Green sheets, Pomegranates and Fire Breathing Penis Dragons...wave your green pom poms in the air and jump on the Mad March bus"

Please don't talk about exercise.

I know. Wouldn't it be rubbish?

Indeed Retro, just think of how limited life would be - no exercise or concerts! Tut

Well in that case missmrs, it would be a real shame if you can't go

Yer I am genniebugs. got someone to cover my shift at work tonight coz didn't know if/when I'd get to go home. And not back at work till Thurs. now I'm in bed as hardly slept last night and dh is making me pancakes

Omg genni cream eggs and Kettle chips?! I'm moving into your house!

Retro yep it's seated but very high up and definitely not suitable for pg women!

mwhahahaha Retro my DH said the same last cycle before football practice. I gave him my best look.
Ha

Speaking of inconveniences, we've got a friend's wedding in December overseas. DH booked the hotel last night - and I thought ooh might be PG by then so wouldnt be able to fly. He did get the free cancellation option though but still...would be most inconvenient....plus the hen do in November...

Kurama I hope it is as the others say. Hope you are resting.

On a separate note I am going for a run tonight once I get home. I can no longer justify the stone Ive put on as being down to TTC. I need to get back on track (and ignore the creme eggs in the fridge and the kettle chips in the cupboard).

English girl. no I don't think this is a common side effect. I'm pretty sure the pain on Fri was ovulation so I'm still hoping I could be pregnant. This is the second cyst to burst and I don't want it to happen for a 3rd time! fc for a bfp!

missmrs, so jealous of the GaGa tickets! Sod it, go anyway. Is it seated?

And if not this month, it would cause a lot of hassle to have a Christmas baby !

DH is refusing to DTD because he plays sport on a Tuesday and apparently 'no professional sportsperson does it before playing'.

I didn't like to point out that he's hardly professional! Though I am now looking up timings for DTD and positive OPKs and worrying that we'll miss it if we wait till later tonight. But we did DTD on Saturday, so hoping there's still some hardy swimmers in there as a back up.

Positive Mental Attitude - this is our month!

Like your thinking re: the party Retro! I have tickets for Lady Gaga in Oct and it would be most inappropriate for a 7-month pg lady to attend! Hoping I will have to sell my tickets

And this bus is the most fun bus of them all

Hi all.
fx everything is ok kurama.

Ive worked out that I might not even be due my af/bfp on this bus but im not going anywhere just in case. Mostly because there are so many bfps I want to stay in this lucky bus

No preseed or similar ( though autocorrect wants to change it to 'preserve'. Might that work?). I did look in Sainsburys but they obviously don't cater to ttc obsessives!

I'm going to keep swigging water and Benylin, steer clear if for a few days and rely on the fact that there's a big party coming up at which it would be very inconvenient and obvious if I were in the early stages of pg. Should garuntee I'm upduffed!

I'm so chuffed I'm having a 'normal' cycle I keep singing 'I'm so excited' to myself crazy lady

I second what RetroHipy said, kurama-the pain might mean an egg was being realeased so let's hope the swimmers caught it! Hope you're not in too much pain now

Interesting reading about the exercise worries. I'm sure that it doesn't make a difference but i think it is the fact that it could be something to 'blame' if something goes wrong and that's why some might suggest to reduce it during TWW and beyond.

I went to Pilates (going twice a week for 6 years, so not new) last Tuesday and the next morning got my bleed. Of course, in my irrational state, I blamed it on Pilates until I did some more research and realise it would not have made any difference. But it's hard to not think about it!

I remember my Reflexologist saying they recommend sessions before ovulation but that is only in case they get blamed if something happens during implantation. therefore, I'm going to continue with exercise as normal, Posy-even during the TWW and beyond!

Hi Caged Mango!

Glad you're home and ok kurama

Yay for your smiley Retro and yes drink lots of water! I'm doing the same with lemon juice in. Have you got preseed or similar?

Just keep DTD retro! That's all you can do!!

Kurama, glad the pain has subsided. Is that common for clomid to have that kind of reaction? Jesus! You poor think!! Hopefully you'll get your BFP though and won't have to go through it again!

kurama, glad the pain is under control and you don't need surgery. Fx that it was a good egg being released (rather forcefully) and it won't happen next month as you'll be pg!

Posy, damn, that's my weekly swordfish and marlin surprise off the menu!

In other news, got a positive OPK today . However, despite copious amounts of Benylin my cm appears to be... Well, gloopy. About the consistency of PVA, but not stretchy. Lots more water for me...

Back home now. Not in as much pain as this morn but no idea if pain is going or just the mega strong painkillers have kicked in.... They think it is over stimulation but it's only on one side not normal and the pain last night was probably a cyst rupturing as one side is quite enlarged with fluid round it. They wouldn't let me eat at all today in case I needed surgery. thankfully I don't but still had a panic attack when surgeon walked into my room! still hoping I may have got lucky despite everything but we shall have to wait till 15th to see and I pray it doesn't happen again next month

Retro the NHS reckons smoked salmon is okay and fresh should be limited to two portions a week - it's just swordfish, marlin, shark and fresh sushi that are off the list altogether.

I am currently munching on a smoked salmon sandwich. Because of course in a couple of weeks I won't be able to...
