setayharas Wed 30-Jan-13 18:13:07

So after ungracefully falling off the back of the February bus iv hijacked another decorated it with fairy lights and stocked it full of cream soda and oreo biscuits.

Here hoping march brings some much needed sunshine and all the bfps!!

Setayharas ttc1 cycle4 bfp due at some point

setayharas Tue 05-Feb-13 19:21:29

Shamelessly bumping lol! Don't wanna be alone in march!

SpanishLady Wed 06-Feb-13 11:13:50

I will (optimistically) join!

I had a MC at the weekend so had to leave the Jan(EDD September) bus.

But! we want to try again asap after my body sorts itself out so hoping that will be March!

I have a 2 year old son (conceived in March) so hoping for similar good luck!

setayharas Wed 06-Feb-13 11:59:23

Hey spanishlady so sorry to hear about your mc!
Can understand the wanting to get at it again! Hope march is your month!

Fingers crossed for you!

I'm pretty calm at the moment but I'm sure the symptom spotting monster will return soon!

crazyhead Wed 06-Feb-13 12:02:11

I'll be starting to TTC in March, so I'll join! I'm 36 now and have the fear it will be difficult.

padster75 Wed 06-Feb-13 15:29:08

setay I've just been unceremonialy dumped off the Feb bus by af arriving 2 days early, giving me cramps to die for and a feeling that I might vom everywhere.

So for the record:
Padster75 TTC #2 Cycle 5 BFP 7th March

SpanishLady Wed 06-Feb-13 15:43:49

thanks - I am really hopeful it will all end up alright.

As I havent had a period yet to determine where I am in my cycle my stats are for the moment:

SpanishLady TTC #2 Cycle 1 BFP (no idea yet!)

setayharas Wed 06-Feb-13 15:57:07

oh padster im sorry to see you here!

but kinda glad i wont be alone this month! hope af buggers off soon and leaves you alone.

enjoy a nice big glass of wine

padster75 Wed 06-Feb-13 17:29:25

I might just have to crack a bottle open when I get in from my guide meeting this evening. Care to join me wine

chocoloulou33 Wed 06-Feb-13 22:24:06

Hey girls, been waiting for this bus for a couple of days. Hope this one is luckier for us all smile
Chocoloulou33 ttc#2 cycle 6 BFP due 1st March

setayharas Thu 07-Feb-13 07:12:36

I sure do hope this bus is luckier( I'm not paying for my fare unless Im leaving with a bfp)
Feb being a silly short month has meant iv completely missed that month, in rules of fairness I think I should get a double chance in march!

chocoloulou33 Thu 07-Feb-13 07:43:09

Yes setay you should! Cd 7 here, af gone wooo! We r planning on doing SMEP this month, eek that's a lot of shagging wink

MotherOfCleo Thu 07-Feb-13 08:40:14

Hi ladies, Im stealing a seat on feb and march as AF is due 28 feb/1March.
Hi choc Im on cd8, due to my stupid short AF we have already dtd twice, I'm thinking eod till ov week then everyday for 5 days during ov week and then back to eod.....god it sounds knackering!
We are both on a cocktail of vits, I changed my prenatal to one with D3, an im taking extra b6, vit c, vit e an zinc, the OH is taking vits for the first time, hes on prenatals too, plus extra zinc and vit c for super healthy swimmers. FX!

chocoloulou33 Thu 07-Feb-13 11:32:26

setayharas Thu 07-Feb-13 13:00:32

choco i got it off the preseed website think it was about £20 and you only get 9 applicators i have read of people boiling them and re-using them. otherwise its £20 for 9 bds which is really quite expensive. if it works ill pay anything tho lol

theboob Thu 07-Feb-13 13:40:09

Welcome boob lovin the name lol
loves raaaggghhhh to the evil witch. Can't believe she got you too. Let's hope this march bus is lucky lucky lucky smile
Ps just dtd a day early, meant to be doing smep but that doesn't start til cd8. Wooops I'm gonna get this all wrong haha x

March - start of spring, mating season! Lets shag like rabbits and get these BFP's grin

I have 2 bottles of wine a share bag of doritos and I am going to sit at the back and cause mischief wink

bebebuttons2 Thu 07-Feb-13 17:50:32

Lovesthechaos3 -March - start of spring, mating season! Lets shag like rabbits and get these BFP's. Haha that cracked me up, hopefully you're right.

My bfp is due 3rd of march, hoping march is the month for me!!

setayharas Thu 07-Feb-13 17:59:58

Haha aslong as u don't throw Doritos at the back of my head, I have so much dry shampoo in my hair I'll never get them out!

I wouldn't worry aslong as u dtd a lot before ov and 3 days after nonstop if say ur still doing the smep

As soon as oh is back from snowboarding ( hopefully testicles intact) ill be trying the smep aswell

Normally I don't want it more than once a week of oh is lucky. This is hard work haha

PistachioTruffle Thu 07-Feb-13 18:12:00

Hello, can I join too? BFP due 1st march according to my app which takes an average, but a couple of days before if going by last month (stupid irregular cycles!)

PistachioTruffle TTC#1 cycle 6 bfp due March 1ts

MotherOfCleo Thu 07-Feb-13 19:34:39

setay love the comment about all your nooks and crannies wink

choc dont get me started lol, my vits are more for my peice of mind than because they do anything. I found out that when on ivf they recommend women take vit d3 to help implantation so I though ohh I'll have me some of that. Extra b6 is to hopefully stop my post ov spotting, vit c and zinc are meant to be good for fertility in general and help make strog swimmers in our OHs wink vit e is to help make a nice lining for my little egg to live. See I'm a loser.

Went to my MILs graduation today and sat behind a woman with a gorgeous gorgeous little girl, about 2 months old, god it made me broody!

Pixie001 Thu 07-Feb-13 19:45:48

Hello you crazy folks!!

loves sorry to she got ya too. It's so gutting huh?

I have to admit I'm a hitch-hiker on this bus as dh is away with work this next cycle and next. Very poorly planned trips. naughty pixie will join loves at back of bus and watch the action if that's ok? Mind if I dip into the doritos?
my stats anyway...
Pixie001 cycle 6 bfp (given this is a magical mystical bus after all!) due 4th

honey86 Thu 07-Feb-13 19:56:59

can i jump on? i dont think ill have a feb bfp somehow, too early on x

honey86 Thu 07-Feb-13 19:58:20

oh this is my first month ttc#4, according to ff i shud be die af on 28th feb/1st march x

honey86 Thu 07-Feb-13 20:00:14

omg motherofcleo your due same days... only my cycle has been stupidly long.. had af all the way thru jan thanks to cerazette x

Pixie I have just got more doritos and my neighbour brought me round 2 bottles of wine so we have plenty to keep us going grin
Seriously though I am getting shitfaced tipsy tomorrow night!

<waves at honey> lovely to see someone else ttc#4 smile

theboob Thu 07-Feb-13 20:36:43

loves once you have 3 dc the jump to 4 is a breeze ! just hoping it's the same to 5 lol
well as i have no idea of my cycle i'm just going to get on with it ......but not tonight as dh has pissed me off haha !

I have wanted #4 for so so long. had 3 under 4 at home not they are all at school so perfect time. I am sure #5 will be as easy at 4 smile

Boo to your dh pissing you off lol

setayharas Thu 07-Feb-13 20:51:29

Just purchased some conceive plus, hoping it's help get me through all the action I shall be gettin this month.

Getting a bit annoyed now that oh is away and I'm not due to ovulate for well over a week! Want to get baby making now I need some control over this situation lol

barebranches Thu 07-Feb-13 21:25:49

i fell off the feb bus today so im climbing onto the march bus!

Bfp due march 8th grin

barebranches Thu 07-Feb-13 21:28:32

opps forgot ttc number 1 cycle 2 grin

I have never experienced period pains like this sad it has reduced me to tears The AF witch has so much to answer for! GRRRRRR

Pixie001 Thu 07-Feb-13 23:06:16

bare sorry af shoved you off the last bus, she's so rude.I'm also ttc#1 and getting crazily impatient
Is preseed the same as conceiveplus? I'm little confused. Might get one of them. Sustained shagging seems to need some assistance in old age!
cleo that's a hell of a lot of pills!!
setay today was a dry shampoo day for me too!
choc was it weigh in tonight?
<Waves at all passengers and gets loves to refill wine again> Good luck everyone with your shagathons!!

chocoloulou33 Thu 07-Feb-13 23:50:21

Hi bare & other new people! <waves>
cleo may start me & OH on vit c & zinc, worth a shot!
loves hope ur ok hun, I get bad af pains some months, horrible sad hope they go away very soon x
setay how long your OH away for?
pixie is your OH away too or am I getting muddled? Am thinking of getting pre-seed or conceive plus too bu don't know which ones better? Yes it was weigh in 2nite & lost 3lbs smile so that's 11 lbs in 3 weeks yey. OH lost 21 lbs in 3 weeks so its all good & we getting healthy & having something to focus on. Just realised pixie we both in our 6th cycle, surely this is the month!!! X

Pixie001 Fri 08-Feb-13 07:50:31

Well done choc! 11lbs in 3wks is great work! I set myself a target of half a stone by end feb but I've not really shifted much - 2.5lbs so far.
Yes dh is away from 3 days pre-ov to 2 dpo. It sucks. And don't think cycle after that's gonne be much better. So likely april bus cycle 8 for me! Hence I feel bit like a hitch hiker!
Might go on ebay tonight and get a cbfm and find lube.

deliasmithy Fri 08-Feb-13 08:50:24

Hi,
After a week's break from Feb bus I'm back and ready to embrace a March Bfp.

No idea what cycle, but:
Deliasmithy TTC 1 bfp due 4th March

Pixie001 Fri 08-Feb-13 09:39:23

Hi delia! Fancy a breakfast mini muffin and [tea]? I call the muffins 'breakfast' ones just to justify eating them at this time of day...
choc here's a carrot stick for you...
cleo have started taking b6 as heard it help regulates hormones and my cycles have been bit wierd/short over last few mths so hoping it'll help

chocoloulou33 Fri 08-Feb-13 10:34:05

Hi delia glad to have you onboard!
pixie lol no carrot sticks for me! I'm not a healthy eating freak honest! I eat no fruit at all & not a lot of veg either. Am eating normal food, just less of it & cut right down on the chocolate. Its working so far. Keep at it & sure u will reach your goal.
I've ordered some concieve plus & more ov sticks from amazon this morning. Trouble is think they gonna be a week to get here & I'm due to ov thurs/fri next week, oops. Ah well u never know, OH gonna kill me, we not meant to be spending out on anything this month as got debts to pay! X

honey86 Fri 08-Feb-13 10:48:23

hiyaa waves back smile

me too, hoping that #4 will slip in nicely, as i have a nicely synced routine in place atm... all 3 DCs go full time in sept so i would have plenty of dyingofmorningsickness/babybondingtime...

atm im still waiting to see what my bodys going to do since coming off cerazette.... no +opk no bfp no af no ewcm, just limbo atm hmm x

Pixie001 Fri 08-Feb-13 11:17:02

honey I recovered quite quickly from cerazette so hope you're the same!

TTC is making me lose my marbles....I left the house wearing dh's coat this morning. It's huuuge on me but I only realised when I went to get in the car and couldnt find my hands under the sleeves. Unfortunately he was with me and will never let me live this down.

MotherOfCleo Fri 08-Feb-13 11:21:12

hum, so tomorrow is the start of shag week, im quite chilled at the mo give it a few days and I'll be mental again we dtd this morning but I was running late and couldnt lay on my back like a good girl, by the time I got to work many swimmers had lost the fight with gravity.....doh.

setayharas Fri 08-Feb-13 11:49:05

Oh is bck tomorrow, got my first high fertility today on Cbfm so will start te shaggin Sunday.

In agony today with low pelvic cramps! All being written on cycle Callander so doctor has to take me seriously when I see him next week. If he even tries to tell me my pains are menstral related I may just kill him! So could well be imprisoned soon lol

padster75 Fri 08-Feb-13 16:09:38

setay I'll either come & bail you out or be joining you as last months ov pain had me doubled up (says something as I have an unbelievably high pain threshold)

katerinaemalina Fri 08-Feb-13 16:22:41

I'm joining in as well as just need someone to talk to - it's so hard not being able to talk about this!!. My story so far is ttc Nov 12. Got preggers. Had early m/c (chem preg). Now on cycle 4. I'm currently waiting for AF to start. I crumbled and took two tests a few days ago and BFNs on both and I don't feel preg and have crampy period pains at the mo so trying to look forward to next round. Ding ding. I am trying not to get despondent as I know I can conceive and haven't been trying that long, but oh my! it's a rollercoaster isn't it? I've been broody for about 3 yrs and so now I find it excruciating seeing babies or hearing about people who have got preg (particularly "accidents" rah!!) and the monthly cycle of feeling low and miserable when the witch arrive,s then just hurrying it up until ovu, then shagging for Britain he he, then obsessively symptom spotting, then thinking ooh I am, ooh I'm not, then the witch arrives. etc etc. Anyway laides lots of good lucks for us all round for this month xxxx

setayharas Fri 08-Feb-13 16:47:44

hahaha katerinaemalina you post made me dizzy haha but i did chuckle i feel exactly the same rushing every month. it hit me today that every year i only get 12 cycles to concieve...12 thats not alot now is it?

oh padster whats wrong with doctors why dont they just listen??

SpanishLady Sat 09-Feb-13 10:42:47

Hi Katerina!

good news got a bfn this morning ( had MC last week at 8 weeks) so hopeful I'll get a chance to start ttc this month - waiting for period hurry up!

padster75 Sat 09-Feb-13 16:16:19

setay they don't teach them empathy I'm afraid

theboob Sat 09-Feb-13 16:31:11

well a close friend at uni has just announced her pregnancy !! soooo happy i won't be the only one with a bump at graduation ........so long as it happens quick

deliasmithy Sun 10-Feb-13 13:44:43

Well my pill withdraw af has just begun, one step closer now. Me and my OH has decided to have a bit of a pre-ttc mini party (for the two of us) I've got in booze, Brie and cured meat. Had looked for shark but didn't seem to have anything in tescos. I gave the liver a miss. Just having a strong cup of tea now. I definitely know how to live!

gillian1986 Sun 10-Feb-13 16:09:44

Think I will jump onboard!
Period due around 21st feb although only had one true period since coming off the pill mid december so WHO KNOWS when my period will actually come - although I'm hoping, of course, I will be be regular and back to "Normal".

Although obviously my biggest hope is that my period doesnt come at all and that I'm pregnant! Gonna keep trying and see what happens...

gillian1986 Sun 10-Feb-13 16:12:38

By the way... Im 26 years old, no children so this is my first time of trying smile Only really just started trying to conceive after coming off the pill in december, having a pill period/withdrawal bleed and then first true period from 25th-29th jan. So... Lets go!

setayharas Sun 10-Feb-13 19:31:41

Hey everyone,
Well oh is bk from he's holiday and we should b shaggin like rabbits!
Been doubled over in pain most of the weekend. Patiently waiting for my doctors appointment and hoping I'll get a cancellation before then.

Oh been talking about maybe calming down on the ttc front Nd concentrating on getting married this winter or next year.
He's words were.... Your going to be having tests and hopefully quite soon a laposcraphy, until we know what the deal is why don't we concentrate on something fun and exciting and if it happens Inthe mean time great.

I'm only 26 but can't help but panic at the thought of perhaps waiting another year to ttc. If I do infact have endo isn't the sooner the better? Who the hell knows ay! All I no is im in so much pain today I do not want any willy near me lol!

Pixie001 Sun 10-Feb-13 20:32:01

oh setay sounds like your dr's appt cant come soon enuf! sounds sensible approach from your oh but easier said than done
sciencegeek am very amused at your pre-ttc party! i'd have included pate myself but i know it's not everyone's taste..!
met up with some of my folks for a pre-birthday gathering. thankfully my sil couldnt make it as she wasnt feeling too well. she's 5 yrs younger than me, is now 19 wks with quite a big bump already and got upduffed on honeymoon and i'm so envious that i'd just rather not see her. that's terrible isn't it??? i'm such a bad person.
hi gillian here's hopin no af for you!
oh, and if anyone's updating the list then i'm TTC#1

Dreamstoreality Sun 10-Feb-13 22:30:35

Can I jump on board too?? Also riding the Feb bus as BFP due 28th Feb / 1st March. I'm 35, DH 29 TTC#1 cycle 1. (Had 2 mc, one at 8 weeks and the last at 11 weeks).

honey86 Sun 10-Feb-13 22:54:18

hiya dreams smile were due same time too! sorry to hear about your mc's... hopefully this will be your time x

chocoloulou33 Sun 10-Feb-13 23:46:52

Hi everyone on bus hope uve all been shagging lots had a lovely weekend smile
The smep isn't exactly going to plan lol, we r just doing it as much as possible instead! Just wish OH wasn't working nights all week sad no romantic valentines night for us! Will have to find the time somehow!
setay hope your pains are better in morning, when u got docs? X
dreams welcome hun, rly hope u get your bfp soon & its a sticky one. I also had 2 mc's before I had my dd. She is now 5. So there is hope. I never thought it would happen but it did & it rly helps u to forget all the bad stuff. I had one at 8 weeks & one at 13wks. I fell pregnant real quick back then but getting older now lol & this time seems to be taking a while! X

Pops78 Mon 11-Feb-13 01:38:18

Hello ladies, was watching feb tempted to jump on and then AF arrived. This month I am jumping on board fully prepared with conception plus, ovulation sticks, cheap pg tests and a determination to dtd plenty. Really hope to get a result. Have been trying for a while then found out 3 months ago have post partum underactive thyroid which stopped me ovulating so hope with my meds I am now doing so... Fingers crossed for all of us. So TTC 2, AF is a bit unpredictable at mo but believe due Mar 5th.

padster75 Mon 11-Feb-13 06:59:35

Thank god af rocked up last week, pate/soft cheese/whole bottle of red got consumed last night.............. tasted divine

AF still here so not yet ready for the fun bit ........ due to ov on my wedding anniversary grin

katerinaemalina Mon 11-Feb-13 09:12:30

AF still not arrived..... It's agony!! Will keep u posted. Am too scared to poas. My cycles are not regular plus with mc a bit unsure when I'm due exactly so if I'm still waiting this fri I will test. I'm ttc #1 will update u when poss due date will be when blasted af arrives! confused

chocoloulou33 Mon 11-Feb-13 09:24:04

Morning ladies. Diet not going well last few days & just had a twix for breakfast so I need to get back on track.
pops I'm ttc #2 too. Month 6 for me. Ordered concieve plus & ov sticks but don't think they gonna get here in time, am due to ov this week!
pads sounds lovely!! I think I'm due to ov on valentines day but oh working nights. Typical hey.
Keep us updated kat fingers crossed for a bfp x

honey86 Mon 11-Feb-13 10:31:01

good luck kat smile

choco, me too... a stuffed crust pizza led me astray yesterday... trying to be good... but there pancake mix in the cupboard calling me lol

hope u ladies are well, poa ov stick and got a darker line this mirning but still not as dark as the control line so im keeping an eye on it... on cd39 atm shock

honey86 Mon 11-Feb-13 11:16:54

retested, got another neg... booo... was looking forward to booty calling dphmm

SpanishLady Mon 11-Feb-13 12:16:52

FX for you Katerina - meant to say I was sorry you are struggling to not feel despondent - no real pearls of wisdom for you other then I have found planning non-baby related things gives me something else to think about so I have found that useful.

Pixie - I dont think you are a bad person! seems normal to me

chocoloulou33 Mon 11-Feb-13 12:55:06

my ov sticks have just arrived in the post wooop! Is it sad I'm excited lol. No concieve plus yet though. Gonna poas in a bit oh the excitement haha x

Sorelip Mon 11-Feb-13 13:21:32

I'm jumping on the March bus. We'll be TTC#2, and I'm on CD 4. I will be POAS around 13th March. Sorry if my posts are a bit short, I find it hard to type properly on an iPad. I spilled wine on my laptop and killed it sad

Today will also be the day I start trying to take on good habits, like drinking 2 litres of water a day and quitting alcohol (that one isn't just because of TTCing, but also because I need to lose some pork).

honey86 Mon 11-Feb-13 17:52:45

@ sorelip same as, good girl! ive recently quit smoking 40 days so far x

Sorelip Mon 11-Feb-13 18:57:20

Nice one honey86! How are you finding it? I don't smoke, so I can't imagine what it must be like trying to stop. DH managed to stop though, using champix. I'm still so proud of him.

I've nearly managed my 2 litres, and bought some Seven Seas conception vitamins on offer in Superdrug. I'm ready and raring to go! Just need af to sod off.

honey86 Mon 11-Feb-13 20:02:33

ahh im still in limbo, waiting for af/ bfp/ ov... kinda frustrating hmm

thanks, well done to ur dp smile ive been on the patches and quickmist... had a relapse at xmas... its so easy to give in... but if i get a bfp i wont even think about it x

deliasmithy Mon 11-Feb-13 20:03:53

I've just eaten a mars bar for dinner!
I'm just holding on to the fact that yesterday was worse.

Hubby bless him has seen his GP as I started freaking out during my AF that its never gonna happen etc. he's now equipped with a pot! Why does 6 months trying feel like a year??

Hmmm mars bars...

Deliasmithy, my theory is that because when you're young, all you're taught is that pregnancy can strike at any moment if you have sex, as if it's inevitable. Of course, that really isn't the case, but it stays with you. So when it doesn't happen straight away, it knocks you sideways.

chocoloulou33 Mon 11-Feb-13 22:43:39

Well got a -ve on opk 2day. Been on mil's treadmill 2day though so feel a bit better about the amount of chocolates and pancakes I've eaten this week wink

Pops78 Mon 11-Feb-13 23:27:54

Glad your ov sticks got there in time choc. Hope mine get here soon. I feel so surrounded by babies at mo. Everybody I know (well feels like it) is pg or just had a baby. I am so blessed to already have my DD but even she constantly asks me (at 3) when I am going to have a baby in my tummy like her friends mummies aaaah. I think it's my thyroid condition that is making me so paro it won't work out, there is an increased risk of miscarriage even if I get pg. think I need to just get a grip and be positive, this is my/ our month. Can I ask what the best position for conception is, is it missionary sorry if this is so daft but I have read a few diff things, god I sound childish.

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 12-Feb-13 13:28:37

I'm a phd student and signed up for a statistics course (why oh why??). It's so horribly complicated that I keep finding myself zoning out and fantising about being pregnant or what my baby might l

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 12-Feb-13 13:29:08

Poo. Didn't mean to send. As saying fantising what my baby m

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 12-Feb-13 13:29:53

Ok stopping now you get idea. Sorry for all this silly posting. Stupid phone

Sorelip Tue 12-Feb-13 13:31:37

Pops78, what thyroid condition do you have? I have an underctive thyroid. As for positions, I don't think there's one best position other than the one you like best. However, I would have thought that deeper penetration is better for getting the swimmers closer to their goal, so perhaps doggy? I'm happy to be corrected.

Ds decided that 6am was a good time to wake up today. Urgh.

Sorelip Tue 12-Feb-13 13:34:15

Lol ScienceGeekGirl I know what you mean, I'm doing an OU degree in business and accounting, and I find one of the books so boring, I end up fantasising about having a little girl, and how Ds and imagined Dd would play together. Of course I'd be just as happy with a boy.

theboob Tue 12-Feb-13 14:46:09

I am also at the end of my nursing degree and finding it hard to consentrate !
I should be finishing an essay now and also have a dissertation to write ........instead i'm trying to convince dh i NEED obv sticks

theboob Tue 12-Feb-13 14:47:02

*ov sticks

setayharas Tue 12-Feb-13 18:08:00

Didn't get a doc appointment this week, gotta wait another week!

Gonna try and take the laid back approach until at least I no what's
Going on around there!
Of corse still using the cbfm without ohs knowledge

Got a nice bucket load of ewcm today so know my bodies doing something right so shall have a halfassed attempt of bd the rest of this week legs in the air and preseed of course I can't completely be laid back

How's everyone been?

chocoloulou33 Tue 12-Feb-13 21:52:44

pops I have heard missionary is best position.
setay I am good how ru? Another -ve ov test 2day but dtd anyway! Every other day so far this week smile I do worry I don't ever get ewcm! I don't rly get any cm. Should I be worried about this? I remember when ttc dd I did. Maybe that's why I'm not concieveing? Any ideas ladies? X

honey86 Tue 12-Feb-13 22:08:17

missionary and puttin legs in the air after... worked like a charm with my last 3 lol

-opk tday, but ff chart says im 3 dpo. am skeptical tho x

chocoloulou33 Tue 12-Feb-13 22:22:56

honey its hard to know what to trust isn't it. That's why we're dtd every other day just incase! What cd u on? I'm cd12 x

PistachioTruffle Tue 12-Feb-13 23:14:09

chocoloulou I haven't noticed any ewcm either and worry about it too. Cycle day 21 of a 33-36 day cycle, and no positive opk yet either. I wish I knew what was going on!

setayharas Tue 12-Feb-13 23:48:30

I read somewhere once that the more water you drink the more cm you get. Iv been trying to drink 2 ltrs a day maybe that's why I could start a shop with mine, worth a try.

honey86 Wed 13-Feb-13 07:49:10

im in cd41 now... i know its my first cycle but im abit anxious, my sister has 3 kids n cant get pg cos of sticky blood.. but theres also thyroid problems running in my family n im worried im going to inherit it.

i really hope they cn keep their bfn dna to themselves.. horrible aint i sad

MotherOfCleo Wed 13-Feb-13 09:08:49

choc Ive not been overun with ewcm either, had some the day before yesterday but I think when I use conceive plus it dries up my own cm sad
Well I got a positive opk yesterday and have what I think are OV pains this morning, we've dtd eod this month, then everyday since sunday, gonna stay with everyday till Friday.....FX!
I got a positive opk last month but had no ov pains so I dont think I ovd, it would explain why I had such an odd cycle with lots of clots and spotting....random though as I got positive opks 2 days running!

chocoloulou33 Wed 13-Feb-13 10:43:47

Thanks for the advice ladies, I am a big water drinkere anyway but will try drink more. Good news is I got my conceive plus thru in post 2day, 1st time I've used anything like this. Not due to dtd 2nite though unless I get a + opk 2day.
cleo your ov pains won't be same every month, its v unlikely u didn't ovulate as u had a + opk & you got your af about 2 wEeks later. Am not an expert though so ?? I reeaaaaly wanna get a + opk 2day x

setayharas Wed 13-Feb-13 11:19:33

But of a tmi question here whilst we r discussing cm! Started using the cbfm been high for about a week but no peak yet, iv had 2 days of what I think is ewcm (oh worked away sad ) today iv had more sticky but still feeling watery(like I'm wetting myself lol) could I have missed ovulation? I don't normally ov for a couple more days yet.
This process makes me feel more and more thick lol

honey86 Wed 13-Feb-13 12:29:32

been test crazy today driving myself mad... sticky cm, OPK neg, HCG neg, FSH neg... wud that mean im definately post-ov? or just hormoneless lol x

Springbells Wed 13-Feb-13 13:27:51

Hello all, just fallen off the back of the Feb bus so marking my spot. This cycle was 38 days, so no idea when bfp due, hoping I ovulate this month as didn't last. Apparently ovulating helps the baby making process, but my body decided not to play hmm.

