****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

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

queenfee Gosh three under 18mo would def be harder than average work. Think of all the nappy changes!

BUnder, dont get me started on that one!

i efectivly have 2 uterus's (or would the plural be uteri?) anyway, i was talking to my mum about a week ago, (who is incedently 20 weeks pregnant ) and she said but what if your already pregnant and your last perid was from your 2nd uterus, you could be 3 months pregnant already, cue me saying no dont be silly, that couldnt happen, could it? so i then i go and buy 2 first responce tests and 2 cb digital tests to find out. all negitive btw!!

heading4home can you check your stats, i think your missing a day?

Funny you should mention twins - I saw on another thread that getting pg while bf makes twins 9 times more likely! Haven't told DH yet as don't want to freak him out

addictedtomn - that is extraordinary, do you just have the two ovaries? and two fallopian tubes? and is it just luck where the egg might end up or do they take turns? Sorry just very interested in your uteri

Had a lovely chat with DH last night about what a difficult mental 'game' this all is. Trying not to get too worked up about it, but also keeping track of when fertile window is, etc etc. We both agreed that although we do definitely want this second baby (and possibly more if we can), that if it takes 6 months or 5 years it would be ok. Obviously each thing has an impact on jobs/childcare/family dynamic and choices about whether to pursue assisted conception would I guess be made along the way, but it was just reassuring and helped me to feel a bit less 'desperate'. It builds up each time we get close to the fertile time and all the 'maybe this time' thoughts crowd in. Good to regain a bit of perspective.

lorelai ahhhh is that right help! I already have a family history of twins!

Ladybee glad your feeling better about things.

(hanging around, also intriegued about uteri!)

I quite fancy twins actually! In fact, that stat got me so excited that I will almost be disappointed if I don't get twins if and when I do get pg!

It's also more likely if you get of easily, and I did last time, so if I get pg this month then who knows? No family history of twins though.

Am also intrigued by the uteri...

Sorry, meant if you get pg easily not of! Bloody iPhone and its spelling corrections.

Well, it looks like I will be moving from the front of the October bus to the back. I have period cramps and a little bit of period show (sorry if TMI). I will update my stats when it's more official that I am never going to get pregnant

lady bee, and every one else who's intrested, i have a wall down the middle, the condition is called a septate uterus. mine is quite bad as it goes all the way down practally seperating the two sides from each other. the thing is that the wall isnt the same as the other walls in the uterus, so this wall doesnt give the baby any nuteriants or blood that it needs to grow resulting in a higher chance of mc.

it also means that if i do eventually get pregnant and carry full term, i will have a small baby, it will be born prem as there wont be enough room for it to grow or to turn so it will be breach and have to be delivered via c-section.

this ttc bit is the easiest bit for me!

bessi keep positive, it might happen yet

right, afternoon everyone. For those that expressed an interest, I had my doctors appointment earlier.

(my history - 38 years, already have twin boys aged 5 - which took 6 months to conceive. I have now started cycle 5 ttc number 3)

Anywhoo I said that i wasnt getting pg and she asked how long id been trying etc etc, and then she said that there was no harm in having bloods done, being as I am 38, and she doesnt mind doing DH sperm test, if the bloods come back ok. So thats good news , as i thought she would send me off and get me to keep on trying. Got to go back approx day 21 now and have the other bloods taken. Feel good that something is being done.

She also said there was no reason for me not to have a baby well into my 40's, and that since I have already had a baby it was 'safer'than if i'd never had any. she also said because i dont have probs with my periods, and have not had anyother partners except DH for years that there is little chance of my tubes being blocked. Fingers crossed shes right!

addicted that's fascinating. How are/will pregnancies be monitored -scans, appointments etc?

lucybrad my doc said very simialr thing to me about age and having had other dcs already. I assume you had the day 3 bloods taken today?

Hello- I'm back from work and now skiving housework having a rest and catching up.

