April 2015 bus #4 - Step aboard for bfps!

Oh Boris that made me laugh! I'll have to check myself more thoroughly next cycle if this one doesn't work out!

parsnip and dizzym it doesn't matter how much I wash my hands after checking my cervix I always sniff my fingers a lot afterwards. #giveaway1 after frequent loo breaks

Morning all.

When will you be starting the clear blue trial night?

Haha can imagine you lot at your desks saying "oh hang on, let me check my cervix first before I do anything else"

Cd16 and FF has made the cover line on my chart but still no crosshairs? I'm not sure what's going on

Yay :)

Just heard from clearblue :)

Thanks Boris :) poor DH had to put up with me being very clingy this morning

Boris I also do it at work :)

night I take vivid dreams as beignet a sign if high temperatures which is good at 7dpo. :)

maybe I get watery cm about 5 days pre ov. Depending on my diet I don't always have lots of egg white cm, and sometimes I have to go find what I have - with a clean finger you can wipe near your cervix and see what's up there. It doesn't always hit your pants. I do this at work quite a bit (in the loo obvs, not at my desk). Really hope none of my colleagues are on here.

Still checking in occasionally, delighted for you coffee and carrot! Many congrats!

They evidently don't like me parsnip

Have discovered since TTC that around 7dpo I have really vivid and discomforting dreams about my ex, last night was no exception :(

Mrs it depends, I usually get watery 4-5 days before O.

Bear in mind that you may not get egg white; not all women do (I rarely do). Watery cm is fertile so DTD when you see it :)

At what point in the cycle does watery cm usually appear? I know to look out for the egg whites down below but not done much research into the rest of it.

Happy tuesday everyone! Hopfully I'll be symptom reporting later!

sammy glad everything is normal but I know it must be frustrating at the same time. I know several couples who fell pregnant straight after having the HyCoSy - but I would save the four hundred odd pounds and do it in August on the nhs tbh. Three months longer is not so long and you never know what might happen in the meantime x

love the positivity and all the temping/charting!! fingers xd for crosshairs tomo dizzym
What’s your temp doing with all that watery cm parsnip? That's random at cd7?!

Well I'm CD23/32 today and OPK's haven't shown ovulation (though I missed CD20 for some reason). I haven't been able to temp as it's been a rough couple of days (sleeping REALLY badly too, back is killing me). I tested my temp this morning and it was low like I haven't ovulated yet BUT I mouth breath and have a CPAP so it's not definitive yet... but it's late so I think I might be having an anovulatory cycle :S

In other news though, went to a baby shower this weekend and had to go shopping for a present... oh fun baby stuff! I got her something off her registry, the Boon Grass and Twig :) Totally want one for myself!!

Baby dust to us all!

Great idea woolly I have been scouring Google for charts but it would be nice to compare them here because this is where it's all happening!

We'll have to compare charts dizzym! Hope you get those crosshairs soon x

Pleased to see this bus oozing with positivity tonight

Sammy I'm with night in that it's better to carry on ttc as there's every chance you will conceive naturally but still have the IVF option later. It is a lot of money to spend on a test. Sleep on it and see how you feel about it tomorrow.

Jemima our bodies can play cruel tricks on us when ttc. Hopefully it was just a light period.

Woolly I've really got into temping and it is insightful. I'm sure I've ovulated but no crosshairs yet. It will also be interesting to see what my temps look like in the luteal phase. If progesterone continues to be an issue I need to think about what to do.

night yes I heard from them on Friday last week....they sent me a form to sign and scan and email to them and once I do that they'll send me the stuff. I was really surprised to hear from them so quickly, sorry you haven't? Plenty of time though, probably depends on the area you live in I expect.

parsnip have you heard from Clearblue? I haven't :(

Hmm I'd probably agree with night and do it privately if finances allowed, but 3 months could go quickly sammy and you'd still have a plan at the end of it even if it didn't happen naturally in that time. Either way it's great that things are moving!

It's a dilemma Sammy! If you have the money I would prob go privately (assuming this doesn't compromise your right to NHS IVF/IUI?). I would say better to perhaps get a natural BFP if possible but still be able to have the IVF in September if needed :)

We've had a lucky April bus so far jemima, fx lots more to come in May!

So I had my dildocam follow up appointment today and apparently everything is normal. So the next step is to have the HyCoSy test to check my tubes. I have to call on cd1 but there are currently no appointments till August... So I have to guess when will be cd 7-11 in August. Or I could pay £425 to have it done privately, but either way iui/IVF on the nhs won't happen until September as you have to have been trying 2 years.
The question is do I pay the money in the hope that I'm one of those women who get pg straight after? Or do I just wait and have it all on the nhs in 3 months?

Congratulations coffee and carrot!!!

Welcome to the newbies, and welcome back to the returners!

Did I miss anything else important? Xx

I'm fine Woolly, what ever happens I have a lot to be thankful for and if it's meant to be it will be.

Hoping to see lots of BFP's from you lovely ladies this month though!