Anyway, large bottle of wine, blue cheese and rare steak planned for this weekend, to console myself! grin

Role on the bfp's!

MotherOfCleo Wed 13-Feb-13 13:29:35

did an opk today and its negative so its def 12-24 hours from yesterday at noon, weve dtd every night since sun and will carry on till friday just incase but I guess I'm into the waiting game......im so impatient! honey i think ewcm is prior to ov so maybe you are oving late? or maybe you missed your surge?

honey86 Wed 13-Feb-13 13:59:12

i havent had much ewcm really, mostly watery...
maybe missed my surge, as aint FSH normally high in the follicular phase...

welcome newbie smile

Hi Ladies, Feels like ages since i've last been on. Have been so busy, this is my first af since having my copper coil removed and what a weird one its been, only one day bleeding and that wasnt even enough for a tampon and the rest has been pretty much pinky cm. Sorry for TMI, just wondering if anyone had anything similar after having the coil removed. Think it has stopped now so let the shagging commence! Hope it happens soon as my coil has to go back in April if it hasn't i am getting married april next year and don't want to be pregnant of still flabby lol x

chocoloulou33 Wed 13-Feb-13 16:42:25

hi loves never had coil or anything so can't rly help u out with that one but wanted to say hi smile I got another -ve opk 2day hmmm x

Tinkerbellefairy Wed 13-Feb-13 17:37:09

Hello ladies can I join? DH and I were planning on waiting to ttc till Christmas this yr but a couple of days ago hubby said lets just go for it yay! Pretty new to this and got on with DTD but not sure if its all a bit too late for this month after our sudden decision. We DTD on cd 17 and my cycles are around 35days do you think I've missed the boat this month? Wishing you all lots of luck x

navis176 Wed 13-Feb-13 17:49:28

Hi all, hopping on the bus for another stressful 30 days....

navis176 - TTC #1 cycle 5 post mmc af due 14 Mar

setayharas Wed 13-Feb-13 17:50:04

Hi tinker
Id say your bang on time to start dtd! My last two cycles have been 35 days and iv got positive opks on cd19 and 20 so I'd say your doing it around the right time! Obviously we are all different!
Do u get any ovulation signs? Cm or pains or anything that might help u pin point your fertile days! Good luck anyway!

Tinkerbellefairy Wed 13-Feb-13 18:48:36

Thanks setay. Hope so have been DTD ever since in hope not too late. Well after reading up on posts on here I now think I might have that stretchy EWCM today so will def continue DTD incase. Sometimes get a bit of pain around ov but right now think I may be over analysing every little body movement and only a few days into this. Glad to see not only one with longer cycles!

chocoloulou33 Wed 13-Feb-13 22:44:34

Hi navis hope your ok hun & your stay on this bus isn't as stressful xx

MotherOfCleo Thu 14-Feb-13 09:45:37

heres to the positive opks choc our cycles are so similar! Got my positive opk day before yesterday.
Im so irrational, we didnt dtd last night after having crap 'we have to dtd as its ov week' sex the night before but dtd this morning instead, now I keep thinking 'what if I OVd yesterday and we dtd too late' geez it was only 7 hours later......I am so sad!!!!

chocoloulou33 Thu 14-Feb-13 11:34:21

Lol cleo u aren't sad hun just ttc makes u over think everything. I haven't had a positive opk yet. Mine have been negative so far sad got a bad belly 2day which is rly not great timing is it! Got to go to work soon. Might have to do an ov test later in day when tummy settles down x

lisbapalea Thu 14-Feb-13 11:47:28

Hi all - I am new to this thread but have been on a couple of the others on the Conception board.

I keep getting -ve OPK results - tested on Monday (CD8), Tuesday (CD9) and today (CD11). My cycle is only 24 days (give or take a day either side) so I would have thought I should be getting +ve results now, shouldn't I?

Am using Boots OPKs and am getting a line, but it's not darker than the control line. I also used these when I conceived DD and seem to remember being utterly confused by them then too!!

lisbapalea - TTC#2 cycle 1 af due 28Feb/1Mar

setayharas Thu 14-Feb-13 12:45:54

ahhh getting the hump here! im due to ovulate in 2 days if i go buy the last few cycles and iv got a lovely amount of ewcm!

oh was on holiday last week and this week has been working away. got back yesterday already a bit late to start dtd

went home at lunch today all ready and we had a huge row haha so iv stormed back to work leaving dtd right to the last minuite

MotherOfCleo Thu 14-Feb-13 13:34:03

choc sorry I misread your post...doh. FX you get a positive soon!

lis you normal ov 14 days prior to AF so I would expect you to OV around cd11, if you can go either way then you may ov today or tomorrow.

The surge can be short lived too, when are you testing? Is it the same time each day? My positives are very obvious, I use the asda ones £7 for 7 I think. I have tried testing at different times but find the best results from my second wee of the day, usually around 11/12ish. Do you normally have any ewcm to help you pinpoint ov? Perhaps you are going to ov late this month? Has anything happened which might delay it? Stress? New supplements? Anything can have an effect I think.

Re the line you should always have a faint test line but a positive should be noticably darker, the same colour as or darker than the control line.I would just keep testing. Sorry I can't be more help.

lisbapalea Thu 14-Feb-13 13:43:46

Thanks cleo - I think I had ewcm yesterday - can't remember if that is supposed to indicate ovulation is coming, is happening or has happened? (I feel very un-clued up on these threads!).

CD11 is today, so will DTD tonight, tomorrow and the weekend. Have also DTD on Monday and Tuesday this week so I may still have some stuff still knocking around up there!

Think I have generally been using OPKs on my 2nd wee of the day, around 11ish as you suggested.

No additional stress that I can think of beyond the usual, other than my new obsession with TTC and religiously reading anything I can about baby making / ovulation!

Have felt a bit bloated for the past couple of days and a few stomach pains, but I think that might have been food related rather than anything to do with ovulation.

navis176 Thu 14-Feb-13 17:35:06

lisba - I think it's quite easy to miss the LH surge - I tend to use opks around 5pm - I think the LH builds up during the day and I find that time works best for me for getting an obvious positive

Have just realised there's every possibility my bfp is due beginning of march so am going to straddle this bus and the feb bus.
Quietninjatardis ttc2 cycle 9 bfp due 1st march I think.
Hi everyone <waves>

Dreamstoreality Thu 14-Feb-13 18:31:47

Also using Boots ovulation strips and not getting a positive. Now on day 13 of 26 day cycle and tested on the 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 day of cycle. Always get a line in the control window but nothing in the test window.

If I don't get BFP this month will invest in the smiley face ones next month.

Springbells Thu 14-Feb-13 20:32:03

Hi quiet (waves back)! Good to see you. loves how exciting, wedding to plan for. Good distraction from the 2ww!

chocoloulou33 Thu 14-Feb-13 21:57:10

Hey everyone. Happy valentines day. Boo hiss that my OH had to go play darts then is at work. Have told him to wake me up in morning as we didn't barely see each other 2day so did not dtd!!! Another -ve ov test for me 2day though. Cd 14 soo annoying! X

barebranches Fri 15-Feb-13 07:05:13

hi everyone just checking in been sitting quietly at the back of the bus.
entering sex week wink now!!
grin

deliasmithy Fri 15-Feb-13 08:49:25

I'm on cd 14, using cbfm with cb sticks.
Nothing detected as yet. I also check the sticks myself and concur with the machine. On mine, when you get the 2nd line, it'd be hard to miss, though it's not as bright as first line.

The last 3 cycles began to peak for me cd17 onward so not panicking yet.

Malteaser1982 Fri 15-Feb-13 09:50:29

Hi bare try to keep the noise down on back of the bus now you are in sex week smile happy shagging lol.
delia am waiting for my + ov test too. Cd 15 here.
Hello malteaser welcome aboard & cheers for the wine I stopped taking pill last year too. In july. This is my 6 month of ttc#2 as we didn't try straight away. Wishing u loads of luck smile xx

chocoloulou33 Fri 15-Feb-13 11:07:02

Forgot to say thanks for updating the list. I have trouble doing it on my phone.
Oh I used concieve plus for first time this morning. What weird stuff that is hmm

Thatssofunny Fri 15-Feb-13 11:28:27

I'll just quietly sit at the back of the bus...hope that's ok. smile I ov late in my cycle (usually day 16-18). Got smiley face day before yesterday. We dtd both yesterday and the day before, so hoping something will come of it. Not yet getting my hopes up, though.
Got ConceivePlus as well, but currently prefer Preseed, because I can measure out the amount I want to use with the applicator.

Thatssofunny, TTC #1, cycle 14, AF/BFP due 28th Feb/1st March

navis176 Fri 15-Feb-13 12:14:11

My oh has put a ban on conceive plus - he hates it

gillian1986 Fri 15-Feb-13 12:24:40

Hi bus chums! Busy week and I forgot I was on this bus grin lol

My brother in law proposed to his girlfriend yesterday... They have a 1 year old little boy already. So happy for them but now I'm desperate to make my own announcement!

Weng out for v-day meal with hubby last night and we are both v excited about TTC and having a baby so that's good.

Having only come off the pill recently I'm a bit out of touch with my cycle and not sure where I am. We dtd when I THINK I was ovulating. AF due in a weeks time.

I'm in 2 frames of mind right now

1) hoping AF doesn't come, take a test... BFP!

2) AF comes+goes so we can crack on with DTD as much as poss next month!!!

Haha we'll see! grin

Sorelip Fri 15-Feb-13 15:23:42

gillian1986 I'm in the same boat, I've just come off of the pill and I'm waiting for my cycles to go back to normal. I haven't had a normal cycle in sooo long!

navis176 I hate it, but use it anyway. I swear they've changed the formula, it used to be a lot runnier.

I'm on CD8 now, and time seems to be going at a snails pace - I want this month to hurry the hell up! DS is being very cute, which is only making the broodiness worse.

Good luck to all those in their shagging weeks grin

MotherOfCleo Fri 15-Feb-13 15:54:37

hi ladies, nice to see some new faces (waves).
Im being rubbish this month! Its ov week and we didnt dtd on wed but i guess we did each other day, was hoping to dtd this morning but OH said no sad
On the plus side Im taking extra b6 and feel so much more chilled and relaxed, did say to the OH we cant make a baby if we dont have enough sex.....doh. To be fair I guess dtd 7 times so far on cd16 isnt too bad, FX he has long living sperm lol.

chocoloulou33 Fri 15-Feb-13 19:18:14

cleo sure u dtd plenty of times hun. I got my +ve opk 2day woooo at last so will be dtd 2nite b4 OH goes to work! X

dondon33 Fri 15-Feb-13 19:54:25

Mmm I like oreo's smile

I'm in! Technically AF should come around 26/27 of this month but IF she's late I'm going to try my best not to test until early March.

I'm ttc #4 for me and #1 for dp,
this is our first month of seriously calculated trying,
We're trying to follow Dr Shettles method for one of the blue variety (Dp's request) but it doesn't really matter - health is more important.
The final deposit of swimmers have been sent in today - so we're done for this month ;)
Let the waiting and hoping, the symptom spotting (but absolutely not testing nor convincing myself) and the paranoia commence hmm

Good luck to everyone x

lisbapalea Fri 15-Feb-13 21:03:23

Hi all,
Am probably being over-sensitive with symptom spotting, and not sure if these are signs of ovulation or (very) early PG anyway:
Stonking headache lasting all day (although has gone this evening)
Sore boobs
Bloated tummy - like bad trapped wind (sorry!).
Any ideas? Am I just over analysing?
Haven't managed to DTD as much as hoped this week - DD joined us in bed last night which prevented any early morning action (usually our most successful time of day!). Fingers crossed we can make up for it tonight/this weekend. Am on CD12 and half way through cycle so am hoping I'm still in with a chance?

Bubblegum78 Fri 15-Feb-13 21:52:31

I'm in!

Hi Ladies! Hoping for a BFP in March (1st)

xx

Pixie001 Sat 16-Feb-13 00:36:37

Right ladies, I need your advice...
Dh seems to be having issues with keeping his flag raised iykwim. I was hoping we'd manage to dtd before he headed off on his work trip but we tried on wed (my birthday) and thurs morn but now he feels he has a problem it seems to be making it worse. He was really sad bless him. I think pressure's getting to him coz he know how much I'd love dc.
What do I do?

katerinaemalina Sat 16-Feb-13 07:39:46

Hello well I got a bfp.....and then another chem preg. Feeling pretty crappy if I'm honest. Going to go see my gp to see if there is anything wrong. Has anyone else had thus? Thus is the second time it's happened. I tested again thur as still no period (though not sure when due) and bfp 1-2 weeks. Then got AF early thus morning. hmmGoing to come off march bus think just need to see whats going on good luck to you all xx

honey86 Sat 16-Feb-13 08:14:46

7dpo today... hope every1s well x

honey86 Sat 16-Feb-13 08:17:01

good luck kat x

Sorelip Sat 16-Feb-13 10:10:06

I'm sorry kat, that's really crappy. Best of luck finding out what is going on.

Pixie, has he only had a problem since you started TTC?

barebranches Sat 16-Feb-13 20:43:31

just purchased my first box of internet cheapies!! spent a fortune last month!

Looking forward to testing week! (only just starting shagging week! hehe)

Pixie001 Sun 17-Feb-13 00:17:04

sorelip yep, only since ttc. It's happened over last couple mths and now he thinks it's a problem it's worse as he's thinking and worrying about it. Not sure of right things to say to stop the downward spiral and make it better. I just always thought we'd dtd whenever required, never imagined this kinda issue

Good luck to all those in shag week. Dh is still away so desprately trying to cling on to my egg. Maybe things will be better when he's back and had a break.

deliasmithy Sun 17-Feb-13 00:48:03

It's the beginning of shag week here.
Writing this from a hotel room - had booked a romantic night and dinner at hotel with OH but so far complete disaster!
I forgot half of my belongings, OH started an argument during the main course, OH then over-ate and so immediately fell asleep back in the room leaving me to watch movie on my own. He is now snoring away, having killed the evening.
So frustrated!

dondon33 Sun 17-Feb-13 07:55:16

Hi all smile
So sorry Kat and good luck with the GP. x

Pixie - is it possible you could keep him out of things, like not mention you're testing, ovulation etc... Obviously still monitor yourself and when the time's right seduce him. Maybe he won't realise at first, probably will after the 3rd consecutive day smile but by then you'll have lots of swimmers.
Going a bit deeper nowblush - what if you just gave him a BJ or HJ sometimes and at his point of no return - jump on him to collect the goods? maybe it would help take the performance pressure off. I know it's far from romantic but sometimes needs must!

Delia - Oh no! sorry your night didn't go as planned and your OH killed the evening - make him pay for it today and tell him you need a double dose, he should have enough energy after being a little piggy to complete his punishment grin

Good luck all in shag week and those in the 2ww x

honey86 Sun 17-Feb-13 09:03:25

8dpo with another rise in temp and tingly boobs. but still in the first 2ww since coming off the pill so im not going to make any assumptions...

hows everyone doing? xx

honey86 Sun 17-Feb-13 09:05:08

aww delia what a typical male hmm hand him the hoover and sentence him to housework xxxx

chocoloulou33 Sun 17-Feb-13 09:37:21

Ah pixie how frustrating for you. Great advice from dondon though. Its just the pressure of it all. You've gotta leave him out of all the ttc stuff. So difficult though. Rly hope things improve.
delia omg u must have been fuming! No chance for some cheeky morning bd'ing?!
Good luck to everyone else who's ovulating! I've had 2 +opk's so b'ding every night atm! Def more than we have on previous months! X

MotherOfCleo Sun 17-Feb-13 10:19:25

hey ladies, yeah dons advice is sound, fx for you.
choc fx for you too! wink
We've been rubbish this month, had 2 days off during ov week....doubt that bodes well! The extra vit b6 is defo helping this month though, I feel so calm and have a much better attitude smile a very much what will be will be type feeling, I think my chances this month are slim which sucks as Ive put in the time with all the vits both me and the OH have been taking, but we were crap as the sex part, never gonna make a baby without sex lol.
FX for everyone! grin

Ariel21 Sun 17-Feb-13 10:41:56

Hello everyone! AF has arrived so I'm off the Feb bus and straight into this one! This time I've got cupcakes and tea, in china cups. Flowery ones. Let's make March a lucky one!

If there is a list:
Ariel TTC#1 Cycle 2 BFP due 20 March

dondon33 Sun 17-Feb-13 11:12:10

Cupcakes! did you say cupcakes? Mmmm <is first at the door to greet you while eyeing your wares> smile
Welcome and good luck for March Ariel

I'm going to go all TMI now but if it helps any of you then it's worth it smile

So Dp and I are attempting to follow Dr Shettles advice to conceive a boy (dp really) and one of his pieces of advice is for the woman to orgasm after the sperm is deposited ( this alone won't give you all a boy)
Anyway, I tried this on our last go of the month and lay still afterwards for around 1 hour and.....something strange, it does seem to suck up ALL of the sperm smile Usually after DTD as soon as I stand then 'it's' running down my legs (told you tmi!) and feels like more has ran out than actually what went in. It's been 2/3 days since we last dtd and only NOW!!! is it beginning to come back out.
Possibly I have a cervix of steel and once I've sucked it up there it's held hostage but I doubt it- it's worth a try don't you think?

MotherOfCleo Sun 17-Feb-13 12:03:53

don ive noticed the same sort of thing, when we dtd before bed and then I lay with my legs in the air for 30 mins before going straight to sleep I dont have any leakage overnight or in the morning. The morning quickies which I prefer have far more leakage as I cant lay down for more than about 10-15 mins afterwards. Lets hope those extra swimmers help get the bfp grin

LondonSuperTrooper Sun 17-Feb-13 12:05:57

Hi everyone

Please count me in! I'm on CD5. This is my TTC #3. I'm hoping for a BFP around 13 March.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Pixie001 Sun 17-Feb-13 12:11:04

Thanks ladies, good advice. I do share way too much ttc info with dh...but then he does ask me when shag time is!! But then I also tell him about all the issues people have ttc i have literally googled just about everything which has prob not helped and got him worrying. I think I need to apply the brakes a little and slow things down so that we're not obsessing even if I am a crazy loon behind the scenes to you ladies!!.
cleo I've been on b6 this cycle, I think on your recommendation! Hoping it sorts my cycles out a little. Sounds like you've done pretty well over ov and choc well done on your shagathon.
dondon I thought it was a bit silly throwing legs in air but have to agree it does seem to keep the little fellas up there! Interesting about the orgasm front but wud find it difficult trying to time these kinda things if when they happen
I haven't got +opk yet which is good, hope it can wait another couple days til dh back. Normally arrives today so shall see.

Pixie001 Sun 17-Feb-13 12:36:11

<Wave crazily to newcomers>. Hope this is your month, sorry if you've fallen off feb bus and excited for all those just starting the ttc journey! I have some birthday cake leftover - anyone want some?

dondon33 Sun 17-Feb-13 13:33:25

Shhhh! Aw God damn don't tell me there's Bday cake too, somebody please wire my jaw although oreos, cupcake and birthday cake sound quite nice in a blender smile Says she who has been eliminating as much added sugar as possible over the last 6 months. Think I'm just having a mega craving for some.
So Yes please Pixie I'll settle for a virtual slice smile

Mother I'm hoping so smile

Hi London good luck to you x

Pixie If you're not blush or dh takes too long then DIY the orgasm after the deed has been done.

chocoloulou33 Sun 17-Feb-13 19:04:13

-ve ov test 2day so yey I guess I'm ovulating 2day as had positive yesterday & day b4. I've ovulated later than usual so will expect af/bfp later too. Sooo am in the 2ww wooo x

OiBlin Sun 17-Feb-13 21:02:09

Hi all, I'd love to hop on the bus please! Just fallen off the feb bus... Very new to this but thinking positive thoughts for all aboard smile

I'm OiBlin, 31, ttc #1, af/bfp 12th March and this will just be cycle 2 (was a patient person up to 2 weeks ago but that virtue fell off the feb bus with me and got run over!)xxx

navis176 Sun 17-Feb-13 22:00:54

hi Oiblin

honey86 Sun 17-Feb-13 22:10:58

waves to new passengers
march BFPs are the way forward ladies, they are so this cycle wink

Pixie001 Sun 17-Feb-13 23:03:05

grin at dondon...I shall enjoy experimenting with that one!

<Sigh> weigh in day and have managed to gain 2lbs over my birthday week. Not gonna hit target of half stone loss by end feb at this rate. Have only lost 3lb now, rubbish! so hit gym this morning. I have 4lbs to lose in 10 days.

I only got round to using opk really late tonight, does this make it invalid? It was -ve and i know you're ideally meant to use them when hormones peak during the day.

Also, any ideas on how to delay ov? I just need to last a couple more days til dh home but I already have ov pains!!

QueenofClean Mon 18-Feb-13 06:38:56

Hi Ladies,

I'll be falling off the feb bus am just waiting for AF to arrive. 3 days late and BFN this morning. Will be due AF around 15-18 March!

TTC#3 Cycle 2 Age 30

<Grabs seat, offers hobnobs around & cup of Mint hot chocolate>

LondonSuperTrooper Mon 18-Feb-13 07:01:45

Thanks for the welcome and starts munching on hobnobs........

Due to my previous history in TTC, my GP has booked me for a scan to check my tubes as well as an internal examination. Has anyone had the internal examination? What are they looking for and is it uncomfortable. In addition I'm also having day 21 blood tests. I'm feeling positive this month!

QueenofClean Mon 18-Feb-13 07:20:12

London - a transvaginal scan doesn't hurt it's just uncomfortable and they do that to check your uterus for things that you may not be able to see with an abdominal scan. Hth

padster75 Mon 18-Feb-13 07:23:25

Morning,

Yep I am still on the bus (was having a snooze on the bag rack in case you were wondering about the bulge).

Approaching OV time, so we know what that means. DH slowly learning about this small window of fun ......... bless, if only I had a penis to worry about.

Wedding anniversary tomorrow ............ guess what we're doing??

............. Yep, that's right, those of you who said 'Donating a pint of blood' give yourselves a pat on the back!!

Have a good one & hi to all the newbies

Pixie001 Mon 18-Feb-13 08:46:09

pads ha ha, who said romance was dead... Can't wait to hear what you did on valentine's...

LondonSuperTrooper Mon 18-Feb-13 09:54:11

So sorry... not sure what happened to my post, so I've just re-posted it above.

SpanishLady Mon 18-Feb-13 09:55:43

can finally feel like I am ttc - we dtd for the first time this weekend since my MC - it was lovely to dtd for no other reason then to do it! I believe I may have ovulated Weds/Thurs of last week so am hoping for a period to start next week then its OPKs time and fx. My DH bless him was a bit anxious but I felt it was important that when we start dtd again it wasnt stressful and about trying to get pg again. - as you might imagine we are both trying not to worry about if I will struggle to conceive again or if I do conceive having another MC.

I know its abit mental but I'd like to have a baby in 2013 and March is my last chance or definitely be pregnant bythe time of my original due date (8 Sept) - but frankly I'd take any time now.

doesnt it feel like Spring is really close?!!!

LondonSuperTrooper Mon 18-Feb-13 09:57:51

Queen thanks for your explanation. I didn't ask the GP any questions regarding the internal scan as I was in shock at finally getting my tubes to be looked at smile

I should have mentioned previously that I TTC #2 2 years ago for 10 cycles and miscarried at 9 weeks but knew things weren't quite right at 6 weeks. And I'm also rapidly approaching my 40th birthday and so pleased that my GP is being proactive and addressing my concerns.

honey86 Mon 18-Feb-13 10:56:26

ive had a transvaginal scan before when i was 5 weeks preg with dd. felt really uncomfortable, like have a huge plastic dildo push in there blush i was more embarrassed than hurt lol i felt pressure down there as it scanned against my cervix. it sounds worse than it is smile good luck x

dondon33 Mon 18-Feb-13 11:43:24

Hi to all the new passengers <WAVES>

Yeah Honey I find it more blush than painful too, especially that awkward moment after it's picked up <and the condom expertly applied> smile but such is life, anything to do with our lady parts and we must forget about dignity/embarrassment blush

Don't worry London it's done quite quickly there's a little jiggling it around as it's pointed left and right to view your tubes and ovaries but nothing too bad. During the last one I had my Gynae could even see that I'd recently ov'd and from which side, which I was pleased to know as I was there for a MOT of sorts before starting TTC.

I love it Padster -*bless, if only I had a penis to worry about* so very very truesmile
Happy shagging in your 'window of fun' Good luck.

Pixie on one brand of OPK's I had it says I could test between 10am - 22.00 but I try to do it usually between 3-5pm so have never tested that late myself.
Another brand said until 20.00 so unsure confused

Best of luck Queen and Spanish x

I'm more convinced today that my body doesn't like sperm!! I kid you not shock
Usually, under normal, non-ttc circumstances I don't like it being deposited inside me - it makes me itch, uncomfortable etc....
Now obviously ttc we've sent what feels like bucket loads in there with the main objective being to keep it in.
Since yesterday I'm feeling very bloated in my womb area, more on one side and like a cramping feeling but not as bad as ov/af.
Usually after ov I'm fine and have no symptoms of af until maybe 1/2 days before she arrives (I've still got around 9 days to go) - so the spermies are getting the blame smile

gillian1986 Mon 18-Feb-13 12:20:54

Popping in to say hello! I'm on nightshifts today and tomorrow so in bed watching tv at the moment and will try and get some more sleep this afternoon before starting work at 7pm.

AF due on Thursday (ish). Not quite sure where my cycles are after coming off the pill so chances are it won't be Thursday but we'll see.

So tempted to test today... Have had lots of symptoms for the last week or so but I'm trying to resist until I'm late at least!

AF due around Thursday so planning to test next Thursday if AF hasn't come by then.

Really want a baby in 2013 so I guess match is our last chance!!!!!

dondon33 Mon 18-Feb-13 12:41:56

Hi gillian good luck!

I'm hoping probably against hope that I'll fall this first cycle - due to the fact I DON'T want to be heavily pregnant in the winter smile It's horrendous here where I live and kicks in properly in Jan/Feb time so if I could choose - I'd like to give birth nov/early dec - probs won't work that way though smile What will be, will be!

MotherOfCleo Mon 18-Feb-13 13:51:16

well currently I'm 5dpo and I feel good, none of the usual 2ww anxiety, plus I have no spotting (the last 2 cycles Ive had spotting) so i hope my extra b6 is doing its job.....fx!!! fx something more exciting is happening with sperm and egg too but I dont actually think we dtd enough this month!

