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.

I have just been kicked off the Feb bus by the rude arrival of AF so have come to join all the lovely people already on board the March bus. Stats;
Rambini TTC #1 cycle #2 AF/BFP due 19th March.
FX for lots of BFPs

I had my fixed smiley today so been well on truly on the march roller coaster. I am amazed I ovulate at this stage - much earlier than I thought tbh!!

gennibugs what cycle day are you? Are you using clearblue digital OPK? Am hoping for fixed smiley tomorrow!

I'm on cycle day 10 and got my fixed smiley this morning after two days of flashing smileys.

Hope you get yours tomorrow - how are you liking the clearblues so far?

Snap! Am cd10 too. Hoping for fixed smiley tomorrow. This is first month I have used these opks, I used cheap internet ones before. Much prefer just having a smiley or not rather than having to squint at a line and work out whether it is there or not, or if it darker than the control line. And also having the flashing smileys as a warning that ov approaching so you know when to start dtd. But they are expensive. And if I don't get a BFP this month I'll probably think they were a waste of money (but still get them for next )

How are you finding them?

SaRaRaRaRa we are cycle buddies! So far I like them. Ive never used OPKs before but a friend of mine swears by these ones so thought Id give them a go. She doesnt know we are TTC but just said one day - if and when you decide to try go for these ones so I thought Id take her advice! So far I like them - I never thought I ovulated this early so if nothing else its taught me that. Ill prob deem them to be a waste of money though if I dont get my BFP this month lol mind you! Ive used far less this cycle than I thought so hoping if BFP doesnt come this month I can use them again next month? Not sure if you can do that or not though.

Gingerbreadlady1 - lob us a creme egg too please!

I'm bored, I'm in the first 2ww,ie waiting to be ready to start opk testing. This whole process is just 1 long waiting game & I'm not well know for my patience!

Hi ladies!

I haven't been great at keeping up with both buses and it would seem the March bus is more likely for my bfp than feb! So I shall keep up to date with you lot!!

Ok so I had my reflexology session on Monday, absolutely loved it but would have perhaps preferred it closer to ovulation which is this wkend! Also started vitex and maca this month to try and balance my hormones and stop my usual pre af spotting that disrupts my LP! Hoping it all works!

Had a full wkend of dtd just for pleasure which was lovely!!! Now starting smep from today (sneaky lunchtime shag!!!)

Good luck ladies hope March is the one for us all!!!

Genni - great to have a cycle buddy! Especially when it comes to the dreaded 2ww. We can stop each other symptom spotting! Did your friend fall pregnant using these OPKs then? I'm not sure if you can use any left next month. I hope so as they are expensive! Although at this rate I will be using them all - my smiley was still flashing this morning! Hopefully peak tomorrow... Will dtd tonight.

I know what you mean about first 2ww ginger, this whole thing is just a loooooong waiting game isn't it! For ov then for BFP/af. I am also not known for my patience!

Hey mama hope the reflexology works for you. And the supplements. I have started spotting a bit before AF on my last two cycles. I'm not sure if it's a new thing or if I'm just more aware as I'm looking out for any tiny thing.

TTC #1, Cycle #3, BFP due 6th March (although AF is a little unpredictable!!)

Can I jump on to? AF arrived today (2 and a half weeks late!) as last cycle was 46 days and the one previous was 29 days I'm not sure when or if the BFP will arrive but fingers crossed! This is will be fourth month of trying - good luck to all!

Aargh I'm driving myself bloody mad whether to go for it in March or not - someone tell me what to do pls! Going to the US for 4 weeks in the summer so if I fell first month, I'd be 20-24 weeks. Good time to be away & pregnant or not?

Cth wow 2 and half weeks late that must have been terrible waiting and wondering! Have all of your cycles been different lengths so far? It's so hard not knowing what's happening!

Thanks sararara! Good luck to you too! Hope this is a lucky bus for you!

Also OPKs - never used them and don't know if I want to and add stress. With the last two children we pretty much got down to it every day and fell first month both times.

Are they simple to use?

Hi Mama31 - I came off the pill in September - normal end of Pill AF in November then 29 Day Cycle for December now this whopper! I have PCOS but according to the Doctors it is 'mild' so am charting as I go to see what my average cycle length will fall into - it is very frustrating though - have now also invested in a basel temp to try and figure when ovulation is actually happening (if at all - which hopefully it is!)

Hi all,
I was rudely kicked off the Feb bus, AF got me on my birthday But I remain positive and a November baby would be lovely me thinks.

Just a question, apart from cough medicine, what else can I use to increase ewcm? and how long does it take to kick in?

Thanks in advance

MrBsMrsB ttc#1 cycle 3

Hi All! This bus is starting to get busier!

Mama31 Ive heard that reflexology is very relaxing! Ive always wanted to try it. Fingers crossed it works for you!

Sara yes my friend told me that they TTC for a while and then the first month she used them she got her BFP. I mean it could well be coincidence, but I like to cling on to anything! I do feel very positive and optimistic this month for some reason though!

Tranquilitybaby Ive only ever used the Clearblue OPKs first time this cycle. Ive found them useful so far as I realised I ovulate much earlier than I thought so have been missing this every month that weve been TTC. The only problem with the CB ones are that they are expensive! I know some people dont like them but so far both DH and I quite like them.

Mrsb sorry to hear that! How cruel! I use oil of evening primrose capsules only up to ovulation. I think they work!

Oh and apparently a glass of grapefruit juice up to ovulation also!

I'm loosing track with my lotions and potions but think fish oils/omega oils also help ewcm (I'm taking them anyway & these can be taken throughout cycle)

Grapefruit juice - hate the stuff!

cth what a torture af being two weeks late. I hope this cycle is shorter.

tranquility, I'm using the clearblue OPK too and am finding them good so far. They are expensive though, as genni said. I used internet cheapies previously and althought they were useful I did sometimes struggle to work out whether line was as dark as control, etc. But they have me a good gauge as to roughly when ov was. Re being pregnant on hols, when I was pregnant with DS 20-30 weeks was my favourite part of pregnancy - sickness had gone, not big enough to be uncomfy. So I would be tempted to go for it, as long as I would have a comfy bed! Will you be travelling around much?

rings bus bell, hops off bus at Morrisons, clears shelf of Evening Primrose, grapefruit juice and Omega 3, does her best impression of Usain Bolt to get back on the bus with multiple bags of ttc goodies

Thank you mama and ginger

I really cant stand cough meds so I'm going to stock up on the alternatives.

lol!

if you didnt find everything in morrisons, holland and Barrett also do omega 3,6,9 in 1 capsule not cheap tho!
