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!

Waffley.....I'm a bit of an exercise freak and I know how you feel! I did a 20 min run on Tues and then kettlebells on Thurs though and was fine. Skipped gym this morning due to hangover lol. Exercise when pregnant is fine provided you make the necessary adjustments. The increased cramps might just be a SYMPTOM!

There's no denying that line Linda!

I've spent the morning sniggering like a teenager at the number of innocently inappropriate sentences that have come out of 2 year old DS's mouth this morning. He can't pronounce 'stick' very well and it sounds more like 'dick' and he has so far said:
I'm going to show daddy my long dick
Can I show that man my long dick?
Mummy can you hold my dick?

He than asked me to carry him the last part of the way because he was "too busy" to walk. Cheeky sod.

I love the word guffawing! Guffawing at myself right no with spotting SYMPTOMS.

  1. slight diarrhea (did have dominos for tea! )
  2. slight nausea (cold slice of pizza for breakfast! )
  3. Lower back ache (had to curl around the cat's sleeping position for most of the night)

Anti SYMPTOMS

  1. one magpie in the garden this morning. Sorrow right?

Being such a dick!

toothachereturns · 03/05/2014 11:02

Again this might be tmi.... but DH and I have dtd this morning.... how long should I lie here to maximise chances and not lose the precious wrigglers?? lol. Does it help? Smile

rambini · 03/05/2014 10:51

Haha it has taken me all morning to read back through what I have missed!
Massive congratulations linda so pleased for you Smile
retro when you get ur bfp you are officially banned from leaving us. My dh thinks I am mental when I wake him up guffawing (love that word!) at your yoghurt covered fanjo!
I am currently cycle day 14, been having highs on cbafm since day 8 so am already exhausted and sore from dtd even though I have a long cycle and so should ov around day 22! Think I will have keeled over by then! And will def need some yoghurt!
Happy Saturday everyone Smile

lindamagoo · 03/05/2014 10:46

So here is the all important stats. Now keep in mind I've struggled to get pregnant the last twice, I'm 43 this month and it's only taken 2 cycles. SOFTCUPS ladies Smile

+opk on cd 11, ov on cd 13.

dtd cd 7 and 13.

inseminated using softcup and conceive plus on cd's 9, 11, 12, 14 and 16.

Possible implantation pains on cd 17/18.

Loads of cervical Lucas from ov until now, still got loads. Slight cramping now and then, fuller feeling boobs and the worst diahrrhea ever for most of this week

KittyVonCatsington · 03/05/2014 10:25

Yay! Hooray for the FRER. A good starting line. Now just sit back and enjoy POAS and watching the line get darker Thanks

I might have ovulated late (but then would have missed DTD anyway, even though the last DTD was on CD20. I didn't do my usual DTD marathon as DH was away sailing during what might have been key days. Hence I'm not as gutted as I have been.

Will go back to shagging every other day from CD8 to CD14 then every day till about CD25. Ovulaton day was CD19 before early mc, so going off that. Worked for me before Grin If i'm not ovulating since early mc, then I need to find out and hopefully, charting will tell me that. Thanks for the recommendations, Chaircat!

(Softcups are also useful for scooping yogurt into fanjos. Nowt like a multi-purpose conception aid)