Loving the spring sunshine, all my plants are in bud, it makes me grin

honey86 Mon 18-Feb-13 14:13:26

tbh don i think i lost my dignity with each child i had, now its starting to be more of a 'lets get these legs open and get this ting done' jobbie lol

sounds positive motherofcleo smile im distracted already at 9dpo. i had a bad nights sleep last night, woke up at 3am, took temp, discovered a .3 temp dip and sleepily googled 'implantation dip' blush went back to sleep, woke up at 7, retook temp,
recorded-down-highest-tempsad

feel slightly annoyed at myself for winding myself up already

dondon33 Mon 18-Feb-13 16:32:46

Me too honey With the first I was a little blush and shockbut by the time my 3rd arrived I don't think I'd of been too bothered if they'd asked me give birth in the car park smile
Now in any situation that involves my lady garden - I've pretty much done the 'knee's together, drop em and relax' action wayyy before I'm asked to do so smile blush

I'm 4/5 dpo and refuse to symptom spot- I don't temp so don't have that distraction. I am having a few unusual signs (as mentioned above but the spermies could be the little culprit's) and the other's could just as easy be related to post-ov/ pre-af but this month I'm more aware/sensitive to them.
<I will stay strong.....I want to stay strong ......I hope I stay strong smile >

honey86 Mon 18-Feb-13 17:51:49

i hope you stay strong too, cos i clearly havent phaha grin ive been testing daily for the last few days to see if any shadows appear blush next month ill try and have some restraint x

theboob Mon 18-Feb-13 19:26:36

hello all and welcome to everybody else !
well still no AF here for me , thats no period since december and almost 3 weeks since implant removed .....what the hell is going on ? i've no idea where i am in my cycle and all opk's are negative

really pissed off sad

dondon33 Mon 18-Feb-13 19:45:22

honey- Thankyou! ask me again when I get to dpo12/13 I've a feeling my 'strength' will be all but gone by then smile

theboob so sorry, I don't have any words of wisdom regarding how long after the implant, I've never had one but I hope all returns to normal ASAP for you.
Out of interest- how long is it supposed to/can it take?

honey86 Mon 18-Feb-13 19:55:28

we'll see, we'll see grin

theboob i had the implant a couple times, and normally took bout 2 months to get preg after, the first af arriving a few weeks after removal... sit tight im sure youll find out what your bodys doing soon xx

MotherOfCleo Mon 18-Feb-13 20:14:01

don i'm about 6dpo, we can be cycle buddies smile I'll try and stop you symptom spotting if you stop me getting negative wink

barebranches Mon 18-Feb-13 20:18:47

hey all
hope every one is good on the bus.

im so annoyed. im in sex week and im ill. have the most un sexy cough/ cold sad hope it passes quickly... sad sad

MotherOfCleo Mon 18-Feb-13 20:54:12

get well soon bare! On the plus side an I cant believe Im saying this! but if you're taking an anti mucous cough medicine it can help improve your CM.....every cloud and all that lol wink

theboob Mon 18-Feb-13 21:15:14

I've had the implant for 13 years and had it out for each child , always had a bleed after removel .......i hate waiting grin

dondon33 Mon 18-Feb-13 21:32:58

Ah so you're a veteran at it then theboob I can understand your desire for a bleed now if it's happened quickly before, it has to happen so fingers crossed it's very soon for you.

mother yes! that sounds like good team work smile

Hi bare Oh no, not a good time to be ill, wishing you a speedy recovery.
How would your OH feel if you kept your back to him (fab position for sperm) while you'd already slyly packed your nose with loo roll (can be quickly removed before the post coitus cuddles) smile
Mother makes a good relevant point too ;)

barebranches Mon 18-Feb-13 22:47:17

oohh dondon good idea althougj my hacking cough is a bit of a turn off... i sound like an 80 year old man who has smoked 40 a day.... sigh....

padster75 Tue 19-Feb-13 07:53:16

Today is our wedding anniversary, chances of making it 3/3 deposits are slim as we're giving blood this evening!! We know how to live in the fast lane!!

pixie valentines was a non-starter as hubby working 200+ miles away. We really are the last of the romantics!!

<passes round my special hot toddies for anyone feeling yak> <<they may be lethal, but I can assure you at the very least you wont give a monkeys wink

honey86 Tue 19-Feb-13 08:13:30

awww padster well done for giving blood, a precious gift indeed. i was going to do that but hasnt been long since my last tattoo x

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 19-Feb-13 09:53:12

Padster I'm impressed giving blood. I can't do it myself. I hate needles and thinking of giving away my blood makes be feel faint. OH keeps reminding me there is needles involved with pregnancy. Isn't he a dear!

I'm in my first month and I imagine this is the funnist week of the process. We have DTD more this week than probably the last couple of months. OH doesn't know what hit him. Although now I'm going away for 3 days (just at the important time too) so hope we have done enough (don't really expect it work first time). But still FX

Hey everyone

I'm a bit worried cos I've got my day21 test on Friday (which is cd24) as I have ovulated around the cd19 for past couple of months. But this month I had what felt like ovulation pain last fri and loads of cm on sat fat good that was as I was away visiting a friend so I'm not sure how accurate it'll be now. We dtd thurs and sun so have prob completely missed ovulation this month hmm I think my body might hate me!

dondon33 Tue 19-Feb-13 13:40:11

Hi quiet
I had mine done on CD19 which was around 5 days after ov and my result was good enough even though when done correctly it should be 7dpo.
If you think your ov was last fri -15/2/13? and you're getting tested 22/2 then that's good - it's perfect timing.

DTD thurs = alive spermies already waiting for your egg smile
DTD Sun = Egg possibly (hopefully) still alive depending at what time on friday it popped out.
Don't count yourself out yet, fingers crossed x
I'm ttc - cycle 1 too and not expecting it to work 1st try neither - currently dpo 5/6 and feeling hopeful.

Thanks dondon. I'm not feeling hopeful as each month is a disappointment for me. This months a bit different in that if I come on then I have the day 1-4 blood test so at least something's going to be happening even if its not pregnancy.

dondon33 Tue 19-Feb-13 18:01:47

Oh sorry I thought I read it was your 1st month TTC Quiet
I'm still thinking positive for you but yes, IF af comes then the tests are positive steps to check what's going on, if anything.

padster I missed your post earlier..... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
and well done for giving blood, I have donated a few times in the UK (coming very close to needing a transfusion myself pushed me to do it)
I don't live in the UK now though and I'm not sure of the rules/regulations in this country about donating.

deliasmithy Tue 19-Feb-13 20:06:52

Hello all,
I thought I wrote a follow up to my hotel saga but can't see it. So, this is where I'm at:
OH continued to be an idiot next morning but managed to resolve and dtd Sunday and Monday.
As I forgot sticks at weekend I'm missing info on Sunday, but Monday and today were high. Evening off to recharge tonight and I'm still at work. Fingers crossed I get a peak tomorrow but might have missed it. Two darts on the dart board isn't that great. Five and I'd be happy.

barebranches Tue 19-Feb-13 21:12:02

hey all
hope everyones doing well. cabt wait till march!
still feel so ill but managed to DTD last night. planning on tomorrow too. Ovulate friday. we shall see.
thanks for the ill sex tips!! wink

Dreamstoreality Tue 19-Feb-13 21:23:50

How early have you ladies had symptoms??

According to my days app I should have ovulated on 13th Feb although boots opk never showed a positive result. AF /BFP due 28th Feb or 1st March.

This evening I can not stop running to the loo so either I have a UTI (although no pain or burning) or very early symptoms?!?! My previous 2 pregnancies (mc x2) had this symptom 2 days before AF due along with hyper sensitive sense of smell..

Is this too early to have symptoms???

Lol dondon I missed that! How come you've had tests if this is your first cycle?
Delia sperms can hang around for a few days so fx you'll be fine.
Dreams I have no idea how early you can get symptoms but I've imagined every symptom going ttc number 2 and yet had no symptoms at all with ds apart from missed period and then the sickness hit at 6 and a half weeks. Some people do get them early don't they.

Pixie001 Wed 20-Feb-13 07:39:27

Yay yay yay! Dh came back yest and dtd last night and flag stayed up! grin dh so pleased with himself.
As part of my new outwardly chilled self I managed to not say anything ttc related. +opk was couple days ago but knew we were going to miss this mth. Just relieved we managed to dtd

QueenofClean Wed 20-Feb-13 07:54:34

Still no AF this should be last day of my period (day 6) poas this morning BFN. So not sure what's going on.

Hi Ladies, not been on for a while been so busy! How is everyone? I ov'd yesterday (I think) been dtd every other day. Feeling positive this month smile

Ariel21 Wed 20-Feb-13 08:18:03

Think AF has buggered off now so looking forward to getting on it for another month (so is husband luckily). Think he was quite relieved I didn't get pregnant first try, as is enjoying himself! Happy shagging this week peeps. eats cupcake

honey86 Wed 20-Feb-13 08:24:21

aw good news pixie smile bless him x

QueenofClean Wed 20-Feb-13 10:38:20

AF has arrived only 6 days late! so I'm fallen off the feb bus. Roll on making a Nov baby wink

dondon33 Wed 20-Feb-13 12:03:44

Quiet I had tests done as part of a pre-pregnancy MOT as it's been a long time since my last child and I've had a few health probs in between. It helped that I don't live in the UK - I have private ins so can pretty much have what the hell I want, when I want smile
Technically this is the first month of calculated trying - but prior to that we've not used contraception for ages but obviously haven't hit the jackpot

Aww No! Queen hope the evil witch leaves asap and you can get back to business ;)

Good luck to all Dtd and those waiting x

honey86 Wed 20-Feb-13 12:42:10

aww queen sadat least you know whats what now though xx fx x

Pixie001 Wed 20-Feb-13 14:41:50

Hello loves! Good work, how long dpo will you keep dtd for?
dondon a pre-ttc MOT sounds like a great idea! Shame they don't do it on nhs as a normal thing
Sorry to hear that queen <passes hot water bottle>
Thanks honey it's such a relief, just hope it keeps going like this and he doesn't go doubting himself!

QueenofClean Wed 20-Feb-13 14:50:29

Thanks everyone <grabs hot water bottle & paracetamol>

Pre-TTC Mot sounds good. Where in the world are you? Stateside?

DH won't know what's hit him when this period has finished lol! Will take him back to when we conceived DD2 - we were lucky then as we caught on first month.

dondon33 Wed 20-Feb-13 15:28:23

You put your feet up Queen and get that hot water bottle working I hate cramp I'm in Poland.
Lmao at your Dh comment - feed him well, plenty protein, he's going to need it smile

Pixie I know, I find it a bit redic at how long some couples have to wait before being sent for the even the most basic of investigations.
I was also getting a bit hmm about my age as I reach the dreaded oh my god you want a baby now grand old age of 35 this year smile and wanted to make sure I was fit enough inside and out (hence the gynae appt and trans vag scans)
So because I have a dp who is studying advanced biology at the mo - along with all the health and hormone tests I had done. his paranoia ensured I also now know that I'm still immune to rubella, not immune to toxoplasmosis nor do I currently have it and have no immunity to any hepatitis virus confused smile
I noticed here in Poland, while there are young mums, there's a higher percentage of first time mums around my age and many above and the Dr's in general are totally not concerned about the age thing, not at my age anyway.

dondon33 Wed 20-Feb-13 15:46:26

Forgive me bus buddies for I have today, just now in fact, sinned

I swore to myself I wouldn't bloody symptom spot but.......
TMI sorry - from waking up this morning I was quite crampy then had diarrohea, it continued a few times but I'm feeling a bit better now. I know it's nothing I've eaten and that it's not a stomach bug as I don't feel ill with it and I NEVER get just 'it' alone.
Technically I didn't intend to symptom spot but I typed in google
' can ttc cause diarrohea?' or something like that... and it came up about how it's an overlooked symptom of very early pregnancy shock I so wasn't expecting that.
I'm still going to try and forget I've read it but just wanted to confess.

barebranches Wed 20-Feb-13 17:30:16

*wakes up at back of bus
Coughs and splutters... complains... grabs tissues and passes out*

sad

Pixie001 Wed 20-Feb-13 20:31:21

dondon leave google alone! Ha ha, way too tempting to symptom spot. Obviously I do hope diarrohea's a good sign for you tho smile. In cycle 1 I convinced myself that thrush meant I was pg... Was so suprised and gutted when af arrived!

dondon33 Wed 20-Feb-13 21:06:35

It wasn't an intentional symptom spotting mission Pixie I swear. I thought I'd google to see if I'd...--not sure what I thought actually-- maybe overdosed with sperm or something? smile too much penis is maybe bad for your bowel?? smile smile I swear I'm not using Dr Google any more.
Aww boo! to thrush tricking you too.

< Passes some soft delicate kleenex and some vicks to Bare and helps her to her nice comfy bed>

barebranches Wed 20-Feb-13 21:12:40

thanks Dondon... very grateful for the soft tissues.. the kitchen roll was chaffing my nose.

cant smell the vicks!!! cant taste chocolate.... all pleasure in life is gone...sad

there will be no DTD tonight... just hope earlier on in the week was enough....

honey86 Wed 20-Feb-13 21:15:06

ive tried hard not to be so paranoid today hasnt worked
but been abit distracted since this afternoon, dd had a scan cos of recurrent urine infections, and i got a call today to say shes got a kidney defect and gotta see a paediatric specialist... something to do with her tubes being too narrow and sending urine back the wrong way... and she has a bladder infection too... so havent been on much of today. hope every1s cool xx

dondon33 Wed 20-Feb-13 21:33:34

Oh so sorry honey hope your dd is ok. I hope it's something that can be fixed, monitored, grown out of. Take care x

No worries bare kleenex rule when your nose is sore. Hope you feel better soon x

honey86 Wed 20-Feb-13 23:10:44

she should be ok, just gotta give her more antibiotics til she sees the specialist. i was told it could cause kidney failure if untreated but hopefully we found it early as poss.

thanx tho fx to al x x

dondon33 Thu 21-Feb-13 02:54:32

It's always a worry isn't it when they're ill and here we are planning to add more of them to worry about smile
Hope the specialist appointment hurries through for her and you, take care x

honey86 Thu 21-Feb-13 07:47:59

lol thats so true grin

morning ladies..

12dpo.. tested this morning with yet another internet cheapie after last nights one came up with a faint line and..........<drumroll>.......... bfn hmm

deliasmithy Thu 21-Feb-13 10:20:07

Day 4 of cbfm saying high! I think it's missed it in there somewhere, as I felt mild cramps Tues.
Unfortunately no more darts trying to get the.bullseye - I picked up that lovely winter vomiting bug, OH working 7am til midnight at mo.
My bets are on a bfn.

setayharas Thu 21-Feb-13 10:30:02

hey everyone. had a bit of a break off here. just thought id update. finally be referred and on the waiting list for a lap.

so for the time being we are organising our wedding for next april and concentrating on that and not making a baby. atleast until we know the situation with my insides.

so il shall be taking a break from here for a lil while. good luck to you all and i hope that the next time i visit this site i dont see any of you still on here

honey86 Thu 21-Feb-13 12:47:00

aww s sorry to hear that... fingers crossed it works out xx

Pixie001 Thu 21-Feb-13 12:54:13

delia sorry to hear you're poorly. That thing is really terrible, hope you recover quickly. Flippin heck, they're long hrs for you OH! 4 days does seem quite a long time, I thought those things were meant to make it clearer not more confusing! At least you got poorly now rather than a few days ago...so there's a chance you may have hit the bullseye!
honey hope antibiotics help your dd and that it's not long before specialist appt. I don't know too much about temps but it's not over til it's over so they say!
setay pleased to hear you have your referral and hope appt comes thru quickly. Enjoy organising your wedding, wish you and df all the best. X

SpanishLady Thu 21-Feb-13 16:58:11

finally have a date to poas - 27th Feb!!

honey86 Thu 21-Feb-13 18:13:16

good luck spanish lady smile x

PistachioTruffle Thu 21-Feb-13 19:39:40

Evening all, hope those who've been under the weather are feeling better!

I'm having no discernible symptoms, AF due sometime between next Tuesday and next Thursday. Can't help feeling its not my month again!

Is anyone else finding themselves drawn to baby shops? I keep having the urge to go and coo at all the tiny clothes, but I think I'll probably make myself feel worse!

honey86 Thu 21-Feb-13 20:05:47

meeee pistachio! all the cute lil tights n shoes n mittens sad
me and dp got distracted with the prams in toys'r'us and testdrove them about blush

PistachioTruffle Thu 21-Feb-13 20:16:31

Haha @ Honey86 grin

I wouldn't be guilty of meandering through the baby department of John Lewis on the way to the loos and having an experimental drive of a pram, oh no. I also wouldn't see a shop assistant approaching and quickly scarper before she asks me when my non-existent baby is due! Not me, no siree. Ahem wink

Pixie001 Thu 21-Feb-13 22:04:50

honey and pistachio you just need to 'borrow' a baby like me! I have a friend lives round corner and I take her ds out shopping pretending he's mine <sigh> I'm ttc #1 btw, feel envious of those of you who already have dc to shop for

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 08:49:54

haha grin this made me LoL. its sad but its soo true... the things we do... we were actually discussing which one would fold up better to go in my little car boot.
is amazin how baby stuff has changed since i last had a baby... bottle shapes, bpa-free this-and-that , and techno baby monitors... 4 years ago it was a lightup tomy one. now its sensor mats n mini cctv lol

13dpo today my temps still above coverline but still bfn. kinda frustrated cos it dropped yesterday and i thought af would come but still nothing.. it wouldve ment no bfp but at least id have known what my bodys doing now hmm

back to waiting

DogandBeth Fri 22-Feb-13 09:24:22

Hello is there any room on the bus for me? I don't mind where I sit, long as I'm on it. Currently ttc #3, hoping for a bpf early march (not sure exactly when as this is the first month I've had an af since having dc2 (so this is cycle 1) reckon about 6 march maybe (not been very scientific about it this month) ttc always does my head in a bit so it's good to read that I'm not alone. Wishing you all lots of good luck x

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 10:31:26

morning dogandbeth smile welcome aboard!

i have 3 myself, ttc #4.. also on the paranoid obsessive testing bus wink

ELA88 Fri 22-Feb-13 10:37:26

Hey girlies! Haven't posted on this thread yet but was just reading about you looking at baby clothes and testing prams! I was out yesterday and found I had wandered away from DH into the baby section and was looking at whole nursery sets...then thought to myself I am clearly losing my marbles a little! But I'm so glad others do it too! I just hope no one asks me when I'm due as I haven't got that far yet! Xxx

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:15:27

my excuse is 'im going to a baby shower soon' grin haha x

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:20:28

Good morning Ladies!
Hello and welcome to new passengers smile
Hope everyone's well.

setay - best of luck with the referral and in the future x

Ooh honey it's so close for you, I'm excited and have my fx for you.
Talking about how baby things have changed shock OMG! it's been almost 14 years since I was last with child and it's honestly like my first time when I see some of the gadgets available today. I have sneaky peaks at the babies clothes while shopping but tbh Dp is the worst culprit - only last night he stopped to check out a car seat in our local supermarket, he always notices whenever pampers/huggies are on on special offer too. Bless him smile

I've managed to reign in my symptom curiosity for now although I nearly succumbed to losing the plot yesterday - I've got a few PT's in the cupboard and I found myself checking the sensitivity on them hmm smile Had a quick look to see when it's possible to pick up a BFP, then decided to leave it.
Today - I don't know where the tests are as I forced dp to hide them from me. I only have 4/5 days until af due, and even though patience is not one of my strongest points, I can wait I can! no really, I can! smile

Wishing everyone extra good luck x

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:24:05

* Hmm! It would seem spelling is not one of my stronger points neither smile

Of course I meant sneaky peeks not peaks smile

ELA88 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:27:17

Ohh that is such a good excuse! I now feel justified to be in the baby sections! Xxx

QueenofClean Fri 22-Feb-13 11:30:02

Welcome newbies smile

Honey lol. I'm not that obsessed yet. However, I'm a sling/wrap fan so will prob get over excited about them lol.

Very hormonal, however, I am happy that this will hopefully be my last AF for at least a year grinwink

Pixie001 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:46:34

Ha, we're all loonies! grin
Db and sil are off for their 20 wk scan today <sigh>. Bump is growing super quickly and I, having started ttc 3 mths earlier am STILL ttc sad. Everything's def more high tech nowadays - he's bought her a heart beat listening thingy. Suprised if the baby's not in there playing angry birds on an ipad!

Pixie001 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:57:27

dondon good idea hiding hpts! Giggle at thought of you frantically turning house upside down in efforts to find them over nxt few days as your patience disappears! Be super impressed if u can wait, I have zero patience!
Still 10 days for me and expecting af. So annoying to have to wait for her tho...she might as well get here now and get it over with!

PistachioTruffle Fri 22-Feb-13 11:57:50

Oh Pixie, it's hard when that happens sad, but I keep thinking that it happened for them, and it will happen for us too! I did laugh at the angry birds playing baby though! grin

On the subject of baby gear, last months boots magazine had a short feature in TTC which was talking about the benefits of keeping a positive frame of mind. It suggested kitting out a nursery as a strong positive image! I don't know about anyone else, but my poor DH would think I'd finally lost the plot if I suggested turning the spare room into a nursery to help us conceive!

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 11:58:40

lmao! i agree that DPs can be just as bad.. he was looking and test driving too so it would be hypocritical of him to bring it up phaha

i love wearing slings, having bubba snuggled up close..

i am... my temp went back up by .2 again and boobs still tingle.. but i can feel pmt on the horizon, therefore due to start biting DPs head off bless him poor bloke
im not used to this, when ive had a bfp before, ive had it bout 10 dpo x

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:03:48

pistachio my sis has been ttc for years (she has clotting and thyroid problems) and i came across her top draw of baby clothes.. felt sad for her but also thought it was a tiny bit wierdblush x

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:10:46

Chin up Pixie it will soon be you going for scans, stay positive x
A heartbeat listening thingy I personally could think of nothing worse -imo it's a recipe to drive you insane/cause huge panic/ un necessary stress.
Babies heart rates sound crazy they can go up and down by a huge difference, which is all perfectly normal to an expert. I always ask in hospital when strapped to the monitor that they turn the sound off - midwife can monitor it without making me nervous.

Give it time - modern technology will advance enough soon that we'll be able to send mini spy-cams in there strapped to the back of a sperm, to capture all from conception to birth. Okay! so maybe that's a bit far fetched but it sounds good smile

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:19:03

that actually sounds like a good idea lets get inventing grin haha
i tried one of the heartbeat monitorey thingymabobs once its pants x

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:23:58

Aw honey that's so sad, I hope your sis has success soon too.

That's the good thing pixie because I've told dp to hide them and he knows when af is due - the sod smile absolutely won't give them to me now, god knows where he's put them, they're not in obvious places not that I've looked smile
That's why I was a little torn between early testing - I'm sick of waiting and I'd rather disappoint myself rather than have AF do it for me. But the more sensible part of my brain said Nooooo! there's not enough hGC there to be accurate anyway.

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:29:21

Bah!! what's wrong with me today? smile

*I mean hCG NOT hGC - I'm inventing my own hormones here smile

ELA88 Fri 22-Feb-13 12:30:42

Pixie we're both due AF the same day! Positive thoughts! Hopefully! Xxx

Pixie001 Fri 22-Feb-13 13:13:46

No way, they cannot be serious about doing a nursery?! Agree pistachio my dh would think I'm officially crazy! And also what wud any visitors think!! Mental!
honey I can see why your dsis bought it all-it's so tempting but have absolutely resisted the urge so far. Bless her, so sad when dc so desperately wanted but dont arrive
I like idea of sperm-cams...other thing I would like whilst we're inventing is easy artificial insemination for when dh is not around at fertile time!
ELA I'm pretty sure mine will be af unfortunately as dh was away with work just when I needed him...but hope yours is bfp instead!

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 13:52:18

it is very sad sad shes miscarried alot too... she wants it more than anything i wish it happens soon i had a dream last night that she was expecting blush x

All the best setay. Enjoy organising your wedding!
Lol at looking at baby stuff I,don't do that at all, oh no

Into the two week wait now though not entirely sure when I ovulated if at all. Had my progesterone blood test today so just waiting for af then I can have the day 1-4 blood test.

Pixie001 Fri 22-Feb-13 14:19:05

Would someone mind updating the passenger list for this magical mystical march bus? Hard to do on my phone...

PistachioTruffle Fri 22-Feb-13 14:29:25

Haha Pixie, I hadn't even thought of visitors, that would be even worse! And yes, it was a genuine suggestion by an expert in something-or-other!

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 15:25:13

i would if i was on my lappy, i cant fo it on my phone either x x

BeQuicksieorBeDead Fri 22-Feb-13 15:32:16

PistachioTruffle Fri 22-Feb-13 16:36:40

I'm really not sure Honey, my cycles are between 33-37 days, so AF due somewhere between tues and thurs next week. I've been having some prickly cramps yesterday and today too, which could easily be AF gearing up.

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 16:43:27

hmmm id hold off abit longer then x
know how that feels, im coming to the end of a 52 day cycle- screws dates up- id at least hold off til monday says me whos been testing daily for a week blush

PistachioTruffle Fri 22-Feb-13 16:48:22

Thanks, I will hold off, I just needed someone to tell me to step away from the sticks! It's those darn Internet cheapies, they're just sitting in a drawer, waiting to be used grin I hope you get some good news soon! X

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 16:55:24

i got a faint line this morning butstill early days so i dunno if its even an official line or if its evap, only time and frer will tell. but thanks smile x

Sorelip Fri 22-Feb-13 17:01:08

Hang on honey are you saying you may have a bfp?

PistachioTruffle Fri 22-Feb-13 17:11:16

That's exciting honey, fingers crossed! grin

dondon33 Fri 22-Feb-13 17:23:04

<Will not get excited - will not do a little dance - will not shout yeeha! at honey yet>
honey from my research hmm attempted cheating yesterday I found out that even a faint line is a BFP - are you going to do another tomorrow to rule out evap or even re test today if you kept your pee?

Exciting times I see.

I can't add my name to the list from my phone.

QueenofClean TTC#3 Cycle 2 BFP due 15th March.

lisbapalea Fri 22-Feb-13 18:40:14

Exciting times indeed!

honey your faint bfp makes me so tempted to test but I was scared it's too early! According to the list we're due at the same (28Feb/1Mar) and I keep convincing myself I have symptoms - sore boobs for the last week or so (am sure that's earlier than my usual PMT symptoms), plus had a strange compulsion for Branston Pickle which I never normally eat! Am sure even if I was pg then this is way too early for cravings so it's prob all my head!

I have a leftover PG test (boots own) from a couple of yrs ago (a bfn followed swiftly by AF so I never used the second test in the pack). It says it expired in 2012 so I don't know whether it would even be worth using - was thinking of waiting until Wed/Thu of next week?

MotherOfCleo Fri 22-Feb-13 18:55:44

ohhh hunny im due the same day as you and now I'm sooooo tempted to test! Eeek. What test did you use?

MotherOfCleo Fri 22-Feb-13 18:56:10

honey not hunny.....doh

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 18:56:24

certainly looked like it.. its hardto explain cos my cycle was all over the place.. i bled all through jan,ff said i ov'd 9th which makes af due tomorrow or day after
but i worked it out to be28th/1st march, ive been testing daily with internet cheapies and til today theyve all been neg,

tested this morning got what i thought was an evap line so i binned it. few hours later i retested and there was a very faint (but definately there) line with a hint of pink.

so maybe, mayb not. im going to retest in the next few days with a frer test and let all know what happens. trying not to get excited.
fx to all you ladies thanks

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 19:03:50

they were internet cheapies hun, 30 for a 5er off ebay lol x

chocoloulou33 Fri 22-Feb-13 20:46:51

Hey everyone. Been having a good read thru all the posts. Had a good catch up. Been gone most of week as my phone broke grrr, had to wait for replacement. Also been working every hour under the sun. Cd22 for me.
honey hope its a bfp 2moro for you.
cleo how ru?! Thinking about testing? Ooh how exciting. How many dpo ru? I ov late this month. Am only 6dpo so I gotta while to wait x

MotherOfCleo Fri 22-Feb-13 21:36:09

hi choc ohhh what phone do you have?

