March bus..let's get this mad March hare going.....

[PetiteChouette]

Hi everyone, I'm taking a plunge and starting our folicking March bus off to a start.

SaRA, that sounds exactly like me and dh!! He thinks its hilarious!! No such thing as post-coital romance in my house! haha!

Hi ladies, jumping on this bus as ovulation was late at CD21. My stats are ttc#2, cycle 2, AF/bfp due around 4 March. Seem to be having trouble with a short luteal phase since coming off cerazette so am not hopeful although we had a good go at dtd at all the right times. Taking b6 to attempt to extend it as well as Brazil nuts and pineapple to (supposedly) help with implantation. Sigh, why does ttc make all common sense fly out of the window?

Haha, sounds hilarious SaRaRa! We're only on cycle 4 of ttc, so I'm still trying to convince DH that I'm being normal . I'm still trying to temp check of a morning surreptitiously! I do lie on my back for a while after DTD with my knees up, then do the 'clench and dash' to the bathroom! I don't notice losing much en route.

If my blood test results show anything untoward though I'm throwing all I have at it!! Dignity and romance out of the window .

So glad to hear some positivity surfacing today.

Glad your first day went well Barmy!

Sounds like you had a great appointment Choccy. Keep the positivity going!

No spoilers on OBEM please. I have to watch it later.

I currently have no idea where I am in my usual regular cycle. On cd12, may have ov'd on sat(cd10) but only started opks on sat too (so far BFNs)! Dtd cd8, 10, 11 +12 but I really have no idea if I have ov'd yet or not. Just have to keep poas and dtd. Keeping my fx for a bit of luck for myself and all you lovely ladies x

English good to hear I am not alone. Retro I was normal for the first cycle. After that not so much When I was TTC previously I tried to sneakily temp every morning, the beeping of the thermometer gave it away tho. Never really got the hang of it!

Poly hope you can figure out ov over the next few days x

*So just a checklist to clarify everyone's top methods in addition to your ewcm/opks etc (please copy/paste & add your own :-) :

Nudp - naked upside down peddling
Koala plan - anyone doing this?
Smep
Swi
Soft cups

Additional stuff
Cough syrup
Evening primrose (seems new popular one)*

What's Smep?

I can add:

• Pregnacare vitamins (no more own brand for me, oh no)
• Grapefruit juice from CD1 to ov
• Acupuncture day after LH surge
• Lots of orgasms (allegedly gives your uterus the extra heat that acts like a sperm-attracting beacon and the contractions of the uterus hoover up the sperm, I suspect that this is complete bs but it's more fun than dutifully swigging grapefruit juice )

I don't have any green sheets otherwise I might be tempted to try those!

Yeah had 12 week scan Im 14+2 now!!! Its going really quickly!!!

Have seen writer on a few threads in pg but Im sure her baby is due soon!! Hopefully she will pop in and say

OBEM and mojito... Much better momday!

Wow thats gone really quick lucy, glad everything is going well!!!

Sarara you have given me a good laugh giggle tonight at the image of DH hoisting you up after DTD! If it works, it's worth it!

Posy I'm adding in manuka honey every day - supposedly helps with ttc - and somewhere, I heard talk of a hot water bottle after OV day... this is now my excuse why I need a hot water bottle everynight to DH!

mama I will happily lend you half of my drive to take your mind off ttc for a while if you want . I used to teach about 10 mins from home along a lovely country road, so this is a big change for me! If it makes things go quicker, I'm all for it!

lucy glad to see you are doing well!

Spinning yes, probably worth having a chat with the lady about reflexology and how often. I think it probably depends on what you are after from it (apart from the bfp of course!). I was very much focussed on sorting out my irregular cycles which is why I have gone for a couple during this cycle.