For those of you I havent had this conversation with I'll tell my story so far!
18m ago I had treatment for endo I was then on the pill for a year to keep it at bay. Since TTC my periods have got heavier and more painful which makes me suspect the endo is returning. I mentioned it at the GP and he suggested testing for problems now as if the endo does return it will make TTC v difficult.So I had bloods done last month which showed I hadnt ovulated. DH did his bit last week and on Friday we are back at GP for his results. My dds are from my previous marriage and he has no kids so we have no past history to go with him! GP said he will probably refer us if DH is ok. IF he isnt we have more to think about as I dont know what options that leaves us.

yes it was day 3 bloods (although i am on day 5 she said it was still ok?)

nymph hope those results come back ok.

ilove, i'll tell you the whole story, but its quite long so please bear with me.

dec. 08 i had a operation on my hymen i had a septate hymen, (sex was really painfull and uncomfortable and tbh impossible) the gyne realised then that i had this condition, wrote it on my notes and left it to the doctor to tell me about it and refer me to a specilist. well, that never happend. i got pregnant soon after that and at 6 weeks started light bleeding, and it felt all wrong, it took me 7 days to convince them that i wasnt just a parinoid pregnant woman and something was seriously wrong with my body, i was finally admitted and lost lost lots of blood. the gyne who was dealing with me then asked about operations and my dh said about the one in dec. i remember the gyne reading the notes from my operation infront of me and he said "well no wonder you've lost the baby" that was when i realised i'd had a mc. i lost a lot of blood and was so out of it i never followed up on that sentance, and i completly forgot about it, untill i had a second mc at 5 weeks, this one wasnt as bad and i didnt go to hospital, (i should point out that i'd also moved house during this time so had a new more efficent doctor) so i went to the doc to tell him i'd had a mc and to make sure it was ok to start ttc again (we didnt try again but thats another story!) and thats when he looked through my notes and told me about the condition and what they had written. after much to-ing and fro-ing i've got my first appointment with the specilist gyne tomorrow to find out more about the condition and the chance of carrying a baby to full term, how will future pregnancys be monotored and what they will do to help [nervous]

lucybrad and nymph i hope every thing will be ok for you. being constantly worried is not fun is it.

Lucybrad - must have taken me ages to post before cos I completely missed yours! Hoping we dont need to be comparing results!

addicted at what shoddy treatment you've had for your previous pregnancies. Glad you've found a better gp and they're taking your condition seriously. I do hope ttc works out for you.

Am in baby making phase. Contemplating jumping dh tonight. Although ds is currently having his 'afternoon nap' on the sofa so god knows what kind of night we've got in store.

addicted am shocked at your treatment. Sorry, fascinating was a bit of an insensitive word to use . I really hope all goes well and the gynae gives you the help you need.

your allowed to be fascinated, most people are! I'm just glad its being sorted now.

Digitalgirl, jump him you know you want to!

addicted sounds terrible, hope all goes well with gynae

Sorry to jump in but I have query and hoping for some input. CD13 today both yesterday and today I have had brown cm - quite light but noticeable - any body have experience of this, as have never had before..........

Just hopping on to the October bus, trying to keep my chin up ...

Quite a lot of familiar faces SB

cailin could be to do with lots of or quite forcefull sex. it could be implantation bleeding (although unlikely as your cycle is 32-36 days long, so slightly too early) or it could be left over from your period, just old blood.

hi samantha, sorry you have to join us but its nice to see new faces

Please excuse my ignorance here, but is it possible to ovulate without getting EWCM? Going by cycle length I should be into the 2ww but haven't seen any sign of ovulation yet (which is probably a good thing, as DH has been too tired for much SWI!)

I've never really paid much attention to my cycle, but I am sure I have seen what I now think is EWCM in the past, just not this cycle.

if you have ovulated you will have had some, but it could be that its not a lot or a diffrent consistancy/colour to usual due to change of diet, exercise or even weather change!

i cant remember where i herd that (i think it must have been on a diffrent forum) but apparantly its all to do with your body trying to keep warm/cool