I'm ok, did a test this evening as I got impatient, but got a bfn sad got really sad until I realised i'm only 9dpo so it may just be too early? Af/bfp not due until the 1st so im going to try to hold off till at least the 28th.

Ive had no post ov spotting at all, which as you know is unusual for me as I have a spotting issue, so even if I dont get my bfp I keep telling myself I should be pleased that Ive solved that problem. I just hope its my month.

honey86 Fri 22-Feb-13 23:02:58

aww mother im sorry.... although 9dpo is well early.. give it a few more days x fx x

chocoloulou33 Fri 22-Feb-13 23:24:57

cleo ur just too early hun & u did test not using fmu. Maybe try again mon if u can't wait any longer than that?
I didn't get a new model, just a replacement. Not even sure what it is exactly, a blackberry that slides open is as far as my knowledge goes haha! X

MotherOfCleo Fri 22-Feb-13 23:34:46

haha, nice techy knowledge choc wink
Yeah I didnt actually realise I was only 9dpo, someone with the same dates as me got a bfp so I got all carried away, should have known better! I'm going to wait it out now I think as I am so sick of getting bfn's or at least wait till the 28th wink

DogandBeth Sat 23-Feb-13 02:32:50

Hello I'm on phone so can't work out how to add myself to list but my details are:
Dogandbeth TTC#3 cycle 1 due around 6th March
Hope that's right? Up with an ill dc2 for second night in a row so brain a bit sleep deprived!

DogandBeth Sat 23-Feb-13 02:33:24

Least it takes my mind off symptom spotting I guess!

Morning all. I've just disembarked from the Feb bus due to the arrival of AF. TTC#2, and taking some time about it (now on cycle 17). DD was conceived on cycle 16, so I was hoping that Feb was going to be my lucky month. Evidently not. sad Here's hoping March delivers the BFP.

morning ladies wink

hows things going?

retested this morning (with an internet cheapie cos frer hasnt been delivered yet)
another v faint line using fmu. id even say abit faintersad i refuse to believe it until i get an obvs line. kinda worried im having a chemical, or another blighted ovum..sad only time will tell..

x fx x

gillian1986 Sat 23-Feb-13 08:20:23

Hi ladies... Well... As I thought I have fallen off the feb bus with a bang!
AF came in full force over night... I am experiencing the worst period pains ever right now! Taking ibuprofen as I write this!

Anyway... Sad I'm not pregnant but also really happy AF came. This is now my second true period since coming off the pill in December and I seem to be regular and AF came exactly as I calculated. So.. That's good and definitely gives me high hopes for March!
I've got more of an idea when I will be ovulating etc so... I'm on it! wink

So now I'm in cycle 2 if someone could update the list? I'm on my iPhone... Sorry! Xox

gillian1986 Sat 23-Feb-13 08:22:22

Ah honey86 I'm excited for you! Wishing its a good thing and that this is the time!!!! Fingers crossed xox
smile

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 08:56:58

sorry to hear that gillian thanks but at least you know where you stand. my af is due today or tomorrow. tbh the lines got lighter with what shouldve been stronger urine.. todays line seems like more of an evap line in comparison to yesterdays thick pink one... i have a bad feeling... sad but im coming to the end of a 52 day cycle so i need to know what my bodys going to do x

Dreamstoreality Sat 23-Feb-13 09:14:23

Inspired by honey ( got everything crossed for you) and the fact we're due the same day I have just POAS and got a BFN.. I will not test again until at least Wednesday although I have enough Internet cheapies to test everyday so it wouldn't really hurt to try again tomorrow

dondon33 Sat 23-Feb-13 09:18:18

Good morning bus buddies, hope everyone's well x

I've woken up to today and my face has had some sort of meltdown over night/ or my body thinks it's in it's teens again - I have 4 or 5 spots which is weird for me, I maybe get 1 every 3 or 4 months. Also attacking me is a stonking bloody cold sore right below my lip twat I'm trying to kill it with T tree as I've got no zovirax in the house- I haven't had one for ages and forgot how annoying this tingling is angry

Positive thoughts and fx honey

Mother I almost succumbed too - I had a plan last night..... to collect my fmu - keep it until I buy another test (You'll remember my Dp has hidden mine) and try today..... I can't really be proud of myself though for not doing it as the decision was taken out of my hands I pee'd and forgot to collect smile

Sorry to the ladies who were sent here by AF - hopefully March will be luckier.

deliasmithy Sat 23-Feb-13 10:16:45

I ate an entire Easter egg yesterday.
I'm convinced I'll get bfn in 2 weeks. At least I can eat choc for a whole month

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 10:21:56

ive got same problem hun, my face is really breaking out today sad i used to have such lovely clear skin..
boobs are still abit tingly too, felt like i was being nipple-crippled this morning blush fx x

PistachioTruffle Sat 23-Feb-13 11:14:41

Fingers crossed for you Honey.
Deliasmithy I could just eat a crime egg, mmm. No chocolates in the house unfortunately, and it's snowing outside so I dont fancy going out to get any!

Beware of TMI, but I've been having some rather strange stabbing pains down there every now and again when I move. Odd.

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 11:47:24

ive gone mad on kinder eggs atm specially the big ones smile

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 12:48:56

im no longer on the march bus...

just retested with first response, and a more definate + came up. im pregnant!
and just less than 4 weeks after taking my last cerazette pill.

im stunned!! grin with sticky blood and thyroid problems, and a prev mc i was sure this was just a chemical or evap. the internet cheapie line vanished earlier so i thought i was wrong.
so take heart those who have tested with one and got bfn... two days ago at 12dpo there wasnt a scrap of a line.. it could be you next wink
im not leaving the ttc threads just yet, ill miss you too much smile

<flings around as much baby dust about as is humanely possible>

onto the decaf coffee i go... smile

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 12:51:01

ELA88 Sat 23-Feb-13 13:24:22

padster75 Sat 23-Feb-13 13:25:08

ff has proper got up my nose this month .......... my bloody guinea pig has a better idea of when I am ovulating!! Anyway, I think I am 4DPO, not much BD going on this month, life has just got in the way somewhat, but things are on the up and up.

gillian1986 Sat 23-Feb-13 13:25:19

Oh my goodness honey I'm so happy for you!!!!!!! U said it would be me... I said it would be you!!!!!

I'm always right wink lol! (She says whilst stuck at home on her period with a hot water bottle!)

Thatssofunny Sat 23-Feb-13 13:30:48

Congratulations honey. smile Hope all goes well. You might have two birthdays on the same day.

Feel like af is on the way. sad Should be here some time next week anyway, but the cow generally refuses to stick to any timetables or calendars. Oh well, no point getting all upset,...although I know I will be when she actually arrives. Off to write job application now.

thankyou hunnies smile got my fingers crossed for all of u xxx

Whoop whoop honey! Congrats! <also grabs some baby dust and runs away covering self with it>
Nothing to report here. Not holding my breath either as I'm very grumpy which is normally a sign af Is thinking of appearing plus got the next blood test when I come on so not expecting to get pregnant now after all this time.

Fingers crossed for anyone else waiting to test.

Bajas Sat 23-Feb-13 17:14:29

Can I just squeak onto this bus? Can't do the list as on phone.

Bajas ttc #1 cycle 6 bfp due 30th march.

After 3rd v long cycle af has sort of arrived. I am seeing doc on tues and hoping he won't tell me it's start of peri menopause (possible at 38)

Congrats honey and good luck everyone else.

Pixie001 Sat 23-Feb-13 17:28:19

Yeaaaaaahhh honey!! 1st BFP of the march bus! Could you sprinkle some more baby dust pls? Some of these ladies have nicked it whilst I wasn't lookin!
Sorry to see some more familiar faces board from feb bus but we've got this bus nice and warm and toasty for you and plenty of hot water bottles to dish out.

theboob Sat 23-Feb-13 17:37:52

welcome bajas , i hope gp has good news for you
after putting all my info in fetility friend it would seem i'm on cd 42 and af/bfp is due 3rd of march soooo i'm in the 2ww !
symptom spotting like mad
its one of my very good friends baby shower next week , she ttc for 6 years with her ex , she has psos and tried clomid for months , she gave up ttc and one night had unprotected sex with her new partner and bam TWINS !! so if i do get a bfp next week i'll have to keep it a secret haha

Sorelip Sat 23-Feb-13 17:41:08

Congratulations honey that's wonderful! Sprinkle some of that magic over here, will you?

Had ewcm today so managed to dtd. Funny thing, I got confused and nearly missed shagging week by confusing cycle days with days of the month, i.e. thought shagging needed to start on CD 18 instead of 18th Feb. Thankfully we'd been dtd anyway!

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 18:16:36

<runs back to rub dust and +vibes on everyone>
ill be checking back daily looking for due date buddies wink sooo hope you ladies get your bfps soon, u really kept me sane the last few days. im really counting my blessings, as infertility and health problems are running notoriusly in my family.

ive told my sis to up her dose of aspirin, her clotting problem is so bad. she cut her leg accidently the other day and it clotted immediately hardly bled at all shock shes been on 75mg daily i told her to try 150mg daily see if that helps. feel so guilty shes ever so desperate for a baby has been ttc for yearssad

DogandBeth Sat 23-Feb-13 19:53:01

Congratulations to honey, the best way to fall off the bus.

Pops78 Sat 23-Feb-13 20:16:15

Gosh sorry for silence from here as you have all been chatting and I have been watching. I have been DTD and my DD's 3rd birthday party (not together) Including Princess Castle cake made by me which i was rather proud of ;-) Now all over I have to get on here and ask you ladies if I am going crazy or may be experiencing ridiculously early symptoms, convincing myself I have just got a urine infection from DTD sorry for TMI. I am only just starting 2 WW but have had diarrhoea last 2 days and now thats gone all day (during party!!) strong cramps like my period not due till 5th at least! Also sore boobs and really gone off alcohol and food. Am I insane or is there any chance these are symptoms of pg???

Pops78 Sat 23-Feb-13 20:18:32

Oh honey just saw your news after posting huge congrats to you :-)

honey86 Sat 23-Feb-13 22:21:08

thanks hun, caseloads of fx xx

BeQuicksieorBeDead Sun 24-Feb-13 00:35:52

honey what fantastic news! Brilliant.

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 08:39:27

pops sore boobs was my very first symptom. it just started off as the odd twinge/tingle. now it burrrnsssshock also i was waking up at 3am to pee. and i kept dreaming about baby stuff. had a vivid dream that my sis (the one whos struggling) was preg, and i had a go at her for talking about babies so much grin

x fx x

Pops78 Sun 24-Feb-13 10:04:57

Lol honey. Am I right in thinking you mentioned thyroid issues, is it underactive because I am on thyroxine and when I started that made my boobs so sore so also thought that could be reason. Bad acid indigestion this morning hope all these symptoms aren't psychosomatic because I want a baby so bad. No dreams yet though x

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 10:14:10

oh poo i meant im at risk of them and they are notoriously running in my family.. my aunt has overactive (she eats tons but is skeletal) and my mum and sister have underactive with clotting probs. my sis is on aspirin and thyroxin. she has conceived a few times but miscarried each time cos of sticky blood.
i got abit worried cos my cycles were irregular and ive really slapped weight on so ive been taking kelp extract daily and baby aspirin cos kelp is meant to help regulate thyroid hormones. tho im not sure if its safe to take with thyroxin or not x x

barebranches Sun 24-Feb-13 10:36:31

hi guys
opinions... i dtd monday but was to poorly the rest of the week. ovulated friday according to my app. DTD this morning... do you think its enough? i really hope so... so pissed off that i was ill this week. angry

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 10:57:22

hhmmmthere might be a chance hun. no matter how much we try n pinpoint ov, its never 100% certain. you cudve ov'd the day after the app predicted. masses of fx x x

barebranches Sun 24-Feb-13 11:05:28

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:09:13

omfg is she for real?!!! i see the way she sticks plastic lashes on princess seems like babies r just accesories to her hmmbut thats my opinion x

dondon33 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:14:55

Good afternoon ladies smile

I'm feeling this isn't my month- I'm starting to get pre-menstrual cramps and feelings like AF is imminent..... Trying to stay positive - it's not over til it's over (until the witch arrives) smile
How freaky is this -
Got a message last night out of the blue from a cousin I've not spoken to for ages....it said
Alright cuz, bit of a random question for you - are you pregnant?
He'd seen a psychic last week who told him - your eldest cousin, who you've not seen in a long time, is pregnant.
I'm his eldest cousin shock smile

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:18:12

ooomg don massive fx then wink x

dondon33 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:19:18

I'm with ya honey that's my opinion too, plus so much more but I'll refrain as we're on a family website smile
It's her kids I feel sorry for.

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:20:07

thats what a woman on her twitter page told her lol x

PistachioTruffle Sun 24-Feb-13 14:20:40

Oh for goodness sake, didn't Katie price only meet her husband 3 months ago?!

dondon that's a little spooky, I wonder if he's right!

I've been experiencing stabbing pains in my cervix area....of course I couldn't help googling blush

dondon33 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:21:32

Oops x posted with you honey smile
Thanks hun x

gillian1986 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:25:28

ooooohhh my god dondon thats spooky! I love stuff like that!!!!! Hopefully the psychic is right! If you arent feeling it this month then maybe march is the month you will conceive! How exciting!!

Ahhhh that makes me want to see a psychic but im too scared!

ahh i saw the news about katie price this morning. really dislike her. she only married that guy a month ago after telling the world she wouldnt marry again! and now shes pregnant? arrgh.

dondon33 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:25:57

I'm wondering too pistachio we'll soon find out I've got 2/3 days to wait tick tock tick tock smile

PistachioTruffle Sun 24-Feb-13 14:30:13

When are you testing dondon?

honey86 Sun 24-Feb-13 14:38:18

ooohh ill be hovering around this thread looking for the result smile masses of baby dust to u x

chocoloulou33 Sun 24-Feb-13 16:30:23

Meant to say congrats to honey xx
dondon I believe in stuff like that, let's hope its true! X
7dpo here. Draaaaging! X

padster75 Sun 24-Feb-13 16:48:19

dondon I am a big believer in it too, so fingers crossed for you. My Mum (who doesn't know I am TTC is going to visit one either this week or next ...... what's the betting I could be getting an interesting phone call).

As for that tramp Ms Price, well there just aren't enough derogatory words in my vocabulary to start .............

FF playing silly buggers with me again this month, I think I ov last Sunday, it says it hasn't got a Scooby Doo.

Ooh dondon will be interesting to see if the psychic gets it right!
I dunno what's going on with me. Got pain on one side now so to sure if I'm ovulating late or if its pre af pain like last month. Doing the deed tonight just in case but not holding my breath this month anyway.

dondon33 Sun 24-Feb-13 19:05:12

I hope so gillian I love it too, I've been told more than once I'll have twins!! so far I haven't so rather nervous for the next time.
Even if af comes I'll still be on march bus with you guys grin

pistachio I'm going to test if af doesn't arrive by 1st march

padster Haha! your mum will be like 'you'll never guess what.....' I hope they say something - positivity is welcome from anywhere but when it's seen from t'other side makes it a bit more exciting.
I was gob smacked last night - even if I'm not now pg, they know I'm soon hopefully going to be. It still amazes me what/how they know - I've seen too many good ones that have been spot on to doubt it.
Also been told more than once, that I have the ability but must stop being afraid of my 'gift' and let it in hmm no thanks! smile

Good luck to all, fx for everyone x

ScienceGeekGirl Sun 24-Feb-13 20:55:56

Hi guys, congrats honey.
I think I'm ovulating (yay). So basically half way through my first cycle. This has to be the longest month ( plus all this DTD is exhausting). FX it works first go cos I'm tired already.

BeQuicksieorBeDead Sun 24-Feb-13 21:26:45

dondon how spooky! I really hope the psychic was right.

I was thinking the same thing about Katie Price but then read an interview where she was saying how scared she is about the pregnancy as she has miscarried before. Then I felt really shite for thinking such horrid things about her! She does appear to do very daft things, but then the papers love to make her seem even more daft don't they. I am glad no one goes through my bins then writes articles about it! I would have been sectioned by now!

Well I am thinking about putting a really large deposit down on a wedding dress, so hopefully that means that I will immediately get pg and not have a hope in hell of getting in to it come December! wink

MotherOfCleo Sun 24-Feb-13 21:30:37

ohhh interesting don! FX they know something you dont (yet).

Sorry for tmi but i checked my cervix his morning and it was solid, like a rock, never felt it like that before. hmm
But then this arvo I had a streak of red, not like spotting like a streak of red skin.....very odd.

I hope its a good sign but I am beyond getting my hopes up.....I just get upset when I dare to believe. I really wanted to be pregnant by the time I turn 30 which is in 20 days so this is my last chance to achieve that aim. blush

Pixie001 Sun 24-Feb-13 21:54:37

cleo that does sound strange..it's crap not being able to identify what causes these kinda things but not having spotting has got to be a good thing for you. cant advise at all on cervix...i'm afraid i simply dont know what i'm doing on that front...!
gillian sorry af got you but glad you get to stay on the bus
ninja do you use opks at all?
dondon i'm a bit hmm bout those kinda things but have to admit that's pretty wierd!
quicksie i think you're right...put a deposit down and it'll be bound to happen! but you cant put life off for what ifs...sometimes we just have to go with what we know
pistachio what have we said about stepping away from google.... tut tut wink
can't believe we have 6 potential bfps coming up enf feb/1 march!!! not long to wait til some more poas action on board this bus...whoop whoop grin

Pixie001 Sun 24-Feb-13 22:00:24

choc how was last weigh-in? i am an official weight loss failure. dont know what's wrong with me but norovirus seems to have been the only kinda diet that's worked! anyone know where i can get some more germs from?

Wow there's lots of us on the bus! I've still got 8 loooooong slooooow days left till poas! I check my app about 5 times a day just incase I might have mis counted! Think I'm going a bit 2ww crazy! I've got belly ache tonight too, not sure if its linked to the fact I just are a whole massive box of chocolate fingers though confused xx

chocoloulou33 Sun 24-Feb-13 23:05:38

cleo fx that's implantation bleeding! When ru gonna poas? I'm only 7dpo so won't do it til end of week! Maybe friday!
pixie my weight loss is slowing right down now but that could be the easter eggs!!! I've lost 12lbs altogether. OH doing brilliantly & has lost just over 2 stone!
So who's poas this week then? We need some more bfp's! X

PistachioTruffle Sun 24-Feb-13 23:16:01

Me! AF due between tues and thurs, but might try poas tomorrow. The last couple of months I haven't and have just waited for AF to show up, but I'm feeling impatient this month! I'm on day 33, and last months AF turned up on day 33, so who knows!

MotherOfCleo Sun 24-Feb-13 23:25:14

hey choc going to wait till Thursday or at least try to my OH goes to Canada on Friday for 10 days so i'll either send him off with good news or bad.

deliasmithy Mon 25-Feb-13 01:04:21

I keep missing too much of this thread to join in conversations.
I did see congrats are in order to Honey!

Going over baby announcements etc, I'm ok with most, the one that I would pin on my dart board and go spare about would be my bro/sil. I feel angry even just imagining it!

honey86 Mon 25-Feb-13 06:54:57

thanks hun smile

having anxiety issues suddenly and its disturbing my sleep. had a horrible dream that i caught my dp cheating confused and cos of my hormones i suspect, my dreams are alot more vivid and it feels so real... so i feel a little tearful today blushsad

keeping a check on bfp stayus on the thread wink

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 07:41:57

walks in....whispers BFP......walks out again in shock.....

padster75 Mon 25-Feb-13 07:48:16

Holy Shit Cleo!! That is the most brilliant news to kick of another week!! You go girl ....... grin

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 07:54:30

cheers padster im not getting too excited just yet as im not due on till Thursday. BUT it is a definite line, I have it on the windowsill an can see both lines without picking it up, plus it passed the OH test, he can see it without squinting, standing on one leg etc. Eeeek FX grin

Ariel21 Mon 25-Feb-13 08:19:45

I've been away due to AF related dispondencey and when i return what do I see, 2 BFPs! Honey and MotherofCleo Congrats! Fx and happy days!

Whoop whoop motherofcleo, congrats!

Pixie I didn't this month as I've only ever had one positive whenever I've used them but I might try again next month as I'm so confused now. I think I do normally get pain before af now so it could just be that.

PistachioTruffle Mon 25-Feb-13 08:35:27

Congratulations cleo! Wonderful news!

I POAS this morning. BFN. I know I shouldn't have, as now I feel wretched sad

SpanishLady Mon 25-Feb-13 08:58:16

many congratulations motherofcleo - how wonderful - 2 bfps and we arent even IN March yet!!!!!

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 09:09:51

Thanks ladies! I don't quite believe it yet. My OH said he wont believe it till the line is darker, I did explain to him that 'a line is a line' lol.

It was funny though, me walking in saying 'I think my test is positive' first thing this morning certainly woke him up pretty quickly....ooops.

Pixie001 Mon 25-Feb-13 09:19:24

Cleo congratuuuuuuuuulaaaaaatioooooons! Woo!!! You've made my miserable monday a happier place grin. Knew you wouldn't last til thurs! At least you can send oh to canada with some amazing news. Hope all goes well for you.
pistachio whilst I know it is a really crappy feeling, you are still early, so don't lose hope!

chocoloulou33 Mon 25-Feb-13 09:38:42

...Comes on mumsnet fast asleep... Sees my lovely cleo has a BFP.... Screams 'OMG' loudly!!!
Wowwwwwww cleo am so so sooooo happy for you hun!!!! Such great news. Am gonna miss you on here though! Keep us updated ok! How many dpo ru? Keep testing every morning, am sure the lines will keep getting darker! Ohhh am so wanting to test now but am too early :/ xxxx

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 09:47:47

thanks pixie smile

choc I am actually in shock lol, I am 12dpo today, I am half excited beyond belief, half terrified the line wont get darker. My OH was so shocked bless him.

I hope beyond hope that you get your bfp this month too!

Pops78 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:03:38

Huge congrats motherofcleo. Hope some more of us join you soon. A line is a line x

chocoloulou33 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:04:29

Lol me too cleo!! Do u go into a 'due in...' Thread now then? Oh I so wanna join u at end of the week. Am only 8dpo so gotta wait! X

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 10:18:13

I am staying put until I have a far darker line and 'feel' pregnant...if that makes sense. confused

honey86 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:19:01

yeeeeaayy cleo smilesmilesmile congratulations!!! theres a nov 2013 babies antenatal club waiting for youu grin come join!! plenty more spaces for more bfps ladies wink xxx

ELA88 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:38:46

Aww congratulation!! Feeling a little bit envious now of all year BFP's! Send me some of your good luck ladies!! Xxx

chocoloulou33 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:38:51

Ladies. Just flicking thru channels & its 'fertility week' on this morning (tv programme) might be useful for us. Am working most mornings in week but gonna record it & just watch the good bits! X

dondon33 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:49:42

Huge congratulations Cleo - what fab news to get upon entering mn today, so happy for you smile

I'm 12dpo today - not long to wait now but going by the pains I'm getting today, my body is limbering up for af's arrival sad so don't think I'll need to poas.
Good luck and fx to those close to testing

honey86 Mon 25-Feb-13 10:55:30

don. its not over til its over. i started getting cramps like af when i got my bfp. apparently its 'bedding in' pain... haven't spotted yet touch wood masses of babydust to those waiting to poas x

lisbapalea Mon 25-Feb-13 11:30:34

Hi all!
Very excited by all the BFPs that are appearing on this thread! AF is due on Thurs/Fri for me so I am going to test on Thurs morning if AF hasn't arrived early.
Felt like I had loads of symptoms over the weekend, with a real pulling sensation in my boobs - like when bf'ing, and also felt totally queasy when cooking chicken casserole yesterday - I added some bacon in and the smell literally made me heave; had to pick all bacon pieces out of my portion.
Have also been VERY weepy and moody with DH, but tbh they are definitely my usual symptoms of AF's arrival. I suppose it could also be because he was being a particular idiot this weekend!!
Worried I am feeling crampy today though, but am deciding to go with the idea of bedding in pains - thanks honey!
Think mother nature is so cruel for making AF symptoms so similar to early pg!

MotherOfCleo Mon 25-Feb-13 11:38:41

don dont panic, I've felt on and off all weekend like I'm either going to get AF or get (sorry for tmi) diarrhea but instead I got a bfp. Everything crossed for you.

As I said though it won't seem real for me until I miss my AF.

theboob Mon 25-Feb-13 12:18:30

massive congratulations cleo !
good luck to all that poas this week x

startoftheroad Mon 25-Feb-13 12:19:51

hi all can i join this group ??? im in my 2nd month of ttc and failed miserably this month so hoping march will be a good one for us all xxx

Pixie001 Mon 25-Feb-13 12:41:02

Hi start welcome to the bus! <passes [biscuits]> Feel free to make yourself comfy on your hopefully short and add yourself to the passenger list! When's your bfp due?

Pixie001 Mon 25-Feb-13 12:42:34

Let me try that again...
Hi start welcome to the bus! <passes biscuit> Feel free to make yourself comfy on your hopefully short journey and add yourself to the passenger list! When's your bfp due?

ELA88 Mon 25-Feb-13 12:47:07

cleo I feel like I'm going to have an upset tummy too! Hopefully it will be a good thing then, either that or I just am going to need to run to the loo in a bit! I'm feeling sooo fed up today though, half term should be longer! Xxx

SpanishLady Mon 25-Feb-13 13:20:04

Hi - anyone used First response before?

are the lines very close together or abit spaced out?

Can see the faintest of faintest second line but maybe thats usual?

SpanishLady Mon 25-Feb-13 13:21:44

seriously - am not thinking its pregancy as I had a MC at the start of the month, dont know when I ov (if I did) and only had sex once - so it seems impossible.

Am going to have to wait and test again in a few days arent I?

I am desperately trying not to get my hopes up.

honey86 Mon 25-Feb-13 13:31:39

spanishlady i used first response after internet cheapies gave what looked like an evap line and it gave me a more definate line..
they are usually spaced apart but not too much, and the lines themselves tend to be thin ones x

honey86 Mon 25-Feb-13 13:34:33

if its within the specified testing time then it would be a genuine line... wait a few days n test again c if it gets darker hun.. fx x

SpanishLady Mon 25-Feb-13 13:42:54

thanks Honey, I am of course going to have to leave it (to the weekend if I can) - im convinced Im imagining it but if you are suppose to see no other lines at all even faintly (very faintly) then I dont know what to think as its there.

my best guess is that I may have ovulated 15 Feb (based on lots of ewcm the two days - 13th/14th -before but negative opks for those days) - I didnt bother testing that day as thought I'd probably already ovulated and so told my DH not to worry about a condom when we dtd on 16 Feb. So assuming my back of an envelope/based on thin air calcs are right I am 10dpo today

this would be pretty cruel if a mistake or my eyes are going wonky as it was suppose to be my 12 week scan today.

