and it doesn't matter anyway, coz I have always been rubbish at tracking my periods (which is partly why it took me 10 weeks to cotton on last time ). But my period started yesterday, so assuming my cycle is fairly 'normal' (I don't really know!), I would be due in Oct, hence why I am posting here.

Sorry for the massive post - I haven't really talked about TTCing, so had a lot to get out!

digitalgirl · 03/01/2010 21:04

yumyum my cycles were quite long before having ds. Since he was born my cycles have been erratic which I put down to breastfeeding. Am thinking my short cycle was something to do with giving up breastfeeding and the mc I had in November. Oh, and the fact that I'm now officially thinking about ttc rather than 'not taking precautions' probably has something to do with it.

poppy so sorry to hear of your mc, hopefully you'll be pg again soon.

Welcome newbies. I joined mn when ttc my first who is now 16 months. Felt like such a big girl moving onto one of the ante-natal threads!

This day has been fairly painful, a really heavy AF. Hoping this means my body has finally recovered from the mc as the last af was hardly there at all.

Bessie123 · 04/01/2010 09:09

digitalgirl and poppy - sorry to hear about your mcs. I have heard that it is easier to conceive in the first few months after a mc (although unfortunately that has not been my experience).

decafgirl - I think you can have operations when you are pregnant (I know someone who had an appendectomy when she was 20-something weeks). I don't know that it is ideal etc...

kkas · 04/01/2010 09:59

Ok, I've had a look back, and I did track my periods for a few months at the start of the year, so I think my UCL is about 26 days. But not sure what means in terms of potential fertile dates/due dates - can anyone help?

Original poster

stuffedmk · 04/01/2010 12:42

KelaH Potential fertile dates can vary from person to person and from cycle to cycle unfortunately. Roughly 2 weeks before you are due on is a good guide (hence 2 week wait). This is not definate though. You can track your temps throughout the cycle but I am no expert on this lol.
You can also keep an eye out for EWCM (egg white cervical mucous) which occurs around ovulation.
Best bet though is probably to just have sex on a regular basis lol

OP posts:

Original poster

stuffedmk · 04/01/2010 12:53

I think I may have a shorter cycle this time than the last as I noticed ewcm on days 11-13 so I am probably looking at very end of sept rather than oct if I am lucky this time if not I will have to shift to the back of the bus lol.
Managed to get some shagging in on day 12 and 13 so fingers crossed.
Is ewcm produced just before ovualation or at the same time? I am unlikely to get any more BDing in next couple of days.
Anyway I have a better chance than last cycle. Last time I only really began to get hopeful at the end of my cycle because AF took so very long to turn up. I knew that it was unlikely yet still got my hopes up so I dunno what I am gonna be like this time lol!!

OP posts:

KelaH · 04/01/2010 13:32

Thanks stuffed - I think DH will like that advice! Fingers crossed for you.

By the way, don't know if anyone is interested, but Superdrug have an offer on vitamins etc - BOGOF, so I got 8 months supply of folic acid for about £2.50!

QueenFee · 04/01/2010 19:35

Can I jump on the bus?
I have no idea of my cycle length as I have been pregnant / breastfeeding / IUD for the last 6 years However DC3 is now 6 months and we have decided to TTC. It may be a while though as still breastfeeding and no sign of AF yet, still I can be optomistic!

QueenFee TTC#4Cycle1?UCL28-30?CD?

Sorry for the very helpful stats there! [

digitalgirl · 04/01/2010 19:43

stuffedmk ewcm is before ovulation. The day you dry up is probably the day you ovulate or the day after. It's what the sperm needs to survive in your body for more than a couple of hours. And having sex before you ovulate is more important than after as you want the sperm hanging around waiting for the egg. Some eggs only last 12 hours, can be impossible to time sex with actual ovulation - which is why we produce ewcm.

Based on last cycle and my longest cycle I have a potential fertile window about 4 weeks long. It's going to be a fun January .

bunny74 · 04/01/2010 20:08

ah thanks for stopping - can i join the 10/10 bus??
we've been TTC for 10 months, AF showed up today although am still trying to persuade myself its implantation!!

nancydrewrocks · 05/01/2010 06:45

Hi Ladies I am joining (although hedging bets as also right at back of September bus!)

I tested + last cycle but started bleading 5 days late - I guess that was a chemical so now moving onwards and upwards and trying again. Not sure whether to count my cycle from day 1st day of missed period or first day of bleading. If no implant would subsequent ovulation be affected? Anyway will see how I go....

Hi everyone! Just hopped off the September bus and hopping on to this one. I have a feeling I didn't ovulate last month due to stress - I am always very aware of when I ovulate. Now that I've de-stressed over Christmas I intend to be extremely healthy this month and hopefully things will go back to normal.

Nancydrewrocks - that must be so disappointing after the excitement of a + test I think you always count from first day of bleeding, even if it's late.
