The May bus sets off for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, throw out their BastardSticks but then buy more to piss on and just want to be upduffed!

feeling like absolute shite at mo, woke up with a seized shoulder this morn and still feeling sick most of day, eaten almost nothing again, which is unusual the week before af due. normally cant stop eating!
also not sure if because of the rain storm thats about to hit, but my arthiritis has been really playing up in my hips and back. in bloody agony at work. also hardly drinking tea. now on cup 3 instead of normal 6-10cups.....hope everyone is ok this week

I'll join you rambini and we can curl up and both cry. It can get a bit all encompassing, can't it?

Shouted at DH (could be PMS??!!) and am now wondering if a cheeky DTD will help kick start AF, or is that taking it a step too far?!

Evening, hope everyone is okay. Dont know whats wrong with me tonight, feeling very down and lonely Sad Want to curl up and cry but have no idea why.
Sorry to those Af has got. Bitch.

hanflan · 06/05/2014 20:29

Thanks Kitty. I've put the bastardsticks away. No more poas until much closer to due date!

Could be a progesterone surge, hanflan, but I'm only guessing. Implantation normally happens from 7dpo to 12dpo, so you might have a fertilised bean but not at the stage where HCG is produced.....yet!!!

I wish we could just wave a magic wand and have someone tell us exactly what I'd going on in our bodies!

There's always lh in your system so most of the time an opk will have some sort of line on it but it's only + for ov if it's as dark as or darken than the control line aswell so don't worry about there being a line

hanflan · 06/05/2014 20:05

Thanks Linda. Have no idea what it is then, I know it's not LH as my temps have been gradually rising since ovulation and cervix is high. Maybe just a duff bastardstick Sad

lindamagoo · 06/05/2014 20:02

Hanflan the opk will only show + for pregnancy later, not sensitive enough this early and the test line has to be as dark as or darker than the control line

toots123 · 06/05/2014 19:53

Lovely sammy! We are off to america in a couple of weeks and had hoped to be going pregnant but thats not the case.
if bfp this month I would be 30ish weeks when we are off in the winter so probably best waiting a month or two before booking :)

sammyj85 · 06/05/2014 19:46

9/10 dpo so I guess its not over yet!

I don't know much about using opks as bastardsticks, got my fingers crossed though!

We're going to canada in july toots, wanted a bfp this month so I'd be over 12 weeks when we fly. We shall see!

hanflan · 06/05/2014 19:20

Girls I did a stupid thing! I am 8 dpo and today I've been reading loads of stuff on the internet about how opks work as pregnancy tests bla bla bla. So I pissed on one just out of curiosity. I got two lines. Test line is not quite as dark as control line but still clearly there! So I got all excited and pissed on a FRER. bfn of course!
I know FOR SURE I am not ovulating... So could this opk show very very early levels of hcg?!

Someone slap me now!

hanflan · 06/05/2014 19:17

Sorry Sammy! What day is AF due, how many dpo are you? Hopefully there is still time!

toots123 · 06/05/2014 18:53

Evening ladies
sorry your still in limbo kitty!!

We went to travel agent to book a winter holiday but changed our mind. If no bfp by July we will be booking though!
Really hoping for our bfp!

sammyj85 · 06/05/2014 17:28

I poas. Stupid. Bfn. Grrrr.

Happy Tuesday!

Feeling very sorry for myself! Have been Googling:" No AF but BFN"' "Anovulatory Cycles" and "messed up cycles after chemical".
All contradiciting each other!!

Was even jumping up and down a little bit earlier to try and kick start AF into appearing Hmm I hate this!!!!!!!

Aaaannnndddd breathe! Grin

What's occurring ladies?!

OP posts:
hanflan · 06/05/2014 12:50

bella haha I re-read your post and realised after I posted! I think it's just automatic on this thread to think AF = bad Grin. Well, yay for AF then! Back on the bus.

bellaboo88 · 06/05/2014 12:44

Macmissy - not actually got my contract yet. I read the usual 15weeks by the 26th week etc & I assume you're OK if you've been there a week before you get prey. If not, MA will be fine...but 90% for a couple of weeks would be good.

Han - thanks but this is a happy AF, one month off for Xmas avoid.dance & another avoidance cycle as my parents will be away, so I can rejoin the trying!

MrsE, my 2month break has been boring but I'm back, ready to get down to business. See you back soon I hope xx

xBlueberry88x · 06/05/2014 12:44

Afternoon Ladies ive been taking a break from the bus for a few days.

Nice to see a couple of BFP's congrats ladies.

Welcome to the newbies!!

So much has happened.

MrsE Take some time out and try to relax having to much going on is no help to anyone.

CD 20 here and still bleeding (day 7) brown in colour and nothing like AF getting fed up now it ruined my anniversary shagging lol

Lizs1985 · 06/05/2014 11:28

Thanks chandlers, I will have a look at that thread. Yeah, wish I'd come off the pill sooner, I'm sure my cycles are shorter from being on the pill so long.

kurama · 06/05/2014 11:23

welcome liz! thanks ladies. im still hopefull and at least ive been using ics instead of the cb and frers I have a few left of lol

ChandlersFarang · 06/05/2014 11:16

Hi Liz, welcome!! Smile I came off the pill at Xmas too, it's been a right old slog waiting for the body to sort itself out! In case you haven't seen it there's another thread with quite a few ppl that came off the pill at the same time on here - "Anybody TTC after recently stopping pill" (sorry no link, am on phone) - I found it earlier, was nice to see others in exactly the same boat working stuff out! Smile

ChandlersFarang · 06/05/2014 11:12

MissMrs - thank you kindly!! That's a good tip for what supplements to buy too. Amazing they had that impact for you. I like the bonus side effects too! Maybe I'll seek those out today then. Smile

Good rationale for charting AND OPKs there as well! You and English are training us all up very well, much appreciated!! X x x

Lizs1985 · 06/05/2014 11:06

Thanks for the advice missmrsmummy, that's really helpful. I've ordered a thermometer and I'll try the app you said too.
Waffleyversatile let's hope first response isn't as accurate as they say! Fingers crossed!