I hate TTC - its a minefield!

dondon33 Mon 25-Feb-13 14:44:36

spanishlady ((hugs)) for you today. I've got my fx for your re-test.

honey and cleo thanks! trying to stay positive.

I don't remember/don't know as I didn't actually ttc with my 3dc what the early symptoms are confused
I have read some cramping is quite common though. I'm not sure if it's because I'm actively looking for symptoms but this month from ov I've felt different to how I usually do - boobs have stayed sore, feeling bloated deep down in my pelvis, I've had a dodgy tummy for the last 4/5 days, today I'm physically feeling a pressure on my bladder to pee more - I kid you not from my 2 morning coffee's this morning I went to the loo like 7/8 times in a few hours.

On the plus side I've also had some positive things too - absolutely no moodiness (although please do read further down...I'm sure it's manifesting itself as sarcasm this month smile ) and no craving sweet stuff.

<SIGHSSSSSS! just hurry up and put me out of my misery>
Of course most of it could just be nothing and completely related to AF
-
I think God should have made us completely differently and not make ov and pg symptoms similar to AF
Eg - when we ov he could have programmed us to turn green, maybe not our whole bodies as we'd look stupid smile but our nipples would be a good place??

'look sweety my nips are green, we've gotta get shagging' sounds much better than
' hang on hun til I poas - oh check this for me babes is that line there darker or what? ...yes! ok get ya c**k out'

A different colour for when we are pregnant and AF could stay as it is.

Life would be so much simpler, think about the money we'd save on tests too smile

PistachioTruffle Mon 25-Feb-13 15:54:09

Pixie, Thankyou for the positivity, I know you're right. It's not over 'til AF shows her ugly face grin Speaking of ugly faces, I seem to have woken up with a face full of spots! Painful and not pretty.

SpanishLady, I have my fingers crossed for you.

I love Dondon's green nipple ovulation and pg tests. Much more sensible in my opinion.

Yes dondon's got the right idea. I wonder how we can sort that out?

Bajas Mon 25-Feb-13 17:41:55

Congratulations cleo! Wonderful news.

This bus is starting out so positively. Fx for us all smile

dondon33 Mon 25-Feb-13 17:47:10

Pistachio I'm feeling your pain - I too have a twatting collection of spots this month and a huge cold sore sad I'm quite scared to leave the house in case people think I've got the lurgy or something smile Good it's still cold here and I can hide behind my scarf.

PistachioTruffle Mon 25-Feb-13 19:27:29

Industrial strength concealer for me! I don't normally get such bad skin, it could be a symptom but most likely it's my new moisturiser disagreeing with me!

Tinkerbellefairy Mon 25-Feb-13 20:56:58

Congratulations Cleo! So happy for you. Hopefully this is the start of many BFP's! This 2ww business is not fun and its only my first. Already symptom spotting like crazy. Was awake most of the night feeling really sick after feeling fine all day and fine again today. Although sure it would be too early to really feel like that. Do you ladies advise POAS when Af due or waiting for a no show first. DH says to wait but not sure if I would be able to!

QueenofClean Mon 25-Feb-13 21:39:07

Congrats Cleo.

My AF finished yesterday so dtd today to kick start things. I ov 4 days early last time so not taking any chances we might miss out this month ESP as we don't have the winter vomiting bug yay!

chocoloulou33 Mon 25-Feb-13 22:45:22

Think I'm gonna poas thursday! Will be couple of days early but I have all these billions of tests I might as well use them!! Who's up for thursday testing? Lol x

ELA88 Tue 26-Feb-13 06:55:53

How many days before AF is Thursday for you? I want to test now! I promised dh I would wait till AF is late but I'm not sure I can wait another week! Xxx

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 07:32:59

well I tested again and the line is no darker, I'm terrified its a chemical! confused

Pixie001 Tue 26-Feb-13 07:36:37

Queen wishing you a happy and healthy fertile period and keep an eye out for green nipples!
choc good luck for thurs!

honey86 Tue 26-Feb-13 07:37:03

oohh good luck those who are going to poas wink
will defo be keeping an eye on this thread x

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 07:38:10

argh men! So we both look at the test this morning, I say that im worried its not much darker, my OH says 'well just wait an see if you come on' then when I looked hurt he said, what do you want me to do give you an ultrasound. So unhelpful!!!!! sad He did say he thinks this one is darker than yesterday though, although he may just be more awake!

QueenofClean Tue 26-Feb-13 07:59:01

Thanks Pixie.

Cleo men just don't understand! Hoping its not chemical for you and a line is a line x

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 08:00:41

sad and now I have some brownish slightly reddish cm/discharge, it is still too early for AF not due till Thursday I am so scared. sad The last thing I want to do it go to work right now!

SpanishLady Tue 26-Feb-13 08:20:09

could be implantation? I think its early days so woudlnt necessarily fear the worst - fx for you.

Dreamstoreality Tue 26-Feb-13 08:41:50

Cleo A line is a line so try not to worry (easier said than done) but my guess it is your bean getting sticky and implanting..

AF is due on Thurs and was going to test this morning but at five the morning I went to the half asleep and forgot to..

So question is do I bother testing as it isn't first morning or do I wait until tomorrow??

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 08:59:04

thanks ladies, still terrified though sad

chocoloulou33 Tue 26-Feb-13 09:26:55

cleo try not to worry hun, easy for me to say I know! The line will take a while to get darker as u still so early. So mant people have implantation bleeding or spotting. Just keep testing every morning to reassure yourself its still ok xx
ela thurs will be cd28 for me. I usually have a 28 day cycle but this month I ovulated 2 days later than usual. Thurs I will be 11dpo. Go on test thurs! I got loads of ic's so makes it easier. I'm just really worried this month as have tried sooo hard! Dtd a billion times, used conceive + for the first time! Surely its my month!!!
dreams I would wait to use fmu hun. Makes such a difference x

SpanishLady Tue 26-Feb-13 09:45:13

I second FMU!

good luck choco

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 09:51:05

Cheers choc

Have uploaded test pics for whoever it was who asked for them.

P.S I third FMU! smile

theboob Tue 26-Feb-13 09:59:21

they are definate lines ! congratulations cleo , and sounds like implantation to me x

ELA88 Tue 26-Feb-13 12:50:38

I might hold out and test Saturday, I purposely didn't buy any tests either! Would a cheapie test show 2 days before AF is due? We've dtd every day apart from last night to maximise all chances! Ill be so gutted it odd bfn though :-( xxx

Dreamstoreality Tue 26-Feb-13 12:58:42

Ok.. Couldn't wait and POAS in the toilets at uni... BFN but not giving up yet.. Symptom spotting like crazy and slowly driving myself insane..

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 13:24:31

ela i got my bfp at 12dpo and AF not due until 15dpo plus i used a normal test not an early response one so there is hope.

Fingers crossed for everyone else testing!

dondon33 Tue 26-Feb-13 13:47:21

Afternoon all smile
Hope everyone's well and fx for all due to poas.

What has become of my life ? Month 1 and I've turned into some kind of neurotic wannabe gynaecologist inspecting and questioning everything I feel and see regarding my lady parts confused smile
I'm still hanging in here, only just, I feel - af should be here today/tomorrow.
Trying to hang on to my positive thoughts.
Que sera, sera smile

MotherOfCleo Tue 26-Feb-13 14:10:01

haha, welcome to the world of TTC dondon the things we do to ourselves huh

TakingTheStairs Tue 26-Feb-13 14:43:02

Room for one more?
Hi all! <passes chocolate biscuits around>
I'm on cycle 6, AF due a week ago but no sign of her yet. I have some good symptoms, swollen & sensitive nipples (TMI sorry!) and had very very intense stabby pains in lower abdomen 1 week after ovulation but still getting BFNs. Doc said to hold off testing again until Friday and if no sign of AF or a BFP by then to make an appointment. Fx I get a BFP by then!
Congratultions to the BFPs. Blow some of that baby dust this way please!

SpanishLady Tue 26-Feb-13 15:33:07

best of luck takingthestairs!!!

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 26-Feb-13 15:41:47

Ill take up the offer of a biscuit stairs. Biscuits surely must help my 2ww wait go faster. If my cycle is normal (just come off pill) my BFP could come on Mother's Day. Surely that must mean something? Trying hard to not get my hopes up very very unsuccessfully as this is the first cycle.

dondon33 Tue 26-Feb-13 15:51:44

Taking Hi! <waves>
Ooo! sounds very positive fx for BFP.
Don't be sorry for TMI - have a read back through this thread -you'll see much worse grin

Cheers Mother I worry with each month I'll gradually get worse hmm

TakingTheStairs Tue 26-Feb-13 16:15:12

Anyone else for a biscuit or a brew? Thanks for your positive thoughts!
And ScienceGeek it's complete tosh well known that eating chocolate biscuits will make your 2ww go faster. So have another!

PistachioTruffle Tue 26-Feb-13 16:43:36

I'll have one of each please Taking grin

TakingTheStairs Tue 26-Feb-13 17:14:27

here you are pistachio <passes biscuits & brew>

Right, I'm going to sneak home 15 mins early from work.. I'm such a rebel grin, if anyone asks, say I'm in the loo.

QueenofClean Tue 26-Feb-13 19:00:25

Welcome Stairs <grabs biscuit>

Big sigh.....DD2 has a chest infection as DD1 has a headache so both are tucked up fast asleep in bed after being topped up with medication.

Don't think we will be dtd tonight but we will see!

dondon33 Tue 26-Feb-13 20:05:15

>Hops aboard to check if all's well and scoff a few biccies>

and to add I'm still in up to now, af still hasn't landed...yet!
The wait is killing me smile

Hope to see more signs, symptoms or BFP's when I log back on tomorrow x

honey86 Tue 26-Feb-13 21:04:29

massive handfuls of babydust to you don smile and to all getting ready to poas x

Bajas Tue 26-Feb-13 21:09:37

Ooh biccies tempting (even though I could do with losing a couple
of -stone- pounds)

Visit to gp went well. Says lengthening cycles a good thing if conception happens as baby would be more likely to 'stick'. (have moved from 18-25 day cycles to 30-35 day ones)

So that's me happy and ready to start trying again with a bit more confidence once Af leaves the building grin

Hey everyone. I'm on this bus now as started spotting which means af will be here in a day or so if its anything like last month. Day 1-4 test is booked for Friday which should work out ok. Am also gonna ask doc to check me out for endometriosis as the pains I get throughout my. Cycle can't be normal? I only worry about it as years ago I had a laparoscopy sp? The doc said they found a small amount of endometriosis but too small to be significant but something to be aware of for the future. Anyway
Quietninjatardis ttc2 cycle 10 bfp? fuck knows wish I had a crystal ball sigh

TakingTheStairs Tue 26-Feb-13 22:26:56

Hi again ninja guess I'm on the bus with you too. Just started spotting too. Witch AF a week late with no cramps & giving me hope.
Guess I'll see it as another month to lose some weight. And at least now I can have drugs for my rotten cold. Fuck it anyway

TakingTheStairs. cycle 7. Bfp due 26th March (wedding anniversary! Wouldn't that be nice)

marie456 Tue 26-Feb-13 22:29:57

Can I join too! This is my first posting on mumsnet! TTC #1 Cycle 4. AF/BFP due 7th March!

marie456 Tue 26-Feb-13 22:34:19

Im 6 dpo and doing my usual monthly ritual of desperately trying to stop the urge to 'pee on a stick' as I know it's too early!!

Pixie001 Tue 26-Feb-13 22:43:50

Queen surely drugging dc to sleep just happens to provide the best opportunity for dtd???!! grin

helloooooo taaaaaaking and ninja rubbish, really hope it's not af arriving for ya both but if it is we promise to give you lots of wine support and a lovely time on this bus journey smile

i shall decline the biscuit tho thks...i'm watching my figure grow..in a bad way

bajas lengthening cycles does sound like a good thing to me too...frustrating having to wait so long but think it's worth it if gives more time for implantation

don and everyone else end feb/start march keep hanging on in there!! positive thoughts being sent your way...!

Pixie001 Tue 26-Feb-13 22:46:05

ooh and hello marie <waves>, step away from the sticks!!! smile it's def way too early! feel free to update the passenger list...last version is a few pages back tho

TakingTheStairs Tue 26-Feb-13 23:13:03

Hi Marie welcome officially to MN!
Hi pixie <waves>

padster75 Wed 27-Feb-13 07:00:03

Morning all
pixie, ninja & taking <waves> at marie

9DPO here, tummy already feels like af is on her way, no symptoms, having said that I am not looking out for them getting rather disillusioned with the whole ttc thing, but keep shagging anyway, the lure of a bfp is too great

Hi everyone, was on the january bus and BFP straightaway but m/c at 6 weeks. AF has just been and gone so ready to try again (well after DP gets back on Friday) BFP due March 23rd

QueenofClean Wed 27-Feb-13 07:29:23

Morning new passengers smile

Pixie both of them being asleep didn't last long. ESP DD2 who couldn't stop coughing sad

Tired.com but have told DH were dtd tonight no matter what lol

Dreamstoreality Wed 27-Feb-13 07:36:15

BFN with fmu. Know it's still early as AF not due until Thurs / Fri but feel like the witch is on her way.

Trying not to get upset as only c1 but feel a little weepy (which pretty much guarantees AF on way!)

Pixie001 Wed 27-Feb-13 07:41:06

Mornin clare sad to hear your news, how are you?
queen you need to get them some heavier duty drugs...
pads I'm same as you, 9dpo and I have gurgly noises which since symptom spotting I've noticed seem to come a week prior to af.
taking has your back been coping ok with bd action?

Pixie001 Wed 27-Feb-13 07:52:14

dreams ttc is an absolute emotional rollercoaster, it's why it's so exhausting that and all the dtd. Don't give up just yet but if af arrives, allow yourself some time to be upset, drink wine and feel free to come on here to rant and moan as worst thing is bottling it up.

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 07:56:10

line far far lighter today, hardly visable sad dont think this bean is going to stick. sad sad sad sad sad sad

Pixie001 Wed 27-Feb-13 08:26:44

Aw cleo <hugs> must be scary time for you. Any spotting/blood? <Wills bean to stay put and make itself comfy> x

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 08:59:20

nope no blood pixie. I'm willing it to get comfy too

TakingTheStairs Wed 27-Feb-13 10:07:44

Hi Pixie my back is doing quite well thanks. Costing me a fortune in Pilates classes but it's worth it smile

Cleo, sending you lots of positive thoughts and hoping your little bean sticks x

lisbapalea Wed 27-Feb-13 11:03:17

Hi all - think I am out for this cycle. Just went to the loo and AF appears to be on her way, although I am clearly hoping that what I saw is implantation spotting!
If no more appears today I will test tomorrow but I don't fancy my chances.
I have short cycles of c.23-24 days (which scares me a bit after reading that that makes implantation more tricky) so if AF does come tomorrow, I would next be due on 23 or 24Mar so I will still stay on this bus if that's OK!
Hope everyone else is OK - sending positive thoughts your way cleo!

theboob Wed 27-Feb-13 11:33:41

fx for you cleo and sending positive sticky vibes to your bean !

honey86 Wed 27-Feb-13 11:54:04

aw cleo hunni sad massive fx for u.... are you testing daily? thats what i did and one day the line was loads lighter.. i thought it was another early mc , but it turns out that hcg is secreted in pulses and fluctuates on a daily basis hence why my line was lighter. its gradually getting darker albeit slowly..

hope everyones cool x x

Sticky bean vibes for you motherofcleo. Really hope all is ok.
Thanks for the wine pixie I will need some I think.

Takingthestairs a big booooooooo to the witch!
Hey everyone else can't keep up

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 14:12:30

honey I could hug you, the first 2 tests were much of a muchness but this mornings was so pale. I then proceeded to crap myself thinking its a chemical but Ive no AF symptoms and she should be ready to fly in tomorrow. fx she gets lost for 8 months.

TakingTheStairs Wed 27-Feb-13 14:18:36

Aw yay for Honey bringing positive news for Cleo

QuietNinja you and I will be hitting the wine this week I think! grin

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 27-Feb-13 14:19:31

clare I was on the January bus and got a bfp and then mc too. Glad to hear you are back in the action.

motherofcleo fx it's sticking for you. It maybe as honey says.

Just saying hi to everyone already boarded the bus. I'm still clinging onto the Feb one. But there's only one day left isn't it?

The master list seems to be very out of date. So I'll just put my stats here.

OneLittleToddleTerror ttc cycle 1 after mc, due anytime (CD39 as of today)

chocoloulou33 Wed 27-Feb-13 14:29:27

Hello all. Hope ur having a good day. I'm trying to ignore the cramps I have 2day sad am 10dpo & was planning on testing in morning!
cleo glad honey was able to explain what's going on. Am sure all is fine. Just need to get past that af due date & u'll be feeling so much better xxx

dondon33 Wed 27-Feb-13 15:42:08

<Waves hello to everyone new and old> smile

Cleo fx,fx,fx that your lil bean sticks.

I'm still on this deck of the bus - I'm no closer to going upstairs (for my second cycle in March) as af is still not here confused still feels like she's coming but not a hint of the actual flow.
Something else strange happened today, will post when I have more time.

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 15:43:03

hummm so I just did a cheapy strip test from the pharmacy and it has a line, quite faint but defo a line, do I take that as good news as it is defo as dark as this mornings line and this isnt using FMU?

I'm very confused, I know only time will tell but I am very impatient hmm

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 16:13:27

Just uploaded latest pic for your thoughts. confused

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 27-Feb-13 16:16:08

Sorry I can't tell motherofcleo. Have you got a clear blue digital? I found them much easier to read.

chocoloulou33 Wed 27-Feb-13 16:25:54

cleo hun u gotta try stop worrying, ur gonna make yourself ill. Try to relax. Maybe stop testing as its only gonna make u analyse each test u do. Try & enjoy it. A line is a line & ur def pregnant. Worry about u I do. I know it must be hard as u had chemical pregnancy b4 but there is nothing u can do honey other than try & chill.
Ps I can't see the pics sad am super jealous though lol. I want a bfp!!! Xx

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 27-Feb-13 16:28:37

choco is so right about the relaxing bit. I know and that's why I'm not testing yet. I'm really trying to avoid working myself up because of the disappointment I had last time.

MotherOfCleo Wed 27-Feb-13 16:33:58

You are of course right, I'm being an uptight crazy moo....doh. [moves to the back of the bus to give myself a stern talking to]

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 27-Feb-13 16:41:46

You are still pregnant and will be so until you have given birth (or mc). But you aren't either yet, are you?

chocoloulou33 Wed 27-Feb-13 17:53:22

lol at cleo at back of the bus. We know how hard it is. Oh I so wanna bfp 2moro. Literally can't wait til bedtime so then I can get up & do it lol oh dear how sad! X

theboob Wed 27-Feb-13 18:48:10

very excited for those who are due to poas soon , i'm going to do it on sunday !
i'm with the others cleo .....try to relax i can see a line on the one from today xx

Pixie001 Wed 27-Feb-13 19:15:19

Passes cleo mug of relaxing camomile tea and footstool to put feet up whilst chilling out at back of bus
Giggle at choc's excitement...one more sleep! Good luck!
lisba how have you got on today? Are you def going up to upper deck of march bus?
don glad to hear you're still on bottom deck. sounds intriguing...???

Thatssofunny Wed 27-Feb-13 19:24:08

af arrived today. sad

Alright then,...I'll cuddle up at the back of the bus with my blanket. I might be on here a while, yet.

Thatssofunny, ttc#1, cycle 15, af/bfp due 28th March

dondon33 Wed 27-Feb-13 19:32:49

So far so good, <whispers - I'm still in up to now> I may poas in the morning as I'll be cd28 which is late for me.
Anyway what I wanted to say earlier was-
I know I'm a bad girl but I can never find the strength/commitment/willpower to quit smoking until I know I'm pregnant then I just stop cold turkey but this time I had previously managed to cut down massively, thinking it'll be a bit easier to stop when I get a BFP..........
So in the very early hours of this morning, something woke me up.... I sat bolt upright and told myself I won't be smoking in the morning and promptly went back to sleep. confused
So jump to getty up time and I immediately go to the kitchen, find my patches and stick one on my arm, I never even looked at the cigs on the table, not once ......... I'm something like 19-20 hrs without one now and you know what? apart from the habit side/hands I'm finding it surprisingly easy shock I doubt I'll feel like this tomorrow

Good luck to all testing, fx for more BFP's xx

Springbells Wed 27-Feb-13 19:38:23

Choc good luck for morning smile

Just realised I'm on cycle 10 now not 9 stupid brain no idea how to update the list on my ipad though! I'm such a plum!

chocoloulou33 Wed 27-Feb-13 23:11:22

Thanks dondon I got cramps atm sad
The bfp's have been left of list again. Think its coz I left a space. Clare8 has also been left off bottom.?? My crappy phone won't let me do it again grr. Can someone re-do it plz with the bfps & clare at the bottom. Don't want people being left off it smile x

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 00:03:46

im not 100% , thats according to clearblue... says 'the level of hCG fluctuates as it rises and it is therefore possible that the conception indicator will give unexpected results if you test on consecutive days. test again in 5 days..'
considering cb use levels of hcg to calculation conception i assume it applies..

think also depends on the type of test your using.. the internet cheapies gave much fainter lines than cb or fr.

really prayin its a sticky one x fx x

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 00:08:11

u know what you said about fmu? ive been the same. i seem to get darker lines early afternoon than i do with fmu blush maybe its the morning coffee going all diuretic on me and concentrating the hormone... hhmmm... <types into google>...

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 00:15:23

how do you see pics on here? dont know where you put themblush x

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 06:04:12

Morning ladies. It makes sense it fluctuates. When you do a measurement, the individual test results are fluctuates a lot. It's the trend that is important.

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 06:05:09

honey it's in the profile. You click on someone's name.

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 06:49:32

BFN sad why do I do this to myself. Why do I get my hopes up every month :'( x

ELA88 Thu 28-Feb-13 06:57:38

Ohh no choc I'm so sorry :-( hope you're ok. I'm actually dreading Monday now because I know AF will come and I've gotten my hopes up again this month. It's so rubbish :-( xxx

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 07:08:49

choc this roller coaster of hope and disappointment is part of ttc isn't it? Every cycle I think is the one for me.

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 07:18:58

big hugs choc, fx its just too early. Do brew and many many biscuit biscuit biscuit biscuit help?

thinking of you hunny.

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 07:40:55

awww choco sad im so sorry.. masses of chocolate and icecream to you sad x

ahh ill have to go on my lappy it wont let me tap on the names on my iphone hmm

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 07:49:02

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 10:24:22

motherofcleo that's a good sign. I couldn't stomach chicken last time in my first and second trimester. And chicken is my normal meat. They just tasted off.

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 10:28:59

one strange you say that, I left most of the chicken as it tasted odd, my OH tried it an said it was fine though. I think it's too early for anything like that really but it was a bit odd thats for sure.

Aw, sorry to see lots of bfn and af action today choc, don, ninja, pistachio and dreams. Hope the bfns still turn to bfps but if not you will get your turn!
Hope you're able to stay on bus even if it's upper deck. I'll be joining up there in few days, ela hope you don't! wine thanks and biscuit for you all x

padster75 Thu 28-Feb-13 14:03:06

taking sorry to see you here lovely

Sorry also that af seems to have appeared in a fair few locations over the past couple of days. Gutted for you all, but jealous as hell because it's red wine & pate this weekend for you. wine

Mind you I might be back on the pate and red wine next weekend. Not convinced I am upduffed. Although BBT is holding out above the baseline whatnotthingie. Still getting strange crampy sensations in tummy, once I had ruled out the Sainsburys liquorice twists wink I put it down to insides being as hormonal as the outside!!

PistachioTruffle Thu 28-Feb-13 14:09:00

Officially out, AF has arrived. I'm already out for March and it hasn't even started! Gutted.

dondon33 Thu 28-Feb-13 14:25:17

Pistachio Sorry AF got you too sad
Come upstairs with us and stay on the March bus - I'm up there now, albeit with a face like a slapped arse, but there none the less. Come on! we'll get pissed at the weekend and take the other's on a magical mystery tour......Where's those 'phallic' thingies that are supposed to be good/lucky for fertility? We could go there..... You in?

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 14:25:36

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 14:37:09

ahhh sorry to everyone who got AF, I'll catch that witch and give her a damn good kickin' for you! Thinking of you all.

Today is offically the day AF was due and nothing, no cramps no spotting, nothing. May have to accept that currently I am upduffed.

dondon33 Thu 28-Feb-13 14:58:19

One Yeah! I'm up for Japan - just let me inform dp of my movements this weekend and work out some kind of plan to ensure I'm back in time for work on Monday - but after that I'm good to go smile

Cleo please do kick the witch! and YEY!! glad it's starting to sink in, the further past AF's due date you now go - the less you can deny/doubt it smile

SpanishLady Thu 28-Feb-13 15:19:58

hurrah!

Springbells Thu 28-Feb-13 15:40:05

Ladies, can anyone help re opks? Do they gradually get darker toward ovulation or do they go suddenly? I should be getting a positive over the next few days, but absolutely nothing, not even a faint line. Hmm...

Updated my details on the list. Sorry to see so many of the feb bus stalked by the witch today. Lots of biscuit and wine flowing your way.

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 15:44:02

SpringBells i think they are suppose to go suddenly. You should only be able to detect a surge for at most 1-2 days. However that said, I've never had any luck with IC OPKs. I even tried doing it twice a day. I've bought a CBFM for my next cycle, but so far AF is evading me. (On 20 DPO currently).

PistachioTruffle Thu 28-Feb-13 15:49:07

Thanks ladies. dondon, I'll join you on the top deck with a matching slapped arse expression on the way to Japan. I'll bring the wine!

dondon33 Thu 28-Feb-13 15:54:01

Spanish Forgive me if I've missed a post earlier by you, I've looked and still can't see...... hurrah! Please elaborate - <Hunts Spanish down to find out> fx

ELA88 Thu 28-Feb-13 16:06:50

Aww no pixie have some faith...there's still a chance of BFP, although I am currently convincing myself AF will arrive on Monday. I would rather be pessimistic than get my hopes up for no reason! Sorry to all the ladies that the witch has got to this week sad fx for next month and hopefully April will be the time! Christmas babies anyone? Xxx

TakingTheStairs Thu 28-Feb-13 16:08:27

Hi Padster <waves>

Springbells Thu 28-Feb-13 16:08:47

Thanks one, will see what happens his weekend then!

Thanks everyone. Think I'd next be due on towards end of march so still on this bus. I. Certainly wasnt expecting to be pregnant so not really surprised at af.
Got my day1-4 blood test tomorrow and then gotta make am appointment to see doc to go over results, so we'll see.

Sorry posted too soon meant to say booooooo for all those who've been got by the witch and booooo again to any bfn.

PistachioTruffle Thu 28-Feb-13 18:58:24

<Distributes wine to everyone on top deck>

Im feeling a little better, DH has cheered me up with his unrelenting positivity and his absolute conviction that we're meant to have a Christmas baby!

Out of interest, does anyone take any supplements? I'm thinking of starting a separate thread about it, at the minute I'm just taking folic acid and vitamin d.

