Let's face it May 2012 is full of bank holidays leading up to an extra day off thanks to the Queen. We are all bound to get updiffed and miss the time off -(where we should be in the pub) looking after our new babies.

A bus for those who find it difficult to remember new names. Ting ting - no getting off untilk a BFP.

Starting the stats Bleats (31) TTC#1 af due 31st Aug ish

Heehee Smile laughing at the idea I'd us all wriggling into convoluted positions has cheered me up!

Was at the doctors today (non baby-making-related) and there were FOUR pregnant women there. Made me awfully sad that I'm not there yet. One of them was about 16 and I wanted to stand up ad scream in her face that it wasn't fair; she has her whole life to get pregnant. I was so desperately jealous, as if they were using up all the babies or something Sad. Stoopid I know.

lol spuddy. Looks like I've come back in at the right time. Started swi last night.. CD 13 is always my first swi day Grin.

FloydieDoydie · 25/08/2011 12:43

Just got a nasty surprise when went to the loo and four AF arrived Sad. After last month 33 days, I wasn't expecting her yet (day 25). I suppose I should have expected the unexpected given I only stopped the pill on 27th June, but this was a shocker. Plus the added heartbreak of not being preggo Sad. Guess it explains my tears the past few days though!

It also means we only DTD once when I could have been ov'ing, but explains why I missed it with poas. Guess from day AF ends we will have to swi every other day and poas every day too.

Guess I'm the conductress of the June mini-bus instead.

Good luck and happy BPFs to you all my lovelies. May the sperm always swim the right way and your blue lines always be double Smile

180 · 25/08/2011 13:45

oh Floydie SadSad. big hugs and fingers crossed for you next month. Hope you can find some time to relax and take your mind off it for a bit and be kind to yourself.

Spuddybean · 25/08/2011 15:13

Sad Floydie - Once your cycle rights itself it will be easier i'm sure. Coming of the pill takes a couple of months i think. If i'm not BFP i will be the first on your june bus i promise! Have some wine tonight and treat yourself to something Smile

As for POTF mycat i read More religeously too but i find all these positions really are just variations on a theme. There is only really 3 main ones and the rest is just what you stand/sit/lay on and what you do with your legs. So i still consider the CAT missionary really.

DP and i once had an almost fatal attempt at doing it standing up in his kitchen when we first met and ever since have been cautious - Altho i'm thinking of buying one of those swings that you attach to the door.

Anyone got one of them? are they fun?

Pipbin · 25/08/2011 15:46

Bloody hell Ladies. Here is me thinking about perfectly perfunctory sex and you lot are hanging off wardrobes with your feet behind your ears!

To interrupt this filth Wink I've had a positive OPK, when do I actually OV?

180 · 25/08/2011 17:05

sorry Pipbin no idea re OPKs

Does anyone know whether you ovulate after you get EWCM, during, or before? Feel like a rookie, not someone ttc #3. Tis ridiculous.

180 · 25/08/2011 17:18

this is great on ewcm, ovulation, opks and all manner of stuff you may or may not ever wish to know Smile

Byrnsie30 · 25/08/2011 17:18

Hey all,

We all seem to have really got into this position talk - go for it ladies!!

Sorry AF got to you floydie and good luck on the next bus x

Pipbin according to CB digital ov tests, when you get a positive test you should SWI anytime in the next 24-48 hours to maximise chances of conceiving! Hope this helps x

minipie · 25/08/2011 17:29

pipbin I have read that you usually ovulate between 24-36 hours after the +ve OPK.

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 25/08/2011 21:37

Sorry to see you go Floydie - who is going to check the tickets now? Good luck next month - hope you're enjoying a large Wine tonight.

lol Spuddy - I say get the door hanger in while you have the chance... the only kind of door hanging action we have got excited about since ds arrived was when he was big enough for the bouncer!

Yay Pipbin - get on top of that wardrobe and make the most of that positive OPK Grin

FloydieDoydie · 26/08/2011 15:29

Stop! False alarm - AF not arrived! I think anyway :S

TMI alert... Yesterday had large amount of pretty red stuff, plus a large clot (sorry, v.gross). As was redder rather than browner, thought was AF. Last night changed tampon and noticed wasn't very heavy. Today changed tampon and was almost totally dry. As such, assuming spotting not AF.

So.....hmmmm. I think this is unlikely to be implantation, as clot was pretty big. But probably just more evidence of totally arsed up cycle.

minipie · 26/08/2011 15:33

Welcome back, Floydie Smile

By the way, anyone know where my +ve OPK result has gone? last 2 months I've had a strong line day 19 regular as clockwork - with medium lines on days 18 and 20. This month, day 19 has come and gone (yesterday) with absolutely no line whatsover. Humph.

