****October bus ready to depart****

[stuffedmk]

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

BUnderTheBonnet - I think they advise SWI every other day so that the male participant can build up his semen again. However, Zita West says in "Getting Pregnant" that this isn't necessary and you should do it as often as poss. So grab your opportunities where you can, I'd say!

Twice in one day is very impressive! Sadly cannot remember the last time we did that....certainly pre-dd who is now 5!

CD4 for me today, so just a couple more days before we can go for it this month

Thanks heading4home. That'll be it for a couple of days though... If I've conceived this month, that might be it for the forseeable future .

OK, so DTD stands for Did The Deed, but what does BD stand for??? And BFP/BFN? I know what they mean, but not the actual words the letters stand for.

BUnderTheBonnet, mine increases the day before my period starts and then while i'm on a period. fat lot of good that does!

BD is baby dancing (sex)
BFP/BFN is Big Fat Positive/Big Fat Negitive

but what is SWI???

SWI = Shagging with intent

I'm so bored of this period already. TMI but why have I still got red blood on day 6? Looks like it's going to be a long cycle.

I still stand by my calculation that anyone who conceives today will have a 1st October due date. I conceived DS on 31st December and his due date was 23rd September.

Here digitalgirl, I think you need this - [bicuit]

In terms of due date, I think that it is more to do with counting from last period - when I use the ovulation calculator on here, I get a range of fertile dates, but one due date, which is the same whatever cycle length I put it. And of course, it is difficult to know exactly what day you conceive - ie the day you 'DTD' might not be the same day as sperm meets egg, so to speak!

Ooops - was meaning to hand you a biscuit, but misspelled it! Have some choccies instead

Withdrawal bleed ended on Wednesday, so SWI (not seen that one before!) started last night! Shouldn't be a problem getting through the next few weeks but I can see myself getting quite anxious towards the end of the month, especially as I have no idea when my first real AF in years will turn up (assuming I don't catch first time!).

I have decided to test on the 25th seeing as that was the date I stopped taking the pill as I have as yet no AF as I NEED to know if I am pregnant, can't do the wait as see thing! Feels like such a long way away.
Sending good implantation vibes down the bus

Morning all, just updating the stats for today.

Ok, this is ridiculous! Less than 12 hours since I could conceivably have conceived and I am already symptom spotting - Gah!!

lorelai your not the only one , had spot bleading last night, but by my calculations i'm ovulating some time this week, so too early for implantation bleeding

Oh yes, forgot to mention that I don't even think I will be ovulating till early next week, (and AF only finished on Wednesday!), so highly unlikely I am pg

lol

I have sore boobies lol
Can't help getting hopes up!!!

lol i think its safe to say the majority of us are obsessive!

even when me and dh werent trying and using contraception i was symptom spotting and thinking well its not 100% efective so there is always a chance

i'm starting to get really nervous now my gyne appointment is next week, and i dont want to go...well i do and i dont iykwim

Yes, not sure we would be on this thread if we weren't! I dread to think what my best friend will be like when she starts TTC - she is far worse than me

Its funny, coz before I had DD I never dreamed that I would get pg by accident - which really helped with the denial when I did - had loads of symptoms but managed to convince myself they were anything other than pregnancy. Now I am equally as convinced that I will have problems this time - does that mean I will do the same or opposite with any potential symptoms think I will drive myself mad

Ooops, sorry about double post

LOL!

Many, many symtpoms here too. Can't remember if I had them before now...

I'm obsessed with my boobs, cos they were my first obviously pregnant sign, even when I was getting BFNs with my dd. I inspect them on a regular basis

However, I have no pregnancy tests in the house, to stop me doing a ridiculously early test.

My dh is just as bad as me. He raises his eyebrows everytime I go for a wee or anything. Might have to thump him...

Yeah, DH is worse than me - think I might have to give him a biology lesson - told him the other day that I had started taking folic acid in preparation, all he knew about it was that last time I started taking it after I was pg, so thought it meant I was already - had to point out that I had only told him the day before that I had my period - honestly!!

Thanks for the s lorelai.

Lol at obsessing on symptons already.

Am on brown now, so AF is finally on it's way out. Yay.

Asked DH if we should try a bit harder this cycle (ie more sex please). He didn't think so

Mine is finding it quite fun so far although is somewhat optimistic - ie bleed stopped on Wednesday and have BD twice since then, and when I cooked chips last night as I was still hungry after tea he said "well you're probably eating for two", cheeky bugger! As I am hugely unlikely to be preggers already I am evidently just a piggy

well updated stats to include me - as AF has arrived for the weekend.