Pistachiotruffle, TTC #1, cycle 7, bfp due sometime in the future!

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 28-Feb-13 19:06:07

pistachio I'm using pregnacare his and hers, if that's the kind of supplement you mean.

Pixie001 Thu 28-Feb-13 19:32:42

pistachio I'm taking sanatogen's 'mum to be' think it's called and vit b6.
spring my ic opks start off blank and then get very faint line couple days before and then get dark line and then gradually goes again over nxt couple days.

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 19:33:36

hum pistachio now the last 6 months I have taken soooo many vits, my daily list was ad follows, I say was as I'm no longer taking the zinc
1 x vitabiotics immuncare (as it has all the pregnancy vits plus extra d3, women are advised to take d3 during ivf to help the egg stick, I figured I wanted some of that)
1 x 500mg vit c (vit c helps fertility)
1 x 15mg zinc (as above zinc helps fertility)
1 x 400mg vit e (helps fertility and can also help post ov spotting which I had an issue with)
4 x 10mg b6 (this was to stop post ov spotting too)

Hope that helps? God I look like a crazy pill lady confused

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 19:34:52

oh and all my opks had lines (although I only used them for 6 days over ov) they just got heaps darker when I ovd. smile

SpanishLady Thu 28-Feb-13 19:50:41

Sorry! I meant hurrah that CEO has no spotting.

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 20:05:40

I go away for the afternoon & now we're on our way to japan. Fab stuff. Been a busy day for me. Glad to be home. Dd & dsd in bed. Am in my onesie, a night of tv for me smile OH at darts so on my own. Gonna watch obem I think smile x

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 20:08:33

Soo am due af/bfp 2moro. Eek I just don't want 2moro to come after 2days bfn. I won't test again in morning, I just can't face it x

PistachioTruffle Thu 28-Feb-13 20:22:21

Thanks for the supplement information, I think I might do some more research and raid holland and Barrett! cleo, can I ask why you stopped taking the zinc? Was it for any reason?

ELA88 Thu 28-Feb-13 20:28:04

Fx choc just wait and see what happens...BFP could still be on it's way? Ohh OBEM wasn't the best choice of viewing tonight, am completely sobbing over the baby born with the bowel on the outside...not good! Xxx

dondon33 Thu 28-Feb-13 20:36:58

Ah OK SpanishLady forgive me getting all excited smile

Choc Enjoy your evening and ((big raspberries)) to bfn's - it's not over til it's over...fx af doesn't come.

Glad you're feeling a bit better pistachio

Aww my dp's lil face when I told him we weren't lucky this month sad he's more than happy now though.....when it dawned on him there'll be much more dtd until successful smile

Good luck anyone waiting to test/af and good luck all in ov week x

lyndsey90 Thu 28-Feb-13 21:12:38

March bus March bus. I'm jumping on the March bus! BFP expected who knows when due to Chemical MC early Feb!

Tinkerbellefairy Thu 28-Feb-13 21:19:46

Sorry to see so many BFN's (sad) I was thinking of POAS tomorrow. AF due sat not sure I can wait. Had really bad cramps last night tho so not hopeful although was strange as I don't often get any cramps. Will know soon enough I guess. Fx for everyone!

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 21:33:42

Thanks dondon & ela why oh why am I watching obem. Like u said very emotional with the poorly baby with bowels on outside. Prob not best time of month to be watching this! X

ELA88 Thu 28-Feb-13 21:45:45

Haha I'm now watching this wedding program and one of the weddings had the same music as I did walking down the aisle and burst into tears! What is wrong with me! Losing my marbles! Xxx

honey86 Thu 28-Feb-13 21:58:26

welcome lindsey smile aw so sorry to hear bout your mc sadthanks fx for a better cycle this time x

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 22:23:29

Oh I missed that weDding program. Will have to watch it on demand. What wedding music did u have? X

ELA88 Thu 28-Feb-13 22:26:48

Pachabel canon in D. I haven't heard it since I got married! Although I don't really even remember it playing then! Xxx

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 22:32:48

Ah wow me & OH have that piece of music saved on our computer. We both love it smile x

Pixie001 Thu 28-Feb-13 22:32:53

ela not allowed to watch wedding things or obem with dh. He hates them but I watched don't teLl the bride last night when he was out. We got married last year but still love watching it!
don aw bless your dh, cute smile
Hi lynds! Sorry to hear of cp...think you'd just got bfp when I hopped off feb bus
tinker fx for you, let us know how you get on if you do poas

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 22:35:13

Hi pistachio I stopped taking the zinc as it boosts your immune system and I think your immune system lowers a bit when pregnant so as to not regect the pregnancy thought it best to not push my luck with that.

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 22:39:07

I dont watch dont tell the bride often or obem ever as Ive never been involved in either of the lofe events. sad Do love a bit of dont tell the bride every now and again as a guilty pleasure though wink

MotherOfCleo Thu 28-Feb-13 22:41:03

lofe = life blush

Pops78 Thu 28-Feb-13 22:57:57

Hello Ladies, sorry for not being on more. I just love reading your developments but am useless at posting. As I said in previous post was convinced last weekend I was getting symptoms but frankly I was a loon as still not due till next tues earliest. God the 2ww is awful. My friend had a little boy today and I was so thrilled and excited I started crying in the middle of Sainsburys. Then convinced myself that was pg hormones. Really happy for those bfps so far, so sorry for the bfns and wishing lots more bfps to come ;-)

chocoloulou33 Thu 28-Feb-13 23:54:31

Hi pops the wait is rubbish isn't it. Got my hopes up again this month silly me! Due on 2moro & am cramping big time. Got a BFN 2day. Got a busy weekend planned so if af does show up will have lots to take my mind off it.
I love don't tell the bride! Have it on series link!!
I didn't lose any weight this week but didn't put any on either. So not bad on a week where I've eaten complete crap! X

dondon33 Fri 01-Mar-13 03:07:24

Middle of the bloody night - when normal people are sleeping and I'm wide awake
angry It's 03.26 here and my alarm will go off at 6 so no point to continue trying to force myself asleep now.
I fecking hate Af's 1st day and night, besides the pain and cramping I hate how my temperature fluctuates - my blood literally boils and I can't stay comfortable - poor dp doesn't like it neither, says it's like sleeping next to a radiator, not so bad for him in the winter smile

Hi Lyndsey sorry about your CM, welcome aboard the march bus and gl x

Agreed pops 2ww is crap!

Still have fx choc

Good luck Tinker fx for you.

pixie aww honestly I could have cried for him but..... I have a sneaky feeling that he's going to change his mind about following Dr Shettles method (for a boy) thank the lord
He knows it can take much longer doing it that way and of course, there's no guarantee's. So I have roughly 10 days to coerce put forward my way of thinking smile I want to try 'sperm meets egg' plan....So many people get lucky very quickly from what I've read.

Hope you're all slumbering peacefully. envy
I'm about to go make my first brew of the day, I'm gunna need a bucket full to keep me awake all day confused

dondon33 Fri 01-Mar-13 03:10:10

ha ha it was 03.26 here- then I got distracted on google and it's now 04.10

Meant to add you're all making me envy about reality shows....I only get re-runs of them here sad

Dreamstoreality Fri 01-Mar-13 07:20:08

FMU and still BFN.. Still no AF..

What I have got is a migraine and I daren't take any medication in case.. Tempted to pull a sickie.

QueenofClean Fri 01-Mar-13 07:31:00

Ladies I need your advice. I'm due to start ov this week, DH has got over his chest infection but is working very hard at moment so incredibly tired when gets in and once we've sorted our DD's to bed and had dinner all he wants to do is sleep. What can I do?

OneLittleToddleTerror Fri 01-Mar-13 08:13:52

queenofclean you have my sympathies. We started ttc from end of September. But for many cycles, we have to write it off because one of us was poorly, DH was away for work, etc etc. I don't force us to bd in this case. But it depends on how you and your DH feel about it.

Pixie001 Fri 01-Mar-13 09:34:48

queen I agree with one...whilst so hard to miss a few days at the critical time as you know that's another cycle gone, the worst thing you can do in my opinion is force things when it's not the right time as it puts you off and makes it a chore. That said, if you jump dh and he responds and you do the hard work, maybe it'll be ok...are mornings any better? Tbh I think you need to take each opportunity as it comes. take it easy.
dreams no af cramps is a good sign! Not much you can do apart from wait which I know is frustrating. Hope migrane passes, did you pull a sickie?

Dreamstoreality Fri 01-Mar-13 09:54:08

Nope. No sickie. Instead sitting in a lecture reading mumsnet under my desk.. Aren't I a rebel!

chocoloulou33 Fri 01-Mar-13 10:22:27

I got cramps still but nothing yet, almost to scared to go to the loo! Bad headache this morning too. Don't think I should of had an easter egg for breakfast but was feeling sorry for myself! May have a little sleep b4 I go into work!. Hope the rest of you that are due 2day don't have a visit from the witch!
My phone being rubbish & I can't view all the posts properly so hope I haven't missed any bfp's! Also I think quietninjatardis got her af yesterday sad so date needs changing x

SpanishLady Fri 01-Mar-13 11:09:22

Happy 1st day of Spring everyone

ELA - do you have enough pregnancy tests eg can yoou afoord to 'lose' one so to speak if your period isnt due yet. I've been able to get a BFP on 12dpo but know that isnt true of everyone so a bfn might not mean you arent - sorry thats no help as I have no will power whatsoever so certainly cant blame you if you cant wait!

FX choco

for me - Im going to test again this weekend - Sunday if I can bear to wait. I have done three pregnancy tests this week alone (one on Monday and two on Tuesday - one of these being a digital test) all BFP but we want to see if I continue to get BFPs if they are moving along - the line tests were there but not dark and the digital was 1-2 weeks preg - so I am looking for a 2-3 week as per my amateur deductions I would take that to mean the HCG is building.

I would then have had a line BFN on 9th Feb, a digital BFN on 14th Feb, a line BFN on 24th Feb and then 4 BFPs (mixed type of tests) in the week of 25th Feb. If I am pregnant (for those who havent yet been bored by my tirals and tribulations - I have this paranoia that my BFPs are still to do with my MC at the start of the month rather then a new pregnancy - it is after all only 4 week today since I miscarried) then I am 4 weeks if I take the MC as a 'period' - so Im right at the start and would then have to decide what to do about getting in touch the midwife - do I wait until week 7 and call them and see if they will give me an early reassurance scan or do I wait until I have passed the stage I miscarried (8 weeks 5 days) as sadly MC has left me cautious and doubtful.

Then of course if my paranoia is well placed and it isnt a new pregnancy but something left over from my last pregnancy might I be doing damage not telling the midwife/my doctor - though I dont feel unwell but and I say this cautiously I do have morning sickness and threw up last night which does feel more like how I felt when pregnant with my son (I had no symptoms at all with the pregnancy I miscarried)

so my dears you can see how my mind is whirring and like you all just hoping at some point it will work out for me.

Spanish lady When i had my m/c about 6 weeks ago I had a blood test at the EPU a week after I'd first started bleeding and the hormones had already dropped down far enough to below level where could be considered pregnant (realise it might not be the same for everyone and I was only just 6 weeks when bleeding began)

Fx that your lines get darker!

DP is back tonight after working away, reckon I'm going to ov in 7-9 days so its all systems go! smile

SpanishLady Fri 01-Mar-13 13:25:27

naturally I have been sitting here (I am working from home today) thinking - lots of thinking and all my best intentions give way.

I used one of the two clear blue digitals sitting in my kitchen cabinet - has come up Pregnant 2-3 weeks

So I've got my 'proof' so to speak that my hormones think something is going on. Whats the consensus on this thread? When should I talk to the MW?

TakingTheStairs Fri 01-Mar-13 13:25:59

spanishlady, wow you have been through a really tough time, no wonder your mind is whirring! Personally I would call the midwife earlier rather than later and let them make the decisions for you based on their medical qualifications, you'll only be second guessing yourself other wise. And yes, do ask for an early scan.
Fx for you!

honey86 Fri 01-Mar-13 14:23:12

congrats spanish lady thanks sounds like its getting comfy.. thats alot youve dealt with take it easy x

SpanishLady Fri 01-Mar-13 15:02:23

thanks! Have told my DH and he says that he cant believe I'd have 3 negative tests and then get positives if it wasnt a new pregnancy - so I have his permission to get a bit excited.

He says he just wants me to be happy and is only worried how it will effect me if it doesnt go well but in his mind hearing me throw up last night has given him hope so we need to stop being so scared and timid and have some confidence in the little chick.

I'll update the list and just keep my fingers crossed!

honey86 Fri 01-Mar-13 16:23:31

oh god little worried starting to really cramp sad i hope im not about to mc again sad x

MotherOfCleo Fri 01-Mar-13 16:46:38

ahhh honey everything crossed for you hun, isnt some cramping normal? Hope all is ok. Thinking of you.

honey86 Fri 01-Mar-13 17:00:50

yeah but this feels like im about to come on full force... mild but worse than before.. x

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 17:24:34

Sheesh today at work was a struggle!
Don't know if it's anxiety symptoms or what?!
Been so light headed, dizzy, slightly nauseous, breasts ache and slight stomach ache. And no it's not symptom spotting!! Had to eat 2 bars of chocolate to even feel remotely normal. I've bought some hpt's but don't know whether to test or not. Gah!!!

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 17:27:10

Spanish
I'm in your boat, had m/c start of month too. No idea when to expect af! It's so confusing!!! Xx

OneLittleToddleTerror Fri 01-Mar-13 17:32:05

lyndsey and spanish adding me three. I had a mc at end of Jan. Day 40 now but clueless when my AF is supposed to due.

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 17:35:00

Aww bless us! one was yours early?? My af was late, got her 4/5 days late. Period was extra long. Few days later started to bleed again so took test and was bfp. Started having heavy pains and lots of bleeding over the few days after than and it stopped a week into Feb.

No idea if it's possible to be pregnant again this soon though. I've got the same signs as last time though x

OneLittleToddleTerror Fri 01-Mar-13 17:43:27

I was at the end of 6 weeks, starting week 7. I've got positive bfp about 4 days after missing my periods. I had booked for my booking in appointment, so had a midwife assigned. The midwife told me there is no reason why I can't try immediately again. So the good news is we could all potentially get a bfp again this cycle!

OneLittleToddleTerror Fri 01-Mar-13 17:44:47

Also I have got myself a CBFM. It says on the leaflet that I can't start using it until about 2-3 cycles after the mc. (I can't remember if it's 2 or 3). Basically we can still have hcg in our blood stream, and that the cycles won't be stable for a bit.

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:01:56

I did get a negative on the test I did at the end of m/c. Did one Wednesday too and that was negative so hopefully I'm back to normal. Well, as normal as I can get?! X

deliasmithy Fri 01-Mar-13 18:13:56

Uh oh, cramps are here...
I don't think I ov'd this month but even so,i had been hoping.

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:18:01

Oh no delia damn af! X

SpanishLady Fri 01-Mar-13 18:22:59

honey - i hope it is just the usual cramping you can get in pregnancy - everything stretching etc. FX

one and lyndsey FX for you this month - I believe the general rule of thumb seems to be that you can ttc again if you feel emotionally and physically up to it - we had intended to wait for AFP and only dtd as I thought I'd already ov (if at all) so there wouldnt be any harm - it was lovely to be intimate again for no other reason then because we felt like it. It is quite lovely to have fallen preg then as it felt very special.

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:28:10

Yeah I know what you mean one
It's been my birthday week and we've been shagging all month more than normal lol. Think it might be because I was bleeding and out of action for so long!!! X

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:34:50

I'm on CD36 BTW lol

Pixie001 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:36:03

Congrats spanish and fx it's a sticky one for you! thanks stdavids
delia and choc cramps for me too..was convinced I was gonna be greeted by af when I went to loo but it does this to me for a few days so expect she'll arrive as scheduled mon. <Bats af away from us all and gives her an angry face in the hope keeps her off>
honey really do hope these are natural cramps, keep relaxed and try not to worry <flicks thru tv channels to find sommit to keep honey entertained...well equipped this bus! Wud u prefer hollyoaks or bang goes the theory?>
ela I'd say only poas if you have ICs, are ok if u get bfn due to testing early and like most of us have no patience! ...otherwise you might want to hang on couple more days
Yiiiippppeee it's the wknd!! Diy for me sad how bout everyone else?

lyndsey90 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:39:05

Work work work all weekend for me!! No play time for lyndsey!!

Pixie001 Fri 01-Mar-13 18:58:04

Oh and choc in my role as weight loss buddy I feel the need to remind you that easter's still a month away, eggs are not a nutricious breakfast, choc makes you fat and af has not yet arrived so try not to be miserable grin

ELA88 Fri 01-Mar-13 19:46:00

I've decided to just wait for AF to arrive on monday! And hope it doesn't arrive! Xxx

deliasmithy Fri 01-Mar-13 20:26:45

I had a good weekend planned but OH just called to say can't make it, has to work!
Luckily, I've got a monster bag of sensations crisps to pig out on this evening!
This week seems to have been rubbish for a lot of peeps.

QueenofClean Fri 01-Mar-13 20:53:18

Can't name check as on my phone but we dtd earlier and I ov 4 days early last time so it's just on time smile

Easter eggs are not good or nutritious for breakfast.

Hope you have a sticky bean.

Fx for all this poas this weekend!

chocoloulou33 Fri 01-Mar-13 23:36:51

pixie thanks for diet advice, I am now going to sit in corner & think about what I've done hmm do I still have access to the tv?! Loving that af is being kept away from us by batting her away & angry faces! I was due af 2day & am NEVER late so am once again getting hopes up. Only did a test yesterday & bfn & am still cramping on & off so am sure am not, this is just all messing with my mind. I AM going to test in morning just because I am going out to a party 2moro night & want to drink knowing its safe! Have got ic & fr so will use both to be sure. Anyone else testing in morning? Oh & congrats to spanishlady smile x

Pops78 Sat 02-Mar-13 07:01:21

Congrats Spanish lady. I did a test yesterday morning and bfn. Prob too early but convinced myself am not pg now so drank at dinner (away for night with dh) now feeling guilty...

chocoloulou33 Sat 02-Mar-13 08:13:15

Bfn sad

Dreamstoreality Sat 02-Mar-13 08:31:18

Spanish Congratulations!!! grin Send some baby dust around

Another fmu BFN today and still no AF. sad Pretty confident I'm not and if Im not just want AF to get here so we start again. Joke is I can normally predict within a 3 hour window when she'll arrive but this months she's late. This TTC conceive seems to be playing with my mind and body confused

Congrats Spanish lady!

Bit grumpy as a house me and dh were looking at was swiped from under our noses. Had my day2 blood test yesterday and I now have 3 holes in my arms cos I have crap veins that are 'too small and keep moving' hmm

I'm decided to keep positive. I will get pregnant this month. It'll mean that the baby would be due in the same month as ds was born and ds will be 4 when the baby's born, but that's ok isn't it? Ds will not be older than 4 when I have another one <stubborn>
Positive mental thoughts, positive mental thoughts.
Good luck to everyone still waiting/testing can't keep up, sorry

MotherOfCleo Sat 02-Mar-13 09:23:09

big BIG hugs for my buddy choc.

brew an biscuit in bed all round I say. I hardly slept an have diy to do today, oh joy.

theboob Sat 02-Mar-13 09:27:56

congrats spanish
BFN here too , doctors appointment Monday to see whats going on as no AF since light bleed begining of Jan .So annoying and on top of all this I am writing my dissertation and keep day dreaming

hope everyone else is well x

barebranches Sat 02-Mar-13 10:10:28

if im 7dpo and i did a first responce tomorrow morning... is it worth it? no symptoms....

Tinkerbellefairy Sat 02-Mar-13 10:42:44

Congratulations Spanish!
Try to stay positive honey I'm sure everythings fine.
Well POAS yesterday and Bfn sad only cycle1 but gutted. Can't believe how quickly you get sucked up into the ttc madness. To make it worse now have to wait ages to start again as we agreed to miss next month. A close friend of ours was born Boxing Day and has always said how rubbish its been for her being a Christmas baby so the wait till April begins.
So I'm going to sulk to the back of the bus (armed with lots of chocolate brownies to share around) and hang about to see the BFP's roll in. Fx for you all!

ELA88 Sat 02-Mar-13 15:13:24

I have a random question and hope it's not TMI but google didn't prove to be much help! I keep getting a sharp stabbing pain in my pubic bone, really down low. It doesn't last for more than a couple of seconds and I'm only feeling it every now and again, it started last night though? Is it normal?! I've never had it before! AF is due Monday so not sure if its due to that? Xxx

lyndsey90 Sat 02-Mar-13 19:50:24

CD37 tested this morning, bfn. Just started with cramp just above my groin, doesn't feel like af cramps :/

dondon33 Sat 02-Mar-13 20:05:57

Congrats Spanish smile

I hope you're ok honey and it's just normal cramping.

Sorry all getting bfn or Af sad

Good luck to all still 'in' or trying, fx crossed for all x

Pixie001 Sun 03-Mar-13 08:14:02

tinkerbell good point on potential xmas due date...have put nxt cycle into calendar and if 2 wk overdue it'd be xmas day! dh says not to be fussy and of course he's right but still...anyone else having reservations?

bare you're too early yet...another few days to wait for you I'd say

ela I also had stabbing pain one night couple days ago...bit strange and not sure what to put it down to so I settled on it being prep for af arrival altho hope that's not the case for both of us!..it didn't last long

ninja and boob hope drs get to bottom of things and can set your mind at rest.

Had a right old go at dh on fri. He's getting used to the pmt wrath now thankfully so just lets me be angry irrational and unreasonable! smile

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 09:06:06

No I don't have reservations on a December baby. The same that I won't stop ttc just to avoid a summer born. I guess if I'm younger I might. But I just want a baby now!

Is it a problem if the birthday is 1/12? How about 15/12? How about 10/1? Your EDD is just an estimate. My DD arrived on week 37. My next might well be at 42 weeks. To avoid a birthday near December, you would have to stop for might be 2 cycles, depending on where they lie.

It's even more of a problem if you think this way for a summer baby. Many research has been done and all indicate summer borns are worse off academically and also in sports.

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 09:07:29

I mean 2 out of 12 cycles a year is 1/6th of the year! It's quite a lot if you think that way.

chocoloulou33 Sun 03-Mar-13 09:38:09

Morning lovelies. Sadly no good news from me. Af is here in full force. Gutted right now but refuse to get rly upset like I did last month. Currently nursing a hangover which is rly not helping. Onto month 7 then sad xx

Dreamstoreality Sun 03-Mar-13 10:00:38

Still no AF and haven't bothered POAS this morning - sick of getting BFN.

I'm so glad others are feeling the same about Christmas babies. I'm an August baby myself and always loved my birthday being in the summer (no school, days out and something to look forward to).

However like onelittle I too no longer feel I have the luxury of putting off TTC for a couple of months and would happily spend Xmas day in labour if it means I at last get my much longed for little one. I didn't always feel this way though..

deliasmithy Sun 03-Mar-13 10:04:44

AF has come too. Got a bit upset last night but just gotta focus on making the most of things.

I've also discovered that buying dresses off EBay is good therapy!

BabyFaker Sun 03-Mar-13 11:09:18

Hello all, I'm hopping on the bus!

TTC DC1, cycle 3.

Been a bit crap so far this month. I'm on CD 12 already and only DTD on cd 4 and yesterday, cd11! I've just started temping and wonder if I have ov'd already.

Cd 1 & 2 was 36.3 and yesterday was 36.6 and today 36.41 - I was waiting for a better thermometer the days in between! grin

BabyFaker Sun 03-Mar-13 11:15:36

Ah I see you are all thinking about Christmas and winter babies - I feel similarly! Ideally I'd have gotten preg first month (yeah right!) as I've done all the reading on winter/summer babies too....

Can't remember if it's best sep-dec or are they still the winter babies jan-feb?

Bajas Sun 03-Mar-13 11:25:16

Not at all bothered about Christmas baby- like a few others I don't have the luxury of time.

Although I do hope I don't have a July baby- being on maternity pay when I would normally be on full pay with holidays (teacher) would cut my time off actual work pretty short due to finances.

MotherOfCleo Sun 03-Mar-13 11:38:10

I always thought dec/jan wouldnt be the best time to have a baby but tbh I wouldnt have stopped ttc because of it. All things going as they should (everything crossed) this little one should be due 7th November, an early xmas pressy. grin

chocoloulou33 Sun 03-Mar-13 11:50:14

What cycle are you on now delia let's hope its our turn next x

BabyFaker Sun 03-Mar-13 11:53:52

Congrats motherofcleo!!

I'm a frequent name changer so know you from the other buses!! wink

You'll have a little bonfire baby. Lovely.

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 12:41:37

It's best to be the oldest in class. In England that would mean July and August borns have odds stacked against them at school. They are more likely to struggle, not picked to sports team etc. they found the difference still exist at university entrance. I think this is the shocking bit, given we intuitively think it would matter at reception, and shouldn't by late primary.

If you work on that principle, you are left with sep-nov, then feb to start of jun grin

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 12:45:08

bajas July to September good for nursery places when you return to work too! I had so much trouble last time because DD is a spring baby. All the good nurseries told me they have their main intake at September, but have spaces from August since many would leave early before school starts. DD ended up at my third choice until September! And I put my name down before she was born.

Bajas Sun 03-Mar-13 13:56:16

Hadn't even thought of that one! Hopefully we'll get our bfps soon and not have to worry about it grin

QueenofClean Sun 03-Mar-13 14:02:59

Those talking about Christmas babies. DD2 was born on 22 Dec 2011 and all is fine. Obvs we are hoping we are lucky this month for a Nov baby but if luck has us down for a Dec baby it will be due around DD2 birthday.

Tinkerbellefairy Sun 03-Mar-13 15:09:50

I really hope I haven't caused any offence about Christmas babies. I appreciate that if I had been trying a long time then I would not be bothered what month it was. It is just mine and hubbies personal choice at this stage of trying due to speaking with friends born that month who have had trouble organising birthday parties, received one present rather than a birthday and a christmas present etc and so we are thinking more of the child rather than the potential of me being in hospital over Christmas. Although again pur friends are perfectly happy people so nothing wrong with being born then either. Plus seeing as originally we were planning on waiting till December to start ttc then fortunately we do have luxury of being picky for just one month but I do appreciate others may not have this luxury. I'm also a teacher and from experience there are some chn who do struggle a little because of being August babies but equally some of the August chn are also some of the brightest in class so really does depend on individuals. Again really sorry if I have caused offence- that was not my intention! Out of interest are there others considering missing next month?

marie456 Sun 03-Mar-13 15:23:52

I've missed the March bus too ladies. In the queue now for April as AF arrived early (making 27 day cycle this time- been a bit varied since AF returned after stopping pill last year). AF arrived during what was meant to be a nice meal in a lovely restaurant last night. To make things worse we were sat at a table next to a heavily pregnant lady talking to the waitress about the forthcoming birth of her son. I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I soooo was!! Gutted gutted gutted. Also gutted for all you other ladies having their nice weekends ruined by AF arrival.

...Also had the thoughts about a christmas baby, but we would like a child so much now I don't think I can bare to try and wait. I'm 31 in a few weeks so want to keep things moving, especially as would like at least 2 children.

