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!

Stats for me too, from the non-shagathon perspective. :)

Positive opk on cd 12, temperature spike on morning of cycle day 15.

We dtd cycles 12 and 14.

We also -

• used preseed
• I ate pineapple around possible implantation dates
• upsidedown cycling

However the biggest change was a DRASTIC reduction in caffeine intake.

Whether any of these made any difference I really have no idea. :)

I thought af arrived on 10 dpo, possible implantation bleed. I got my bfp on 13dpo (one day after af was due, my cycles are short).

I'll be sticking around here waving pom poms for all of you ladies!

I am stuck in work Spotti struggling as had only 2 days in last week due to my best friends wedding - just can't seem to get motivated at all! Everything is a distraction today!

Zwanger - LOVE IT! That's what I'm going to use instead of Pregnant from now on :).

Yay for English and Ginger. And fx for SoMuch.

I'm on day 22-24 (I've lost count!) of a 35 day , and around 6-8dpo. Doing well at keeping myself distracted from symptom spotting but I have a feeling that the crazy is going to reappear in a few days...got about a week and a half still to wait. Hmph.

So what are you lovely ladies up to today? I've got a rare day off work and was supposed to be out training a friends dog (the same friend whose springer spaniel is currently chomping on a bone at my feet) but she cancelled due to the pounding rain I'm kind of glad tbh - wasn't looking forward to getting drenched!, and my other daily-dog-client was simply amazing last night and we've decided to have a few days between sessions to allow them all to practise sooooooo that means I've got diddly squat to do today!!! Anyone got any suggestions? Currently just sat here watching twaddly telly Come Dine With Me - bleurgh! and stuffing my face with homemade gluten free quiche (tuna and sweetcorn - sounds weird but it is actually really yummy!)

It's lovely to see more BFP's! :)

This thread is going to bankrupt me! I've already invested in a CB digital OPK tester with 20 sticks and have been knowking back Pregnacare for months but don't think there's any chance of a BFP this month (I'm getting really fed up with DTD not for fun so only managed a couple of half hearted shags this month) So as soon as AF arrives I'm also stocking up on Conceive Plus, softcups, grapefruit juice. Anything else I need??!!

Congratulations English & Ginger. Such good news!

English I'm so pleased for u!! Zwanger hey?! Love that!! Compelling/motivational stats for us all to have a thorough DTD fest this month.

Fx for darker lines SoMuch!

Yay I have softcups....gonna get that egg this time

Morning all!

I am back from a pretty lovely weekend & will catch up with posts in a little (I feel I am going to need a brew as there seems to be TONS!)

AF arrived yesterday for me, grrr what a witch she is but I am all set for getting DTD later on in the month & will keep my fingers crossed & prepared for the June bus

Now.. where do I start with you all?

Welcome mustbedue, good luck

Thanks English, huge boots here so will try and sneak in there without dp, don't think he needs to know about everything!!

I've seen them in Boots Spinning. Both times i've caught I did Smep to the letter.....maybe that's the ticket. Of course i've also had a fair few annov cycles so wouldn't have fallen then anyway!

Thanks Linda, I just looked in superdrug but I'll check boots.

Ooh that's fab somuch, my preseed arrives today so I'll hopefully try it later full of positive thinking this month!

Spinning I ordered my softcups from boots online so you might get them in a boots store. I'd imagine you would anyway cause they are meant for af

Oh those Stats!!! Sorry! Not thinking straight.

DTD CD 12, 14, 15, 17... can't remember after that.. but I think 18 and maybe 20.. and a few more times since.

+OPK on CD11 so adding on the 24-36hrs after they think you Ov in then I would have Ov'd on day 14 ?

The biggest thing we did different is use Preseed. On between days 12-18 or so (and then I got bored of faffing with it and stopped )

If I am upduffed then I blame/credit the Preseed. The last pg (MC) occurred when I had been taking Cough mixture to increase EWCM, of which I have scant offerings at the best of times. All other cycles - actively trying or not - have ended in BFN. Apart from the two that had lots of EWCM/Fake EWCM.

Fab stats English and well done on the shag-a-thon

Quick question....can you buy softcups on the high street? I see them on amazon but they won't arrive ontime!!

I'd like to jump on the bus although am very late and have been lurking..

Stats:

mustbeduesomebetterfeet 36 TTC #2 BFP due 19 May...

Only bothered DTD twice this month on CD12 and 14 so we'll see what happens (although did use the softcups as that seemed to work when I conceived my son).

So excited to see all the BFPs - congrats!

Really hope this is happy news for you SoMuch, fx crossed.

My stats...
DTD: CD 11,13,15,18,20,22,23,24,+25.
+tive OPK CD23. OV'd CD24.
Brown spotting from 12dpo, accompanied by temp dip at 12dpo. Faint line at 16dpo. CB digi today at 18dpo.
Taking Pregnacare and Maca Root (first full month using this). Vit D for last week.

I've kinda lost count Spinning Stats are all over the place as we took a break from Dec-March as we were on holiday so not sure what cycle to say this is ? Cycle 2 post MC ? From beginning ttc this is Cycle 9. BFP/AF due 14th May.

Thanks English.. Am so thrilled for you :D So sad about the MC , it's so hard. Same here, never made it past 1-2 weeks. I will wait a couple of days and see if AF shows up, no more tests until then. Might lay off the just in case though!

Sounds like a good plan English to stay away from the pee sticks! I think you can drive yourself crazy when you keep poas

Stats please ladies

Just realised I said I'm 10dpo....I'm cd 10!!

Try not to worry SoMuch, or compare your tests to last time. I mc in dec too and have decided that now I've got clarification I won't do anymore hpts. Today I am pregnant. My digi's last time never went beyond 1-2 weeks so I knew it was doomed. This time round i'm going to try to enjoy it each day at a time. Wait a couple of days and see how you feel. If af doesn't arrive try another. Sending you lots of luck!

thanks guys . english so happy for u! sonuch im on my phone so cant see pics. but fx it gets darker over next few days.
im feeling very tired and grumpy right now. but thats coz my boss has txt me and woke. me up again. (he likes waking me up) but I have one of my furbabys curled up on my stomach at mo

I am nervy about the faintness.. When I MC in December the line was faint.. got strong, then got fainter...

I wish I hadn't peed on the bloody thing now. Just left it until AF was late (if she came late) because then I'd never know if it was AF or just a poor little unstuck bean.