*So just a checklist to clarify everyone's top methods in addition to your ewcm/opks etc (please copy/paste & add your own :-) :

Nudp - naked upside down peddling - do lifts me into position complete with pillow under bum & phone/tablet/drink for 30 minute stint before drippy run!
Koala plan - consists of nudp, Manuka honey & orgasm after dp/dh
Smep - Google it, its DTD every other day & go wild during ov
Swi - general shagging with intent every other day
Soft cups - to hold spunkies near dip-dipping cervix

Additional stuff
Cough syrup containing g-something - more cm
B6 -lengthens lp
Evening primrose (seems new popular one)*
Pregnacare vitamins (I use 7seas trying for a baby)
Grapefruit juice from CD1 to ov
Acupuncture day after LH surge
Reflexology - unblocks any blockages & stimulates ovaries etc
Lots of orgasms (allegedly gives your uterus the extra heat that acts like a sperm-attracting beacon and the contractions of the uterus hoover up the sperm, I suspect that this is complete bs but it's more fun than dutifully swigging grapefruit juice ) LOl love this :-)
Brazil nuts and pineapple to (supposedly) help with implantation.

I don't have any green sheets otherwise I might be tempted to try those!
Dragon statues, green pom poms & cream eggs are needed too!

Lol love this, anyone else want to copy/paste & add??

I can't copy and paste on my phone app but I'm trying the Conceive Plus Fertility Lubricant this month as I have had a distinct lack of ewcm over the past couple of cycles.

Hi, just to introduce myself I am 36, ttc #1 cycle 8. BFP due 24th March. Until now been just shagging and keen to stay relaxed cos I really believe trying too hard can be counterproductive, but wondering whether to try opks and upside down peddling, koala etc this month!

Room for a little one? ... My first time on the bus :)

Ttc#1, cycle 1, Bfp due 21st March!!

Good luck ladies!

Driving myself mental here ... Nauseau continues worse than yesterday , sore breasts, crampy belly also feels full iykwim, keep on going to the loo and now manufacturing cravings apparently feel like I could just drink the vinegar the gurkins I just had are in . This is crazy

That sounds exciting Nordic. When is AF due?

End of the week so still 5 d early I think and I don't normally get this early positives but it's driving me crazy I feel so bad . It's possible that the nausea is due to my chronic illness and other symptoms pms but having had 1 full and 10 early pregnancies this is how it's felt before ... I wish I felt nothing and then either a neg or pos test . This is pure torture .

Welcome no saint and baby

Nordic.....ooh exciting symptoms!!!! Keep poas

Welcome Nosaint and Babybaby, hope you have a shirt journey with us but if you end up staying longer than you thought, we're a good bunch who will hopefully pull you out of any down days and cheer with you when you get your BFP!!

Nordic...... Poas poas poas! Sounds distinctly like a bfp!!

Welcome nosaint and baby! Good luck!

Oh Nordic sounds promising, when will you poas?

Ladies, I hate to get my hopes up as it usually means falling harder....but there has been no spotting overnight or this morning. I'm now 9dpo. Of course it could be due to the vitex changing things up....but I can't help but wish, hope and pray that I get my bfp!!! I know it's a long shot....but I'm praying so hard for this....please please please spotting stay away!!!!

I wonder if the dragon would keep the spotting away?!?!

On another note....OBEM..well that was emotional....and I don't get emotional over much....but that tipped me over the edge slightly!

Have a great day everyone. I will provide a spotting update at lunch time.

Mama... that sounds great!! You need to leave your cervix well alone!! Fingers crossed for you!! When will you start poas?!!!

OBEM.....loved it!!

Second English mama leave it alone!! Sooooo excited, hope this is it for you!!!!

well my lovely dh put on obem last night without me even asking (I had it sky +'d as there's always something else on at the same time), for me to then fall asleep at 9.30, pah!! I'll watch it today. Is it at another hospital this time?

Choccy.....it was at Bristol. Didn't see last series as I was abroad so don't know if its different.

Mama.....ooooh.....I am keeping everything crossed for a bfp.....and leave well alone!!!!

Choccy obem is in a new hospital this time, didn't get to watch it last night as my 2 year old wouldn't settle but it's recorded so it's all good

Ahhhh I thought they were different mws.
So, my lovely dh has offered to 'fill me up' today as ds is going to nanny and grandads.
How romantic (swoon........)