My updated details. Marie 456 (wish I'd thought of more original name!) TTC #1 Cycle 5. AF/BFP due 2nd April (my birthday week, so will either be am amazing one or a sh*t one)

JellyBeanDavey Sun 03-Mar-13 15:25:15

Here I am, jumping on the march bus even though my ticket was for February bus. Now day 48 and nothing, not even a cramp in sight.

Will be testing tomorrow morning if I remember. I very much doubt ill get a BFP.

Any BFP for the march bus yet?

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 15:36:46

Jelly I think there are a couple. Welcome on the board on the 'clinging on from Feb' deck grin

Skinnywhippet Sun 03-Mar-13 15:58:52

Hi,
TTC number 1. Came off implanon a week and a half ago. Been using opk and had a surge yesterday and been dtd around this time so fingers crossed. Not sure hubby can cope with dtd again tonight but might have to persuade him! Would be amazing to get bfp on cycle 1 but anything can happen!

QueenofClean Sun 03-Mar-13 16:00:38

We won't be missing next month if we are not lucky this cycle. We didn't think about timing when DD2 was born but it all worked out fine. smile

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 16:12:12

Can I still join? TTC #2, cycle ?? as we've been trying on and off for about 9-10 months, but my cycle is weird (and short). What is BFP exactly?

Bajas Sun 03-Mar-13 16:17:07

Big fat positive- what we're all hoping for!

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 16:19:06

have been off the pill for over a year, but must admit that big part of our problem is the lack of bedroom action. DS sleeps veeeerrrrryyyy badly ever since he was born, both our jobs too stressful (so lots of work at night), DH a morning person me a night person (so makes it harder to go to bed at the same time), and my period is rather long with a short cycle (loads of blood loss for 7 days, cycle varies somewhere between 21 and 26 days, so we should to start DTD while I'm still 'enjoying' AF, not really appealing, but I guess we'll have to get over ourselves).

BTW, I'll be 37 at the end of April.

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 16:20:04

Ah, non-native speaker, so had been trying to think of all sorts of combinations. :-)

dondon33 Sun 03-Mar-13 17:23:38

Hi all joining the bus ((Waves)) welcome and good luck smile

I'm currently cd4....patiently waiting to start the OPK's again and quite bored at the moment.......on the plus side though Dp is slowly coming round to my way of thinking regarding this Dr Shettles malarky ( Remember -He want's to do it for a boy, I'm not arsed smile and I think it's going to take much longer to get a BFP AND he still might not get what he wants ) I have a few more days to work on him smile

Where you from Duchy ? or is that a stooopid question and your name gives it away? smile

R.E - Xmas babies.... I had thought about it, I had a few friends who had bdays right around Xmas and they said it was crap! but it's not enough to make me avoid it completely....I'm more concerned about the weather here in winter, this years coldest -25 last years was - 30 shock and the snow is horrendous. I lost count of the amount of times I have slipped and landed on my arse good job I'm well cushioned smile but I would literally be mostly trapped indoors when heavily preg and weeble like in that kind of weather sad
My 3 dc's are all summer babies and those of you from the UK know - summer there is not so bad, more uncomfortable while heavily preg - except with my dc1, that year was an Indian summer shock

Hope everyone's well, including the little beans we already have here smile x

LondonSuperTrooper Sun 03-Mar-13 17:32:47

Hi all, I'm de-lurking to join the rest of you smile

I'm currently CD19 but not expecting a BFP this month. My DH has been having issues in ahem, performing! I think that the pressure of actually doing it is causing him anxiety and we just can't DTD sad We are hoping that he will be given something by the GP when he sees him tomorrow. Fingers crossed he'll be OK for my next cycle. We have missed 2 cycles due to not DTD.

Regarding the Christmas babies comment - personally I will carry on and hope for a BFP regardless of the EDD! I'm 39 years old and have problems in conceiving so I can't afford to be choosy and skip a cycle or two. Plus I've had a miscarriage and with recent issues of DTD, I just want to get on with it IYSWIM. I just want a healthy baby!

gillian1986 Sun 03-Mar-13 18:10:26

Popping my head in!

AF has been and gone and I'm ready to really go for it this month!!!

My iPhone app and calculations suggest i should be fertile/ovulating from around Wednesday so... I'm gearing myself up for a week of dtd! ;)

Also got opk's this month which i havent used before so interested to see if they match up with my calculations!
..........and got conceive plus lubricant this month too haha... Used it yesterday and seemed to be good! ;)

Re Xmas babies, I really don't mind when my baby is born as long as he/she is lovely and healthy and wonderful! I'd love a baby ASAP (like most people ttc) and would actually love to be coming to the end of my pregnancy in autumn/winter rather than summer.
I'm in London and can't deal with the commute and underground in summer normally... Let alone when I'm pregnant!

So... I'm hoping this is my month! Good thing is that me and hubby are really enjoying dtd lately... More than ever... So that helps!

Good luck everyone! I think it's going to be a good month!!!!

I've also got a job interview tomorrow so.. Fingers crossed!!!! I need a change in work and this is a good opportunity ;)

xoxox

dondon33 Sun 03-Mar-13 19:15:17

Good luck Gillian both for the job and BFP smile

Hi London welcome aboard smile Hope the Dr helps you.

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 03-Mar-13 19:21:00

Hi london how long have you been ttc? If it is a year already, I believe you could start getting your GP to refer you to a fertility clinic already because of age. I'm 38 so I can understand the feeling of clock ticking away. Hope the doc can help your poor DH.

gillian1986 Sun 03-Mar-13 19:21:42

Thanks dondon.. Hoping I will conceive soon although not sure how work will feel about that especially after possibly getting a new job haha!

But I am soooo stressed in my current position and the hours/shifts/work are causing me a lot of upset.
So.. This new position is better hours and more relaxed. So whether I conceive or not, it will be really good for me! Fingers crossed smile

ELA88 Sun 03-Mar-13 19:28:48

AF due tomorrow...am actually really nervous! I really don't want it to come but I have had really terrible moods today and yesterday so think she's well on her way! Have argued with my dh more this weekend than the whole time we've been together! Xxx

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 20:56:44

hi dondon33, yep, the name gives it away, I'm a Dutch mnetter, living in the Netherlands. A British friend told me about AIBU and I was hooked afterwards. smile

Don't like the idea of a December baby, also because of the amount of family parties etc., and the weather, but given my age and the age gap with DS (2.11 now), I don't want to lose a cycle.

Pixie001 Sun 03-Mar-13 22:08:12

af has got me sad. not unexpected given dh's absence right when i needed him this mth but cramps had disappeared which had got me confused and got hopes up.
ela so sorry but i'm gonna be heading to the upper deck, hope tomorrow passes with no af for you.
london the ladies gave me some great advice about dh's flag raising attempts earlier on in the thread...worth a read smile. let me know how you get on...it's good to hear from someone else with similar issues
gillian good luck at interview tomorrow ponders how long it's right to wait before asking about mat leave policy

I've had a go at updating passenger list but there's loads who don't have stats so feel free to add. hope i've not missed anyone.

Aw pixie so sorry sad <Leads you to the top deck where we AF'ers are pissed and misbehaving eating pate, soft cheese, liver and raw eggs smile>
Onwards and upwards and fx for later in the month x

Honey - where are you? I hope all is OK hun x

dondon33 Sun 03-Mar-13 22:44:19

Oops! jumped to last page without reading properly blush

Stressed and upset are definitely not good Gillian sod work smile I know a few places I've worked had a policy of - you must have been working for the company for a min of 26 weeks in a perm position, before taking mat leave - which in your case could be good ;) Personally I wouldn't mention it at all in the interview, I'd wait and see what happens smile

Ela fx for you x STAY AWAY AF you've cursed enough of us this month.

I'm off to bed got to be up at 6 and its currently 23.44 sad I hate mornings Goodnight all x

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 22:44:56

ex-BIL has his birthday on Boxing day and so for 8 years, we spent X-mas day at PIL's for their formal dinner and Boxing day at BIL and SIL, "because we couldn't possibly have other engagements." We spent x-mas evening at my parents. sad
Last year, we finally got to spend x-mas day at my parents and boxing day at PIL's.

dutchyoriginal Sun 03-Mar-13 22:49:48

That's why I'm a bit hmm about x-mas babies. smile

My last AF started on 16/2, and the one before that on 31/1 (so only 16 days!), so my BFP will be anywhere between 5/3 and 15/3 (my cycle used to be 26 days).

chocoloulou33 Mon 04-Mar-13 00:12:40

Hope list is ok, I've updated my details as I am on cycle 7 now. Anyone else's info need changing?
I have never rly wanted a xmas baby but now I am on 7th month of trying me & OH rly don't care. We just think it will happen when its meant too. If I get pg this month I'll be due about 8th dec, if month after it will be about 4th jan. So no way I'm gonna stop ttc for 2 months, just not worth it xx
Sorry af got you pixie same cycle days for us this month then. Let's go thru this together!!! X

Choc - been trying since September, had wanted to start Jan last year but OH wanted to wait. Feels like forever though!

dondon33 Mon 04-Mar-13 03:45:51

Grrr that didn't last long, slept for around 2.5 hours angry
Absolutely fed up with not sleeping properly,It's like a form of torture sad
I've got a whole host of sleeping pills in the cupboard, both natural and prescription but both are off limits for me, can't touch any of them while ttc/preg. I just look longingly at them and close the cupboard door while reaching for the coffee smile

Duchy do you know why your cycles are so short?
I used to be an every 28 day girl, like clockwork, then mine went a bit weird, now I'm usually between 25/27 days. Shortest was 22 days but when I monitored I realised that I was taking Valerian Root sleeping aid every night at the start of the cycles that were very short.
I done a bit of research and found it can mess with (most often bring forward) ovulation and therefore AF.....I've never touched them since and never had a short cycle since.

QueenofClean Mon 04-Mar-13 06:45:59

2ww starts for me today as DH away for rest of week on business. So fx.

padster75 Mon 04-Mar-13 07:12:14

One I have a summer baby DS, in fact 2nd youngest in his year. The worry surrounding academic achievement is laughable and as for sports ..... well he plays first team rugby for his school (often playing with and against boys 3 years older than him) and also represents his county. He's athletics captain for the school, plays first team cricket and football ........... I could go on and on. Like every child, they grow and develop with love and help. It does infuriate me when I hear of 'summer' babies not doing well, I just have always given my DS time and attention when he's needed it. The only problem we have ever had is having enough of his friends around for parties, as most are usually on their summer holidays!!

So sorry to hear af has caught up with a few of you, guess its pate and red wine all round.

CD27 here, got builders in tomorrow until Thursday putting in a new boiler, something tells me my hormones are going to be screaming at them. I hate builders, I hate having to take 3 days annual leave to babysit them. argghhhhhh

chocoloulou33 Mon 04-Mar-13 07:14:08

delia omg same as me, I wanted to start in Jan last year but we were unsure as we were going on hol abroad in the sept & decided to wait, soooo wish we hadn't. U on cycle 7 then? Think list is wrong? What's your new bfp due date x

ELA88 Mon 04-Mar-13 07:17:54

Thank dondon I have everything crossed for myself too. I don't feel like AF is due but I also don't feel pregnant! I feel nothingness! Knowing me it will be a late AF!
Aww no pixie I'm sorry AF got you :-( enjoy the top of the bus, I'm sure ill be joining you before the end of the week! Xxx

theboob Mon 04-Mar-13 07:57:37

For all those worrying about a xmas baby .....Dh has a birthday on the 2nd of dec and it's always a good one , my birthday is 4th of Jan and i HATE it !
for as long as i can remember i have cried on my birthday , i would love my birthday over xmas as everyone is already in the spirit to celebrate , cone Jan everyone wants to be tucked away and skint till feb sad

Congrats on the BFPs Honey86, Motherofcleo and SpanishLady!! Hope we get more of these in the coming weeks wink

I am officially on my 2ww, hoping I won't go mental symptom spotting grin Can't say we didn't put more effort this time wink We have never dtd as much as in the last 2 weeks - even in pitch darkness without electricity!

Springbells Mon 04-Mar-13 09:20:06

I'm starting to get worried about my short cycles (last one was 23 days) - the perils of googling too much...

Anyway, my AF started last Wed and is now over so will be getting back in the DTD saddle tonight and will give it all we can this week!

3yo DD is clearly not supporting our mission to TTC though as she is waking loads through the night so we're bloody knackered! Not sure this puts us in the most conducive mood for baby making but fingers crossed we can do it!

ELA88 Mon 04-Mar-13 12:17:21

honey I talked about it with dh yesterday and we decided if AF if a no show by weds then we'll test Thursday morning. I'm aware my cycle still might be a bit of a mess from coming off the pill. We'll see, I don't feel like AF is on it's way at the moment though! Xxx

Sorelip Mon 04-Mar-13 12:38:56

I think AF may be on the way, still getting cramps and have bitten DH's head off a few times this morning. Wish it would hurry up and come.

Hi Ladies, I decided to chill out about ttc this month and took the JS route. It worked I got my BFP yesterday morning smile

PS Congratulations CLeo grin

Got another bfn this morning. I've been having lots of CM and funny cramps/movement down there which keep me thinking "oh no, please don't come"

I'm now of day 49, cycle 5/month 6. Not a clue when my period was due or is due.
Think my details need updating.

Ill test again Friday probs.

Hi all, hope you've room for a little one! Just waiting for AF to do one then will be cracking on TTC DC2! DS (17mo) was born 2 months prem after a rotten pregnancy consisting of SPD, high BP, GD, and a bicornuate uterus so I'm a bit nervous but have lost 45 pounds in preparation as I was very fat unfit last time, I now do more exercise than I ever have before so hoping to manage better this time!

Sammieh86 Mon 04-Mar-13 15:02:48

Hurray for all the BFP-ladies! Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy and the little bean at the other side of it.

lisbapalea, your story sounds very familiar, with toddler DC waking up all the time. Being so knackered means we fall asleep as soon as we hit our pillows, instead of DTD!

Dondon33, thanx for your advice, it made me think. I've always had shortish cycles of 26 days, but have had loads of colds, a sinusitus and bronchitis last year and my cycles became shorter and shorter. In addition, I have endometriosis, which causes horrendous cramps. Gyno checked in november, because they feared a uterine fibroid, but that was all clear. My last really short cycle (about 2 weeks ago) was during the flu. So I think in my case it's health-related. I only take the recommended TTC-vitamins in combination with a high dose echinacea/vitamin C.

Dreamstoreality Mon 04-Mar-13 17:28:17

Sorry to all those who the witch has caught. Fingers crossed for you all for next cycle. very jealous that you are enjoying pâté and other forbidden luxuries

I'm still in limbo with no AF and BFN. Why was my cycle so predictable until this month when we started TTC again ??

honey86 Mon 04-Mar-13 17:30:30

aw ela fx af doesnt come then xx

aww loves congrats!! woop! 4 bfps already .. there must be something magical about march after all grinx

dondon33 Mon 04-Mar-13 17:49:30

Congrats!! loves brilliant news, another BFP - this is THE lucky bus I'm sure smile either that or it's nature's way doesn't everything start getting horny now in march Lets shag like rabbits smile

Ela f-tightly-X for you x

duchy Sounds like you've had it all checked out. I'm not positive about what I write next but the ladies in the know will help me out or point in the right direction...... Isn't there some way to lengthen your cycle with vit b something???? or is it just the Luteal phase????

Thank you Ladies! You all kept me sane when I thought I was going mad last month haha! I am feeling a bit over whelmed, it's hit home I will have 4 children by Nov hmm

Congrats to all the ladies with BFP's and keep shagging trying to those waiting grin

Bajas Mon 04-Mar-13 18:38:19

Congrats loves. The start of March has been v lucky so far.

Hope it stays lucky until the end as my bfp not due until 30th! The two apps on my phone are fiving totally different predictions for ovulation this month- a full week apart! Prob due to my ridiculously irregular cycles at the minute so am going to try and dtd every 2 days until then. Thankfully dh is on 2 weeks holidays so I won't wear him out..

ELA88 Mon 04-Mar-13 18:52:28

Thank you girlies! I'm trying not to get my hopes up just yet! Might just be my messed up cycle from the pill. Have a bit of a tummy ache now but might be me imagining symptoms! Xxx

Pops78 Mon 04-Mar-13 20:13:30

Was so convinced of many symptoms but horrible AF snuck up on me early today along with a cold. I keep crying from hormones it's really pathetic. Scoffing pâté, red wine and hoping there is a seat for me on April bus. GL to all still in the running I will be so delighted and encouraged to see more bfps x

theboob Mon 04-Mar-13 20:26:42

congrats loves !
well gp visit today as still no af , he wanted to prescibe me meds to make me bleed BUT if for some reason i am duffed up i will mc ....i refused so i'm back to the wait and see game , boobs started to hurt tonight so i will poas again wednesday

lovesthechaos Wow! Congratulations! I've been lurking at the back, waiting for 'shag week' which we are now in, and it's going ok - got lots of work on though so it's tricky trying to fit it in/find the energy. Hope those of you who are also there are enjoying yourselves smile

chocoloulou33 Mon 04-Mar-13 21:58:59

Congrats loves so happy you got your bfp this month x
Am feeling quite crappy 2day sad having one of those 'its never gonna be my turn' days, feeling sorry for myself. Only cd2 sad x

MotherOfCleo Mon 04-Mar-13 22:10:01

here for you choc keeping everything crossed for you.

JellyBeanDavey Mon 04-Mar-13 23:55:04

I'm hoping that this lengthy wait is just my body being slow and creating suspension for my BFP and not my cycles being crap and AF is well late!
Just ordered more IC. And bidding for a fertility monitor at the mo. Sod's law I win it and get a BFP... That would be nice and worth the bid!

deliasmithy Tue 05-Mar-13 00:27:14

Choc - I had a crazy long cycle in Sept that lasted 2 months. This last week my usual PMS symptoms disappeared and instead I have felt nausea, boob ache, excess saliva, but no, all just a load of nothing! AF pretended to come this weekend but now in full swing a day late. I think I'm out til April now sad

I'm trying not to be sad as I cried several times last month and OH felt bad.
I think I got through last year after finding other things to focus on. Now that trying is at the centre of things it's a big deal its not happening. I've decided I need something to look forward to as a distraction.

Dreamstoreality Tue 05-Mar-13 06:23:15

Omg omg omg.. Hadn't POAS since Sat as I was sick of BFN and was convinced the witch was on her way. Couldn't sleep last night as I felt so nauseous - had felt sick for a couple of days but put it down to nerves as I have a big presentation to give this morning..

Just POAS (asda cheapie) and I can see a faint line.. Can't decide whether it is a BFP or an evap line. One second I think the line is pink and then I think It is just wishful thinking. Will test again in the morning.

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 06:32:41

OMG just woke up and see the 5th bfp in 5 days. This is a lucky bus. Congrats to dream

Bajas Tue 05-Mar-13 06:36:02

A line is a line dreams. Congratulations grin

Dreamstoreality Tue 05-Mar-13 06:52:26

Thanks ladies. grin Have just woke DH up to check the test and yes there is def a line.

Don't know how I'll get through this presentation this morning as my mind will be dreaming of cute little baby booties.

MotherOfCleo Tue 05-Mar-13 06:58:32

congrats dreams a line is a line, mine was faint too but its got darker and darker, congrats again! Good luck for the presentation too grin

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 07:06:07

jellybean I think my misery is going to end very soon. Started spotting last night. It's just a little I can see on my pantyliners, but nothing when I wipe. I have got a CBFM for next circle. Lets hope it brings good luck for both of us.

choc you know it's not true. Chin up. It's only CD 3 for you!

delia you already know the answer to your problem. Find some distractions. We all know how much of a emotional rollercoaster ttc is. You can ofc rant/whine to us here.

ELA88 Tue 05-Mar-13 07:13:36

Aww congrats dream!! Hopefully ill get some of this march bus good luck! Xxx

theboob Tue 05-Mar-13 07:19:16

massive congratulations dreams grin
i last tested on sat too and bfn , day 53 i think on cycle so i will test tomorrow .
I don't know if i'm imagining things but my boobs are sore and i was also awake last night with nausea .....and a night time pee , i'm going crazy sad

ELA88 Tue 05-Mar-13 07:24:59

Ahh I spoke too soon! AF is on it's way :-( by this evening I shall be up too with you ladies clutching my wine and pâté! Maybe a Christmas baby was meant to be? Might as well add one more to the hundreds of December birthdays in my family!! Xxx

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 07:44:32

ela it does sound like your family has a Xmas baby tradition wine

Dreamstoreality Tue 05-Mar-13 07:50:08

Els It's not over until the witch catches you.

I would have put money on AF arriving as this doesn't feel like my last 2 pregnancies. Last time early symptoms were heightened sense of smell and having per every half hour and painful nipples (not breasts). The nausea didn't kick in until 6 weeks.

This time more like PMT. Mood swings, painful breasts and nausea that I put down to nerves. And feeling tired.

SpanishLady Tue 05-Mar-13 08:23:40

congrats Dream! FX still crossed for you ELA

deliasmithy Tue 05-Mar-13 08:56:18

Congrats to the new Bfp'ers!
I'm jumping off as Bfp due 4th April now! Good luck everyone x

lisbapalea Tue 05-Mar-13 09:20:52

Ah congratulations to all these new BFPs - great news!

I am supposed to be in shag week but DDs sleep has gone from bad to worse - just posted in Behaviour + Devlopment and hope someone comes to my aid!

DH and I are just too knackered and then if we did decide to get down to business, her frequent wake ups and accompanying screams would put us slightly off course I think!

I so want to give it my all this month but just feel scuppered before I even start.

honey86 Tue 05-Mar-13 09:37:20

yayyy dreams congrats smile xx

ela.. fx still for u x

theboob im shocked the doc tried to force bleeding on when he doesnt know 100% if ur preg or not... i find that a tad irresponsible blush

<sprinkles more baby dust for the passengers> xxx

TakingTheStairs Tue 05-Mar-13 09:50:00

Morning all. Anyone for a biscuit and a brew?

Delia sorry you're off the bus, massive fx for you for April.

Nope hasn't arrived and doesn't really feel like i I usually do before, I just had some pinky colour when I wiped this morn (sorry for tmi!!) and assumed she was on her way! We shall see! Xxx

QueenofClean Tue 05-Mar-13 11:11:59

padster75 Tue 05-Mar-13 11:48:01

Another BFP ............. brilliant stuff

CD28, af due today but so far no temp dip and no visit ......... to POAS or not POAS ............

ScienceGeekGirl Tue 05-Mar-13 12:00:26

Go for it padster and let us all know how it goes. I have 5 days before I plan to test so I shall just bug others to test so I don't blush.

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 12:04:30

padster as long as they are IC grin

ELA88 Tue 05-Mar-13 12:26:21

What's IC mean? Lol xxx

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 12:49:36

IC = internet cheapies

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 12:50:14

I got 20 for I think about £3. It's cheaper if you want even more.

Springbells Tue 05-Mar-13 13:21:02

padster75 Tue 05-Mar-13 13:37:09

Will endeavour to remember in the morning. Those that know me from previous buses know I am crap at remembering to POAS and also know that I from past experience I don't excrete HCG very well (something daft like 24 DPO before I even got a faint BFP with DS). Plenty of IC in bathroom cupboard though grin

honey86 Tue 05-Mar-13 13:48:26

smile good luck padster xxx

QueenofClean Tue 05-Mar-13 14:15:56

Good luck Pads grin

Aww congrats Dream!
Good luck pads!!! I'm not poas til Friday.

JellyBeanDavey Tue 05-Mar-13 14:32:27

One how's the spotting now? It's not over until Flo is in full swing!

OneLittleToddleTerror Tue 05-Mar-13 14:52:47

jelly still just light watery pink on the panty liner. It's not over until the witch comes. That's my motto too!

Malteaser1982 Tue 05-Mar-13 15:01:15

Heya Queenofclean, we're testing buddies! Any symptoms yet? Today I feel really bloated, as if something's going on in my tummy! It's not in my head honestly! grin Doesn't necessarily mean it'll lead to a BFP though!!! Googling pics of pregnancy tests doesn't help blush

dondon33 Tue 05-Mar-13 15:04:14

Dream Congrats !!! can't believe how many BFP's already in March, it's bloody brilliant ! smile x

Ela still have hope for you Fx x

Padster Good luck - when I have to remember about poas - I put the loo lid down and leave my pee pot on top before bed - usually I'm up first so I physically have to touch it to open the lid although I've been known to still forget

Dreamstoreality Tue 05-Mar-13 15:33:53

I must seriously have a POAS addiction. Just tested with an Internet cheapie just to make sure and the line is there - not as faint as this morning either. But that and the fact that I have already started vomiting means I am starting to actually believe it.

Sending baby dust out to everyone awaiting BFP!!

TakingTheStairs Tue 05-Mar-13 15:44:53

vomiting already dreams ? wow. poor you but yay for bfp (if that makes sense!)

ELA88 Tue 05-Mar-13 15:49:22

Awww congratulations! It's so exciting! Ahh I'm so tired at work it really has been one of those days! I'm tempted to go to asda and get a cheap test from there tonight... Or day I just wait and see if AF comes? I have no cramps whatsoever and usually ill be doubled over with a hot water bottle dosed up on pain killers! Xxx

Dreamstoreality Tue 05-Mar-13 15:58:23

Yes was sick this morning but not since - might just have been the whirlwind of emotions. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

TakingTheStairs Tue 05-Mar-13 16:03:49

One of my best friends, who has been trying for ages, has just told me she's pregnant. I'm delighted for her, I really am, she deserves it. But I still want to cry too. sad. Come on BFP, I'm waiting!!!!!!

TakingTheStairs Tue 05-Mar-13 16:04:10

Laugh dreams laugh smile

honey86 Tue 05-Mar-13 16:31:37

go for it ela!! if bfp great! if not, at least youll know what to expect x

dondon33 Tue 05-Mar-13 17:18:49

(__) <catches and stores some baby dust to use next week> Thanks!

Another that says do it Ela smile I think I'd have cracked by now, gl! gl! gl!

Ganetgob Tue 05-Mar-13 17:41:34

Hi guys!

Can I join too please? I was on a bus a couple of months ago but other stuff made us postpone for a month or 2.

Anyhoo... I am ttc #1, cycle 2, bfp due on 11th march.

Come on babies!!! :D

dondon33 Tue 05-Mar-13 18:40:45

Hi Ganet - you've arrived at the right time - lots of BFP's already smile Welcome and good luck x

QueenofClean Tue 05-Mar-13 18:58:27

Welcome Ganet.

Malteser - my boobs have been periodically hurting! Hoping it will lead to a BFP although to early to 'know' yet.

Bugger forgot to pick up some cheap tests in supermarket!

ELA88 Tue 05-Mar-13 19:01:20

I'm going to buy a test tomorrow and poas Thursday if it still hasn't shown. I don't think I'm pregnant though because I'm sure I would be feeling some symptoms?! Xxx

lyndsey90 Tue 05-Mar-13 22:09:43

CD40 I want my af to hurry. Meh!!!

