Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

Morning all,

Crazy month I am having here, barely time to fart never mind shag think. Have absolutely no idea where I am up to, other than on CD20!! Damn anti-histamines taken to combat the god awful early tree pollen has really screwed with CM, so you would think the BBT would play ball so I would have an idea, but no that's fucked all over the place too!! Only thing that's worked this month is DTD (once DH found his dick the time).

Gilly there must be something in the water, my DH is obssessing about buying a new car. Well new to us, some of our friends are emigrating and he is going to buy their car. He reckons it'll be good for (and I quote) 'all that shit that babies need' .................... well it's a start!

choc great to hear DD is doing so well at school Smile
MRSAVB & Pistachio absolutely, when is the 'right time'. Becoming more and more of a strong believer that it will happen when it is meant to happen.

Busy couple of days ahead, then we are going and spending Easter weekend with the inlaws in their caravan in North Wales. Looking forward to the break (although I will be cooking or we'll starve). Hoping it takes my mind of symptoms spotting, although I have no faith in my cycle this month. DTD days 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 so hoping all bases are coveredGrin)

Good morning ladies

I was very naughty this morning and tested at 10dpo, should have been waiting until 1st April but the waiting game got the better of me. A bfn unfortunately and I've been symptom spotting like crazy but any high hopes that i had of being pregnant have reduced massively Sad

Expecting af a lot more now.....

Penny DH takes vitabiotics wellman conception tablets! Basically the male equivalent of the pregnacare ones I take Smile

Extreme nausea...a symptom? or due to the fact I just ate nearly a whole box of chocolate fingers! Hmm! Xx

Sammieh86 · 27/03/2013 13:13

my bfp due fri/sat....bbs sore, low backache, mild cramping and white cm.....sign of af or bump? fingers crossed :))) xx

deliasmithy · 27/03/2013 14:15

Hello all,
Not been around for a while as busy with work, dtd and got new phone so lost this page!
Im cd23, just beginning to get the crazies again. No symptoms at all but I'll run with that after last months nausea sore boobs etc that just led to af.
Have felt very stressed about the fact this is last chance for 2013 baby. Silly really but sensible doesn't seem to feature right now!

MrsAVB · 27/03/2013 14:34

Pistachio I have decided I will wait til the 7th to POAS.
because I have 2 things planned on the 6th where I will want to drink (not excessively obviously before mumsnet calls social services)
I feel like I'm the naughty kid on the bus...
Xxx

Wardy17 · 27/03/2013 15:50

Is 8/9 dpo to early to test? AF due Sunday.

Don't really know why I'm asking just can't seem to stop thinking about weeing on sticks!!

barebranches · 27/03/2013 18:14

hi fellow passengers
im 4 days past ovulation and today i had cervical mucas that was a browny sort of tinge... what does this mean?

Wardy17 · 27/03/2013 18:23

Ok slightly confused, hoping someone can help me. So this cycle I'm used Clearblue OPKs and I got my smiley face on the 17th and 18th of march. Dtd loads before and after smiley face. Haven't really dtd now since my fertile week (apologise in advance for tmi). I got home from work today and went for a wee, as you do, and noticed when I wiped some cm so I checked it out and it was stretch but not clear and there was hardly any of it, it was tiny, could this be ewcm and could I be ovulating now? I really hope not as I haven't been doing the deed. I haven't had ewcm before, is it clear or white? Does it dry white in your pants? Do you normally get lots? Sorry for all the gross questions.

Bajas · 27/03/2013 19:01

Was wondering about white cm myself wardy as have it today. Not that I'd be fit to dtd tonight anyway- dh on late shift and I woke up dosed with the cold so am feeling very sorry for myself Sad

Bajas · 27/03/2013 19:04

Sorry just noticed it was sammie who had white cm. it's amazing the things you start to become hyper aware of when ttc that you never really noticed before!

PistachioTruffle · 27/03/2013 19:22

I've just consulted the oracle (taking charge) and creamy white cm (which I also have haha) can either be cyclical non fertile cm, or pregnancy associated (!) Stretchy clear or streaked cm is fertile mucus and indicates you may be in the fertile period.

Mrs, thats good, at least you will have a reason to wait and have something to distract you!

Wardy17 · 27/03/2013 19:36

The cm I had was definitely not clear!! FX!!!

Bajas · 27/03/2013 19:51

Ooh pistachio could be a good sign then. Between that, the vivid pregnancy and the rotten cold (lowered immunity) I'm trying not to convince myself I'm pregnant as it'd be a long 2ww for me (or 3 week or 4 week with my cycles!)

Bajas · 27/03/2013 19:51

Vivid pregnancy dream, not vivid pregnancy!

barebranches · 27/03/2013 20:04

what about browny tinged cm?

CandlestickOlder · 27/03/2013 20:23

Good luck Wardy x

(It's me again, the name changer Wink )

Wardy17 · 27/03/2013 20:26

candle you'll have to remind me I have a memory like a siv!!!

CandlestickOlder · 27/03/2013 20:41

Ooh I won't! Love the anonymity of MN and name changing makes me feel much better about it all Grin

I am fx for you and have a positive vibe about this month for you!

Update from me: am on cd 8. Last month my temp tracking said I ovulated on cd18 but I only tracked half the month. So going to DTD every three days - just not realistic to do it more often than that for me and DP. So days 6 9 12 15 18 and if I do then ov maybe squeeze in 19!

Springbells · 27/03/2013 20:43

Bare - sounds like spotting. Could be implantation or break through bleeding. Do you ever get break through bleeding/spotting before af?

barebranches · 27/03/2013 20:48

have had breakthrough once before but it was red not brown.... gaaaggggghhh hate the waiting week. roll on 6th april for my bfp!!!

Zeuxippe · 27/03/2013 20:53

Ooh exciting to hear about all the potential symptoms! I'm at most 6 dpo today but had some slight twinges 'down there' and have convinced myself it's implantation!

Springbells · 27/03/2013 21:21

Ladies - quick (and probably daft) question, is there such a thing as too often dtd? Was planning on every day over ovulation, but just checking this doesn't affect quality as far as anyone knows? Thanks Grin

CandlestickOlder · 27/03/2013 21:24

There is something on that in taking charge Spring. Recommends on how much to DTD if your partners sperm isn't perfect. From what I have read, every other day is ok and sperm does need time to recharge
