New bus boarding for April 2012

[Sukie1971]

Since I've this morning fallen off the March bus, I've chartered and boarded April 2012s bus.

So to start

Sukie1971 (40) ttc#2 AF due 24th July (ish)

hiya everyone

notinmykitchen so sorry that af got you today i hope the may bus is better luck for you xx

spout i remember reading about eating pineapple when I was overdue, quite interested if it can help with ovulation

well edinburgh zoo was fab, nearly never went as the weather was changing every minute but when we got there the sun came out and stayed out. my DD loved every minute of it, esp the monkeys and the penguins. Went to see the penguin parade and a group of around 15 came out and was within touching distance of Sarah which made her so hyper lol. It was an eventful journey home tho. We live around 1.5hours away and as soon as we left for home my stomach was going into terrible cramps, so bad i couldnt drive (my DH doesnt drive so we were stuck) i just managed to get to a service station just before TMI ALERT diahorrea started we finally managed to get home 2.5 hours later :(..the cramps are still on and off but at least im not running to the toilet anymore. im not sre whats caused this, but my af is prob going to show soon :(

Karbea yes yesterday was positive. Friday negative, Saturday Positive and Sunday negative. Which is slightly confusing because I thought that you have a few days of positive in order to show you that you are in the fertile window. Hmm maybe I'm wrong. And advice would be great. Are you using FF or ov sticks?

Laura lovely to hear you had a great day, I love Edinburgh. Sorry about your tummy troubles do you think you ate something?

morning everyone hope everyone is ok :)

Been up all night with my DD she was violently sick all night. what with that and cramping all night its not been a good start to the day. the only plus side is that AF has still not arrived. Im tempted to go and buy a first response today to take tomorrow but hate the thought of wasting money lol I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon due to the problem with AF not showing up and the cramping heres hoping they can give me some info to help ease my confused mind lol

right so im going to use ov tests this time, going ot start from about day 10.

so when are you suppose to make sure you have swi?

as soon as the test shows positive
[i know you should have as much as poss!]
but just checking when you need to make sure you have swi as much as possible.

I think it's meant to indicate that you will be ovulating in the next few hours or days. I noticed that (without too much tmi) that my cm was pretty apparent Thursday, Friday and Saturday and only had a positive test Saturday. Sunday and today I noticed I have pretty much no cm. Crossing my fingers all the signs are in my favor.

thanks coleen.

so when do you try and make sure you have swi.

before the test comes up positive?

and when the test comes up positive

Well this month I have mainly adopted the "every other day" method. We did hop to SWI on the positive but haven't since because we both found it to be a bit too much pressure. We are going to go back to everyother day I think but be mindful of the ov tests

does your dh/dp know you do the tests?
i try and do it insecret as to not put dh off!

as i have irregegular cycles, i will be glad to do the ov tests, as then i will know to expect a period 14 days after a positive ov test, then if no period comes i can them do a pg test.

rather tahn not knowing when to test iyswim

carriedababi I tend not to mention too much detail about charts / ov sticks etc. Not that he listens anyway; when I mentioned about taking folic acid recently he looked up from his laptop all alarmed and said "Bollock acid? What the fuck do you want me to do with that?"

carried my mistake was telling my DH, so now (for the rest of the cycle and fingers cross not much longer) I am going to be more hush hush. He doesn't know I have him on a everyother day plan be just thinks it's summer lovin :)

Hi all! Can I sneak onto the bus please? it is VERY early days but DH and I had a conversation about "stopping using contraception and seeing how things go". To him that probably just means wait and see. To me it means I'll be hanging out on these boards and counting cycle days. its going to be hard to avoid the ovulation sticks!

Its a pretty nerve wracking time because i'd love another DC but it took 6 months to conceive DS and then he was born extremely prematurely (24+1) and was in hospital for 5 months before coming home. We're very lucky he's alive, but he is still struggling from his early start, he's 26 months now. If we do get pg i'll have a cervical stitch placed at 12 - 14 weeks and might be on bedrest from then until delivery. aargh!

would normally hang out on the Bliss messageboard but my mum reads it and i don't want her to know we are TTC. :-) If you know me from over there, please don't mention it on Bliss!!

lol, i've just spat my water out at bollock acid

lol

that is brill!

yes i think its best to not put them off and let them[the men] see us doing th eov tests etc!

where do you keep yours?
mine are in the wardrobe, but perhaps i should sneak them into the bathroom.

dh does know we are ttc btw, just as you say see how it goes kind of a way.

he would be horrifieto read these boards to know we discuss every detail of swi cm periods etc etc

Bad thing is the ov tests I use you have to wee in a cup. He spotted the cup this weekend seeing we were both home :/ hopefully he will feel less pressured from now on. I am pretty sure my ov was this weekend but if no BFP I think I will go back to being a bit more low key.

carrie colleen I've never used ov sticks before, I did try and chart BBT when ttc before but again due to my body playing games with me this was hard to do. i think if AF comes I will be starting ov sticks aswell.

michaela welcome on board. Sorry to hear about the trouble you had with your Ds so happy that he is a fighter hopefully your next pregnancy will go full term x

Well I feel very sick cant stomach the thought of eating anything normal apart from a bag of skittles (which I usually cannot stand) I have now eaten 3 big bags of them since the weekend...no wonder Ive been on a sugar rush. since this morning Ive been feeling a little crampy on and off (nothing like yesterday) cant bear the thought of eating normal foods and the smell of food is really making me boak (i work in a hospital and the smell of hospital food is worse than normal lol) I'm sure I am suffering from these things as I am imagining being pregnant iykwim

Laura sorry to hear about your illness. Hope you start to feel better soon. So your tip is to bring a pack lunch when goingbto hospital :p

And welcome michaela

Hi to all bus companions old and new. Been away with no phone signal so catching up on all the news. Sorry to see some off the bus already, FX for the rest.

Had cramps for last week and the mother of all headaches on Friday night. Couldnt wait any longer so tested this morning - BFN . So sitting awaiting AF arrival. if she gets a move on, I'll have another crack at this bus! Hope my ticket is valid for the extended journey. Who says public transport isn't value for money.

Bollock acid has cheered me up immensely, though

Hi all,

Have changed my stats as last af went from 45 day cycle to 29 so fingers x that my cycles are settling already even if it is only my my 3rd month off the pill.

Hello all

Still very fustrated sitting here. But to add to the tummy craps im now feeling very faint. Did a test still a neg.

Still no af, don really know when its due but really want a pos or a af so i no im working correctly as had the coil out last month and didnt have a af with it in. So its been over 7yrs since a af. Im just starting to panic a little bit.

Please tell me its all normal!

Hi bugger welcome and that must be one interesting story.

Hang in there Mucky fingers crossed for you.

Is there space for me? Just fallen off the March bus, but going to get right back and right back into action! To console myself, I've had a little tidy up. If you notice your name has dropped from the bottom, I've not deleted it, just filed it away nicely. (Yes, I can also be found on Flylady threads )
