New bus boarding for April 2012

Hi myCat welcome aboard!

I've not ever tries ov sticks but I have to say I'm starting to get tempted. I get a lot of EWCM and have always assumed that it's a good enough indicator but I'm starting to loose faith in my sticky stuff... maybe my timing is all out?

Have very dull achey back tonight and am knicker checking like a mad-woman. Feel very, very pathetic. Trying to hide my patheticness from hubby! I'm glad I can be open about it at least on here.

Don't forget the upside down bicycling twob

Hi Laura [waves] - lol at covering all your bases!

Thanks MyCat and minipie - since I've got a strong line today I best get cracking DTD with DH

Have fun and good luck to those SWIing tonight!

evening ladies how are you all doing? I was supposed to go to karate tonight but after an awful day at work i thought i would just crack open some and chill with you lovely ladies. also my old laptop 'died' a month ago and my lovely DH went and got me a new one :) this afternoon i have been feeling 'weird' just feel very heavy in my lower tummy and shattered hopefully this is a sign that something is happening either pregnant or AF just need something to happen so i dont go out of my mind lol will get some SWI in tonight just in case its ovulation lol need to cover all bases xx

oops just say MyCat already answered the question! Luckily we agree

twobecomethree my cheapy OV sticks don't tell you that, but I read on a Clearblue ov test box that ovulation usually happens "within 24 to 36 hours" after a positive result. At least I think that's what it said! Basically it means you're about to ovulate.

I am taking full advantage of the wine and coffee before I'm into my fertile window!

Sorry all - got so excited about hopping aboard that I forgot to update the stats

Thanks twob - what a great idea, I'm going to crack open the real life wine too tonight - there has to be some consolation to AF visiting

To answer your opk question - it means you will ovulate on the next 24-36 hrs. I used ov sticks successfully when ttc ds but have found them a right faff last month (just couldn't seem to guage whether the line was as dark or darker than the control) so have blown the budget and bought digital clearblue ones on offer on Amazon as you can pee steaight on them and they give you a smiley face if you are about to ov!

Hi MyCat welcome aboard - hope it won't be too long a trip for you!
chink!

Thanks for the info on the ov sticks minipie - I've been using them as the only guide for the last few cycles but also startign FF this month. When you get the line on the ov sticks does that mean you are ovulating, just about to or have ovulated do you know?
Good luck to you this month!

Hi all, just got booted off the March bus so can I board this one?

AF has literally just turned up so it'll be a long trip but I thought rather than hanging round the terminus drinking White Lightning and causing trouble I'd get my seat nice and warm and cheer on the rest of you.

Thanks Colleen, you too! I was using them for the same reason - my cycle's pretty odd at the moment due to coming off the pill a few months ago. They provide a bit of reassurance if nothing else!

Sounds like a plan minipie I am mainly using them to figure out how my ov cycle is going. Wish you the best this next month.

Colleen yes I think I will do - bit too early yet as AF only started last Thurs, but will do next week. But I won't be timing SWI quite so slavishly according to the ov sticks just in case they are wrong!

Hey minipie sorry the results weren't a BFP, are you still using the tests?

Hey martha my cycle has been anywhere from 28 to 48 days. Have a ov bloodtest on the 25th (and other tests) but hoping to track the next two monthes with the cheap ov tests. That and the faithful every other day bedantics which my DH has been so supportive in joining me :p TBH I know it sounds naive but it's been great in lifting our spirits and instead of feeling stressed I just feel a bit more perky.

hola, me again. my old stats appeared in an updated list so have adjusted. I'll be otherwise

Hiya all
spout bummer. That must have been a very, very hard decision to make deciding whether or not to SWi this month. Fresh month, fresh start - you going to try anything different this month (apart from the obvious.....)
Laura welcome to this bus - I was wondering if that other bus was going tandem or what! Hopefully this is your month, or at least that AF turns up soon so you know where you stand.
colleen where abouts in your cycle are you now? Any other signs of ov?
not in my kitchen No real symptoms for me yet - I'm now 9DPO aprox.

Actually, I kind of have the feeling that AF is going to arrive. I have that heavy, achy feeling really low down. I'm extremely bloated and feel disgusting in general. If I could I would curl up with some dodgy tv and eat nutella straight out of the jar....I think AF is def on the way.
Actually I hope it holds of a little bit because a 9 day luteal phase would be a bit too short for me.

Should I test tomorrow?
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!.....should I?
smack me someone....

Running for the bus! Can I jump on please? AF arrived last Thursday and kicked me off the March bus, so I'm a little bit late to this one.

Ovulation should be some time next week (annoyingly doesn't fit with our mini holiday at the end of this week)

Colleen and twobecomethree I got the cheapy Amazon OV tests last month and they worked for me. I got a very faint line which means negative, then (finally!) a couple of days with a strong line. That said... I didn't get pg last month despite lots of SWI after I got the positive OV result, so maybe they are wrong!!

Good morning, I'm now 5 days into the 2ww. Not a single symptom to report so far. Still no signs that I'm not pregnant either so still hoping. How is everyone else doing with the symptom spotting? Anyone testing yet? I wonder who will get the first BFP?

Morning all. Just started my ov tests off of amazon. So far so good and only took two days on free delivery. Have 60 tests so going to try them daily til AF or hopefully no AF :)

Hiya everyone hope you dont mind me updating the list with my stats. I joined another April bus but think everyone is gathering on this one now. I'm 27 ttc#2 have a DD who is 2 came off pill in march and nto had a period yet so no idea when AF is due. I also had a subtotal thyroidectomy back in november but not on any medication so hoping this will not be a problem with ttc. i have been taking cheapie tests regularly as i dont know when af is due. Hopefully this is the month for all us lovely ladies :)

Laura xx

Hello chaps. Period arrived, not entirely unexpectedly. I had a chance of a great job come up mid-cycle so DH and I decided to hold off trying for a few days until I knew whether I'd got it. I didn't and missed all my prime fertile shagging opportunities. Bah.

So I've parked my arse on the back seat of this bus as my next cycle could still be Destination April...

Welcome Luce and best of luck this month!

Hi Luce I'm glad that you have sorted out what the problem could be - it must be very hard no knowing. I really hope that these new drugs do the trick for you and that this is your bus!
