Wow you do talk alot! I posted early on and have been quietly lurking since. Unfortunately AF turned up at 8dpo so am ringing the bell and getting off at this stop....was a bit sad this morning as I was soooo convinced I was pregnant but I feel next month will be the one (and I have just spent £80 on opk's, supplements and booked a reflexology session for next week)
Congratulations for all those to got their BFP and for all those to come too Smile hope I don't see many of you on the next bus!

broodysnoopstie · 05/02/2014 17:07

Thanks ladies hope I don't see you on the march bus Smile

English it does sound like that was a weird af. Hopefully this will be the right time for you and cycle 5 will be the sticky bfp! The 21st is a good day I think (it's my birthday so I am biased!).

I think you might be onto something with that busines venture idea missmrs! I can just see that one when I tell DH, "you're giving up teaching to invent a dancing, balloon waving stick that you pee on, and a blue flap that is raised from your belly button?" He would love that plan Wink !

So I've decided that my stupid spotting was in fact a fucked up AF! Had ewcm the last few days including today so going to DTD the next 3 days in hope that one of his swimmers catches that egg!
Also that means I'm now of cycle 5 and not due AF til 21st ish!

Barmy love your idea on a belly button flag! If only!!!

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 16:16

Love your thinking, barmy - there's a new business venture for you! Xx

You should be covered if the opk has missed it with Sunday, fingers crossed, and if you ov in the next few days hopefully timing will work for you.

It's an absolute nuisance not knowing for definite. I honestly wish your belly button raised a little egg shaped flag prior to ov (obviously invisible to others Smile) so we knew exactly what was going on! Similarly, I was thinking the other day that it would be a lot more helpful if preg tests changed colour depending on bfp or af coming. So if af was going to come, you got a red line, and if it was a bfp, it was a line that blew trumpets and danced with balloons! I seriously hope someone invents this by the time we are ttc #2... As you can tell, I have spent far too much time thinking about this!

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 15:45

Thx barmy, well hopefully ov will happen in next couple of days. If it's happened and opk missed it, hopefully I'm covered as we DTD on Sun.

Starting to give up hope relax a bit more about our approach.

missmrs I usually get watery cm for a few days before ov, ewcm appears after about 3 days of watery and then I seem to ov a day or so after that. I think some people get it after ov though as well?

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 14:56

snow I DTD on Sun too and will do tonight. Might as well try! Only takes one lucky episode, right! I've lost interest a bit if I'm honest, and we had a 'failed' attempt on Mon. Too much pressure on us. See what your reflexologist says. Bet they will be able to tell if you're stressed and the treatment will help, no doubt.

Sorry broody. AF is such a b1tch, spoiling everyone's fun!

Grey fx your house goes through ok. Very stressful, esp with a toddler (I can only imagine).

Juliettes love your enthusiasm! Good that you are still on this bus Smile Spread that motivation!

Juliettesmommy · 05/02/2014 13:37

Hello everyone it's been a while since I posted. Unfortunately I got my AF right on schedule and was feeling a but down about it for a few days but ready to take on another cycle now. But - since I was a bt over eager in joining the bus I am actually still on it, so new stats are: ttc #2 cycle 2 bfp due 28 feb.

Greywacke · 05/02/2014 13:34

Wow this thread is moving so fast!

Broody sorry to hear you have been kicked off the bus. Good luck for next month.

We are doing the while house buying and selling thing at the moment although will hopefully be exchanging in the next few days...I am trying to stay calm and relaxed but it isn't really working... That and a toddler who is trying to drop his nap mean stress levels are a bit higher than I'd like!

I am coming up to the start of the 2ww...going to try this month not to test until AF is due...was so frustrated by how much I spent last month on tests for AF to then arrive.
... although in reality I will probably test beforehand!

broodysnoopstie · 05/02/2014 13:06

I'm out. AF just arrived. March Bus and cycle 7 here I come Sad

SnowBells · 05/02/2014 12:59

missmrsmummy

I am normally cope well with stress (much better than DH). Maybe I'm too used to stress to notice???

This TTC malarkey is driving me mad. Last time we dtd was very late Sunday. DH was too tired yesterday. Would tonight still be OK?

Having reflexology tomorrow though.

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 12:07

Hi snow I'm a little lost too... Where is my egg? Sad

Could your pain be ov? Have you been stressed lately? I think that's why I haven't ov'd yet.

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 12:01

Oh thanks barmy, hopefully I will just ov late rather than not at all.

I have watery cm (tmi sorry) - when does that usually occur?

SnowBells · 05/02/2014 11:59

Day 21 and still no three bars / egg on CBFM. Have very irregular cycles though. Last one was 49 days. The one before that around 20-something.

However, I do feel a little pain down there today.

Am I being paranoid? Or is it actually bladder stones?!? [Confused]

Congratulations on the new bfps!

missmrs it's quite possible that ov has been delayed by stress if you don't think you have already oved. I have been oving around cd20 for the last few cycles which I have put down to stress as I do think it delays things. Hopefully you'll get a positive opk in the next few days.

Hi all, I've skipped of the march bus, back to say hello.

Good luck pebble!

What's the smep plant ladies? Cheers

Sleepingstarsmommy · 05/02/2014 11:16

Congrats on the BFPs so far.

I'm still sitting quietly at the back of the bus feeling very sorry for myself and eating way too much chocolate

On the 3rd day of flashing smiley on my opks but trying to be a bit more relaxed about things this month. Last month I had 8 days of flashing smiley before fixed smiley and was dtd every day. Just can't face it this month much to DH relief and sticking to the smep plan. Only on cd13 and didn't ov until cd18 last month so not even near the 2ww but already getting impatient.

Stats are

Sleepingstarsmommy ttc1 cycle 3 BFP due Feb 21st

pebble82 · 05/02/2014 11:15

I did another ic this morning (number6 now!!) and still got a faint line. Counting down the minutes until my lunch hour when I can go and get a cbdigi. I'll be gutted if these lines turn out to be duds. Hating ICs right now!

If I am pg then just want to share that I don't feel it at all. Same symptoms as AF - to the point where I'm still half expecting it.

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 10:23

spinning it seems a few people don't feel pg or have any symptoms then get a bfp... it could be you! Most of the time our 'symptoms' are imagined anyway! Wink

Fx for you poas tomo!

spinningirl10 · 05/02/2014 10:07

Wow this is moving too fast for me!!

English it dose sound like it could be a new cycle, fx it is Grin

Mrsmummy....congrats on the Gaga tickets! I bet she'll be amazing!!

I might poas tomorrow! Waiting for some ic to arrive. I don't feel pregnant though so not expecting anything.

Mama.....hope af has arrived properly for you now!

SnowBells · 05/02/2014 10:03

Tp all Reflexology fans: how often do you have a treatment?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 05/02/2014 09:56

I don't think you can definitely say but it looks to me like it was AF, it all fits...

EnglishGirlAbroad · 05/02/2014 09:46

I need your advice ladies.....

So i'm now on cd37. Yesterday i got a dark opk, today its def as dark as the test line. I had 3 days of brown spotting cd24-26. My question is - could this have been been my first af after the mc?? In which case i'd now be on cd14 of a new cycle. I've had some increased cm, and a little bit of ewcm over the last few days. Need to get some tith sorted for tonight!!
