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!

Just found this link for baby names that mean "dragon". Was actually googling 'dragon baby grows' when I came across this link and felt like I just had to share it with you lot!

Not sure how you'd explain to said child why you chose their name because it meant Dragon, but I suppose it would be a bridge you'd cross when you got there...

Big fat instant dark line on OPK this lunch time. First month using them (only ICs but they seem to be working) and after 3 days of faint lines, finally got a dark one! I was just starting to think that maybe the ICs didn't want to work with my wee...been DTD every other day for the past few days anyway (OH is getting better at his "today might be a good time to be sexy" hints probably because I've given up being subtle and now just show him the wee sticks and tell him that it means we need to have sex . Nowt like being blunt, eh?) but we will be DTD with purpose for the next few days and then I suppose it's the dreaded 2ww.

Trying to keep busy and not count my days 3 dogs in the house and another one on one-to-one daily training are certainly helping. For now I'm doing ok, but I'm likely to turn into a crazy woman again once I'm half way through my 2ww!

Had really sharp what I'm assuming are OV pains on Thursday and Friday, weird AF-like pulling feelings 'downstairs' and I guess a little bit of Lucas, but not as much as I'd hoped I get so excited nowadays when I see Lucas!. If I only got a dark line on my OPK today, but weird pains a few days ago does that mean I'm likely to OV today/in the next 24-48 hours or does it mean it's already happened? Don't suppose it really matter either way come to think of it as we'll be DTD regardless until any form of a second line on my wee stick disappears completely!

Yay for Linda! Really wishing you a healthy and happy ny pregnancy :).

Wow!! Literally never heard of that. Thanks for the clearly top tip!! frantically dashes off to google softcup airmail vendors

Keep it in for atleast 6 hours

Chandler you can do that but there would still be some spillage. I got oh to do his thing into the softcup then inserted it

Linda am so happy for you!! And loving all the info you're sharing for the rest of us. How interesting re the OPKs showing pregnancy!! Am intrigued by these softcups... Is the idea that you DTD and then shove one up there to keep it all scooped in close to the coal face?!

Sammy your post made me laugh, "being such a dick" very neatly describes me at the moment with the SYMPTOM-spotting!! Have been having mad dreams this week - then read that could be a SYMPTOM, which has led my mischievous mind to ensure I have one every night now... Caught myself absolutely revelling in my own farting frenzy earlier too, as we all know GAS is a SYMPTOM

kurama - nausea woke me at 7.30 this morning and it's no better now. All I've done today is sleep and pee (although did manage to dtd. Dedicated )

well 11dpo and still a bfn :( but still feeling sick most days, stabbing pains throughout the day and slightly sore nipples. its too early for normal af pains and the stabbing pains are a 1st. so theres still hope i suppose. howz everyone doing today? has it sunk in yet linda

I cracked and poa first response test and it was a bfn. Period due in 6 days

So many newborns in Tesco

So opk's really do detect pregnancy! I thought it was a myth but out of curiosity I p'd on one and got a smiley face

serenity I don't temp myself so I can't be sure but I imagine your temp charts would be out due to the virus. I wouldn't jump to any ideas about not ovulating from this cycle. Hopefully next months will make more sense - or better yet you'll get your bfp this month and not have to worry about it!

2 year olds are so funny aren't they. Mine says mummy i'm doing my sex eyes. He means exercise..cracks me up

Congrats Linda. Really happy for you and that it didn't take long start my 2ww today. Hope i will be in your position by end of it!

Ah Mel it's nice to have some older company. And you're right, must stay positive, feeling a bit down today but I'm going to speak to gp on Tuesday and see if they'll do 21 day bloods for me just to check everything's ok.

I'm still hoping that ic are wrong. I thought I had af symptoms this morning but nope! Usually get dull stomach pains before. Oh well, just have to wait and see.....on constant knicker watch

Bet he's thrilled Linda, he'll think he's got super sperm now

My af was due today spinning and the ic was still very faint. I had positives with my 2 boys on the same tests at 10 dpo that's why I thought I had no hope this time cause it's later. Yeah I told oh, he was over the moon and very shocked at how quick it happened, especially after it taking a year the last time

Spinning I am 41.....and linda has given me hope! We must keep positive!

Linda, have you told your dh yet, bet he was surprised it happened so quickly! It does give me hope that I can get a bfp as we are nearly the same age!

ic's Linda, same as you got your positive on.

What tests are you using spinning?

Ahh that's fab Linda

Still no sign of af here and slight brown spotting that I had yesterday has stopped! I hate this waiting bit!!!

Congratulations Linda I'm so pleased for you!!!

spinning it was an instant proper dark line

Can I just say I'm so pleased that it was on the penis dragon buses I found out. You ladies are amazing and you've made me laugh so much and I'm not leaving until you all get your bfp's, you all deserve it so much

Linda, did you get a really good line with frer?

Haha Duchess, such a lovely age

My fertility bracelet just arrived! Postman handed it to my dp so I then had to explain to him what I'd purchased he thinks its quite amusing! Anyway it's really pretty and I'm wearing it already. I'll try and see if I can put a pic on later and show you all.

I've had a virus for 2 weeks now and bravely shagged on a few times through ovulation but my temp charts are crazy (1st month temping) either they look like the Rocky Mountains because I'm sick or because I didn't ovulate?