MotherOfCleo Tue 05-Mar-13 23:06:24

ela im 5 weeks tomorrow and have no symptoms apart from massive boobs so dont rule yourself out.

dutchyoriginal Tue 05-Mar-13 23:28:50

I'm not completely up to scratch on all the jargon, so how does this "<month> bus" thing work, especially as this left in Feb? Do you start a new bus once the new month starts, or when the thread is full?

No AF, but that would be extreeemely early, still have until the 15th for AF to make her appearance.

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 06-Mar-13 04:35:25

dutchy the April bus is started when someone who has a bfp due in April decides to start a new thread. This usually happens when the witch caught up with enough people.

As 'left for feb', do you mean march? This means their AF has come and bfp isn't due again till next month. Or it could be me and jellybean. We arrived at the depot on the feb bus without either bfp or AF.

I woke up at 4 this morning. Feeling really tired. Waking up at night is a early pregnancy symptom isn't it?

padster75 Wed 06-Mar-13 07:12:14

Well ladies its a BFN here and no af, no temp dip and no symptoms ........ your guess is as good as mine!

theboob Wed 06-Mar-13 07:16:51

same from me BFN and no af , sore boobs etc .....feel a bit gutted really and dh and I had a conversation thinking that maybe its because we're both older now ? and nearly 4 years since we concieved .
Even af would be welcomed as i would not be in limbo then

Dreamstoreality Wed 06-Mar-13 07:46:36

Boob and Padster don't give up hope. My BFP was due on Thurs, tested Thurs, Fri and Sat with BFN. Had sore boobs and mood swings so was convinced AF was coming I even wore pads on Monday. Tested on Tues and got my BFP! Maybe I ovulated later this cycle ??

One I've been waking up in the night since Fri/Sat and was still testing negative then. I just thought it was anxiety about a presentation but presentation has been and gone and its still happening.

padster75 Wed 06-Mar-13 08:55:09

dreams thanks for that, feel somewhat reassured. Although when I got pg with DS I was over a week late before I got a really faint BFP, and that was 16 + years ago confused so guessing my body still is either crap at excreting HcG or af is on her way and temp hasn't got the memo wink

MotherOfCleo Wed 06-Mar-13 08:56:26

snap dreams I keep waking up at 5.30 confused it ia not the best start to the day.

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 06-Mar-13 09:02:28

motherofcleo the sleeplessness is to get you used to early motherhood grin. 5:30 is a good day for me and DD is a great sleeper. Unless she's ill, she sleeps through from about 6:30pm, without a stir.

Dreamstoreality Wed 06-Mar-13 10:05:17

I don't mind the lack of sleep its the killer headache I've had for a week that is driving me crazy.

Also yesterday I developed a blocked yet runny nose - not sure whether I've got a cold or if its some weird pg symptom.

Have also POAS again today using clear blue indicator which says 1-2 weeks. Will not test again until next week to check the progress except I know I will probably do so every day until my IC run out

MotherOfCleo Wed 06-Mar-13 10:36:40

one my dog insisted on playing fetch in the garden from 9-9.45 last night so peace from 6.30 in the evening would be bliss, guess its swings and roundabouts. Plus I didnt go to bed till midnight so 5 and a half hours sleep hurts lol wink

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 06-Mar-13 10:59:36

motherofcleo I'm afraid soon you might have both a late sleeper and an early riser on your hands grin

A pregnant collegue has a EDD in April. I was chatting to her the other day about newborns. She was in shock when I said bf might take 40-60min for some, and when we say feeding every 2-3 hours, we count from the start of the feed. I guess I did a good thing in mentally preparing her for it hmm

dreams it sounds like a cold you have. I haven't heard either blocked or runny nose as early pregnancy symptoms.

MotherOfCleo Wed 06-Mar-13 11:05:08

dreams I know a few ladies who had sniffles at the start of their pregnancy, its because your immune system lowers a bit so as to not reject the baby.

Yeah one Ive had friends struggle through bf with that issue, I will certainly have my hands full. As long as I can get both baby and dog to have afternoon naps I'll be fine as I'll join them and catch up on some zzzzs then. smile I am a good napper so as long as I get sleep at some point during the day I'll be fine.

MotherOfCleo Wed 06-Mar-13 11:07:05

was feeling sad today as my boss is in a crap mood, but then I got a huge bunch of flowers delivered to my work from my OH. grin He is so unorganised, cant believe he organised it before he went smile

SpanishLady Wed 06-Mar-13 12:53:36

mother - how lovely - what a thoughtful OH!

Springbells Wed 06-Mar-13 15:52:06

Ah Mother, how lovely!

2ww really is rubbish. Having mood swings last couple if days, and now in a general funk. Keeping busy to ignore it, but truly fed up (in general, not in particular with 2ww). Just having moan really, generally a pointless post......

QueenofClean Wed 06-Mar-13 16:11:45

Mother how lovely smile

Brought some ic tests yesterday so hopefully they will be here by the weekend so I can test like mad be prepared for when AF is due!

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 16:39:34

I'm sick of no AF. Been looking into it online yes I've been googling.
Got the doctors early tomo morning. I just want AF now never thought I'd say that.

Maybe if I can kick start my body to having a somewhat normal cycle, then maybe I might stand a chance!

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 06-Mar-13 16:44:32

jellybean have you always been irregular? It's definitely worth checking it out to see if there is an underlying issue. Fx your GP will take your concerns seriously and be able to help.

I'm in a different situation. I had a mc at 6/7 weeks last cycle so I am not at all expecting this to be normal. Previously I was very regular at 29 days. I'm giving it 2-3 cycles to stabilise before I get worried.

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 17:10:02

one I've been on the pill since about 16 and I'm now 24. I think I was regular before I started the pill and since been on microgynon, the depo jab in the bum haha, the patch, one beginning with M I think and then Yasmin. I have had one break in that time, wasn't very long.

OneLittleToddleTerror Wed 06-Mar-13 17:21:17

I see, how long have you come off the pill? It didn't say what cycle you are on the list. If it's been a few months, I'd expect it to have settled down. Irregular cycles usually is an indication of something not quite right.

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 18:20:02

I came off the pill end of September. On cycle 5. I hope nothing's wrong. I'm hoping I'm just long in a hormone

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 18:21:39

Long haha I ment low xxx

theboob Wed 06-Mar-13 18:59:38

i've also been googling , and have decided to have accupuntia (sp?)
I'm hoping this will help af and to get me back into my regular 28 day cycle ....cd56 now and going mad !

ELA88 Wed 06-Mar-13 19:49:23

sad AF has arrived...didn't even get as far as buying a test as it arrived this evening before I left work! Rubbish! Xxx

BeQuicksieorBeDead Wed 06-Mar-13 19:53:54

theboob I had a 56 day cycle and decided to go for acupuncture. Next cycle was 33 days, this one looks like it will be 28 as I ovulated on day 14! I would definitely recommend it, it seems to have sorted me out very quickly. I was at the brink of despair a couple of months ago.

theboob Wed 06-Mar-13 19:55:44

thanks quick ! i'll book in tomorrow for next week

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 20:51:55

quick what does it feel like? Do you need it regular?

dondon33 Wed 06-Mar-13 21:44:12

So sorry Ela sad af is a big bitch
Try to stay positive hun and focus on getting rid of her and concentrating on next month easier said than done i know
big hugs x

Hope the accu works for you theboob

JellyBeanDavey Wed 06-Mar-13 22:22:58

I think and hope I feel AF. Feeling THAT feeling in my tummy. I have never been so hopeful that it's AF.

honey86 Thu 07-Mar-13 00:56:08

arrr sad ela im sorry af got you this month.. thanks x

barebranches Thu 07-Mar-13 06:49:41

im due on tomorrow... already feel af symptoms... i know its not over till its over... sad so annoyed i was ill in shag week. feel like i lost a month.

padster75 Thu 07-Mar-13 07:06:36

2 days late here, was so desperate to pee this morning I forgot about the stick. Temp slightly down but still above the cover line, so hanging in there. Don't know if the slight rumblings are af gearing up to make an appearance.

Hopefully last day of workmen being in the house; have had new boiler system and fire put in. Had absolute meltdown yesterday, wasn't pretty, as I really can't handle workmen in the house (throw back to the delightful XH).

ELA88 Thu 07-Mar-13 08:01:30

Hmm really don't want to be at work today, didn't sleep at all last night, got a massive headache and then cried in the car to work! Poor dh kept saying sorry even though I was telling him it's not his fault so now I feel guilty too! Horrible day! Xxx

BabyFaker Thu 07-Mar-13 08:31:33

Morning all. In my first month of checking my temps and it just doesn't seem to be rising. Am on day cd16 so maybe soon?!

padster75 Thu 07-Mar-13 08:42:28

Baby yes I would expect a rise in the next few days, it really does depend on when you ov. You will notice it. Good luck

OneLittleToddleTerror Thu 07-Mar-13 08:58:05

It is quite obvious if you are using a bbt thermometer. I made the mistake for using a normal one with only 1 decimal place. Then I bought a bbt thermometer on eBay. Don't know why I didn't from the start. blush

TakingTheStairs Thu 07-Mar-13 10:54:58

Oh Ela I'm sorry that AF got you sad

I shall keep DTD! smile

Springbells Thu 07-Mar-13 15:46:16

Ha! Not symptom spotting (at least, not admitting it grin) lasted 4dpo! blush. Anyone else in their 2ww experiencing crazy mood swings and tearfulness? I'm far too far away from af to be pmt.

padster75 Thu 07-Mar-13 16:11:50

I wish I had some symptoms to spot, 16DPO and absolutely nothing to show for my efforts!!

Springbells Thu 07-Mar-13 16:35:22

Oh Padster, I was the same last month, but hopefully you will get that bfp, can't believe you forgot to poas! Hoping life calms down a bit once builders gone!

Sorry to all who AF got can't keep up and good luck to those still waiting for their BNPs.

I still don't actually feel pg - just have a stinking cold and a pounding headache.

MotherOfCleo Fri 08-Mar-13 16:19:55

dreams I dont feel preggo either, I just feel knackered and a bit sick confused

dondon33 Fri 08-Mar-13 19:25:07

Sorry to all who got AF sad best of luck for next month.

Hope all with little beans are well smile

Good luck to all during ov and 2ww

I'm CD9 , my cheapy ov tests arrived today thank god last month I had to pay around £7 for just 5!!!! I start testing again tomorrow.....and so it begins again hmm confused grin
<Gets ready to bathe self in the baby dust I have collected>

JellyBeanDavey Fri 08-Mar-13 20:13:59

So I come away from the blood test with a puncture, bruise and an allergic reaction to the plaster.

Today I have felt so sick, weird and queasy. Bleugh

lisbapalea Fri 08-Mar-13 20:43:29

Think it's fairly certain I am out this month as haven't managed to DTD once this week due to DD's night time issues! She's now poorly so I expect she'll be heading to our bed tonight again!

Will still keep my fingers crossed that I might ov late, so I might have a chance this weekend, otherwise I will be hopping on to the April bus. Boo!

Also boo to those who've succumbed to AF over the last few days...

Wardy17 Sat 09-Mar-13 01:10:48

Hi, can I join the march bus? Finally fallen off the feb bus after AF arrived 19 days late!

TTC #1 cycle 3 AF due 31st march.

Bajas Sat 09-Mar-13 08:15:54

wardy sorry to see you here but I'm sure you were eventually glad to get Af after that wait and get started again. I know I was after my 40 day cycle. I'm cd 15 but with long cycles at the minute I reckon my bfp is due around the same time as yours

QueenofClean Sat 09-Mar-13 08:27:16

Jellybean hope you feel better soon.

Wardy so sorry to see you on March bus. I do wonder what held AF up! Fx March is lucky for you.

I'm CD18 (not sure of exact day of ov although think it was CD10 or something) of a normally 28 day cycle and woke up feeling very nauseous. Is that a good thing or just tiredness?!

Wardy17 Sat 09-Mar-13 12:36:33

bajas thank you, very pleased to be able to move on to the next month.

queen me too! I've got blood tests on Tuesday to check thyroid and PCOS. FX!!!

Hope your all well? I'm on cd11 because of strange cycle before I have no idea when I'm going to ov just going to make sure I dtd every day or at least every other day.

QueenofClean Sat 09-Mar-13 13:05:09

Wardy hopefully your BT will show something x

gilly86 Sat 09-Mar-13 13:11:53

Update!

I started temping and charting this cycle. Today is CD15 and I've noticed a big dip in bbt which I've heard can happen right before ov before it shoots up?

Dtd on CD8, CD9, CD13 and CD14 so far. Also intend on dtd tonight and tomorrow! And hopefully every other day/as much as we can (lol) after that.

Been using OPKs and not had a positive yet this cycle but I THINK the line has got a little darker over the last few days which would make sense considering the dip in bbt and where I am in my cycle.

Really hoping this is my month!smile

Good luck everyone! X

BabyFaker Sat 09-Mar-13 15:40:26

Hey Wardy- nice to see you on the bus! (I'm a name changer from the Feb bus smile)

I wanted to ask you guys about ovulation pain - do you know if you get it before, during or after you ov?

I'm on cd 18 now, BFP due 18th

lyndsey90 Sat 09-Mar-13 15:44:25

Yay think I've finally got AF on CD 44 LOL. Think I might as well jump on the next bus! smile

Wardy17 Sat 09-Mar-13 16:24:49

Hey babyfaker, what was your name on the last bus?

BabyFaker Sat 09-Mar-13 16:50:11

Book smile

dondon33 Sat 09-Mar-13 17:09:07

Glad it's starting to make sense Gilly all sounds positive - esp the dtd parts, fx for you x

At last Lyndsey good luck when af fecks off is over x

Hi Wardy gl to you too.

I'm cd10 and my first opk this month is neg - which I expected anyway as I usually ov cd13/14 but you can't be TOO careful can you - so back at it tomorrow, might also dtd tonight/tomorrow as we're now NOT following Dr bloody Shettles smile smile
yup! dp is in full agreement now to 'get what we're bloody well given' smile after his disappointment when af arrived.

Wardy17 Sat 09-Mar-13 17:35:45

Hey book smile

LadyMedea Sat 09-Mar-13 19:39:21

Bit freaked out to be on the bus. Got medication all clear from doctor yesterday and dtd to jump on the bus today..... Aargh! Can't believe we're really gonna do this!

TTC #1, cycle 1, BFP due 25 March

dondon33 Sat 09-Mar-13 19:45:24

Good luck and welcome Lady x

QueenofClean Sun 10-Mar-13 09:35:51

AF is just over a week away & I feel nauseous & tired done a test this morning BFN but I knew it would be too early. Hmmm not sure what to think! Trying not to over think things.

theboob Sun 10-Mar-13 11:44:16

Hi all
After much thought dh and I have decided to stop ttc .I have the chance of a really really good job once i qualify in september and the competion is high for it so we are going to wait a year or maybe never at all .If i am pregnant now by chance that's fine too but from this moment we are stopping , i wish you all the very very best in you're journey and i will lurk from now on xxx

gilly86 Sun 10-Mar-13 11:51:59

STOP THE PRESS!

Did an OPK this morning and its positive! I THINK!

Compared to the last weeks worth, the line is considerably darker and pretty much as dark as the control line. Going to test again later this afternoon which is when it's best to test anyway!

This would make sense as my bbt dipped considerably yesterday leading me to believe O is on the way!

So will defo dtd tonight haha.

poor DH's willy might fall off soon!

gilly86 Sun 10-Mar-13 11:53:12

Hi theboob... That's good news and bad news! Good luck with the new job it sounds great.. Shame in a way you aren't TTC anymore but you have to do what's right for you smile x

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 10-Mar-13 13:22:27

theboob good luck in landing an ace job in September. Competition is high in most every field, but believe in yourself, and all the best.

After many many bfns, I finally got a bfp today!!!! Im on CD 55 so chances are I ovulated way after CD14. I wonder what they will do when you turn up for your 12 week scan with a foetus that's too small? I guess I will let them worry about that.

gilly86 Sun 10-Mar-13 13:25:48

Wow congratulations!!! Amazing news!!!!!!!!!!! smilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmile

Rubbish!

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 10-Mar-13 17:40:05

honey I hope everything is fine with you. Spotting and cramping can both be normal. It's only when the bleeding is period like you need to worry. You could try poas if you want to see if you still have hcg. That's what they did first in a&e when I had a mc last month. Have you got a number for your midwife? If you are still spotting tomorrow maybe you can ring them for a chat?

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 10-Mar-13 17:41:12

Oh you have gone to the hospital. Fx they have good news for you honey

TakingTheStairs Sun 10-Mar-13 17:51:14

gilly86 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:07:50

Penny31 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:09:54

Hi all can I join please? <waves>

33, TTC #1 cycle 1 BFP due 16th of March

I joined the over 30's thread but I've realised that many of them have been trying for ages and maybe that's not the place for me just yet...

Been lurking for a while and getting to know you smile.

Congrats one and keeping everything crossed honey

dondon33 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:16:38

Sorry Ganet that is cruel sad AF is a mega bitch
Try to stay positive, get the witch out of the way and start again x

honey still thinking about you hun, hope all's well. x

Cd11 and I'm showing a faint line on my opk - so probably going to be like last month and I'll go ++ cd13/cd14....DP's not too perky today, I think he's getting a cold but unlucky for him I don't care he can spare me 10 mins of energy and swimmers tonight grin We need those 'early birds' in there waiting.

dondon33 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:20:13

Hi Penny <waves back at ya>
welcome aboard and good luck to you - Ooh the 16th's not far away smile fx

gilly86 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:52:00

<waves to penny> hello! X

Penny31 Sun 10-Mar-13 19:52:59

I know it's not far at all! I've already caved and tested but its too early, isn't it? Im sure the novelty will wear off! I had symptoms far too early (obviously in my head) and now they've gone of course! I've had strange cm appearances that I didn't think was normal, but of course perhaps I've just not paid enough attention before. I've also developed more of a pot belly but I think that's just me being a bit chubby and bloated but reluctant to admit it! smile

LondonSuperTrooper Sun 10-Mar-13 20:47:15

Hi Penny, I also tested today and AF is due the same day as yours.

Due to the BFN I'm kidding myself that I could be pregnant (and it will be a flipping miracle if I am) and that I tested far too early!

Penny31 Sun 10-Mar-13 21:05:20

london I'm pleased I'm not the only one! I was so sure I was pg but as it gets closer to Af I'm starting to think I was being ridiculous! I guess anything is possible and we must be patient. I wish I didn't keep reading about people who don't get a positive until days after their missed AF. I will have driven myself crazy by then! Totally abnormal cm behaviour this month is making me think perhaps I've done it all wrong this time sad

Is there anyone on their 2ww with very promising symptoms?

LondonSuperTrooper Sun 10-Mar-13 21:15:53

But isn't the problem that pre-AF symptoms are very similar to early pregnancy symptoms?

Penny31 Sun 10-Mar-13 21:22:31

Yes that's true I suppose. Frustrating!

LondonSuperTrooper Sun 10-Mar-13 21:27:59

LOL, I feel your pain!

dondon33 Sun 10-Mar-13 21:42:50

Hehe Done!! he spared me some energy 5 mins smile jobs a good un!

OneLittleToddleTerror Sun 10-Mar-13 22:20:02

Thanks everyone. I'm trying not to get all excited until I hear a heartbeat or see a scan. I heard once there is a heartbeat, it is more likely to stick. I can't remember if they do the heartbeat thing at booking in. Otherwise I will hav to wait for the 12 week scan.

Toddle sorry if I'm mixing you up with someone else, but did you have an early m/c like me not too long ago?

At the EPU the nurse told me to book in with the midwife ASAP when I got a BFP, and they would do me an early scan to put my mind at rest, she said if I got a midwife who was being funny about it I could call them directly.

Congratulations by the way! smile

Springbells Sun 10-Mar-13 22:36:10

Hmm. Trying very hard not to get hopes up in 2ww, and really hoping not to have them dashed tomorrow morning...

normally have 33 day cycles, ovulated last Monday (temp and opk confirmed, plus cramping) so 7dpo (cd26). Feeling slightly sick today (could be imagining that!) and yesterday, bbt dip today, strong cramps tonight and now light blood. Too soon for a standard af, so trying very hard not to think this may be implantation bleed and get hopes up, just for them to be dashed tomorrow when af appears in full force!

Cycles a bit weird since coming off the pill so anything could happen...

(Btw - well done dondon grin ! )

honey86 Sun 10-Mar-13 22:36:52

hiya sorry myphone died... hmm

at the gynae ward, being kept in overnight.. they took my bloods etc examined me internally and externally, and said they are concerned that it could be ectopic sad on painkillers and will be having a scan in the morning ( no sonographers in today). bleedings tailed off atm touch wood it buggers off... still cramping alot but tryna stay positive. thanks ladies thanks

lucieloos Sun 10-Mar-13 22:49:08

Hi there can I join you too please smile

33, TTC #1, cycle 1, bfp due 28th March

Pixie001 Sun 10-Mar-13 23:30:45

honey sorry to hear you're staying in but hope they get to the bottom of it. can't believe they don't have staff in to give you a scan, how frustrating. Hope you manage to get some sleep and get whatever care you need, you're in best place, here to hold your hand.xxx flowers

dondon33 Mon 11-Mar-13 05:28:55

Thanks spring smile

honey hope you feel better soon and there's not anything wrong. x

OneLittleToddleTerror Mon 11-Mar-13 06:06:37

honey praying for you here.

claire I had a mc at 6 weeks last cycle. I will ring the surgery today. I will ask the midwife if I can get an early scan. Thanks for the tip. I'm in a pregnancy hotspots so service is quite stretched locally.

RubixCube Mon 11-Mar-13 06:08:34

I've messed my pill up by accident around 13 days ago Had intercourse 11days ago and I'm now on my pill free week.Anyone know if i'd still have a withdrawl bleed?I've been worrying telling my dh as he doesn't want anymore kids so blurted it out last night.

gilly86 Mon 11-Mar-13 07:45:32

honey fingers crossed for you xxxxxxxx

RubixCube Mon 11-Mar-13 09:30:23

I hope you ladies all get your BFP soon.With my first it took 11months.It felt like forever

BabyFaker Mon 11-Mar-13 09:58:41

Fx for you Honey. X

I'm on cd20 and have a dull period-pain type ache today. Don't know what that's about...

Penny31 Mon 11-Mar-13 12:13:00

Feeling ever so slightly nauseous and lightheaded....it's cos i haven't eaten isn't it? <runs off for lunch, scolding myself for even trying to convince myself it's a symptom!>

LondonSuperTrooper Mon 11-Mar-13 12:17:33

Snap Penny! I'm feeling like that too but its because I have skipped breakfast & lunch....... I'm going to eat now though.

Springbells Mon 11-Mar-13 12:38:41

Right, I'm out. Af been particularly rude this month and shown up 7dpo. So off to buy some vitamin b6 to see if that helps, and sulk quietly on the April bus. Good luck everyone, really hope there's a few more bfps on their way x

Penny31 Mon 11-Mar-13 13:35:04

Sorry to hear that springs. Might see you soon on the April bus, af due at the weekend.

Still feel sick but that's due to eating far to much! Which by the way is not a symptom, I always eat too much smile

Well that's my week of DTD over with, officially in the two week wait now. Have got back onto the low carb diet wagon today, hopefully it will distract me from symptom spotting! grin

dondon33 Mon 11-Mar-13 15:47:54

Ooer!! what's my eggs playin at?? cd12 and I'm opk + today, a little earlier than last month but who know's what's right/normal as I only started monitoring last month.
Finished work early today, get home ready to attack dp and he's practically dying in bed sad Said with pathetic voice 'don't worry babes I'll manage' smile He's a trooper!

Bajas Mon 11-Mar-13 18:12:09

Well Af just arrived on cd17- round the time my app said I should be fertile. Last few were 33 days 40 days and 35 days so no idea what bus I should even be on at this stage. Getting v frustrating and upsetting now. It's just not fun any more sad

gilly86 Mon 11-Mar-13 18:31:15

Ok peeps I need some help/advice!
I have posted a new thread about this but i need you guys! smile

Was worried I wasnt OV and doing OPKs for the last week....

Over the weekend the line on the OPK looked a bit darker than it had been previously but still wouldnt necessarily say it was positive!

Today I have tested again this afternoon and got a CLEAR OBVIOUS POSITIVE!

Hooray! Also got EWCM today AND noticed a big dip in bbt over the weekend so.... I guess Im OV now.

My question is, is this very late in my cycle to OV? Today is CD17.

I came off the pill in december and have had 31,30 and 29 day cycles since then (in that order) so I was EXPECTING this cycle to be 28/29 days!

We DTD CD 13,14,15 and 16 so every day for the last 4 days up until today... and intend to dtd tonight and maybe tomorrow (depends on whether DHs willy hasnt fallen off yet!)

I just feel its so late in my cycle to be OV... Am I still in with a chance? maybe this months cycle is a bit longer!?

I dunno confused

BabyFaker Mon 11-Mar-13 18:44:47

Is it late in your cycle? Well it's later than the 'average' but too late for what?

The good news is you know when you ov so you need to DTD again!

gilly86 Mon 11-Mar-13 18:54:19

too late for... I dont know! Conception!? Lol... I have no idea what I'm talking about half the time!
I just see posts from people saying anything after day 15 is not good and probably have a short luteal phase which can be a reason why some women MC?
sad

Anyway... totally dtd again tonight and tomorrow!

BabyFaker Mon 11-Mar-13 19:24:58

Short luteal thing can be a factor but I think that's less that ten days.

BabyFaker Mon 11-Mar-13 19:28:00

Ok twelve here. So even with your shortest cycle it would be 12 days for you

natural-fertility-info.com/luteal-phase-defect.html

I'm wondering if I have ov'd late this month. First month temping and figures all over the place but jump on day 17, too and ov pain day before. My cycle is 26-28 days so maybe I have that defect thing.

Penny31 Mon 11-Mar-13 20:01:03

Just seen myself in the mirror and my tummy is sticking out, how cruel! It's either bloating due to imminent af or I've stuffed my face like I'm eating for two already!

Last week I was exhausted and had tingly boobs and was ever hopeful. Now the tingly boobs have gone and I'm full of energy! (Was going to say full of beans but its not looking likely! Lol)

Were the tingly boobs, which I've never had before, a sign of ovulation? Anyone else had this?

BabyFaker Mon 11-Mar-13 20:06:18

Yep I get the boobs thing with ovulation

Penny31 Mon 11-Mar-13 20:08:07

Hmm I'd never noticed it before! I obviously don't know my body as well as I thought I did. Now I know and will take the tingly boobs as an alarm clock to get DTD!

honey86 Mon 11-Mar-13 20:25:44

hi ladies thanks for the fx.. seemed to have done the trick so far...
had my scan this morning and they found baby where it should be in my womb, with its tiny heart beating away smile its measuring 3 days shorter than expected which isnt too bad, theres a little blood beneath the baby which they said could be loosened blood from implantation... pain seems to be coming from my right ovary, where the corpus luteum (burst egg follicle from ov) is..
hcG hormone level is over 15,000 which is a good sign..
feeling abit groggy n achey but more reassured... x

Penny31 Mon 11-Mar-13 20:30:56

Hi honey that's wonderful news! Take it easy!

Bajas Mon 11-Mar-13 20:40:40

honey delighted to hear that. Take care of yourself now :-)
