The March Bus is rolling through Spunkland stopping for BFPs only!

Despite a very vivid dream and feeling like a furnace this morning, my temp has plummeted so that's me out again.
Off to try and survive work without blubbering at my desk, hope you all have better days. Xx

Purdey we were recommended 'nymphomaniac' but it mostly appears to be about fishing so we just ignored it. DH seemed happy enough with the crotchless pants and fishnet stockings DH is 23 unfortunately I don't think he would want his photo posted!

So, new symptom today I think and that's the need to pee. Even after I've been, I feel like I need to go again. When I sit down it's an easy enough urge to ignore, it's not a desperate feeling. So, either a symptom or a UTI!

So now we're at:

• uterine cramping;
• back pain; and
• urge to pee, a lot.

I still really want to test but tomorrow's temp (hopefully I don't get woken early again) may be the deciding factor. Who knows, my self control isn't great sometimes!

Found you all on the new thread! That happened quickly.

juney sorry to hear af turned up. When would you need to hear from plan c guy by?

mrsg me too! Surely signing up for a year is the way to invoke a bfp sometime in the next 12 months?

purdey I have no idea what's going on with my cycles but this was only first full cycle since dd (now 16 months) so it might be too early to expect miracles, esp as they found out at my csection I only have one Fallopian tube...will spend a couple of months temping before I do anything else as I also wouldn't get maternity pay etc etc if it's too early in the new year. I know there's never an ideal time but no maternity pay on top of moving house might be one hurdle too many. And dh will be in Australia at a conference for the whole crucial week this month!

Sorry, didn't do stats.

I'm (just!) 30. Have a DD who is (just) 17 months. DP and I started trying in December but we weren't tracking ovulation and not dtd at the right times. Tried again in January, this time with Clear Blue OPK, and got BFP but then miscarried.

Conceived DD on first cycle so we're hopeful we can do it, it's more about agreeing that we want to do it, if you know what I mean. Bloody hormones.

Awww, she is gorgeous!

This is her this evening hiding behind my foot asleep!

I'm not a cat person

hides

Ahh that sucks Nomio :(

Aww I love Persians! Would deff be the breed of choice if we ever get another one, my DH loves them too :)

woah woah woah I leave you guys for half a day and I miss 9 pages!

welcome to the new passengers and sorry for those who've got AF.

juney sorry about your gross pof replies, you'll get your prince sperm I'm sure of it

purdey hope you get your bum fixed soon :)

Got some ewcm this afternoon, but a negative opk. I haven't even started on my clear blues yet. Oh well, will dtd just in case.

Male cats are totes cuddlier than their female counterparts. I'm sick of my cats waking me when my baby sleeps through the night. I want to actually kill them.

What an utter load of shite. There would be a serious number of subfertile women if blowjobs had a deleterious effect on conceiving.

I love cats, but am allergic.

Juney she's a cross between a Norwegian forest cat and a non specific breed! Do you have any cats? I do love them but she's not as affectionate as my last cat who was male, not sure if that has anything to do with it?!

Purdy! Cremedevagine thank you very much

No idea about the snazzy blue box. I'm obviously very important.

I think there would need to be a lot of saliva for it to make a difference though. Also, when a man goes down on a woman, I doubt much ends up inside her. I think I am going to ignore it & just carry on with us both drooling over each other's bits!

Could performing oral sex before doing the deed hurt my chances of getting pregnant?
If you’re trying to get pregnant, better tell your guy to keep his mouth away from down there. Sorry to spoil the fun, but while saliva doesn’t exactly wipe out all sperm, it does have a slight spermicidal activity. Research has found that when saliva was added to normal semen, it induced a “shaking movement” in 12 percent of the total sperm population. It only happened in high concentrations of saliva, but researchers did find that sperm motility (their ability to swim) was cut down significantly. Their conclusion was that saliva had a “deleterious effect on sperm motility and activity” and should not be used as a vaginal lubricant. So save the oral sex for days when you’re not ovulating and keep to the other kind of sex when the focus is on making a baby.+

I just looked online about the sperm/saliva thing. Apparently it can stop them swimming properly.

Ooh thanks for that Purdey......off to seduce dp now