Spuddybean · 26/08/2011 22:09

Are anyone elses boobs sore? Mine are really tender, especially the nipples (and they seem bigger - the nipples i mean). I have had a kind of proddy/poking feeling in my stomach. i feel the need to wee loads. Im off stuff and have a weird taste in my mouth.

Am i deluding myself? i'm trying not to get my hopes up but i've never felt like this - not even on my period. I have never ever in my life had sore boobs. (tbh i've got hardly any boobs to be sore in the first place!)

I'm so glad i've got a place to be bonkers - i would never say the above in RL!!

Spuddybean · 26/08/2011 22:10

oh yes, and clumsy, i am really forgetful and clumsy - which is a pmt sign for me usually - but it's very early if it is AF :(

Imustbecrazy26 · 27/08/2011 00:54

Me and dp are away so have been swi caravan style! [Grin] on cd 56 so not sure when we should be swi am definitely getting opk sticks when I get back just to see what going on!

Spuddy sound promising!

Floydie I know how you feel came off the pill 4 months ago and my cycle is all over the place too am currently on cd56 so am pretty annoyed at the min!!

Bleats · 27/08/2011 07:59

Morning all - hurrah a bank holiday and I am up with Brew and catching up with you lovely ladies! Welcome back Floydie and hello to some of the newbies.

Cats - I remember the position of the fortnight! More was a great mag and took me on from Just 17. Crazy can't recall 'caravan style' - is that is a caravan or something else?!?

Yes it is about time that the bus gets a bit bumpy with symptoms and Spuddy that seems incredibly positive Envy. I on the other hand have nothing. I feel perfectly normal and I think that I would be deluding myself to claim anything Sad Hey ho - let's see.

HorseyGirl1 · 27/08/2011 08:10

Me too. AF due next Friday-ish. Considering prebooking seat on filthy June bus so at least have fun ride to look forward to - that just sounds wrong doesn't it, ha ha! xx

HorseyGirl1 · 27/08/2011 08:12

Caravan style - what when the truck's a rocking don't come knocking?

Bleats · 27/08/2011 08:36

Thanks Horsey Grin

I have been getting very broody looking at this thread - not to everyone's tase but I am a geek (and proud...) www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1287038-Ultimate-geek-present-for-children

Imustbecrazy26 · 27/08/2011 15:26

Bleats we just away in a caravan it not some out of this world position! Grin

Horsey that's exactly it!!

No symptoms for me but not sure when af going to arrive if I go from the two days of spotting I had which I thought was af have got at least another 10 days at a guess

harmonyb23 · 27/08/2011 16:37

Hello everyone! Well I'm on CD13 now and have got a positive OPK. Have been DTD most nights this week, but I'm going to have to tell my DP he can't rest yet Grin

Determined to get that BFP this month! It's only my 3rd cycle since coming off the contraceptive implant but I am SOOO impatient!

Sounds promising Spuddy

Well off to console DS thought he would nap a bit longer than the 15mins he's been up there - not a chance - think I may make myself a Brew before I go and see to him, think I need it!

Byrnsie30 · 27/08/2011 17:17

Hey all,

I am determindly focussing on not symptom spotting - it' so difficult though. I have sore boobs - but that's not unusual so not reading too much into it!

Floydie welcome back - sounds promising - you never know! You tried a test? Also, not to be a scare-monger but I'm sure I heard something about not using tampons during spotting? That could be complete rubbish, but thought it was worth a mention!

I spoke to a friend of mine the other day and she had bleeding at week 11 and week 16 of her pregnancy and has a very healthy 9 month old girl now :)

This has turned out to be a bit of a 'random bits of information' message - apologies for rambling!!!

My mantra for today 'I WILL NOT DO A CB DIGITAL PG TEST UNLESS AF IS LATE!' Only 9 days to wait - aahh!! Biscuit and Brew for me. Anyone else?!

Spuddybean · 27/08/2011 18:59

My DP has been away for a couple of nights and just come home, we went to bed for some late, just in case swi and when i took my top off he was Shock at my boobs (i haven't told him any symptoms or anything as he is likely to tell everyone he has ever met that i am pregnant!).

TMI alert - MY NIPPLES ARE LIKE SAUCERS! is that normal? I'm starting to worry it might be the mother of AF's on its way.

I also very embarrassingly burst into sobbing tears at a doc abut the battle of britain. Blush

I'm trying not to get my hopes up and putting off going to the loo in case i get early AF.

HorseyGirl1 · 27/08/2011 20:46

Sounds very promising Spuddy FX
